“race trumps all”

Exactly right!

Exactly wrong!

This is a myopic assessment. If race does trump all, how do you explain all the capable, charismatic black conservatives getting the cold shoulder from the black voters?
No, it's much worse than "race trumps all" It's "Ideology trumps all"

Nah. Cosby was never a communist, I think. Morgan Freeman probably neither.

It’s color trums everything. For *some* people.

I do not believe it is race or ideology as a whole.

I believe it is that he plays to their general lack of understanding of economics and their general give a $hit less of what happens in America.

And how does he do it? By using the race card whenever he has a chance. This is how he stirs them up. This is something they “think” they understand, but they do not have a clue here either. Only thing they understand is that Obama is feeding and clothing them. Not yours and my tax dollars or the economic growth of the economy.

Obama is a wedge driver, plain and simple. Has been one all his life. Learned it early on and practiced it.

Black conservatives are exiled from the tribe. They are preaching a different view of the world. The tribalist doesn't want to hear about getting ahead for himself. He wants to glory in the rule of a tribal member.

No not all blacks feel race trumps all but IMO most do and yes there are the Ben Carsons of the world but they are few and far between in my opinion (I wish there were more). With all due respect if you worked around the blacks I do you might change you view a little. I live around 1.5 hrs from Sanford FL. there seems to be a different vibe since the not guilty verdict.
