        Michael Steele, and probably most all intelligent people, regardless of race, agree with CNN's depiction of Kanye West. If you listened to his rant in the oval office you'd know that Kanye is a nut case and that the other nut case, i.e. Trump, is just using him because he thinks black people are stupid enough to fall for his con and will support him simply because he has a black celebrity (nut case though he be) supporting him..

          Yeah!
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  Perhaps it would be best if I remind some of the folks here of the blatant racism directed at black conservatives by liberals for the sin of wandering off the plantation that they established for them. Since I mentioned Condoleeza Rice first let's start with her.


                  Los Angeles Times' political cartoonist Jeff Danziger depicted her as the barely literate/ebonics-speaking, "Gone with the Wind" mammy-like character "Prissy" nursing the aluminum tubes cited by the Bush's Administration as evidence of Iraq’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. Danziger tried to deflect criticism from conservatives by claiming that the idea for his cartoon was suggested to him by some unnamed "black friend" and therefore wasn't racist. The rest of his claim underlies his deceit. He asserts that Rice "happens to be African-American" as if he were depicting her without regard to race. Bullfeathers. It is only because she is black that it makes any sense to draw her as a racist stereotype from "Gone with the Wind" –- and drawing her that way does not in any way make fun of her politics, it just makes fun of her race.

                  But it was nearly completely ignored because Rice is conservative.

                  Then there are the depictions by the Boston Globe's Pat Oliphant (twice) as a dark-skinned big-lipped parrot shortly after she was nominated to become Secretary of State. To be fair, it's a cartoonists' job to exaggerate features of people they draw, but the fact is that Rice doesn't have particularly full lips, so you would think he could have drawn Rice without resorting to a racist big-lipped caricature of blacks. In fact, in order to communicate convincingly the image of Rice, Oliphant needs to select specific features that are immediately recognizable by the largest possible audience. An obvious target would have been her unique hairstyle of the time, but Oliphant instead picked big lips because they have long been used as a way of communicating the racist idea that blacks are buffoons (i.e., Rice is dismissed as a buffoon). It is a physical feature exaggerated to communicate not only a certain race but also negative presumptions about the race.

                  But it was nearly completely ignored because Rice is conservative.

                  Next, there is the former President of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, Ted Rall, who depicted the then-Secretary of State as being sent to an inner-city racial re-education camp where she claims that she was Bush’s "house nigga." Rall, a white male, was accused of racism by Project 21, an organization that describes itself as "The National Leadership Network of Black Conservatives"

                  But it was nearly completely ignored because Rice is conservative.

                  Similarly, the late liberal syndicated radio talk show host Neil Rogers (WQAM in South Florida) commissioned and continuously played a song about Rice done to the tune of Nat King Cole’s classic "Mona Lisa," mocking black’s speech patterns and containing racist slurs and described her as a "black-haired answer-mammy" who "cleans all the White House bathrooms." Entitled “Condolezza,” the song includes the following lyrics:

                  "Is you there 'cause you a high-toned public Negro?
                  Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart?
                  Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza?
                  Or the way you wash and park the whitey's cars.

                  Georgie junior says he trusts you, Condoleezza.
                  Who said our [unintelligible] off the greedy oil woes.
                  But then he make you clean all the White House bathrooms.
                  The public sink, the toilet and let's scrub the floors."

                  The NAACP, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton... none of the usual suspects, ever asked for Rogers to be yanked off the air (which they would if Condolezza Rice was a liberal) much less even bothered to ask for a simple apology. It was, say it with me now, nearly completely ignored because Rice is conservative.

                  Then there is the poet laureate of New Jersey, Amiri Baraka (a.k.a., Everett LeRoi Jones, Imamu Amear Baraka), who wrote a poem blaming the Jews for the 9/11 terrorist attacks ("Who told 4000 Israeli workers at the Twin Towers to stay home that day? Why did Sharon stay away?") where he also attacked not only Rice but Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Secretary of State Colin Powell as well in one of his tax-payer sponsored "poems":

                  Who do Tom Ass Clarence Work for
                  Who doo doo come out the Colon's mouth
                  Who know what kind of Skeeza is a Condoleeza

                  Once again, imagine the reaction if a conservative had said similar things about liberal blacks.


