But I wouldn't call them leaders of the African-American community, that is certain.<br /><br />Clarence Thomas might (or might not) consider himself part of the community, but the community doesn't consider him a part of them, I'm sure of that.Inane Ramblerhttps://twitter.com/UnendImprovnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-2943785104680834072013-06-14T14:07:22.727-04:002013-06-14T14:07:22.727-04:00African-Americans have sold their soul to the Demo...African-Americans have sold their soul to the Democrat Party, and they deserve every second of getting screwed in the ass by the Democrats that they get.<br /><br />The few African-Americans who tell the Democrats to fuck off are certainly not the ones that are going to lose out to amnesty, while the ones who slavishly follow the Democrat Party line are the ones who fully support the government leviathan, and a large portion of that group is going to feel the competition from amnesty.Inane Ramblerhttps://twitter.com/UnendImprovnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-13366006891768212462013-06-09T10:33:03.478-04:002013-06-09T10:33:03.478-04:00Beautifully said.

This essay is an enormous contribution to the serious discussion of saving and reclaiming our culture.<br /><br />I'd like to offer an additional perspective on these closing lines:<br /><br />"The only way this will change is if the black community makes the decision to reclaim its history and its interests from parties and political organizations."<br /><br />Although I think this is quite true, in a sense, I think perhaps one might also question the premise that there is or ought to be a black community that has interests to reclaim. The people I see as leaders of what might be called a black community are also part of what I consider to be my community: Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Stephen L. Carter, Shelby Steele... I don't know whether these people would identify themselves as part of a black community or what they would see as its interests. I guess there are communities within communities.<br /><br />I always thought growing up that the reason for raising our consciousness, if you will, about racism, was to get to the point where we really do relate to one another based on the content of our character rather than the color of our skin. And I guess I imagined that this would make us all one community. I never considered the possibility that society would reject the concept of character altogether and embrace racism.<br /><br />But then I never imagined people would relate to one another based on the color of their political affiliation, either, as if we are two tribes. <br /><br />So sorry you are spending time in hospitals, Daniel. May you find strength and solace during this difficult time.Sarah Rolphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669736522880904119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-90334972168853110392013-06-09T09:02:28.502-04:002013-06-09T09:02:28.502-04:00When soon the Latino minority far far outstrips th...When soon the Latino minority far far outstrips the African American minority in size, wealth, political clout, and our President is a primarily Spanish speaking son of illegal aliens it will be interesting to see who the African American community blames for their stagnation. Will it be the Whites? The Latinos? The Jews? Anyone but them I imagine.Empress Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073538968722986065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-73379296200791728312013-06-08T19:28:18.268-04:002013-06-08T19:28:18.268-04:00The worst thing the Demorat Party has done to the ...The worst thing the Demorat Party has done to the blacks is to destroy whatever work ethic they had. Today, an inner city black feels "entitled", and expecting him to go to work every day, is unreasonable. Mexicans, as a rule, are grateful for work, dependable, and generally honest; they'll have no trouble finding work.<br />For the same reason, Union shops will find they are getting less work. Today, Unions are privileged groups, politically, and that will prove a disadvantage when the pendulum swings back.<br />DenisDenisOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-28101829160010931132013-06-08T14:01:28.034-04:002013-06-08T14:01:28.034-04:00The Black race will reclaim itself about the same ...The Black race will reclaim itself about the same time Alex Trebek will hear: Alex, I would like Caucasian Authors for 500.

The media lead this charge in order to control the narrative and the political landscape. They have been pushing buttons of conservatives (I think) in hopes that they can woo just one conservative to do something really stupid and forever crush their opposition. Well, the eunuchs are too impotent to be loyal opposition, so ironically THEY gave BIRTH to the Tea Party who was (absent ANY valid proof) immediately labeled - wait for it - RACISTS! We (conservatives) can't win this argument or elections unless we do one thing: Turn out more "racists" than they do cheaters.Tim Michaelhttp://www.timmichael.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-32429126876401822932013-06-07T18:35:01.496-04:002013-06-07T18:35:01.496-04:00"you might think that it would be impossible ..."you might think that it would be impossible to run an entire cable news network around accusing people of racism" <br /><br />And so it has proven to be, their ratings are in the caca recepticle. <br /><br />"The only way this will change is if the black community makes the decision to reclaim its history and its interests from parties and political organizations." <br /><br />The black community would rather be a pawn than an imagined second class citizen.
