Anger in the house.

"So whenever that house Negro identified himself, he always identified himself in the same sense that his master identified himself. When his master said, "We have good food," the house Negro would say, "Yes, we have plenty of good food." "We" have plenty of good food. When the master said that "we have a fine home here," the house Negro said, "Yes, we have a fine home here." When the master would be sick, the house Negro identified himself so much with his master he'd say, "What's the matter boss, we sick?" His master's pain was his pain. And it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself. When the house started burning down, that type of Negro would fight harder to put the master's house out than the master himself would." ~Malcolm X~

I was thinking of this portion of Malcolm X's famous speech (from where the name of this blog comes)  while reading an article sent to me by a friend today. (h/t Greg)

The article was written by a republican brother bemoaning the fact that republicans are not showing black republicans any love.

The more I read the more sorry I felt for the brother. Imagine viewing your entire self- worth and self-esteem through the lens of how others view you.

To be fair, there are brothers (and sisters) like this on the dumbocratic side as well. Their entire life is built around the politics of their party. Nothing comes before the party. Not community, not family, nothing. It's all about the party staying in power and getting whatever rewards those in power decide to throw their way.

But back to Raynard Jackson, because his rant is the most pathetic of all.

"I am fond of saying that many times Republicans try to do the right thing, but do it the wrong way. 
Branch Rickey, former president and general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, scoured the Negro Leagues in 1943 to find the best and brightest baseball players who he could sign to integrate baseball.  He wasn’t just looking for raw talent; he was also looking for the “right” person(s).
 
Jackie Robinson was not the only good ball player in the league back then; for sure he was definitely one of the elite.  But he also had the other skillsets that would allow him to endure the racist taunts he was about to encounter as the first Black to play professional baseball with white folks.
 
Rickey chose Robinson not only because of his skill, but also because of his personality which would allow him to keep his composure under the strain of hostility he was about to face.  Rickey constantly validated Robinson specifically and constantly discussed publically the need for diversity within baseball and ultimately America.
 
Where are the Branch Rickey’s of the Republican Party today?  There are none.  The last one was former N.F.L. quarterback and former congressman Jack Kemp who died in 2009.
 
I was plucked out of obscurity by the Bush family in St. Louis when I was fresh out of college from Oral Roberts University.  They had no prior relationship with me, but they, like Rickey, scoured Missouri politics to find the best person(s) with the right political background; but also with the right temperament to proudly represent the Bush family’s name as the then vice president was about to launch his presidential campaign in 1988.  According to them, “they had been following my career and noticing my work in the Republican Party in Missouri.” 
 
My work got me noticed, but my relationships got me opportunity.  I didn’t have to run to be a delegate to our party’s national convention, I was told I would be a delegate; and thus it was so.
 
My point is very simple, I grew up in a Republican Party when relationships mattered and the party took care of their own.  This is no longer the case.
 
Republicans today spend more time rewarding their enemies versus rewarding their friends. 
 
Why would Rand Paul have lunch with Al Sharpton last November in the Senate dining room?  By doing it in the Senate dining room, he meant for the media and other members of the U.S. Senate to see them together; thus validating Sharpton as someone to be sought out for private counsel.  I wonder why there is no account of Paul making a similar validation of a Black Republican with relevant party credentials.
 
Why would Jeb Bush meet with members of the Black Lives Matter group when he has never met with any relevant Black Republicans?  Are you kidding me?  When you have no Blacks in your inner circle you tend to make foolish decisions like this.
 
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is the most recent example of validating Black Democrats and ignoring Black Republicans.  She was in town last week to speak before the National Press Club.  I thought the section of her speech about her accomplishments as governor was very good; but the speech was horrible when she began to talk about race relations and the Black community.  I also found it to be very offensive." [Source]
 
My lord this Negro is sad. What does he think they owe him? Yes the Bushes hand picked him to be their Negro of the moment, but surely he understand that he ---and others like him---are not going to get a seat at that table.   
 
"I didn’t have to run to be a delegate to our party’s national convention, I was told I would be a delegate; and thus it was so."
 
Translated: I never had to work. I always had a place in the house.
 
The problem is, my misguided friend, your place in the house is just a room. You will never have a say in how the house should be run. Maybe it's time you tried to own your own.

What's the matter Field, "we" democrats?

Can't you see, Mr Jackson is bemoaning the actions of modern Republicans who act like liberals. We call them RINOs or cuckservatives.

Don't worry, soon enough we'll have those liberals out of the GOP and we'll get back to running this country right.

Sure it is. And the crisis that Trump is causing revolves around admitting publicly just who "their own" really are.

@Doug the fucking loon:

What crisis is Donald Trump causing?

Do you blame the fireman who comes to put out the fire for causing a disturbance?

Get a clue already.

Brother Field, black Republicans have been treated like dirt by the black community. So, why would Rand Paul been seen with them when he is trying to get their vote?

#BLM can't stand those uncle tomming Repubs who were put there for "window dressing". How do you think Clarence Thomas got on the Supreme Court? That is a joke. The man has no business there than a man in the moon, and everybody knows it. Hell, every decision he makes is for 'white privilege' and more enslavement of Blacks.

Black Repubs are some very sick Negroes who hate themselves and derive their self-worth from white Repubs....Good luck with that, STEPHEN!

Negroes both Repub and Dem, depress the hell out of me.

