Me replying to a poster named HDB - Loyal "Democrat Who Is Black"
HDB:
You are marketing the Democratic Party and Progressive politics as IF they have developed Black people. Let us apply what I call "The Proportionality Filter to your argument. Please note I am a "Black Conservator Independent". The model of my world is that there is the "American Political Domain" and then what I call the "Community Cultural Consciousness and Competency Development Domain". The Democrats/Republicans reside in the first. The present Black Establishment has largely ignored the second - where most of our problems reside.
[quote]1) I received my education funding when Clinton had a Democratically-controlled Congress…which increased the education spending!! [/quote]
HDB: Notice that when Health Care was too expensive and shutting people out the Progressives went after the industry to control prices. Why is it that with college education - which is inflating just as much as health care - you and other Progressives brag that the government is PAYING THE INFLATING BILL FOR YOU? HDB - where is the demand that the Federal government go after this inflation that denies hundreds of thousands of people a college education due to finances?

2) Affirmative Action granted us ACCESS to the work place…but we had to meet the same STANDARDS as everyone else!! [/quote]
HDB - from the index of PROPORTIONALITY - What proportion of the African American community has prospered under Affirmative Action? Has this program prepared our people for the realities that took place as the demographic landscape changed? As favorable people took over our cities as ideological and racial impact triggered suburbanization - how was the "WIDE MIDDLE" of Black America prepared to do when WE were a growing portion of the CITIES? Affirmative Action requires an ENTITY upon which it is applied. This track toward racial development does NOTHING when you are the "last one standing" in a city and need components of the economy that create jobs and employ people and add to the "gross local product". It seems that some people are more keen on "fighting the White Establishment" than on developing the area THEY NOW HAVE POLITICAL CONTROL OVER per the elections they have won. I am NOT a supporter of Affirmative Action. It is a diversion from the real investment in our human resources that must be made to increase competency.

3) I DID watch the Clarence Thomas hearings…and I noted a man who wanted to eliminate the same pathways that allowed him to prosper his educational pursuits….he failed to recognize that Affirmative Actin allowed him to ENTER Holy Cross so that he COULD be successful!! [/quote]
HDB - IF this is the only indictment that you have against Clarence Thomas (and I am sure that it is not) then he is doing well. I would like for you to index the sins against Clarence Thomas because of his Black Conservatism and compare this to the damage done by the Progressives - man of them Black who CONTROL THE BLACK COMMUNITY. They control our public schools - the key to our growth as a people and we are NOT prepared to operate as the "professional service providers" for our own people after matriculating through this process. Thomas' predecessor Thurgood Marshall teamed with Judge Brenan to block all capital punishment - even before they opened the file folder to read the facts. HDB - in the progressive theory you all fear that with capital punishment - 1 innocent man put to death is worth letting 10 guilty men to go free. Sadly HDB with the moral superiority of the progressive - you can't see that our community is being over run by the "10 guilty men" you let go free. I am not impressed by "moral stands". Let look at what is allowed to erode as you stand on your mountain.
My support of Clarence Thomas comes from the fact that he has the AUDACITY to believe that BLACK PEOPLE ARE EQUAL UNDER THE LAW. This pisses off leftists who transact on BLACK INFERIORITY. The "Ricci vs New Haven" firefighter case shows this clearly.

4) Why is it necessary for a candidate to “reach out” to a community? Are we not constituents? Are we NOT voters??
Republicans don’t even think I exist…..and every time their policies have been implemented, I’ve lost ground!! You ask who’s been in my pocket more? The GOP….from tax increases..to LOSS of INCOME…..they’ve affected my growth more than the Democrats have!![/quote]
HDB this is a disingenuous argument. IT JUST SO HAPPENS that Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Tavis Smiley, Cornel West, and EVERY OTHER BLACK LEADER ARE DEMOCRATS. As I said in my initial post - is it a surprise that we Blacks drive to get into the "racist subdivision" yet we are attacked INTERNALLY if we are Republicans? To pretend that there is no negative force to avoid voting for the GOP is dishonest. Listen to the words of Dr Ronald Walters - a "Democrat who is Black". He said that the worst mistake that the Black community can make is to SPLIT OUR VOTE ACROSS MORE THAN ONE PARTY.
Notice that this warning says NOTHING about the notion of us pursuing an "any means necessary" course for our community development? With the Democrats controlling every single voting district where Blacks are 35%+ of the voting base - HDB - when do we proclaim them to be the ESTABLISHMENT FORCE in our community and thus demand that they produce or risk being tossed?
Instead in Clayton County Georgia after one clique of Democrats fail (school accreditation) the Black voters toss out the one Democratic clique and put in another. HDB it is NOT that the Democratic Party has benefited our community - the results have been mixed as systematic racism has been regulated - the problem is that the Black community does not PUNISH the Democrats for failure as we are inclined to do with Republicans.
We are presently at the worst case scenario HDB - our "sold out leadership" have us voting as loyal Democrats. Where they have WON - our community interests are LOST. Yet (in Chicago for example) in the face of Democratic control and tepid results this sold out Black leadership sees a "GET OUT THE BLACKS TO VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATS" drive as a cure for our problems. You see, HDB if the REPUBLICANS get back into power, we are told......the fate of South Side Chicago, Vine City Atlanta, and nearly all of Detroit will REALLY be screwed up.......if you allow them to tell it.
