Anyone up for some good, old-fashioned racism? Ebony senior digital editor Jamilah Lemieux sure is! This morning, she went after RNC deputy press secretary Raffi Williams (Juan Williams’ son):
Merry Christmas… My dad & BO tried to convert me but that wasnt happening http://t.co/u02QzcUfoH—
Raffi Williams (@Raffiwilliams) December 20, 2013
His offense? Daring to challenge her narrow-mindedness about black conservatives:
A classic case of ignorant demonization rather than engagement between my friend @Raffiwilliams & an Ebony editor newsninja2012.com/ebony-magazine…—
Ed Morrissey (@EdMorrissey) March 27, 2014
News Ninja’s Wayne Dupree captured the exchange. Those tweets are included below, along with some others that showcase Lemieux’s charm:
(Yes, Ben Carson is launching a Black conservative magazine with Armstrong Williams. I have drinking games in mind already.)—

@SistahScholar @JamilahLemieux want to know more re carson/williams plan to launch magazine @orlandowatson @Raffiwilliams @hugheynewsome—
politi-chick@bet.com (@BETpolitichick) March 27, 2014
@BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson @Raffiwilliams @hugheynewsome I 100% do not want to know more, I wish I knew less!—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
Ignorance is bliss, after all.
@JamilahLemieux wish you knew less? hoped you would encourage diversity of thought. @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson—
Raffi Williams (@Raffiwilliams) March 27, 2014
Williams made a fair point. And Lemieux didn’t like that:
@Raffiwilliams @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson Oh great, here comes a White dude telling me how to do this Black thing. Pass.—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
@JamilahLemieux who are you refering to as white… Armstrong and Carson are black @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson—
Raffi Williams (@Raffiwilliams) March 27, 2014
@Raffiwilliams @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson YOU. Now, leave, I have no interest in this conversation.—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
Typical leftist. Why engage when you can lash out?
@Raffiwilliams @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson I don't care what race you are. I dont know why you GOP folks troll on here.—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
@JamilahLemieux You are questioning someones blackness.sorry I do not fit your stereotypes @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson—
Raffi Williams (@Raffiwilliams) March 27, 2014
@Raffiwilliams I was looking at your avi without blowing it up. I apologize for that. However, I care about NOTHING you have to say.—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
Sounds like a great gal, no?
@Raffiwilliams I don't know why @BETpolitichick tweeted you and me at once, but I don't want to debate either/any of you. Good day.—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
Oh, and did she mention that conservatives are stupid?
I forgot that tweeting something about a Conservative is like leaving a cookie out in a house full of roaches and turning off the lights.—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
And how terrible their reading comprehension is #onhere.—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
And that they jumping in the mentions of someone with an opposing view with a bunch of jingoism and trite rhetoric is revolution.—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
How original.
Seeing a bitter lib punch up at conservatives is nothing new, but the idea of portraying minority conservatives as race traitors never ceases to amaze.
Hi @JamilahLemieux. I know you didn't mean to embarrass yourself – this happens on the Internet – but you owe @Raffiwilliams an apology.—
Ellen Carmichael (@ellencarmichael) March 27, 2014
.@JamilahLemieux This isn't hard. You need to apologize. Imagine if someone had said to you, "Another black chick explaining to me." WRONG.—
Kathleen McKinley (@KatMcKinley) March 27, 2014
According to Lemieux, she did apologize:
For the Conservative trolls in my mentions, I thought @Raffiwilliams was White because I didn't blow up his avi. And I apologized. Go away.—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
That wasn’t an apology, honey.
.@JamilahLemieux Apologized for not looking at @Raffiwilliams picture, not for treating him like less than human. Some "apology". #Typical—
(@LoneWolf907) March 27, 2014
Also not an apology? Insulting the people who rightly called you out for playing the race card:
@_DJ_Jordan you misread. Where is my apology?—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
Your lack of reading comprehension is embarrassing. But it happens. Now, apologize to me @ellencarmichael—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
@charlescwcooke so…none of you can read or even try to understand what happened? How embarrassing—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
.@ellencarmichael I didn't say anything unkind. I'm not your mammy, I owe you nothing. Exit.—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
Before I let a group of White, Black or Green Conservatives tell me I'm racist, I will go tap dance in Times Square with a watermelon.—
Jamilah Lemieux (@JamilahLemieux) March 27, 2014
Needless to say, she’s got issues.
I hear you like to judge people by the color of their skin. @JamilahLemieux—
Jerome Hudson (@JeromeEHudson) March 27, 2014
I know it's hard to tell from my avi without blowing it up…but I'm white. @JamilahLemieux—
Erin (@sqwerin) March 27, 2014
"Sorry…thought you were white." MT "@JamilahLemieux: I thought he was White because I didn't blow up his avi. And I apologized. Go away."—
(@365conservative) March 27, 2014
"Go away?" I think you're confused about how this twitter thing works. Also, you're a racist. @JamilahLemieux @Raffiwilliams—
Ben Howe (@BenHowe) March 27, 2014
@JamilahLemieux You seem to believe that what you said would have been acceptable if Williams had actually been white. It wouldn’t.—
Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) March 27, 2014
@SerahOke I don't dislike @JamilahLemieux.. I do dislike her immediate judgement and dismissal of someone because she thought they're white.—
schlute (@coolhandschlute) March 27, 2014
Sorry @JamilahLemieux.. it's not about mistaking @Raffiwilliams as white. It's about your selective treatment of him b/c you thought he was.—
schlute (@coolhandschlute) March 27, 2014
@redsteeze @JamilahLemieux I want to live in a nation where I will not be judged by the content of my character, but by the pic in my avi.—
Paul (@sheepdog5931) March 27, 2014
.@JamilahLemieux You treated @Raffiwilliams a certain way because you thought he was white? I'm thinking of a term. That term is "racist."—
RB (@RBPundit) March 27, 2014
Yep.
#SMH @JamilahLemieux is harming the Ebony brand. Questioning "blackness" is something @EBONYMag has fought for yrs! http://t.co/yhBOeIXGhl—
D.J. Jordan (@_DJ_Jordan) March 27, 2014
.@RaffiWilliams is one of the best people I know – inside and outside of politics – and a true friend. Ebony Magazine should apologize NOW.—

Update:
Any black man who votes Democrat is a traitor to his race and has the blood of his ancestors on his hands.
How about that. So while Juan motors his mouth as the resident Obama Defender, Junior is deeply involved with the Republican Party! In photos they seem close, that’s good. A strong family will help Razzi to tolerate the BS from professional racebaiters and schlockmeisters. The son looks nothing at all like his dad. Sometimes it’s just that way.
What will be the breaking point for Juan?
Kicked off NPR, and now he has an angry white dude for a son. The left is tearing him up, but it seems like he has battered wife syndrome.
Juan will always stay on the lib reservation..he knows that liberals are the most racist people on the planet, but his political views will keep him sticking up for libs no matter what, even when they trash his own son
Juan Williams is a likable guy. However, he is almost 100% wrong about everything, which leads me to believe he could not just be that wrong by chance. He knows who butters his bread and he is milking it.
Felt badly the way he was treated at NPR (have not listened to it in years because of NPR’s politics). However, seems like he raised a fine, independent thinking strong son.
That may make sense to twits that twitter, but the formatting is horrible and you need a scorecard to tell the players.
TypicL lefty. Get everything wrong, fail completely, then act indignant when called on it.
Me too also. I find that stuff to be in-comprehensive and really unreadable.
