Gene Frenkle Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 But does that mean that blacks eschew Republicans, or Republicans eschew blacks? Well, that's obviously open to interpretation. I only presented the stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Frenkle Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 How are those stats relevant to the common and highly accepted labeling of black conservatives as 'Uncle Toms'? It simply speaks to the maximum number of people who may or may not be being persecuted in the manner described. Nothing more, nothing less.

Gene Frenkle Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Or when speaking favorably for a black Conservative is not endorsing "uncle Tomism" Tell me, does your lack of IMMEDIATE reply mean you're confused or just not monitoring PPP for a potential pissing match 24/7? I understand the tundra partially thaws this time of year, so I give you the benefit of the doubt in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 An interesting side note which lends your comment some numbers: 7% of African Americans identify themselves as Republican. 5% of the Republican Party is composed of African Americans. 1% of the "Tea Party" is composed of African Americans. Not intended to start a fight, just some somewhat relevant stats. Tell me, does your lack of IMMEDIATE reply mean you're confused or just not monitoring PPP for a potential pissing match 24/7? I understand the tundra partially thaws this time of year, so I give you the benefit of the doubt in this case. Try to figure out what you are after. Sure as hell I can't.

Gene Frenkle Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Try to figure out what you are after. Sure as hell I can't. I'm not after anything. I post a few stats (interpret them as you will) and I start getting bashed. Facts should only add to the conversation. I gave no interpretation of their meaning.

Gene Frenkle Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I may be spending too much time here lately. Time for me to take a break I think. I'm sure you're all broken-up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 By that measure, shouldn't Helen give her house back to the Mattaponis? Her "theft" was first, she should show the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Facts should add to the conversation. Yours didn't. That's why you're getting bashed. I have to stand up for Gene here because his point is obvious. His facts (there was no link, so we're assuming they are facts and not some DailyKos stat-gathering venture) explain his logic: tea baggers hate blacks so it's perfectly justified that liberals hate Jews. Please try to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erynthered Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 See ya, Helen. Great news, thanks. From the comment section: Ding Dong, the witch is dead! Now if the witch can get her twin sister Pelosi to go with her America may stand a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Hooray for consience and common sense political correctness! Is that what we are calling PC now? Fixed. I don't agree with what she said (the later part about Poland and Germany). Israel does need to get the hell out and stop stirring the pot.

DC Tom Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Pity. I always liked Helen Thomas. Of course, I consider her the press corps equivalent of a hood ornament...so there wasn't much to hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
