Parker: Race And The 2010 Elections

Will the NAACP be celebrating the arrival of two new black faces to the U.S. House of Representatives?

Don’t hold your breath. They certainly will not. These two new black congressmen are Republicans.

There’s a powerful message here that should and must be digested.

We have arrived in post-racial America but establishment blacks – lodged in the political left – refuse to accept it and are doing all they can to get black citizens to refuse to accept it.

The sobering reality is that the black political establishment doesn’t want Dr. King’s dream. They don’t want an America where people are judged by the content of their character. They want an America that is Democrat and left wing and this is what they promote today under the banner of civil rights.

The campaign by the NAACP and leading black journalists – all liberals – to paint the Tea Party movement, the push back against government growth and intrusiveness over the last two years, as motivated by racism is shameful.

Shortly before the elections, the NAACP produced a tome called “Tea Party Nationalism,” alleging racist connections to the Tea Party movement.

The day before the elections, Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson wrote a column suggesting that the Tea Party movement was a well funded racist pushback against President Obama which started the day of his inauguration.

Tim Scott and Allen West, our new black Republican congressmen, are both aggressive and unapologetic voices for everything the Tea Party movement stands for.

They were just elected in districts that are overwhelmingly white. Both also defeated white Republican opponents in their primaries.

Scott’s district is Republican. But West’s is not.

Florida’s 22nd district that just elected West voted for Barack Obama in 2008, John Kerry in 2004, and Al Gore in 2000.

I guess these white Democrats and Independents didn’t get the racism memo.

The political tsunami, washing in a wave of new Republicans to Washington, was caused by a major shift in the vote of political independents, overwhelmingly white, and who largely voted for Barack Obama in 2008.

Who turned on the light after the presidential election that caused these white voters to discover that the man they voted for, to their horror according to the NAACP and Eugene Robinson, is black?

The NAACP and Democrat party for that matter are racists.

Lets not forget, Dr. King was a republican.

And Alan West would get my vote for President. He's a true patriot. youtube his name and watch the first result for one of his speeches. How Ironic would it be for the first black (not biracial) president to be a Republican?

I am endorsing a Bobby Jindal/Alan West ticket for 2012.

Bryan, Pres. Obama IS the first black pres. Chances are West has a biracial background, just as many AA's.

Anywho, Jindal is a fake. He changed his name to "Bobbie" after watching the Brady Bunch? How much of a sellout move is that? And the man neither speaks with an accent reflecting his ethnic background or his geographic location. How much more fake can you be?

If our African American Voters continue to follow people such as, Sharpton, Jackson, rangal and Waters they are condemning themselves to be nothing more than slaves to failed education systems, poverty and living in squalor.
Only fools continue to do the same thing and expect a better outcome.

1:36- calling someone fake while posting as anonymous? wow. Pot, meet kettle. He chose to go by "Bobby" because he identified with him and wanted to be like him. its a nickname. Just like Barack went by Barry in High School.

And furthermore- "neither speaks with an accent reflecting his ethnic background or his geographic location"? how much more racist can you get? How is he supposed to sound? I would be accused of membership in the KKK if I said that Obama Doesn't sound like he was a Black man from the south side of Chicago (Wait... he doesn't, HMMM, maybe that's what you are getting at) besides, BO grew up in Indonesia. Shouldn't he sound Indonesian by your logic?




And I thought Clinton was the first Black president. ;)

4:41, so couldn't the same be said for the blind support of Rep. by middle-age white rural males? I'm just going to assume that your logic doesn't work both ways.
