Actually, many black conservatives quote that "character/content" part of his speech, and yes, they are labelled as not truly black. Our own Resident and attorney general have put us back at least 20 years of racial harmony advancement, not to mention Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, the Black Caucus, et al.
What really pisses me, is that Obambi and Holder are half white...Holder probably more so. Being of mixed race, you would think they would be more neutral, forgiving, and promoting "character/content". No, Obambi says "...Trayvon son thing" and Holder says "...his people" as in blacks and refused to prosecute the New Black Panthers armed intimidation at a polling location.
The whole race/ethnic issue makes me sad. Spending 11 years in the Navy, I had friends of all races and ethnicity. Only saw them as equal shipmates. I truly didn't see ANY difference due to skin melatonin. Now, I'm getting biased.
It’s true, I’ve generally noticed it’s the lighter-skinned blacks that tend to be the most militant. As if they feel like they need to be so radical to prove they belong to the club.
It is sad, that only the military and truly well-managed corporations* are close to being color-blind - that is, setting up a system so that the best and brightest will rise unimpeded.
*No, I’m not talking about window-dressing or “making the quota”.
