Anytime a black ‘makes it’ you get this type of comment, IMO, usually from blacks themselves. They called Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom, Condi Rice something else, I can’t remember.
Because when black people make it on their own merits, it takes away all excuses. Easier to blame everyone else for your personal failures.

It’s the truth. I had a very nasty AA co-worker who informed ME that Herman Cain was a “turncoat.” She herself was a TOTAL loser who at 50+ years old, STILL was working in low-wage menial job at the hospital. She kept trying to get to school, to get a higher degree — but for some reason, she couldn’t cut it. I just always felt she tended to yack, chuck and jive a lot and never had the drive to just get down to business and apply herself to anything serious. Too busy joking.
Nothing really white or black about THAT — plenty of whites are like that — have a few of them in my own family ..but blacks can conveniently use the race card which provides them cover.
