Free Republic

Liberals have created an unspoken code of conduct that says it is condoned and encouraged for Democrats to insult black Republicans, particularly black female Republicans. Black Republicans must be effectively blowing up the stereotype all blacks are not liberals because I’ve noticed a rash of Twitter accounts have been created by Democrat operatives with the sole purposes of attacking me to silence me. Unlike some blacks who call themselves independents in order to be more palatable to the mainstream media establishment, I don’t straddle the center. I call myself a Republican and this really BOTHERS Democrats because I’m not black...

Black Republicans for the most part have been conspicuously absent so far during the 2012 Presidential Primary Sweepstakes. But, in fairness Black members of the GOP in general have perhaps been more scarce than usual in 2012 for the same reason the party’s conservative base has dragged its collective feet in embracing Willard Romney the presumptive nominee; they’re just not that into him. But, regardless of their reticence, there is an election this November and Romney and the GOP clearly need all hands on deck if they want to take back the White House. So, where are the Black Republicans?...

Whitney Houston died at the age of 48. Most articles about her death said something like, "Houston struggled with drug and alcohol problems for years ..." But Houston also struggled with something else that black Republicans and black non-Democrats can understand: ridicule and ostracism for "selling out," or "acting white," or not being "black enough." Ebony, the black monthly magazine, wrote about the then-27-year-old: "Black disc jockeys have chided her for 'not having soul' and being 'too white.' ... She was booed at the Soul Train Music Awards. ... It's enough to drive a good Christian girl to drink, drugs...

Words matter in matters of race and sex. Herman Cain probably knows this better than anyone. In fact he made a point of correcting David Gregory’s chosen vernacular on “Meet The Press” when he told the moderator that he preferred to be called ‘black’ as opposed to ‘African’ -American in the context of defining his race. Important distinction.

  Déjà Vu: Slandering Black Conservatives David C. Stolinsky Nov. 3, 2011 We’ve seen it all before, and we hoped not to see it again − but we are, 20 years later. “It” is the hypocrisy of Democrats. “It” is the thinly veiled racism of liberals. “It” is the disgusting stereotype of the hypersexual black male, which used to be spread by Southern Klansmen, but now is spread by Northern liberals. I used to put “liberals” in quotes when I pointed out the profoundly illiberal beliefs that some so-called liberals hold. But if people define themselves as liberals, who...

Ann Coulter responds to a report from the "liberal publication" Politico that Herman Cain sexually harassed two women while he was the president of the National Restaurant Association. The most damning part of the report, which is not well sourced, seems to be that Mr. Cain made "physical gestures" that weren't sexual in nature, but made the women uncomfortable: There were also descriptions of physical gestures that were not overtly sexual but that made women who experienced or witnessed them uncomfortable and that they regarded as improper in a professional relationship.

What to do about Herman Cain? This question goes not to the Republican Party, where "establishment" candidates like Mitt Romney privately dismiss Cain as lacking the experience, gravitas and resources to beat President Barack Obama and then to soundly govern the country. Herman Cain is not going to be the GOP nominee. Without a serious star-power staff, a ground game, chits to be called in by the candidate or the candidate's influential network of friends of influence, the "fat cats" sit on their checkbooks until and unless they believe their horse can win. A serious presidential candidate is not one...

The highlight of every Tea Party Express tour is the extraordinary American patriots I meet. Felix is from Russia and became a proud American 16 years ago. I shared with Felix that for years I performed my original song, “Celebrate America”, at U.S. Immigration Citizenship Ceremonies. I was struck by the number of seniors tearfully taking the oath of citizenship; some so old they were in wheelchairs and some needing support by family members to stand. Why was it important for these seniors to become official U.S. citizens despite their ages? Felix, formerly a Russian, replied, “When you have lived...

