so in spite of the fact that the GOP has all but flat out stated they are a racist entity at the core, one who's actions have consistently and blatantly attempted to hold down "the black man" in america; you find fault in anyone telling a black republican he's sold out? I know it's a free country but that doesn't mean they haven't sold out.
Any and everything the GOP stands for doesn't represent ANYTHING the "black man" (re: minorities) stand for.
Your stance just does not compute nor does the article you posted.
If i see someone making a mistake I try to warn them. If i see someone trying to take advantage of people i try to warn the people and stop the person who's taking advantage. That's all this boils down to.
Most people view black GOP members as either:
1. Dumb as a rock
2. Crooked and self serving.
Either way they deserve the scrutiny they receive.
let me break it down why i wouldn't call a black republican a sell out
1) intellectual freedom as stated in the article, that kinda trumps everything IMO, just like any other freedom like freedom of speech, the reason to have it is not because people will do things the right way, its that you do not know what you are shutting down and it will lead to intellectual stagnation
its a pretty well proven principle in my view that if you have an open environment it creates a lot of static and garbage but it also creates a lot of new useful ideas
so even if somebody is a sellout they may have some good ideas that are very useful
2) im not a liberal, i would say im center right, so im not impressed nor do i cosign progressive politics as the means of achieving economic political progress
right now there is a thread in HL about the "prison industrial complex" and how its akin to slavery
but yet when i asked why are people supporting biden who as head of the judiciary committee since the 80s is the architect of the prison industrial complex, motherfukers didnt have an answer
i posted the links
Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joe Biden's Awful Record on Drug Policy | StoptheDrugWar.org
he even got together with strom thurmond Biden-Thurmond Violent Crime Control Act of 1991 (1991; 102nd Congress S. 1241) - GovTrack.us
he called obama the first articulate black candidate Bush Echoes Biden: Obama Is 'An Attractive Guy, He's Articulate' | ThinkProgress
and after creating a system that people are saying is like slavery he actual has the gall to say that if you dont vote for him republicans will put you back in chains Biden to crowd: Romney will 'put you all back in chains'
so im asking a simple question, how is biden not a "cac"? how do you guys rationalize supporting the architect of the prison industrial complex?
so biden gets together with strom thurmond to write a law to put more negroes in jail and thats all good, but tim scott, a black man, defeats strom thurmonds son and gets together with demint to take over strom thurmonds seat, and im suppose to have beef with tim scott?
really?
this whole entire country was built with the intent of oppressing black people, why are any of you fukers here?
yall do not impress me, unless you are on some kill the cracker type ish, at the end of the day you are making compromises and accommodations with white racists like anybody else
3) as i already said, its completely rational to have a defensive strategy that says we will support the least racist politicians or party, but that is simply one way of analyzing things
im rejecting the premise that a defensive strategy is the only rational strategy
i do not agree that black people should have a defensive strategy, i think we should have an offensive strategy whose goal is to dominate, so its not really part of my strategy to go around calling people sellouts or go around looking for some "good white folk", if that is your or other people's strategy thats just yall
