Mommy, I’m scared.

however,the use of the term n—a on the world wide internet is over the line by all measurements and should never be used, especially by black people.

the term is a hate crime and deserves the most severe form of punishment.

pay attention, prison is a business, and black people are the raw material for it’s end products.

If your goal is to feed the white sterotype or potentially increase black on black crime then

perhaps you should continue using the term.

but, i assure you that it is a sum zero game.

The civil rights movement was a noble effort, but in truth it ended in defeat.

a new “movement” began and it is dominant today. illegal immigration, hip-hop, ebonics, outsourcing,drugs, aids etc.

wake up everyboby

OK, now I understand. No disagreement here.

And with no known voiced criticism to this question…

My bad. The words “This question” is refering to Spiegel’s question to Sharpton speciffically. It this had been on Fox news…I think you know what the response would have been. I’m getting a little tired of how the media is trying to back Sharpton in a corner on this. That’s why I’m glad someone like Dickerson is addressing this (again, the Sharpton issue).

West says often, when asked about “Black leadership,” that he thinks the requirements of being a “Black leader” is “loving Black people” and if you don’t “love Black people” then you aren’t a “Black leader.”

Smiley says it occassionally on his segment on the Tom Joyner Morning Show.

2. Huh?

Just because it is an MSM assumption, which it is, doesn’t mean that it is correct. Additionally, it is not just an MSM assumption, but an assumption in non-Black media, in general.

And, I didn’t comment on the MSM assumption I commented on And with no known voiced criticism to this question by those who hunt for racist acts from Whites towards Blacks.

Isn’t saying something like, “All my skin folk ain’t my kin folk” criticism?

2- If my conclusion as stated (“To simply fold just because “he’s one of us” underscores the assumption in MSM that politics in the Black community isn’t as deep and sophisticated as it claims to be.”) is incorrect then do tell of the great depths of “black politics” beyond skin color in a case like this. My hope here is that you can make the case.

Sharpton, C. West, Tavis Smiley, and others, have said before Obama and since Obama, something like, “All my skin folk ain’t my kin folk.”

Your comment “And with no known voiced criticism to this question by those who hunt for racist acts from Whites towards Blacks, the subtext of this statement must be true to an extent” is wrong as is your conclusion.
