An unapologetic racist

An unapologetic racist


The Puzzle of Black Republicans - Adolph Reed, New York Times

"But this "first black" rhetoric tends to interpret African-American political successes — including that of President Obama — as part of a morality play that dramatizes "how far we have come." It obscures the fact that modern black Republicans have been more tokens than signs of progress.

So, if you black, you vote democrat and are progressive, otherwise you are a token. When race is not a consideration, then we will have a sign of progress. Obama is the pretend black. His progressivism is a return to the 1920's
