9. I totally get what you're saying and it's a point well taken. But I think the way the term
is being applied reflect a more modern characterization of how many black conservatives are paraded in front of the cameras to give the Republicans cover for their racist rhetoric and hostility to people of color. These black conservatives are typically the first to defend the actions of Republicans and to quickly and affirmatively denounce any charge of racism, subtle or overt. It's astonishing to me and highly offensive. And I believe they do it to gain notoriety for themselves, for that is the Republican way. It's all about self aggrandizement and promotion of the individual over the well being of the collective. While I don't think that all blacks should think and behave the same way--we are not a monolith--and those who are proactive in vilifying the black community and/or rejecting valid claims of racism even though their skin looks like mine, are Uncle Toms (the modern version).
Please document this, idiot. You sound more racist and hostile to conservatives who happen to be people of color here than any real Republican I know about. Who are you to tell anybody what they should believe based on the color of their skin. That is infantile, retarded, ignorant and dare I say, it strikes me as very close to racist if it is not in fact.
People of color are conservative for the same reason as people of non-color: It is because they can think an issue through and not just have a knee-jerk, emotional reaction based on something as superficial as skin color.
We will never have a colorblind society as long as liberalism holds any sway because liberalism, an obvious mental illness, judge everything by superficial appearances. In other words, people like you, Liberal_Stalwart71, are the problem.
