I do see what you're saying, the thing is, is outside of all this rhetoric about black unity & all the other bumper sticker slogans...there is no such thing in our communities, I have never been robbed or shot at by a white man, I have by my "brothers". It is hard for me to feel a strong kinship with people simply because they look like me, especially when outside of my skin color, we share very few principles and live our lives in completely different ways. But I still love my black brothers & sisters, It is almost natural if not actually just that. I don't say what I am saying because I hate being black, no..I say what I say because the black community is in need of tough love rift now. We are abandoning our children, killing & robbing each other, and we support the promotion of the worst elements of our communities. And believe me, I don't think it is one party that has racist elements in it, I just have 1000 times more contempt for the left wing Democratic Party, because they have duped us into believing they care so much while enacting policies that hurt us . I do fear, that if we don't start turning our back on the Democratic Party, the damage will be irreparable. If I had the means to do so, I would encourage black folks to not vote, PERIOD, until we get our own house in order. Jobs not food stamps & section 8 housing. No more help, white liberals...you're help is our downfall.
I'm black, so obviously I am a part of the black group, but more importantly I am an individual. This skin doesn't tell you anything else about me other than my racial background. Unfortunately, I get lumped into the same group as liberal voting blacks because there is hardly any diversity of opinion within the black community. This is a bad thing, not a good thing...to be looked upon as guaranteed votes for the left. And you wonder why democrat controlled cities don't care a wit about what is going on in the black community... Infact they promote all the programs that guarantee the traditional black family, which is the only solution to our communities ills, will ever become cohesive again.
Like I said before, that's where you lost your way. You are an individual only insofar as your group is respected. Its amazing to me that you don't get this. I am sorry you are ashamed to be lumped in with liberal Black people. What is startling is that you really think it makes a difference being Dem or Repub. Racism is not confined to a specific party. What makes a difference is teaching and encouraging Black people to make wise decisions instead of blindly following one party or another.
