  1. It is obvious there are different shades of Black.
    Thers is MSM Black and Democrap Black which are acceptable colors but the Republican Black has too much of a white hue.

  3. Unbelievable! The “majority white” districts who elect balck congressman are doing so to appear not to be racist not, God forbid, because the black candidates are true conservatives just like the voters. The black Republicans are “out of touch” with black politics not in touch with their district’s politics. See, the darkies are different; they even have different politics but oh no we’re not racist! Maybe the black Congressmen see the folly of the progressives’ agenda with which so many “oppressed and disadvantaged” groups are enthralled.
    Cannot these “educated” jurnalists see the contratictions in their own opinions?

  9. Remind me again of how the non-incentive subsidy social programs of the Democrats have led to black poverty reduction?
    Seems to me they’ve created everything the KKK wanted.

  10. Partisanism is ruining our democracy, here we see an example of how morbid partisanism can destroy a person’s reason, perspective and humanity.

  11. It is actually incredibly insulting to black people for it suggests, repeatedly, that their thinking and ideology is genetic and not due to their own individual thinking.
    And I must first mention his slander of the Tea Party with his “the thinly veiled racism of the Tea Party adherents who have moved the party rightward”. There is not one instance of the Tea Party having any interest in skin colour or ethnic heritage. The author also ignores his own statement that Scott received the GOP nomination with ‘Tea Party backing’. Quite the contradiction. Does he read what he writes?
    Now, what about the insult to black, with his insistence that they all think alike and all share the same social and political ideology?
    He writes: “modern-day Republicans have deployed blacks to undermine black interests, as when President Ronald Reagan named Samuel R. Pierce Jr. to weaken the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Clarence M. Pendleton to enfeeble the Commission on Civil Rights and Clarence Thomas to enervate the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.”
    Notice he’s saying that the black person, in every instance, ‘undermined, enfeebled, or enervated’ whatever committee they were on. Hmm.
    The author does not examine why blacks vote for Democrats. Does he assume it’s in their skin colour genes? I wonder.
    Could it be that these same Democrats set up this dependency? When racism did indeed operate in the employment market did the Democrats move in with an employment infrastructure or a welfare system? Did this welfare system provide more economic benefits for the single parent family? Have these policies thus effectively destroyed any possible integrity of the black family? Have they thus set up a dependent population?
    Or is the cause of the black Democratic vote just because they have black skin?

  12. My, my, an intelligent and insightful (incite-ful?) piece of journalism by ole’ Professor Reed. Let me get this straight. Nikki Haley and the Republicans were clearly and horribly wrong in nominating Tim Scott for the Senate. What a transparent gimmick that was. And he never should have represented South Carolina in the House in the first place — we all know that SC is nothing but a cold, stale pot of worthless white supremicists. The Republican party needs to remind itself it is a white-man’s club (bunch of self-serving tea party racists). There are no ‘black conservatives’ or ‘black Republicans’. But the Democrats shed their own black prejudices way, way, way back in FDR’s day — ancient history. They’re a modern, inclusive party now. The ‘black conservative’ is only a figure of speech — not a real entity. The only proper home for blacks is in the Democratic party — or with the Univ of Penn faculty, preferably a tenured position in the PolySci dept. Oh, and next time you’re up for a position Congressman Scott, get elected, not appointed–otherwise, you’re nothing but a figurative lawn jockey planted in the DC ‘burbs.
    Thanks, Adolph for bringing this home.

  13. Exactly ET, how does the obvious contradiction of Tea Party backing/racism play out?
    It’s beyond stupid.

  14. Remind me again of how the nonincentive social subsidy policies of the Democrats have helped black people?

  15. “We have a token black president. Why not a token black senator?
    Posted by: Rob Huck at December 19, 2012 11:25 AM ”
    Rob . . add “token black professor of political science” and you have all the bases covered.

  16. Politics is a business.
    The “op-ed’ers” are only doing comparison analysis of their product versus the competitions’ product so the consumers don’t have to spend the time doing their own research. This is nothing but salesmanship in its most blatant form.
    If you would replace the “candidates” with “Coke vs. Pepsi” most would be able to see the salesmanship and marketing campaigns far more clearly. The MSM are becoming more marketers than fact and story gatherers. It is about entertainment, not information.
    Time to get away from the Two-Party system and get some real representation for the people.

  17. Adolph (really? Adolph?) to black conservatives”
    “GET your fanny RIGHT BACK on that plantation! Don’t you know your place?”

  18. Very well observed and said, glacierman at December 19, 2012 12:45 PM.
    YES, and when power is gained, to the extent that any pre-election advertising undermines POWER it gets jettisoned. See the new Quebec premier and her screwing of the heroic student strikers and former president of the National Citizen’s Coalition PM Harper’s BIG government!
    See Boehner who has adopted the “Pelosi Plan”.
    And YES to a 3rd Party.
    Or more accurately a 2nd Party!

  19. me no dhimmi, yes, more accurately, a Second Party!
    The GOP in the Washington Establishment are essentially the same as the ‘moderate Democrats’. But we can’t ignore the radical socialists around Obama, who are in it as is Reid, for Power and more Power.
    I think the real anti-government push will come from the grassroots; I still put faith in the Tea Party, and the States. Enough of them have GOP governors who are not, not, like the GOP in the Washington bubble.
    But, the Washington gang has go to go. Leave the new blood like Ryan, Carney, West and others. But the old guys like Boehner etc…should be dropped off a Washington bridge.


