....I find Black conservatives especially repulsive. There a few of them making the circuit on the news shows who are happy to spout conservative claptrap and in particular bash Obama as if to say, "look at me, I'm NOT loyal to 'my people'". Understandably it is unpleasant to downright dangerous to be Black in America...but these Toms are kidding themselves if they think they are really welcome and almost not-Black simply because they identify with those who raped their mothers.

...this urge to identify with, to kiss up to and espouse the values of the White Man is very like what hostages do when in the clutch of their tormentors...they believe that by appearing friendly and maybe even a little grateful that they've been kidnapped and placed in danger and endured humiliation, loss of freedom and power and volition, that no harm will come to them if only they befriend their captor, he who holds the power of life and death over them.

...in a sense Blacks are still hostage to the whims of the White man...it's up to him whether they live or die...white police can shoot a Black man in the back under any pretense....caught at the wrong place and time every one of these Black neo-cons could be lynched, beaten and killed...their conservative bias would not change the color of their skin or the White man's reaction to it.

...any Black who sides with neo-cons and repubs is basically kissing the ass of his oppressor....hoping against hope that he'll be petted and tolerated at least if not really welcomed. The fact that the taking of his people as hostages and slaves, subjected to every insult and horror happened a few hundred years ago should make no difference..not until real and significant change comes about....until then it might as well have been yesterday that the kiss-ass Black man's mother was raped...and what's he doing trying to be the pet of his mom's rapist? What's he doing talking about "deficit reduction" and "balanced budgets" and "no new taxes" when it is still HIS people who suffer far more from such actions?
