There are plenty of blacks out there who hold your values, and loathe the exploitive race merchants like PUSH. Jesse Lee Peterson is the perfect example. However, Rev. Peterson, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams... they're all branded as "Uncle Toms" by the liberal black caucus. I think that may play a role in the reluctance of blacks to openly admit the conservative/moral views they possess. They fear being unfairly branded by the likes of Michael Eric Dyson and Jesse Jackson.

Right again. As a conservative black, I'm constantly reminded that I'm not "black" enough if I hold conservative views....and to support President Bush, that's the epitomy of being an "Uncle Tom". Case in point, several weeks ago a "friend" of mine told me that I was a "privileged" black who wasn't sensitive to black issues....not "black" enough! Imagine that! In regards to Colin Powell and Condeleeza Rice.....liberal democrats (both black and white) don't know what to do with them. If these two same individuals held these same positions in a Democratic presidency, they would be lauded from the rooftops! Did you ever notice that when the liberals attack President Bush, it's always Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld? Mr. Powell and Ms. Rice are never mentioned, they're just ignored! Yet they played key roles during the pre-war fight with the UN Security Council. The Democracts would love to lay claim to being the first party to have two African Americans in such high positions. (This is a first and I applaud the Republic Party.) That's why the Dems are opposing the nomination of Mr. Estrada.)
Mr. Frist needs to get radical!) Yet, the Republicans are accused of being racist! When will the African American community wake up from their coma and see the Democratic Party for what it really is? They are enablers and they have enslaved the African American community mentally, psychologically, and economically and they don't even know it.