                  The next one I mentioned was the considerably lesser known former Maryland Lt. Governor and RNC chairman Michael S. Steele (who liberals pelted with Oreo cookies, called an "Uncle Tom" and depicted as a black-faced minstrel). Boston Globe movie critic Wesley Morris likened the House Negro in D’Jango Unchained, played by Samuel L. Jackson, to Steele.

                  And then there was this image of him circulated on liberal websites (next to an actual picture)


                  Not only was there no outcry, but liberal blacks made it clear they approved of such treatment!

                  Liberal black leaders responded to objections from Steele by saying that there is nothing wrong with what they called "pointing out the obvious." A campaign spokesman for Kweisi Mfume, a 5-term Democratic Congressman and candidate for the U.S. Senate as well as the former president of the NAACP, proclaimed that "There is a difference between pointing out the obvious and calling someone names." Mfume never rejected the statement or asked his aide to apologize or retract his statement.

                  Likewise, Maryland State Senator Lisa A. Gladden, a black Baltimore Democrat, said that she doesn’t expect her party to pull any punches including racial jabs at Mr. Steele: "If you are bold enough to run, you have to take whatever the voters are going to give you. It’s a democracy."

                  Delegate Salima Siler Marriott, a black Baltimore Democrat, claimed that Mr. Steele invited comparisons to a slave who loves his cruel master or a cookie that is white on the inside and black on the outside because his conservative philosophy is, in her view, anti-black. "Because he is a conservative, he is different than most public blacks, and he is different than most people in our community," (talk about stereotyping) she said. "His politics are not in the best interest of the masses of black people."


                  Perhaps I should provide another example. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

                  First off liberals have repeatedly proclaimed that Thomas isn't really black because he isn't liberal. There's that racist stereotyping from the left again. Far too many liberals commonly dismisses out-of-hand as an "inauthentic black" any black person whose world-view differs from their own. The insidious racist axiom here is that, "all blacks think alike," a laughably ridiculous concept that civil rights leaders would be quick to condemn if they were said by a conservative.

                  When Samuel Alito was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2005, the editorial staff of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel called for more diversity in the high court and declared that Clarence Thomas doesn’t count as black (he "deserves an asterisk because he doesn't represent the views of mainstream black America."). To the left being black isn’t about race it’s about political beliefs. And the left is very intolerant of any minority who doesn’t reside in their ideological plantation.

                  After Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's death in 2016[1], Congresswoman Karen Bass (D-Calif), indicated that Clarence Thomas wasn't an authentic black when she demanded that Scalia's replacement should be black, so as to give the Court an "African-American voice" which she said was lacking since Thurgood Marshall's time. “I think many people would like to see an African American on the Supreme Court,” Bass declared.

                  While discussing the views of Thomas Columbia University professor of African-American Studies and political scientist Manning Marable decided that "ethnically, Thomas has ceased being an African American"

                  From the podium of the 1995 National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) convention Thomas was repeatedly called a "pimp" and a "traitor" to the black community. The late Rev. Joseph Lowery of the Southern Christian Leadership Council (SCLC) intoned, "I have told [Thomas] that I am ashamed of him, because he is becoming to the black community what Benedict Arnold was to the nation he deserted; and what Judas Iscariot was to Jesus; a traitor; and what Brutus was to Caesar; an assassin."

                  The late columnist Carl Rowan snidely remarked that, "if you give Thomas a little flour on his face, you’d think you had [former Klansman] David Duke." Former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown called Thomas not only "a shill for the most insidious form of racism," but someone who's views are "legitimizing of the Klu Klux Klan." Brown added that Thomas should be shunned and "shut out" by the black community.

                  Jesse Jackson proclaimed that Thomas was an "enemy of civil rights" and likened Thomas to a member of the Ku Klux Klan asserting that, "At night, the enemies of civil rights strike in white sheets, burning crosses ... By day, they strike in black robes."

                  Georgetown professor and MSNBC regular Michael Eric Dyson declared on Martin Bashir in 2013 that Thomas is "a symbolic Jew has invited a metaphoric Hitler to commit holocaust and genocide upon his own people." The host, Martin Bashir (who would shortly resign after calling for someone to [vulgar term for defecate] in Sarah Palin's mouth) simply responded to this slur with a calm "thank you."

