LMAO...There's no end to it.

Obama is responsible for Honduras being a dump. The same dump it's been since long before he was born.

It's not nonsense. The income gap is widest and school segregation is higher in blue states. Both of those disproportionately negatively impact minorities. Why is that okay with Democrats?

Uncle Tom? Yep. If they stop Tomming, they won't get called Toms. Simple.
How very internecine of you.

Your premise is that there's a Black way to act and vote? That's racist.

Even his own party questioned his involvement......there just wasn't much on the news.

That's what I wanna know.

The obsequious and servile fawning from conservatives about everything Sowell says is amazing. There can't be another black man in human history with more lip marks on his patootie than Thomas Sowell.

The guy can step out of his house to sneeze, and there'd be 5000 conservatives on his doorstep panting and sighing about what a great ha-choo that was.

Do you consider Sowell an "Uncle Tom" because he doesn't act Black enough for you?

What's with this "negatively impact minorities" stuff? Are you gonna keep up this feigned concern for minorities foolishness?

And I don't care about the blue state argument. Why is school segregation important in 2014?

And no...there is no premise about a "Black way to act." That's nonsense.

There is however an obligation to represent the race properly. That has nothing to do with politics.

J.C. Watts represents the race quite well. So does Michael Steele. Being conservative has nothing to do with it.

It has to do with behavior...which is why Allen West and Clarence Thomas are UT's.

Anyway, this thread isn't about that, is it?

Does it matter to you whether I do or not?

Black majority schools have lower test scores. Black workers are disproportionately negatively impacted by wider income gaps.

Is that why Blacks vote Democrat? Blacks don't care that they're the most oppressed, comparatively, in blue states? Blacks actually want to be oppressed, and vote for it? That's really odd...

You just contradicted yourself.

No...I didn't.

Nowhere did I say that there was a "Black way to act." Those are your words. Silly words at that.

There is however a proper way for a man to carry himself. The two clowns I mentioned don't measure up.

Now back to this oppression nonsense..

Whoever told you that blacks are oppressed? Blacks vote for Democrats because it's the better of the two options. If the other option was better, they'd vote for it.

If black schools have lower test scores, then they need to address that by working harder in school to improve them. If black workers are badly affected by the income gap, then they have to work harder to close the gap.

But the idea that voting Republican (what you're basically saying by circumlocution) would fix those problems is nonsense. We aren't going to vote for a party that is openly hostile to black people.
