Cedric the Entertainer had it right in the movie, “Barbershop”. “I look at welfare and affirmative action as reparations.”

Racist, just because they are screaming at Conyers?? This is ridiculous. What’s racist is believing a black Congressman cannot take the heat.

there has always been a bit of wall tween the white left and the predominate black politic which is left

will be interesting to see how the brown left cozies up to pasty stupid naive white liberals

the old black militant left used to sleep with them, take their money and drugs and on occasion kill them when they had outlasted their usefulness

white leftists in America are about the dumbest most easily exploited little naive ninnies history’s has ever seen....

we’ve been paying reparations and losing freedoms over this redress for 4 decades now

an utter failure and I sure don’t feel better or less safe

and black culture is way way worse off now except for a small minority

reparations aside from the idiocy of it would just further ruin them

Did he analyze the CIA or was he an analyst for the CIA?For the record he was an analyst *for* the CIA. One who can always be counted on for a Bad Word on the current administration, especially when it's a Republican one. Sort of the Ramsey Clark of the Intelligence world. In fact he often appears with or acts in concert with RC.

Me too but...

I don't see any racism in Screechan/Pinkos list of complaints against Conyers. The author's point is made solely on the fact that Conyers is black.

The author needs to understand that he is the one injecting race into the mix.

"As for McGovern’s claim that Conyers is no Martin Luther King, we say, who is some white guy to tell us who is and who is not our leader or leaders?"

Yet, you let the Bill and Hillary convince you BJ was the first black president.

From our (Myopic)point of view (and speaking as progressive African Americans) Conyers is the outstanding member of Congress,

But here is something else. Year after year, actually every year since 1989, John Conyers has introduced into congress HR 40, the African American Reparations Study Bill. It is a bill that is likely the lowest common denominator of the Black reparations movement in the U.S. To date Conyers has never had the votes to get it out of committee,

Apparently he's the brightest bulb in the box if after 18 years it's still can't get it out of committee. Perhaps he should talk to "The Poodle" seems to me neither of them have a clue as to how our process works.

The racism is obvious my friend. Conyers is BLACK and those who criticize him are WHITE. It does not matter if the disagreement is about the war, oil drilling is ANWR, immigration or any other of a million issues. The FACT is if you are white and you criticize a black fixture of Congress such as Conyers, you are being a defacto racist. No further explanation needed.

Did I miss the "black connection," or did the author just spin one out of the clouds?

Medea is a newscamera junkie, and will go anywhere to get her camera fix. Her facial expression when she is on camera looks like any other addict under the influence of their drug of choice.

For those of you who didn’t know that Congressman Conyers has already collected on his reparations via the taxpayer..............Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi today defended Rep. John Conyers’, D-MI, as “the ideal pick for judiciary committee chairman” after the House Ethics Committee sanctioned Rep. Conyers for using taxpayer-funded staffers for political campaign work, babysitting and personal errands.

“who is some white guy to tell us who is and who is not our leader or leaders?”

Not to support a bunch of left-wing extremist, but I fail to see racism in their actions. I think it’s clearly evident from the article who is playing the “race card.”

I believe Cindy and company are bozos as well but I fail to see their “racism” here.
