I can’t think of ONE REASON why anyone would care what leftist blacks think about anything. They’ve defined themselves as haters of traditional Americans, haters of the American culture, and haters of conservative black Americans.

Creepy folks - Eff ‘em.

When I was 13yrs old in 1964 my family moved from
rural NorCal to Prince George’s Co, MD. My dad, a
high school ag teacher, had earned a fellowship to
work on a PhD at U of MD for a year. I recall that much
of the theme of Washington DC involved the Civil War
and the founding of the US.

Fast forward to 2004 when my younger brother and I
took our WWII combat Vet dad to visit the newly
opened WWII Memorial in DC. It was our first trip
back for my brother and I since childhood. We were
shocked to see that every museum, almost every
exhibit was related to race and ethnicity. The history
of the US, including westward expansion could only be
found in the new Native American museum. The line to get
into that museum was too long for a 79yr old Vet with
a cane so we didn’t go. At the Smithsonian my bro and
I individually asked the ladies at the counter why no
Civil War related displays could be found on the Mall.
The response was that we would need to travel to
individual battlefield sites. Incredible. The only
thing that would draw me back to that city would be
a massive protest by fellow conservatives. You name
the issue.

Googled for and found the Ebony list and there are a lot of truly worthy names included. Most, honestly, I’ve never heard of and after reading why a few were included, I guess I’m not surprised I’ve never heard of them.

That a member of the SCOTUS is not included and never has been... yeah... hard to work though that without hitting extreme political bias. If you read why Jarrett Hill is on the list, the cause becomes clear.

>> ... I’d likely just be a babbling idiot in his presence.

I did just that after a Thomas Sowell lecture in Denver some 32 years ago. Afterwards, I passed by him in the parking lot. Surprised and near speechless, I fawned over him. He looked at me as if I was an idiot, said nothing, and kept walking.

Just being sarcastic.

I was implying that these fine black conservatives don't act like they think black people should - they don't womanize, they don't wear flashy clothes, drive pimped-out vehicles, etc.

They don't talk right, they don't think right, they act too WHITE

During a recent episode, Bill Whittle defined ‘White Privilege’ as, “The Gift of not having some else to blame.”

“. . . they act too WHITE.”

When someone uses the term “Uncle Tom” as an epithet, it’s obvious to me that they are unfamiliar with the novel, and are probably ignorant in general.
