Wha? Let's replay for those of you playing the home game.
Hello: Blacks in Chicago are no longer looking to Jessie. Republicans, ho!
Me: Good luck finding an individual black republican to lead, much less a critical mass to be led.
Hello: What about the blacks in the military? Are they Uncle Toms?
Me: No, they're just patriotic, not necessarily even conservatives. Not the same thing.
Hello: So you're saying conservative blacks are Uncle Toms?
I expressed no opinion on whether conservative blacks are Uncle Toms. I am, however, skeptical of the claim that blacks in the military have party memberships much different from their families back home.
I'm setting forth the dialog again here because I've read that repetition aids reading comprehension. Also, I believe any person who is able to conduct a conversation about the African American community
without resorting to stereotypic dialect has the upper hand with an audience of either race.
