"My point is that when addressing your typical person of color the beautiful brown lady will be better received."

So the typical "person of color" can't receive the simple truth unless it's from a person with some pigmentation because of the person of colors racism? LOL, I'll have to think about that one, you could be right, but then, I know that is not Michelle Malkins requirement nor the requirement of any true conservative.

well, i was speaking in generalities. no slap at the cognitive or perceptual abilities of the typical person of color, merely an observation of predilictions. Smart people often have to be challenged to overcome preconceived notions and "received truths."

if the preconceived notions say, "whitey lies to you," it's gonna be harder to hear counter-intuitive arguments from a Nordic blonde. (Not that I don't like Nordic blondes.)

In communications-theory terms, we're shaping the message to better get thru the channel.
