624, No I didn't.

You're trying to make a distinction between the two supposedly based on intentions. And I'm saying what does intentions have to do with the basis of their arguments? Either those arguments are right, or they're wrong. What their "intentions" are for making the argument is irrelevant.

As for their audience, that's mainly because it's only conservative audiences that will listen. Most black people just make assumptions of what they're saying and never try to thoroughly read or listen to what they have to say. And considering very few of them do lecture circuits to begin with (the most they do is an occasional speech or book interview), it kind of defeats the purpose. But I doubt if any have placed "whites only" signs on the auditoriums they speak in.

Besides, with portrayals like yours, it's seems like a mountain climb just to get a significantly black audience. The "right-wing" created black conservatives? You make them sound like Frankenstein-like robots. Where are these "historical facts" that supposedly created them?

Now, I'm sure Ward Connerly was supported by white conservatives as well as black in his causes to eliminate affirmative action in Cali. However, how does this differ from the NAACP being supported by communists and socialists, even having white presidents up until the 1960's? According to your logic, black leftists were created by the far left too?

Did that mean Connerly and others never REALLY want to see an end to affirmative action...that they were just paid to be frontmen to do so?

Yeah right.

As long as you and others try to label political ideologies based solely on racial polarization the black community will continue to suffer not only through the travails of a bloc group being taken for granted in elections but also because of close-mindedness due to social issues regarding the community as well. The misinformation of some supposed right-wing conspiracy in regards to black conservatives won't help any of us to prosper.

So we're thinking, okay, who would be somebody that could really shake it up? And we came up with one man. We came up with a name, folks: Donovan McNabb. Kerry-McNabb. The only problem is neither of them could carry Philadelphia." - Rush Limbaugh
