Uncle Tom

You have got to be kidding me. To judge black republicans in this way is insane. This whole thread is turning into something just crazy. Republicans are NOT against blacks...and neither is GWB. He has promoted more blacks into power positions than any other President.
Reading some of the posts on here reminds me of why America is in distress politically....

Don't let Aaron bother you. He's a wildman.

not as wild as you....but anything but conservative.

Do you know what will break the bonds of anti-White racism among Blacks? Money. As more Blacks become solidly middle-class, they'll fight to not pay more taxes. Money talks.

Seriously.....Who do "white Cubans", predominantly vote for?.....The Dems are no picnic, either...as they have moved too far right for my liking...but they are the lesser of the two evils.

Wow! How can you accuse the Republicans of supporting Cuban immigrants to gain votes without acknowledging that Democrats have the same motive for the plethora of entitlements they will grant to any minority that will accept them?

And the Dems are too far right for you? And I am talking like a crazy person? And Bizkit is drinking the kool-aid? Wow!

Simple....Democrats have hearts....Republicans are "heartless"...Democrats care about minorities, the poor, the elderly, the disenfranchised, and freedom.
The Republicans care about the rich, the rich getting richer, themselves, money, power, the good ol' boy networking, and having their cake and eating it too, while the rest squabble over the crumbs that they may leave (remember Reagan's trickle down economics)
Yes, the Dems have their supporters and for valid reasons...
The Repubs have theirs for entirely different reasons....propagation of the status quo, and never relinquishing too much of the pie.
And yes, the Dems have come too far right of center, almost indistinguishable from moderate Repubs.

They might not be against them (blacks), but they ain't necessarily for them either....they're much like a problem to be dealt with, or ignored....hence New Orleans, in the aftermath of Katrina. (and No, you will never live it down.)
Keep on drinking the kool aid...we know better...walk a mile in our shoes.

and I am from the land of Katrina...so don't talk to me about living anything down. I have family and friends that were affected by the storm, so keep the kool aid comments to yourself. by the way, Dosen't New Orleans have a black mayor????

Unbelieveable. really, I just don't understand how you can be so far back in the stone age. and the "heartless" comment is just plain ridiculous! I have a lot of black friends and many of them have the same views as I. You have this "old school" view about politics...and I know you will never change it, so I don't intend to change your mind. I will tastefully agree to disagree with you on this subject...but you are totally wrong about Republicans. Not all politics are good politics, but I believe that Republicans do a heck of a lot more than you give them credit for...not to mention that a LOT of Democrats like to say that they are for blacks, the poor, the elderly etc... when they are in it for making themselves richer and more powerful. You can think what you want about the leading Democrats these days...but they are made up of a large amount of power and money grubbing politicians, sorry to inform you. Oh, and the last time I checked...we were in America. I believe that is also called the land of opportunity....no matter what color or race you happen to be.

So what? You're from Louisiana...big deal. So's both of my parents. Big whoop! What is that supposed to mean...that we don't hold the federal government (i.e Homeland Security. i.e . The Bush Administration) accountable for the lack of aid, the mismanagement of funds and resources, and the downright neglect, and indifference?
New Orleans has a black mayor, who is more interested in appearances than in doing any good..he is trying to cover his behind...I ain't moved....by the mayor or the governor, or the president...now what? Where does the buck stop....not with the mayor, not with the governor....ok? So what you talking about?

Wrong again my friend...I'm not from Louisiana. I said I was from the land of Katrina...didn't say New Orleans. Im from Mississippi. I'm from the state that didn't **tch and moan about the government not helping us and coming to save us constantly! You didn't hear as much about Mississippi on all of the liberal news channels (even though Katrina wiped parts of Mississippi off the map) because the people from my state sucked it up and rebuilt. Their fight was mostly with insurance companies....not the government. I mentioned that N.O. has a black mayor because you seem very interested in color...whereas I couldn't care less.
I don't agree with every last thing that was done during Katrina.... Yes, it took too long to get food and water and supplies to all those poor pitiful people at the Superdome...and my heart went out to them. Like I said, I don't agree with it all....Im a nurse for God's sake, I wanted to save them all...but it was a Natural Disaster!! The last time I checked GWB didn't go out into the ocean and stir up a big windstorm! The major problem that happened during Katrina, was a total breakdown in the local and state government of Louisiana.

