Conservative Blacks have no more ability to clean up the likes of McKinney than Whites have the ability to clean up the likes of Jim McDermott. I'd like to see us get away from the idea that we as individuals are somehow responsible for policing our 'group.' Let's all of us denounce McKinney as the shrill, clownish, race-baiting harpy she is.
Good points!! No one is in any way 'responsible' for the words or actions of someone else who merely happens to share natural physical characteristics, whether it be race, age, genitalia, whatever. The only time it is relevant to talk about someone's responsibility to "clean up" the mess of others in a group is if that group has been voluntarily chosen through shared activity, such as a political party, etc. Certainly it is relevant to say that DEMOCRATS should be pushed to either affirm or disavow McKinney's words and behavior, since they claim to share an agenda and a political party. But it cannot be expected that "black conservatives" bear the slightest responsibility for the moonbat leftists who happen to be black. Anyway, if the wise words of Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams have not made any inroads with the likes of McKinney and her supporters, I cannot imagine that anything else will succeed, either.
