Blacks Not As Dumb As Conservatives Like To Think

Republicans, Conservatives, Klanners, and Faux American Nazis, take notice. One of your big myths that you stroke yourselves with has always been that black people are dumber than you.

Now there’s absolute proof that you’re wrong, and that there really isn’t anyone dumber than you.

Front page of today’s Globe, lead story. Black enlistment in the military down by 58 percent over the last  six years.

Blacks aren’t so stupid, are they? They can read. They can make political judgments. They know a bad deal when they see one. They know a sleazy, lying President and a sleazy, lying Republican party when they see them. 

And hell, even white enlistment is down, but only by ten percent.

Could it possibly be that young people see right through the crap the Bush administration is throwing out there?

Can they be looking at multiple extended combat tours? Failed veteran’s healthcare systems that treat vets like dirt? Bush lies about ‘progress’ in Iraq? Iraqi lies about ‘progress’ in Iraq? Rich people not paying taxes? Wealthy white kids (like Romney’s five little hypocrites) not signing up while flapping their mouths to support the death and destruction in Bush’s wars? Incompetent and politicized military leadership?

And where are the kids of Congressmen? Not in Iraq, that’s for damn sure, and especially not the kids of Republican Congressmen who support the war.

Could it be that the economically and educationally and racially disadvantaged among us realize that the so-called war on terror is really a war by the United States government on its own people?

If so, they’re way ahead of the white middle class, and way way far ahead of anyone calling themselves a Republican or a Conservative.
