Further Evidence of Why Blacks Reject the Conservative Movement
BENEATH THE SPIN • ERIC L. WATTREE

You’ve made my point of why Blacks reject the conservative movement much more profoundly than I ever could. This is a keeper.
Reni, I can’t help but wonder where you got your statistics. Did you simply snatch them out of thin air, or were you informed by Glenn Beck and FOX News? That’s another reason that Blacks reject conservatives, by the way – you tend to lie a lot. Here are the actual facts:
Among households with a single-race black householder, the percentage that contained a family. There were 8.6 million black family households.
44%
Among families with single-race black householders, the percentage that were married couples.
44%
Nationally, the percentage of households with a householder who was single-race black who lived in owner-occupied homes.
84%
Among blacks 25 and older, the proportion who had at least a high school diploma in 2009.
19%
Percentage of blacks 25 and older who had a bachelor’s degree or higher in 2009.
So again, Reni, I want to thank you so much for this response. I couldn’t have gotten a more powerful reinforcement of my thesis if I had gone out and purchased it. So of course, I’ll be posting it liberally (forgive the pun) on the net to see just how many Americans agree with you. I would love to see your views become a subject of national debate, because I’m sure it would open Americana’s eyes to exactly what we’re dealing with inside the GOP.
Take your contention that “74% [of Black people] don’t know who their fathers are,” for example. That’s a radical conservative gem, since according to the U.S. Census Bureau 64% of Black children are likely to be living with their father, or at the very least, 44%. So that’s a lie that ranks right up there with “death panels.”
At this point I could go into an in depth analysis of the gross dysfunction of both your motivation and thinking. Or alternatively, I could respond as “the angry Black man,” which I’m sure is what you sought. But contrary to what seems to be popular belief in your circle, MOST Black men do more thinking than they do feeling under these circumstances – that’s how we’ve managed to survive.
Most Black people were taught at an early age that in order for you to show that you’re superior to me, you’re also going to have to show that you can out think me. You see, God made birds to fly, fish to swim, and man to think. President Obama is doing a fine job of demonstrating that principle, and I’m sure he’s having a great time with it. That’s one of the reasons he’s so reviled in your circle. He constitutes a direct threat to your delusion of grandeur. But I don’t think you even realize that – at least, on a conscious level.
So I’m not going to taint what is surely to become a monument to radical conservative thought with my own commentary. I going to allow your racist and inefficient thinking to sink under the weight of its very own profound stupidity.
Sincerely yours, and with deep regards to your incredible shortsightedness,
Eric L. Wattree

The guy’s an ass…I told a black guy at work a couple of yrs ago that one of the great things about his people was that they ” have an inherent scepticism and suspicion towards the oligarchy that runs this country..” I further told him that over the past several yrs I found myself more likely to agree w/a blk or Mexican guy when it comes to foreign policy, economics than the avg anglo..Many whites are still deluded by the illusion of privilege and propaganda ( Fox, Rush, etc ) that they don’t see that WE’RE ALL getting poorer, we’re all losing our jobs, driving “25 yr old cars”..driving 100 miles for a job that pays less than what we made 10 yrs ago, “measly paychecks”..They don’t realize that the country DOESN”T belong to them; it belongs to Wall St speculators and bankers, stockholders, multi-national corps, big for-profit insurance co.’s, AIPAC and JINSA, Halliburton, BP and Bechtel and McDonnel Douglas, Northrop Grumman and Blackwater..the Koch bros, Murdoch..
The difference between most progressives – both Black and White – and radical conservatives is that progressives love this country unconditionally, in spite of what we know it to be. We’re determined to take what we’ve got and then try to make it better. But it seems that the radical conservative love of this country is conditional. In order for them to love it, America must embrace the mythical contrivances of their revised history and fully support, without question, their delusions of grandeur.
It belongs to the Merhav Group, Larry Silverstein and the Bush crime family, the Merhav Group getting their pipeline across Afghanistan, the lieing controlled media..Rahm Emmanuel and the next planned false-flag in Chicago..etc
It belongs to Goldman Sachs and AIG..Dominic Suter and all his demo boys at Urban Moving Systems, Dov Zakheim misplacing $2.3 Trillion at the Pentagon, Phil Zelikow’and his corrupt Warren..er, 9-11 Commission..a CIA that couldn’t wait to re-partner with drug lords in Afghanistan. Where’s this guy been the past ten yrs?
And it perhaps mostly belongs to the owners of the privately owned central bank aka “the Fed..”
Good retort, E. This woman (man?) has to be a shill. I know of no American who has those views. Of course, I’ve led an uncloseted life.
No, I did know one guy back in the early Nam era. He was a big old dude who decided to pick on a sharper young grunt, who just happened to have dark skin. The big dude was going to give the sharp dude, “white eye” for some perceived transgression or other.
I intervened, picked the big dude up and carried him over my shoulder–him screaming, “put me down, put me down”! I packed his bony ass outside and dumped him face-down in the rainy mud, and threatened to drown him unless he grew up, mended his ways and apologized to our sharp dude brother. Funny how a little “mud in the pie hole” worked.
Semper Fi, Marine!

