You Got Two Conservanegroes Elected to Congress-So What?

I'll be willing to state for the record that none of them will be taking the oath of office in January 2011.   TransGriot  May 20, 2010    '32 Black Republicans Running For Congress-So What?



Well, some comservafools came on here gloating in the wake of the November 2 midterm election pointing out that particular comment I made in that May post.

I also flushed those comments because they were disrespectfully racist as well.    Go figure.

So I was wrong on that one.    I still get more stuff right than the entire conservafool movement put together.  

Yeah, the GOP is happy they have two new sellout conservanegros to point to in (yeccch) Representatives  Allen West (R-FL)  and Tim Scott (R-SC).   They will once again try to pimp that tired 'we're not racist' line when we know they are and their historical record before and after 1964 is irrefutable evidence of it

Scott and West are the first Black Republicans elected to office since 1994 and they quickly installed Tim Scott in their House leadership team to add a little melanin to the still lily white line up.   Ironically Scott is in the same number 4 leadership spot that former Congressman JC Watts (R-OK) occupied when he left Congress in 2003.

In the meantime Allen West has become the first negro Republican since Gary Franks (R-CT)  in 1994 to join the Congressional Black Caucus.

I have every expectation that Scott and West will continue the same sorry path as other conservanegroes of trying to show their white wing buddies that they can be more 'conservative than thou' and oppress the Black folks more than they can.  

I predict they will be making frequent appearances on Faux News to pimp the GOP agenda that emerges  from the Republifool controlled House and their names will be floated as possible GOP vice presidential nominees in the 2012 GOP presidential primary battle.   .

Despite all their efforts, the conservative movement still won't get why we vote at 90% clips for Democratic candidates.   We aren't as stupid as your base.   We know all too well what Zora Neale Hursron pointed out a long time ago and what Clarence Thomas and a legion of Black conservatives prove every chance they get.

'All my skinfolk ain't my kinfolk'

Is it November 6, 2012 yet?.

GOP Is the New Black? Conservanegro Please!

While I was rolling home on Loop 610 eastward  past the Scott Street exit enroute from spending an enjoyable Sunday afternoon with my cousins out in Alief I passed the latest creation from the conservafool behind the false MLK billboard that made me do a double take.

The latest one states that 'GOP is the new Black'.   Really?   In what alternate universe?

It's more like 'GOP is the New Fascism'.

Thank God I'd had time to digest my food and have a few glasses of red wine to mellow me out before seeing that divorced from reality piece of  propaganda.

Did your cookie chomping behind not think Black peeps weren't paying attention for the last two years?   Unlike your easily bamboozled low information Tea Klux Klan followers, you can't sell those woof tickets to us.

Your party has openly disrespected the first African-American president, the First Lady and his family, made loud calls in predominately white forums where you can count the number or non-whites there on two hands to 'take our country back',  and every Black conservative running for office flaps his or her lips to parrot failed policies that the other 90% of us grounded in pragmatic reality oppose because they harm our community.

Apostle Claver and his GOP sellouts need to quit being house Negroes that loves their GOP massa and join the rest of us in the fields fighting the powers that be.

But no, they like being in the GOP big house with Michael Steele, Pat Buchanan and company too much.

Negro GOP Congressional Candidates Mad Because They're Being Ignored By GOP

Was chuckling over a report that campaign managers for three GOP congressional candidates, Chuck Smith in Virginia, Charlotte Bergmann in Tennessee and Marvin Scott in Indiana are upset because they have received no support from the Republican party.   They are sentiments and complaints echoed by the other 14 conservanegro Republican candidates in this election cycle as well.

Duh, wake up and smell the Oreo cookies baking in the oven.

Did you not think that the anti-Black rhetoric being uttered by your fellow vanilla flavored conservafools didn't apply to your sellout delusional behinds?   It's past time for y'all to check the alarm clock and wake the hell up  

If you are a Black Republican bristling over the fact that I called these candidates sellouts, tough.   You are a sellout if you support failed economic, social and political policies that are going to harm the vast majority of your people while you and the majority group you shill for benefit personally from them.

As for the weak argument that we need to as a people to be involved strategically in both parties so that they 'don't take us for granted' that is also being spouted in GLBT circles right now, on paper that would be a logical strategy if the Republicans were honestly proposing and enacting policies that benefited the African American community.

In the current American political climate in which the GOP is going to the fascist right to lock up the white bigot vote while demonizing non-whites, it ain't and doesn't work

If you think I'm kidding, ask the Latino community how well it's worked for them.  Note all the anti-Latino hatred coming from the GOP right now despite Latinos voting in large numbers for them in the 2000 and 2004  election cycles     

A minority group cannot afford to disperse its vote and history teaches us that there's power in concentrated bloc voting numbers.  Latinos tried that dispersal strategy and guess what, they still got played and disrespected by the GOP.

As Jackie from the Things According to Me blog stated on the discussion we had on my Facebook page on this topic:

The GOP and it's ummm.. affiliates today make it illogical to be supported by black people or black politicians. If it were only political ideological differences we were talking about, I'd agree that we should consider giving the Repubs a serious look.

But, it's also hate, bigotry, obstruction and racism that's front and center on the right. And, the GOP does not seem to care if we vote for them. They make no effort to consider us in their platforms in any way.

No, they don't, they haven't and won't ever since they started courting the Dixiecrats in the late 60's early 70's and crafted the odious 'Southern Strategy'.

But back to the cookie chomping negroes running for Congress under the GOP label.  Have fun losing your races next Tuesday.  In a predominately Black congressional district or any political race a sellout Republifool can't get elected to dog catcher, much less a congressional seat unless they are running unopposed or the Democrat is a truly atrocious scandal-ridden candidate.

Until the African-American Republican gives us a reason to consider voting for them by consistently supporting policies that will benefit us, and vigorously compete for our vote instead of trying to be more conservative than their white brethren,. that will continue to be the case for election cycles to come.
