Unfortunately, black conservatives are often denigrated with epithets instead of being debated with thoughts and philosophies.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n

It seems the left is always on the hunt for stories that fit their narrative of America\u2019s prevalent racism, and for perpetrators to punish accordingly.<\/p>\n

\"Marie<\/a>

Marie Fischer<\/p><\/div>\n

Just look at what happened when a man with an extensive media following played the victim card by accusing<\/a> a woman of being racist after he filmed their interaction in a park. Even though the accusations are questionable \u2014 she can\u2019t be heard saying the alleged insult in the video \u2014 she still lost her job after the man used the bully pulpit of social media to foment outrage and put pressure on her employer.<\/p>\n

Her offense, if it happened at all, was minor compared to what leftists do to black conservatives. Yet when leftists \u2013 especially white ones and those burrowed in corporate media \u2013 all too frequently use either dog-whistle terms or flat-out racist rhetoric about black conservatives, they rarely face backlash, loss of status, or financial ruin.<\/p>\n

During the recent campaign to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the top challenger \u2013 Larry Elder, a black conservative \u2013 was called the \u201cblack face of white supremacy<\/a>\u201d in a Los Angeles Times commentary. This slur was repeated<\/a> at a rally attended by Newsom. Around the same time, a white woman wearing a gorilla mask hurled<\/a> an egg at Elder as he campaigned on the streets of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

No prominent (read: left-leaning) black group defended Elder or condemned the racially charged attacks against him. What if someone in a gorilla mask had attempted to assault Andrew Gillum<\/a>, the black Democrat candidate for Florida governor in 2018? This would likely have been in the news cycle for weeks. The offender would have been arrested for criminal mischief at a minimum, but probably for a hate crime \u2013 which is a felony<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This double standard isn\u2019t called out as it should be. For those of us in minority groups \u2013 and in the even smaller minority of black and conservative \u2013 we\u2019ve lived with the hatefulness because we do not march in lockstep with leftists.\u00a0In simple words, we are the true resisters.<\/p>\n

Elder was not the first case of the left and the media disparaging a minority conservative. When Sen. Tim Scott gave the rebuttal to Joe Biden\u2019s State of the Union address, the response<\/a> from the left was beyond childish; it was disgusting and flat-out racist. Meanwhile, Twitter allowed the \u201cUncleTim\u201d hashtag to trend<\/a> for more than 12 hours.<\/p>\n

Twitter would have likely blocked or banned such behavior immediately if it had been targeted at the Big Tech giant\u2019s ideological compatriots. But offending black conservatives apparently doesn\u2019t violate community standards unless enough people complain to make the offense overwhelmingly obvious.<\/p>\n

During a congressional hearing in 2017, Rep. Steve Cohen, D.-Tenn., called<\/a> the Center for Urban Renewal and Education\u2019s (CURE) Star Parker \u201cignorant\u201d after she compared the verbiage of Roe v. Wade<\/em> to the Dred Scott<\/em> decision. He spoke condescendingly to her throughout the exchange. Again, no outrage from black or feminist organizations.<\/p>\n

In 2015, actor George Takei called<\/a> Justice Clarence Thomas a \u201cclown in blackface\u201d because of his stance on same-sex marriages. Nothing happened to Takei. His social media accounts remained unlocked. People moved on. Had he had said such a thing about former President Barack Obama, who opposed<\/a> same-sex marriage until 2012, Takei might have been canceled.<\/p>\n

Also in 2015, Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson was called everything from \u201cUncle Tom\u201d to a \u201ctraitor to his race.\u201d The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) declined<\/a> to condemn the attacks or even comment on them, simply stating \u201cWe are a non-partisan organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Atlanta Jewish Times removed<\/a> a commentary by former Georgia state lawmaker Vernon Jones because of his alleged \u201cfar-right\u201d associations. It begs the question: would they similarly remove something written by Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock? After all, Warnock has spoken<\/a> positively of antisemites and made anti-Israel<\/a> comments.<\/p>\n

We cannot forget how President Joe Biden, who is hailed as a uniter in the media, told<\/a> black Americans who might want to vote for Trump: \u201cYou ain\u2019t black.\u201d<\/p>\n

I have been called a \u201cNazi\u201d while providing testimony at a local county council meeting against illegal immigration. That\u2019s actually quite funny since, besides being a black conservative, I\u2019m also an Orthodox Jew<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you look anywhere on social media, you will find similar scenarios of black conservatives being denigrated with epithets instead of being debated with thoughts and philosophies. The real question is whether this behavior from the left is simply being ignored, or being accepted.<\/p>\n
