[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] I've never heard anyone call Powell a "sell-out" ... can you document this? Clarence Thomas? Oh, I see, so Bill Clinton is evil because he's improper with women, but you just choose to ignore Anita Hill? Typical. No, no, we're going to vote Billy-boy out because he tells bad cigar jokes and fucked an intern, but Thomas can force women to do naughty things to him, but it's okay, 'cuz he's OUR black man! Woo-hoo! Hmmm, I dunno, who organized those 9% to vote for the Republicans? Gasp -- could it be that, I dunno-they thought for themselves? Oh my GOD! The concept! Thinking black men -- what'll be next? A gay black man elected President by the Republican Party? And, wow, wouldn't this mean that some of the blacks who voted for the Democratic Party did so by thinking for themselves? Not if you listen to a Republican. And since when do you believe the press, Mr. "The Liberal Controlled Media?" The issue isn't black leaders on the Republican side as you seem to suggest. In fact, the issue is that striking out like this in the hopes that you can convince people that the majority of the black population is controlled by Jackson, Sharpton, etc. What, black individuals can't think for themselves? If you listen to Republican hype, 91% of the black population (in other words, those who traditionaly vote Democratic) can't. [rant]Again, with Jackson, you tend to forget that the Republican party has done little to recruit black voters. In fact, the Democratic Party isn't much better. Jackson energized the black and minority vote -- you ever heard of the Rainbow Coalition? I get sick and tired of hearing people complain about black activists. See how'd you'd act if YOUR people had been first held as slaves, and then treated as second-class citizens until only very recently. Of course people don't like to look at it like this, who blames them? Jackson ran in the Democratic Primaries in '84 and '88. He toured inner-city high schools, churches, factory towns in decline, and visited striking workers. He has always worked to register new voters, and specificly targeted groups with high-portions of non-voters: minorities, young people, unemployed, the poor, and tried to form a coalition with feminists, enviornmentalists, and others. Bitch all you want about black leadership, Jackson and the others have earned it by reaching out to those who other wise don't give a rat's ass about either party. When has a Republican politician ever done that? Now, yes, you can make the point, "hey, they only follow Jackson and the others because there are no viable alternatives!" Well, then, fine give them some and stop bitching about how unfair it is that minorities stick with a party that actually went out and stirred up the vote! That actually went out and WORKED for their vote! You want the minority vote? Prove to 'em that you deserve it, and don't fucking bitch about how blacks are so dumb as to be scared by Democratic slur campaigns, and don't pretend nominating minorities to high positions will change that overnight. It won't. You can paint an old '43 Buick and make it look brand new, but it'll still run like it's a '43 Buick. Personally, I'd rather have a new Eclipse that needs a wash. Thank you. [/end rant] Now, the original point was, How does the support of the black population make the Faith plan any more or less Constitutional? It doesn't. Thank you. [/QB][/QUOTE]
