Here’s a street poll I would like to see. In any city, on any given day, simply pose this question: “Are there any black conservatives in America?”
If such a poll were taken, I would bet all I have that the answers would fall into a very limited range between zero and the number of fingers on one hand.
Anyone who has partaken of mainstream media offerings in the past 40 years knows the answer that is expected. Of course, there cannot be any black conservatives, unless they are brainwashed “Uncle Toms,” “Oreos,” “house-slaves,” or just plain, ordinary, run-of-the-mill idiots.

Even though this theory, on its very face, runs contrary to the proposition of anti-racism – that all human beings are individuals and cannot be rightly judged by the color of their skins or by any other racially defining characteristics – we have been urged by a racist media for decades to accept it. Pigeonholing all people whose skins happen to be black into a single ideological mindset is every bit as vile and utterly racist as was Jim Crow. Coincidentally, the very Democrat party that sponsored Jim Crow laws across the South is the same party, which now has successfully proclaimed through its media mouthpieces that people whose skins are black are not, in fact, individuals with the capacity for free thinking, but are still to be judged “politically” by their skin color alone.
Therefore, most Americans have bought the big racist lie that there are no black conservatives in America, save those unfortunate, misguided, stupid few.
What a poisonous brew of malicious poppycock. And it’s been made possible by the racist mainstream media, all the while parading in public as the saviors of black Americans. It’s so vile and hypocritical that it should make any good person sick.

But there may be hope on the horizon. All it will take for this big, fat, racist lie to hit the ash heap of history is for black conservatives to come out of the closet en masse.
The clarion call to black conservatives has just been sounded in a courageous book by Lloyd Marcus, who has been very active in the Tea Party movement as a spokesman and entertainer. Marcus’ book, Confessions of a Black Conservative, tells it like it is in a concise format, heavily reliant on personal anecdotes fraught with heavy meaning for our whole society.
Marcus lambastes liberals, regardless of skin color, over their hapless, destructive policies, and reveals with utter clarity the need for black Americans to just walk off the new version of the Democrats’ plantation: the welfare state.
From the book, my personal favorite is Lloyd’s surgical takedown of actress Jeanane Garofalo, who has been a prominent favorite of the mainstream media’s assault on Tea Parties, calling them “racist” right-wingers, among other not-fit-for-decent-media epithets.
In Lloyd’s words to Ms. Garofalo:
Your arrogance in saying that I suffer from “Stockholm Syndrome” because I am a black man who loves his country and his fellow Americans is beyond measure.
I cannot begin to express how offensive it is for me to hear narcissistic, superior liberals lecturing me on why I should view myself as a victim and hate white America. You are sick, evil or both.
As a black man, I ask that you please confine your liberal insulting rhetoric on my behalf to your elitist cocktail parties where you pat yourselves on the back for the number of blacks on your guest list.
Whew! Ouch. Boy, would I love to see Jeanane and Lloyd in a face-off.
I met Lloyd during my ride on the Tea Party Express last fall and can only add that if any man has what it takes to awaken the American public to the big, fat racist lie, being perpetrated against this country by Democrats and their MSM mouthpieces, it is he. Unlike our current president, Lloyd is the real thing, an American down to his core. He declares proudly that he wants nothing to do with hyphenating himself.
It’s time to run the MSM and its racist lies off the cliff. Lloyd’s new book is leading the charge. And the fall cannot come soon enough.

Remember kids, don't feed the troll.
Did you even read the article?
Thomas Sowell is the heaviest hitter and a personal favorite in that arena. There are young and energetic people coming up working to extend the conservative reach to a larger African American population. Kevin Jackson, The Black Sphere, is one example.
Insulting and off-topic. Please show respect for the writers by addressing their arguments directly.
Please show respect for our writers by addressing their arguments directly.
That's all you've got? Do you assume all black Americans are democrats? It appears by your adolescent comment you are exactly the type of ignorant racist the author and Mr. Marcus was referring to.
Oh, don't forget Alfonzo Rachel…a new spokesperson for a new time with a timeless message.

