I know many here are suspicious of Daily Kos but I just haven’t found this story anywhere else and there is video:

dailykos.com


The black guy in the video seems genuinely like he wants to find a way for conservatives to appeal to other African Americans, but he suddenly gets screamed on by a white guy who insists that race doesn’t matter. Here is a short transcript.

Black guy: “Recruit us.”
White guy: “So?”

Black guy: “What’s wrong with the message?”

White guy: “Why didn’t you go out and look?”

Black guy: “What’s wrong with the message? How many?” (Holding up five fingers on one hand)

White guy: “I don’t count?!?!”

Black guy: “It matters.”

White guy: “I don’t ask people what their . . ?”

Black guy: “It matters because.”

White guy: ((unintelligible))

Black guy: “I do. Cause race matters.”

White guy: “No it doesn’t!!! You’re an American! You’re not a black person! You’re an American! I didn’t go in and count all the Jews?”

The white guy CONTINUES TO SCREAM, doesn’t get asked to leave. The black guy gets asked to leave.
And then the white guy accuses the black guy of trying to divide the country by acknowledging that he is, in fact, a black guy.

The horror.

Nothing sums up the GOP then a white guy at CPAC screaming at a black guy that race doesn’t matter while the black guy is escorted out and the screaming white guy gets to stay.
