Gee, the Hollywood A-(hole) List gets longer and longer and longer. Last Saturday, after The Herminator trounced in the Florida straw poll, pundit George Will said it would make liberals' heads explode. And indeed it has.
First, actor Morgan Freeman -- who, after playing roles like "Crazy" Joe Clark in the movie Lean On Me and other movies that send a wholly Republican message -- bashed the Tea Party as a bunch of racists.
At least the DBF media reported that comment. But there was apparently a Tweet by black actor D.L. Hughley that has stayed under the media radar for an entire week already.
Crystal Wright, who blogs at ConservativeBlackChick.com, writes at the Daily Caller:
Black comedian D.L. Hughley is at it again, making racist and incendiary comments about Republicans. Apparently, Herman Cains victory in the GOP Florida straw poll was too much for the liberal-minded Hughley to bear. On September 27, Hughley launched into a stream of demeaning, racially charged tweets about Cain on his Twitter account @RealDLHughley, which his loyal followers responded to in kind. You may remember Hughleys fleeting CNN talk show was cancelled in 2009 because he said during an interview with former RNC Chairman Michael Steele the Republican National Convention literally looks like Nazi Germany.
Literally, Mr. Hughley? They were actually wearing Nazi uniforms and swastika armbands? They were literally marching in goose step and burning books and rounding up Jews and throwing them into cattle cars, Mr. Hughley?
No, of course not. The only thing that made the RNC Convention "literally look like Nazi Germany" as that the attendees were predominantly (but not all) white. For some reason this has become a sin to the mentally deranged left. So, to Dem-wits like Hughley, being white = being a Nazi. He's judging a group of people purely by their skin color. Don't know about you, but that sounds pretty freaking racist to me!
Wright goes on:
Hughleys tirade against Cain may have gone unnoticed were it not for @blackrepublican tweeting about Hughleys incendiary commentary. Herman Cain won the Florida straw poll by a lot! I loved Herman Cain when he played Mr. Gaines on a different World, Hughley tweeted. This prompted other tweets by Hughley and his followers that implied Cain was an Uncle Tom and not REALLY black because he is a conservative who doesnt choose to believe in Democrat plantation policies that keep blacks economically oppressed.
Apparently, Hughley was too absorbed in his racist Twitter banter to notice a recent Rasmussen poll that found Cain trailing Obama by just 5% in a hypothetical match-up.
Several tweets later, Hughley wrote:
Here are some other tweets from this genius:
This enticed others to compare Cain to the original Cream of Wheat, Stepin Fetchit and the butler in Gone with the Wind all of which conjure up demeaning, racist caricatures used during the pre- and post-Civil War era to describe the dutiful slave.
Its shocking that, in the 21st century, blacks would so viciously attack a black man because he didnt agree with their politics. Martin Luther King Jr. would be horrified because this isnt the freedom he fought and died for.
Even more surprising is the fact that Hughley hasnt removed or denounced any of the tweets, particularly the one which makes an offensive reference to Sarah Palin.
Most shocking of all, the liberal media has completely ignored the story. If the shoes were reversed and a white conservative comedian or radio host like Rush Limbaugh authored and incited such offensive commentary about Barack Obama or a black Democrat, the left-wing news media and politicians would be outraged. Theyd demand apologies, firings and boycotts. But when a black comedian says racist things about a black Republican, he gets a free pass.
Indeed. In fact, in order to brand Rush and other conservatives as racist, the left has needed to make up racist quotes out of whole cloth and propagate them as fact. That's how morally corrupt the Democrat left has become.
And now, as we are seeing, being black does not protect Herman Cain from racist and offensive comments. Just ask Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
While the liberal establishment is busy protecting the double standard, their policies are doing nothing to create jobs for the 16.7% of blacks and 45.6% of black teens who are unemployed. Instead of mocking black conservatives, maybe its time for black liberals to turn their attention to some new ideas. After all, the Democrat hand of government isnt helping blacks rise up. Its only keeping them enslaved and dependent on a promise that is never realized.
Amen, sister.
I hope Herman Cain gets the GOP nomination. And I hope more black Americans wake up and realize the shackles their Democrat massas have kept them locked up in all these years.
Hughley makes the white boys down at the DNC plantation very proud. He’s doing their dirty work for them and making them rich by keeping them in Washington.
I don’t think I ever heard of this D.L. Hughley until today but if he wants to keep supporting the pro-slavery political party, he’s certainly entitled to do so. I just wish young folks wouldn’t make their decisions on whom they vote for because somebody in Hollywood tweeted their political opinion.
Just wow.If it’s this nasty now,how’s the dialog gonna sound 6 months down the road.
Yep!!! Herman Cain for the top slot, POTUS & Marco Rubio at the number two VP slot!!! Best team ever, for White folks, for Black folks, for Hispanic folks, for all other minority folks, for “ALL” from A-Z, Americans, and......most of all, best for our great nation, America!!! Cain/Rubio-2012!!!!
It will be news when a black liberal doesn’t compare a black conservative to Aunt Jemima or Uncle Tom.
What is it that makes someone really black? Is it the inability to speak your own native language? The criminal record? The lack of a work history? Do you need to qualify in these areas if you want to "keep it real"?
Herman Cain is a good person, a good businessman, a good campaigner. For me, he qualifies in every way that matters. How black he really is does not matter to me at all. Does that make me a racist?
I guess Cain is not a Democrat so he is to be an outcast by the usual hate-filled, mean-spirited, violently racist liberals.
Mr. Hughley was the one calling whites “crackers” on his CNN show. I wrote CNN and complained.
Here's the dirty little secret and the reason blacks will NEVER come off the liberal plantation: They LIKE being on it. They don't believe they're in shackles. Just keep that money rolling in. Keep the food stamps rolling in. The section 8 housing allowance, the SSI payments for their "disabled" children and the Aid to Dependent Families.
Over 17% unemployment among blacks? So what? They're probably still getting their extended unemployment anyway. The plantation is a way of life, and it's generational. Probably to those on the plantation, it would be terrifying to have leave it. People like Cain are a threat to the lifestyle they've become accustomed to.
‘Herman Cain took Aunt Jemima to the prom’...What a dope.
Must have fleeted before I noticed it had fled.
@FdrmLvr - I’d really hate to believe that.
Because he goes by the two of the most hated names, conservative and teaparty.
How else do you explain blacks voting nearly 100% for Democrats. People are shocked - admittedly - when a black votes Republican. Isn’t the common wisdom that the Democrats “do” for the people? What is “doing” if not providing welfare? What Democrats do is spend more and more on “social safety net programs” for their constituents.
Cain has hit the bigtime, we now have libs with fullblown ...
Cain Derangement Syndrome!
“Mr. Hughley was the one calling whites crackers on his CNN show. I wrote CNN and complained.”
he also uses the N-word on twitter. he has NO right to name-call on anybody. He’s a hateful ranter. Must be why CNN puts him on, trying to be as ‘hip as the sewer rats at MSNBC.
