No, not "just so long as they're Black conservatives", silly. Just so long as they're the bootlicking, oppressor-loving type Negro; The type of Negro who would go ALL the way across town to buy ice from a white fella, rather than from a black fella right across the damned street....because they're CERTAIN that "the white man's ice will be colder".
THAT type of Black "conservative".
And, yes...I'm sure they're okay with it. They probably like it.
As long as it makes Massa smile.
What makes me sick as a white person, is they think it is all about gilt tripping other white people on my part and your part being black. NO, both you and I are saying PULL YOUR FUCKING HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS.
The problem with A theist treating blacks as drat picks in pro sports, and CL using "I didn't do it" or "Why does Thena get to use that word but I dont" is that poor urban blacks have the same thing in common it poor rural whites, LACK OF LIVABLE INCOME. But only one party is perpetuating that by dividing the races, and that is the GOP.
I bet they cant name one urban GOP mayor that expanded programs. But at the same time, even in Oxycodine infested West Virgina mostly white, they GOP is claiming to want to fund addiction treatment, but guess who is going to pay the taxes for that? THE white middle class and the white working poor.
And I don't think they understand this. They wont listen to me either when I tell them out here in the sticks of NC I hear about drugs and shootings too. And no, the criminals are not all black out here.
Point being, you and I would love for politics to be strictly about wallet issues. But until they understand you or I they wont understand what we are saying, and nothing will get done for any skin tone urban or rural.
I agree, you should not have to go out of your neighborhood to find food or affordable living. Just like coal miners need to understand coal isn't coming back.
So yea, I don't want you to stop being an uppity negro. If no blacks did that we would still have segregation. MLK said it many times, "The better blacks do, the better everyone does."
And no, nobody would have any right to call MLK a "Social Justice Warrior" anymore than I like being called one. What we are arguing for is simple basic human decency.
Those monuments are not symbols of humans being decent to their fellow humans.