                  The November 1997 cover of Emerge magazine depicted Thomas as a smiling lawn jockey next to the caption: “Lawn Jockey for The Far Right.” Inside was artwork that depicted Thomas as a shoeshine boy for Justice Antonin Scalia. George Curry, who was editor-in-chief of Emerge, defended the drawings because he said they weren’t as bad as others he had seen or as bad as some remarks about Thomas he had heard. Imagine how far that defense would go if a conservative magazine had Obama depicted as a shoeshine boy for George Soros.

                  In 2014 Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss) called Thomas and other black conservatives "Uncle Tom[s]." When asked to clarify his remarks in light of the fact that the term is regarded racist, Thompson brushed it off saying it was legitimate because he isn't liberal and "voter ID, affirmative action, Affordable Care Act -- all those issues are very important and for someone in the court who’s African American and not sensitive to that is a real problem."

                  The late author and feminist activist June Jordan characterized Thomas as a "virulent Oreo phenomenon," a "punk-ass," and an "Uncle Tom calamity." Movie director Spike Lee called Thomas "a handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom."[2]

                  USA Today columnist and "Pacifica Radio" talk show host Julianne Malveaux[3] related her feelings toward Thomas on a 1994 episode of To the Contrary: "I hope his [Thomas’] wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter, and he dies early, like many black men do, of heart disease ... He’s an absolutely reprehensible person." How dare he be black and a conservative! He needs to die.

                  Interestingly, liberals openly despise Thomas because of his mixed race marriage. Thomas, who's wife is white, has been attacked on these grounds by liberals multiple times over the years.

                  Russell Adams, chairman of the Afro-American studies department at Howard University (America's most prominent black institution of higher learning) told the Washington Post, "His marrying of a white woman is a sign of his rejection of the black community. Great Justices have had community roots that served as a basis for understanding the Constitution. Clarence’s lack of a sense of community makes his nomination troubling." In defense of this the chairman of Howard's political science department, Ronald Walters, declared that he was sick and tired of hearing about the emergence of "black male conservatives who have exhibited a tendency toward interracial marriage." He then snidely added, "White conservatives are [Clarence Thomas's] ideological bedfellows, and his white conservative wife is literally his bedfellow."

                  Wow.

                  But that is hardly all.

                  Former U.S. Court of Appeals Judge the late A. Leon Higginbotham declared during a speech at New York University that Thomas is paving the way for the reinstituting white supremacy and asserted that his conservative views are a symptom of "racial self-hatred." He then went on to offer proof of his diagnoses -- that Thomas is married to a white woman. This, Higginbotham, said is evidence that Thomas "hates black women."

                  USA Today columnist Barbara Reynolds attacked Thomas for having married a white woman: "It may sound bigoted; well, this is a bigoted world and why can’t black people be allowed a little Archie Bunker mentality? ... Here’s a man who’s going to decide crucial issues for the country and he has already said no to blacks; he has already said if he can’t paint himself white he’ll think white and marry a white woman."

                  In February 2014, State Rep. Alvin Holmes (D-AL) said of Justice Thomas: "I don’t like him at all because he’s an Uncle Tom." Earlier Holmes explained, while on the floor of the Alabama House of Representatives, that he disliked Thomas because "he’s married to a white woman."















                  1. After the death of Antonin Scalia the "Twitterverse" absolutely lit up with liberals wishing that Thomas would die soon.

                  2. Lee once declared that Michael Williams was an "Uncle Tom" who needed to be "dragged into the alley and beaten with a Louisville Slugger" for promoting race-neutral scholarships while serving as a senior official in the Bush Administration's Department of Education.

                  3. who took particular delight in referring to white males as "white boys" and told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer shortly before the first July 4th after 9/11 that, “I don’t celebrate the Fourth of July. I get up in the morning and read Fredrick Douglas’, “The Meaning of the Fourth of July to the Negro” and then I grouse for the rest of the day" and who had earlier told the Washington Post that "it’s ridiculous for black Americans to recite the Pledge of Allegiance because its words are nothing but a lie. Just a lie."

