"You certainly have the right to feel the same about me, so cry us a river...."

My point, exactly. "Cry ME a river." Please!

"I have a disdain for fake blacks, and uncletoms, yes! As a people these types will do us no good and provide no help in moving us forward."

And this is the main culprit in why "specific" individuals only "retard" the uplifting and progression of our people. But I'll let you tell it....lol. The mainstream in this country has only ONE goal: to retain it's power base. In prior posts, I have consistently pointed out that, "a race that once deemed itself as "owning" black people will NEVER respect us." Please. Take OFF your rose-colored glasses and your "we are the world" mentality. Ain't gonna happen. Not now, not ever. Bill and Becky are no more "friends to our people" than the Jews. Obama is not a choice candidate for ME, but I refuse to be one to adhere to decade's old practices of voting for people who have proven track records of illustrating that they give "less than a dam" about BLACK people.

"It's too convenient for many of us to lazily lean on blind faith, rather than challenge the mainstream momentum."

Your words. "Mainstream." And not enough of black people are willing to challenge them.

We are on one accord in one given area: many of US do lean lazily on blind faith--and this is just one of the variables in black dynamics that continue in curtailing our progression. Intelligent debate? Sure, when you present ME with such. Stick a fork in you--you're done Black.