I agree blacks have destroyed this country and they are the reason we never evolved
into a great nation. We have to feed and clothe 30 million lazy ass blacks that dont want to work and dont know who their daddy is. We could save this country by sending their asses back to Africa and sending the Mexicans back to Mexico closing our borders and live in peace and harmony imagine a white america for whites only
Hey Pepe,
Spoken like a true fascist. It sounds to me like you’re the one who doesn’t belong here. You’re views are un-American. Aren’t you smart enough to see that? If America was filled with people with your mentality, it would no longer be America.
Even if you got your wish that America was all White, with the kind of people that you represent, the right-handed people would start discriminating against everybody who was left-handed. You see, you’re suffering from an inferiority complex, and you probably lack talent, and you’re comment clearly demonstrates that you lack intellect. So due to your insecurity over your shortcomings as an individual, you have an innate need to feel like you’re a part of something special that’s bigger than yourself – being White. Psychology 101.
If you had any kind of brain at all, you’d realize that you’re advocating the very same philosophy that countless Americans died to abolish. So again, by definition, you’re un-American. Thus, every headstone in Arlington Cemetary attests to the fact that your very presence desecrates this veteran’s site.
pls save all that bs for someone else look at japan. They have a great society
bcs they didnt let hordes of third world savages in. little crime and high employment above average living standards. It’s called quality of life buddy. If we don’t send them back to Africa give them half a state and see how they do. Have you been to Atlanta. What a shithole. Anyway grow up so our kids can have a better future safe from mindless idiots that smoke blunts and drink 40 oz beer all day. Spreading diseases and having abortions like crazy. this is insane.
You know, Pepe,
A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Have you ever heard of a logical syllogism? You probably haven’t. That’s why you’re such an inefficient thinker. Your entire philosophy of life is based on an ILLOGICAL syllogism. Black people are like any other group. There are good and bad, brilliant and ignorant within our ranks, and your very existence suggests that the same is true among Whites. Yet, your thinking suggests the following:
All dogs have fleas. My cat has fleas. Therefore, my cat is a dog. That’s clearly inefficient thinking. But you continue to embrace that philosophy in spite of clear evidence to the contrary for the reasons cited in my previous post.
You have this gnawing need to feel superior in order to dress your wounds of insecurity. And the very existence of a Black man like myself is a direct assault on your delusions of grandeur. So you’re desperately trying to hold on to your self-esteem by insisting that you’re superior by virtue of your race, in spite of the fact that it’s abundantly clear that you’re nowhere close to my intellectual equal. I can handle people like you on one brain cell. It’s like dealing with a child – and you know it. Thus, all of your hostility.
Your delusional portrayal of ALL Black people are inconsistent with the facts. I’m a former Marine, and my son had a distinguished career in the Air Force, and he’s now a federal agent. The Air Force and several federal agencies were literally fighting over him. So tell me, Pepe, when was the last time America fought over you?:

