The new civility.
Jamilah Lemieux, editor of a black publication that nobody reads, started a rant on Twitter over black Republicans.
That’s when things got real interesting:
(Yes, Ben Carson is launching a Black conservative magazine
with Armstrong Williams. I have drinking games in mind already.)
@SistahScholar @JamilahLemieux want to know more
re carson/williams plan to launch magazine
@BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson @Raffiwilliams @hugheynewsome
I 100% do not want to know more, I wish I knew less!
@JamilahLemieux wish you knew less?
hoped you would encourage diversity of thought.
@Raffiwilliams @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson
Oh great, here comes a White dude
telling me how to do this Black thing. Pass.
One problem; Raffi Williams is black, and he’s the son of Fox News contributor Juan Williams.
@JamilahLemieux who are you refering to as white…
Armstrong and Carson are black
@Raffiwilliams @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson
YOU. Now, leave, I have no interest in this conversation.
Uh oh……
@JamilahLemieux You are questioning someones blackness.
sorry I do not fit your stereotypes
@Raffiwilliams I was looking at your avi without blowing it up.
I apologize for that. However, I care about NOTHING you have to say.
It’s Raffi’s fault for not making his skin color an issue.
By the time Lemieux realizes she fucked up, she switches gears:
I forgot that tweeting something about a Conservative
is like leaving a cookie out in a house full of roaches and turning off the lights.
Yeah, how dare we invade a conversation about pre-conceived stereotypes.
Wanna see a shitload of cockroaches, Lemieux? Get a load of the racist filth spewed by some of your fellow black liberals once they found out Raffi Williams was black.
When other black conservatives got on board and called her out, she really got racist:
Hi @JamilahLemieux. I know you didn’t mean to
embarrass yourself – this happens on the Internet -but
you owe @Raffiwilliams an apology.
@garyalan82 @bmorrett @BenHowe @Raffiwilliams
I thought he was White from his avi. You all are reacting to hearsay.
#SMH @JamilahLemieux is harming the Ebony brand. Questioning
“blackness” is something @EBONYMag has fought for yrs!
@JamilahLemieux no matter your opinion of his politics,
can’t you at least admit your comments were unkind and uncivil?
Not productive.
.@ellencarmichael I didn’t say anything unkind.
I’m not your mammy, I owe you nothing. Exit.
Before I let a group of White, Black or Green
Conservatives tell me I’m racist,
I will go tap dance in Times Square with a watermelon.
Well, start tapdancing, Ms. Bojangles:
.@JamilahLemieux You treated @Raffiwilliams a certain
way because you thought he was white? I’m
thinking of a term. That term is “racist.”
Lemieux spent the rest of the conversation telling her critics to “go away” and accusing them of being illiterate and ’embarrassing’. Nothing like a fool trying to tell other people they’re “embarrassing”.
Jackasses like Lemieux are the reason why blacks are still on the Dem plantation.
RNC chief Reince Priebus fired off a letter to Ebony, pointing out that Lemieux’s bigoted rant was counterproductive to Ebony’s goals, and requested an apology. Ebony agreed and the haters really went bat-shit crazy, especially Elon James from the leftwing rag Netroots Nation.
Nothing brings out bigotry from black racists like Republicans and conservatives who confront their hypocrisy.
No one does racism like the left, and I’ve seen plenty of racism on the part of minorities. The fact that these imbeciles fling racial epithets at people of their own color because they think for themselves and refuse to buy into the victimology crap, is contemptible.
