The Black Republican

I am seeing the likelihood that the Democratic Party is engaging in racism (see Tom's explanation of the distinction between racist and racism) when it comes to Conservative minority advancement being considered in more and more venues. Last night on Fox News' Hannity and Colmes, with the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson as the guest representing the right, for instance. The idea, and the pressure it puts on the Libs is building; it even so concerned Colmes (the Lib host) that he retorted with the claim that as a white male Liberal he is the victim of racism, the first step in ending demagogery is causing the demagogue to so confuse the issue that his words are meaningless. Score one for the Rev. Peterson last night. Hannity, particularly, made the point that Conservative minorities can not expect representation from the likes of the NAACP, and other "Black" advocate groups, only the liberal black need apply.

I also came across Annika presenting a brief note on the media's reaction to the Iraqi election containing a tie-in to racism which included this question:

Are the nay-sayers in the media, who refuse to see the democratization of Iraq as a good thing, any different than old fashioned racists?

UPDATE (Chris): Shi' Bubba, who's drivin' dis bus anyhow?
