Black Candidates: We Can Do Better

Washinton Post ^ | 2/26/2003 | Jonetta Roses Barras

One is a small-time New York cultural-nationalist hustler and alleged federal snitch who wants to be a statesman. The other was accused of misusing campaign funds -- maybe even her campaign manager -- and cavorting with Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha at a time when many African Americans had mounted an international campaign against the West African leader because of his human rights violations.

I was absolutely shocked to read this. It gives me hope for a new generation of black people. People without the psychic damage that has been done to them by Liberals.

[moneyrunner]

whoops; that's Washington Post.

People without the psychic damage that has been done to them by Liberals.

You mean like Condi Rice, JC Watts, Alan Keyes, Ward Connerly, Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Collin Powell... vs Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Charles Rangel, Maxine Waters, hehehheheh Perhaps the DNC has been practicing eugenics, only courting the stupid and evil...

I find this amazing that it comes from the Wash Compost.

T-minus 15 days until the birth of Tha SYNDICATE, the philosophical heir to William Lloyd Garrison.

The Post has been surprising me lately. Will, Krauthammer, Kelly, and now this. Good stuff.

Exactly. It takes an independent mind and strength of character to rise above the constant drumbeat that black people are subjected to – and subject each other to. The constant warning that the KKK is hiding under the bed. That whites hate blacks, even if they don’t know it. That racism is the difference between your flipping burgers at Micky D’s and being chairman of the board. That Black is Beautiful. That It’s a Black Thing, You Wouldn’t Understand. That segregation is bad, but Black Dorms, Black Caucuses and Black Graduations are good.

And these are just the less obnoxious examples. We won’t get into calling Jews “bloodsuckers” as one Democratic Presidential aspirant has. We won’t mention Tawanda Brawley or her supporters, the Nation of Islam and other hate groups.

Kay Graham is (still) dead.

You mean like Condi Rice, JC Watts, Alan Keyes, Ward Connerly, Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Collin Powell...

They're not black, they're Republicans.

... then they can't use bankrupt candidates with abysmal records to repair the breach.

And then in the next paragraph Ron Kirk is suggested?? HA?!?!?!

[Trueblackman]

Well never be let it be said that I did not say so, but I am considering and I do mean CONSIDERING a run at for Maryland's 2nd Congressional District, I plan to talk with Maryland's Republican Party on their thought on if we can retake the district.

[RightOnline]

Do it, damn it.

[expatpat]

The Democrap leaders don't want a viable black candidate running. It would mean the loss of their power in the Party.

[lizm_77]

anybody read Kay's bio? astounding how unimpressive she was.

[Little Bill]

Ping to you, for a change.

[mhking]

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.

[Little Bill]

The rats don't want admit that there are Black people who think and contribute to the national debate, the rats were the slave party and they remain the slave party. American citizens do not neeed permission to enter the political forum.

[rabidralph]

I hope it turns out to be the right thing for you to do.

[moneyrunner]

Go for it. If the Republicans don't support you, go Independent.

Please add Jennifer Carroll to your list of the up and coming Republicans. She has an excellent record of service and deserved a lot more support in her two challenges to Corrine Brown (D-FLA 3rd).

Jennifer is a twenty year Navy veteran, retired as Lieutenant Commander, rising from the enlisted ranks. She is also a former state director of Veterans Affairs. For more on Jennifer see bampac and her website.

Corrine Brown is certainly a poster child for the We Can Do Better campaign.
