Kentucky attorney general candidate Daniel Cameron is a personable and intelligent man who has come a long way in 33 years of life.
...
In a recent interview with the Courier Journal, Dawn Elliott, a Louisville political talk radio host and attorney who is also black, slammed Cameron for his support for President Donald Trump and told Cameron to “stop eating the ‘Coon Flakes’ the White House is serving.”
This is disgusting, racist language to use against a good man who happens to be a black Republican. It’s really sad that in today’s world, if black men or women are Republicans, many blacks and liberals jump on them to suggest they are “Uncle Toms.”
That’s a real shame, because we live in a country where people of all colors have the right to join a political party that most aligns with their beliefs and values. Cameron chose to be a Republican because the party aligned with his beliefs and values, plain and simple.
Cameron came back swinging at Elliott and we are proud of how he shut this race-baiting liberal down.
...
For generations, Democrats have taken the black vote for granted, expecting it and not helping them much in return. It’s worth noting that the GOP has nominated three non-white candidates for statewide office, while Democrats have nominated none.
It’s quite obvious Elliott has no shame about her racist comment and the fact that she isn’t backing down from this despicable comment shows her true colors. The use of this racist language has no place in our society.
And why isn’t Cameron’s Democratic opponent, Greg Stumbo, speaking out against Elliott’s use of this racist language? Does he condone this type of divisive language? His silence might suggest that.

This “Uncle Tom” nonsense was put to bed forty years ago. Does the anti-American crowd really think people will fall for it now?
Liberals are allowed to be as racist as they want because the media doesn’t report it. Alternatively, conservatives are reported as racist all the time where no racism even exits.
I always thought the “Uncle Tom” taunt was stupid. Especially as the book was written as an anti-slavery story. Likely most who use the phrase are ignorant of its origin.
...beyond the PALE.
THIS is an editorial board op-ed at a paper in 2019?! A man in Kentucky sure is luckily to live down in Bowling Green!
Luckily = lucky before being mangled by autocorrect.
They have their own definition of racism.
Deconstructionism is a form of literary criticism that (to put it simplistically) examines the relationship between the words you read and their actual meaning. Their meaning is to a large degree relative and open to interpretation and sunjective visualization by each person who reads them based on the readers experiences.
But the left has taken this concept into all realms of thought - including politics. Personally I think they just like the word Deconstructionism because they think it relates to destroying the old order. But ultimately what they have done is destroy language and all meaning entirely. It is now all subjective and relative. Only in such a way could you justify being outraged over the “racist” language in an ambiguous tweet while defending the corruption that has a real racist effect on the living breathing people of Baltimore, for example.
Uncle Tom wasn’t the sellout...Quimbo and Sambo were.
