re: #178 goddamnedfrank

The Tea Party like him because he’s down with their dogma, economic, religious, and social. He’s useful to them because he’s willing to validate and repeat all the bullshit they want to hear about black people, that they’re brainwashed, lazy and on some Democratic Plantation.

Well, they like him until they find out he has been an advocate for affirmative action.

They like him, today, because he is one of the 17 Black Conservatives that allows themselves to be used as a club to beat us 95%ers. They are DEEPLY resentful that they are impotent to browbeat and harangue us 95%ers into voting Republican by invoking the very and Confederacy they openly celebrate.

I think the whole spectacle is hilarious, though I do worry for Mr. Cain’s mental health. having been one myself, I know precisely what kind of shit you have to eat on a daily basis to be a self-identified Black conservative token, waved around by race-resentful confederates still smarting over te end of slavery and segregation. It’s got to be 80 times worse today than it was when I was one.
