I had the opportunity to work with quite a few Black employees as a sales manager in MS. My star was a Black guy working in a small town, his wife was a teacher. We became friends and I asked how he was treated in his community. He told me he and his wife were more accepted by the White community as they experienced resentment from many in the Black community for their success. He showed me a picture of himself as a child with his father who was a sharecropper. this man is a real success story of what our country offers for those who seek success.

Very good article

Quote... victimization was not a fact of black life, it was the fact. It was a totalism—an ultratruth that not only supersedes but that makes a taboo of all other truths. My lower ranking of racism as a barrier violated this taboo, put me at odds with black group authority, and made me, alas, a "black conservative." - Shelby Steele

This is very true, sort of how the "ultratruth" of the left that free market is slavery makes all economic facts taboo.

Edit:
Quote"But isn't it really about power? And if victimization brings power, it's the power that counts." She surprised me. I hadn't realized she was even listening. "I mean, you could say that whites got power by killing the Indians and enslaving the blacks. That's worse than using your history of victimization to get power. People get power all sorts of ways."

Hehe that women he was talking too gets it, just like Al Sharpton, Obama, Eric Holder and all the other race Hustlers get it, and all socialists have got it throughout history. They don't care about blacks as a people's with real Institutional problems that needs to addressed, they only care about Power, and blacks poverty is a very powerfull tool when channeled into political Power for your own internal clan wealth and benefit.

Exactly right. If the race industry succeeds in moving folks out of poverty that put themselves out of business.

yeah  :lol: haha

You know its sort of like South Africa, people thought here comes the commie black ANC into power, finally blacks will be equal, wealth and opportunity will be a level playing field, all black people are now free.

And whoopdifucking doo, or how you say it, the ANC started to oppress other blacks and the ANC procure wealth only for themselves at the expense of all other black people, so much for ethnic solidarity  :lol:

Dori

Republicans should do more to promote our conservative black leaders, thinkers, writers.  I don't think they get enough exposure.  We have a lot of good ones too.



The danger to America is not Barack Obama but the citizens capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.
