Stacey Dash Is Running For Congress - Bye Stacey!

Our friends in California have had their share of Democratic and Republican leaning actors running for public office in the Golden State. 

George Lloyd Murphy served as the Republican US Senator for California from 1965-1971 and basically was the person that role modeled the transition path from notable actor to a politician that Ronald Reagan and later Arnold Schwarzenegger successfully followed.

Seaking of Reagan and Schwarzenegger, both have been Republican governors of California.
Reagan parlayed his time as Cali's 33rd governor from 1967-1975 into two terms as the 40th president of the United States from 1981-1989.

Schwarzenegger parlayed his movie career into two terms as California's 38th governor. 'The Governator' served from from 2003-2011.

And I can't forget Sonny Bono.  He served as the Republican congressman from California's 44th congressional District from 1995 until his death from injuries sustained in a skiing accident in 1998

On the California Democratic Party side, there was Helen Gahagan Douglas, who became the third woman in US history and the first Democratic woman elected to Congress from California. 
She represented California's 14th Congressional District from 1945-1951. 

She ran for the US Senate in 1950, and was unfortunately subjected by Richard Nixon to the most vicious smear campaign in California history that ended her political career and started Nixon's until it ended in the disgrace the Watergate scandal.

Democrat Sheila Kuehl was a child actor and attorney who later served three terms in the California State Assembly's 41st District  from 1994-2000 and later in the California Senate's 23rd District from 2008-2008.

She was elected to the LA County Board of Supervisors in 2014 and is still serving her 3rd District constituents.

That pattern continues today, with unabashed Trump supporter Antonio Sabato, Jr announcing last year he was going to run for Congress in 2018 as a Republican and challenge Rep. Julia Brownley (D) in the 26th District that covers southern Ventura County.

Brownley has represented the district since 2013.

And now we have actress and former FOX Nose pundit Stacey Dash announcing that she is going to run for the US Congress in the 44th Congressional District currently represented by freshman Democrat Nanette Barragan.

It's going to be a tough slog for her, since the district is 70% Latinx and covers South Los Angeles. Three of the neighborhoods and cities represented by Rep. Barragan are Watts, Carson and Compton.  It also went overwhelmingly for Clinton 83%-12%   

And if Stacey Dash thinks that Black folks forgot that she sold our community out while taking paychecks from FOX Noise as a political commentator, she really is clueless about the fact her Black card has been revoked and we haven't forgotten what she said about us.

Here's the receipts.

And naw Stacey, I haven't forgotten that foul comment you made on FOX Noise about trans women.  Something about we can 'go pee in the bushes'. 

Naw Miss Thang, my unapologetic Black trans feminine behind doesn't pee in the bushes outside.  I pee in a closed stall in the women's restroom like your transphobic behind does.  When I'm done I wipe my azz, check the seat, flush and wash my hands when I'm done.




And I have no doubt that Black voters in the 44th District feel the same way about her that Gabrielle Union and much of Black America does.

Stacey's Black Card has been revoked for her sellout behavior.   We have long memories about it when people who share our ethnic background sell us out for their own personal and economic gain. (see Omarosa).

When the karmic wheel turns to put the sellout in a position where they need the Black community's help, payback is a you know what.

Republicans are about to learn the lesson once again that Black folks don't vote for just ANY Black face you put on the ballot as they accused us of doing when we eagerly sent Barack H. Obama to the White House for 8 years .

I have no doubts that the Black voters in the 44th Congressional District will not only return Congresswoman Barragan back to DC to rep them, but will eagerly be  heading to the polls November 6  to say #ByeStacey and derail her attempt to 'Dash for DC'.

And it's going to be fun watching that happen. . 

Don Lemon Shuts Down Trump Spokesliar

I've had my issues with CNN's Don Lemon at times, but lately he and his network have grown a backbone when it comes to confronting and pushing back against Trump misadministration spokespeople who come on their network to lie or spin.

Here's Lemon shutting down Trump spokesnegro Paris Dennard when he called a story in which they were discussing the cost of Trump's frequent trips to his Florida estate 'fake news'.

Watch Lemon calling Dennard's azz out

.

Bravo for calling out Dennard's lying behind.