I think black conservatives are more afraid to come out because of the flack they get from other black people. It's really too bad. I also think that conservatives in general don't spout their beliefs as flagrantly as liberals.
In other contexts, I think it's called profiling.
Black conservatives do not fit the Liberal "template."
Ergo, they do not exist.
OT : It's refreshing to see an example of a comment actually being deleted based on its content.
How's it going, working on the IntenseDebate filters?
I am still seeing posts deleted based on certain words … ( SociaIists, to give one example … I spelled that with a capital "I" instead of an "l". )
Then they'd have nothing to say…
Its simple… they do not fit into there LEXICON of thoughts….
That would force liberals to, you know, like think and stuff, and force them address the issue and not the person. And that would lead to the destruction of what they "stand" for, by the omnipotent hands of logic. Their templates simplify the world for them (since a shot messenger has trouble relaying the message), and allow them to dismiss any dissent.
Walter Williams is one of my all time favorite teaching commentators of any color…
He is brilliant, logical, and edgy…
I love this guy, in a non "brokeback' kinda way…
The idea that blacks are not even allowed to have thoughts of their own is an old one for the liberals…also works with women, Hispanics, any other group they think "belongs" to them.
Kiss that "content of their character" thing goodbye, guys and gals, here's what you are permitted to think today!
LLoyd Marcus is a very brave man, and impressive. I can't wait until Breitbart gets bigtolerance open, so men like Marcus have a place to share their ideas. Marcus is as much a trailblazer as Martin Luther King, and I suspect that King would have loved walking beside him.
Here is one young, 20-something black Conservative Tea Party activist who defies Liberal conventional stupidity. Most blacks are socially conservative but allow themselves to be political jackasses. I woke up at 13 after reading columns from my two idols, Thomas Sowell and Walter E. Williams. From that day on, I've been a self-taught student of American History and a firebrand torchbearer for Liberty. Ever since Obama's candidacy, my mother and I have been labeled as racists… from ignorant black people!!!
Thanks to Andrew Breitbart's Big Blogs and the New Media, black conservatives now have a larger audience to dispel long, tired Liberal myths. Why do I mention this, I for one will be contributing to one of the Big Blogs. The fact of the matter is we conservatives are destroying the liberal media template. Their race-card has backfired, burning to a crisp. Liberty triumphs over liberal stupidity at the end of the day.
There are many, many black conservatives….

