In reply to the discussion: **********AFRICAN-AMERICAN GROUP: Please read the SOP before posting******* feedback about Netroots [View all]1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)22. Extra-special in a Clarence Thomas/herman Cain kind of way ...
and before the sirens sound and outrage meters peg, let me explain and provide a check ...
It is clear that that Thomas/Cain's value to the conservative movement is their race, then, their ideology ... so with our extra special friends, they are welcomed because of their race, then their ideology.
How could I say such a horrible thing? Simple ... But for their racial status all of them would be unimportant in their support. Cain and Thomas would be just two more conservatives, completely lost, and utterly un-noteworthy, in the conservative noise ... so, too, with a friends here
And before the protestation get louder, our friends recognize it ... that's why there are all the "I am a PoC and I approve that message" posts.

I was for Sanders last year. I was giddy when he entered the race. I wanted to support him.
