Cable news host fails the race test

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | October 9, 2017 | Ruben Navarrette Jr.

When it comes to race, conservatives will never ace the quiz.

It stands to reason that this bunch would be slow to understand a subject that they usually downplay, dismiss or deny. Those on the right — including many Republicans and most Trump voters — often pretend to be color-blind to seem enlightened. Ironically, the opposite is true.

[artichokegrower]

Sounds like old Ruben got a beat down by Tucker

[bagster]

...often pretend to be color-blind to seem enlightened.

"I had a dream that one day my little girls would be judged, not on the color of their skin but blah blah blah yada...."

[rstrahan]

Once again Ruben Navarette rolls out the race card. He was routinely doing this when a Dallas writer.

[Kozy]

Ruben is a Hugh racist.

[artichokegrower]

” those on the right are often a couple of slices short of a full loaf when it comes to racial matters.”

At least I earned my loaf and didn’t get through food stamps.

[ClearCase_guy]

I used to be pretty close to color-blind. It just wasn’t interesting to me. People were people.

But that was a few decades ago. Today? Oh, I’m not color-blind. And I wouldn’t pretend to be color-blind. I know what the deal is.

I don’t deal with blacks unless I absolutely have no choice.

[bagster]

I think Ruben judges conservatives by the color of their skin.

[bagster]

But that was a few decades ago.

I'm exactly the same, ClearCase guy. Life is an excxellent teacher, isn't it.

[I Drive Too Fast]

Maybe he could get a job at ESPN. He could do “Color” commentary.

[Grampa Dave]

When anyone on any side plays the racist card, they are defending a losing position.

[arthurus]

It is the left that has all the defining characteristics of racism. The left says that one's situation and prospects are determined by one's race. It is the left that puts boundaries between the races and other groups it has chosen to call races. Cultural appropriation? The whole concept of that is RACIST to the core. It is the left that adduces race issues in everything in existence. It is the left that meticulously keeps statistics on race participation and makeup in every human activity and institution. Racism has now come to be defined as simply White people. The whole Leftist racist cause is the extermination of Caucasians and Hebrews.

We should react by forming a White Peoples' Party open to membership by anyone who shares the Judaeo Christian values of Western Civilization and the American Founding.

[CatOwner]

He should come to Santa Clara County, particularly the NW portion of the county. Voted 73% for Hillary in 2016, and there are some of the most racist individuals I have ever encountered during my 40 years in the Bay Area. And I’m not talking about whites, blacks, or Hispanics.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Ruben has spent his entire life race baiting...truly a wasted life.

[Flick Lives]

A Leftist ass hat goes judgmental. How typical. Who died and made them the final arbiters anyway.

[pissant]

This douche-bag is still around?

[nopardons]

I was "color blind" for vast majority of my life.

NOW????

HELL NO; today everyone has to prove themselves to me, BEFORE I will accept them.

[Da Coyote]

Uh, mere journalists have not the education, the morals, or most important, the IQ to lecture any other than ...uh....no one else in the multiverse.

Hang it up mere newspaper writers. Get a real education, get a real job, then get a life.

Losers.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

I grew up color blind.

I have learned better now.

[Ms Mable]

I grew up color blind.

I have learned better now.
