One of the biggest problems inside black politics is this idea that black people who are conservative have somehow betrayed black people. Democrats have been pushing that BS for years. James Clyburn says Clarence Thomas “rebelled” against his own background. Why? Because Thomas didn’t arrive at the politics Clyburn... expected from a black man raised in Georgia? That tells you everything. Clarence Thomas has spent decades on the Supreme Court thinking and ruling according to his own worldview and morals. I guess if you are a black man, according to Clyburn, you must be a Democrat. Now tell me this, Congressman: What the hell have you or the Democrats done for black people?show more

UNCLETOM IS WHO THE BLACK DEMS ARE

As a white guy I have never--not even once--been told I'm a traitor to 'my race' for not voting a certain way. The concept is so freakin INSANE to me.

Most Black conservatives have sold out the Black community.

Justice Clarence Thomas follows the Constitution!!!

Thomas spent decades on the Supreme Court ruling according to the law. His worldview and morals had nothing to do with his decisions.

if you ask me, he is a sell out to his own people. And yet even now he remains one of the most powerful politicians in Washington. He hasn't spoken up for black Americans, he speaks up for the party. Black people are just a tool for him and the rest of the legacy Democrats. Soon enough he'll discover that the party no longer needs him.

This has always been a problem but is on steroids now. Black people that don't subscribe to a tribal idea of "community" based solely on the colour of their skin saying they have to think a certain way, get called "coons, Uncle Tom's or race traitors." Means of control.

Nothing at all. The Democrats want to give all these deadbeats free stuff. This is what Clyburn and the Democrats have done for years. This is what they do, nothing else.

That is the weapon democrats use, wrap your identity up with their agenda. It is how they get people to be more loyal to them versus their own families, local communities, and self interest. It’s how they get people to change their tribe so to speak.

Well said, and so true. From the beginning of time, the Democrats have used the black population as pawns inside the voting apparatus. Get the politician into office, and forget about the black people that got you there.

I might be wrong. Frequently am. But it seems like more black people lately are beginning to feel more comfortable with conservative logic. It’s a promising sign, in my opinion.

I’d rather be considered a traitor to my race than an ignorant tool of Communists or a violent ghetto hoodrat.

When you vote against Black voting rights and more Black young people getting into college, you're a traitor. Thomas has consistently voted and ruled against Black people. Fact.

No. Its because many blk conservatives promote policies that are against the interests of black people.

"Candyland Clyburn" proves that "black" is not dermal; it's behavioral.

He’s the black man that the slave owners used to control the other blacks on the plantation.

It makes me realize who the real racists are! Clyburn is much more racist than anyone I know.

Fantastic commentary

You’re just another asshole with a stupid platform to peddle rubbish.

So it’s about race and that’s it. RETARTED

The issue is that the black people in the government like Clyburn think that they all should think and vote a certain way. As to Justice Thomas he believes he should vote according to how they feel on cases instead of what the constitution reads. Thomas follows the law.

I thought slavery ended…..

Bitch bye Clarence Thomas is a COON and democrats can definitely do better by black people but republicans damn sure don’t give 2 fucks about black poor or minority groups. So fuck you too COON!

You are betraying, Republicans canceled affirmative action and DEI programs many blacks used and needed.

He's nuts

Let's answer like this : Did the push for "Jim Crow" Laws put you in your current position, or did the passage of Civil Rights Laws, and the preservation of those Laws by Democrats and people like Clyburn ? Now you have your what-in-the-hell-answer.

Correct

"Groups that rose from poverty to prosperity seldom did so by having their own racial or ethnic leaders to follow” "Racism is not dead, but it is on life support — kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by condemning others." TSowell

I can't get over the smell.

Another communist going personal cause he not intelligent enough to make a educated decision

@TheBlackCaucus Clyburn is a racist thats why....

Black Democrats love dey massa

Dude, Clarence has done NOTHING for his race, NOTHING!!!!!!

@noturbine And why the hell are you letting islam take over your party?
