Let's try to be less coy and slightly more sophisticated about the economic and political implications of this "class" of voter/citizens, shall we?
put another way: let's put aside "old" racist terminology which is both inept and, culturally speaking, irrelevant in a nation that now accommodates "wiggers" while institutionalizing productivity and cost of slave labor to valorize capitalism, the absolute goodness of accumulated wealth, be it corporate or private.
i prefer post-black, the "bottom" 90% of the US tax base. to appreciate this label is to have a grasp of modernist ideologues in all dimensions of US "growth" throughout the 20th century and neocon political economy in governance for the "21st century". PNAC lit is figuratively "show ass" for all to see.
the actualized minority's modernist legacy in a nutshell is manipulating "middle class," or (more ancien) "bourgeios," pretention to power to "buffer" (zinn) cathartic class warfare. duh. they have always used MSM and state-sanctioned military force to the hilt, when legitimated democratic process fail to sustain concretized controls. "black" folks have been easy targets historically b/c so few "whites" gave a shit about their symbolic and mechanical roles in the national economy. in fact, being "black" is the old black.
but AA migration to middle class status from LBJ's admin has catalyzed bogus partisan calculus: does anyone here remember stephen carter's seminal, shocking manifesto, Reflections of an Affirmative Action Baby (1992)? or <gak> The Culture of Disbelief?
for example, sharpton, conyers, dingell, dinkins are old school "blacks" whose canary songs of constitutional equity are strained, weakened -- ghosts of MLK not malcom fer kristssakes (cf. derrick bell, harvard; cornell west, various). richard parsons, wilder, rice, and powell are neocon poster babies, transitionals. ford, steele, obama, patrick, blackwell are hot this election cycle; but there are millions more who share their "beliefs". those beliefs are spot on GOP, contemporary conservatism.
wake the fuck up. you can't pretend to be "black"; you don't hafta (rhymes with NAFTA, CAFTA) need to "look black" (cf. h.ford) -- to recognize you are slave labor pumping blood into stock dividends you hope will fund your 401K.
canvass your hometown accordingly.
Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
