Best advertisement against affirmative action in history.
Best gun and ammo salesman in history.
Worst insult to black male machismo in history.
I may be wrong, but my take on it is that nobody in their right mind is going to sign on to a Black candidate right now, that they aren’t damned certain about. While that is probably the man-child’s fault, it’s also a wise stance on any candidate, White or Black.
I think we’re going to know a lot more about our presidential candidates in the future, before we vote for them in the primaries.
Didn't read on--how can we possibly take this person seriously unless we know if he's black or white????
I’d vote for Thomas Sowell in an instant.
This article shows why liberals are the biggest racists around. My apologies to Perry Bacon if he voted Republican in the last election, or in any election, for that matter.
Like Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell is not black.
Then what race are they?
Well, you know the old adage that works in every situation and applies to everyone: “You reap what you sow”.
The defeats suggest that Obama's victory did not herald greater success for other black politicians.
Surprise, surprise: BO has no coattails.
The majority of black politicians in Washington are members of the Congressional Black Caucus, representing districts that are disproportionately liberal and African American, making it difficult for them to build broader coalitions of supporters to win a statewide race.
This is just common sense: a politician of any color or ethnicity has to build a broad base of support if he wants to win higher office representing greater numbers of people. They sound as if they've just discovered this. Duh.
African Americans "are so invested personally in Barack Obama the man, and it's unique to him," said Cornell Belcher, a black pollster who worked on the Obama campaign. "They are invested in him in a way they are not in other black political leaders."
This is all about BO and not about our country or anyone else in it.
A black client in DC during the ‘08 primaries said no way she would vote for Obama. She was concerned about his lack of actual real-world experience, and didn’t want him to win because if he messed up, it would ruin any future hopes for blacks for generations. She’s looking mighty prescient now.
Like Me Old Daddy used to say: “Some good comes from all bad”
Ask any liberal, they'll be more than happy to explain it.
;) ;) ;)
Or Herman Cain. A man of real accomplishments.
Why would anyone draw a connection between Black Politician A and Black Politician B?
I sometimes wonder if we will ever stop putting people into hyphenated groups and seeing them solely as members of that group.
Obama is bringing change to Blacks. He himself made such a point of asking people to see him as Black that he has set Blacks back 75 years by his complete ineptitude and his hate of religion and his cozying up with terrorists. There are lots of qualified Blacks, but Obama was not one of them.
What was the 1/16th rule? Almost every ‘black’ or “African American” in the USA today considers Obama one of their own. Actually I don’t think of him either as ‘black’ or as ‘American.’