When it comes to electoral politics, "owning your own room" is not really possible. Our political system basically guarantees only two parties will dominate everything; for the foreseeable future, they are the only game in town. The sad part is that he does not see why he has picked the wrong one of those two parties.

Deep down, the Republican Party is still deeply hostile to blacks and its outreach is only for show. Why does he think Rand Paul sat down with Al Sharpton, or visited Howard University, but couldn't care less about black Republicans? Answer: Because those events were tokenistic publicity stunts. They were Rand Paul pretending for the cameras that he gives a crap about black people's interests.

If this dude's political beliefs preclude him from crossing the fence to the Democrat side, then his only option is to work outside the Republican Party machine -- which is apparently what he's done by starting a consulting firm. Even still, his career still revolves around a party that doesn't have much regard for him.

He'd be better off leaving politics entirely if he doesn't want to spend a lot of time feeling angry.

It's probably his IQ that does that.

Black Repubs have no clout with the black community. That is why Repub politicians won't waste their time with black Repubs. It's as simple as that.

Of course, Ben Carson might change that.

The majority of blacks have been nothing but hostile to all Republicans. Not the other way around. So be it.

The door is open wide to all, but don't expect a warm welcome if you are being a hateful douche.

Are you saying that Blacks like yourself have had a say in the Democratic House? Me thinks not. Your place there is just a room, in fact it has always been just a room.

Maybe it's time you Dem Negroes tried to own your own? Or maybe you have been so used to not working for yourself you don't know how?

That's the bottom line, isn't it? The Dems have been giving you stuff that really hasn't been worth a damn but like a shit-eating dog you keep looking for more.

And YOU have the temerity to criticize black Repubs? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? no pun intended....well, maybe.

PilotX said...

If this guy is such a staunch Republican who better to start the outreach than himself? He needs to go into the communities and preach the gospel of the GOP. This reminds me of guys bitching about the union and my first question is "have you been to any meetings?" The answer is always no. Be the change you desire.

"If this guy is such a staunch Republican who better to start the outreach than himself? He needs to go into the communities and preach the gospel of the GOP."

It does not sound like he's complaining that the GOP doesn't do enough outreach to the black community. His gripe is that blacks who are already Republicans are treated poorly by the party.

But of course, the cause of both is the same: The party does not like black people. One of the main ways the GOP does their outreach to the white redneck demographic is by deliberately kicking black people. They've been doing this for, like, four decades. So, really, what should he expect from that organization?

PilotX said...

True but if he identifies as a Republican it's his job to set things right within his own party. Instead of grousing about who gets to sit a the cool kids table he should plop himself down with Rand and/or Nikki. I'm sure they'll take his calls. He knew going into this game it wasnt going to be easy or popular. That's why they pay him the big bucks.

Brother Pilot X... I like that statement: "be the change you desire". We have tried to co-exist with one party and the results have been counter-productive to our needs. wherein most programs are beneficial to our basic needs, the progressive needs have not been met, as evidenced by the high (and outrageous) unemployment, lower educated and the high penal participation.I know a lot of Blacks have stayed with the Democrat Party because they were there when we were not allowed to have any prosperity. Yes...there always were those to whom favor was given from the majority.

PLEASE TELL ME I AM WRONG> Did i see one of the running backs from VA Tech (vr. Ohio State) have on a rolex watch while he performed on field? I usually listen to other media during these college football games.I would like to see before the end a HBCU get a stable of hor.... I mean athletes so they can be on the big stage. I have never seen ESPN drop a football game at halftime to go to some other sporting event. This weekend South Carolina State University was playing Arkansas- Pine Bluff when their game was dropped at halftime, albeit a late start due to lightning in Orlando. ESPN OWE the Black race the utmost respect. If it were not for Blacks their 24 hours of sports can be reduced to 1-2 hours if they depended on the other races sports. NO MALICE INTENDED. College football and basketball is what America do. Brought to you by a pool of men/women seeking just to "see me" on TV.

Now to end and get back on subject. I have four brothers and when we get together the conversation tend to have each side (2 bros. + 2 bros.) entrenched with their party. I always have to remind them, don't argue over which party is the best. Neither one has worked to make our lives any better. Give you just enough to keep coming back.

Pilot, u speak some truths.

I know some repubs here in Philly who really care about their community,but they never get financial support from their party when they try to run campaigns. Why is that?

Because Philly precincts get 110% tunout with 100% votes for Obama.

Why should Repubs waste money on a district that is owned and run by their opponents?

Anonymous said...

Anon 10:03 AM, it is curious that Philadelphia Democrats are able to produce more than 100 percent of registered voters in precincts in which the turnout is generally miniscule anytime other time than an election in which the Democrats need a huge margin. Very curious.

Anonymous said...

Voter fraud, perhaps? Of course.

"On the night before Philly’s primary, four local election officials are accused of casting extra votes in order to balance their numbers.
Sandra Lee, 60, Alexia Harding, 22, James Collins, 69, and Gregory Thomas, 60, are all charged with voter fraud. Warrants for their arrests were issued Monday. All four suspects were election officials from Philly’s 18th Ward, 1st Division."

I agree brotha Panther but remember there are more than two parties. I am too far left to ever be a Republican but the Green Party is right in my wheelhouse and I have supported them financially and voted for their candidates more than a few times. If I decide to run for office it will probably be as a Greenie. It may be pie in the sky on the state and federal level but on a local level it may work. Bernie Sanders proved it.
