...have blacks in my family...Okay, let me get this straight.
Here you say you have blacks in your family. Wonderful.
But let's go back to what you said previously:
One could make the argument, that Americans should be just as suspect of the blacks that by their silence and votes support the CBC, as we should be of Muslims who by their silence or inaction, support the militant Islamists amongst them.
Now I have a question. Are you just as distrustful of your black family members (since they are black after all) as you would be of a black person like mhking or myself who don't fit your distrustful description? Remember, just looking at us you would not know what our politics are.
"Are you just as distrustful of your black family members (since they are black after all) as you would be of a black person like mhking or myself who don't fit your distrustful description? Hardly an intelligent question...or you're missing my point entirely....
Individuals that demonstrate their individuality can be judged accordingly..
Since one can not meet all members of any large group - one determines how they will regard that group by their collective behavior or the positions taken by their "leaders" or "spokespersons"....
It really makes no difference if the group is racial, ethnic or political --- the public "persona" of that group in many ways is determined by the behavior and actions of the group or their "leadership's" positions...
All I am saying, is that I think it is rational - to be wary or suspicious of any "group" when that group has demonstrated "unfriendly" or "undesirable" behavior...
Have you attempted to join a KKK Bar-B-Que lately? Kind of an extreme example, but I hope you'll understand my point...
This is never a easy subject to discuss.
Most whites are not honest about how they feel about the problems facing race relations in this country.. We are in a world of hurt...and I don't hold much hope for quick resolutions, when I see the direction the majority of black "leaders" and black "spokespersons" are taking the situation..