Herman Cain defies the stereotype of blacks as liberal. And his embrace of conservatism and rugged individualism might make him the Republicans' best salesman – and counter to Obama. Black candidates must be especially image savvy to navigate the delicate contours of today’s racial politics. They must cultivate racial appeal, without provoking racial resentment, and expend their racial capital, without succumbing to the litany of stereotypes whites associate with them. We thought Barack Obama mastered this art, believing future black candidates must learn at his feet. But Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain might prove more teacher than apprentice. My co-author,...

E.W. Jackson's Campaign Kick-Off! Dear Friend, Americans are calling for a new era of leadership, and two weeks ago I announced my intention to answer that call by stepping forward to serve Virginia as its next United States Senator. The history of my family in Virginia dates back to around 1778, the period of the Revolutionary War. Only in American can an heir of former slaves become a candidate for the United States Senate. All of our ancestors suffered to give us this freedom we enjoy, and now that freedom is threatened by oppressive debt, confiscatory taxation and job killing...

ACORN whistleblower co-founds 1st black Tea Party movement in Sheila Jackson Lee’s back yard By: MataHarley Yet another tea party movement forms, and this group will provide more than the usual pride in citizens, standing up against a government they demand be reined in. Why? This tea party movement is made up of those supposed non-existent black Americans. And what gives me yet another smile is that this group is formed right under the nose of Dem Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who made news in the past two days demonstrating her lack of Constitutional knowledge when she proclaimed any repeal...

Despite allegations of racism in Tea Party organizations, the Republican Party, and conservative groups, 2010 has witnessed more black Republican activism than ever before. Thirty-seven African Americans in 16 states have been in contention for seats in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives this year. Fox News reports, “The Republican Party is hoping to put a record number of African Americans in Congress after Tuesday’s election; despite the fact the first black president is highly unpopular within the party.”

In this film, you can ad to my count, Cons 2-Libs 0. To quote the YouTube site: The Runaway Slave movie crews were at Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor Rally” and at Al Sharpton’s “Reclaiming the Dream March” on Aug 28th. As the two ideologies clashed in DC, our movie crews were on the scene. In this raw footage, shot near the future MLK memorial site, Black Conservatives leaving the “Restoring Honor” rally encounter Sharpton’s protestors who were holding signs claiming “Tea Party Racism.” This is just one of debates that we captured after the rally had ended.

At Glenn Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ rally this past Saturday in Washington, D.C, a group of black Conservatives were approached by liberals who think they have a grasp of African American history. Within the video one says “What happened to your African religion? You’re supposed to be Muslim.” Then, one of the tolerant liberals drops a word-bomb with a splash of racism, “Christianity is a white man’s religion.”

Black conservatives holding a press conference in Washington, D.C. this week to show their support of the Tea Party Movement were challenged by members of the liberal media who still cling to the belief that the movement is racist.

The National Press Club in Washington DC was the scene of an historic event, August 4, 2010. For the first time in U.S. history, black conservative leaders from across America gathered for a national press conference. Their purpose was three fold. One, to rebuke the NAACP's resolution accusing the tea parties of being racist. Two, to introduce themselves to America. Three, to dispel the myth that black conservatives are as rare as Bigfoot sightings.I am Lloyd Marcus, the press conference organizer and spokesperson of Tea Party Express which hosted the event. Constantly, I am confronted by the liberal mainstream media,...

Watch video as these black conservatives shred the lies and false charges that are killing this country. They talk about the black individual that killed 9 in Connecticut and blamed "RACISM". The false charge of racism must stop now.

Two reporters engage in a heated exchange with black conservative leaders at a press conference at the National Press Club on August 4, 2010 challenging the NAACP on its charges of racism within the tea party. You have got to watch this!!!! I am so proud of them to stand up for what is right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GizNwzKo3n8

Reporters vs. Conservative Black Tea-party members An absolute must see.

