The state party agreed to snatch African-American lieutenant-governor candidate Justin Fairfax off of a campaign flyer and to feature only the white statewide candidates. Then the party turned around and blamed Fairfax for his own removal. Proving once again that no matter how supportive black people are of them, these Democratic pols ain’t loyal.
...
The Democrat-leaning LIUNA (Laborers’ International Union of North America) desperately wants two new natural gas pipelines built in Virginia that will create jobs across the state. Northam favors the pipeline. Herring favors the pipeline. Fairfax, a staunch environmentalist, has argued that impact studies should be done before pipelines of this magnitude are built.
...
According to several Virginia campaign operatives, LIUNA has refused to distribute any flyers that have Fairfax’s image on them. The fact that the organization has given over $600,000 to the Virginia Democratic Party and the Northam campaign makes it easier for it to steamroll Fairfax.
...
Virginia Democrats agreed to freeze out the only African-American statewide candidate over one issue—and, to make matters worse, lie to reporters by stating that Team Fairfax signed off on being cut from their own party’s campaign materials.
That's the Leftists for you - they claim to be the "Big Tent" and then kick sand in the face of Bernie supporters and have the nerve to be Arrogant enough to cut out the Black Democrat that is running on the Democratic ticket.
Unbelievable .... except that at least a few of the black voters have started working out that they are nothing but Cannon Fodder to these Leftists.
It's actually not a non-issue. There is a lot of "issue" with this is black media right now. Note - your link is from a black media outlet.
Us black people we b**ch about Dems just as much as conservatives and Republicans lol. Many people though just don't pay attention to it who aren't black.

In this racial environment - it absolutely is an issue. Yes - I am aware in the deep recesses that their are problems with whites on the left... but we don't hear about it publicly as much. I have always stated that their are racists on both sides of the political aisle.
I think you can imagine the outcry if this was a right leaning campaign.
Should I have stated the the link was from a black media outlet??
Dear Lord. He was taken off the flyer because he doesn't support a huge issue LIUNA supports.Nothing to do with race and if the sking color was reversed it still wouldn't be about race. I get it though when you play the race card over and over again when iit doesn't exist people can be led astray easier.

But because the shoe is on the left foot, it's an environmental issue.
Your own link says it is an environmental issue.
This is the definition of race baiting. Your own supposed evidence specifically lays out the reasoning and you dont seem to be disagreeing . Your only argument seems to be how it "should" be covered to shame the party.

The right drops Black conservatives when ever they "get out of line". Look how Will Hurd, Mia Love, and Tim Scott were ignored, but David Clarke was held up when race issues are talked about.

They weren't ignored. That's just another thing you've made up.
I was looking through my old threads for something and ran across this.
Puts a different look on the blackface scandal that came later...