                  I'm always still in trouble again

                    After Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's death in 2016[1], Congresswoman Karen Bass (D-Calif), indicated that Clarence Thomas wasn't an authentic black when she demanded that Scalia's replacement should be black, so as to give the Court an "African-American voice" which she said was lacking since Thurgood Marshall's time. “I think many people would like to see an African American on the Supreme Court,” Bass declared.

                    While discussing the views of Thomas Columbia University professor of African-American Studies and political scientist Manning Marable decided that "ethnically, Thomas has ceased being an African American"

                    From the podium of the 1995 National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) convention Thomas was repeatedly called a "pimp" and a "traitor" to the black community. The late Rev. Joseph Lowery of the Southern Christian Leadership Council (SCLC) intoned, "I have told [Thomas] that I am ashamed of him, because he is becoming to the black community what Benedict Arnold was to the nation he deserted; and what Judas Iscariot was to Jesus; a traitor; and what Brutus was to Caesar; an assassin."

                    The late columnist Carl Rowan snidely remarked that, "if you give Thomas a little flour on his face, you’d think you had [former Klansman] David Duke." Former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown called Thomas not only "a shill for the most insidious form of racism," but someone who's views are "legitimizing of the Klu Klux Klan." Brown added that Thomas should be shunned and "shut out" by the black community.

                    Jesse Jackson proclaimed that Thomas was an "enemy of civil rights" and likened Thomas to a member of the Ku Klux Klan asserting that, "At night, the enemies of civil rights strike in white sheets, burning crosses ... By day, they strike in black robes."

                    Georgetown professor and MSNBC regular Michael Eric Dyson declared on Martin Bashir in 2013 that Thomas is "a symbolic Jew has invited a metaphoric Hitler to commit holocaust and genocide upon his own people." The host, Martin Bashir (who would shortly resign after calling for someone to [vulgar term for defecate] in Sarah Palin's mouth) simply responded to this slur with a calm "thank you."

                    The November 1997 cover of Emerge magazine depicted Thomas as a smiling lawn jockey next to the caption: “Lawn Jockey for The Far Right.” Inside was artwork that depicted Thomas as a shoeshine boy for Justice Antonin Scalia. George Curry, who was editor-in-chief of Emerge, defended the drawings because he said they weren’t as bad as others he had seen or as bad as some remarks about Thomas he had heard. Imagine how far that defense would go if a conservative magazine had Obama depicted as a shoeshine boy for George Soros.

                    In 2014 Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss) called Thomas and other black conservatives "Uncle Tom[s]." When asked to clarify his remarks in light of the fact that the term is regarded racist, Thompson brushed it off saying it was legitimate because he isn't liberal and "voter ID, affirmative action, Affordable Care Act -- all those issues are very important and for someone in the court who’s African American and not sensitive to that is a real problem."

                    The late author and feminist activist June Jordan characterized Thomas as a "virulent Oreo phenomenon," a "punk-ass," and an "Uncle Tom calamity." Movie director Spike Lee called Thomas "a handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom."[2]

                    USA Today columnist and "Pacifica Radio" talk show host Julianne Malveaux[3] related her feelings toward Thomas on a 1994 episode of To the Contrary: "I hope his [Thomas’] wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter, and he dies early, like many black men do, of heart disease ... He’s an absolutely reprehensible person." How dare he be black and a conservative! He needs to die.

                    Interestingly, liberals openly despise Thomas because of his mixed race marriage. Thomas, who's wife is white, has been attacked on these grounds by liberals multiple times over the years.

                    Russell Adams, chairman of the Afro-American studies department at Howard University (America's most prominent black institution of higher learning) told the Washington Post, "His marrying of a white woman is a sign of his rejection of the black community. Great Justices have had community roots that served as a basis for understanding the Constitution. Clarence’s lack of a sense of community makes his nomination troubling." In defense of this the chairman of Howard's political science department, Ronald Walters, declared that he was sick and tired of hearing about the emergence of "black male conservatives who have exhibited a tendency toward interracial marriage." He then snidely added, "White conservatives are [Clarence Thomas's] ideological bedfellows, and his white conservative wife is literally his bedfellow."

                    Wow.

                    But that is hardly all.