Black conservatives join hands to deny racism within the Tea Party movement Posted: August 4th, 2010 04:01 PM ET From CNN Political Producer Shannon Travis A group of African-American conservatives praised the Tea Party movement at the National Press Club Wednesday. A group of African-American conservatives praised the Tea Party movement at the National Press Club Wednesday. Washington (CNN) - Just over three weeks after the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People passed a resolution accusing the Tea Party movement of harboring racist elements, a group of African-American conservatives joined hands in a chorus saying: "we are not...

Lets move while the momentum is hot! As I scan the political horizon for the next George Washington, One man stands out and that is Herman Cain. After listening to him speak at mulitple tea parties and his radio show I believe he holds the foundational principal which our nation was built upon so many years ago. I started this meetup site to assist Draft Cain 2012 and help develop a core group of volunteers in the Tampa Bay area. You should join this meetup if you feel as I do we need strong proven leadership and someone who will...

He could be President Obama's worst nightmare – a business mastermind, a natural problem solver and a black man of "substance" who says he would "take the race card off the table" in a challenge against Obama as the GOP presidential candidate in 2012. "We need a realistic candidate to run on the Republican ticket who can beat Barack Obama – not just beat the Democrats," Herman Cain, an Atlanta radio talk-show host, former CEO of Godfather's Pizza and 2004 Senate seeker, told WND. "We've also got to beat Barack Obama." He added, "Obama is a master of rhetoric. He...

This is a great Tea Party rant! I have no idea who this lady is, but I'd love to have an opportunity to vote for her. After having the Tea Parties assaulted in the media as racist redneck rallies, it's encouraging to hear a real American Tea Partier respond with vigor, "It doesn't matter what you call us, only what we answer to! - Citizens and patriots of these here United States!" Quite frankly, we need more plain-spoken real Americans like this looking out for our interests in DC, and fewer of the effete elitists that are currently so busy...

I am are going to tell the truth about the Tea Party and expose the lies of the NAACP!

A new University of Washington poll suggests Tea Party supporters are not just angry about government spending and the new national health care law. "The data tells us this opposition and frustration with government is going hand in hand with a frustration and opposition to racial and ethnic minorities and gays and lesbians," said Matt Barreto, a political science professor and director of UW's Washington Poll.

WASHINGTON - The midterm congressional elections are seven months away. Republicans are already promising a strong effort to take back the majority and they're attracting candidates who are already making history. At least 30 African-Americans in 16 states are running for the U.S Senate and the House of Representatives. It's a surge of black Republican activism that America hasn't seen since the Reconstruction era. Returning to Slavery? Charles Lollar is one of the candidates. As a major in the Marine Corps Reserves and a businessman, Lollar is taking on the second most powerful Democrat in the House, Majority Leader Steny...

I am exhausted. I returned home after performing at tea parties in 42 cities, from Searchlight, NV to Washington, D.C., in nineteen days while on the Tea Party Express III tour. I'm black conservative singer/songwriter, entertainer, author, and spokesperson Lloyd Marcus. I wish to share with you how the liberal mainstream media has dealt with my participation on the Tea Party Express III tour. Liberal mainstream media all but call me an Uncle Tom. Their reports imply that I am a token black too stupid to realize that I am being used by the tea party movement. In typical liberal...

NBC Reporter To Black Man At Tea Party: "Have You Ever Felt Uncomfortable?" NBC News reporter Kelly O'Donnell questions a black man at the DC tax day tea party.

I began with an inner city Christian newspaper that I founded, moved on to start my current organization CURE -- Coalition for Urban Renewal and Education, wrote three books, and have written a weekly opinion column for the last five years. I've spoken at over 200 universities and in 49 of 50 states. All of this effort has been aimed to deliver one basic message. That the barrier between America's chronically poor and the American dream is the welfare state socialism which was supposed to be our answer to poverty. As a young woman I was on welfare myself.

