No surprise at all here.
Translations, you have no examples, except some obscure right wing rag, that nobody reads. No surprises indeed.

Try again. Like I said, I don't comment on stories I don't hear about. Show me examples of threads on here of people making racist statements towards black conservatives.

Here? Why "here"? The story in the OP wasn't about anyone "here". Why is the requirement that I find an example from.......here?

A horses ass is a better representation of Barack Obama. I'll throw Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson in there as well. Doesn't make me a racist. It makes them horse asses. Because that's what they are. All of them.

But here's a recent, and most egregious, example:

Black History Month is Herman Cain Playing the Race Minstrel for CPAC « SpeakEasy (http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2011/02/12/black-history-month-is-herman-cain-playing-the-race-minstrel-for-cpac/ - broken link)
That's all you got? The author of the piece is a Black guy. I know conservatives hate this, but Black people can say certain words and get away with it, like the n word, and not be called racist. Yeah, it sucks I know, some people are dying to use that word, but those are the breaks.

Try again.

I believe it's called 'moving the goalpost.'

I knew. I knew it. No matter what example of racism from "liberals" is brought to light, it will be rejected in the name of an ever shrinking criteria. In this case its the intellectual fascism that demand those of one's own race "tow the line" and not dare think outside acceptable boundaries. A most insidious form of racism, right up there with liberalism's low-expectations for minorities in academia and career. But you probably don't see that. Paradoxically, the "complex brain" of liberals we hear about only consider it "racism" if its an offensive post card.

But there's another kind of unpleasantness we don't hear enough about: liberal racism.
When Milwaukee radio talk show host James T. Harris, a black conservative, stood up at a town hall meeting and pleaded with John McCain to step up his attacks against Obama, Harris was inundated with hate mail and death threats and called a "Sambo," "Uncle Tom," and a "sellout." Harris said he believes many of the e-mails came from whites.
It takes nerve for someone who isn't black to accuse a black person of not being black enough.

Your example of racism is a black guy calling some Black conservative a minstrel show.



I'm not an expert, but I'm wiling to bet that the majority of black people would be more offended by a White guy calling a Black guy the n word, then a Black columnist referring to a Black conservative as a minstrel show.

Not surprised that you are okay with intellectual fascism. A decent person would be offended that someone is demanding that an individual of his own race think in a proscribed way. People should be free to form their own opinions on issues, and not be slurred racially because of it. Its wrong even when the one slurring is of the same race.
