Hat tip Campus Reform
It is really ugly how the Democrats and the left are dismissing the elections of black Republicans like Mia Love (UT) and Tim Scott (SC). Here is what Asst. Professor Darren Smith of Wichita State University has to say about Ms Love.

“Unlike most of them, Mia gets to walk through the hallowed doorways of white institutions controlled by elite, powerful men"
Kinda like you, right Professor Smith?
This is pure racist garbage designed to keep blacks on the liberal, Democratic plantation and punish those who think for themselves. It is the same type of disgusting treatment handed out by people like Smith to Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Larry Elder, and so many others.
It also puts the lie to the mantra that American who op[pose President Obama are racists who could not bring themselves to vote for or accept a black man in the White House. Yet here we have voters in South Carolina overwhelmingly electing Scott and voters in, gasp, Mormon Utah electing Love.
You see, Professor Smith, it is not about the race; it is about the policies of the candidate. Conservative white voters are happy to vote for a conservative black candidate who reflects their beliefs. How else would you explain the popularity of Allen West with the Tea Party?
Yet, this is the type of trash that our students in college are being subjected to. Do parents who foot the tuition costs really want to pay for their kids to be indoctrinated by professors who get up on a soapbox and preach their own opinions-especially when they are so hateful and divisive as this?
Election of black conservatives will accomplish two things:
ReplyDeleteIt will push the tired old civil rights leadership off stage left, and, it will free white working class voters who were mesmerized by race into voting Republican to rejoin the New Deal coalition.
In the long run, there will be drift both ways, and that will make race increasingly irrelevant. This is bad news for professors who are what real leftists who could walk the streets of low income areas without fear used to call "poverty pimps." If your grants and your opportunities to publish depend on perpetuation of the oppression you love to write about, you hate to see it end.
I'm sure Mia Love will represent her district well. She wouldn't represent my district well, and I wouldn't vote for her, but she didn't run in Milwaukee. No doubt she'll have a few good ideas to contribute too, and I bet she WILL raise the IQ of the Republican congressional caucus a few points. She's no dummy.
