Being overly aggressive and attacking condiliesa is one thing. Attacking Andrew Young and other Black Elder Statesmen is another.

We fell into their trap. Even Black scholars and experts are starting to say the same thing I said. The Rethugs played the card and we fell for it.
I agree with the poster and thank them for their post.

I like the fact that Boxer, Kerry, Byrd, Dayton, and others spoke for me. They are the leaders in this fight. Let them take the hit. But when rank and file Liberals and Democrats including progressives and aggressive progressives like those here @ DU attack and call Andrew Young a sellout and a media whore I have to say wait a min. IS this the face you want to present to Black America. Watch out. Cuz if we get the whiff that this is where the Democratic party is headed under your direction then we can't play that.

Y'all may be able to do that to your elders but Black folk don't do that even when we disagree. We respectfully disagree.

So for Y'all who fell for it. Hope you like what ya get in return.

White Liberals say they are diverse but I've yet to see anyone here try to take the time to try and understand African Americans beyond what they think they already know. There seems to be an attitude of sit over there Mr Black Man and Mrs. Black Woman I know what's good for you. Well, Homey don't play dat people! Take time to listen and WISE UP and understand before shootin off your mouth where Beloved Black Leaders are concerned.
