(Granted, the Democrats aren't much better, mostly paying lipservice to Black votes they feel are in their back pocket, occassionally trundling out an Obama or two to keep hope alive, but when one listens to contemporary Republican leaders, and when one looks at what they've done, and what they're proposing to do, how can any self-respecting, half-sentient, semi-conscious, semi-literate Black person ever support these fascists? I know that Black Republicans will say we need to support both parties, in order to leverage our voting power, but show me one Black Republican who is more than a token, show me one Black Republican that has actually gotten something done. Hell, let me just throw out Colin Powell's name: has there ever been a more neutered Secretary of State in recent memory, at a time when the world is more volatile than ever? Don't get me wrong, Powell's problem isn't his ability, it's that he seems to be seated at the kid's table, along with Condi, meant to be seen but not heard. As far as I can tell, he's just slightly more effective than the hood ornament on a Hummer being driven by Rumsfeld and Cheney. Also, my blog really isn't a political blog... I have no idea why I'm posting all these political things. Must be the season, or something. )
