I get it. Don't do as you do....do as you say.
How did I read Patterson's mind?

It doesn't make sense to assert a black man bashes black people in a general sense.

He criticizes liberals. Not every liberal is black.

It does not have to make sense to be true. Truth is often stranger than fiction.

Being a Black Republican doesn't make someone a conservative race hustler. It is about mentality and the things a person says and does.
You didn't answer about the other ones I listed. Steele and Sowell are particularly vocal on racial and political issues.

The truth is you are a leftwinger who doesn't like black conservatives so you demonize them.

Did you just read my mind? How ironic.

That's not reading your mind. Based on what you said, you dont' like black conservatives.

You don't know most white conservatives so how could you make a inference on their beliefs about 'black leaders'. You have to talk to people to get an idea of what they believe. I am talking to you.

I think most white conservatives would not know who you mean when you say black leaders. I think Obama is about the only person who could be described as a black leader but he no longer has political power.

So you agree! And yes people general do look out for their own group/tribe but at the expense of truth and facts. Tribe first facts not so much.

Like I said, you don't have to be special to be a darling on the left, you just need to be loud.

Its called the laws of supply and demand my friend. Its hard to rise to the top in a field with many competitors.....and easier to rise in a field with fewer competitors. Its just like a job opening. If their is a job opening and you are one of 1,000 people who applied....you are going to have something special to standout among the rest. If you are one of 10 people applying....you don't have to stand out as much.

If I said it then you would have quoted it. You did not quote it because I never said it.....but I thought it and you read my mind supposedly.

Reading minds means you make assertions about what people believe without talking to them or even knowing their names or hearing them make some public statement or seeing them take a public action that supports your assertion.
