Black Republicans
Steve Gilliard on why he cannot respect Black Republicans:
You know, let me explain something. My contempt for black conservatives doesn’t come from their politics, but the humiliation they suffer at the hands of the GOP aned their refusal to stand up for themselves.
If they had different politics than me, that’s not a problem. I don’t really care. We could argue politics all day long. But when you see someone like Williams, who worked for arch racist Strom Thurmond lecture black people about morals, you have to wonder what happened to his soul. It’s one thing to advocate conservative political positions, it’s another to make your living denigrating blacks and capilatizing on their problems.
I can’t respect a man who has no self-respect.
Earlier, Steve also commented on Amstrong Williams’ ethical problems:
Of course it’s totally unethical and illegal, but hey, he’s already sold his soul to massa, why not sell it some more. Massa George wanted him to do somethin’ so he did it. And got paid well for it.
On top of Clarence Thomas begging his white patrons for money, this ought to expose the character of the negro conservative. They have no soul and no morals. They can be bought by their white overlords because they apsire to their status, but think themselves unworthy to be treated as the same. Now, I’ll freely admit both Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have used their position to gain personally. But this kind of craven greed is a feature of the negro conservative. He shuffles and bucks along for his master, losing his soul and dignity in the process.
He has no ethics to begin with, the show horse for a bunch of people who think he’s lesser than them. So why wouldn’t he use his position to enrich himself and hide his illegal arrangement with his white masters. He’s already sold his dignity and self-respect. Why not sell his reputation as well. Williams is already an embarassment to black people. This just furthers the shame he brings.
Steve is running a funding request at the moment. Why not go over there and chuck some appreciation his way.
