OK, so now we can talk some policy, and not the simple minded insults of intraracial slang and labeling each other master and slave....at least I think that is where this conversation is going. I never know with some of you dems. When you are pushed against a wall, all you have is the typical uncle tom, insults, which is evident above......
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was you that brought up the Uncle Tom issue and when asked to show proof of me bringing it up, you went on the typical insecure black republican rant about what you assumed.
But in case we are going to have a real discussion, here is my stance
I have said in many occasions that black people are more conservative than any in this country. As a culture, we are not liberal, except in terms of our cival rights.
I really don't want to say this suge, but there's no other way for me to say it.
That's some dumb shiddd you just said there. How does wanting to have the same privileges as any other white American in this country make you have liberal views?
Now I can understand a white racist republican feeling that way about white democrats wanting black to have the same equal rights, because we all know the majority of them don't, but how the hell you're going to look another black man in the face and tell him "you're a liberal because you want to be treated equal as white"?
We are not liberal in terms of religion, marriage, sexuality, finances, government, or family. And I think that the passage of Prop 8 is an even greater justification of my beliefs, which is why I find it even harder to understand the blind loyalty that some of us have to the democratic party. The fact that 70% voted against Prop 8 tells me that black people are very conservative, yet we will often vote a liberal agenda, simply because that agenda is one driven by the democratic party. I think that is a serious contradiction. But one we all have the right to have. And we all have some contradictions in our political stance, regardless of if we side with the left or
the right.
First and foremost, you have the same problem most black republicans have. You buy into the name game like a group of ghetto fabulous women at a flea market sale.
For the most part you never hear black democrats refer to themselves as liberals, you only hear that kind of dumb rhetoric coming form the mouth of white republicans and their black republicans counter parts, that use that line to divert attention from the fact that they're the ones who follow their party like a bunch of mindless drones, even though that party has openly shown over and over that they don't respect them and only call on them when they feel they can use them to defeat another BLACK person or give the false impression that they are inclusive. (like the perpetual lone black guy in the crowd)
I think that when faced with an issue like Prop 8, one that is not tied to any political party at all, but just a pure bipartisan issue, the conservative mentality of african americans is revealed. Yet many will not label themselves conservatives, simply for the typical backlash that may come their way from other black folks. And I think white folks do the same. In this election, southern whites in some circles supported McCain because it was the "thing to do", and it wasn't popular to support Obama in the South, even if they wanted to. It was the same with us and supporting Obama. If a black man did not support Obama, he was seen as some type of traitor. Contradictions go both ways......
First of all, black people have never label themselves anything, that's your biggest problem, (refer back to buying the name game ).
Secondly nobody thought they were a traitor because somebody black voted for McCain, just either dumb as hell or another negro still afraid to buck the white man
Did I answer your "trick" question well enough for you blue? My master is and will always be my mind. Unlike many, I try to use it to form my own opionion. Sometimes that opion agrees with the masses, sometimes it does not. Either way, I stand behind what I think and how I feel. Just my nature.......typical calls of slave, master, uncle tom, any any other nonsense, never sways me in any manner.
