    The thing about being black is that we're looked at weird the second we don't hop on the liberal train.
    I was talking to my brother about this black Conservative named Thomas Sowell, and how he says we should address black issues and his response was "we shouldn't blame black people for what has happened to us."
    The fun part about coming not coming as far left as the rest is that I can't be accused of being white and privileged( Never believed in white privileged), but people find their way.
    Even though Kanye can be crazy as hell but he and others have inspired me.

It does leave a sour taste if people use his support of Trump as evidence for this, though.
      One can see why he would identify with Trump.

        Literally, yes. In actuality, the "mainstream" media has been carrying the Left's water since well before my time.
        The right wing, in an attempt to move the country further right, made a strategic decision to attack the center rather than the left. It's good math. If you want to move the average to one side, strip the other from the sum.

        But it's not honest.

          Is the sample random, or carefully selected. Do the leader of the party and prominent congressional leaders agree. Which of your anecdotes was supposed to be representative of the opposition.

              There are very few things in the American political landscape with a smaller payoff than supporting Donald Trump. Ask Flynn. Or even defending him. Ask Cohen.

              Better to ask the Republican party.

                For me it was behind a paywall (something WaPo must have recently started) and I hate when someone else links to something that isn't readily accessible.

                You have petulantly made unsubstantiated claims of plagiarism when you've been busted and that you utterly refused to back up -- even though I provided a long list of the exact sources that I used (like while discussing Islam and where you also didn't know the difference between an ayat and a surah while accusing me of being the one who was confused).

                Your google-fu skills must suck since it was literally the first link I checked after typing Slate, West, Alt-Right into the search field.

                I don't think his show is syndicated so it would be hard for me to pick it up. As for you're gripping about the footnote...

                Seems like in the second one that she had the New York Times specifically in mind.

                                I was impressed that in Thomas Sowell, he cited an entirely readable black conservative source, but not so impressed that he compared Kanye favorably to him.
