CORNEL WEST: We’re living in an age where we black folk are just being pushed to the back of the bus in terms of our visibility in terms of our suffering in terms of the intensity of our exclusion, especially our poor black youth, especially with
TAVIS SMILEY: Right.
CORNEL WEST: the new Jim Crow and so on. And we have to be honest about that. Again this has something to do of course with what history books will say. The irony of the age of Obama in which black folks found themselves pushed to the back our gay brothers and lesbian sisters more and more pushed to the center.
Oh, boy....Here comes the War Between the Certified Victims Groups. More popcorn!
Communist subversives exploited race, weaponized race, and now discard race, as means to their ends.
TOLD YA SO! TOLD YA SO!
Sooner or later Blacks would object to no longer being the A#1 victim group, and the Democrat Party would start blowing apart at it’s seams.
Always thought the blowback would come against Hispanics though.

And it begins! The Democrats have what I call a ladder system, the top of the rung right now are gay people, the 2nd rung are women, the 3rd rung are hispanics, the 4th rung are blacks, and the bottom rung are poor whites, blacks have increasingly been pushed down the ladder in favor of groups who can financially help Democrats more, blacks are no longer favored status amongst the Democratic Elites, and I knew something like this would be brought up and it has!
I think the homosexual thing is more because it's just chic as the moment. But women are the largest voting block. Latinos will be a larger voting block than blacks, so naturally the Dems will pay more attention to them.
Look, when you go into an election knowing that 90% of the blacks are going to vote for you no matter what, then you got it made. Once again, why blacks want to put all their eggs in one basket is a mystery, but it's really stupid on their part.
Whereas Conservatives are bound together by common core values, no matter how few they may be, the leftist horde are nothing more than a cabal of egos that are constantly jostling for the best position at the table. (http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,65864.msg764904.html#msg764904)
You are not alone, Bally. ;)
They already have 97% of the black vote so they can take them for granted now.
0bama is 50% black but 100% gay.
You do the math.

For now yes, but they don't have to pander as much in future elections because the groups they need with actual $ will take the place of blacks and maybe at some point the light will go off, either that or they'll just stay home on election day.
