The
liberal, progressive White folks who dot the political landscape
of the Left are, in my - an nearly half-century old
Black man�s honest, humble opinion...simply better
people, far-better human beings, more advanced, civilized
creatures - then the conservative (racist/sexist & elitist)
White people who populate the political Right in
American life.
You
may not dig this, but dig this: There�s absolutely no debate
about it. My Hippie is better then your Redneck.
If
Ann Coulter speaks for most of tight-laced / tight-assed
White America...and horrifically, she, as well as the GOP
TEA Party does � well, then, Herman Cain represents;
he�s the poster boy, and I do mean boy for
exactly what �mainstream� White folks use to mandate, hell
demanded - and still today behind closed doors yearn
for; that simpler-time when Negroes knew and accepted
their assigned place.
Cain�s
that ole�-fashion child-like minstrel donning a top-hat
n� White gloves, another Ward Connolly, Larry Elder or Thomas
Sowell - a spineless chocolate scarecrow with a �for sale�
tag pinned to his black ass - a willing and wanting human
chess piece who�s adopted and embraced angry White America�s
prescribed subservient lot in life for him and his.
What
I find astounding is that the �Right� is so-very desperate,
they want to unseat President Obama so badly - they�re willing
to attach their wagon to a Black Jackass like Herman Cain
who is so toxic he�s glowin� like a cheap-ass 1960 Glow-in-the
dark, $12.99, Timex watch.
The
TEA Party compromise is that wishy-washy White America will
clearly see �Our Blacks are better brainwashed then the
Democrat�s Blacks� and abandon Obama and adopt Cain - apparently
even if Cain turns out to be a low-life.
What
does it say? Millions born again bible totin� Christians,
self-titled Real Americans are willing to turn a
blind and deaf ear to Cain�s moral-less acts, as long as
he remains a Trojan Horse, carrying the hopes n� dreams
of individuals, institutions and organizations which don�t
have the best interest of Black folks in mind.
Yes,
no question they�ll back him if continues to conduct their
business, remains the watered-down, obedient, tame,
submissive, gentle...voluntarily ignorant of the facts,
manageable, pimp-able, alas exploitable. Any
middle school US History textbook will spell out that centuries-old
desire.
White
America has a documented track record of liking in its Blacks
a certain docile manner...Joe Louis was preferred over Jack
Johnson, Dr. King over Malcolm X, Smokin� Joe over Ali,
Flag-waving Big George Foreman over Black fisted Tommy Smith
and John Carlos and Booker T. over WEB Dubois�
Believe
me, I�ve weighed, measured and pounded all the White folks
in the room, and with that being said I can descend from
the dark attic with the burning-bush truth...we liberal
and progressive Black folks have got the best White folks
America�s got to offer on our side, standing with us...Bill
Maher, Phil Donahue, Emeril Legasse, Helen Keller, Keith
Garret, Father Michael Pfledger, David Hartman, Robert Downey
Jr. ,Thom Wise, Tenna Marie, Elanor Roosevelt, Michael Moore,
Andrew Hacker, Dave Zirin...
I�ll
take a White man who can roll n� stroll in another man�s
moccasins, who can empathize with the rest of the world
who rightfully resents the European imperialism and colonialism
that virtually every Continent is still reeling from...over
a man who still believes as Imperialist icon, South African,
Cecil Rhode,s did a hundred years ago: "I
contend that we are the first race in the world, and that
the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the
human race...If there be a God, I think that what he would
like me to do is paint as much of the map of Africa British
Red as possible...
My
bleedin� heart Liberal is better then your Good ole� boys...
That�s
right, there�s no question about it; I�ll take an Hillary
Clinton over a Michelle Bachmann or a dim-witted, Jungle
Fever stricken Sarah Palin, any day, and I�ll even take
a patronizing, condescending Harry Reid over low life weasels
like Rush Limbaugh, Big George W. n� Little Dick Cheney
any day..., any day. I�ll stand side by side with the Occupy
Wall Street Movement before I�d step in from the rain for
a TEA Bagger...
I�d
rather lock-arms and do business with folks of the Caucasian
persuasion who don�t commemorate the Confederacy, nor suggest
we, no not merely turn back the clock on the progress made
by FDR, MLK, JFK, and LBJ - but rather rip the damn clock
right off the wall.
I
can break-bread with folks who want women to have a choice,
and who don�t have a problem eating, riding or shopping
with Black or Brown folks. I�ll hold the ground with Commie
/ pinko White Liberals who believe Health Care ought not
be for only the top 5% of Americans while maintaining a
quality educational system - which is the cornerstone of
a civilized people, and I�ll stand with those who oppose
unbridled capitalism and believe in organized labor and
worker solidarity.
Granted
I�ve got issues with liberal White folks, and I�ve tired
of them speaking and writing on my behalf, defending my
position with the ferociousness of a...Hippie, and the �moderates
Dixie / Reagan Democrats� I�ve no use for - still I�ll take
a ole� Meat-head� over modern day Archie Bunker any day.
I
know, call me crazy. but my wilting Flower Child is better
then your angry White man...
