pretty much. at least that's how it worked for all of us.

One of my problems is that when someone else talks about the word nigger, i don't know if they're including niggah in this.

It's difficult. And society is so quick to assume racism from anyone who is white.

they shouldn't. i mean there were some who thought it was wierd for a white bro to be all NIGGA PLEASE, but nobody really cared enough. not to mention it's so commonly used now it may as well be another word for bro.

nvm... Arthur did not give me the right to post our conversation.

The "token" black thing is as racist as burning a cross on someone's yard. To imply that a black man can't honestly hold those views unless he's a faker or a clown, or that he isn't an "authentic black" because he doesn't agree with the other 90% of African-Americans is degrading not just to the target of the statement, but to every other other African-American as well. This is saying that "all blacks must be this," which is the very crux of the sort of prejudice we've been told we as a society should be combating for over 60 years.

I found this on the internet, and you will laugh...probably. I know I did.

"We no longer in the 60s. We got rights. Obama's president."

Only thing I could make out because, "You wanna get wet again, bitch?"

Now when it's too hot outside, I'm just going to find a black guy and call him a nigger.

The fat bitch in the scooter (why is it always fat people who are too lazy to walk in those and not actual old/disabled people?) called him the "N" word. I think what progressed was that he told her to fuck off, she didn't, so he went all Selma, Alabama on her ass. That's why he kept shouting, "Who you callin' n!$@#$?"

I thought it was historical irony, aside from being the usual "stupid assholes interacting is funny" comedy.

What a token clown of a black man in the GOP might look like



(He's a token black man because they pretty much elected him to lead in response to the Democrats electing a black man. He's a clown because he's a clown.)

that was pretty damned hilarious on many levels.

Remember when black people said Condelezza Rice or Colin Powell weren't black enough?

While Mr. Steele has been...less than impressive during his tenure as the RNC Chairman (the word "amateurish" and phrase "out of his depth" spring to mind), saying he is a 'token' is still wrong, on many levels. He was probably the most prominent member of the party to toss his hat in the ring for the job. If I remember correctly, despite being a bumbling doofus with a foot perpetually in his yapper, he out-maneuvered what opposition he had for the post. Again, this whole "token" thing is beat to death, and what people are really saying is that republicans only allow/endorse blacks in their party as some sort of window dressing, and that no "real" black people would ever be republicans.

If you want to say Michael Steele is a clown, have at it. His has not been the greatest of chairmanships.



That's actually the sort of boorish behavior I was referencing. There's a lot of that directed at the tea party. Some of the black tea party people even did a spoof video where they went around asking where all the black people were at the tea party events. The only people they asked were black, and there were more than two.



Oprah has more money and a nicer butt, but I'd probably still let Condie buy me dinner.

I'm not implying black people can't be Republicans (or implying anything), I'm stating overtly that the Republicans voted in an RNC head that is grossly incompetent because of the optics of him being black. And as for being "prominent", he is the former lieutenant governor and failed Senate candidate from Maryland. Maybe that's the most prominent person they could find, but if so that would just speak to his competition and not to his own prominence.

But as for the thought that "black people can't be Republicans", that's a little deceptive. Black people CAN be conservatives, but that isn't same thing as saying they are likely to be Republicans. The party cemented it's reputation for a generation as the party of the Southern Strategy that opposed the Civil Rights Act and racial integration in the '50s and '60s. It's not surprising that a party who took it as their creed that black people should be second class citizens does not have a lot of black support. There's a reason the Dixiecrats left the Democratic party after they passed the Civil Rights Act, and there's a reason they all ended up as newly converted Republicans.

You should be equally unsurprised if any party that rants against Hispanics and Muslims will lose at least a generation of support from those groups as well.

None of this is a values statement about conservative people, or even people who happen to be Republicans. It's just historical fact.
