The Cream of the
White Crop

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...
