Dave Weigel commenter: “Black Conservatives are political eunuchs”
"In the words of Johnny Cochran, if there is no spit, you must acquit," quipped Kevin Jackson (left), author of The Big Black Lie, referring to spurious charges that Tea Partiers had spat upon Rep, John Lewis during a demonstration in front of the Capitol last March. Jackson and other conservative black leaders sparred with hostile reporters yesterday at the National Press Club.

"In short, Black Conservatives are political eunuchs," writes a clueless and condescending James Lee in the comments of Dave Weigel's report on yesterday's Tea Party Express National Press Club event featuring a stellar line-up of authentic black Tea Party voices. These "articulate and bright and clean"
fellow Americans had come together to speak out against the specious
accusations of racism being hurled at us of late by the NAACP and other
members of the racial-grievance community. But James Lee in the comments
saw right through their act:
Black Conservatives have
no significant constituency that they represent. They are called upon to
provide cover for White Conservatives who enjoy attacking African
Americans and other minorities.That is their only function. Most African Americans don't know who these
Black Conservatives are and what they represent.They have no influence in the Conservative movement either — except to
be trotted out to rebutt charges of racism. Otherwise what unique
perspective or what added value do they represent?
"I don't see it that way at all," we commented, countering the grievance-community narrative:
Like the Mama Grizzlies
and Sistah Grizzlies — that's what I call myself — these courageous
black Tea Partiers aren't taking orders from proselytizers of the
politically correct grievance community. They've read and taken to heart
the Declaration and the Constitution and are determined not to let the
we-know-what's-best-for-you crowd turn the lights out on the Shining
City. I invite you to listen to two of them that I have come to know via
the internet, Cedra Crenshaw, who's fighting the Chicago Machine and winning and Herman Cain, whose words "Stay inspired: We the people are still in charge" are an inspiration.
"We're the ones who don't have chains on our brains, and they hate us
for it," declared a spirited AlfonZo Rachel of PJTV (click here for one of his mesmerizing rants)
at yesterday's Press Club event, but the usual suspects weren't
listening. Shouting over the voices of the speakers they were supposed
to be "covering," they heard only what they wanted to hear. Black
conservatives? Oxymoronic.

Leftists and their lapdog press always see race above humanity, patriotism,or God forbid, individuality. In their little minds No person who happens to be black can possibly be a legitimate conservative thinker. This is the worst form of racism. Leftists are more approving and reinforcing of the ignorant and perpetually impoverished blacks who vote for dimwits like Sheila Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters. These political drones are doing little good for the communities they supposedly have been serving all these years. The steriotype of a narrow ass high school drop out packing heat, baggy pants drooping to the point of displaying the Calvins, who communicates in less than 3 word phrases and has never held a job is more acceptable in leftists minds as a ‘genuine black person’. Keeping blacks on the plantation must be getting harder these days.
“In short, Black Conservatives are political eunuchs,”
But the question I always have is, why do black Democrats allow their party to teat them like political lawn jockeys?
“We’re the ones who don’t have chains on our brains, and they hate us for it,” Exactly!
We are the ones who got away!
“But the question I always have is, why do black Democrats allow their party to teat them like political lawn jockeys?”
Because it is better than the alternative party. Two words: Southern Strategy
pd, you’re just not getting it. A Conservative who feels that the Tea Party is representative of their views is not someone who would have embraced the Southern strategy from the era of Lyndon Johnson. It’s a damn shame that those Southern Democratic party racists about 45 years ago were so numerous that they could hijack southern Republican politics and leave their racist taint on the party of Abraham Lincoln.
