Brendan Loy is discussing the eruption of a mini race war in the Democrat party over some recent remarks by the Clintons. One commenter had some nice things to say about this comment I made: It is time for Obama to have a Sistah Soljah moment.After praising my comment he went on to say that I was the first in the comments to point out that a lot of white men worked hard against slavery and Jim Crow. As we all know a lot of whites worked and died to end slavery. They were called abolitionists. It seems like these days that fact is an embarrassment to the Democrats and liberals who would like to brand whites as inherently racist for political advantage. This was my response to the kudos: Thanks for that. I think I should give a little history of myself to illustrate how this Republican (I came to it late in life) has always thought.It is time to end the "victimhood confers political advantage" crap. It is time people give up their resents for what happened in the past. As one commenter in a different blog commenting on the same subject said: When the only thing in your intellectual toolkit is a bludgeon, everything looks like a skull. - pst314 Nice turn of phrase that.
