You and I both know there is no faste...Chauncey: <br /><br /><br />You and I both know there is no faster promotional mechanism of upward mobility in the post-Clarance Thomas era available to blacks than the conservative wing of the republican party. This is the most potent form of affirmative action known in the U.S....Period. <br /><br />The party will take you from relative obscurity locally to a household name on the national stage in the blink of an eye--all for towing the party line. <br /><br />The Republicans can take mediocre, unheralded academics, middling jurists and unknown pundits and make them superstars. They have even co-opted blacks who were stars in their own right, excelling in their chosen fields before they were "discovered" by the Conservatives. (I'll let you judge who among them were "made" before they were "discovered"). Here's a short list, going back about 30 years:<br /><br /><br />Colin Powell<br />Clarence Thomas<br />Shelby Steele<br />Thomas Sowell<br />Alan Keyes<br />Armstrong Williams<br />Larry Elder<br />J.C. Watts<br />Condolezza Rice<br />Michael Steele<br />Herman Cain <br />Ken Blackwell<br />Allen West<br />Tim Scott<br /><br />The irony here is that several of these people listed have very strong academic credentials, advanced degrees, and the like (could any tell you who the "talented tenth" are? Maybe a couple. Do any give a damn? That's for another discussion.). All would likely be the first to tell you they'd rather been judged by the "Content of Their Character" evident by their achievements, rather than grouped simply on the basis of race. They must say this to truly fulfill their role, to validate their own achievements. <br /><br />These folks will be the first to tell you they are iconoclasts who don't subscribe to group think, and that they have transcended the "outmoded" concept of race--and placed duty ahead of racial politics. Some have even disavowed their former paymasters, with the perspective of hindsight. <br /><br />The irony here is that they all were held out as exemplary negroes by their party, object lessons in bootstrappingness for us all to cherish; these were the enlightened ones. These were the ones on the fast track to that elusive goal of "success". <br /><br /><br />The pipeline is filling, and the spigot allowing these "forward thinking" blacks advancement is now wide open, given the racial politics of today (see Dr. Ben Carson--in January, for most, it would be "who is he"?). <br /><br /><br />These folks serve a very important purpose, perhaps the most: They deflect charges of race baiting and discriminatory practices within the republican party, and they and their ilk will be the trojan horses of rampant privatization. <br /><br /><br />I believe there will be more and more of these types coming--at a faster rate, and on varied media outlets, and that you'll see them in areas where racial politics tend divided by black/white, instead of where they are black/white/and increasingly brown.Dubious Brotherhttp://twitter.com/DubiousBrothanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-88987404841192498652013-03-16T20:43:01.806-05:002013-03-16T20:43:01.806-05:00�Before start writing test cases, become familiar ...�Before start writing test cases, become familiar with the (AUT) Application Under Test.<br />Make a list of all the books you would like to read.<br />In this 398-page, these authors study the psycho-social aspects of different types of jobs in various industries.<br /><br /><br /><br />Also visit my blog post :: <a href="http://www.linuxvpnrouter.com/tiki-index.php?page=UserPageleannemcl" rel="nofollow">sach hay</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-15753837933492234592013-03-16T12:56:20.802-05:002013-03-16T12:56:20.802-05:00Remember, the slave drivers on the plantation were...Remember, the slave drivers on the plantation were black.

His father raped his mother. I would not see that as a rational explanation for an interracial relationship. He also praised his father's wife and seemed more amenable to her situation than the black women who were brutalized around him everyday.

Carl Smith is delusional and has an bloated sense of self if he thinks a mere off-camera conversation is going to make this poor victimized white man no longer wish he was back in slavery or voting in Africa. Did you see the response he gave? He was more upset that at some woman asking how many black women were there than at the man who him to thank his ancestors for food and clothing. WTF! That has to be some sort of mental illness manifesting in black conservatives. A sort of brain-washing that erases all triggers of self-respect. By far they are the most perplexing of the two groups. It's been too much and too blatant, as of late, to feel good about belonging to the party as a whole.

Carl Smith, the panelist from Fredrick Douglass Republicans, released a statement following the media storm related to the racist outburst in his panel. Astonishingly, he reserves the brunt of his criticism for the female reporter who raised objections to the comments being made in the room:<br /><br />I was invited by the Tea Party Patriots to conduct a breakout session entitled: “Trump The Race Card” and share the Frederick Douglass Republican Message. In the middle of my delivery, while discussing the 1848 “Women’s Rights Convention,” I was rudely interrupted by a woman working for the Voice of Russia. She abruptly asked me: “How many black women were there?” This question was intentionally disruptive and coercive with no way of creating a positive dialogue.<br /><br />In addition, a young man who wasn’t a Tea Party Patriot, made some racially insensitive comments, he said: 'Blacks should be happy that the slave master gave them shelter, clothing, and food.' At the conclusion of the breakout session, I further explained to him the Frederick Douglass Republican Message which he embraced, bought a book, and we left as friends."<br /><br />Just love the random use of the term "coercive" for the reporter asking about black women's role in early feminism - I suppose we don't have to wonder why he doesn't call himself an Ida B. Wells Republican. I can only wish that "further explained to him the Frederick Douglass Republican Message" is a synonym for "kicked his ass for 2 hours like Douglass did to Covey" though.!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-44428258347522569442013-03-16T02:42:42.327-05:002013-03-16T02:42:42.327-05:00The racism of the Tea Party GOP is not a dog-whist...<i>The racism of the Tea Party GOP is not a dog-whistle.
