Liberals Hate Black Men (If They’re Conservative)
In today's paper I read this column by Ted Hayes. He's from California, a homeless activist, wears dreadlocks, is black and most damning of all, is a conservative Republican.
His story is compelling and disturbing.
I guess in the eye's of the leftys the only good black man is a liberal black man. Conservative blacks are scum, according to them.
Isn't that prejudice at the highest level?

We see this across the country. Michael Steele, the lieutenant governor of Maryland and a Republican candidate for the Senate, has been crudely denigrated on racial grounds. A prominent leftist Web site, for instance, depicted him as "Sambo," among other aspersions. When Condoleezza Rice was nominated as Secretary of State, she faced similar treatment: editorial cartoons depicting her as a racial caricature, personalities calling her "Aunt Jemima" on liberal talk radio, and so forth. Clarence Thomas, Ward Connerly, Colin Powell, Thomas Sowell and other black conservatives regularly face similar smears.
These conservatives are attacked not because of the validity or judicious consideration of their views but because those views are supposedly heterodox for American blacks. Yet it is my opinion that many black people in the U.S. are politically and philosophically conservative -- and many are in fact actually closeted Republicans, fearful of persecution by friends, business associates, society clubs, school mates and even churches.
