SUtrp, I don't know what your political affiliation is, but at the very least I can assume you to be an "independent". What is really sad is that a lot of die hard black Democrats hate Black Independents worse than Black Republicans. lol
With Republicans their argument is Uncle Tom this, Sellout that, Rich v.s Poor yadayada. But with Black Independents they really can't use those outdated arguments. Most of these guys are still plugged into the "Borg". They will damn near fight you if you have a divergent philosophy. The sad thing is, they only feel this way towards other Blacks that disagree with them. Like Obama said in his own book, it's "Plantation Politics".
You'd have a better chance of teaching a Chimpanzee Quantum Physics than getting these guys to see a different point of view.
lmao..You are right man. I find it VERY difficult to even understand the "educated" democratic folk.
I am more of a conservative mind... but it's only a few issues I can't stand with Republicans. Due to how this country was formed.. I do believe there is a need for affirmative action. Because with out it whites have the natural tendacy to look out for their own. I see it here at my job a good bit.. But out side of thatand the fact both parties had their hands in some kind of form of oppresion of blacks that kind of bothers me.
So I am independant. I had to damn near fight a black cat here for questioning me in front of the other FEW blacks on why I wasn't voting for Obama...smh
I told him I was voting for Ron Paul.. He ain't know who Ron Paul was... So I embarressed him by pointing out the simple fact, most of them were too ignorant to not even know ALL of the possible candidates on the ticket!
So the argument shifted.. I said If Ron Paul wasn't on the ticket I had no one to vote for so I wouldn't vote...
He brought up the usual line.."Our people faught for us to vote".. I told him "NO.. they fought for us to have the RIGHT to vote"....
Then I asked him.."If you had an option of voting for 2 things to eats or not vote and stick with what you already have in the fridge and the 2 pieces of food to vote for was not to your liking would you vote than eat one of them when you was already fine with what you had in the fridge?"
The fool told me.. How about you poor relatives? I said.. What about them? Fool said.. "Atleast vote for them"...LMAO
I told that clown.. "Dude you are fuged up in the head so many ways and your thinking is shared by a lot of lost people.. My poor relatives HAVE their right to vote..I told him, they are poor because of the democratic policies that enable them and make them NOT want to do shyt... and I know this because they said it! I will not vote to further this poor choice of living"...
For some sick reason.. a lot of blacks with degrees feel GUILTY for doing RIGHT and getting their life together.. And they feel voting for the POOR people is some kind of damn charity.
Brah... our people are JACKED up all kind of ways!
