Racism is the result of the Democratic Party? Do tell.

[mrbogey]

Ohmigod! Are you saying no Democrat is ever racist?

See what I did there? I asked you to answer a question based upon something you never claimed. I don't believe he said racism is the result of Democrats but for some kooky reason you want him to explain it.

[electorprince]

Not the result, but certainly the perpetuation of.

[sergeantbrother]

I agree. The Democratic party didn't create racism, but they certainly perpetuate it with race baiting. Which stands to reason, since identity politics is one of the major strategies of the Democratic party.

Oh, got you.

Well, until recently, the Democrats had a pretty firm grip on the union vote. And many of the "Reagan Democrats" remained Democrats even after voting for Reagan. The intense hatred and contempt being aimed at Hillary's supporters by Obama's may permanently split the party. Indeed, it might collapse and be replaced by some other party or parties.

Well, I think you're being overly optimistic here, but only time will tell.

[sergeantbrother]

I think that Obama may have more to do with driving whites from the Democratic party than McCain has to do with attracting them. I think that a lot of white America is ready to vote for a black guy, but its going to be hard getting moderate swing voting whites to vote for a black supremacist like Obama; particularly with all of the racial baggage that the Democrat party carries from decades of race baiting and divisiveness.

[rinku]

He's only half black, so I can't imagine how he'd be a black supremacist. A multi-racial supremacist, maybe.

[irked_indeed]

Do you need to be black to be a black supremacist?

I mean, I'm not convinced Obama is one, but it seems like you could theoretically have a white black supremacist. I'm not sure his particular genetic mix disqualifies him.

[rinku]

I guess, but it seems less likely.

[stauros]

I've been wondering for years when the black Democrats will wake up to how they're being used ...

and incidentally, in 1996 this white Anglo-Saxon evangelical conservative cast his Presidential ballot for Alan Keyes (long before Mr. Keyes swerved to the loony far right). I look at principles, not skin.

See Malcolm X's 'Ballot or the Bullet' speech. If I may selectively quote ..

This government has failed us. Our white liberal friends .. have failed us. We need a self-help philosophy.

In parts the man sounds almost libertarian, if not conservative.

[stauros]

He was still searching for solutions when he was murdered. Nobody can say where he would have ended up, either politically or religiously.

On the other hand, W.E.B. Du Bois was calling for a self-help philosophy half a century before Malcolm X, with the "Talented Tenth" leading the way.
