Great Post about BigDog on Jack and Jill Politics
A must read.! The diarist hit the nail right on the head, on what is up with BiGdog!

"I’m going to let White folks in on a Black truth -Black folk could care less if YOU believe that you ‘ aren’t a racist’.

IFFFFFF

You are willing to use racebaiting tactics against a Black person….

WHY are you delusional to think that Black people will make that delineation?

It DOES NOT matter."

1. The next few lines are even more telling...

IF, when your back is against the wall, the ONLY solution you can come up with to defeat your opponent is using racial attacks on a Black person….

Nobody Black cares if you believe yourself NOT to be a racist. There’s not that much ‘ sophistication’ in the world for Black folk to mark the difference. And the ones that tell you they’ve done it- ask them what they’ve been PAID.

As a commentator on CNN remarked tonight, it wasn’t even the question Clinton was asked. It was totally random, unsolicited. I never believe that anything The Clintons do is random. It’s always purposeful. It’s always with an ulterior motive behind it.

You can believe it if you want, that these words just HAPPENED to be uttered by Bill as Senator ‘Straight Talk’ is accusing OBAMA of ‘playing the race card’.

And...

Make no mistake, Barack Obama BENEFITTED from the Dogwhistle Racial Politics of Camp Clinton, but he didn’t make an issue out of it, until it became so egregious that he was looking like a fool for NOT speaking up.

Obama knew the double standard and the evil of racebaiting; the MOMENT the Black Person speaks up and points out the racebaiting, THEY are accused of ‘ Playing the Race Card’. WE know that game, because it’s played on us daily.

No, the reason for your approval numbers dropping in the Black Community is because Black folk, despite the ‘ common wisdom’ in this country, actually DO think for themselves.

</snip>

I could not have written a better essay! BRILLIANT! Sums up what many of us black folk have been arguing for a very long time!

Kudos to this poster...
