Asserts Constructive Feedback, a conservative blogger in metro Atlanta, Ga.: "On the subject of the crackdown on illegal immigration I read a Black person's views in which he said 'we are on the verge of a MAJORITY MINORITY nation and should not allow the divide and conquer strategy to work against us'. This is an example of this very same mindset. The mindset has us conditioned to be in a constant fight against some outside threat. The major benefit of this mindset is its unifying effect. It is a failure when it comes to developing organic competencies. The fact that the external enemy is such an important component of the unified group's actions and consciousness means that they are 'beside themselves', unaware of what they should do next when they slip up and find themselves victorious but all alone."
He continues his commentary: "As I listen to people who tell us to 'vote our race' I can't help but notice that those who are making this pronouncement are always within the 'correct consciousness' and are fully vetted. Thus their call for voting as a racial bloc is merely a demand for unity and the forward projection of the prevailing viewpoint. With this unity comes a certain amount of repression of divergent opinions and much worse - questioning of the prevailing agenda. This agenda is ubiquitously leftist in nature. The stance is against the power structure which they say is oppressing them. They seem unable to note the need for transition when 'their guy' is now in power in city hall or in the White House. 'Their guy' need not be Black. Instead he/she is a leftist progressive of any color who shares the same theories on government."
More: "The main flaw in this drive is that they are unable to fully leverage the equal human resources that are abundant within the Black community. After placing the favorable person into power locally these activists and political groups that have assisted in this end exhibit a low level of proven ability to actually translate this potential into actual benefit. As the grievances continue they merely ramp up their activism against some external adversary, demanding that they receive the funding to allow them to be successful."
