Conservatives in the media are consistently being attacked for their alleged racism. They accuse Tea party protesters, Republicans, Conservatives and pretty much everyone else on the right of vile racism on a regular basis. All it takes is for someone to cry racism (no evidence needed) and it becomes headline news on MSNBC for 3 straight days. All of this when there’s is literally NO evidence of such racism.
But when someone on the left displays blatant racism that couldn’t be more obvious, like the recent attack by liberal protesters calling for Clarence Thomas to be lynched, they are given a pass in the media.
Now we see another blatant attack from a writer at Alternet going after Herman Cain and his recent CPAC speech in what can only be described as truly vile and disgusting racism in its purity.
If you didn’t know, AlterNet describes itself as an organization that “confront[s] the failures of corporate media, as well as the vitriol and disinformation of right wing media, especially ‘hate talk’ media” and their “editorial mix underscores a commitment to fairness, equality and global stewardship, and to making connections across generational, ethnic and issue lines.”
Hmm, ok…Would this be considered “hate talk”?…
In the immortal words of Megatron in Transformers: The Movie, Herman Cain’s speech at CPAC really is bad comedy. As you know, I find black garbage pail kids black conservatives fascinating not because of what they believe, but rather because of how they entertain and perform for their White Conservative masters. …
Instead, Herman Cain’s shtick is a version of race minstrelsy where he performs “authentic negritude” as wish fulfillment for White Conservative fantasies. …
We always need a monkey in the window, for he/she reminds us of our humanity while simultaneously reinforcing a sense of our own superiority. Sadly, there are always folks who are willing to play that role because it pays so well.
Once again, indisputable evidence of clear and present racism on the left. Will the NAACP make a statement? Will Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson make their media rounds condemning Alternet for this hit piece? Will MSNBC spend three straight days on the out of control racism on the left?
I’m not holding my breath.

Please join me in condemning AlterNet for their shameful behavior towards me and all black conservatives. Special thanks to my friends Niger Innis, Dana Loesch and Andrew Breitbart for standing with me.
