1. In John Connolly's novel "The Reapers," the protagonist, a black man, meditates on the sort of music he enjoys, Country and Western, and that most blacks can't seem to favor this genre.\
"...Country and Western, .... the black experience in country music. Louis found it hard to understand why so many others of his race failed to connect with this music: it spoke of rural poverty, of love, of despair, of faithfulness and infidelity, and these were experiences known to all men, black as well as white.
Just as poor black people had more in common with poor whites than with wealthy blacks, so too this music offered a means of expression to those who had endured all of the trauma and sadness with which it dealt, regardless of color. Nevertheless, he had resigned himself to being in a minority as far as this belief was concerned,...."
".... poor black people had more in common with poor whites than with wealthy blacks,..."
Interesting perception?
2. Now....those blacks who have been infected by the disease called Liberalism....well, then skin color is the be-all and end-all.
You can see that attitude in several members of this very board.
3. How does it show up in Liberal-indoctrinated blacks?
Well....here's a quote.....see if you know who said this:
[He carried ]"…an old clipping of a quote from Harlem preacher Reverend Samuel D. Proctor. .... put the clipping in his wallet in 1971, when he was studying history at Columbia University, and kept it in wallet after wallet over the ensuing decades.
What were Proctor’s words that [he] found so compelling?
“Blackness is another issue entirely apart from class in America. No matter how affluent, educated and mobile [a black person] becomes, his race defines him more particularly than anything else.”
…When asked to explain the passage, [he] replied, “It really says that… I am not the tall (accomplished and successful professional), I am not the thin (accomplished and successful professional). I am the black (accomplished and successful professional).
And he was saying that no matter how successful you are, there’s a common cause that bonds the black (lawyer, doctor, etc.) with the black criminal or the black doctor/lawyer/whatever with the black homeless person.”…It may seem shocking to hear these racialist views ascribed to America’s top (accomplished and successful professional). But to people who have worked (with him,) these attitudes are perfectly familiar."
"...a common cause that bonds the black (lawyer, doctor, etc.) with the black criminal..."
4. Skin color....all that matters.
For this über-Liberal, lawyer, doctor, whatever....it is exactly the same as being a mugger or a drug dealer.
Sick, huh?
So.....who is the black successful professional who cannot see any further than race?
Take a guess.
I'll tell you in moment.....
I have a question. Since you have an affinity for associating Black people(in general) with "liberalism"and often pontificate on the condition and personal preferences of the Black population (in general) with cut and paste threads, quoting Thomas Sowell among others, what is your opinion on the shift of Asian voters from Republican to Democrat?
Of course I am assuming like many here that you see Democrats as "liberals" and Republicans as "conservatives".
And since you happen to be Asian (I recall several here saying that you are) I thought that you may have some insight into the voting patterns of your own demographic.
Or, I could just start a thread titled:
"There are Asian folks, then there are folks who are Asian"
How Asian Americans Became Democrats
1. " Since you have an affinity for associating Black people(in general) with "liberalism"...
As you are hinting that I would be wrong in observing that relationship, one is led to believe that your entire post may be wrong.
And, as you are attempting to change the subject of the thread....you recognize, from the start, that you are sensitive about the truth that I provide.
The actual subject being explored is this:
Skin color....all that matters.
For this über-Liberal, lawyer, doctor, whatever....it is exactly the same as being a mugger or a drug dealer.
Sick, huh?
So.....who is the black successful professional who cannot see any further than race?
Now....why do you fear that exposition?
2. "...with cut and paste threads,..."
'Cut and paste' is a method of presentation. It is a well recognized and well accepted method on the college level, and has no bearing on the accuracy or truth of one's position.
The obvious...and correct ....conclusion is that you're attempting to combat my well-constructed posts with an assumed smear....but you don't know why is should be considered a smear....
...you're simply a fool with no concrete answer to the posts you hate....so you throw out a cliché you've heard, and hope it works.
Seems not to.
3. Care to consider the question being asked in the thread, rather than trying to avoid it?
Is Eric Holder correct in stating
that skin color is all that counts: "...
there’s a common cause that bonds the black United States attorney with the black criminal or the black doctor with the black homeless person.”
In short....are you a racist, too?
4. "...quoting Thomas Sowell..."
Are you suggesting a pejorative attached to Dr. Sowell?
5. "...I am assuming like many here that you see Democrats as "liberals" and Republicans as "conservatives".
I don't care to change the subject.
6. "And since you happen to be Asian (I recall several here saying that you are) I thought that you may have some insight into the voting patterns of your own demographic.
Or, I could just start a thread titled:
"There are Asian folks, then there are folks who are Asian"
a. Please go right ahead and start any thread you like....I'm not only not offended, I thrive on debate and discussion....that's why you are invited here.
b. Why would you consider "There are black folks, and there are folks who are black" defamatory....unless you are offended to have it made clear that not all blacks think alike.
Unless like most Liberals, you cannot abide a difference of opinion.
I quote the icons of Feminism/Liberalism,...
... according to Simone de Beauvoir in an interview with Betty Friedan is
“No woman should be authorized to stay at home and raise her children. Society should be totally different. Women should not have that choice precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one.” “Sex, Society, and the Female Dilemma,” Saturday Review, June 14, 1975, p. 18.
a. Like all totalitarian movements, the goal is not to give more freedom, but to take away choice.
Eric Holder's....and your.....doctrine for blacks, huh?
How'd you like that use of 'Cut and Paste'?
