Countering 'You Ain't Black' with the Facts

When comedienne Chelsea Handler noticed a pro-Trump tweet posted by her ex-flame 50 Cent, she became apoplectic and launched a bizarre social media crusade to change his mind. Dripping condescension, she asked if he knew what his race was and insulted his intelligence, saying if he's black he can't vote Trump. In an Instagram post, she addressed him "Hey f-----!," offering to pay his taxes if he changed his mind on Trump. And in an interview with Jimmy Fallon, she even dissolutely proffered renewed intimacy to 50 Cent: "I might be willing to go for another spin, if you know what I'm talking about."

Her inability to accept that a black might support Trump is of a piece with presidential candidate Joe Biden's comment to radio host Charlamagne tha God: "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black." Like many liberals in the public sphere, Handler insists that American blacks should assert race über alles, and their candidate choice should be monolithic and unidimensional — Democratic, that is — based solely on loyalty to the color of their skin.

The false equation "black = Democratic" has long been taken for granted by the Democrats, who conflate blacks' allegiance to their party with being true to their race. American blacks who dare to break free of this shackling assumption end up facing the ostracism of "cancel culture." It's an experience well known to black conservatives like Larry Elder, Candace Owens, Shelby Steele, and others.

Come on maaaannnnnnn! Maybe they'll simply ID as white for the day. Just sayin'. LOL! Or, maybe shell sea needs to adjust her last name to 'Canthandlit'. A dumbass by any other name..................

Do not confuse Chelsea Handler with anyone resembling a “comedienne”. Rosie O’Donnell is funnier, and she is barely a blip on the radar when it comes to witty repartee.