Simple....Democrats have hearts....Republicans are "heartless"...Democrats care about minorities, the poor, the elderly, the disenfranchised, and freedom.
The Republicans care about the rich, the rich getting richer, themselves, money, power, the good ol' boy networking, and having their cake and eating it too, while the rest squabble over the crumbs that they may leave (remember Reagan's trickle down economics)

Haley Barbour, the governor, apparently did a better job handling the federal government's lackluster performance.

Thank you for your clarification. There are always compassionate, good intentions behind thd Democrats' pandering to minorities (regardless of how far right these conservative Dems may be), and there are always self-serving, bad intentions behind any Republican support of minorities.
Excuse me, but didnt' I say that the Dems were 'no picnic"...they are not my mother's Dems...but, hey, look at the alternative.


100% of black Republicans are Uncle Toms. No exceptions. If you are black and pro-life, for example, suck it up and compromise your values because Aaronsongs has it figured out for the entire race. As a black American, your political leaning is assigned to you, not open to your own observations, morals, and opinions. Fight the MAN (who is and always has been and always will be George W. Bush)!

When Condie Rice and Colin Powell, came into their respective offices, I fully expected them to be the voice of reason and moderation within this administration...but what did we get? A "'yes man, and an "alright, I'm with ya, mama". Not once did I ever hear of them disagreeing with Bush policy, and looking out for the interest of common black folk...they had, essentially, "sold out". All that was missing were recordings of them saying, "Yes, Massa Bush, I's gwine whip them darkies into shape, and stop all theys squealing, ya knows all deys looking fo' is a han' out...let' jus get 'em some crack, dey shut up."
As things have turned out, George Bush is the embodiment of "Da Man"...go figure.
And I can very well understand those blacks, who for status, position, advancement, or finances, embrace the Republican party....I just have to ask myself, is it worth selling your soul to the devil, or his proxy. Or for a reasonable chance at the American Dream, for real. In my book, NO.

I have worked hard all my life never asking for any handouts...even capitulated when the racist English instructor at U of H, decided to award me a "D", while giving the East Texas "white" s...kickers, who never answered any questions and had lack luster performances, "B's" and "C's"...I appealed to the Dean of Humanities, who informed me that there was nothing that could be done, but to make up the grade....that was one of the many slaps in the face that the system and "da man" gave to me...I could recount more, but I'm sure I would bore, and be perceived as a "whiner". Suffice it to say, those incidences are what shaped me politically...some things one never forgets...
Before you go there, your sympathy is neither warranted nor needed...I have moved on with my life...but I'm not about to let you or anyone else insult my integrity, or diminish my life experiences, based on your denial or your content at drinking kool aid. Real life ain't what's portrayed on Fox News. And racism is rampant in River City. Make no mistake.
Yet, somehow, I haven't given up hope, that this country can be mended, provided cool heads prevail.



The sad thing is you believe every word of the sarcasm in the above paragraphs. You are on the far-left fringe, my friend, completely obsessed with an anti-Bush agenda. Arguing with you is completely pointless.

Are you sure you can say this? Haley Barbour is a Republican. You are black. Is this allowed?

My disregard and yes, hatred for all things Bush, is palatable. There is no redemption. He got to the presidency by hook and crook. He is not, nor has ever been "my president". Indeed, arguing with me is completely pointless. Took you long enough.

Why has Bush allowed steroid use to continue in all-star wrestling? Bush killed Benoit.