Ben Carson Engages In Transphobia Again

Ben Carson has been for the last several months engaging in facts-free transphobic attacks on us, and on the eve of his Republican National Convention speech in Cleveland once again has unleashed his ignorant and ill informed opinion about us.

Shouldn't be surprising since he worked at the long time transphobic Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Carson said in his problematic remarks that being transgender was 'absurd' and 'doesn't make any sense'.but then launched into an absurd comparison conflating gender identity to ethnicity that didn't make any sense

"For someone to wake up and think that they belong to a different sex because they feel different that day is the same as if you woke up and said I'm Afghani today because I saw a movie about that last night and even though my genetics might not indicate that, that's the way I feel, and if you say that I'm not, then you're a racist."

Naw you ignorant conservafool, what you are is a transphobic idiot that needs to get acclimated to the increasingly solid science and evidence that trans people exist despite you and your party's ongoing attempts to dehumanize us and deny our existence.

And you also need to recognize along with your party that transgender rights are international human rights.

Bye, Stacey!

Been wondering when the conservafool movement would deploy their Kneegrow Auxiliaries to regurgitate the same trans hate the GOP politicians and conservative white folks have been spouting for the last few months.

Well, I now have my answer.  The sellout kneegrow (they don't deserve to be called Black) pastors were recently deployed to coon it up in North Carolina for the unjust Hate Bill 2, and now Stacey Dash has received her marching orders from her conservafool paymasters..

Ever since I first saw Stacey Dash in the movies Mo' Money and Illegal In Blue and later Clueless, I've been a fan.. The brothers drooled over her photo shoots in various Black men's magazines.  But over the last several years that has waned as she has started drinking the conservafool Kool-Aid.

Now that the FOX Noise Fembot has revealed herself to be an unrepentant transphobe, as far as I and everyone else in Black Trans World and our allies are concerned it's Bye, Stacey time.

Since you're a clueless conservaidiot, pun intended, let me break this simple concept down for you Ms. Dash.  Trans women are women, trans men are men.  We're also human beings.

Let my unapologetic Black trans behind tell your sellout ass where I and every other trans woman on this planet will be going to poop and pee, and wash our hands when we're done.  It won't be in the bushes, it'll be in the women's bathroom stall right next to you, just as we have been doing for your entire life and you probably didn't even know it.

And oh yeah, guess you forgot there are Black trans people whose #BlackTransLivesMatter to all who love them.   It is our lives that have been and will be disproportionately affected by the anti-trans violence and GOP legislative discrimination that your transphobic words gleefully endorse.
.

Trans people demanding to have our humanity be treated with dignity and respect and our human rights recognized is not as you disrespectfully put it 'the tyranny of the minority'.  And how dare you as part of the conservative tyranny of the minority peddle that debunked anti-trans bathroom lie so you can peddle your new book that only the FOX Noise watching ignorati will read

Bye, Stacey.   And on behalf of Black Trans America, you can kiss our unapologetically Black trans behinds..

Roland Martin Drops The Mic On Stacey Dash

Stacey Dash has sadly had the wash set and GOP cranial rinse to become a FOX fembot, and has been cooning it up lately on FOX Noise.

She was recently unleashed by her paymasters to say some monumentally stupid and hypocritical comments about BET, Black Hollywood and Black media in general that paid her bills for decades before she started taking pundit checks from FOX Noise.

Well you know my ascot wearing Houston homeboy Roland Martin wasn't having it, and delivered this recent smackdown on her azz.

Enjoy.

Arkansas Anti-TBLG Rights Spokesperson Turns Out To Be Sexual Predator

One of the tactics in the opposition tool box is what is called projection.   You take an undesirable behavior of yours and project it onto your opponent whether they are guilty of it or not.

One of the things our right wing opponents have been beating like a drum in the opposition to LGBT inclusive human rights laws is the widely discredited trans bathroom predator meme, when the reality is the bathroom predators predominately are white males who aren't getting dressed in drag to enter bathrooms to prey upon women.    The conservafools doing the loudest squawking about it usually are the ones engaged in the predatory behavior they ascribe to others.

