It seems that the crux of that whole piece is that “publicly opposing someone’s bigotry makes YOU a bigot”.

I don’t disagree that there’s a certain smugness to modern American liberalism. I don’t think Gawker Media and its family of self-justifying blogs, that dabble in the occasional homophobic hit piece against their rivals, do liberalism a lot of favors.

I honestly don't think she's there to reach out to Black people, she's there to reach out to white people to let them know that they're reaching out to Black people.

You’re selling Don King short. He really did kill a person, actually two.

You’re right.

Latrell Sprewell tried to choke the shit out of his coach too.

So maybe I started at a deficit.

This is the party that thought women would like Sarah Palin, soooo...

1. Ben Carson

Hanging out a Tony Robbins seminar?

I’ve got a boisterous Republican family member on Facebook. He was a Cruz fan, now “reluctantly supports Trump”. There’s no talking to these people without them shouting “you don’t think I’m capable of voting my mind?”. Anything you say or do comes off as paternal hectoring.

Since the 2000 election we’ve been on a course of politics colliding with, and becoming indistinguishable from, satire.

Stacey Dash is probably stamping her foot like an angry, self-hating Rumpelstiltskin right now, outraged that the position didn’t go to her.

There's also Herman Cain and Ben "Gifted Hands" Carson.

Ok, so two votes. Plus those two YouTube Black women, so that’s four. Add some of those Black Republicans who go on Fox News to talk shit about Black people, and he has at least seven Black votes so far. I mean, that’s not nothing...

299 to go!

Wasn’t this literally an SNL joke? On the Trump episode? I mean, it was a Cabinet position and not a campaign job, but still.

Does someone who works for Trump think that Black people like Omarosa or something?

Well, you know she has Stacey Dash's vote on lock. There's that.

Trump has a black friend! Ergo, he can’t possibly be racist!

Case closed.
