The Color Of The Right
by: Thomas Lee Watts

A Colored Man's View

This is my first column for RepublicanPress.com and I am a bit
apprehensive about it. I don't know why, since I have written books
such as: This Ain't No Watermelon Party, and Black, Afro-American, Or
Just Plain Colored, and also I have had a radio program with Brother
Merv Kilgore called, 'The Brother Merv and Colored Guy Radio Hour.' I am
still a bit nervous, even with all this experience under my belt,
because everyone knows that RepublicanPress.com sets the conservative
standard of excellence.

It makes me so angry the way the Democrats have perpetuated the
stereotype that they are the only ones who care for blacks in the United
States. Just the other day I was bouncing my young nephew on my knee
telling him the story about how the liberals have the Civil War all
wrong. The Civil War wasn't about slavery, besides, most of the slaves
were grateful to their white masters. I was telling him about how fine
Americans like Strom Thurmond and Trent Lott have made this country
strong. All of the sudden my nephew looked at me with the curious eyes
of a child and asked, "Uncle Tom, why do you vote Republican?" I nearly
choked on my chitlins! That is why I have taken this job with
RepublicanPress.com, to educate the masses who are brainwashed by the
liberal media!

First I want to tell you about me. I was born in Big Cock, Alabama. My
father, Dephi Greenhold Watts was a sharecropper with ten kids, and I am
the last of the kids. My mother, Hootie Sugarpuddin Watts, still lives
with my father after 68 years of marriage in the same old tar paper
shack in Big Cock. They are both proud people and have never asked me
for anything or any money. I admire them for not asking for hand-outs. I
haven't been back to Big Cock since I became successful, and I don't
keep in contact with any of my family. As a conservative, I am the
outcast. I don't adhere to the philosophy that all blacks should be
democrats.

I have gotten where I am today through hard work and discipline. I went
to college by the way of hard work, discipline, duty, honor, and by the
way of several minority federal grants. There was no government program
for me I did it all on my own. Sure, I took the government grants but I
did it on my own! I worked hard to obtain those grants and I made it on
my own. I didn't wait for good old Uncle Sam to give me anything. No, I
earned my quota at Stanford!

We colored people have for too long waited on the liberals. We have
given into the notion of all this liberal talk of "fairness" and
"equality" and "Civil Rights." Hey, my daddy was a share cropper, not a
slave! ( Grandfather, Temon Toenail Watts, was a slave but that was a
long time ago, and as they say down south, "Those days are best
forgotten." ) The government or the white man doesn't owe me anything.

I have moved onward and upward because I don't toe the liberal line. I
have many white collar, white bread friends. As a matter of fact I
married a white girl. I have succeeded in life, because I know that I
am responsible for me and mine. I know that the white man doesn't owe
me. I know that I am colored but I am white at heart. ( I get angry at
colored people who want to be called Afro-American. I don't call my
white friends English-American, or Dutch-American, or German-American,
or Canadian-American. So why should colored people be called Afro-American?)

The color of our skin should not be the way we get hand-outs from Uncle
Sam. We colored people already enjoy the benefits from being natural
athletes, and our people receive many scholarships to college by way of
our athleticism. We coloreds also have the gift of music and dancing. We
coloreds don't need to be given special rights over our white brothers
and sisters. We coloreds just need to learn the value of hard work and
discipline and trust that the white people will look out for us!

I have learned that the Republican party cares for colored people. They
care about us, and they want us to learn about helping ourselves. There
is an old American Indian saying that says, "Give a man a fish and he
will eat it, but teach that bastard to fish, and he will never show up
for work on time. Give a man a lesson in the school of hard knocks and
he will beg no more." That is the lesson the Republican Party wants us,
the colored people, to learn. They want us, the colored people, to pull
ourselves up by our own bootstraps. They want us, the colored people, to
do for ourselves and not wait for a government hand-out! That's why this
colored man is a Republican!

I am colored and I am a Republican. I am colored and I have a white
wife. I am colored and I am very wealthy. I am colored, and I am
conservative! I am colored, but I don't carry a chip on my shoulder
about whitey. I know that the white man has never mistreated any other
non-white race of people.

So the next time some liberal Democrat knocks on your door tell them
that you are your own colored man. We coloreds don't need the government
to make a living. All we need is to make a living is hard work!
