I just saw a black guy in the CPAC crowd...

[MrScorpio]

He's like a lone raisin in a bowl of rice pudding.

Poor fellah.

[redqueen]

1. Poor fella my ass.

Dude is probably loaded. Why else would he be there?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

5. he's a media guy? trying to remain incognito?

[redqueen]

7. Yeah...

that would also explain it. In that case, poor fella indeed.

[whoohoo]

9. wow. nice use of words. and characterization of someone

[Gidney N Cloyd]

10. Seems about right to me. Why else do you think he'd be there?

[whoohoo]

13. because it is somthing he believes. not because he is on something.

wow, just wow.

[there but 4 fortune]

16. Exactly.

Whatever happened to CHOICE. Black people have the right to choose which party they belong to, folks!

[whoohoo]

17. thats what I thought as well..

but I guess if you are a monority or a women and you are GOP then there must be something wrong with you!


please people... grow up.

[there but 4 fortune]

22. To be honest, I am glad to see people of color and more women in the GOP

because it reflects back upon society. Yeah, it may be used as a way to attract minorities to the party-and? What was Geraldine Ferraro's pick as Veep about? Same thing!

Tolerance is a liberal trait. More is needed here!

[MrScorpio]

30. The problem is that these women and people of color usually turn out to be pretty disgusting people

And the wingers push these clown out front of everyone as a cover for the racism, bigot and misogyny that they promote.

It's pretty shameful.

[Fuzz]

23. I know, so outrageous! My god people! So what if he's a cow at a chilli convention.

[MrScorpio]

20. This is America. So if a black guy decides to join up with quasi-fascist bigots...

He should be free to do so, right?

Sure, why not?

Freedom to self-hate should be every American's God given right.

[tblue]

44. Agreed.

I don't get it but I'm sure the guy finds something in that party he likes OR MAYBE nothing in the Democratic party he likes. I have friends who are black (me too) who are conservative republicans because they are evangelical anti-gay marriage church people.

It's a very very old friendship. She used to be a Sermon on the Mount kind of Christian. Then she got married and moved to a conservative area and became one of them. If she and I met now, we wouldn't have enough in common to become good friends. But we go way back and I love her dearly. She also has a very dear friend who is gay. She has nothing against him but it's the marriage thing she can't get past.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

53. Loaded can also mean "filthy rich"

which I how I interpreted it.

[redqueen]

55. That's exactly what I meant...

I missed whatever other meaning people were inferring... anyone care to clue me in please?

I mean what other possible meaning could explain aligning with those sick fucks?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

59. Drunk

[redqueen]

57. Oh FFS... yeah, the bigot party is a big draw for inebriated folks, right?

[pinboy3niner]

62. Nope, that one's still active

The other one got banned. (Easy to get them mixed up, though. )

[redqueen]

63. Oh, oops

Better edit that!

[LiberalLoner]

2. Wonder what that one lone guy thinks of "The end of multiculturalism"

[JoePhilly]

27. "No more Mexicans!!!" .... ???

[baldguy]

3. Don't you mean THE black guy?

[riderinthestorm]

4. Herman Cain nt

[1ProudAtheist]

6. He Is Just

a server working the crowd for drink orders.

[msanthrope]

41. What the hell? Not funny, not cool. nt

[1ProudAtheist]

50. Would

it have sounded better if I said that he was one of the black kids hired by Dinglegrinch to scrub the toilets?

My sarcasm must be too much for you. Kind of like the joke about what do you call a pretty woman in West Virginia? A tourist.

It is highly unlikely, and nearly impossible to comprehend that a person of color would be attending a bigot convention. Hope this helps you sleep better tonight, but I doubt it...........you seem to be wound up awefully tight today.

[redqueen]

56. No, it's not like that joke.

That joke mocks women from WVa for being sterotypically viewed as unattractive.

The one you made mocks black people for being stereotypically viewed as hired help.

I see a big difference there myself.

[tblue]

45. No. Come on.

He's just a right-winger. I know you didn't mean that the way it sounds.

[1ProudAtheist]

51. What

I meant was that seeing a person of color at a bigot convention would leave one to think that he is being used. Sorry if my sarcasm went over your head.

[bigtree]

8. that's got to be a tough way to go

. . . those folks can be cruel. Hope he has a big Romney sign to cover him on his way out. He could get hurt.

[Rex]

14. You know...

the sad thing is there is truth in your jest. He could get hurt. Some of the 'elders' in that room would have lynched him, in their younger days, without a second thought.

[bigtree]

66. no jest

[there but 4 fortune]

11. Why feel sorry for someone who is choosing to follow who he does?

Unless you think he needs a White person to lead him in the proper direction?

[MrScorpio]

15. Well, if he thinks that it's a good idea to hang with people who think that black people are trash

I'm sorry that he has such a low opinion of himself.

That's pretty pathetic, don't you think?

