Black Democrats in MD make candid admission
Making race-based attacks on a black person is ok: as long as it’s a black conservative Republican like Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele. S. A. Miller reports in this morning’s Washington Times (reg. req.):
Black Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican.
Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance, calling him an “Uncle Tom” and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log.
Operatives for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) also obtained a copy of his credit report — the only Republican candidate so targeted.
But black Democrats say there is nothing wrong with “pointing out the obvious.”
“There is a difference between pointing out the obvious and calling someone names,” said a campaign spokesman for Kweisi Mfume, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate and former president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
State Sen. Lisa A. Gladden, a black Baltimore Democrat, said she does not expect her party to pull any punches, including racial jabs at Mr. Steele, in the race to replace retiring Democratic U.S. Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes.
“Party trumps race, especially on the national level,” she said. “If you are bold enough to run, you have to take whatever the voters are going to give you. It’s democracy, perhaps at its worse, but it is democracy.”
Delegate Salima Siler Marriott, a black Baltimore Democrat, said Mr. Steele invites comparisons to a slave who loves his cruel master or a cookie that is black on the outside and white inside because his conservative political philosophy is, in her view, anti-black.
“Because he is a conservative, he is different than most public blacks, and he is different than most people in our community,” she said. “His politics are not in the best interest of the masses of black people.”
Read the whole thing.
My mouth literally dropped open when I first read this story this morning. Rarely do we get such an open and honest glimpse into the reasoning behind why black Democrats think it’s ok to use race-baiting tactics against another black person. It’s bad enough when they use them against white Republicans they disagree with, but black Republicans, too? These are the exact same types of nasty, uncalled-for attacks that – if used against them – you would never see an end to the howls of outrage coming from the usual suspects in a massive appeal for an apology, calls for those utilizing such tactics to step down from any noteworthy position in government they may hold, urgent appeals to hold ‘talks’ to ‘get beyond the color’, etc etc. You know the routine.
And three guesses as to who you will NOT see calling these racist black Democrats to the carpet for their below-the belt actions. Hint: their initials are D.N.C.

You won’t see the Baltimore Sun or the WAPost calling the Black MD Democrats on the carpet for their racism, either. The MSM are racists, but “good” racists.
Well according to Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson that’s not racist. If the majority of blacks in this country want to know why the democratic party treats them poorly, take a look. The party knows they have the blacks regardless. Any black that thinks outside of the box and makes his way without being a race hustler or hate monger is considered “not black”. But I ask, after forty years, are the blacks any better under the wing of the democrats. Latinos and Asians coming to this country are further ahead because they vote their interests not their race.
Would be interesting to see if the Sun carried an editorial in this weekends paper about it. I won’t hold my breath.
I saw the original Sambo thing (I can’t remember who pointed me there in the first place…Malkin?) and I was floored not only by the audacity of the poster, but by the comment section. I hadn’t realized he had replaced the picture, though. That surprises me, because he was so adamant in the righteousness of his cause and the obvious racism of, you know, whitey.
I. Hate. Hypocrites.
2% of the black population agree with bush. If a black runs for office as a Republican he/she takes their chances with those kinds of numbers. How any person of color could support this corrupt,greedy and crony filled admintistration is hard to fathom. Peace
Michael Steele is a native of, and lives in, Prince George’s County, Maryland.
EVERY county and state level elected official in Prince George’s County is a Democrat.
The majority of them are Black.
Half of the non-Black minority are Hispanic.
Top school adminsitrators are predominately Black.
If you believe the Democrat’s rhetoric, you would expect Prince George’s County to be a paradise, especially for “minorities.”
You would be wrong.
Prince George’s County’s rapidly increasing murder rate is second highest in Maryland and the highest in the Washington, DC, suburbs.
Prince George’s County’s schools are the second worst in Maryland and the worst in the Washington, DC, suburbs. The Black school chief recently resigned while being investigated by the FBI; one of his top assistants ($130,000 per year) has just been convicted on federal drug laundering charges and has been indicted on witness tampering charges.
Prince George’s County has more car thefts and violent carjackings than all the rest of Maryland and the DC suburbs put together.
Attacking Michael Steele is just part of the Democrats scheme to distract the public and the press from their ongoing abysmal failure to either protect or educate the people of Prince George’s County.
Diane,
Your’s is not the first report of the corruption, hypocrisy, and failure that is PG County. Again, the Democrats practice “the Politics of Personal Destruction” rather than compete in the arena of ideas.
Above, steve is just another partisan to troll through the blogs spouting his hate as reason and logic.
Why is it that white males are allowed to think for themselves, such as either supporting or opposing Affirmative Action, and not be widely thought of as traitors to their group, but blacks and Hispanics and women must all think just as the group stereotype held by liberals believes they ought to think, or they are somehow just not real blacks or real Hispanics or real women?
Putting the chains back on
Glad to see ya Diane C. Russell. I remember you from La Shawn’s. You had great facts that you wrote about Maryland on her blog too.
Keep cool in the trenches!
Steve seems to show up at various and diverse conservative blogs, where he whines and mumbles his lies. I would love to see into a day in his life, to see how pathetic and lame someone like that really is.
Diane, welcome to the ST blog. I like your style already – and if Baklava is singing your praises, I know you’ve got to be cool then
Dana, great post – both here and at your blog! I think that is a question that black Dems ought to ask themselves.

I guess the term “guilty white liberal” isn’t familiar to you?
