It's lucrative being an anti-black black person

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

Always getting trotted out to defend the racists and make them feel good about their racism, and when you get called out for it, then call the people who are calling you out racist.


Edit - and these are the same people that claim that black people always want to talk about race, but the only time they get airtime is to talk about race

1. Candice Owens had a liberal blog that went bust. But she is sure doing well now.

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

6. Yep

I always contend that its harder to make it if you are a Joy Reid or a Tiffany Cross because there are many black female professionals that have the same credentials and viewpoints as them, so for them to make it as far as they did it took talent and smarts for them to standout from the rest....ironically and meanwhile Owens made it where she is only because she is black, something that conservatives say they are against

13. not so sure about that

this woman is all over the place idealogically and otherwise. She seems to be looking for something to hang her hat on. She does have the one characteristic most of these paid republican shills have, and that is that she's interested in promoting herself above all.

19. Today I saw a YouTube video of her supposedly explaining

the incident that turned her into a conservative on Joe Rogan's show. I was curious.

She said at 17 she got some phone messages one night when she was at her boyfriend's house calling her the n-word and threatening violence, which turned out to be her gay male friend (and his friends) who she said was jealous she was spending so much time with her boyfriend.

The next day in school she mentioned it and the teacher made her report it, then it became a big deal because one of the kids who made the calls was the governor's son. This she described as outrage culture. Somehow this outrage culture was the formative event that turned her into a conservative and also caused her struggle with anorexia for years.

Come on, man. It didn't even make sense. She's not very good at this.

20. I agree. One incident was supposed to change her entire world/political view?

On the other hand I think she probably makes some good money being a right winged shill and protector of the racists. If she were a liberal she'd be part of a large herd.

21. On the one hand, I understand why people do things for money and fame.

Big fish in a small pond. On the other, I'd think their conscience would bother them, but if it doesn't, I guess I can't judge. That's show business.

2. Tim Scott embarrassed himself tonite.

Nor will it resonate even with Republican voters who like Joe's proposals. Unless they be racist themselves.

4. It was nothing more than a list of grievances against Democrats,,praise for Trump..all capped

with an appeal to religion..

3. This is exactly what I pointed out in a earlier post...

which the admins decided was outside the rules.

If they decide what I did was wrong...they`ll probably decide you are wrong too...and should be sanctioned.

Good luck!

5. It's so much easier to move up when you get in the short line

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

9. Yep

That’s what my post #6 was trying to say

[StarfishSaver]

10. I just saw that. You're dead on.

[SharonClark]

11. Well said.

[Demovictory9]

18. yes, works with woman too. Tammy Bruce, former head of National org of women - LA branch

not she's a rightwing radio nut, talking guns all the time. switching to the otherside got her a paycheck

[ShazamIam]

7. I am personally embarrassed that this nation made radio hate talker Rush Limbaugy, very rich.

What kind of country turns hate and fear mongers into multimillionaires?

8. Just don't balk at the latest craziness...

That was Michael Steele's mistake.

You've decided what you're bedding down with. Don't complain about the fleas. And lice. And worms. And things poking into sensitive areas, and...

14. +1

12. I listened carefully

but I couldn't find a single item of substance. I'm biased against conservative views for sure, but I'd still like to think I could say "you have a point there" if there was such a point.

One problem with the speech was that it didn't set out any new ground. Biden's speech presented the possibiliity of a country that could help the working class, people without degrees who have had a tough time over the past couple decades. Nobody's offered this group anything but there is a place for them to rebuild a new energy structure and work on highways, tunnels, etc., not to mention adequate coverage of internet for the entire country.

I don't see what Scott presented other than to scorn "Democratic wish lists." Like we should leave the tax structure the way it is and not spend any money on people but let rich people skate on taxes. That is not a winning proposition.

15. Republicans LOVE that shit

Although I don't know how Uncle Tim and Candace Owens can actually look at themselves in the mirror.
Candace especially... she's vile and hateful.

[Demovictory9]

17. it's the "like me, I'm a GOOD black person" stuff ... ugh.

[Demovictory9]

16. yeah... Larry Elder.. Radio show is nonstop bashing of black people. No matter the big story of the

day, his show is bashing black people. Really sad. pathetic man full of self hatred.

[LymphocyteLover]

22. sadly, there's definitely a market for it-- conservatives have tons of cash to pay for

their evil propaganda
