Once again the tortuous logic of Republican bending the meaning of hate crimes and racism to such a point that they have absolutely no lexicological meaning.

Anyway...

Considering the epithets hurled at folks like Obama, Jessie Jackson, and Al Sharpton, conservatives really shouldn't be looking for pity parties.
LMAO....funny how they care so much about black people so long as they have an R after their names. But any ordinary black person couldn't get the time of day from these folks.

What kills me is how they know so much about how the black community thinks about this or that....as if we run up to white people and tell them how we hate black Republicans.

They don't know...anything to deflect from the real issues. Black Republicans don't even cross my mind until I see threads like this or silly ads. It's okay for them to victimize themselves but when true racism or bigotry happens right in their faces, they call the REAL victims whiners or turn a blind eye to it.

Of course they don't know...and they don't actually care either.

Most of these posters know a grand total of 2 black people TOPS!! But they wanna come on here and pretend as if they know what black folks are feeling on any given topic.

Black folks don't even think about black Republicans. And when we do, it's likely to be around election time or something like that. 9 outta 10 black people couldn't tell you who Thomas Sowell is. I'd bet that 8 outta 10 black folks don't know who Jesse Lee Peterson or Clarence Thomas are either. We're just as disconnected from politics as every other race in this country.

People have got to stop thinking that the rest of the country gets into politics just because they do.

Black conservatives are a race?

Are those who you allege act in a racist and prejudicial manner towards black conservatives, all love and spice to white conservatives, or do they generally hold all conservatives in some degree of contempt?

This argument about black conservatives is a complete charade because there is no firm definition of who or what constitutes a black conservative. Politics in the African American community isn't just based upon party affiliation.

You would be better off arguing whether or not black republicans are treated unfairly, and even then, it would depend on what particular stances they take on any particular issue. Senator Edward Brooke, a Republican who served in the U.S. Senate from 1967 to 1979 has and is highly regarded in the African American community. Bill Cosby, when it comes to many issue regarding education, welfare and other social issues is a conservative, despite the fact that he is a registered Democrat, and despite several controversial statements which ran against the grain of "liberal orthodoxy" is still highly regarded in the Africa American community.

Being a conservative isn't enough to be disrespected by the African American community, you have to advance policies which the community deems counter to its interest.

Sorry that life is a bit more complicated than your cookie cutter hopes and dreams.

Man...

A lot of your comments seem to be based on a theory that Black America is like some lost Brazilian tribe or something.

Unless you are a cultural anthropologist with a PhD in "African-America" there is NO WAY that a white person could know ANYTHING about black culture.

Let me put it to you this way...

My American brothers and sisters of recent African ancestry aren't exactly the quietest wallflowers when it comes to offering their opinions about black America and current events.

I could not say this for sure, without actual knowing and having proof. What i do know for sure, is that there is enough hatred to go round on both sides and from both party's neither one comes guilt-free and both have done things that spark hate. That is something that does go aginst my grain, i hate it, that there is hatred on both sides, cause hate does not solve problems, only makes matters worse.