Black conservatives are more abused by other blacks than anyone else! The racism of "you're black so you must support Obama" is appalling!!
the answer is simple…
It doesn't fit their 'narrative'. They, the State Controlled Media, has an agenda to push- and principled black conservatives just doesn't fit. It's just like Hollywood's obsession with Iraq war films that no one sees- they want to write, (or shall we say 'rewrite' history for the future generations) a dialogue that paints Progressivism as completely correct and everything else an evil diversion from the True Path.
Such is the way of the ideologue…
Mrs. Shiver,
Accusing blacks who aren't conservative of being of being on a plantation is as unfair, inacurrate and inflammatory as calling conservative blacks 'Uncle Toms'.
When you look at the media, isn''t Fox News the most lily white and racist of all?
(To be fair, if some of those black conservatives could morph into pretty and leggy blondes, FNC might give them more air time).
Wow! What a wonderful article! And timely, too. I'll pass on the link to my newsletter readers. Keep up the good work, Ms. Shiver! Oh, by the way, I think most of the aforementioned black conservatives are more attuned to federalism than conservatism.
I agree that conservatives are less demonstartive. I notice very few conservative bumper stickers on the cars at my office and plenty of Obama stickers, despite this being a defense contractor with a vast majority of conservative employees.
Loving you already, Adrian. Look forward to hearing more from you.
Stay strong………stay free!
Of course it will never happen, but this book ought to be on reading lists for high school seniors and college freshmen.
It's hard to argue against facts and reality when your only weapons are emotion and lies.
That's funny, but no, MSNBC is the most lily white and racist of them all.
I still remember that memorable quote from Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearing, calling the Anita Hill hearings a "high-tech lynching of a black man who deigns to think for himself."
Also, check out Charles Payne on Fox Business Network's Varney and Co. in the mornings and Fox News on the Cavuto's Saturday morning show. He's a great fiscal conservative!
A nitpick, but she doesn't actually say that liberal blacks are on a plantation, just that the welfare state is the Democrat's plantation.
Charles Payne is a major contributor to Fox News and Fox Business. But they hired him for his smarts and business acumen, not his race.
We have an awesome Conservative black candidate right here in AL05 Les Phillip running for Congress. Our local media tries to pretend that he doesn't exist, all that they see is the local good old boy lifetime pol & our flip flopping RINO Parker Griffith.
Fox News Channel is run by the same people who control the rest of the news, that is why they don't win every argument. If Murdoch was really a conservative there would be at least one competitor to the daily show on one of Fox's networks. If Fox was real everybody in America would know that Bush won the 2000 election (according to the Asscociated press and a bunch of other mainstream media sorces) Fox news came out around the same time as the internet started to get popular, to provide cover. Do you think it is a coincidence that 95% of the media is left wing and 5% is "conservative". That is the ratio it takes to keep half the country on one side and half on the other.
Don't forget Angela McGowren (I always spell her last name wrong) but she is running for Congress in Mississippi & is really terrific
By nature conservatives don't try to promote someone based on the their skin color, we like to promote someone based on their ideas.
We talk about Thomas Sowell, not "Thomas Sowell, black enconomist." It's Justice Clarence Thomas, not "Black Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas."
Our own ideology hurts us in the popular culture. We need more immersion. That's why I like what Zo does with Zonation.
Thomas Sowell and Walter E. Williams are a couple of the smartest guys around. I wish they'd run for office.
Sowell and Williams deserve better than that but i understand your sentiment.
I am truly sorry that once again someone has played the "race" card. I would have thought that we as a country had grown beyond that. No one deserved preferencial treatment based on race, sex, or religious beliefs. Articles like this do nothing but continue to spread hate.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me Obamacare! (apologies to Patrick Henry)
Yes, I read the article. Jesus! Can you people leave mom's basement for a few minutes and *shock and awe* deal with reality? The piece with Garfalo is hilarious – the founder of the Tea Party movement brought a sign to a HC protest comparing the American taxpayer to a "niggar"…how is that not a racist redneck move?
Arguing with morons like you is pointless. Your worldview is insane.
Nice censorship though!
What's appalling is that the party that has held blacks back with an endless array of promises is the one that continues to get blacks' loyalty. The condescension a black person has to overlook to believe this party sees them as anything more than a political pawn is astounding.
You're a breath of fresh air, Adrian–thanks for that. I hope you're right about destroying the Liberal template–it's about time.
Hear, hear. He is also a certified Economic genius.
On the internet? Surely you jest.
Make that "All Conservatives".
Wiping spittle from my face whenever my liberal acquaintances go on a rant becomes old in a hurry. As does repairing vandalized cars, etc.
For the Libs, childishness is a valid form of political expression, provided it supports the left.
Hang in there.
… a construct within which the liberal elite would prefer all minorities reside, expressing their gratitude at the polls.
My conservative, black best friend says she gets more hatred from other blacks than she's ever had from white people. So I'd definitely agree with your assessment.
You sir, are the man. God bless you.
It ain't the hue of the skin, it's what's rolling around in a persons head that matters. Period.
Actually, she doesn't say anything. She's quoting a black conservative author named Lloyd Marcus. A black man is telling other blacks that they need to get off welfare, because that's the modern-day equivalent of a plantation, and somehow that equates to a white woman saying that all liberal blacks are on a plantation? What's wrong with black men urging other blacks to get off welfare? Why is that a bad thing? Shouldn't be urging everyone to try to increase their standard of living and get off welfare?
Can you cite your sources for that claim Jay?
I mean any credible sources, not someone from HuffPo wrote it on their blog.
I'm curious because I have yet to see any signs like that in person or meet anyone at a tea party who cared about race, only about government overspending.
I saw some of those signs on tv coverage, the fringes make controversial tv and I know there are some out there on the fringes in every group, but I don't think that type of person would be welcome by anyone I met and certainly not by me.
What about Juan Williams? Granted he's a bit on the left side but isn't a frothing liberal and occassionally says something that makes some sense.
"If he [Roman Polanski] did that to my daughter, I'd kill his @$$."
What's really frustrating is blacks are overshelmingly Democrat but when asked about individual issues (education, religion, national defense, economics, etc.) they clearly fall within Republican ideology. They say they're Democrats because they have been told Republican are racists and when asked for evidence they cite segregation and Jim Crow laws passed in the South when it was completely dominated by the Democrats.
Ooooh are you one of those "cerebreal" cogs in the liberal electorate? You should know that conservatives have jobs and work hard; it's the liberal bloggers who sit in their parents' basement all day sucking up precious resources from the rest of us so they can make stupid comments on blogs they don't even like. You sound like a kid in kindergarden calling people names.