Black Conservative Tea Party Backers Take Heat VALERIE BAUMAN, Associated Press Writer – Tue Apr 6 ALBANY, N.Y. – They've been called Oreos, traitors and Uncle Toms, and are used to having to defend their values. Now black conservatives are really taking heat for their involvement in the mostly white tea party movement — and for having the audacity to oppose the policies of the nation's first black president. "I've been told I hate myself. I've been called an Uncle Tom. I've been told I'm a spook at the door," said Timothy F. Johnson, chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation,...

African American Tea Party Candidate Upset With Cohen Comments FAST FACTS: * Congressman Steve Cohen says Tea Party hostile to anybody not "George Wallace clone" * Cohen's African American Tea Party opponent upset * Tea Party Candidate hopes to benefit from Cohen/Herenton battle (Memphis 04/04/2010) More sparks fly in the race for the 9th congressional district. Congressman Steve Cohen is said to be out of touch and this time the candidate throwing the punches is not his fellow Democratic opponent, Willie Herenton. The congressman's recent appearance on an internet radio talk show has some crying foul, including another candidate vying...

Conventional wisdom holds that the Tea Party movement must be racist—after all, as Keith Olbermann has asked, “where are the people of color” at their rallies? Somehow, Sean Hannity managed to find one last night: Erik Rush, the columnist who first broke the story of Barack Obama’s old pal, Rev. Jeremiah Wright: Wright-gate is familiar ground for Hannity, which, while valid and relevant, even many of his supporters are probably tired of revisiting, so let’s instead focus on this quote: RUSH: The correspondence and so forth, it’s like, I’m a slime, ‘How can you get on TV with that horrible...

I am on the Tea Party Express tour bus traveling to our next rally in Provo, Utah. We just left St George, Utah. At the rallies, I perform my original "American Tea Party Anthem" song and more. I usually walk among the crowds when I am not on stage. I have attended over 100 tea parties across America and the crowds are all the same; bright, well informed, decent and hard working Americans. Today, at our St. George, Utah rally, I felt a new level of love and concern for our country. There were numerous veterans, some from as far...

I performed my "American Tea Party Anthem" and "Twenty Ten: We're Gonna Vote Them Out" at CPAC as a representative for TeaPartyExpress.org. I was struck and excited by the high number of youths in attendance (over 50% were under 25 years old). With liberal iron-fisted dictatorship regimes ruling most of America's campuses, how did these kids survive the attempts to indoctrinate them? Those with whom I chatted said they simply figured it out. Just the other day, a friend's daughter, who is a freshman in college, complained about being forced to write a flowery essay about how Obama mirrors Martin...

Washington, DC: --- As Black History Month draws to a close, the web site The Root has chosen to publish a hateful article that demeans black conservatives solely for their political views -- grouping them with brutal dictators, convicted criminals and self-centered celebrities. This has drawn a stinging rebuke from Project 21 member Bob Parks. "It doesn't take much for liberals to call black conservatives 'self-hating,'" noted Parks, "but what is it called when someone decides that blacks deemed inappropriate should be wholly removed from history? What kind of egos are we talking about here?"The Root is operated by The...

It's hardly news that black conservatives are reviled among much of the left. There seems to be a sense among much of the liberal media that they have betrayed their own interests through their conservative principles. Few, however, would have the (dare I say it) audacity to lump prominent and accomplished African American political figures in with oppressive genocidal dictators and serial killers. But TheRoot.com, a blog owned by the Washington Post, seems to have no qualms about doing so, as evidenced in its list of 21 "Black Folks We'd Like To Remove From Black History". Among the names are...

Contrary to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream, I am judged harshly by the color of my skin because my opinion is usually not voiced by most voting African Americans. As a conservative African American, my views on politics in general, and President Barack Obama in particular, are usually dismissed as an aberration. After his first year in office, Obama revealed what many ignored about the content of his character -- even though much of it was evident in his short legislative record and comparatively long community organizing career and radical associations. Obama is all about deception as a disciple of...
