That's isn't exactly true, people move from the lower class to middle class (and back) fairly readily.

Good news then. America doesn't let anyone fail now. Bailouts to all that fail. Stay on unemployment forever.
Also, those black conservatives seemed well-spoken but uppity

Errr, better checking your quoting -- he wasn't the one that originally posted that.
While I'm sure there are many black conservatives, they are a minority among black voters in general...which is why people tend to say that "black people" vote Democrat, even though not ALL of them do. Just like Republicans lay claim to several groups (military folks being a prime example) who don't universally vote Republican.

Also, that does not sound like a reporter. That sounds like an angry woman who hasnt done anything with her life and wanted to exploit someone elses successes for her own personal soap box.
And got owned.
And then got pissy.

I don't recall what her deal was, but the guy on the right 'suggested' the racist signs at TP rallies were 'photo-shopped' when depicted in the media.
The woman in blue is the president of Conservative Moms for America whose moto is "Americans coming together to take back America for God" and intent is to reclaim America from the 'Socialists'.
The press briefing and ""New"" faces of color in the Tea Party Express come two weeks after Tea Party Express leader Mark Williams kicked out over 'Colored People' letter.
Spidey won't tell you that (I watched the entire briefing), or the way they attacked the NAACP throughout the press briefing with some outstandish hyperbole, being that this is somewhat of a repost: Tea Party Rehab -- Part Deux. It doesn't fit with his agenda.
He also won't tell you that at the press briefing they 'forgave' Mark Wiliams for his 'letter' - LOL

Black Republicans are Uncle Toms, just like the GOP chairman. I was watching him on TV today give a speech to a crowd of White Republicans and all I could do was shake my head and laugh at him.
Maybe my sarcasm meter is broken but are you are saying that because a group of minority individuals is not beholden to the political and ideological plans of the liberal Democrats in this nation then they must be a race traitors?

The democrats want all minorities in the ghetto and poor so they can pander to them with hand outs to buy votes ....everyone knows this.
Okay but think for a second. Where have we heard this notion in the history of politics of being race traitors because a person does not follow a certain political ideology/party? Think big and think world wide.

I don't think there ever was any question that there are black conservatives. As far as them being articulate, they are no more articulate than most liberal blacks. The picture casts here of blacks is that we are all on welfare, in jail, or get our jobs through AA. None of which is even remotely true for a very large portion of black America. I am not college educated, but highly knowledgeable in network administration, which I do for a living work in IT.
Both my siblings are college graduates, one with two degrees, both doing well. We came from a mom and dad who neither went to college. But to many here they would think we got where we are today through some program, but we worked as hard as anyone else. We don't all live in the ghetto, but usually the picture is pushed here.
But in that video, their speech and talking points were no different from any other conservative. They just happen to be a black group. But a handful of blacks don't change the "evidence" many have seen in pictures and video of the outright racism involved in the Teaparty. The guy who said watch the video and you'll see how racist Shirley Sherrod is, is a complete lie. He never watched it. In that video she even promoted and encouraged racial harmony. And here is a person who's father was killed by a white person during Jim Crow.
So to see some young guy with his hat flipped to side like he just left some club criticizing a person who has stood the tests through time is embarrassing. The woman who said the NAACP kicked her out because she was interracially married I doubt happened because of that. More than likely her conservative views got her the boot more than anything. There is a stark difference between conservatives and liberals. But both idealogys have good things and bad things about them. I don't find neither one any better or worse, because it is the person who we vote for.
They brought up Robert Byrd. Here is some facts. His KKK background is true. He came up with Strom, Helms, Wallace, and that bunch. But this man asked for forgiveness, and spent over 30 years not with lip service, but supporting practically every single piece of legislation that supported minorities and women. At every chance he disavowed the Klan. He is one of several senators to ever recieved a 100 approval rating from the NAACP. The rest of racists, died racists except for Wallace. He may have started out racist, but he defeinately did more than enough to prove with "evidence" he wasn't one when he left this earth.
John Lewis has been a civil rights stallwart his entire life. His life work and him as man is above reproach and to be criticized and mocked by this group is laughable. I can sum this up in one sentence, if his word can't be given the benefit of the doubt, whose word in the country can than?

LOL this OP certainly puts the cloth back where the scissors cut out the holes.
Transparent and pathetic black and white BS as usual.

You know to be honest, I had to self censor my latent racist thoughts when it came to commenting on some stereotypical comments about a ladies apparrel. But, I know for you anti-PC types you should just let it hang out. Why not let it rest, and stop picking at scabs. They will never heal that way.
