My AGENDA is to "Watch what makes the prevailing Black political consciousness tick?" - per the longitudinal study that I am conducting.
I see this present spat as evidence that Thomas Nast was right on point with his editorial cartoon titled "The Ignorant Vote".
While you get no argument from me that when certain "loaded words" are used by those White Conservative Republicans who stand against the prevailing ideological position - they are done to "rile up their base".
What I notice as well, however, - bit it "MSNBC" or the Black Progressive-Fundamentalist - it is also true that the Progressive makes use of words from their "conservative enemies" to return fire, claiming that this is merely "defensive fire".
I refuse to get involved in the TRANSACTION because while you all are scouring every word that "Media Matters" or Tim Wise tells you that some WHITE MAN told them when there were no Blacks around.....................I notice how easy it is to compel those who claim to have the "Community Consciousness" at hand to invest the balance of their time in what the Racist White Conservative has said to insult them.
For Me It Is A Question Of VALUATION and PRIORITIES
I suggest that everyone go out and purchase a "Roku" box and then load the "MHz Network" channel. It is more important now for Black people to clasp onto a broader world view than it was when we were told the same during the "Iraq War".
To see Nigeria where one opposition faction has set off several bombs, killing their adversary - it is hard for me to get riled up at mere words said here in America.

Here is how I bring it all home: There is little that is going on in the way of development of the Black American communities that will promote us collectively as being able to do anything in support of the "diasporatic Blacks".
I MAINTAIN - that the TIME INVESTED in talking about these "Racist White Republicans" - mostly done to fuse IDEOLOGICAL UNITY and compel Black folks to invest our "Black Community Uplift Consciousness" in the party opposite the one that "Offended Us" is TIME that has been permanently taken away from other, more enduring efforts to improve our condition in absolute terms.
The truth is that both the "insults" and the "feigned response" are scripted, showing the balancing act between the two bigots - just as Mr Nast has captured.
"WE" have it so bad that the mass failure in Detroit is not discussed by the "Black combatant" from the stand point of "look at how much the 'Black Permanent Interests' have been decimated by the policies and politics that were allowed to take over Detroit. We need to CHANGE, insuring that this same end will never happen again. Why didn't we heed the warning signs?".
Instead we are told that Detroit is under attack. The "State Republicans" seek to "remove Black elected officials from power" and "We need to FIGHT THEM".
At this point I get a clear reading that "Racism Chasing" is a more powerful force than are the other key interests that we were promised to receive as a community IF we REMAINED UNIFIED. The Black rank & file did their part. It was the overlay "Black Racial Services Machine" that implemented a grand scheme that ultimately failed - vaporizing hundreds of millions of dollars of "intergerational wealth" in the process - a decline that preceded the "Great Recession" and one that will likely continue long after the national economy picks back up.
Some of you fundamentally can't see that you are being USED. Your "transactional consciousness" has you easily drawn away from any long term focus.
