Good drop. This article reminds me of the Progressive movement in the early 20th century. It was all good, as long as those "progressive" people didn't have to face the same problems at home. From the article:
As the Urban League’s executive director Whitney Young put it a few years later, “liberalism seems to be related to the distance people are from the problem.”

From the article.... More recently, as more groups—evangelicals, gays and lesbians, and gun owners, among them—lobby for specific policies, black voters have seen their interests deemed too “special” for consideration by a democratic administration.......
They forgot to mention Hispanics and Illegal Immigration(now have to call them migrants or undocumented). But everyone is getting things addressed except the black community. Black voters too busy worrying about what's good for the party instead of telling the party what to do.

There's a show on Sirius XM Progressive called "Make It Plain" hosted by a brother whose name escapes me. This white lady called in and said that it may be time for us to hold the party accountable, even if it means some of them losing seats to get the message. Dude said something like, "Welcome to our world! We know they don't care about us, but we can't NOT vote for them and they know it, so we just learn to smile and take it."
The white chick couldn't wrap her head around that.

Man, something has to give.
Mark has the same attitude I have "anyone as long as they are blue"....sitting back and protest voting isn't going to help anyone.
Vote republican then. Help remove the last barriers preventing deadly racism sweeping back across the country.
It's happening now. White people feeling empowered by the Republican Party and laws passed by republicans to accomplish it.
Arm yourselfs. These wise people had been watching this group intimidate other mosques and took action before they showed up at theirs.
Anti-Muslim protesters from the Bureau of American Islamic Relations turned up at a Nation of Islam Mosque in Dallas with rifles and clad in skeleton masks to confront members of the New Black Panther Party
hundreds of black activists meant the group were outnumbered as they lined up behind barricades on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. They were eventually told to leave by police
