What black groups AREN'T considered dangerous radicals by Fox News & conservatives?
As I was watching this video of Sarah Palin and Sean Hannity discuss Obama's race and the NAACP's condemnation of teabagger racism, I wondered if current conservatives ever managed to say anything good about any black group, or if they've just figured they don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning any black votes given the Southern Strategy on steroids they've been doing the last couple of decades, so they just dump on black folks without restraint.

6. Wait... there are Black Tea Partiers? Other than maybe the 3-4 token ones they are parading around?


I read somewhere they they put on a big to-do about Black Tea Partiers in Baltimore (probably the Blackest city in America) and they had to fly in their Black guest speakers from other areas because they couldn't find any Black tea partiers in Baltimore.

12. I think Larry Elders summed up the Republican ideal minority
"Black Republicans pose a special threat because black Republicans disarm the left wing's weapons of racial grievance and the victicrat mentality. Black Republicans are a scary bunch. They don't follow the script by blaming everything on race, as if nothing's changed. Like a gay who supports traditional marriage, a Latino who wants the borders secured first, a woman who is pro-life, or a poor person who doesn't want to soak the rich -- we threaten groupthink and identity politics."


It's not that they aren't victims, it's just that the ideal Republican minority doesn't mind being totally abused. The ideal minority Republican replaces thinking about groups of people that are oppressed with thinking about what's best for the top 1 % that benefit from Republican ideas. They replace using their actual identity as a person with the concept of the identity of REPUBLICAN as if it was a sports team. For instance Larry Elders probably not considered a dangerous radical on Faux.

15. Good question. My sister, who's going to the 08/28 teabagger event, is frightened
Edited on Thu Jul-15-10 04:07 PM by DevonRex
because supposedly the Black Panthers are going to be there. Now, I don't know if that's even true. But she's all in a (joyful) snit about it. I can tell she's excited that something might happen. Now, she and her husband have LOTS of guns. HUGE guns. And I'm sure they're gonna have lots with them at the rally. And I'm thinking the baggers are going to be the ones who will start something, not the Panthers, if anything does in fact get started at all.

But you know who will get the blame because you know who will be covering the rally, right?

22. a black panther in a wheelchair probably would be a threat to them
especially if he cut in line at the early bird buffet.
