Whatever you do Hoke, please don’t eat her can of salmon.

LaShawn Barber hits the high points on a subject near and dear to yours truly.

Five years ago, when I first started calling myself a conservative, I wrote an op-ed about the lack of outrage among blacks over a white Maryland state senator calling then Lt. Governor Michael Steele an Uncle Tom during some redistricting controversy. In subsequent years, I noticed that no high profile black political bigmouth or journalist came to the defense of people like Condoleezza Rice when white liberals made offensive race-based comments to or about them.

That’s white Democrats’ privilege. As honorary blacks, they can shuck and jive with the best of them.

As it’s been related to me through my imaginary liberal friends, blackface is the height of social satire. So calling black conservatives “Uncle Toms” is simply a less-lethal comedic weapon in an already colorful arsenal deployed to verbally lynch blacks for wandering too far from “home”.

And imitation is the sincerest form of flattery:

That’s why in 2007, post-slavery, post-legal segregation, you’ve got a white idiot adopting an insulting dialect and promising supposedly educated black people more government programs if she’s elected president.
[...]
I honestly don’t know how I’d react if a white person adopted that “black dialect” shucking and jiving or social program pontificating in my presence.

It’s too bad that Youtube debate didn’t allow viewers to select their favorite clips. And if I may offer the Hildebeast a little advice in a dialect that she has at least a passing familiarity:

Yo Hillary,

Please check yourself. In and around the time before you wreck yourself.

Pigmentationally yours,

Smantix
