Most of us black folks in A-merry-ca know that we don't fit into a certain narrative that some folks have of their beloved country. We are here but we don't really belong. "If only they could have picked their own damn cotton".. that kind of thing.
To some blacks folks, on the other hand, that kind of talk is bordering on blasphemy.
"If the master’s house caught on fire, the house Negro would fight harder to put the blaze out than the master would. If the master got sick, the house Negro would say, “What’s the matter, boss, we sick?” We sick! He identified himself with his master more than his master identified with himself. And if you came to the house Negro and said, “Let’s run away, let’s escape, let’s separate,” the house Negro would look at you and say, “Man, you crazy. What you mean, separate? Where is there a better house than this? Where can I wear better clothes than this? Where can I eat better food than this?” That was that house Negro. In those days he was called a “house nigger.” And that’s what we call him today, because we’ve still got some house niggers running around here."
Yes Malcolm we do. And the folks in the house just love him. In fact, the folks in the house believe that their Negro is special.
“That’s why our blacks are so much better than their blacks,” Coulter said. “To become a black Republican you don’t just roll into it. You’re not going with the flow. You have fought against probably your family members, probably your neighbors, you have thought everything out and that’s why we have very impressive blacks in our party.” [Source]
I Love the possessive tone there Ms. Coulter. "Our blacks". I am sure that Herman and his friends are proud of the fact that they are your blacks as well.
I just bet that there is no other place that they would want to be than with you.
What poor Herman and his friends will never understand is that folks like Ann Coulter and her friends on the right will never truly see him [or others who look like him] as equals. "Our blacks are so much better than their blacks"? WTF? I guess we should call it a "Freudian slip" because it is so revealing.
Still, Ann and her friends are rallying around their black guy, Herman Cain, and they see his latest troubles as just another case of those evil liberals piling on. (BTW, I agree with Roland Martin. Can we stop with the high tech lynching talk? Herman is not being lynched. His dumb ass is being exposed for the lying fraud that he is. This is a lynching.) It is not. But it's funny to see Coulter -and folks like her- playing the race card. I guess this is what happens when you mess with one of her Negroes.
Finally, I am disappointed with his O ness and his administration for saying no to the legalization of the collie weed. I certainly hope that they will reconsider their position.
Actually, after seeing that Rick Perry video from New Hampshire, I am starting to think that he might be our guy on the legalization front. From the looks of it my man lit up a big fat one right before he took the stage.