Mr. Sowell is awesome !! I youtubed him awhile back and he schools the liberals back in the 70's and 80's. I wish he as younger and had the vigor he had as a younger man. He is a genius and his voice should always be heard. Here is a link about diversity and affirmative action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6ESR76BHow
Condoleeza Rice….La Shawn Barber….Star Parker…..let's hear it for the Ladies !
I like what Morgan Freeman said. He said, "I am not an African-American. I am simply an American who happens to be black." I believe we place too much stock in race and not enough stock in character and fortitude. I didn't vote for Obama or any other liberal lackey simply on the basis that they don't support the ideals I support..(..i.e. smaller government, free enterprise, depending on your own two hands to make something of yourself.). The fact that Obama is black didn't even fit into my thinking process. I rallied for Alan Keyes(another black conservative failed to be mentioned) when he announced his candidacy. I would still support him. When will black Americans realize that all liberal mentality and policies have done for you for the past 70 years is trade in one form of slavery for another. That is a fact, not just rhetoric.
Jay, the guy holding the sign that had a misspelled racial slur was nothing more than a liberal plant. How is it that 3 minutes after it was supposedly photographed, that it hit EVERY liberal media source? ITs what they want ignorant people like yourself to see. I don't say you are ignorant as a way to slam you. I say it because thats what you are.
Ignorant a. 1. having or showing little or no knowledge 2. Unaware
I think you are a little of both.
It was probably Jay
Remember Frederick Douglass
The only hatred I've seen are from easily led Black people who think Black conservatives like myself are "sellouts" or brainwashed. And the State Run Media is a major culprit in this lie among my community.
Kyle-Anne Shiver deserves a standing ovation for telling the truth about the State Run Media spreading the very racism its supposedly opposes.
Article brings up an excellent issue by pointing out the MSM is racist by ignoring black conservatives and not showing blacks as individuals and independent thinkers.
You put your finger on it. Take that, Cris Matthews.

Class warfare will always be used as a political tool. Next up are Hispanics. Immigration reform is coming and a whole new wave of racism chants will be hurled our way if we dare speak up against it.
Also, let's not forget Lt. Col. Allen West.
Everytime I hear a black conservative call in to talk to Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity I am thrilled. I hate to say it's still news to me, but it is. It's refreshing and encouraging and it gives me hope for this country. I never heard about black conservatives all those years when I was trying to be a good little liberal and listening to the alphbet soup fools in the media.
Lol. I gained a lot of respect for Juan when I saw that.
the founder of the Tea Party movement brought a sign to a HC protest comparing the American taxpayer to a "niggar"
He's not the founder of the Tea Party movement. Question is, did you fall for his lie, or are you helping propagate it because it serves your purposes?
Speaking of Star Parker, WORLD magazine reports that she's running for a Congressional seat in California:
http://www.worldmag.com/articles/16512
Woohoo!
Would you like a little cyanide with your tea?
It's not the ones who are "catapulting the propaganda" that are disconnected from reality – they know damned well what they are doing – it's all those pathetic white people who are swallowing this garbage whole! And let's face some sobering truths, shall we? Other than a small handful of blubbering Uncle Toms, they're almost entirely white. The disconnect between reality and delusion in this country is widespread and appalling. That would partially explain the political careers of people like Jeff Sessions and Michele Bachmann. People like them are only able to advance because of the stampeding ignorance of their constituents. In the land of the brain-dead, the half-wit is king.

