Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

I have to say that this article sickened me. Why does everything have to be seen as black/white?

This "professor" that wrote the article would not have an identity apart from his hate of whitey.

Did any of the posters even bother to read the article? The majority of the responses here seem to be fixated on policies embraced by the liberal left. The writer is clearly looking for a different way.

Mr. Clingman may be a bit dense, but he appears to have a grasp of the crucial theories of black conservative self-determination. Good luck to you Mr. Clingman. Black Americans would be much better off listening to you than to Al Sharpton.

"You know, sometimes I wish it were so. Maybe if White folks stopped doing what they are doing for us, we’d be more inclined to do more for ourselves. Maybe if they would back off a bit and we would step up a bit, better relationships would exist between the two groups, because there would be more reciprocity, more leverage available to Black people, and a greater likelihood of positive responses from White folks when we really do need their support. Maybe, if Black people get our economic act together by recycling our dollars, supporting our own businesses, and building income-producing infrastructure, maybe Whites would be knocking on our doors asking to play ball with us.

I have talked to the author by phone and read one of his books before and for the most part, he makes sense. His call is not for separatism but for more self-sufficiency, which includes personal responsibility. The way he said it may sound "racist" but he typically writes for a Black audience and many of them will only understand it if it's slanted that way.