                    Former U.S. Court of Appeals Judge the late A. Leon Higginbotham declared during a speech at New York University that Thomas is paving the way for the reinstituting white supremacy and asserted that his conservative views are a symptom of "racial self-hatred." He then went on to offer proof of his diagnoses -- that Thomas is married to a white woman. This, Higginbotham, said is evidence that Thomas "hates black women."

                    USA Today columnist Barbara Reynolds attacked Thomas for having married a white woman: "It may sound bigoted; well, this is a bigoted world and why can’t black people be allowed a little Archie Bunker mentality? ... Here’s a man who’s going to decide crucial issues for the country and he has already said no to blacks; he has already said if he can’t paint himself white he’ll think white and marry a white woman."

                    In February 2014, State Rep. Alvin Holmes (D-AL) said of Justice Thomas: "I don’t like him at all because he’s an Uncle Tom." Earlier Holmes explained, while on the floor of the Alabama House of Representatives, that he disliked Thomas because "he’s married to a white woman."















                    1. After the death of Antonin Scalia the "Twitterverse" absolutely lit up with liberals wishing that Thomas would die soon.

                    2. Lee once declared that Michael Williams was an "Uncle Tom" who needed to be "dragged into the alley and beaten with a Louisville Slugger" for promoting race-neutral scholarships while serving as a senior official in the Bush Administration's Department of Education.

                    3. who took particular delight in referring to white males as "white boys" and told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer shortly before the first July 4th after 9/11 that, “I don’t celebrate the Fourth of July. I get up in the morning and read Fredrick Douglas’, “The Meaning of the Fourth of July to the Negro” and then I grouse for the rest of the day" and who had earlier told the Washington Post that "it’s ridiculous for black Americans to recite the Pledge of Allegiance because its words are nothing but a lie. Just a lie."
                    I suggest you get a life rogue, you have way to much time on your hands.

                        Perhaps it would be best if I remind some of the folks here of the blatant racism directed at black conservatives by liberals for the sin of wandering off the plantation that they established for them. Since I mentioned Condoleeza Rice first let's start with her.


                        Los Angeles Times' political cartoonist Jeff Danziger depicted her as the barely literate/ebonics-speaking, "Gone with the Wind" mammy-like character "Prissy" nursing the aluminum tubes cited by the Bush's Administration as evidence of Iraq’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. Danziger tried to deflect criticism from conservatives by claiming that the idea for his cartoon was suggested to him by some unnamed "black friend" and therefore wasn't racist. The rest of his claim underlies his deceit. He asserts that Rice "happens to be African-American" as if he were depicting her without regard to race. Bullfeathers. It is only because she is black that it makes any sense to draw her as a racist stereotype from "Gone with the Wind" –- and drawing her that way does not in any way make fun of her politics, it just makes fun of her race.

                        But it was nearly completely ignored because Rice is conservative.

                        Then there are the depictions by the Boston Globe's Pat Oliphant (twice) as a dark-skinned big-lipped parrot shortly after she was nominated to become Secretary of State. To be fair, it's a cartoonists' job to exaggerate features of people they draw, but the fact is that Rice doesn't have particularly full lips, so you would think he could have drawn Rice without resorting to a racist big-lipped caricature of blacks. In fact, in order to communicate convincingly the image of Rice, Oliphant needs to select specific features that are immediately recognizable by the largest possible audience. An obvious target would have been her unique hairstyle of the time, but Oliphant instead picked big lips because they have long been used as a way of communicating the racist idea that blacks are buffoons (i.e., Rice is dismissed as a buffoon). It is a physical feature exaggerated to communicate not only a certain race but also negative presumptions about the race.

                        But it was nearly completely ignored because Rice is conservative.

                        Next, there is the former President of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, Ted Rall, who depicted the then-Secretary of State as being sent to an inner-city racial re-education camp where she claims that she was Bush’s "house nigga." Rall, a white male, was accused of racism by Project 21, an organization that describes itself as "The National Leadership Network of Black Conservatives"

                        But it was nearly completely ignored because Rice is conservative.

                        Similarly, the late liberal syndicated radio talk show host Neil Rogers (WQAM in South Florida) commissioned and continuously played a song about Rice done to the tune of Nat King Cole’s classic "Mona Lisa," mocking black’s speech patterns and containing racist slurs and described her as a "black-haired answer-mammy" who "cleans all the White House bathrooms." Entitled “Condolezza,” the song includes the following lyrics:

                        "Is you there 'cause you a high-toned public Negro?
                        Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart?
                        Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza?
                        Or the way you wash and park the whitey's cars.

