I see NOTHING racist in his post.
African-Americans are a constituency and he's asking if Obama's tax deal is good for this constituency .. no differently than someone asking if the deal is good for any constituency.
You may not care about black politics .. and that's fine, but some of us do and we discuss it .. no differently than politics for women, gays, or conservatives.
Definition of CONSTITUENCY
1
a : a body of citizens entitled to elect a representative (as to a legislative or executive position) b : the residents in an electoral district c : an electoral district
Funny... not about race... it's not a race that elects or that is selectively chosen to elect a leader
There should be no black politics, like there should be no white politics or aboriginal politics or eskimo politics or whatever other race you wish to inject
the basshole is continually and completely about the racism he holds on to dearly
If you can't figure out that ANY body of voters with similar interests comprise a constituency .. can't help you. Your definition doesn't say anything about women or gays either, but they comprise an important demographic constituency.
Not sure what theoretical world you live in, but in THIS country race matters.Just as EVERY constiutuency has an agenda, so do African-Americans .. and it's different than your agenda.
There is NOTHING racist in his post just right-wingers who believe that only they get to set an agenda and ANYTHING uniquely black must be "racist."
An absolutely amazing thought coming from the historically insane right-wing which has little to ZERO basis or credibility for determing what is racist.

The basshole is notoriously racist... and we all know exactly why the racist posted what he did...
And those who want race kept out of the equation are the racist ones?? Get a grip and a sense of reality

The fact that you use the term "black politics" IS the problem. The insane demanding of colorblindness, then demanding that I acknowledge that you are black and you have your own politics that satisfies a need you have that I don't.
Scary shit man.

Who in the fuck wants to see a "color-blind" society? I SURE AS HELL DON'T.
Not even slightly interested in a society that pretends not to see the race or gender of another person. Not looking for tolerence, looking for diversity. BIG difference.
Black politics are neccessary in a country where we've existed for nearly FOUR-HUNDRED YEARS but have only been RELATIVELY free for about FORTY-FIVE YEARS.
Don't understand .. that's ok .. it's expected.

Whites only talk that "colorblind" talk when they don't want or feel that issues addressing people of color should be heard when the reality is we don't live in a colorblind society and when things like unemployment, poverty and poor schools predominately affect blacks at a far higher rate, its dumb to play the "colorblind" card, otherwise the issues wouldn't get addressed properly.
I started this thread and posted that link because not too long ago Obama said this:
“I can’t pass laws that say I’m just helping black folks. I’m the president of the United States. What I can do is make sure that I am passing laws that help all people, particularly those who are most vulnerable and most in need. That in turn is going to help lift up the African-American community.”
That being the case, why shouldn't blacks examine whether the that tax deal was the best thing for us? We have every right to question it.
Obama only cares if it's a good deal for him.
It's All About Him.

Exactly when do we no longer use the term "black politics"?
What is the benchmark where it would be inappropriate just as "asian politics" would be considered inappropriate?

When will whites stop pretending that "white politics" is nonexistent just because no one is specifically calling it by that name? Whites complain about Black Entertainment Television because of the name but ignore that white entertainment television exists in all but name.

Does the entire African American Community need lifting up?

I see that as a diversion.
You did not answer the question....you simply inferred that all whites are racists and blacks have the right to be racists to.
That disgusts me.

You completely missed my point, my point is that blacks should hold Obama's feet to the fire just like any other president and he said he could pass laws that though intended for all would help black people, well I see no problem with blacks questioning and evaluating whether those passed laws are helping blacks.

I didn't infer anything, I just exposed the "colorblind" stance that some whites are taking in this thread as a farce because they believe that color specific politics is only a thing that non-whites do.

I agree that Bass' is not a racist post...
But as a conservaitve, I must also point out that whereas you say that the right has zero credibility for determining what a racist is....do you blame us? We have been called racist for just about everything and anything we belkieve in.
It DOES get confusing to us. Perhpas if the word "racist" wasnt applied to just about anything, it would be easier to determine what truly IS racist.
