Perhaps this message was also seared into the minds of black conservatives such as Elder, Thomas, Williams, Hamblin and others who are obviously clever enough to realize that being a black, anti-black race hustler is a road more likely to lead to financial "success" and overall influence than one might achieve by carrying the mantle of pro-black "activist."
Certainly I am ascribing easily-denied motives by insisting that financial consideration, rather than a genuine desire to uplift the race, is what pushes black reverse-race hustlers to promote views that – made by whites – would be appropriately considered racist. But it's an allowance that should be granted. After all, consider the broad-brush license encapsulated within assertions made by reverse-race hustlers like this one from Elder in Ten Things.
.
"To put it more bluntly, many blacks ... assume white bigotry and hostility towards blacks, and feel -- against all evidence -- that "white racism" remains a formidable obstacle. What nonsense."
The numerous poll results cited earlier seem to indicate that it may be Elder and others of his ilk who are spouting nonsense. They provide a distinct and measurable basis to support a contention that overall, America's black citizens are quite cognizant of the diminishing role that race plays in one's overall chance to succeed. This should be point of concern to reverse-race hustlers. Why? Because it appears that overall, increasing numbers of Americans are turning away from racial and other forms of rabble-rousing. Apparently, many so-called "ditto heads" moderating their views.
To wit: After a nationwide, sharply concerted and intensely message-focused effort, right-wing talk radio, a major vehicle for the promulgation of the kinds of viewpoints shared by reverse-race-hustlers, failed in its attempt at preventing Republican Sen. John McCain -- declared by rabble-rousing talkers like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity to be "too moderate" -- from attaining his party's presidential nomination.
Then of course there is President Bush, an avowed conservative who, although seemingly far removed from the race-hustler label, has enjoyed poster boy status among reverse race-hustlers' core group of supporters. Bush has experienced steady erosion in his approval rating which has descended from a high of 90 percent to fewer than 30.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama's odds at becoming America's first black president have been enhanced by the surprising level of support attained from rural white males -- a group which comprises a foundation of the support for reverse-race hustlers.
These events, together with hard statistical evidence, rather than pointless anecdotes, point to an America that is moving away from both racial polarization and from a susceptibility to the pointless racial pandering of race-hustlers of all stripes.
It also points to a need for Elder and company to begin a search for a new hustle.