MEMORANDUM FOR OFFICER TRAINING SCHOOL SELECTION COMMITTEE
FROM: 92 SFS/SFO
2 E. ARNOLD STREET
FAIRCHILD AFB, WA 99011
SUBJECT: Recommendation for Staff Sergeant Eric L. Wattree
1. I wholeheartedly concur with Staff Sergeant Wattree’s request to attend Officer Training School. He represents the enlisted ranks with the highest standard and will bring that dedication and professionalism to the officer corps.
2. Eric continues to lead a stellar military career; his enlisted performance reports speak for themselves. His leadership and experience, especially in contingency environments, remains a vital asset to our unit and wing. As one of my primary Phoenix Raven team leaders, he’s propelled to the forefront of all major deployments throughout the world. He’s repeatedly secured aircraft and crews, supporting a wide variety of missions, in the most austere and terrorist-ridden environments where security is severely inadequate. The diversity of these missions never limited SSgt Wattree’s capacity to adapt to each situation. For this reason, Eric was selected as our 2000 Outstanding Phoenix Raven Member of the Year and the 2001 Air Force Reserve Component Airman of the Year for the 92d Security Forces Squadron.
3. Whether operating under peacetime or contingency operations, Eric easily assumes control and tackles every situation with meticulous tenacity, a quality highly desired in our Air Force officers. Requested by name, Sergeant Wattree, provided security for presidential Banner missions throughout Greece, Peru and Viet Nam. While deployed to Afghanistan, he flew numerous combat missions in our nation’s pursuit to eradicate terrorism through Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. Additionally, he provided round-the-clock force protection for aircraft in other high-threat environments including Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Oman.
4. Sergeant Wattree motivated his personnel during the worst conditions and raised the level of esprit de corps to integrate personnel from other Air Force specialties into a cohesive team. His leadership, integrity and devotion to our Air Force play an integral part in our future leadership. Eric has what it takes to become a commissioned officer and earns my full support to attend Officer Training School.

I raised that young man. So I put forth the proposition that if America had more people like me and fewer like you, and whoever raised you, that this would be a much better country – and I have the evidence to back that up. What do you have?
Just as I thought. The silence is deafening.
Hey, Pep. I worked in the welfare department. Guess what? There are a lot of you guys on welfare. In fact a lot of them get medical assistance for their kids. See we don’t count resources for kids. That means houses, cars, boats, bank accounts etc. are exempt. People like you – white – would come in and look down their noses at the black, hispanic and lower class whites in the waiting room. Why did they look down on them? Because they worked and had just come in for medical assistance. All the workers made sure they knew they were getting “WELFARE”. And you got a lot of nerve anyway. This isn’t your country. You killed the people who lived here and stole the land. If you want to save America, go back to the land of your ancestors.
Oh and Pep. I personally wish your people had never set foot on African soil.
The dividers and thier corporate backers like nothing more then to have us working class and middle class groups, races, ethnic minorities fighting each other while they laugh all the way to the bank and we working folks slip futher down the ladder. MLK and Jesse Jacksons Rainbow Coalition and like ideas and groups are the biggest threat to them. One thing I found out while belonging to a couple different labor unions over the years was that they almost always were integrated. One of the last bastions of Unions is in Fed., State, and Local Governments and they are usually a diverse groups of working folks and none of them are getting rich but they usually get fair wages. This whole thing is starting to sound like a more intensified class struggle. It seems we have gone back in time to try and recreate fairness, sharing and justice again. Hopefully they wont try to end the Child Labor Laws and other rights.
Just give ‘em time, Tim.
A union is like a squad: it doesn’t matter what color a guy is (or girl) when they got your back.
And the racist nutjob obviously no musician: never heard of Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk and about a million other musical geniuses who we are mightly privileged to have had as American citizens. Jazz too is like a squad: white, black, what difference if the cat can swing? None, man.
Not to mention Dexter Gordon, Jackie McLean, Bud Powell and Bird.
Good analogy Bob. My first two cross cultural, cross race experiences were first in Vietnam in a squad in the field with the First Air Cav. The second was playing music in Southern Calif. with the same attitude of covering each others back only this time with a bass instead of an M-16.
I’ll come right out and SAY it:
Anybody still supporting the Conservative Movement after the 8 years George W Bush spent destroying the country has NOTHING between his ears to brag about.
There’s no dumb like that kind of dumb.
