121. So, if Alan Keyes called out someone who was white

who talked about the racist application of the law in regard to things like stop and frisk - because Keyes is African-American, he has more authority to speak on this issue even when others who are African-American disagree?

But if Michelle Alexander were on the same program and called out Alan Keyes, since she has done a lot of excellent work on this subject...then it would be okay to tell Alan Keyes he's full of shit if he tried to claim law enforcement is not racist in its application in America?

I guess I don't have the same segregated view of who can have an opinion (backed up by data.)

Is Alan Keyes a person to tell African-Americans how to be a "proper minority" when he aligns with a party that is composed of homophobic and racist people - does the color of his skin confer automatic respect for his positions?

Martin Luther King's niece speaks out against abortion and claims his legacy to do so. MLK's wife disagrees and she supports planned parenthood.

But, if it's not another African-American, no one can disagree with MLK's niece because that's racist? Even tho others who are African-American disagree with her?

I guess that sort of logic sounds sort of like segregation. "Their" problems cannot be of importance to me because I don't have the proper skin tone.

I would not presume, again, to speak for any other minority's experience, but when people who are part of a minority have made statements on both sides of an issue - one side of the issue doesn't speak for all people who would be considered part of that minority.