  22. It is actually incredibly insulting to black people for it suggests, repeatedly, that their thinking and ideology is genetic and not due to their own individual thinking.

    Yes, such as black ESPN “ANALyst” Rob Parker calling Robert Griffin III ‘not black enough’ and ‘not really one of us’ because RGIII is all about personal responsibility and votes Republican. RGIII was quoted as saying he wanted to be judged by his character, not his colour (hmmm.. that sounds familiar, I wonder who else said that?). But since he’s not cut from the same cloth as Jamie Foxx or Sam Jackson, his views don’t count.

  23. “Even if the Republicans managed to distance themselves from the thinly veiled racism of the Tea Party adherents who have moved the party rightward…”
    No evidence is needed. None. Forget evidence, Adolph*, this is “dog-whistle”** town.
    (*Don’t come across too many guys named Adolph these days, do you?)
    (**”dog-whistle” I always think of as “the voices in Maureen Dowd’s head”.)

  24. I’m just listening to Nathaniel Adams Coles’s “Unforgettable” at the moment, who is my father’s favourite singer, and mine, next to Toby Keith, of course, which exhibits our “inherent racism”, blah, blah, blah…
    If America really wants to go down this road…
    Who cares, really, anyway? They’re done.

  27. “I suspect that appointments like Mr. Scott’s are directed less at blacks — whom they know they aren’t going to win in any significant numbers — than at whites who are inclined to vote Republican but don’t want to have to think of themselves, or be thought of by others, as racist.”  Riiiight… because voting Republican is what makes you a “racist.” Why do these idiots get space to write such obvious garbage?  If you want to rant on a specific Republican and have some actual evidence, please rant away… but don’t paint an ACTUALLY diverse political group with your groupthink paintbrush ok? thxbye. (And I mean actually diverse as in “naturally occurring” vs manufactured)

  28. Just like aboriginals who think living off the reservation makes you less of an Indian. Race has become politicised to such an extent that being a social or fiscal conservative is unthinkable. This was seen during the election. An affluent incompetent candidate was better to vote for than one who had business experience but was white. For black American voters, voting for the latter only brought trouble.
    Imagine for a moment that all Americans save black ones were magically transported from the continental US. Would black Americans’ problems disappear? Of course not but one would see class warfare. I say let it happen now in everyone’s midst. Let’s see what a post-racial America really looks like- with conservative-leaning black Americans challenging the assumptions and vitriol of lazy-thinking black Americans who vote only with their skin. Let the white liberals’ heads explode trying to pick sides and make sense of it.

  29. “ut the Democrats shed their own black prejudices way, way, way back in FDR’s day — ancient history” And it is the type of
    person who believies….that words fail.Who started the K.K.K.? Yup Demoncrats.And FDR was a strong supporter of them.

  30. uncle Tim indeed… this fool, good Ol adolphus, doesn’t even know what racism is, because if he did he’d know he is one

  33. For the Liberal Left it’s all about disarming the Negro and putting them on welfare voter plantations.
    They keep their numbers down by legalizing and institutionalizing racially targeted or “Black Baby” murder factories in a way that would have made Hitler blush.
    A great documentary about the Liberal disarmament and subjugation of American blacks”
    “No Guns for Negro’s”

  34. Is the author saying that “blacks should slavishly vote Democrat”?
    Hmm, who’s the racist here?

  37. People like “Professor” Reed piss me of to no end. What a load of racism this guy carries around.
    He has no business being in any position of influence. He’s holding back everyone of color.
    If everyone has to fit in his narrow, warped view of “how things should be” then it is he that needs to go for his lack of acceptance of others.
    What a twat whistle.

  38. Once again the NYT shows that it is the recepticle for racist propaganda for progressives.
    I got a kick out of the part that said no black are against abortion….or at least none of them should be…..according to this alleged intellectual.
    So ironic….this entire stereotypical and racist diatribe coming from a guy named Adolph.
    Basically reading this one can only saw WOW the left is getting scarier by the moment.

    Basically this whole load of pap can be summed up in one word….WOW. It is getting scarier, yet enlightening, by the moment how the left and its minions are showing their true thoughts.

  40. A quick look at his CV and ‘areas of expertise’ reveals that he leans heavily towards progressive/socialist/communist theories of human behavior – one of his publications titled “W.E.B. Dubois and American Political Thought: Fabianism and the Color Line.”
    So he’s unlikely to espouse any conservative positions that might conceivably assist greater numbers of black Americans in leading lives of economic fulfillment rather than a wards of the state.
    Its’ less about blacks in America than about capitalism in America.

  42. Reed: “Republicans will not gain significant black support unless they take policy positions that advance black interests.”
    There are no “black” interests, or “white” ones for that matter. There are only individual interests.
    KevinB @ 3:26 p.m.: “RGIII was quoted as saying he wanted to be judged by his character, not his colour (hmmm.. that sounds familiar, I wonder who else said that?).”
    MLK too was Republican, and not a racist Democrat.