                        Georgie junior says he trusts you, Condoleezza.
                        Who said our [unintelligible] off the greedy oil woes.
                        But then he make you clean all the White House bathrooms.
                        The public sink, the toilet and let's scrub the floors."

                        The NAACP, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton... none of the usual suspects, ever asked for Rogers to be yanked off the air (which they would if Condolezza Rice was a liberal) much less even bothered to ask for a simple apology. It was, say it with me now, nearly completely ignored because Rice is conservative.

                        Then there is the poet laureate of New Jersey, Amiri Baraka (a.k.a., Everett LeRoi Jones, Imamu Amear Baraka), who wrote a poem blaming the Jews for the 9/11 terrorist attacks ("Who told 4000 Israeli workers at the Twin Towers to stay home that day? Why did Sharon stay away?") where he also attacked not only Rice but Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Secretary of State Colin Powell as well in one of his tax-payer sponsored "poems":

                        Who do Tom Ass Clarence Work for
                        Who doo doo come out the Colon's mouth
                        Who know what kind of Skeeza is a Condoleeza

                        Once again, imagine the reaction if a conservative had said similar things about liberal blacks.


                        The next one I mentioned was the considerably lesser known former Maryland Lt. Governor and RNC chairman Michael S. Steele (who liberals pelted with Oreo cookies, called an "Uncle Tom" and depicted as a black-faced minstrel). Boston Globe movie critic Wesley Morris likened the House Negro in D’Jango Unchained, played by Samuel L. Jackson, to Steele.

                        And then there was this image of him circulated on liberal websites (next to an actual picture)

                        [ATTACH=CONFIG]32040[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]32041[/ATTACH]

                        Not only was there no outcry, but liberal blacks made it clear they approved of such treatment!

                        Liberal black leaders responded to objections from Steele by saying that there is nothing wrong with what they called "pointing out the obvious." A campaign spokesman for Kweisi Mfume, a 5-term Democratic Congressman and candidate for the U.S. Senate as well as the former president of the NAACP, proclaimed that "There is a difference between pointing out the obvious and calling someone names." Mfume never rejected the statement or asked his aide to apologize or retract his statement.

                        Likewise, Maryland State Senator Lisa A. Gladden, a black Baltimore Democrat, said that she doesn’t expect her party to pull any punches including racial jabs at Mr. Steele: "If you are bold enough to run, you have to take whatever the voters are going to give you. It’s a democracy."

                        Delegate Salima Siler Marriott, a black Baltimore Democrat, claimed that Mr. Steele invited comparisons to a slave who loves his cruel master or a cookie that is white on the inside and black on the outside because his conservative philosophy is, in her view, anti-black. "Because he is a conservative, he is different than most public blacks, and he is different than most people in our community," (talk about stereotyping) she said. "His politics are not in the best interest of the masses of black people."


                        Perhaps I should provide another example. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

                        First off liberals have repeatedly proclaimed that Thomas isn't really black because he isn't liberal. There's that racist stereotyping from the left again. Far too many liberals commonly dismisses out-of-hand as an "inauthentic black" any black person whose world-view differs from their own. The insidious racist axiom here is that, "all blacks think alike," a laughably ridiculous concept that civil rights leaders would be quick to condemn if they were said by a conservative.

                        When Samuel Alito was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2005, the editorial staff of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel called for more diversity in the high court and declared that Clarence Thomas doesn’t count as black (he "deserves an asterisk because he doesn't represent the views of mainstream black America.").

                            It's just that the left gives so many examples of their virulent racism that they declare is perfectly okay if the black person is a conservative. And believe me I just barely scratched the surface (that was only three conservatives with one not that well known).

                                It's nothing to do with racism, dummy. It's to do with illiterate stupidity. And you will notice that I included the whiter-than-white (well orange really) Trump in the critique so it's hardly to do with "virulent racism".

                                And nobody is stopping you from refuting what I wrote. So why aren't you rather than whining? Could it be you know what I wrote is true and can only vainly seek to distract and misdirect?
