The "Quotes from Self-Loathing Colored People" Department

Those of you who have followed me on Facebook may remember that up until the Fall of 1975 I was - and this is a technical term - LEFT-WING-FLAMING-WACKO-LIBERAL.

I know. It is hard for me to believe it, but it is true.

And, like most LWFWLs, I had prejudices about black people. You see, when I was an angry young white kid from the South, I assumed that all liberals and progressives like me were beyond prejudice, especially about black people.

My experience and observation was that we LWFWLs had these biases towards our tellow-travelers-of-color:

Black people were always:

1. Democrat
2. Liberal
3. 1 and 2 were governed by fixed and immutable laws of physics.

My biases there began to crumble when, over the course of a few years I met in Oklahoma, Black Republicans, who were Conservative Black Republicans, who were Conservative Black Republicans.

It was, to put it mildly, world-view changing. When Bill Clinton had his encounter with Herman Cain in 1994, I sympathized.

This election cycle, I have observed a surprising number of CBRs (Conservative Black Republicans) who are running, commenting, and winning.

I have also observed a significant increase of insidious white racists, who want to turn back the clock and keep the black person on the plantation, surpressing any independently arrived at thought.

Who are these "Kloset Klansmen?"

Tea Party members?

Chamber of Commerce types?

Bob Jones University students?

NO! They are Liberals. Not the Daniel Patrick Moynihan "anti-totalitarian/pro-social progress" liberals.

These are the "JFK was wrong about American exceptionalism" liberals.

You know them. They

1. Dismiss Herman Cain as being paid to run by Conservative White People
2. Dismiss Black Tea Party members as a statistically insignificant group,
3. Completely redact elected Black Conservatives, e.g. Tim Scott of SC and Allen West of FL as aberrations, and
4. Dismiss economists e.g. Thomas Sowell as a intellectually light-weight.

Looking at what these more fully evolved White People are saying about Black Conservatives, I have concluded that, alas, they are right.

(Not really, but saying so makes the end of this post easier to reach.)

I for one, want to help the More Fully Evolved White People get the word out - that Black Conservatives are SELF LOATHING COLORED PEOPLE.

So today, Juggling Wolverines launches a new department - the QUOTES FROM SELF-LOATHING COLORED PEOPLE DEPARTMENT.

"What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long."
