“Conservatives paint Liberal Blacks as Angry or Dumb or Seeking Handouts.”

I need to see some examples of the treatment of what you consider to be conservative racism. You clearly misunderstand the Magic Negro song parody. Most opponents usually ridicule their opponents as dumb do that is a common element on both sides, which leaves what? Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are professional race pimps. They run shakedown businesses. It’s all about money and power for them.

Shelby Steele(?) had some interesting thoughts about Obama and his “nonthreatening” demeanor toward white people. If you read his books, however, you find some very bigoted portions in there that make him sound very much like Jeremiah Wright. He’s the least qualified and least examined President we’ve ever had and the media deliberately skipped it’s normal vetting process.

You also dodged my question about whether you thought Rush Limbaugh was racist.

Because the final point was simple: it’s not his blog. It’s Patterico’s. Patterico made his feelings on this subject very clear.

But the person could not stay away from the topic (and I’m not talking about his partisan bickering here), and had to justify his own actions in a quite superior fashion…instead of just dropping the subject.

Not surprising. But he will eventually move on, and I have seen (and you have seen) people who were very trollish initially become civil and contribute productively to this blog. Maybe it will happen here, too.

Ditto.

Goodnight.

I think some folks who went to town on me need to take a look in the mirror and understand that their reaction was way overboard and simply a butt shot without reading any of the posts in the early part of the thread. Once the name calling started … hey, I still don’t believe I personally called out anyone regardless in any of this matter.

And no I don’t give in just b/c someone says so — which was the line of reasoning present by most in that thread. This is not my nature. I like it when folks convince me, not threaten me or talk to me like I am an idiot simply b/c I don’t belong to the club.

BUZZ, Wright and Obama are fools IMHO but that is not the discussion and it completely avoiding the point made. At least, you are not the only one.

Liberals paint Conservative Blacks as Toms and better yet Naive Toms, Conservatives paint Liberal Blacks as Angry or Dumb or Seeking Handouts. This is not a Liberal or Conservative position but a statement of fact and a tool both use to score points with their base. It simply is for better or worse and as a minority I see it all the time.

And to those calling me a Liberal in the Democrat sense — you need read a little closer. The name (sarcasm) says it all though truthfully I am not in the “amen corner” for the Republican Party either.

Cheerio.

Can you identify what merited the string of insults and puts downs?

Seriously, we can chat from there if you desire.

Just asking because I seem to be the only poster who actually asks questions instead of going into personal attack mode when someone says something “taboo.”

So, if you want to dialogue …. extend an open hand.
