"Ward Connerly, a part-black UC regent"
A PART-BLACK UC regent?
I think that is the first time I have ever read that term in reference to a black person.
Do they refer to Halle Berry as being the first part-black winner of the female best actress Oscar?
They must be trying to de-legitimize old Ward for his un-PC views.
People are forever telling me that they're "part Cherokee," and my response is always, "Oh? Which part?" So it would be interesting to know which part of Ward is black and which part is white.
Bingo. . .Ward's 'blackness' does not serve their agenda and so they find a dismissive term and one for which they cannot be held critically accountable for using.
Liberalism is a beautiful thing; for those that have eyes. . .and cannot see.
They were referring to his ideology rather than his race, you see. Since he doesn't agree with black "leaders", he can only be "part-black".
