Christians (R) Vs. Christians in name only (D)
I was always told when you see a cockroach scurrying across your living room floor, there are many, many more behind the baseboard. The one you see is merely one of their scouts and you are to make no assumptions it is the only one you have in your house.
Depending on interpretations, the deep brevity of the diaries of mka193 and ThisIsMyTime makes this Black ol’ timer remember that "White Citizens Council" organizations springing up back in the day were Democratic organizations. As of today, they are still around with various different names i.e., Democratic Party.
Also, back in the day, when we Blacks went to register to vote, the white person asking us to count the beans in a jar, count the number of soap bubbles on a bar of soap and to recite portions of the U.S. Constitution as part of the registration apparatus for Blacks was a Democrat.
I am ever mindful and with great lament sensitive to the feelings of Rev. King witnessing Democrats voting against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. It is my understanding he never got over it and his feelings were re-enforced by his wife, Coretta Scott King. Years later, I distinctly remember the now widdowed Ms. King talking about Congress slowly dismantling the Civil Rights Act.
And alas, last month, the group of people who helped tar and feather Rep. Charlie Rangel were Democrats. Lots of’em! Perhaps the title of this post should be “Why I am no longer a registered Democrat”. Enough said! My pressure's going up. Merry Christmas.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

Excerpt:
Well this all came to a head on Friday night when the inimitable Rainbow Girl played folks like a fiddle by posting a diary titled President Obama & Poor Americans of Color. Thanks to the intrepid Bob Johnson this diarist was unmasked as a 60 year old white woman posing as a "poor American of color."
And
Anyway, I found the entire Rainbow Girl masquerade to be fascinating. Here you had an unabashed racist 60 year old white woman "infiltrating" a progressive site in order to get progressives to tear each other apart. In the meantime, she got the added benefit of discrediting the black man in the White House. It was brilliant. It was Machiavellian. It was working.

BREAKING UPDATE: My Criticism To The Diary "President Obama & Poor Americans of Color"
by ThisIsMyTime
Excerpt:
I started writing it in a comment but I felt it is important that it gets as much visibility as the diary itself. It is a quick response to the diary "President Obama & Poor Americans of Color" which I feel uses poor black folks as a punching bag to continue this Obama hate feast that has been displayed in this community for quite sometime. And, it is very unfair and I will speak out about it quickly!

In the diary by Rainbow Girl, I note periodic episodes of inconsistent voicing per the amateur as follows and there are more:
Though times are tough across the nation and at almost every level of society in the present economy, the group which seems to be most deeply affected now are black Americans:
And
It is a very, very difficult fight. And for those people of color who are out there fighting for survival, things such as DADT repeal signing ceremonies -- however important they are -- mean little. But tax cuts for the wealthy mean a lot, particularly when one who is fighting for survival is being asked to overcome yet another obstacle by a man whom many felt would take away such obstacles, and not add to them, when we voted for him in 2008.
Think of the poor people this holiday season, please. You won't see us at the holiday parties. We probably won't come up in the discussions. But we are here, and many of us are not from the dominant population.
