From the "brothers" who are so busily chasing white women and downing us while they do it. Then, they come to us and try to tell us that we're not good enough because we "don't have manners", or "are too demanding", or some other nonsense. All of this as we are seeing with our own eyes how they end up kowtowing to spoiled beckys who've had it their way all their lives and expect good - no, superior - treatment from their man.
Now, we have educated, mannerly, superior sisters who are alone because black men are now believing the lies and the excuses that they have made up for their behavior. Let's face it, many brothers are still caught up in the self-hate thing while many sisters have moved on to achievement for its own sake and not so they can get themselves a "trophy" to make them feel as though they have "made it."
Although this educated becky has bought into the lie, I'm finding it hard to come down on her too much because she has been led to believe that white women are superior by the example of the IR relationships she sees around her and because she has been TOLD this lie. However, she is an adult and capable of independent thought and I would label her a racist fool if she does not re-think her ideas about black women after receiving the responses that she got.
I feel the same way about black men - yes, slavery, etc. taught that white women were supposed to be superior to black women BUT as adult human beings with minds of their own, BLACK MEN ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ATTITUDES. Bright and educated black men especially have no excuse for continuing to buy into the myth. If they have to look a little harder to find a black woman who meets their standards, so what? We have had to look longer and harder for decent brothers who are not simply looking for a free ride.
BTW, I pity the fool (male) who comes in this thread and tries - yet again - to justify this behavior 'cause I know he will leave with a new sphincter, ladies.

The white poor and working class has been duped by reactionary ideology (racism included) for decades and even centuries. This deception has been the work of an avaricious plutocracy, whether Southern or Northern, Democrat or Republican.
That is why I agree with Dr. King in not laying the heaviest burdern of responsibility at the doorsteps of the white poor and working class--exploited as are we (even if not as blatantly) by an exploitative elite.
Yet at various points in history, at least a significant segment of the white working class did see through the hype, and formed solidarity with black, brown, Asians ans other fellow oppressed.
And note that while a majority of whites did vote for McCain/Palin in 2008, something like 45% voted for Obama/Biden--apparently disgusted with right wing Republican politics. That's the largest part of the white electorate won since Lyndon Johnson.
Too bad Obama hasn't shown the backbone needed to be the "Black FDR", but has caved in repeatedly to the party he defeated in 2008.
He simply didn't get it. If the public--whites included--wanted Republican policies, they would have voted for McCain. By means of strong progressive leadership, he could have won over even part of the white voters who went for McCain. He blew it.

This just goes to show everyone the open disrespect of black people within MANY within the GOP AND P___ PARTY......They want Herman Cain to feel worse for pointing out the obvious gutter rat level racist mentality of a man who wants to represent ALL Americans, including blacks...than they do for a scum candidate with a n____ shooting ranch. SILLY.
PERRY NOT ONLY PLAYED THE RACE CARD, HE OPENED THE RACE CARD FACTORY.
IF THE MAN HAD ANY RESPECT....HE WOULD HAVE ERASED THAT N____HEAD CRAP WAY BEFORE EVER ENTERING POLITICS

I'm not terribly interested in seeing Marxism come to America, though there will always be some Americans who are Marxists.
I am inerested in seeing a cooperative democratic and post-capitalist society in America.
That CAN happen, and quite possibly the only alternative to that is fascism. The electronic revolution means that labor is becoming obsolete to the production of wealth for the capitalists. Hence they have no great need to allow a stable working class where there is no stable employment. The survival of working people is not longer a necessity for capitalism. When labor replacing technology which, unlike the labor saving technology of the past, does away with labor then the rich will take the atttitude" Let them eat cake!"
The whole former contract with working people which recognized workers rights to collective bargaining as well a decent wages and working conditions, is no longer on the table.
As you no longer need people educated for non-existent jobs, education is gutted.
And ss welfare, which originally meant a safety net provided until temporarily displaced could get back on their feet has no value if worked is being abolished, it and other forms of social legislation are don away with as well.
But since people will not simply lay down and die, since they will eventually fight back--witness the anti-Wall Street revolt!--RERPESSIVE measures will have to be taken. The Patriot Act and otheer measure, whatever the justification offered, mainly prepare the way for fascistic repression.
I think that only a democraic cooperative society, based on a cooperative postcapitalist economy, can save American freedom and save us from universal destitution and political tyranny.
