I've noticed the same premise (regarding the education of children).

Oreos, according to their quotes, articles, coverage -- only exist in the Republican Party; ergo, the hidden mentality of the "Oreo" monicker: Don't become a Republican.

Isn't it amazing that people fall for it, too? And let's not forget "Uncle Tom" (which is supposed to be an insult, even though the man on whom the Uncle Tom character was based led slaves to freedom). The message is definitely: Don't be a Republican (just look at what Colin Powell and Condi Rice have had to deal with recently) and certainly not a libertarian/Libertarian (thinking of Larry Elder there), though no one takes us as seriously.

Funny, the whole attitude seems to be: How DARE an African-American claim that African-Americans can do it on their own without "whitey's help"! Lol. And the racists I've come across on the Democrat side! I think GWB got it right with that phrase, "the subtle racism of low expectations," or whatever it was he said - it was a perfect analysis of the Democrat attitude in one short phrase.

Yours: Funny, the whole attitude seems to be: How DARE an African-American claim that African-Americans can do it on their own without "whitey's help"!

And the hurtful part is -- Blacks (sticking my 60's lingo) who support the very party asserting "blacks" can't do it on their own are making BIG TIME FOOLS of American Blacks. The Dems are encouraging the "image" of American Blacks appearing "IQ-deficient" the longer American Blacks support the very party holding them down and back. (while Jackson screams about white racism from the "right".) Madness...

"the subtle racism of low expectations,"

The originator of the phrase "soft bigotry of low expectations" was originated by none-other than CA's (co-author) Prop 209 -- Glynn Custred! :)
