I recall seeing West and Smiley on FNC the other week talking about this get together and if memory serves I believe they did mention that a number of black conservatives/Republicans had been invited.

You force me to play the dictionary card.

Here is some mention of this, though I know that he named off more names than this:

Hm...so you are saying that Jesse, Maxine, Conyers, Sheila, Louis, Dingell, Sharpton, Smiley are...bigots????

[ClaireSolt]

Same old paradigm, if you ask me.

... distinguished Black thinkers, religious leaders, labor leaders elected officials—including Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, civil rights leader Joseph Lowery, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Rev. Al Sharpton and Dr. Michael Eric Dyson ...

"Distinguished?" This is a joke, isn't it?

I'd better keep my thoughts to myself before I get a 'timeout'.

Longtime FReepers have been banned for much less than what I'm thinking.

Note the usual line-up of leftist suspects. Not an original thought of concepts of free market capitalism, academic excellence, personal accountability, entrepeneurship, participation in both major political parties, restoration of the 2 parent family, or an acknowledgement that the welfare state of liberalism is responsible for most of the black community's contemporary problems. Just more racial grievance wrapped up in veiled demands for racial entitlement spending and warped racial chauvinism. Sad, disgusting and dangerous.
