Media ignore racial attack on Larry Elder because he’s a black Republican
The New York Post ^ | September 9, 2021 | Kyle Smith

Posted on 09/09/2021 6:40:38 PM PDT by TBP

Do a search for “Larry Elder” and gorilla on the CNN website and nothing comes up. Washington Post? Zilch. Nothing comes up on The New York Times site either, although if you make it to the 15th paragraph of a story titled “The Vice President pushed back against the effort to recall Newsom in the Bay Area,” you will find a bland passing reference to Wednesday’s disgusting incident.

According to our nation’s media leaders, it’s not a story that a white person wearing a gorilla mask attacked Larry Elder, a black man seeking to become the first non-white governor of California, by hurling an egg that touched his head.

If Elder were a Democrat, the attack would have been instantly and with good reason dubbed racist. It would not only be front-page news, it would be just about the only news you were hearing about today on CNN and MSNBC. Charles Blow, Perry Bacon and Jamelle Bouie would each be writing the first in a series of angry columns about it. So would Gail Collins, Jonathan Capehart, Jennifer Rubin, Michelle Goldberg, Paul Krugman, Maureen Dowd, Dana Milbank and Ezra Klein.

We would be treated to multiple news analyses about the history of the usage of gorilla tropes against blacks. Joy-Ann Reid, Rachel Maddow and Don Lemon would be doing hour-long broadcasts on the attack, convening panels discussing just how the attack pulls the scab off racism in America, and proves we have so much work left to do in dealing with the problem. Vox would commission a series about California’s grim history of racism dating back to the Chinese Exclusion Act, and Asian-American and Latino writers would hasten to explain that California’s historic hostility to all sorts of persons of color is as traditional as its Tournament of Roses parade.

I’m astounded that Democrats aren’t attacking her for her racist act.

The Democrats' view of minorities hasn't changed one iota since the day their party was founded almost 200 years ago. The only thing that has changed is the color of the hoods.

The same people who justified and supported the Governor of Virginia wearing blackface or a KKK uniform (we never did determine which) are dressing up in gorilla costumes and throwing eggs at a black man.

Demonicrats will be astounded how many African-Americans vote for Larry Elder, after he wins.

I’m just as amazed about the white assistant to Elder. He got slapped by the gorilla liberal chic then as he walked away the chrome dome head ANTIFA type guy whacks him even harder!
What the hell? When did assault become allowed on the open streets in California? Did anyone else see this blatant assaults?
