Claiming that you have a higher security rating than the Commander in Chief isn't substance.
Saying that you're a latter day Harriet Tubman isn't substance
Saying that blacks are stupid and they only vote the way they do because they're brainwashed and if they wanted to change their political party they wouldn't know how to do it isn't substance

Where's the racism in the article?

1. In the future, please link the article you want us to read...helps us from having to dig into sub-links.
2. I didn't find the article racist.
3. Playing the race card in every possible situation and argument is about as rare around here and in politics as a redneck at a nascar race.

I did. The thread is actually about the Blaze article and West's complaining. I'm just asking what he's complaining about

There's racism all over that article.


That would be what we'd be hearing if it were about Obozo the clown.


Oh....and Holder being questioned about fast & furious.....all due to racism of course

I see the left doesn't like it when the right uses their favorite excuse.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Allen West is the black voice in the wilderness that the dems would rather not hear.. He is black and he is telling the truth . The dems don't want to lose control over the blacks.. West is another way of thinking which the dems can't stand to have around.

If West was not black they would not be so hard on him in the article..because of his blackness , he is more effective in saying I am a black man and there is another way to think. Allen West's blackness is a threat so they beat his message down.

I would say that it's racist to claim that blacks aren't able to change their political party with some latter day Harriet Tubman, or to claim that when they vote they don't really know what they're doing and only vote that way because they're brainwashed

I didn't mean where's the racism in Allen West, I meant where's the racism in the Times article

You're answer proves what I've said before, that any time a black conservative is critized the right will claim it's racism.

I think it might be because of this impression you somehow got that we're super sensitive to being called racist or being seen as racist and want to avoid it at all cost, so you think that by crying racism then we'll stop critizing them. I don't think that works with too many people and it certainly doesn't work with me.

The article is in no way racist, not even close. There is not an once of racism in that article. It is 100% non racist. You absurd claim that they would have gone easier on a white guy is proof of that
