Why are you mentioning responsibility? What is he failing to take responsibility for?
I just don't follow your point or how you read into his post.
Heck, if one was born in Africa and comes to the good old usa, they are indeed African-Americans if they want to be hyphenized or just plain Americans if they don't. It is up to them I guess. If someone comes to America from China, Thailand, India, they are all Asian-Americans, why should someone from Africa be any different. All one has to do is look at a map.
The U.S., home to a large number of east-Indians, who were expelled from Africa by africans, where they lived for many generations. Call them-"African-Americans, it is an insult.
His post was about minorities rejecting the right. And the right's message is one of personal responsibility. If you still don't understand, then nevermind.
S/he's black on the inside. Note the knife-edged temperament and the sidelong sneer.Here's an interesting take on things. I think of race as B.S. It's something played on by people with an agenda. I think of us as humans. So this isn't a race ploy, I suppose I want to prove a point here.
Is a white of skin color, south african...that immigrates to the United States....now considered an African American?
Put that in your pipe and smoke it race baiters on both sides.
I understand your post better, but the GOP stands for a lot of stuff. Not voting GOP doesn't prove anybody fails to take responsibility in life.
Not the white South Africans I've met.

Doesn't prove they're not responsible but it proves the message of personal responsibility doesn't resonate with them. That's what Romney was trying to explain during his 47 percent gaff that was taken out of context so badly. The right's message just isn't going to resonate with certain demographic groups.
Don't look now, but your message of intolerance and arrogance is indeed getting through .. which is why the right is almost completely white.
Don't look now, but nobody is buying the ruse about 'responsibility' and republicans poll lower than Obama and Obamacare. Do you think that's just happenstance?
I've asked what about republican attempts to disenfranchise non-white voters .. you've yet to respond.
The republicans haven't DIS-enfranchised non-white voters. Tightening up on immigration policy shouldn't "disenfranchise" Hispanics. Seeking more welfare reform shouldn't disenfranchise black voters. And what do you think the republican party did to disenfranchise asian voters? Nothing.
Now, granted, people collecting feckin' welfare might not be very happy with the republican party but that shouldn't be disenfranchising "non-whites" should it? I'm half Cuban. I'm considered "non-white". I only vote republican because there's no way I could possibly vote for the race-baiting, welfare-loving, tree-hugging, gun-grabbing, personal responsibility hating democrats and all their crap propaganda. Republicans have been ineffective but simply not being democrats is good enough to get my vote until there's something better.
Hey... if you equate personal responsibility with intolerance, then that's your problem and it explains why you side with the party that gave us the food stamp president.
You're a Cuban American .. and you vote like most Cuban-Americans.
Would you like to see the percentages non-whites vote for republicans in? Or are you resigned to blame them for not supporting a political party that consistently attempts to disenfranchise their votes. There is no sane argument that they don't.
How about gays? How welcome have republicans been to that large segment of the electorate?
How about women? are they also resistant to republicans talking about 'responsibility' .. or do they resist because of republican policies and agenda that is not in their interests?
If you feel comfortable blaming every other segment of society for republican failure to connect to those demographics, that's fine with me brother. I don't want to see republicans win another national election in my lifetime .. and republicans blaming everyone else instead of genuinely reach out will get me just what I want.
We'll just have to disagree on that.
Gays? Are gays "non white" now? I support the position of states rights on homosexual marriage. If a state doesn't want to sanction homosexual marriage, it shouldn't have to. But let's get back to what republicans are doing to non-whites.....
I'm waiting for the list of things those evil republicans are doing to my black, hispanic and asian brothers and sisters. What specific policies are disenfranchising the non-whites. Be specific.
And what sort of "reach out" would tickle the poor little hearts of those "non-whites"? Again, be specific. What do republicans have to do to make the "non-whites" feel the love?

That's what I thought. The old "asking for ID is disenfranchising minority voters" schtick.
I suppose you have to rationalize things however you have to rationalize things to keep from admitting that it has anything to do with the fact that so many "minorities" are repulsed by the message of personal responsibility, smaller government, tighter immigration policy, less welfare and no favoritism or affirmative action for minority special interests.
:0) More of the same 'responsibility' BS.
I asked, you didn't answer .. the 'responsibility' of Swarzenegger .. or maybe Newt Gingrich, Larry Craig, John Ensign, Mark Sanford, David Vitter, Mark Foley, Philip Giordano, Bob Packwood, William "Wild Bill" Janklow ... I could go on .. and on.
This has been a good conversation brother, I've enjoyed it.
thanks
It's been interesting.
I've never met a white South African with a bone in their nose, face paint, who believed witchcraft or practiced strange and ancient tribal traditions.
It's an insult to Africans, and humanity's intelligence in general, that you cannot perceive the difference between someone who has lived in Africa for a couple generations and someone with African heritage in their culture.
All the white South Africans I've ever known (spent quite a bit of time with one in Europe) have been the same thing as Europeans culturally. I knew a 3rd generation white Zimbabwean and - guess what... you'd never know by meeting him. Not the slightest difference between him and the Euros. A couple generations in Africa does not make one African.
What kind of Euro moves to Africa and adopts African culture?! None. Get a ****ing clue.
and I suppose all the White Americans you've met are exactly like all the white Europeans you've met...
Exactly which African culture is African culture?
Sigh, we all have African culture.
That's what africans do to qualify?
Sigh, we all have African culture. It's an insult to humanity to assume that which developed after leaving Africa is more important than that which developed before leaving Africa.
and I suppose all the White Americans you've met are exactly like all the white Europeans you've met...
Exactly which African culture is African culture?
