Fact remains (and you didn't dispute it because you know i'm right), i can roll in places that you neither won't or can't roll. I talk with people that tell me things that they wouldn't tell you. What information you can give on black community thought is halfass and informed ONLY through the few black associations you have, rumours, books, movies, TV, or talk radio. The firsthand info that one should have without talking out of a body orifice is info that you simply can't obtain without being in the community yourself.

Now if you wanna be all butthurt because for the first time in your life, you're being told this stuff, i'm sorry. But that's just the way it is. I wouldn't go around saying that this group or that group thinks a certain way if i wasn't a part of that group. I'm not THAT arrogant. I don't presume to know what communities that i'm locked out of happen to think on any given topic. I form opinions based on the little info i might have, but i know that i'm an outsider, and i act accordingly. But i certainly wouldn't use that "little info" and pretend to know more about that group than i actually know.
Again, with the places where I "can't roll".

You gonna tell me what black people would do to me if I went to those places?

Because until you clear it up I just have to assume violence.

Proof that you simply don't know. We aint thinkin' about you dude.

Again, why violence? You think that you're important enough for someone to risk going to jail for?

History shows that during the 1960's Democrats used racist slurs and brutality against
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a Republican until the day he died, and other nonviolent activists who were trying to stop the Democrats from denying civil rights to black Americans. Today, Democrats are using similar reprehensible tactics against conservatives and Republicans, especially black Republicans, who are trying to stop the Democrats from stripping civil liberties from all Americans.


]While claiming to be racially sensitive, Democrats use racist invectives to denigrate black Republicans, demeaning them as "sellouts", "Uncle Toms", "House Negroes", "House N-word", or worse.
The list of black Republicans attacked by Democrats is long and includes RNC Chairman Michael Steel, Dr. Condoleezza Rice, General Colin Powell and Justice Clarence Thomas.
On the left-wing Internet website called "The News Blog," Democrats posted a doctored photograph of RNC Chairman Michael Steele while he was the Lt. Governor of Maryland and running for a Senate seat.
]Democrats depicted Steele as a "Simple Sambo" with a blackened minstrel-style face, nappy hair and big, think red lips. The cartoon caption read: "Simple Sambo wants to move to the big house".

Yes the Dixie Democrats did not want blacks to vote but later on the Dixie Democrats became Republicans I remember Condi Rice talking about her father and why they became Republicans she is one smart lady

You want to claim Dr. King, but not what he stood for.

Where Do We Go From Here?

I want to say to you as I move to my conclusion, as we talk about "Where do we go from here?" that we must honestly face the fact that the movement must address itself to the question of restructuring the whole of American society. There are forty million poor people here, and one day we must ask the question, "Why are there forty million poor people in America?" And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising a question about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I'm simply saying that more and more, we've got to begin to ask questions about the whole society. We are called upon to help the discouraged beggars in life's marketplace. But one day we must come to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. It means that questions must be raised. And you see, my friends, when you deal with this you begin to ask the question, "Who owns the oil?" You begin to ask the question, "Who owns the iron ore?" You begin to ask the question, "Why is it that people have to pay water bills in a world that's two-thirds water?" These are words that must be said. Now, don't think you have me in a bind today. I'm not talking about communism. What I'm talking about is far beyond communism... What I'm saying to you this morning is communism forgets that life is individual. Capitalism forgets that life is social. And the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism, but in a higher synthesis. It is found in a higher synthesis that combines the truths of both. Now, when I say questioning the whole society, it means ultimately coming to see that the problem of racism, the problem of economic exploitation, and the problem of war are all tied together. These are the triple evils that are interrelated.

Where does the bases for this assumption come from?