We have our latest example of right wing projection tactics blowing up in their face in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.     Eureka Springs on February 9 passed a non discrimination law covering BTLG people that a coalition of conservative businessmen and pastors are trying to overturn in a May 12 referendum , and they are employing heaping helpings of lies and faith based transphobia to do so.

Turns out that one of their spokeskneegrows, 60 year old pastor Acra Lee Turner, who has been loudly bearing false witness against the local LGBT community, is living in a glass house of his own.

Turner, who since April 15 has been pastor of Penn Memorial Baptist Church in Eureka Springs,  was revealed by the Arkansas Times to be a convicted sex offender. 

As a 22 year old, the was convicted in 1977 of sexual assault in Stephens County, Oklahoma and sentenced to three concurrent sentences of 30-60 for three counts of rape.   One of the people he sexually assaulted was an 80 year old woman who was beaten so badly she was almost unrecognizable.

He was paroled in August 2000 over the objections of the families who were victimized by Turner.  His crimes also predate the establishment of the Oklahoma State Sex Offender Registry.

Turner has also been pimping the lie the anti-HERO ministers tried to push here in Houston until I and other Black LGBT Houstonians gleefully had fun destroying it in several hearings, that  LGBT civil rights are not a human rights issue.

No LGBT person says Turner, "has been lynched, no one has to sit on the back of the bus. It's not a human rights issue, it's a human behavior issue."

Two words for you homes on the LGBT human rights issue:  Bayard Rustin.   Coretta Scott King also has stated numerous times along with countless others in our community including myself and the federal government that LGBT rights ARE an international human rights issue. 

And you're the last one that needs to be talking about human behavioral issues.

As for the tired lynching line, try telling that BS talking point to Matthew Shepard's family.  Or reciting it to Paul Broussard's family.  Or try uttering it to the families of the hundreds of transpeople who have been murdered because of the anti-trans hate you and your TERF allies have been spreading.  

While the haters haven't been hanging LGBT peeps from trees, far too many of us are getting murdered, and when it comes to trans people, they disproportionately look like us.. Bottom line is that you are hypocritically being played by white conservatives who don't give a rats anus about your Black convicted sexual predator behind to oppose a human rights law.

And you and your friends aren't Christians, you're the purveyors of the 'dry as dust' religion that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr warned us about.

Worst Time For Black People In US History? Conservakneegrow Please!

One of the things that I absolutely hate about kneegrow (they don't deserve to be called Black) conservafools is that they will say and do anything to advance their own personal conservative credibility while throwing the rest of Black America under the bus.

The latest example of an Oreo cookie chomping fool cooning it up for his conservamassas is Mychal Massie.

In a waste of bandwith post for Wing Nut Daily, i addition to attacking affirmative action (which BTW conservafools, was created by Richard Nixon) this kneegrow wrote that 'affirmative action and the 1964 Civil Rights Act destroyed the Black community to the point that African-Americans were better off under Slavery and Jim Crow"

Seriously?

Naw consservafool, the best thing that has happened to African descended people in the United States was  the ending of slavery 150 years ago along with the end of Jim Crow segregation.


I submit that much of what ails Black America is because of the residual effects of those odious events of slavery and Jim Crow segregation combined by conservative political policies to roll back or eliminate the programs and laws designed to eliminate the problems cased by the 346 years that the federal government and many southern states were in the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr.'s words, 'doing something special against the Negro.'

And FYI Mychal, since it escaped you in history class, let me repeat this point for you once again.

Affirmative action was created during the Nixon administration.  Richard M/ Nixon was survey says, a Republican POTUS.  It has benefited White women far more than it has African-Americans.

If Massie thought this post was going to convert Black folks into voting for conservafools, um naw homes, all you did was reinforce mine and the perceptions of many thoughtful people in our ranks that conservatism is the political arm of white supremacy and you Black conservatives just need to have several seats an a sweet tea flavored glass of STFU.

On second thought, keep talking.  Kneegrow conservafools like you keep proving with every syllable you utter just how intellectually bankrupt 21st century conservatism is and why it continues to be massively rejected at the ballot box at 90% margins by our people.

