EYE wish white Democrats (and EYE use that term loosely) would pick a lane and stop walking down the yellow line in the middle of the road

Daddy used to say the only thing in the middle of the street is a yellow line. White Democrats would RATHER stay in the middle of the street than pick a lane.  They can't decide if they want to be democrats or if they want to be republicans.  Walking the yellow line allows them to be modern-day Dixiecrats.  

Reed defined a Dixiecrat as "those folks who are mad because blacks are a majority in the Democratic Party in Alabama."

White democratic women will defend the honor of a republican woman before they defend their own.

Democrats will praise/defend a republican before they praise/defend their own.



White democrats believe the only way they can "win" elections is to pander to the Republicans at the expense of their base because after all where can the base go?  The base is held captive on the plantation. 

“The data reveals that Black women voters are the very foundation to a winning coalition, yet most Black voters feel like the Democrats take them for granted,” the letter reads. “Since taking office, you have met with and listened to key constituencies. But you have yet to host a Black women leaders convening.”

Make up your mind.  You are either with us or you are with them.  Pick a lane.

Democrats text book! Lewis was beaten from his own party.

3 Black Alabama Legislators Defend Racism, After They Opposed Racism

Sigh.  Poor Alabama State Senator Scott Beason (racist, Gardendale).  In a pathetic attempt to defend himself against allegations of racism, three House Negroes  are defending the indefensible.  The only problem is,  two of the three black legislators are on VIDEO speaking at a press conference in OPPOSITION to Scott Beason. Ooops!  h/t CM

 This situation is proof White people fail to see how racism harms white people, as well as black people.  Instead of accepting responsibility for his  words and actions, Beason resorts to the Plantation Mentality and finds 3 black people to defend him against his own words and his own actions. What gets me is they honestly believe they are credible, and we the people are stoopid.

Judge Myron Thompson said Scott Beasons' motives were racially and politically motivated for becoming a whistler blower in the alleged vote-buying scheme to pass pro-gambling legislation in Alabama.  Key word, motives.  What Scott Beason said was racist.  I don't care how many black legislators come forward to defend him.  Watch how to tell people they sound racist.

I don't care what Scott Beason IS, I care about what Scott Beason DID.

Hope and Change for everyone but black folks

Black Agenda Report's managing editor Bruce Dixon ask, once black America gets over bragging rights what difference have presidential and congressional politics made lately?  The answer is none. Despite the recent drop in unemployment figures, everyone gains while black folks lose.  President Obama's agenda is working for some, but not for ALL.

 According to gop ,  black folks are  lazy, plantation democrats and welfare queens on food stamps, who want the government to take care of them.  Yet this is the same party who behaved like young thugs extorting democrats to get what they want, forcing them to make cuts in programs intended to help the American people in their time of need.

The gop is not solely to blame for the condition of black folks... those who advised the President to move to the center are also to blame.   His advisers were afraid if the first African American addressed issues relating to black folks it would look like blacks were getting special treatment like this.

President Obama didn't help the situation by listening to them, ignoring the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. , pandering to conservatives at the expense of the traditional democratic base.

Blacks voted in record number for HOPE for CHANGE we could BELIEVE in, not bragging rights.
