Is Toure Joe Scarborough's pen name?

"Is Herman Cain the Most Unctuous Black Man Alive?"

[Lazamataz]

Toure compared Cain to a circus clown, called him a "buffoon," compared him to "rancid, spoiled, stinky, curdled milk" and dissed him (in the liberal mind) by calling him "the Black Sarah Palin." In the midst of that, he somehow scolds Cain for "sinking to teenage-level disses." He began.

What a racist clown 'Toure' is.

You know, I really hate racists.

Why does 'Toure' have to be so racist?

Racism is awful. 'Toure' participates in racism.

Isn't it time we call for 'Toure' to retract his racism?

Doesn't MSNBC need to stop hiring racists?

'Toure's racism is disgusting.

'Toure', stop being a racist.

Wow, they are really pissing their collective pants over Herman Cain.

[A_Former_Democrat]

There’s nothing more hypocritical than a liberal talking about race

And The Hermanator is proving it

[Yaelle]

Every time they insult Cain, we should respond with “and Obama is...?”

They have nothing.

No, I believe that title is still retained by the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

The author of the article, one who has named himself “Toure” has revealed a lot about himself by his choice of nom de plume.
He has taken the name of -
“Ahmed Sékou Touré (var. Ahmed Seku Ture) (January 9, 1922 – March 26, 1984) was an African political leader and President of Guinea from 1958 to his death in 1984.

“During his youth and after becoming president, Touré studied the works of communist philosophers, especially those of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin.

“During his presidency Touré led a strong policy based on Marxism, with the nationalization of foreign companies and strong planned economics. He won the Lenin Peace Prize as a result in 1961. Most of the opposition to his socialist regime was arrested and jailed or exiled.”
This data comes from Wikipedia.

This is Mr Toure’s namesake, and I daresay hero, therefore his venomous screeds should be taken in the context of one who admires genocide, slaughter and cold blooded murder.

Nice pedigree Mr. Toure.

I need to thank Ann Coulter for teaching me several years ago that any conservative candidate or politician will always, always be described as either stupid or evil by the media.

Having thus been inocculated, I can read such crap with general ease.

Early life

Touré was given his name by his mother after she read an article in Time magazine about Sekou Touré, then President of Guinea. In 1989, Touré graduated from Milton Academy in Milton, Massachusetts.[citation needed]

So is "unctuous" just another way of saying "uppity"?

I'd have to say there are plenty of unctuous people out there, Black and White, college presidents, Reverends, activists, etc.

And I'm curious about the qualification by sex/gender.

Is that to let Maya Angelou off the hook?