If you think slavery was so great, then you and your fellow kneegrow conservative thinkers with severe cases of Obama Derangement Syndrome (treatable by Obamacare BTW) can go back to that halcyon in your mind time when our people were bought and sold like property, worked to death without pay, demonized, lynched, our women were raped and saw the children they bore sold off.

Then come back if you survive it, and tell us if your 'happy darkie' behind still thinks slavery and Jim Crow America is better than post-Civil Rights Act America.

No comparison as far as I'm concerned/.

Meanwhile, you Uncle Ruckus wannabee, leave the rest of us conscious thinking 21st Century Black people who paid attention in history class the hell alone while you peddle that claptrap to stupid conservative white people..

What Has The POTUS Done For My Community? More Than Your Party Has Lately

The RNC attempts to reach out to my African-American community and compete for its precious votes (when they aren't suppressing them) get more laughable by the day.

Because they stepped in it Sunday and got called out by Black Twitter, the Blackosphere and moi for their 'Racism is over' tweet on the anniversary of Rosa Parks' December 1, 1955 arrest that jump started the Montgomery Bus Boycott and a renaissance of the African-American Civil Rights movement, the Republifools trotted out this cookie chomping kneegrow, Orlando Watson to clean up their communications mess.   

Watson has the unenviable job of being the RNC's Communications Director for Black Media, and was only hired just last month.  Whatever five figure salary they're paying you, it isn't enough.




Laughing my behind off at Watson for parting his lips to even ask the question, 'What has the POTUS done for the Black Community?'  

For starters, if he'd even tried to do anything overtly tilted toward specifically helping the Black community, y'all conservafools would be cranking up the Conservafool Noise Machine, screaming bloody murder and ranting with foaming at the mouth rage at how 'racist' he is.

Oops, my bad, y'all do that already.   

But let's flip the script and ask the more pertinent question inquiring Black minds wanna know.  What have you Republicans done for the African-American community?   Nada, except give us grief.

And Orlando, in case your GOP paymasters haven't briefed your Oreo cookie chomping behind on what your party has done TO my people, here's the list.

Demonize it, suppress our right to vote, call us everything but children of God, massively disrespect the twice elected first African-American president and his family, cut funding for public education, block the jobs bill President Obama pushed that would create those good jobs, blocked an increase in the minimum wage that the POTUS supports, blocked legislation that makes it easier to join a union, block African-American and other Obama appointees to the federal courts, hate on and threaten to impeach Attorney General Eric Holder for doing his job, and blocked Rep. Mel Watt's FHFA nomination.  

Your party is also fighting to kill the signature accomplishment of President Obama in the Affordable Care Act that would move many of our people from the ranks of the uninsured for the first time and provide many benefits that we like.  

So considering you Teapublicans have been waving the Confederate flags and engaged in Massive Resistance 2.0 to everything President Obama has tried to accomplish in the last five years, it's amazing that he still succeeds despite you peeps showing your pointed hoods..   

So what has the POTUS specifically done for Black America?  

To answer the question, his administration oversaw the settlement that awrded $1.2 billion to Black farmers, got the ACA passed, got expanded funding for HBCU's, signed the Crack Cocaine Fair Sentencing Act that eliminates the punishment disparity between powder and crack cocaine that disproportionately punishes African-Americans, and created The Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department that has led the most aggressive defense by the federal government of our human rights since the Clinton administration.

And from where I sit as an African-American trans person, while you peeps are gearing up to hate on and demonize my community, President Obama has been busy becoming the best POTUS ever on trans issues.

So what has President Obama done for the African-American community?  More than you Republicans care to do or have done for my community in the last four decades.

Now where's my Janet Jackson Control CD?  Time for me and the Black community to sing 'What Have You Done.For Me Lately" loud enough for y'all to hear it at GOP Headquarters inside I-495. 

Better yet, we'll let you hear our voices speak loud and clear at the voting booth on November 4 as we hum that Janet tune on our way inside our favorite voting locations.. 

Saturday Sellout-Mia Love

Our latest edition of the TransGriot Saturday Sellout series of posts takes us to Utah and shines the spot on one Ludmya Bourdeau Love, the Mormon teabagging mayor of Sandy Springs, UT who came 786 uncomfortable votes short of unseating longtime Utah Democratic moderate Jim Matheson in 2012 and becoming the first African-descended female ever to be elected to Congress as a Republican

She's already declared and will be making another attempt to unseat Rep Matheson in 2014, so for those of you living in Utah's 4th Congressional District, get ready to do you part to ensure Jim Matheson is still representing you on November 4, 2014. .

