There is no such thing as a "house negro".

Ann Coulter's column today sums up the Democrats' attitude toward Republican Blacks better than anyone else can.

Standard liberal racism.

They hate the blacks so much, they can't stand it. So, they use every device imaginable to keep them down on the plantation.

They do the same with latinos.

How minorities deal with the liberal combination of condescension and actively trying to kill them off through abortion is beyond me.

Outside of skin-heads there is no more racist being than a white liberal.

Actually, there is a more racist being than a white liberal: a minority liberal.

Ths sounds like an interesting defense strategery if I decide to pull a "Claude Allen"... go to Target and run a scam by returning items I hadn't bought, for cash.

One would think a conservative "house negro" would have at least shoplifted from Brooks Brothers or Nordstrom.

"Erin Aubry Kaplan began working full-time as a journalist in 1992 for The Times and, for a short time, for a section called City Times, where she continued covering the Crenshaw district, South Central and events affecting L.A.'s disparate black communities. She also worked for New Times Los Angeles and LA Weekly, where she wrote a column, "Cakewalk." A widely anthologized author, Kaplan's articles have appeared in the London Independent, the Guardian, Salon.com, The Crisis, Newsday, Contemporary Art Magazine, the Utne Reader and Black Enterprise. She has completed a first book, an essay collection entitled, "Views and Blues from the Edge: Dispatches from a Black Journalista."."

The only thing I am interested in this subject is. You mean to tell me this guy did not have a record at all on anything unlawful?

This guy is either mentally sick beyond belief or addicted to something.. God knows what. Assuming what he did is true (don't trust the media completely), this is a habit he must have picked up in his youth probably. How can anyone mask it for an entire life, just until now?

Does anyone know or have a theory?

Thought it needed repeating.

Tell me about it.

Once you step off the plantation and embrace conservatism the left, (especially the Black left), they call you a traitor and strip you of your racial heritage.

I've been called a sellout so many times I'm starting to think it's my first name, hehehe.....

But hey, let 'em do it. I'm trying to make something of myself in this great nation with boundless opportunities. What are they doing besides being eternal victims?

Speaking of "House Negroes" -- Remembering Ron Brown and Long Beach:

In the beginning of the book, Woodward lists Clinton's nine-member "economic team." [Ron] Brown is not on it. Nor is Brown among the 31 Democrats who comprise Woodward's "cast of characters." What intrigues the observer about this cast is it looks less "like America" than it does like, say, Idaho.

Of the 31 Democrats listed – 22 of whom are part of Clinton's official team – not one is a racial minority of any kind. Of the 70 identifiable faces (including repetition) in the photo section of the book, all are white. And this is the "domestic" team. On the national security front, minorities did not even enjoy the illusion of power. There were no Condi Rices, no Colin Powells, nothing like it.

Blacks and Hispanics in the Clinton administration enjoyed little more than the trappings of power. As Brown learned, the appointment of minorities served largely to appease key voting blocs. Neither he nor the other minorities in the Cabinet were even allowed to pick their own second in command. That person was inevitably a Clinton plant in place to do the administration's real work.

Kaplan surmises that Mr. Allen's "compromises" and "cognitive dissonance" as a conservative black male may have taken a "psychological toll" on him. She then questions if this caused Allen to "finally crack under the pressure."

**************

The arrogance and patronizing attitude are simply breathtaking. In Kaplan's mind, Allen's race makes him too fragile to cope. I wonder how she explains Rice and Powell, then?

"All black folk, even conservatives, know they have to be three times as upstanding just to get along."

Would that Jason Blair were held to such a high standard.
