This cover was pulled within seconds (no doubt) of a few black
activists whining about the format of this pictorial. The problem?
The cover featured the tag line: "Stepping out of the shadows."
Of course, there
is absolutely nothing racist about this rather cleaver play on words. The
black models are as attractive as the white model. And, there is
not the hint of racism to be found within the pages of this publication.
It is this
mentality that has driven many blacks to abandon their Christian faith, to
adopt their own "Christmas" holiday (called Kwanzaa - a 1966 creation
celebrated between Dec 26 and January 1) and add to the militant black
community's violent disposition. Maxine Waters, Al Sharpton,
Jeremiah Wright, Van Jones and Eric Holder and Louis Farrakhan are prime examples of this
extremism. Thank God, the vast majority of the black community is
not hate oriented and accepting of the Leftist position(s). While
black leaders such as TD Jakes or Colin Powell or JC Watts or Col West understand
the complaint of the radical Left, they are not supportive of their
strategies and anger.
What is
interesting to me is that fact that it is the radical Leftist Black who is
pushed to the foreground of the modern-day Democrat Party as it continues to
move further and further to the Left.

Right, just a myth. That's why the teaparty is 99% white
ReplyDeleteDitto for the leadership of the Democrat party or the staff at MSNBC or the Administrative elite NBC -- they are all white? So what?
ReplyDeleteAnd, how do you know that the teaparty is 99 percent white? Here in the Central Valley of California, we are looking at a 60/40 split.
The fact is this: SOME blacks have been whining about "racism" forever, and they are all in the Democrat Party. In fact, one cannot move up in the Democrat Party, if black, unless one is a committed "whiner." The blacks I know, are hard working, religious folks, whether Democrat or Republican.
