I had to go back and read page 2 twice to verify that this babe had been to Princton!! And she can do is whine about how bad she feels about being black.
Why is she so concerned that her son go to college? Clearly she hasn’t done anything with her education. Must have been all those black history courses.

I don’t think this is sad. I think its typical. And don’t call us. We don’t need fools.

Her story doesn’t add up. She’s a Princeton grad but works as a supervisor at the Howard County health dept? That sounds a little too mid-level management for her background.

Any African-American woman who graduated from Princeton should be able to write her own ticket for any job she wants. She’d be in huge demand by most corporations and government agencies, and after so many years should be in charge of the agency.

Universally respected ? I can’t speak for Martians and Venetians, but this American doesn’t respect Totalitarian Marxists with God complexes.

“They are not the smartest, but they truly trust him, and he uses them, he wont educate them”

I am always reminded of something Will Rodgers said...
“On election day the the promising season ends, and the excuse making season begins.”

In politics, racial diversity matters to her, along with her opposition to the war in Iraq and worries about the economy. She's "one of those people that count the number of black people at an event."

"I want to make sure I'm represented," she said.

Stewart's strong sense of racial identity came from growing up in a predominantly white housing project in Cambridge, Mass., where hers was one of only three black families in the neighborhood.
(Emphasis added.)

Funny, that same "strong sense of racial identity" seems also to be current where blacks are the overwhelming majority. Has the author analyzed this tendency correctly?

</sarc>

Getting serious for a minute, the idea that someone of another race couldn't possibly "represent" her, is inherently racist. As opposed to a statement about observed behavior in a person who refuses to represent constituents of another color or ethnicity.

Then why are 98% of blacks voting for 0bama? Surely some of them are very moral people.

Are you sure that they actually know what they're voting for?

I know folks who really can't identify the principles of the guy they intend to vote for. They're quite adamant that he's the right guy, though. This phenomenon isn't new, either. I see two elements supporting it:

1) Historical family voting patterns. "My daddy was a (dRat|Pubbie) and my granddad was before him ... so I'm voting (dRat|Pubbie).

The "yellow dog" factor is indeed very, very powerful (in fact, ridiculously so). However, if that were all that mattered Blacks would still be voting Republican.

2) MSM do everything they can to obscure the candidates' principles and the history of those principles. Instead, MSM cast the election as a personality contest combined with a "trick-or-treat" mentality. Voters are then enticed to support the designated nice-guy-who-will-give-them-goodies. This phenomenon plays out in the primaries, as well as the general election.

I don't know about that. It's kinda hard to miss the leftism of the Democrat when the press blatantly supports it (abortion, gay rights, etc.).

They don’t know what they are voting for and they don’t care. He is “one of them” and that is all they need to know. I hate Howard Stern but I did hear his broadcast about going to Harlem and asking people on the street about Obama. Worse than sad. pathetic.

Again, if that were the case they would vote for conservative Republican Blacks as well. They don't. It also doesn't explain their enthusiasm for white liberals.

It IS the case. Not all blacks but a great many of them. They didn’t even know his policies or that Sarah Palin wasn’t Obama’s vice president.................sickening.

How in the name of all that is reasonable can one plead ignorance of Obama's radical positions? And again, surely it is no coincidence that Black conservatives are despised as "uncle toms."

Hi FRiend,

Never thought I’d see this happen to a country like ours.
Kissed your 401K goodbye yet?
