It's a fucked up problem, but it's our fucked up problem. We don't need any incorrect and ill-informed interpretations from someone like Tammy Bruce. And we sure as hell don't need a white woman saying that an educated black woman that enunciates and articulates clearly of having a "weird, fake accent."<BR/><BR/>And since when is telling children of color to achieve the best they can in their educational pursuits and offering your own successful experiences as an example, a problem for anyone, much less patronizing? Isn't that stuff that black conservative intellectuals like John McWhorter are always saying themselves or does that make them trash too?<BR/><BR/>My reply:<BR/><BR/>What is striking in all this is that all those black conservative Republicans are nowhere to be found on this matter. Aren't they the ones who have been arguing forever that the liberal culture has made mediocrity mainstream in the community? Aren't they the ones that the mediocrity has pushed them towards conservatism? Shouldn't they be up in arms defending Michelle Obama since she is very much like the ideal they envision, except that she is a Democrat? They can't go there, perhaps for that very reason, it would make them seem to actually like those Democrats, and they can't have that. No putting "skinfolk" before their "whitefolk."