Love is the other female face along with Angela McGlowan the Tea Klux Klan gleefully likes to put out there to 'prove' to us reality based African-Americans that their movement is diverse and not racist.  

Yeah, right. We know better.   As Zora Neale Hurston admonished us a long time ago, all our skinfolk ain't our kinfolk. 

It is by their policies they support ye shall know them, and Love promotes the same jacked up policies that her fellow Republifools promote. 

Her Haitian born parents are immigrants to this nation but she is anti-immigration and supports deportation.   

She has proposed eliminating the federally subsidized school lunch program and the funding that supports special education in public schools. She wants to halve the Earned Income Tax Credit that keeps millions of working people out of poverty, and she would radically slash housing subsidies that keep millions of poor people off the streets.

And even more disturbing, Love stated in 2012 that if she was elected, she would try to dismantle the Congressional Black Caucus.   Not no but hell no to that idea of dismantling the 'Conscience of the Congress'. 

Pretty Black face, same conservative cookie chomping bull feces that deserves a doll worthy of her policies. 
 

Saturday Sellout-Erik Rush

Been a while since I've done one of the Saturday Sellout posts in which I shine a bright spotlight on all the Oreo cooking chomping sellouts and conservafools you need to be aware exist

The latest one that has gotten my attention is Erik Rush. 

Born in New York City on January 1, 1961, he is the author of the waste of trees called Negrophilia, a  columnist for WorldNetDaily WingNutDaily and a regular contributor to Fox Noise and Canada Free Press.

Rush has penned such lovely sentiments as the 2005 howler that anyone who denies there is a 'War on Christmas' is "just like a Holocaust denier"., tweeted in the aftermath of the Boston marathon bombing "that all Muslims should be killed" and doubled down on the Islamophobia by stating that Islam is "wholly incompatible with Western society."

He then had the nerve to get huffy about the problematic Tweet  when people called his azz out for his inflammatory 'kill all Muslims' comments and claim in true conservafool fashion it was 'satire'. 

As for his Negro Iz U Sirius?!!!  award winning bordering on insane statements, the cookie chomping knee-grow stated in an April Fools Day 2010 WND column that Democrats were racist, and 'plying' Black leaders with a seat at he table while they keep Blacks stretched over a barrel with their cheeks spread. 

He also delusionally said on Fox Noise in the wake of the unjust SCOTUS ruling eviscerating Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act that it was more important to keep dead people from voting than worry about the suppression of minority voters



He also has ongoing hate for President Obama, blamed liberals for Trayvon Martin's murder and also wrote that the African continent and India were ripe for colonization because the peoples in those areas 'were one step out of the trees'.

And you wanna know why we reality based Black folks hate conservatism?  It's because of  off the charts house knee-grow conservafools like this who are spouting the same racist and offensive shyt that white conservafools say consistently to our community, but think we aren't paying attention when that same message comes out of a negroid* mouth. 

Erik Rush is definitely worthy of this Saturday Sellout spotlight post and one to watch for future Shut Up Fool award worthy commentary.  

Congrats on DOMA and Prop 8 Being Overturned...But

I don't feel much like celebrating when my human rights went backwards yesterday no thanks to another narrow 5-4 Supreme Court decision. 

When the conservafool dominated SCOTUS fracked with the Voting Rights Act Section 4 yesterday, it was akin to a punch to the gut

It was even more infuriating because a Oreo cookie chomping knee-grow sellout cast the deciding vote to help disenfranchise his own people.

I know civil rights is not a zero sum game, but that's the way it looks to a lot of African-Americans today inside and outside the trans and SGL community. One group got their rights advanced while the centuries old historical pattern of crapping on the human rights of African-Americans made a comeback.
The bitter irony in all of this is the SCOTUS VRA ruling was aided and abetted by a self hating Oreo cookie chomping knee-grow sellout who isn't fit to shine the shoes of the great justice Thurgood Marshall, much less follow him onto the Supreme Court. 

