I can't argue how some here don't brook legitimate criticsim of Palin ...as they did with Bush....I can't stand that.

But the problem is they have in the past supported proven lightweight righties like Powell and Rice and Steele just for being black..hence why I mentioned their race.

I also think Cain and West even if somewhat deserved get special bumps for skin color.

This is simply my opinion...as an 11 year vet here..but I think most freepers even if they eschew affirmative action and other race quota stuff as a rule...especially if from up north or out west harbor essentially the same views on race that liberal whites do.

Exceptions would be Detroit and Cleveland whites...and a few others who have real time experience.

We do the same thing with other minorities..like latinos even though we know the more and more of them will kill us voting wise...for years here it was almost verboten to oppose amnesty as racist even though they vote 70-80% Democrat

Just my opinion but freepers are naive or just scared into giving the “good manners” answer on any race question even if in their hearts they suspect the facts don't support it

I'm southern from the blackest state in the Union and older..and am not bound by such doomed idealism

Agree but you should have stated Too Many Freepers rather than a blanket statement. And the ones that quote MLK's speech etc about a Dream are the worst offenders
It also shows a weakness ( and any black hearing people use that argument know it )
