My comment at Essence.com

I thank him for his comments. All the African Americans that are sending him hate mail are just confirmation of the limited scope of African American thinking. Race above all else! Whites are evil! Race determines where you live, who you date, what school you go to, where you go to church. What gets me are the “Christians” that do not bat an eye when voting for a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage candidate. It does not have to be Obama the lionshare of Democrats have that philosphy and they get 90% of the African American vote nationally. (Nevermind the fact that these same people would not vote for a black candidate running as a Republican) The sheer volume of instituionalized cognitive dissonance is astounding. You know what type of black person votes Republican? Educated, or wealthy, or military. So what incentive do Democrats have to make African American more properous, educated, or patriotic? None is the answer you looking for. And hyphenated Americans play right into it. Democrats control education at the city state and federal level, so where’s all their concern and near complete control of educational machinery gotten African Americans? Nowhere! The black people that do well in school are the ones that make the effort. Whining about funding when the Wash DC school district is tied for highest per capita educational spending is foolish. Wake up the Democrats cannot save nor do they want to. You need to stay poor, and defeated, you must feel as if you need them. Overcomers realize that t’wasn’t the goverment that got them where they are it was their on hard work. And the special reward they get is being in a higher tax bracket. It is IMPOSSIBLE to lift a single race against another. IMPOSSIBLE. Did a tax hike on the rich ever put a dime in your pocket? Really it didn’t? Go figure…

I love the one word survey, is he a sellout? What does that mean? Sellout must mean does not view the world through the lens of his skin color and have blind unflinching loyalty to it, and makes politcal choices based on something other than the collective intelligence of the African American zombie hoard. Then yeah he is a sellout.

UNTIL about 2/3 thru the demo primaries when she switched to BHO. I asked her why. She flat out said because he is black. I reminded her of all the emails and trash talk she used to utter about him. Silence. One time I asked her “what ever happened to judging a man by the content of his character and not by the color of his skin”? She went ballistic and started yelling that I had NO right to quote MLK or bring him up. I laughed and asked what was the difference between her voting strictly on the basis of race and me doing the same for McCain, wouldn’t we both be racists? She said that I would be but was silent on herself.

I have similar friend. She makes an effort to act as if she knows his policies and understands the finer points of politics and has come to a rational choice, then reminds me she is a conservative because she supports a flat tax. She has a graduate degree and her latest racial ploy on me is “What would you tell your children if you did not vote for him?”

“I’d tell him the first black man that could have been president did not want to run, then this empty suit with a Kenyan daddy went for it. He son, was a liberal, a pro-gay marriage, fervently pro-abortion liberal. And your father has values that know no skin color.” She tried again.

“You don’t want to be on the wrong side of history!”

“Yes I do.”

I have another female friend she admits she is voting for him because he is black. We do not talk about politics much. When people admit that they are voting for him because he is black what more is there to say? At that point you know the most salient thing in thier life is their skin color. I have three cousins that voted for Bush, twice and they are voting Obama. Sad really I thought they had come so far.

Alas, she gone over to the dark side to be with the Sith Lord.

At least it was a friend, my own relatives have gone over to the dark side. I thought for sure Obama being a tax and spend liberal and socially liberal would have my cousins voting Republican again, boy was I wrong.

Should Obama lose alot of supposedly open minded black people that voted for him are going to feel like crap. Having prostituted what they advertised as their values for a fleeting romance with a guy with a Kenyan father. Those folks will have alot of explaing to do to the people that thought them credible.