An additional bitter irony to SGL and trans peeps is that the same Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is being loudly praised in non person of color GL circles today for his marriage equality rulings is the same one who sided with the majority to roll back our human rights. 

It also takes place in a Supreme Court in which the Chief Justice of it made his reputation and his fortune working to kill the Voting Rights Act. 

I believe the SCOTUS ruled the way they did on the VRA to throw the conservative movement a bone over DOMA and Prop 8 rulings they knew the conservative movement would excoriate them for.

And I'm not the only African-American member of the SGL and trans community who doesn't really feel like celebrating today.   Take it away Jasmyne Cannick:

The white gay community has been banging its head against the glass ceiling of a room called equality, believing that a breakthrough on marriage will bestow on them parity with heterosexuals--because in all other areas including employment, home-ownership, wealth, healthcare, education, etc. one could argue that they are already equal in terms of access. Well congratulations, on today's rulings, you are that much closer to being equal with your white counterparts.

And while Black same-gender loving couples may benefit from today's rulings, I would be remissed if I didn't say that the right to marry does nothing to address our access to employment, home-ownership, wealth, healthcare, education, etc. and so for many of us the fight continues because being able to get married is half the battle, the other half, is being able to have a home to live in, a job to provide for your family, access to affordable healthcare to share with your family, and access to the type of education to make all of the above happen.

Not to mention our voting rights are now exposed to once again being suppressed and rolled back by the neo-Confederate Republicans who are hellbent on taking our human rights back to 18th century levels.

And some of you GLB folks enable that oppression by voting for them as 'proud conservatives'.

I can't forget that and the four century tortured history as an African descended American as you GLB folks are giddily hailing a major civil rights win.

50 years of hard, painstaking human rights work that people fought, marched, shed blood and died for just went poof at the hands of four black robed white males and their honorary white man (as declared by Pat Buchanan) Uncle Ruckus Thomas

It's also a wakeup call for this generation of kids and their elders not paying attention to the news cycle.  We just got the reminder yesterday by the Supreme Court that for African-Americans, we never have the luxury of presuming that our human rights are secure because they are always under attack. 

And Republicans and the conservative movement are all too willing to engage in rolling them back.

So congratulations GLB community for your hard fought marriage win.  But I won't be at the party raising appletini toasts with you. 

EW Jackson Misspells Title Of His Book On The Cover

The Tea Klux Klan and their knee-grow auxiliaries just keep making it too easy for me to mock and ridicule them.   We're going to do this in Final Jeopardy format (snicker, snicker)  

E.W Jackson, the cookie chomping sellout running for lieutenant governor of Virginia has a misspelled word on the front cover of his waste of trees book.  What is it?

And remember, your answer must be in the form of a question 

Cue Final Jeopardy think music

Times up, TransGriot readers.   What was your answer?

If you said, What is 'Commandments'? you are correct, TransGriot reader. 

Hey 'Bishop' Jackson, if  you can't spell, we damned sure don't need you making law.   Besides, your ideas and political stances are too batturd off the chain for you to even become the lieutenant governor of Virginia, much less be allowed to cast the tiebreaking votes in a deadlocked Virginia senate.  

And you know this fool just earned another Shut Up Fool Award nomination for this one..

Melissa Harris-Perry Eviscerates EW Jackson

Seems I wasn't the only African-American who was shining a spotlight on that cookie-chomping knee-grow  E.W. Jackson on Saturday

She tore him a new anus during her MHP show segment in which she penned a 'letter of advice' to the newly minted Virginia lieutenant governor candidate.

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Can't wait to hear what Rev. Al has to say about him..

Goodbye And Good Riddance Jennifer Carroll

The karmic wheel may have finally caught up with Florida Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll (R).

She made the problematic comment last year that women who look like her don't engage in 'relationships like that' during the height of a sex scandal in which she was accused of being involved  with a female staff member.

She was vehemently criticized for the lesbophobic comments and later apologized. 

Now the word is out that she resigned Tuesday as Florida's Lt. Governor after being interviewed by Florida law enforcement officials as part of a widening gambling and racketeering scandal into Allied Veterans, a firm that she'd once done public relations work for and starred in a 2010 commercial for.

