Have you heard from any black conservatives regarding the Trayvon Martin verdict?

The only one I have heard from is Amy Holmes. She thinks Zimmerman should be in jail right now.

I visit Allen West's Facebook page for entertainment and he hasn't even mentioned it.

My guess is that this issue is going to diminish the 6% of the black vote Republicans tend to get in elections.

The baggers I talk to relish the Toms more than anything. Plenty of vids going around on Facebook. I, of course, will not post them here.

After he heard Zimmerman's lawyer say had Z been black he would not have been arrested.

Steele: Is he high?

than try to justify the BS. but unlike in other cases where they right always has some black person to bring out to justify this bs. there aren't many black conservatives who are defending it.

There are Toms and delusional black folks, but they are simply in need of mental health care.
