Satire: Elected Black Republicans Called "Traitors to Their Race"

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) neglected to include Rep. Mia Love (R-Utah) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) n its post-election congratulations to African-Americans who won their races.

Cornell William Brooks, President and CEO of the NAACP, characterized the election of the Black conservatives as "more of a setback than an advancement for people of color. These two have bought the right wing propaganda that individual achievement, hard work, and honesty are the way a person gets ahead in this world. Unfortunately, every individually successful Black person dilutes our case for slavery reparations."

Brooks predicted that Love and Scott "will join their white oppressors in voting against increases in welfare benefits, against racial set-asides, against reparations, and for the kind of strict law enforcement that has disproportionately sent so many of our brothers to prison. They are traitors to their race."

Rep. Love, who grew up in humble circumstances, cited her father's advice "to never take a hand-out and never be a burden to society as my guiding light in social, economic, and political philosophy." This is a view that Brooks contends "puts her diametrically at odds with the vast majority of African Americans."

Sen. Scott, meanwhile was given an "F" by the NAACP for vowing to "free Black Americans from the trap of dependency that the Democratic Party has lured so many into. The only secure path to a successful life is through personal effort. I will be working toward removing the barriers to this effort erected by Democrats."

I love your articles. I don’t know what weird mod would object to your satire, or what weird member would complain. Your writings are sublime.

LOL John, makes me wonder which part of your article is satire.

"Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is doubling down on his belief that southern Republicans still believe in slavery and think the Confederates won the Civil War, implying that the Democrats’ major senatorial losses came as a result of racism.

I’m just saying that it’s unfortunate America doesn’t deal with the problem of racism,” Rangel continued. “Until we acknowledge that it exists and fight hard to eradicate it, then we still have to be frustrated by people. They all come from the south and they all have these feelings about superiority and that’s true whether you’re picking cotton or you’re president of the United States.”

Another good one, John. Even if they don’t say it out loud, that’s what liberals are thinking.
