A Black, Female Conservative: the Dems' worst nightmare?

On the flipside.

These people think it's sad that Bush is using a black person to play race politics.

He's using the color of their skin as a guise to enforce his view of politics.

It's a two way street, dude.

 

Yeah and the Bush drawing is accurate too.

 

So blacks are upset that Bush has appointed a conservative black woman? Why on earth does this bother them? Would they prefer a conservative hispanic or white person?

 

I don't think anyone is arguing against the right for a black person to be conservative, but you seem to be arguing that blacks should keep their mouths shut until they have a president the like.

 

The KKK is very negative toward White Politicians sympathetic to minorities. Why do white people allow this.


Thanks for lumping all of us in the same boat, especially since most of us have never even heard of this publication. Good job.

 

No, I never said that, don't put words into my mouth.

Most people think it's part of political strategy. And to tell you the truth, it is GOOD political strategy. But at the core of things, you really wonder if he would be so anxious to do such a thing if there weren't political pressures behind it. Conservatives themselves are in part to blame for this, as their reputation with black america has been spotty at best, so now they're being forced to pander to black america in this way.

No, I never said that either. Stop putting words into my mouth.

 

Also, how come Republicans are always saying that race shouldn't be an issue, but now that people have gone against a conservative hispanic and now a conservative black, the local Repubs are acting like it's a shame that people of similar race aren't supporting these people and letting a little thing like different fundemental beliefs get in the way.


HYPOCRISY EXPOSED

 

Also to add.

Conservatives do this to appease most of the moderate nonpartisan sector of the public as well, regardless of race. Because intolerance and racism is not a trait that enhances the image of a party in virtually anyone's eyes.

 

What is disturbing is that this lady came from NOTHING to be where she is today, she should be applauded as an example of how to succeed in spite of all the negatives she has had to overcome.

Her parents were sharecroppers, and now she is a judge on the California Supreme court...good for her.

What I find disturbing is that liberals can put out racist crap like this and get no reaction, but a conservative will be tarred and feathered for anything that they say that could even remotely be considered politically incorrect.

Sorta like when Gray Davis said the N-word at a NAACP fundraiser, and no one raised a stink about it. The hypocrisy is amazing.

 

No the operative word is black as you, yourself pointed it in italics.

 

I may be wrong, but if the guys who made this cartoon are black and it's made for a black audience, how is it being racist?

 

I for one think it's great that somebody like this has such a positive attitude on the virtues of hard work. I wish more shared this view.

 

and I'm disturbed that everytime something like this is brought up, all Black people get lumped together because there is no national outcry of some obscure publication that I am sure most blacks have never heard of.

I'm also disturbed that people in this forum always feel free to tell me and the rest of us black folks how we should behave.


Also, what's so disturbing about the cartoon, its Clarence Thomas in a dress, to make the point that her views or the same as Clarence Thomas's.

Most blacks don't have the same values as Clarence Thomas, and if that is this publication's objection to this nominee so be it.

 

Yes you're right, a black woman can't be insensitive to racial concerns, you've already established the fact that we all think the same. You're right, by your logic, that's ridiculous.
