Duane Brayboy: "I Guess Emanuel Cleaver Thinks MLK Should've Hushed All That 'Content Of Their Character' Talk"

Content Of Character ethic: dead in 2012

The conservative blogger in Georgia slams Congressional Black Caucus chairman Emanuel Cleaver for admitting that the CBC lets U.S. President Barack Obama slide on his failed economic policies because he is black: "But here you have a congressman who has twice (the first time I’m aware of was back in 2011) acknowledged the racial double standard of Black folks and there has been no significant (if any) rebuke of his comments. Black commentators that cling to every word coming out of the mouths of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and....oh yes, Black conservatives for any morsel of inaccuracy about Black people have now twice listen[e]d to Cleaver’s assertions, shrugged their shoulders and said 'And?'."

More: "From the time Obama was nominated by his party to today, the racial double standard has been the backbone of his support from the Black community. Cleaver’s public admission is only telling because he is comfortable saying it. But it has been around for a long time. This is exactly why you will never win any sound political debate amongst most Black folks when it comes to Obama. They will push and prod you to offer proof of your assertions (never mind the fact that we have the Internet and practically anything can be found in seconds). And once you give them the all important research links, they either go ghost from the conversation or simply offer another round of questions."
