Newt Gingrich Knows Whats Good For The Blacks, And Its Not Icky Black President Obama

What was that whole thing a few days back just after the Dallas shootings, when Newt Gingrich was all, Hey white people, you actually dont understand what its like to be black in America and stuff? His actual quote was very nice, and we all wondered if maybe Newtie was having a stroke:
It took me a long time, and a number of people talking to me through the years to get a sense of this. If you are a normal white American, the truth is you dont understand being black in America and you instinctively under-estimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk.
OK, he called white Americans the normal ones, but it seemed like he was trying. And he said even more good stuff, too! Is Newt Gingrich really evolving on issues of race, willing to be a Republican voice in the wilderness to challenge racist assumptions made by members of his own party? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha YOU FOOL. Because here is what he said on Morning Joe today:
At the risk of once again being divisive
(NOT NEWT GINGRICH.)) I think as long as we have Barack Obama doing what he did over the last few years - you had seven-and-a-half years of a black president, seven-and-a-half years of a black attorney general. Gallup reports today race relations today than any time in the last 17 years. Why? Because how often has he hit the police? He hit the police in Cambridge and he was wrong. He hit the police in Ferguson. He was wrong. He hit the police in Florida. He was wrong. At what point does the president have some obligation to say - there are two parts to this - one, weve got to better understand the experience of being black in America and in places like Chicago where 3,200 people have been killed in the Obama presidency. We better have a strategy that works. We dont.
Thanks, Newt. Its Obamas fault, you know, the way he stands up on top of the White House every night with a jambox blaring NWAs Fuck Tha Police, and how can we expect racial reconciliation to happen when the president does that? And when the black attorney general wont tell her fellow blacks to settle down and be sweet? Thats just rude, Loretta!
Look, some Republicans really have been speaking up since Dallas. Black Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina spoke his truth on the Senate floor, about how yeah, you white conservatives, it really IS different for black folks growing up in America, especially black men. We heaped one metric fuckton of praise on the white boy cracker writers from The Daily Caller and RedState who spoke up forcefully for white folks to actually acknowledge that there is a problem in America with how minorities, especially black folks, are treated by cops.

Dude has been a pseudo-intellectual racist his whole damn career. I don't want his alliance.
