perversity and the black neo-con


every time I hear/read/see a black neo-con mouthing, I think: they are just being perverse.

so I've been thinking of the cause of perversity and have come up with: the perverse person wants to push somebody's buttons.

so whose buttons are black neo-cons pushing?

or am I the only one thinking perversity?

or, what is the cause of perversity if not spite?

8. They also
want power and money. So they'd vote against their own best intrest like the rest of them do. All they think about is money and power. It's all a corporation.

2. denial would be a better description
it would be like a jew or gypsy or gay person in a nazi regime claiming that his fellow jews or gypsies or gays were immoral and "wrong, not Right" because they weren't nazis too.

9. Many of them may be insincere and simply reesponding to market incentives.
Today would have been Malcolm X's 80th birthday. Malcolm X was fond of saying, "The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative."

White conservatives will readily hire and will readily promote blacks who appear to agree with them. Alas, the same cannot often be said for white liberals, even white liberals who run organizations that focus on issues critical to African-Americans.

You may be blaming the victim here.

10. It is racist to assume that a person should think a certain way
because of the color of his skin. There are white liberals, moderates, and conservatives. African-African are smart enough to form their own political opinions without is being assigned to them because of their genes.
