You're alright with me. I like your candor. But I've already said more than I should with you in respect to this topic.

I see a ton of posts calling West a fool, crazy, etc. but zero response to my post #33 where I offered a justification for West's statement. Why is it that the left is only able to name-call, and unable to respond to substance?

I don't know maaaaan. My life has been pretty charmed up to this point. If this is slavery, then everyone ought to sign up for it. If its a bill of goods, then everyone should buy it.

Let's see....good parents, live in a great place, gorgeous wife, smart kid, good job, a few nickels in the bank, fairly nice home, well traveled....life is good.

A toast to slavery, shall we?

What, you think you have some special intra black connection because of the amount of pigment in your skin. You don't. Allan West is telling the blacks just how it is and the majority of blacks fight never to hear it.

Keep the ghettos and the drugs and the welfare checks and the drive by shootings.. the dems did nothing but harm to the black family. Throwing money though programs don't work. Maybe someday the blacks will wise up and realize how the dems keep them in the ghettos and give the cry of racism power to get the free food as if that is the miserable payment for being black. Instead of creating like the rest of society, the blacks lay back and collect the Obama money and keep voting for the dems . It is getting sick and the black preachers are sick of it too!!

It's your opinion shared by a number of right wing websites. No credible source supports the claim.

West is the perfect Tea Party candidate: A self-loathing black man who likes to attack his fellow blacks. This man has no dignity nor self respect, just regret that he was born black.

That couldn't be any farther from the truth.

And you still pick a man with no character for president. No sense.
