NEW YORK, NY — A polarizing TV talk show sought to bring the Democratic Party back to its foundational roots this week, as John Oliver attempted to purchase a black man.
The Last Week Tonight host had reportedly grown tired of the modern norm of letting African Americans live as free citizens and make their own choices, seeking instead to restore the Democrat Party to its glory days by trying to buy a black man and keep him fully subjugated.
"This is what the Democratic Party was built on," Oliver said when asked about his controversial offer. "It's time for us to stop pretending to be in favor of freedom, tolerance, and open-mindedness. We are at our strongest when we force people who don't agree with us to do what we want them to do and say what we want them to say. It's about returning to what made our party great. That's why I'm making an honest and legitimate offer to buy a black guy."
Oliver's attempt came during a televised segment of his show, in which he offered to pay a very handsome price for revered Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. "I understand he's quite intelligent," Oliver said of his prospective purchase. "He's simply become far too free-thinking and has spent too much time being allowed to deviate from what he's supposed to be doing. My offer is intended to fix that problem by doing what Democrats have done throughout history: oppress and conform."
At publishing time, Oliver was said to be in the market to purchase additional black people should he find their political views were not to his liking.

I usually don’t get taken in, but I didn’t check the byline until I read the excerpt - and it was Babylon Bee!
Much closer to a Not-The-Bee article.
The Democrats have been extremely consistent since about 1828. Supporting the slave states, supporting the KKK, supporting Jim Crow, supporting segregation, supporting affirmative action, keeping blacks on the plantation, purchasing black men. They stick to their core beliefs.
Yes it’s bizzaro world because Dems DO support all that but they get away with saying they don’t.
I can just imagine Justice Thomas laughing once he read this Bee article.
Individual Democrats can’t legally buy Blacks but the Democrat Party has been legally buying Blacks by the millions since the1960’s
LBJ has maybe not bought them out right but he certainly has a long term lease with options to buy.
Absolutely.
And black men like Al Sharpton have been rounding them up for the Democrat auction.
The Bee got me again...
