My Thoughts on the Ann Coulter Comment are Below!
Tonight Roland Martin posted a RT on a very interesting comment made by Ann Coulter! The comment reads: “”””(RT @OfficialTatyana): "our blacks are better than their blacks" Ann Coulter bragging about black Republicans. Apparently we're still on the plantation.”””
My Response:
This is the same thing as Light Skinned vs. Dark Skinned Black People - When one is" in" the other is "out"!!... I am so sick of people setting up the divide and conquer games in our community! Most of the time we take the bait and blame ourselves -- but truly we need to see that neither party is really serving the community the way we believe they should on a large or small scale. The truth is that we love believing that we have "arrived" and that we have passed the color lines and barriers. Merit has nothing to with political progress. This system is designed to make us believe that we are involved in this moment and have an equal voice "if we'd only just use it" and really our voice is being used in some "wag the dog" exercise. It is BORING and I am ready for Black folks to WAKE UP and decide to demand a better system of involvement. The comment above was enough to make me take a nap! Goodnight Good People!
