In order to make a rational argument, you need to have a rational audience.

Of course, he's not allowed to vote since he is a felon (stupid law if you ask me). However, he has donated large sums of money to Republican candidates over the ears, including Mitt Romney in the last presidential election.

Just thought you might wanna know that.
OT. This was under reported in the press but the Pew and Gallup polls showed that young black men were more likely than other Blacks to vote for Romney. Pew had 1 out of 5 black men between ages of 18-29 voting Romney. Probably on the high end but Gallup showed something similar.

I would say to Mr. West not to waste his energies fretting over gays being escorted around blacks. The real issue is the desperation of of the Black Condition that leads to the the inevitably failed course of coalition building.

Lets see, blacks have tried coalition building with white women, unions, poor whites, other minorities, and in recent time, gays. But at the end of the day, other minorities, including Hispanics, can become "honorary whites", as they say. Blacks are always going to be in the back of the bus. And maybe SCOUTUS (the conservative activists that they are) have something simmering in the pot...how about some coalition busting.

Yeah, and "beaner" simply means they eat lots of beans.

True. But how about addressing the major points? I tend to think its because they can't answer them and respond to what they can, which is usually with a question.

Aside from the Bubbas that don't have any real power, who get dog-whistled during election season (classic example: Reagan using the term "states rights" at the Mississippi State Fair), the GOP isn't racist. At least not in that old fashioned kind of way.

They just don't give a s**t.

People do not realize that the gay culture is attempting to take a position as the respected new sophisticated elite in society. There is a gay business man I spoke to regarding moving some things...He said that his employee would take care of it....quote "Don't worry - I will have my BOY take care of it" His boy was black...What makes people think that gays are all saints and civilized...This other gay fellow does not like it when woman and children come into his shop..."They have dirty hand and they will soil my merchandise .....who would have thought that the gay rights movement would go over board if given the opportunity?

No worse than Christians would behave if given the opportunity.

Many blacks may have voted for Obama but most i know who did so also oppose this support for gays by Obama and the dem party. Unless the democrats nominate another black guy i think blacks in general will stay home again which may cost the dems the WH in 2016. Alot of them voting for him did so more so for the historical value then anything. Thus it wasn't about just getting free handouts either as some on the right ( neocons for the most part and uneducated far right social conservatives ) voters would have people believe.
