Rainbow Coalition racism By Tribune-Review

Something to consider, though. The superheros of the black movement -- Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton -- are noticeably absent when a black Republican is attacked.

They have no problem donning their race-card capes when a liberal black is attacked. But they had a hard time finding Maryland on the map when New York Sen. Chuck Schumer's henchmen did an illegal credit check on Michael Steele.

Where was their outrage? Their circus-like news conferences?

LOL! Me too! That's why I just posted to 'hourglass' and not the mods also! :)

Yes we still hear the mantra from blacks about the "racism" problem in the U.S.A. effecting blacks, all as a B.E.T. poll, blacks call Louie Fharrakan "MAN OF THE YEAR"

Said Banks, now an outreach director for the Republican State Committee: "An African-American Republican running for office can expect to be pictured incessantly with President Bush, linked with the NRA and gun proliferation ... labeled a sellout and compared to Strom Thurman."

Uh, these are GOOD things to be in the GOP, Mr.Banks

You may be in the WRONG party.

[serendepitylives]

that was not his point...his point was that they blend all of it together all of everything he quoted...as negatives...

Maybe Banks should be a Democrat.

you are missing the point, or maybe i did not write it well, his point is that combined those are the methods of attacks, not that he does not support bush, or is pro-gun, but it is what the D's use as attack methods...just as they use them against santorum, but add the 'whitey' splashed across his campaign signs then it becomes a horse of a different color...http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/opinion/columnists/zito/

good article

The sad fact is that J.C. Watts, Thomas Sowell, Condoleeza Rice, et al, scare the hell out of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. If more black children modeled their lives after those who have worked hard and achieved the American Dream, Jesse and Al would be out of business. Can you imagine Jesse actually working for a living? He prefers the "other W-word", WHINING.

Black to these people isn't about skin color, it's about state of mind. How do you think BJ Clinton was our first black president?

Short of WWII, can someone tell me when Democrats have been on the RIGHT side of history?

And they weren't *totally* in the right there. FDR and company sent at least one shipload of Jews trying to escape the Nazis back to Europe. In each of the great moral/ethical questions of our nation's history, the Democratic Party could be counted on to stand foursquare on the wrong side, every time...

No, thank you for writing that piece.

As a civilized society we all need to come to grips with our behavior and how we treat our fellow human beings.

The golden rule and its corollary, "treat individuals as they treat the rest of society" are the two keys to civilized society.

Thank you.
