Are Black Dems Getting Intolerant of Black Repubs (video)?

Has the political flames been turned up between blacks on opposite ends of the political spectrum? Has what many view as racially charged rhetoric and actions/deeds from Newt Gingrich, other GOP presidential candidates, and other GOP elected officials taken its toll on many black democrats? The interviewer in this video definitely seems at his wits end! However, kudos to the lady; she demonstrated great poise in the lambasting she was getting from the interviewer. Was the interviewer out of line here (especially considering the interviewee’s a woman)?

Also, do you think the rhetoric from self-identified black conservatives like Herman Cain and Allen West has really help intensify the heat between black liberals/progressives and black conservatives/Tea Party members? How should the two groups handle this going forward? Watch the video to the end for reference to the related link below.

Q & A Session: Black Conservatives

Image from callofduty-8-modernwarfare-3.com

The intention of this post is have a virtual question and answer session with black conservatives. It is not intended to stereotype or label this group in any kind of way. Actually, it’s intended to have the opposite effect. I want for my blog readers to have a better understanding of this group. So please, if you are a black conservative, chime in and answer whatever questions you feel comfortable answering. And of course this is a blog; so please feel free to discuss whatever you want or critique the Q and A at the end. I may adjust questions accordingly. I encourage you to cut and paste the questions to make it easier on the reader. As long as the language is fairly appropriate, I will not delete or alter your comments in any way at all- that’s not what I do here. I’ll be conducting Q and A Sessions in the future for other groups as well. Please, you can comment on this post no matter who you are; but only answer the questions if you are truly a black conservative. Thanks in advance.

Tea Party And Racist In The Same Sentence! Who Would Have Thunk It?

Image via Wikipedia

Okay people, the NAACP has spoken: the tea party is full of racists. Have Ben Jealous and Jessie Jackson gone "too far" in statements that they've made this week calling a predominately white organization and a white man racist? Are they playing the "race card"- AGAIN? Let's Talk...
