Finally, two women of color who are articulating their support for the party which stands opposite of the party your "stereotypical black female" would generally be associated with supporting. Of course, I'm talking about the Democrat party. And your comparison with Ms. Berry in BAPS and these women is honestly pretty offensive. If this OP accomplishes anything, it will be to show just how quickly the left will attack women of color who have dared to step outside of their "stereotypical" role in the political world and support conservative views and values. It seems like Democrats only support minorities who fall in line and keep blindly supporting their party. I can only hope more and more of our black brethren here in the states get a chance to see these women and hear their message. It's high time people of color realize that they don't have to keep voting for the Democrat party out of some sense of tradition or loyalty.
Certainly, they have “broken the mold” with regards to the politics of the majority of black women. That’s their hustle. That’s why Trump fans want to believe these women. That’s why Trump parades them around. (That, and he likes a good minstrel show.) That’s why those fools at Fox are daft enough to have political discussions with these two.

They act exactly like Halle Barry does in BAPS. It’s true, and it makes me cringe. Take it up with them if that offends you.

Otherwise, I salute their hustle. Obviously, they’ve got Trump supporters snowed. I’m glad you’re all in with them, R2M. Here’s their Youtube channel. Enjoy!

I can’t help but think these two are running the biggest con on today’s conservative party/Trump fanbase.

They’ve got so many Trump fans...and Trump himself...promoting them, raising their status. They’re doing this by playing up the worst stereotypes about black women. I feel like I’m watching Halle Berry in BAPS.

I swear, these two go home and laugh at how ridiculously gullible conservatives are these days.

What say you, C-D P&OC?
These ladies are great, they are non-conformists, and they've told the black establishment to stick it.

Long live D&S !

Because those ladies left the plantation without the left's permission.

Actually, it's Blacks, themselves, saying it.

For example:

Yes. The left thinks ALL Blacks must think, act, and vote a certain way, of which only they approve. The irony of it all is that they don't recognize how incredibly racist that is.

Okay, I watched some of the video at that link. I still don't see "perpetuating negative stereotypes" of black women, and you haven't explained how you think they're doing that. Maybe in their intro they're making black hand gestures? Speaking too loudly?


Residinghere says their grammar is terrible. Maybe that's it? Yet it's those on the left, when accused of changing their speaking style when talking to blacks, telling us that there's nothing wrong with it and the white politicians are showing camaraderie. Can't be a negative stereotype when whitey says it's okay, right?


For what it's worth, I suspect they play up the extent of their Republican-ism, and think they're probably more the average conservative than actual Republicans. If they can make a buck doing it, good for them.

That one guy? Mason? I’ve never seen him at our meetings. He’s not speaking for all “blacks.”

Good question. I'd like to see exactly what Cali Doll "thinks" are the "negative stereotypes" of Black women. Even more interesting is the framing of that "negative stereotypes of Black women" statement. Looks very much like 'someone' is a prejudiced racist.

Another example of the left's racism. Interesting...

Neither do you. Has no one ever told you that?

I was going to joke and say I was nominated to speak for all of us blacks, but I wouldn’t.

Mason doesn’t speak for all blacks; neither do I. What’s your point?