[there but 4 fortune]

18. I don't believe that those people are racist. Their policies may look that way

but it doesn't mean they are.

[MrScorpio]

21. If it quacks like a duck… nt

[whoohoo]

24. then it will be shot by a hunter..

[MrScorpio]

28. Of course , you would say something like that… nt

[whoohoo]

29. oh I would, would I?

[MrScorpio]

31. Well, you just did, right?

Why is that a problem?

[whoohoo]

32. correct, but I dont like how you just assumed someone like me WOULD say that.

[MrScorpio]

34. So are you distancing yourself from your own words?

I think that it's pretty obvious to everyone here where you're coming from.

It's kind of funny that you're the ONLY one who can't see it.

[pinboy3niner]

35. Not the only one

You appear to have attracted a tag team. Congratulations!

[MrScorpio]

36. It can be really hard for some folks to see what's happening

That's really sad.

[HangOnKids]

38. Behave MrScorpio! LOL!

This thread is really amusing!

[MrScorpio]

42. Little does he know that I'm really being nice

I'm just a pussy cat these days

[Hugabear]

39. The GOP is inherently racist

Their policies are racist and homophobic.

Care to argue that they are not?

[HangOnKids]

40. Hey I Have A Bridge For Sale

You seem perfect for this deal!

[whoohoo]

19. who said black people were trash?

[MrScorpio]

26. Welcome to DU

http://www.care2.com/news/member/527046926/3096513

[Hugabear]

43. Well this one didn't last very long...

You trolls are going to have to try a little harder

[MrScorpio]

46. I think that it was his "crybaby" thread that did him in

As much as I'd love to get the credit for it in this thread, he just happened to go off on his own and commit self-immolation.

[pinboy3niner]

48. Yep

Thanks to maddezmom and the MIRT!

[hifiguy]

47. LOL!

They think they are being so clever when they are as obvious as a bear in a phone booth.

[pinboy3niner]

49. 'there but 4 fortune' spoke too soon in choosing that username

[TeeYiYi]

12. Was it...

...one of the Koch brothers from another mother? ...

TYY

[Cleita]

25. Sure he's not part of the minstrel show that the KKK is putting on for entertainment? n/t

[dembotoz]

33. how to become a big fish

lets say you want someone to listen to your gabberings

if all you want it to be listened to

if you are black--don't go to the dems
a face in the crowd

go to the repubs
you will stand out
people will listen to you because they want to say
"you know i met this most interesting negro at our convention last night"

he can token himself onto
perhaps some committees
he can token himself into a better spot at the dinner table

he can make connections
he can meet the right people

dumb????

like a fox
or perhaps he really believes it
in that case it is just sad

[ProgressiveEconomist]

37. Wonder how many business cards

he brought with him. 250?

[gulliver]

52. I think you get to punch someone in the arm.

[sarcasmo]

54. Asked to join the crowd for the where's waldo game.

[pinboy3niner]

60. LOL! ...

I was looking for the conspicuous negro--my own version of Where's Waldo--amongst the April 15th tea baggers (with a hope that I wouldn't find one). Alas, why must there always be one person of color willing to play poster child and pet for these Right Wing demagogues?

This lost soul was seen tea bagging outside the Bristol, County Courthouse in Bristol, Tennessee...Tennessee? one would think that being from the South he would know better.

Quick thought: doesn't he look like Apollo Creed from Rocky IV? Second thought: how many times will Fox News show this mascot as a way of insulating the April 15th "protesters" from the charge of being a group of right-wing, populist, racists?

...

[sarcasmo]

69. Wasn't living in America the song they played in that movie before the fight?

[JHB]

58. How many people were telling him to refill their drinks?

The CPAC crowd aren't really big on distinctions that way.

[Leopolds Ghost]

61. Where are you seeing this, on the news?

I had the opportunity to go down there but I missed out.

[Justice wanted]

64. Are you sure he is actually a member of CPAC and not the hired help or paid to stand there so

they can point to him and say SEE we aren't Racists.

[backscatter712]

65. Uncle Ruckus?

[ellisonz]

67. Was it Ron Christie?

[MrScorpio]

68. I don't think so

I could tell that his eyes weren't crossed

[ellisonz]

70. I bet he's there somewhere...

[MrScorpio]

71. LOL! That's Ron for ya! nt

[Zanzoobar]

72. You are not a racist.

Because a racist only sees color.

[MrScorpio]

73. Well, of course I'm not. Thanks for pointing that out

However, that guy did have the look of some chum in a tank of sharks.

But, between you and me… I'm sure that he's just another Black conservative.

And when it comes to greedy, delusional, self-hating assholes who wouldn't condemn a right wing bigot for their racism even if they were wearing a Klan robe, you just cannot beat Black conservatives at their own game.

So, I'm sure that the guy felt right at home with the CPAC crowd.

[Zanzoobar]

74. Lovingly yours, MrScorpio.

Eep.
