Why isn't it racism when the media and other Democrats seek to destroy conservatives who happen to be people of color?

Every day, the media and other Democrats seek to brand Republicans as racists if they dare disagree with Democrats' radical leftist ideology and policies.

Democrats who engage in lawless acts and who happen to be people of color, are treated as heros. That includes two legislators who participated in a riot, protest or insurrection in Tennessee with the aim of disrupting legislative hearings and then got themselves expelled from that body as a result. They were invited to the White House and they were feted. That stands in stark contrast to the failure of Joe Biden to visit the Christian families of Nashville who were just killed recently by a transgender mass shooter. But Biden being Biden, he invited the two disruptive legislators to D.C. for the purpose of playing the race card. He certainly didn't want to take questions on Afghanistan.

In contrast, for decades Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been under attack from the left for the sole reason that he is a black conservative. When Thomas was nominated to the Supreme Court, the media and other Democrats sought to destroy him for an unconfirmed story about some kind of sex harassment against Anita Hill, which Thomas vehemently denied. It was no different from their comparable effort to destroy Judge Brett Kavanaugh with an unverified story about things he supposedly did when he was young during his Supreme Court hearings.

Now they are out to destroy Thomas because he took trips with a billionaire friend without disclosing them, which based on a loophole in U.S. law, he wasn't required to report anyway. Rather than close the loophole, which they have the power to do as legislators, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants Thomas to be impeached for this.

There is absolutely no indication that Justice Thomas has ever done political favors for the billionaire in exchange for the trips, so why is this treated as a big scandal?

Following furor over GOP-donor luxury trips, Joe Biden reckons with another Clarence Thomas scandal

Anita Hill’s riveting testimony alleging sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas was still fresh on Joe Biden’s mind when he gaveled the Senate Judiciary Committee back to order.

“Tough day – tough night for you,” Biden told the Supreme Court nominee. “Do you have anything you’d like to say?”

Over the next few minutes on that evening of Oct. 11, 1991, Thomas would denounce Hill’s allegations as “sleaze,” “gossip” and “lies” and characterize the committee’s confirmation hearing helmed by Biden as “a circus” and “a national disgrace.”

“As far as I’m concerned,” Thomas concluded of the televised hearing, “it’s a high-tech lynching for uppity Blacks.”

I don't recall USAToday calling it a scandal that Biden frequently stays at a private equity billionaire's mansion. I bet he doesn't disclose the huge value of these stays on his disclosure forms. How much would it cost for a family to stay there?  It certainly exceeds the annual gift tax exclusion.

It doesn't matter to the left is something is true or not - they just want to create doubt and use it to hurt their opponents......they are under the direction of the father of lies.

Because Conservatives of Color are “Uncle Toms” and are considered to have forfeited their minority status.

“Why isn’t it racism when the media and other Democrats seek to destroy conservatives who happen to be people of color?”

Probably because they consider it in the same manner that George Washington did when he hanged Major Andre. Traitors or spies to the cause.

Maybe the Republicans should bring bull horns and a crowd of protesters to the Senate chamber.

It’s not a matter of guilt it’s a matter of how well the propaganda guilt trainers do the media mastered their skills 200 years ago.

Trump is an example of their work

“...the media and other Democrats seek to destroy conservatives who happen to be people of color...”

We have no media. We have unscrupulous hacks who parrot Liberal doctrine, who manipulate mass hysteria and have taken populist, political dogma to grotesque heights.

By now it's indistinguishable from censorship and laughably crude propaganda!

Because it’s really not about race after all.

It’s about politics and insurrection.

“Black” is a state of mind to the demons. Biden laid it out clear as day. If you don’t support Biden (democrats) you ain’t black.
