I think black people do not want reparations. But there is the infrequent black person who loudly and bitterly complains about how if they were white they would have gotten into university etc. and I'm not sure if they are for real or not. But for sure those guys don't want reparations because if they did get it, they would have no more right to complain.
...seems amazing that blacks would hate a guy that is black
For the record, I do hate black conservatives, especially Clarence Thomas with a passion for the same reason that you as a white person (assuming you are white) may hate white liberals like Micheal Moore who strongly disagree with your viewpoint of the world. On the other hand, I adore Obama, the same way you adore Reagan because I see him as an inspiration and he tends to share the same political viewpoints as I do.
FYI, black people are individuals who are capable of forming their own opinions just like whites. I think it's even more amazing that you find it amazing that blacks can hate someone of their own race.
I think what hurts blacks is affirmative action and their so called 'black leaders"....never understood that...are 'black leaders elected?"...Sharpton, Jackson etc...also why do blacks hate black conservatives like Thomas Sowell?...seems amazing that blacks would hate a guy that is black, PHD from Harvard, published dozens of books and is very interesting to listen too.
1) The greatest benefactors of Affirmative Action are White women (yet somehow this never seems to bother White people)
2) The "black leaders" are anyone who White people decide as "speaking for" Black people. The average Black American has no idea what Jesse or Al are talking about until White people broadcast it.
3) Many, many Black Americans are quite conservative. However, they are not naive enough to think they would be "embraced" by the Conservative Movement. We have all seen how "they" treat Black conservatives (Michael Steele, Colin Powell) as soon as they break ranks or do not regurgitate the party mantra completely

Excellent comeback calipoppy. You hit the nail on the head not once, not twice, but trice. Post of the day

How ever many of us know that we will always be embraced by the conservative movement, and know how we will be treated by the liberals, for not conforming to how they think we should act and think and behave. We know that with the liberals we will always be judged by the color of our skin and not by our own merits

Right wing attempt at reverse logic would be more funny if it were not so tragic.

reverse logic? What is the matter you can't handle the truth.. just look around these boards on how the liberals call conservative black men every name in the book.. so, is that not showing how they are treated for not thinking or acting the way the liberals believe they should?

Obviously if people are bothered by affirmative action, they are bothered by this as well... You just reinforced the fact that it's not about race.

That pales in comparison to the general racism displayed against the black community from those on the right. When liberals attack black conservatives it is not because of the color of their skin, it is because of their warped ideology. The same can't be said about right wingers who attack blacks.

How does the left treat them?
Like we are second class citizens that cant succeed in life without the rich white mans help
