[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was fresh out of college and in my first real job in DC back then. I totally didn't understand the Barry thing. And African-American colleague of mine (I am white) said, "You'll never understand, he's one of us."

Yep, didn't see the appeal...[/quote]

Who is this unnamed spokesmen for all black people that white people always refer to in their stories to make a point?

[i]“Well I had a black friend/colleague/neighbor/classmate testify of what all blacks are thinking about such-and-such...”[/i]

:roll: Really?!!!

So is it just one guy or are there several of these official delegates of black culture and opinions wandering around the country having hush meetings with white folks to cue them in on black sentiments?  
What is with all the secrecy how come no one ever mentions these appointed agents names can I talk to one of these guys cause I’d like to know who appointed them and I’d like to know how do they get their intel of what ALL blacks think.

Is George Orwell’s “1984” now a reality with the thought police, are chips embedded in AA’s heads monitoring their thoughts?
Somebody explain why is it that blacks cannot be individuals and have their own unique personal feelings and opinions and perspectives?
Why do blacks always get thrown into a collective so if you heard so-and-so, who is black, say something well then that must be the attitude of all blacks?[/quote]
