I would be the wolf.

Anyway, I pulled that quote from memory from his autobiography. Naturally, the quote is from over forty years ago and Malcolm X was justifiably angry when he said it.

Thing is, conservatives have for the most part had a change of heart. Liberals are still the foxes they’ve always been, only now it’s affirmative action, victim mentality, and class warfare instead of Jim Crowe.

Keep your eye on the ball and make sure no one takes it away from you.

Dem people knows ya aint goin to win the game if you aint got no balls.

So blacks are still supporting the democrat party beause…? It’s like blind-folded sheep being led to the slaughter. Baaaaa! Baaaa! Baaaa!

On a slightly better note, I truly believe the tide is starting to recede as more and more blacks realize what the democrat party’s policies have done to the black family.

Conservatives in America say “keep the n&%^*(s in their place,” they are like wolves, with them you know they hate you and you know where they stand. Liberals in America say “keep the knee-grows in their place, but treat them a little better, throw them a few tokens,” they are like a fox; they will trick you into believing they care and by the time you figure it out you will be half-digested. ~Malcolm X (possibly misquoted a little, but the idea is there)

Aw, come on tRC.

I don’t think the Hispanic guy was saying that Hispanics won’t vote for a black. I really don’t. The stories earlier this week, before all the racism crap came out, were all about Hillary doing campaign stops in heavily Hispanic areas around Las Vegas, and the huge amount of support that she had there, people running out of their houses to see her, etc.

I think this guy was just questionning why anyone would assume Obama will get all the votes of the Culinary union members, just because the leadership threw him the endorsement. We’ve asked the same question of blue collar union workers every four years; many vote Republican despite the knee-jerk union support of lib Dems.

We shouldn’t assume racism without a good reason.

Yeah, blacks are more homophobic than any group of people. They also tend to be pretty racist against Latinos and vice-versa (Latinos tend to be pretty racist against blacks).

White people in this country are so busy apologizing that we don’t really have time to be racist. . . but ‘white racism’ makes such good TV. . . right Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson?

Gang warfare does that to people.

You guys are pretty good. You rock so hard that I want to make a donation. Just tell me what size?

the teachers are suing, claiming that the sites are illegal.

But how many of the culinary union workers themselves are illegal?

Am I the only one who believes we can’t blame this on the Clintons?

No you’re not.

So the big turd floating in the air was that Hispanics would not vote for a black guy. The man who said this wouldn’t come out and say it after Luntz pressed him and that is why the black woman said she wanted to hear his explanation. Very ugly racial stuff. If Hillary is doing this on purpose she is playing with fire.

This election is simply shining the light on America’s putrid underbelly.

The sentence before he said a large percentage of the culinary workers were Hispanic. So the big turd floating in the air was that Hispanics would not vote for a black guy. The man who said this wouldn’t come out and say it after Luntz pressed him and that is why the black woman said she wanted to hear his explanation. Very ugly racial stuff.

Bill Clinton put black people in a stained blue dress? Wow, he’s worse than I thought.

BKennedy on January 16, 2008 at 3:26 PM

No it’s much worse than you thought. Blacks people were i the blue dress and Bill “stained” it. EEwwwwwww.

Now that’s a sticky accusation.

ErikTheRed on January 16, 2008 at 3:23 PM

Bill Clinton put black people in a stained blue dress? Wow, he’s worse than I thought.

Some argue that blacks should vote for Clinton “because her husband was good to us,” he continued.

“That’s not true,” he thundered. “He did the same thing to us that he did to Monica Lewinsky.”

Now that’s a sticky accusation.

I am starting to pine for the more quaint, rustic, mellower days of AlBore and John Vietnam Kerry.

Spanish & Ebonics. It would have to be something like ‘Sponics’.

Sponicish?

One of things that does amuse me about the focus groups is how different the Democratic groups are from the Republican. For the most part, the Republican groups discuss their perception of the candidates stances on the issues or their ability to lead. The Democrats talk about how the candidate makes them feel with almost no discussion of issues. I guess when there isn’t any policy difference among your candidates, the only thing left to discuss is feelings and race/gender issues.
