A Rebuttal to Candace Owens – supermodelsonya – Medium
I often hear conservatives both black and white shame black people who vote democratic as being slaves on a planation -- I personally find this insult to be itself very offensive and both idiotic, especially for a so-called black conservative to say it -- As this woman who wrote this article so brilliantly pointed out:
"To believe Black people need to rescue themselves from the “Democratic plantation” and vote Republican; is a silly myth that conservatives like to push. It’s insidious for a number of reasons. Me voting for a Democratic or Republican party is not akin to toiling on a plantation. It’s downright idiotic and disrespectful to those who actually did. They were beaten and raped on plantations. Me CHOOSING to vote for a political party is not the same thing. Every time this phrase comes out of their mouth, they should be condemned for this nonsense. I make a choice to vote Democratic. Slaves had no choice about being on a plantation. Stop dishonoring our ancestors."
Now some of you may not think shaming black people SPECIFICALLY by saying they are on a plantation is racially derogatory but then I would ask you this..
Jewish voters also vote overwhelmingly democratic -- but you never hear conservatives telling those voters that they are in Democrat gas chambers for doing so -- why?
