I'm not trying to cause a war, but I want to point that out.
Just because we're liberals doesn't mean we're immune to racism.
I've been hearing people refer to Rice and Powell as Uncle Toms, white person wannbe, Aunt Jamimah, etc.
Some of you all are using their race and insulting them based upon it. You all will say it's only because they're Republicans, but this goes back to the "Good N Word", "Bad N Word" thing to me. It's saying that black people need to act the way you think they should and that they don't have a right to separate political positions.
One could argue that they should be on our side after all our side did to fight for their rights, but that's about like saying that blacks are forever in debt to do as we want because of what we did to help them out at one time.
If you're going to insult Rice, Powell, or other black Republicans; then the insults need to be based on the content of their character. It should NOT have any reference to black in it. Insulting them for being a Republican is one thing. Insulting them for being a "black Republican" is just racism. That's like insulting somebody for being a "black butthole" instead of insulting somebody for being a "butthole". When you bring race into it, you make it a racial issue. You start saying what makes a "Good black person" and a "bad black person". That's not right.
If the mods want to delete this thread of mine because of my rudeness, then they should also delete the posts making these racial remarks. I'm sick of it.
