Authentically black. What the heck does that mean? Am I the only person on the planet who sees the blatant racism in such a statement? I love sushi. I prefer country music over rap. Does this make me less black?
White and black liberal democrats say if you don't fit their angry urbanite, Ebonics speaking, who's the daddy TV talk show viewing, welfare recipient with a criminal record stereotype, you are not authentically black. Looking down their intellectual and self-righteous noses of superiority they proclaim to minorities, you poor inferior victims of American oppression, we sympathize and feel your pain. They're offended by individuals who escape or bypass their ghetto experience box and go on to achieve great success. How arrogant. How racist.
Imagine MLK brought back to life and told, Dr King, blacks who are educated, sophisticated, articulate and harbor no resentment against America are called Uncle Toms, traitors and inauthentic. Dr King would think himself in an episode of the Twilight Zone.
Thanks to the heroic efforts of civil rights pioneers such as MLK, blacks are thriving in all areas of American business, society and influence. Unfortunately, benefactors of the civil rights movement are persecuted by liberals who claim to have their best interest at heart.
For libs who think I'm not authentically black, I'll spout a little hood lingo, Yo, peace out.

Then he should stop lying to the masses who intend to vote for Obama based on the "fact" that he will be the first black president.
Believe it or not, I can relate as a white guy...er, dude. You see, I care not about someone's skin color or how wealthy, connected or influential someone is. But I'm a Conservative and because of that, the media and the left in general have erroneously deemed me racist, homophobic, “intolerant”, gun-nut, money-grubbing, woman-opressing dupe of religion. And somehow, I'M intolerant and a hater? It's confusing I know. Thanks for the post.
Actually, I prefer the mantra, "Conservatives do it better."
When we’re doin’ it. I feel like we got a chronic case of the blueballs these days.
