BLOOMBERG WRITER: BLACK REPUBLICANS ARE A 'LOWER' GROUP
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/ ^ | 10 May 2014, 7:27 AM PDT | W.T.Huston

Bloomberg writer Francis Wilkinson recently wrote a piece claiming that Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina--an African American--only became a senator because Republicans "lowered the bar" for his appointment. He also claimed that Scott’s candidacy serves as a "shield" for racist Tea Party members to hide behind.

In an article that is more invective than analysis, Wilkinson essentially called Senator Scott a do-nothing senator. He said Scott acted like a "shield" for racist, Confederate flag-waving Tea Party members who need someone to replace Herman Cain as the favorite candidate behind whom they can hide their racism.

Wilkinson made these assessments because Scott didn't get a Tea Party challenger even as so many other incumbents across the country did.

But the writer answered his own question in his own piece as to why Scott may not have faced a Tea Party challenger. "Scott placed himself so far to the right that there was no space for a Tea Party challenge on ideological grounds," Wilkinson wrote.

The columnist further reported that Scott "has an 'F' on the NAACP legislative scorecard" and a high score on the "right-wing Heritage Action scorecard--94 out of a possible 100."

The left says the same about Clarence Thomas.

When it comes to their opinion of blacks who slip the liberal plantation leftists are the definition of the racists they complain about.

Got it. Republicans hide their racism by not being racist. Wow.

Of course it doesn't make any sense! Wilkinson, or whatever, has little or no idea what he is writing or what he is doing. He could be a probbie on 60-day approval hire who was assigned this hit piece (for some unknowable reason) by a lazy and hateful assignment editor.

Liberal blacks can play only one tune..."race"!

If anyone can name one truly liberal black (not Harold Ford, he doesn't qualify--too middle of the road) who has any other concern than race...I'll eat my hat.

Valerie Jarrett, Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Susan Rice, and others of this ilk. Need salt with that?

With all the ugly truths coming out in the IRS ‘Republican vote suppression’ scandal, NSA overreach, EPA corruption, negligent homocides by the VA, and Benghazi, it is not fantasy to believe that team Barry outright STOLE the 2012 election.

I have a theory:

Democrats are terrified of black conservatives and republicans.

Good for Rep. Scott for getting an F on the naacp scorecard.

In my book it means 'F' as in Fantastic.

Sometimes, I think Thomas has gone a bit nuts from his isolation and all that has happened to him over the years.

I almost feel bad voting for Tim Scott's re-election but I will anyway. (Imagine the immense pressure of being a part of that special Senate club but NEVER EVER be truly accepted by the 99.)

The situation is, that the GOP does not ethnically define everyone.

That is in fact, the major difference between the viewpoint of white America, and the rest of the world.

Whites in America have given up racial definition for the most part. Even to a harmful extent. But they have.

Democrats define everyone and everything, all the time. So do Asians. Africans. South Americans.

Everyone but whites.

Whites are for some reason considered to be different.

That it in my view one of the main differences between the two parties.

I feel the Bloomberg writer is completely wrong on this.

Barack Obama, Eric Holder and their ilk are racist through and through...even though Susan Rice doesn't seem to be a racist. She's even married to a white guy

I think Susan is just a useful bureaucrat.

And a committed Marxist.

It is equally telling that we don’t hear mainstream blacks crying out for HIS exile, HIS castration, HIS prosecution and denigration. If I were a black man, I’d be sorely pissed and ashamed at the same time.

I'm not a black man, but as a man, I'm sorely pissed and ashamed of the white fag bastard that issued this garbage.

I'd like to see Senator Scott come face to face with this pansy and ask him to repeat his charges directly to his face.

I know Scott is a committed Christian and doubt that he would provoke an argument over this. He understands that being an only black and in a white Senate is not the largest obstacle facing him.

Progressives have it all figured out. It's like Glowbullwarming, if you don't vote for the black guy ... racist. If you do vote for the black guy ... racist.

Articles that explain how modern liberals suffer from a mental disorder.

Maybe the Democrat’s will classify them as 3/5th of a person.

[ Maybe the Democrat’s will classify them as 3/5th of a person. ]

The ironic thing is that if the south did count black slaves as 1:1 for matters of distributing representatives the House they would have steamrolled over the North and Slavery would have been legalized.

I really loathe how the Libs misinterpret how the 3/5 compromise was pro-slavery when it was actually the closest position to anti-slavery the north could have taken at the time.

Fredrick Douglas has written about the 3/5th thing and his say in the matter is very enlightening.