Mr. Degan, do you honestly believe that any of us would subject ourselves to the ridicule and hostility of the black community, and the white liberals who coddle them, if it weren't a matter of principle? I don't make a single dime from being open and honest about my conservative worldivew – and it is a worldview, not a cynical ploy for money, attention or political influence. I have little of either at the moment, since I am looking for work. Lucrative gig, this black conservative thing.
Your condescending commentary insults my family, which raised me to believe in the American Dream, to eschew excuses and embrace personal responsibility, and to have a strong and lasting faith in Jesus Christ. If you didn't know my family's race or political affiliation, you would think they were staunch conservatives. Their allegiances with the Democrats made no sense to me because they believed in nothing the Democrats stood for, other than buying into the notion that Democrats were "for" blacks and Republicans were "against" blacks, a naked appeal to emotion rather than reason.
When I see liberal policies that have decimated the black family through perverse incentives that reward sloth and encourage having children out of wedlock, to the point where only 30% of black children are born into two-parent homes compared to 80% in the 1950s, when I see young black males with a 50% or lower rate of high school graduation, when one out of every two black babies is aborted, killing more blacks than all over causes of death combined since 1973, when 94% percent of blacks murdered have their lives taken by other blacks, when the black poverty rate is essentially unchanged despite taxpayer dollars spent in multiples of billions since the Great Society – well, I have a hard time singing a joyful gospel tune for liberalism.
The fact is that the path out of poverty – staying in school and graduating, getting and keeping a job, staying out of trouble with the law, marrying after the age of 21, and having children, IN THAT ORDER – has very little to do with the paternalistic hand of overreaching government, and everything to do with personal responsibility.
Our federal government, which was designed to be a protector and enforcer, is acting in a role for which it is ill-suited, that of provider, and has stepped all over the prerogatives of families, communities and churches, three of the stalwart institutions that held the black community together in the most difficult of days. Forgive me for having convictions that differ from yours.
One last point – I worked hard to attain a master's degree, serve my country as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Air Force, and make a good living for my wife, to whom I've been married for 25 years, and my three children. If that makes me "blubbering," "brain-dead," or "half-wit," I embrace the labels proudly. We have fallen far in this country when people who wake up every morning and try to do the right thing every day are subjects of ridicule from those who think they are better or more enlightened than others.
The left does the same thing to women; look at how all prominent conservative women are treated?
To the poster who commented on Fox News: I am literally at this moment watching a segment about transparency at the 0bama WH (what transparency?) and two of the three contributors are black. In fact, I see many blacks on Fox. You must be one of those people who calls the Tea Party racist as well.
They will not be held down .
I didn't say anything about Mrs. Shiver's race (its not relevant) and I don't think Mr. Marcus's race is relevant either. My point is that the term is condescending and inflammatory.
Also, I don't see how one can conflate opposing childish namecalling with opposing personal responsibility.
Whatever other label one might add to black and white persons, the overriding label that will keep us divided is Race. On the advice of Thomas Jefferson, white American Race Scientists set out to prove if Negro/Blacks were an inferior race. Those Scientists used black and white tax monies to prove what they set out to prove. As long as this was enfranchising whites and disenfranchising everyone else no one was concerned about the long term effects, which we are still dealing with today in, social, political and other ways.
Black/Negroes have learned that in somethings they must stand united, because White Superiority and priviliging vs Black Inferiority and disenfranchising is still encoded in the universal subconscious of mankind.
White America created the new form of racism that humanity had never seen in all of its history. It was viscous, vile, ungodly, and certainly could not be from superiorily intelligent and civilized minds. Ending the physical evil of slavery has done nothing to delete the racial polarization that white America has programmed in the subconscious of all of humanity, so its now up to white Americans to use their supposedly superior minds to get rid of the nonsense that has now become problematic, to not only those it was supposed to harm.
"Get off the plantation" isn't namecalling – it's a criticism of welfare policy. The comparison is pretty easy to make – a place of safety and security, although at a bare minimum living standard, so long as you do what the "master" wants.
If you read what was actually thought during the slave days, often the argument went that slaves couldn't take care of themselves so they needed their "masters" to look after them.
It's an image used to show that living on welfare isn't actually good for you – it tends to keep you down. My wife works in social services, and she could tell countless stories of how it works better for the family if they are able to get through tough times without going on welfare since getting off of it is so incredibly difficult (mentally as well as economically).
One thing I cannot understand is how the Democratic Party has any credibility whatsoever considering their vile and racist history in this country. That history is so bad that one would ascribe it to fiction, and say that such could not possibly have happened (and continues to happen) in America. Read up on that history, you will be dismayed.
These are the people who want to take over our lives.
I will research Mr. Rachel. I'm excited and gratified to see more black conservatives speaking out.
I miss Condi on the Sunday AM shows. She is fantastic. One of my golf buddies is a cool black gal and also a registered Democrat. When I waxed poetic about Condi during one of our foursomes, she took extreme umbrage. I asked her to take a moment and really watch and listen to what Condi says and how she says it. While she remains a Democrat, my pal is now a Condi fan. Honestly, as a woman myself, Condi reflects everything to which an American can and should aspire.
What is with this "racist" bs. Lauren Greene was the newsreader and alternate talking head on Fox and Friends for years. I still miss her. She's a concert pianist, runner up Miss Minnesota, I believe, incredibly gorgeous. I think she still does their Christian-specific special events and documentary coverage. Charles Payne goes without saying. Plus, who's the guy holding down the Washington bureau? He is not only very good but absolutely hilarious. Also, let's not forget himself, Geraldo [gag].
Who are you people. (And yes I meant it just as I said it).
There are black conservatives, just not many, and they have almost no credibility within the larger black community. It's a failure of your belief structure to address any of the concerns facing communities of color that has lead to this problem. I get you don't want to talk about race and you feel that somehow makes you better, but in case you haven't noticed (by the fact that we never vote for you) the strategy is not working! Quite simply, such an ideology ignores the reality and ramifications of hundreds of years of institutionalized racism in this country. Just saying, that's not us anymore isn't going to solve the aftermath. You may not see Clarence Thomas as an Uncle Tom, but as a person of color, he is one step away from shukin and jivin with Michale Steele and telling us how great Ronald Regan was.
P.S. Do you research and see how AWFUL life was for the black community during the Regan years.
"Most blacks are socially conservative but allow themselves to be political jackasses"…
Love it! Saying of the week…hillarious! (does that make me racist because I play into that old stereo type that every black man is funny???)
"To be fair, if some of those black conservatives could morph into pretty and leggy blondes, FNC might give them more air time…"
So let me get this straight…are you against them because they are not "pretty and leggy blondes" or are you just sexist???
"If he [Roman Polanski] did that to my daughter, I'd kill his @$$."
Did Juan say that???
I respect Juan because I believe he is honest in his liberalism and truely believes what he says. I even agree w/his point of view at times. Unlike Bob Beckal, whom I dispise, I think he only carries the far left talking points at all times. It's mindless and infuriating. I think Juan actually takes sides on an individual basis, not on what the party has always told him is the "correct" answer.
I would have stood up and cheered if he said that about the polock Roman (fitting name), if that is indeed what he said as I couldn't agree w/the statement more! Isn't "killing his @$$" something both sides can agree on???
I'm sorry…I didn't mean to insult polock like that…
Where's your proof that the Reagan years were bad for Black people?
Frankly, I've heard more complaints about Black unemployment and diminished dreams under the first Black President (Obama) than I did under Reagan.
The Democrats have done a brilliant job using the MSM (see post above) along with pop culture and public education to whitewash their racist past.
So, it makes sense that many Black people think Democrats are "pro-Black." I know because I once was one until I started really asking "Have Democrat policies REALLY made Black people's lives better?"

