L.A. Times Continues Questioning Larry Elder’s Claim to Be Black
Breitbart ^ | 9/10/21 | Joel B. Pollack

Posted on 09/12/2021 9:49:00 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

The Los Angeles Times has continued its racial attack on California gubernatorial challenger Larry Elder (R), this time on the news pages rather than in the opinion pages, with an article questioning his ties to the local black community.
The Thursday article, by Donovan X. Ramsey, is titled, “Larry Elder calls himself ‘Sage From South Central.’ But his ties to Black L.A. are fraught.” Ramsey cites “critics” of Elder who “say he’s the Black face of white supremacy and his proposals would harm Black and Latino Californians” — linking to the Times‘ own opinion column, “Larry Elder is the Black face of white supremacy. You’ve been warned.” The article follows the editorial line that black people with conservative political views can never be accepted as black.

“I think most Black people know that Larry Elder is a sellout,” one person is quoted as saying. Some who support Elder’s campaign against incumbent Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in the Sep. 14 recall are quoted as well, though the article concludes: “Elder, by far the leading candidate to replace Newsom if the recall passes, is unlikely to triumph based on how people in his old neighborhood will vote. Then again, his success never depended much on what people in places like South L.A. thought about him.” In a separate article, the Times described a physical attack on Elder on Wednesday by a white woman wearing a gorilla mask as if Elder were the aggressor, or somehow involved in the fight: “LAPD is investigating altercation involving Larry Elder at Venice homeless encampment.” The tweet for the article depicted Elder with his hand on a white woman’s face, as if to underscore the point.

This is what the left has always believed..if you are a Black Republican you are not black, if you are a Republican latino you are not really latino..if you are a woman who votes Republican you are not a real woman, etc etc

The machines are telling voters they have already voted. Let’s save our outrage for the purge.

Can somebody please clue me in on the use of “X.” as a middle initial by those who so freely play the race card? Is it a throwback to Malcolm X who claimed that using his given last name was to use a “slave name”?

No, Larry Elder leads black people by example — showing that one can be successful without race hustling.

It’s not “selling out” or being a “black white supremacist”.

But they know that already, and it hurts their grift industry…

I would have to guess that Elder’s ties to black America are a bit stronger than say, Barack Obama’s. Elder’s parents were both black Americans, born in this country. And Mr Elder grew up in America as well. His ‘blackness’ derives from black Americans as opposed to a black African who just happened to be passing through.

L.A. Times have any news articles about this?

White leftists are the true racists in America. No person of color is supposed to achieve anything on their own without the white liberal stepping in as the savior and hero against the supposed racists, i.e. THE MAN and his corrupt system.

Joy Reid, Don Lemon, Whoopie Goldberg, Richard Fowler, Marie Harf to name a few are all sell outs to the Marxist and anti-America. Larry Elder is all about America and her mixes of blood lines, he understands the Republic and recognizes that worth among nations.....and up until now, America stood tall among the free nations...Biden has changed that for his world following the dictates of Pelosi, Schumer, Harf, Rice, and the Squad, a little group of non-Americans seeking to destroy the Republic.

Shame upon those that put a sick man in the highest office in the land; if those same people wanted a Marxist nation so badly or voted for a party that has become Marxist...they have ruined, nay almost destroyed my country, America and I do intend to fight for this Republic.
