I Don't Talk To Whites or Conservatives

[Antares]

Jamilah Lemieux, Senior Editor, Digital, for Ebony Magazine, has little use for conservatives of any race, but in a Tuesday conversation with RNC Deputy Press Secretary Raffi Williams (who is African-American) she showed herself to be a racist, too.

In a Twitter conversation in which she thought Raffi was white, she didn't want to hear his opinion because he was white. She tweeted, "Oh great, here comes a White dude telling me how to do this Black thing"

Raffi Williams is black.

Jamilah qualifies as a "nigga".....a racist white hating pig.

Those scumbags are a dime a dozen. We should have picked the cotton ourselves.

She's black, it's ok for her to say this.

Just ask a lib

 

[Rozman]

Yup... white people suck....
Blacks just like white peoples tax dollars to fund all their entitlement programs.

 

[Yurt]

typical leftist racist bullshit

hopefully her and her ilk will soon fade in this country

 

[CaféAuLait]

She is a racist, plain and simple.


BUT here comes the excuses. If this had been a white person there would be hell to pay AND the issue has been downplayed and they are trying to blame Williams when he did not even tag her, some other person did:

Did she make a mistake with her Raffi Williams tweet? Yes, but she apologized and explained, as she should, that she wasn’t interested in hearing about Williams’ politics (not being interested in someone's politics is a personal prerogative), and didn’t look closely enough at his avatar picture to detect his race. She assumed he was white because he was touting what sounded like an oft-heard party line from white conservatives –- a hollow-sounding appeal for the inclusion of “a diversity of voices.”



That’s all. It’s not really bigger than that. And yet, here again, a black woman speaks her mind, especially on Twitter, and she’s demonized. Immediately. One of the most salient points Lemieux made on the panel I moderated, was that in regard to the “angry black woman” stereotype –- whether it’s true or mythical, we are angry, and that anger comes from a place of real pain. It comes from pain, and also exhaustion from doing so much of the emotional work for the feminist movement.

A top editor at Ebony magazine was forced to apologize after insulting RNC Deputy Press Secretary Raffi Williams and the conservatism of the black men behind The Washington Times’ new digital magazine, American CurrentSee.

She followed up later, saying: “I don’t care what race you are. I don’t know why you GOP folks troll on here.”

Ebony apologizes for calling RNC's Raffi Williams 'white,' dismissing black conservatives - Washington Times

It appears that she's got a disdain for Conservatives in general, regardless of race. She was forced to apologize, even after she knew Mr. Williams was black. I'm surprised that editor-in-chief, Amy Barnett didn't fire Ms. Lemieux to show everyone that the magazine distances itself from folks like Ms. Lemieux.

Because only her own tiny racist universe is all that matters. This is why black culture is so fucking dried up and built on failure.

 

[Mr. H.]

I was once accused of being a lawyer. I don't know which is worse.

Oh great, here comes a White dude telling me how to do this Black thing. Pass.

That was freaking great.

You've got to admit. White people seem to love trying to tell Black people what they should do about Black affairs.

But he was black... And he did not tag her in any post, a friend or associate did and she jumped to conclusions- based on the party and a photo. She assumed that someone was white and telling her what to do. Aren't those assumptions of how one is, looks, or behaves a big part of racism?

She was wrong about jumping to conclusions period. It was still funny though.

You wouldn't understand if you have to ask.

Like Whites telling you all to take care of your children?

I thought that's why they call everyone uncle- you know- because they don't know who their daddy is.

IDK, could be wrong

No that would just be funny and ironic.

 

[Mad_Cabbie]

Two things -

1 Whoever said that was an idiot.

2 They don't speak for all black people.

3 Racism sucks

Three things! Sorry.

O, you mean like when Whites tell you all to stop fucking like monkeys because you have extremely high rates of STD's?
