Armstrong Williams

[Proud liberal 80]

Why does it seem like black conservatives hate black people? And why is he in Urban Radio?

1. I was able to chew him out once.

Over the phone.

On the old National Empowerment Television, he was on a live show, and I took him, Reed Irvine and a couple others to task for their over-generalizations.

"The" liberals.

"The" liberal media.

Williams did agree with me.

2. He is now the "old school" annoying Republican

like Michael Steele and harmless, IMHO. Some of the ilk that came after him like Ron Christie and Paris Dennard are the lunatic bunch.

3. They have to hate blacks and hate all social programs....

.... as the evil demons of libtards. Laissez faire capitalism combined with trickle down economics is all the poor urban areas need to go from rags to riches. All social programs should be disbanded.

If these black conservative Republicans agree to this spiel then doors spring open for them to yap and yap on any media that welcomes them. Where they can often bank decent swag.The Rethug hope is if they can get enough conservative blacks on the media yapping things up the Rethugs will magically win over black voters giving them landslide wins for each and every election. Total power over the three branches of government into perpetuity.

4. Because in the US conservatism is very much about bigotry

So even when you have black and other minority and female conservatives even that is often about self hate.
