Black Liberals Assault on Herman Cain

http://townhall.com/columnists/crystalw ... page/full/

"It seems liberals but more specifically black liberals have carved in the ten black commandments that “thou shall never be a Republican.” These same black liberals also refuse to submit to the fact that not all blacks think alike.

With black conservatives like Congressman Allen West, Congressman Tim Scott and Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain debunking this insulting stereotype, many black liberals have resorted to racist name calling to protect the myth that Democrat policies help blacks. Cain has been target number one on their list."

Democrat is, historically, the party of the Ku Klux Klan.

And historically the majority of black citizens have voted for Democratic candidates and supported the Democratic party.

There aren't any blacks today who were alive back in the 1800's, they base their vote on what they see from the Democratic Party today, not over 100 years ago......and they may well ask themselves, what has the Republican Party done for me lately? Not much, that's for sure.

It depends on how you look at it archer. Lets say my wife and I have opposite views on how we raise our kids. My wife lets the kids know at an early age that they will never have to worry about having to fend for themselves when they become adults. If they can't find a job, we will create jobs for them and pay them from the family fund. If we run out of work for them, we will make sure they have everything from shelter, food, clothing and then be given an allowance.

Now from me at an early age, I tell them they will have to work hard and make their own way in life...don't count on living iin the basement when you are capable of working...even if it's a low paying job. I tell them I will be there for them in emergency situations but don't count on a long lasting safety net unless they become disabled or unable to work in some way.


So two questions need to be answered:
#1. If the kids were able to vote for one of us to be the head of household and make all the decisions, who are the kids most likely to vote for?

#2. Which parental strategy is more likely to result in strong adults who contribute to society and are less likely to live off the sweat of others?

IMO promising to always give, to always bail out, to always take care of every need, is a great way to keep them voting for you, but it's a horrible way to create a self sufficient and productive society. The scariest thought for me is a society that is increasingly dependant on what some poilitician promises and less dependant on their own abilities and motivation.

So what are your answers to questions #1 and #2?

1965 & LBJ was the game changer. Before then the Dems were the party of southern whites.
But consider this, since the Dems have been catering to African-Americans, black families have fallen apart, rates of incarceration have risen, drug use has risen, etc. With friends like that, who needs enemies?
And who are better role models for black youth, men like Herman Cain, a businessman, or Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, & Kanye West?

I am betting they will continue to attack the good role model.

How can I possibly answer that when your analogy doesn't bear any resemblance to the issue, you talk of two parent's who differ on parenting styles, but each of them is consistent in how they treat BOTH kids. A better analogy, to me, would be two white parents who have an adopted white child and an adopted black child. The mom wants to send both to a private school, the dad thinks that the white kid should go but the black kid will go to the public school down the street......both kids will be educated. Mom wants to give each kid their own room, dad says fine, give the big bedroom to the white kid, we will let the black kid have this closet with a bed in it...... both kids have a room, .........Mom wants to take both kids on vacation, dad says the white kid goes with us to Europe, well send the black kid to summer camp while we're gone. Both kids get a vacation That is how I see the mom, a democrat, as looking at the black population, and how I see the dad, Republican, as historically treating the black population. Which one do you think the black kid is going to favor, i.e. vote for?

What an unrealistic scenario. First of all, when parents adopt, it is not a casual process. Given my son has adopted and seeing how he treats his kids, they are seen as their vary own. Hence, given available resources for school, vacation, etc. there would be equal treatment. It is of major importance to him. Now if age differences exist and family finances change and thereby mitigate a parent's ability to give what they did before it is a completely different situation. I don't see equal treatment as a viable route for any parent under negative financial constraints, conversely, if improved the younger sibling may get more spoiled. I can see it happening when age differences exist and in that case the younger one black or white will get the short or better end of the bargain. It happens in real families all the time. But, you wanted to make a point you thought realistic... in whose home?

Of course. The good role model demands a commitment to helping oneself instead of wallowing in self pity and the expectation of a handout. One is a lot easier to accomplish than another. Take just about any black who has risen from poverty to make something of themselves and while they may help their home community, they preach a story of working for what you want in life ie. Shannon Sharp and a host of other pro athletes. Even Michael Vick knows that talent alone will not allow you to succeed without hard work.
