Utopia Talk / Politics / Can you be both black & Republican?

Rugian Member	Sat Sep 26 09:53:25 Apparently it's one or the other. If you're a black person that votes Republican, you aren't black. ---- Women's March co-founder Tamika Mallory calls Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron a 'sell out' and tells him she has 'no respect for your black skin' Tamika Mallory, the co-founder of the Women's March, has harshly criticized Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, comparing him to 'sell-out N**roes' who participated in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Mallory spoke at a press conference in Louisville, Kentucky on Friday, where she blasted Cameron over a grand jury's decision not to directly charge officers in Breonna Taylor's killing. 'Daniel Cameron is no different than the sell-out N**roes that sold our people into slavery and helped white men capture our people to abuse them and to traffic them,' she said. 'That is who you are Daniel Cameron. 'You are a sell-out, and you were used by the system to harm your own mama, your own black mama,' she continued. 'We have no respect for you, no respect for your black skin because all of our skinfolk ain't our kinfolk and you do not belong to black people at all.' Cameron is Kentucky's first black attorney general, and is considered to be a rising star in the Republican party. He was included on President Donald Trump's shortlist of potential Supreme Court nominees, and praised by the president, who said he handled the Taylor case 'very well'. On Wednesday, Cameron announced the grand jury findings in Taylor's March 13 death. She was fatally shot by police during a drug raid, after cops returned fire when her boyfriend shot at and struck one officer. Cameron presented the evidence to a state grand jury, which found Taylor's shooting death justified. The grand jury indicted one of the three officers who opened fire for wanton endangerment, over alleged wild shots that entered a neighboring apartment. Mallory pointed out that Cameron announced the grand jury finding on September 23, the same date that in 1955 an all-white jury acquitted two defendants in the murder of Emmett Till, a black boy who was lynched in Mississippi. 'Now I don't know if it's just that Daniel Cameron is stupid or that he is very, very, very clear about history and made a decision to wait six months and come forward with this announcement, this garbage that we received on the exact same day that Emmett Till's family received the same results,' she said. A spokesperson for Cameron's office said that he understands that the outcome of the grand jury proceedings was not what protesters had hoped for. 'Regarding today's statements at the press conference, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but prosecutors and Grand Jury members are bound by the facts and by the law,' the spokesperson said in a statement. 'Attorney General Cameron is committed to doing everything he can to ensure the integrity of the prosecution before him and continue fulfilling his ethical obligations both as a prosecutor and as a partner in the ongoing federal investigation.' http://www...l-Daniel-Cameron-sell-out.html
Habebe Member	Sat Sep 26 09:59:04 Younger black voters are less supportive of the Democratic party. Not that they lean more Republican but that they just seem apathetic to vote at all. http://fiv...ers-heading-into-election-day/
jergul large member	Sat Sep 26 12:22:57 I wager a black republican is at least 100 times more common than a black murderer. So sure. If we want to generalize from that basis, then obviously there are 100 times more black republicans than there are blacks.
Rugian Member	Sat Sep 26 12:45:45 ...was that a racist joke? From jergul of all people? Congratulations man! Welcome to the party!
tumbleweed the wanderer	Sat Sep 26 13:08:05 her complaints had nothing to do with him being Republican
habebe Member	Sat Sep 26 13:12:39 Sigh, listen about the emmit till thing. You could probably fins some racist act or whatever for every single day of the year. This lady sounds like those Neo guys calling someone a " traitor to your race"
Rugian Member	Sat Sep 26 14:30:18 Tumbleweed He followed the law. That's an exclusively Republican feature these days.

tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Sep 30 13:39:58 a grand juror claims the AG misrepresented what happened so now the grand jury details will be released let's see if the AG lied that it was the grand jury who chose not to charge anyone for shooting Breonna the AG spoke at Trump's convention (because he's black) so he's probably also a garbage person
Rugian Member	Wed Sep 30 13:44:36 ^its going to be so amusing to watch tw and the media cry OUTRAGE when it turns out that the grand jury merely voted on the indictments recommended to them by the prosecutor. Even though that's in fact how grand juries almost always work.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Sep 30 13:47:15 that's not the issue he said it was the grand jury who decided... thus he's a liar if they never had the option
Rugian Member	Wed Sep 30 13:54:22 Of course they had the option. Grand juries can pretty much do whatever they want. Whether the prosecutor asked the grand jury to rubber stamp a murder indictment is a separate issue.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Wed Sep 30 14:02:45 well we should see within a week what the dispute is over
Wrath of Orion Member	Wed Sep 30 14:08:57 It looks like semantics to me.
kargen Member	Wed Sep 30 17:35:42 J. C. Watts pulled off black Republican well.