Several top officials of Allied Veterans have been arrested and charged with racketeering.

Sad that she's the one who made history as the first African-American to be elected statewide.

Stay tuned, this is probably going to get quite interesting.   But in the meantime, goodbye and good riddance Jennifer Carroll.   You  are another sterling example of why Black voters don't like conservatives and have the good sense NOT to vote for them.  

Break Out The Oreos, We Have A Cookie-Chomping US Senator

To no ones surprise, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R) chose Rep Tim Scott (R-SC) yesterday to fill resigning Senator Jim DeMint's remaining term in the US Senate.  

The 47 year old Scott is a Tea Klux Klan favorite who was elected to the House in 2010 from a district that includes north Charleston and Myrtle Beach, SC.  He beat the son of notorious segregationist Strom Thurmond in the GOP primary that year on his way to election..

Scott will be the first Black* senator from South Carolina, the seventh in US history and the first from the  South since Hiram Revels (1870) and Blanche K Bruce (1875-1881) represented Mississippi during Reconstruction. 

In addition to Revels and Bruce, the other Republican senator was Edward Brooke from Massachusetts.

He was the first African-American elected to the US senate by popular vote and represented the state from (1967-1979)  Brooke was a moderate Republican who championed mass transit, low-income housing and a higher minimum wage.  

The Democratic African-American senators all come from Illinois and includes the only Black female US senator in Carol Moseley Braun. She served from 1993-1999, was a prosecutor before winning political office and called for more restrictive gun laws during her tenure. Unfortunately she was defeated in her first re-election bid and was later appointed as the US ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa.

We know about the second US senator from Illinois because he now lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.  But before he became the 44th president of the United States in 2008,  in November 2004 Barack Obama was elected to the Senate in a landslide over his GOP opponent Alan Keyes.

When President Obama left the Senate, Roland W. Burris was appointed to Obama's seat on December. 31, 2008.  He served two years and was reprimanded by the Senate Ethics Committee for being misleading about his controversial appointment to the seat by then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Now that I've discussed the history of African-Americans in the US Senate,  back to the conservanegro about to replace Jim DeMint.   Scott achieved a 92 percent score on the Club for Growth’s legislative scorecard, which meant that he was more conservative than all but 30 members of the House.  

He will have to run for the seat in 2014, so South Carolina Democrats, you have time to get a candidate to take him on.

So yeah, the Republicans can point to Scott's nomination to the US Senate and claim until they're red in the face it's an example of how diverse their party is. 

Knee-grow sycophants mouthing the same failed conservative policies as their white brethern not only will not get our votes, but it's an insult to our intelligence if you think the only reason we vote for candidates is based on the color of their skin. 

But then again, that's a play you vanillacentric privileged conservafools have perfected. 

It's even more of an insult when you nominate a guy who earned an F on the NAACP Congressional Report card and supports policies hostile to African-Americans.

Let me count the ways. Scott called for the impeachment of President Obama if he raised the debt ceiling, is virulently anti-gay, opposes a woman's right to choose, the labor movement, opposes the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and repealing the Defense of Marriage Act and "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." 

And oh yeah, he's the first one along with Angela McGlowan and CL Bryant the Tea Klux Klan trot out when they need a knee-grow human shield to deflect attention from their racism. 

The conservafools are hailing Scott's Senate appointment, but many African-Americans aren't.   He's just another cookie-chomping knee-grow sellout to us. 

Break out the Oreos.

Jimmie Walker Cooning It Up On Fox

To my Canadian readers, here's another turkey that deserves carving up for Thanksgiving, the jive turkey variety.   It's old video, but here's Jimmie Walker kissing somebody azz besides Ann Coulter's on Fox Noise  and trying to conservasplain why he's not voting for President Obama.  

Yep, another trifling knee-grow that deserves a Negro Iz U Sirius?!!! Award.

(Thanks Denny for creating the graphic and sending it to me.) 





His trifling behind may think Mittbot is dyn-o-mite, but I and the other reality based 94% of the African-America electorate doesn't and will be casting our precious votes to give POTUS 44 four more years.