Speaking of credible Black conservatives, check out these words from Malcolm X:
*Malcolm X slams Affirmative Action, Welfare as Slavery for Modern Black people:

*"Ballot or the Ballot": Malcolm crucifies Black people who blindly vote for the racist, exploitative Democrats:
http://teachingamericanhistory.org/library/index….
Due to links like the ones above, I begin to understand why the Democrat Party and race pimps (Sharpton, Jackson, Wright) are increasingly reluctant to use Malcolm X as a pro-liberal icon.
Your comments remind me of the "Ballot or the Ballot," a classic speech by Malcolm X.
This excerpt from his speech really stuck with me (emphasis mine):
It's got to be the ballot or the bullet. The ballot or the bullet. If you're afraid to use an expression like that, you should get on out of the country; you should get back in the cotton patch; you should get back in the alley. They get all the Negro vote, and after they get it, the Negro gets nothing in return. All they did when they got to Washington was give a few big Negroes big jobs. Those big Negroes didn't need big jobs, they already had jobs. That's camouflage, that's trickery, that's treachery, window-dressing. I'm not trying to knock out the Democrats for the Republicans. We'll get to them in a minute. But it is true; .you put the Democrats first and the Democrats put you last.

They get all the Negro vote, and after they get it, the Negro gets nothing in return. All they did when they got to Washington was give a few big Negroes big jobs. Those big Negroes didn't need big jobs, they already had jobs. That's camouflage, that's trickery, that's treachery, window-dressing. I'm not trying to knock out the Democrats for the Republicans. We'll get to them in a minute. But it is true; you put the Democrats first and the Democrats put you last.
