This post deserves to be a "BLAX News" posting to show the contrast between now and then. I don't have my video archive at my disposal just yet for a ready reference so I will hold off.
Please recall a short time again loyal Black Democrats (ie: Roland Martin) were telling the Republicans that they have too many "right-wingers" in their party and they need to be more open to centrist Republicans.
I assure you that one thing you will NOT hear from the "Black Establishment" is that "Indiana Senator Evan Bayh is right. Our Democratic Party needs to moderate from our far left disposition. If we were more in the center our party would cast a wider veil over more people".
Such a set of words are an anathema to the Black Establishment operatives. Their entire goal is to move the Democratic Party to the left - WHERE THEY RESIDE. Such a hard left move by the Democrats will allow these operatives to drop the denial and suspicions that despite the rhetoric of certain Democratic Party officials they remain as defenders the status quo. The Progressive Left dreams of a day in which America will be radically reformed with leftist, quasi-socialist policies and sentiments.
Despite their emotional connection to the Democratic Party they claim that the party is not "PROGRESSIVE" enough for their taste and thus they deny their deep seated emotional connection to it. Again - despite the party receiving the monopoly majority of their votes.
Despite them warning other Blacks who think about becoming INDEPENDENTS the threats to the "Black Interests" if they leave the Democratic Party and the Republicans have an easier pathway into power. "Please come to your senses man" is a likely refrain.
There are two names that one will never be called in Black America (OK - 3 now that I think about it)
- "You are a left-wing extremist"
- "You are carrying the water for the Democrats"
- "You have sold out to Barack Obama where you care more about his political fortunes than you do your own permanent interests".

There aren't too many white democrats agreeing either. The party has been hi-jacked and people are just sitting back. I for one find this refreshing. Bayh is one of the dems that I have some respect for. He seems guided by principle most of the time. It is too bad that he didn't stand up and say this a few months back during the healthcare debacle.
