    In Politics, Blacks Must Mature

    Full disclosure -- racists bore me and race-baiters amuse me. We know what a racist is, except that some folk believe two wrong things about the label; first, that it automatically means that a White Republican has entered the room and, second, that no minority can be racist. If you cannot grasp why those two premise are logic faults then you are probably a race-baiter.

    So, what's a race-baiter? Someone who's inclined to label all White Republicans racists and who seems to believe that no minority can be racist. Don't you love it when a definition is so easy to present?

    Thanks to the inevitable results of decades of political propaganda endorsed by the leadership of the Democratic Party most race-baiters belong to the Left of Center category. Furthermore the most blindly ardent race-baiters tend to be Black Democrats. This is why the United States Congressional Black Caucus has until recently been nothing but an organization of dedicated race-baiters and has now fully returned to that traditional designation with the political defeat of their only current Republican member, Allen West.

    Coincidentally with his ouster as a U.S. Senator the first thing the CBC members did was to appoint a rabid race-baiter as their new incoming chair, Rep. Marcia Fudge, a Democrat from Cleveland -- and what is the first thing she has done? She accused Senator John McCain of both sexism and racism for: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-gra...ism-and-racism

    " . . . criticizing [Black] U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice for going on five Sunday talk shows and claiming the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was a spontaneous reaction to a video posted on Youtube."
    Had McCain ever been either a racist or a misogynist it would long ago have become national headlines and so the result is to make this Congresswoman, and head of the Black Congressional Caucus, look like both a race-baiter and an idiot. Unfortunately, politically speaking, this is indicative of Left of Center Black perspectives and activities in general. I lay it at the feet of a cynical Democratic Party leadership who keeps the vast majority of Black voters in their pocket through the simple expediency of cynically reinforcing stereotyping of White Republicans as racists. But we live in an information age and there's no longer any excuse for ignorance -- willful or otherwise -- where such things are concerned.

    It actually is possible for John McCain to be against Ambassador Susan Rice for his stated reasons and therefore those statements are what need to be addressed. If they are wrong in nature then prove them wrong. If you can't then live with the results. It's called personal growth and political maturity.

    Well, isn't it political maturity to cynically claim faults in your opponent that do not in fact exist? Yes and then again . . . no. Anything can be taken one step too far and after that the public begins to detect the distinct odor of ripe manure in the air. John McCain is many things -- some good and some bad -- but he's no racist and the kneejerk cry of "Racism!" from these Left of Center Black leaders is not only drearily predictable as a cynical political tactic at this point but it's become a farce and has turned into its own stereotype of what it means to be a leader of any type in the Black community. It's making the Black leadership in this nation look bad . . . because it implies that they can't come up with any effective, logic-based tactics or arguments for advancing their goals.

    It's times for leaders of the Black community to politically mature and cease using race-baiting as a political crutch for everything under the sun. If you cannot devise logical arguments then put some serious study into it, because you've now reached the point of being a nationwide laughing stock.

    Yes, yes, race-baiting is the Left's intellectual comfort food . . . but it's bad for them and bad for the nation and even as they bitterly cling to it as a sure-fire win tactic everyone else is maturing past that via internet access to alternate perspectives and interpretations that do not, when you get right down to it, consist of nothing more than "Because we say so!"

    Minorities are not actually stupid and many of them can see that this race-baiting tactic by the Left's leadership and lazy elites amounts to nothing more than a cynical and patronizing political ploy. People do not like being played for fools and the Left is playing minorities for fools. So not only is this eventually going to bite the Democratic Party leadership on the behind, it's already happening in ways that the Left is too sunk into stereotyping to recognize.

    So look at this as a friendly heads-up. You ignore it at your political peril; but that's your prerogative.

    There is a reason why after all this time you have exactly zero reputation count and it's not because you are a leftwinger; it's because you neither look past your prejudices nor your bigotry and because you seem to be too intellectually lazy to put any effort into your postings.

    Reasoned argument cannot be based on nothing more than ideological bullet points. You might consider issuing reasoned responses that amount to an arguable thesis with supporting points.

    No . . . that's still not a reasoned argument. All you are doing is regurgitating propaganda that's twined around a forth grader's intellectual grasp of the world. You should be able to do better than that . . . but it will require thought and effort.
