Well, time and posts are short today, so, I thought I’d elucidate and comment on some typical leftarded hate, ignorance and racism demonstrated, and continuing to be demonstrated by Ebony.
The man pictured above is Raffi Williams. Anyone with an ounce of political awareness knows that’s Juan Williams’ son. Raffi is the Deputy Press Secretary of the Republican National Committee (RNC). I’m sure it makes for great holiday conversation in the Williams’ homes.
As you may have heard, Raffi tried to engage a senior Ebony editor on Twitter. The impetus was because the idiot editor was babbling about crap she knew nothing about and stated she didn’t want to know what she did.
Jamilah Lemieux ✔ @JamilahLemieux
(Yes, Ben Carson is launching a Black conservative magazine with Armstrong Williams. I have drinking games in mind already.)
Nice. But, it gets even dumber. In response to a person about this she has this to Tweet ….
@BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson @Raffiwilliams @hugheynewsome I 100% do not want to know more, I wish I knew less!
Isn’t that nice? A senior editor of Ebony wants to know less about a magazine put out by Armstrong Williams and Carson. The last time I heard A Williams was on the radio. Great mind, great perspective.
That’s when Raffi tried to engage ….
@JamilahLemieux wish you knew less? hoped you would encourage diversity of thought. @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson
Raffi Williams @RaffiwilliamsTo which, the intentionally ignorant and hateful bitch replies …..
@Raffiwilliams @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson Oh great, here comes a White dude telling me how to do this Black thing. Pass.
This, of course, confuses Raffi …..
@JamilahLemieux who are you refering to as white… Armstrong and Carson are black @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson
Willfully ignorant bitch responds ….
@Raffiwilliams @BETpolitichick @SistahScholar @orlandowatson YOU. Now, leave, I have no interest in this conversation.
In the end, we saw this loser eat crow and half-ass apologize …
@Raffiwilliams I was looking at your avi without blowing it up. I apologize for that. However, I care about NOTHING you have to say.
So, she’s sorry she mistook a black guy for a white guy, but, still remains stubbornly and willfully ignorant.
RNC gets involved and Ebony produces a seemingly more sincere apology.
[E]BONY founder John H. Johnson once said that he created EBONY magazine with the intention to affirm a certain sense of “somebodiness” for African Americans. Nearly 70 years ago the magazine began on the principle that, as Black people, we are all somebody—we all count.
Yesterday, the spirit of this mission was disregarded by EBONY.com Senior Editor Jamilah Lemieux in a personal Twitter exchange between herself and RNC Deputy Press Secretary Raffi Williams. In part of the exchange, Lemieux responded to an attempt at discourse from Williams with words that curtly dismissed him and his suggestion that she be interested in the “diversity of thought.” She also misidentified him, unintentionally, as White. Williams is Black.
EBONY strongly believes in the marketplace of ideas. As the magazine of record for the African American community, Lemieux’s tweets in question do not represent our journalistic standard, tradition or practice of celebrating diverse Black thought.
In a letter to EBONY from RNC President Reince Priebus, he suggests, “that we can use this unfortunate episode as a catalyst for greater understanding between the Republican Party and the black community.”
EBONY acknowledges Senior Editor Jamilah Lemieux’s lack of judgment on her personal Twitter account and apologizes to Raffi Williams and the Black Republican community.
You know, all of this is grand, great, and good. Now, Raffi, and team Ebony, and the Black Repubs can all have a group hug, sans Jamilah, because she’s still not interested in diversity of thought or exchanging such. But, minus Jamilah, we can have Smurfy feelings towards everyone!!! …… Except those White dudes.
So, if I’m following this correctly, and correct me if I’m wrong. Ebony editor doesn’t care about diverse thoughts….. that’s no big deal. That describes all leftards in the world. In fact, that’s one of their defining points. (One can lean left and not be a leftard, but, the condition is only temporary.) But, Raffi’s comment was dismissed out of hand simply because he was mistaken? for a “White dude”. She makes it explicitly clear that she believes he’s White, and therefore, has no interest in pursuing any conversation with him. Indeed, upon discovery that Raffi is a Black “dude”, she feels compelled to offer the half-ass apology. She doesn’t apologize for her dismissiveness, but, apologizes for mistaking him for being White. Ebony offers a more sincere apology.
It’s interesting, and bizarre. Personally, I don’t identify with a race. I drill down much further than that. I identify with my kin, regardless of their heritage. However, because of the constant bombardment of racial this and that, I’m forced to consider race. This pisses me off to no end. Our president’s heritage is well-known. He’s what people used to call a Mulatto. For some reason, the word has fell out of usage. But, Zero is half White and half Black. I don’t know about Raffi, but, Zero have more “Black” in him than Raffi. As for me, depending upon the time of the year and how much sun I’ve had, people mistake me for various ethnicities. Typically, though, people often identify me as White …. whatever floats their boat. Now then, Juan Williams is Panamanian, which would put him more as Hispanic, right? Doesn’t that at least diminish Raffi’s view somewhat? I mean, surely, if a “White dude” can’t speak to Mzzzzzz Lemieux about diversity of thought, surely someone with Hispanic blood, and thus some of that evilll European Whiteness running amok through their veins, surely, that would lower the weight of his thoughts, too, right? I mean, really!!! Mistaking someone for being White? Apologize immediately!!!!! You can’t hate on Blacks even if you think they might be White!!!!! But, Mzzzz Lemieux probably reacted that way because so many White people think they can actually discuss diversity of thought, when everyone knows they’re not really allowed to do so, amirite? And, they certainly can’t discuss it with Black folk, that’s just … well, unacceptable!!! Black and White people exchanging thoughts and stuff and the next thing you know, they’ll be having babies and stuff together … then we’ll end up with lunatics like president Zero!!!! …… oh, wait
People like the willfully ignorant racist bitch Mzzzzz Lemieux disgust me to no end. There is only one race where it is deemed acceptable to insult, and it comes from the people who cry racism most often. The hate and hypocrisy is overwhelming.
You know, there are still Klan clowns and Neo-Nazis and the like out there, but, they’re relegated to the fringe, where they should be. I suppose the world will never entirely be rid of people who hate others simply because of their skin color. So, to the fringe they should go. But, why do we only relegate White racists to the fringe? Do people not see that if we coddle other racists that it only serves to incite and cause more racism in response?
For me, this madness has gone beyond heartbreaking. It’s time, it’s past time, that we send all racists to where they belong. I’m sick of the constant division. I’m sick of the hate. I’m sick of the hypocrisy. It’s time to call the racists out. It’s time to put the racist organizations down like the mad dogs they are. We’re better than this as a people and the people of our nation deserve better than this.
suyts space 
well dang it…..as I was reading, I would think of something to say/add……then you would say it in the next paragraph or sentence
WELL SAID!
Thanks …. It’s funny, when I write posts like this often a “regular” comes to mind as I write it. In more than a few of those lines, you sprang to mind. It’s not something I do, it just happens, but, it helps me write.
LOL….you’re evil twin!
You know me too well…..
you do that twitchy thing…so you’ll like this one

I need to write a post on Zerocare, but, what I have in mind would require a lot of time given my vision probs.
Conservatives need to start claiming victory over Zerocare. I believe we’re up to 29 major different provisions of the law which have been delayed. This tells us all we need to know about the law. It sucks, the administration knows it sucks. The Dems know it sucks, they’s shown it to the people and the people know it sucks.
Someone needs to be kissing some serious conservative ass for at least delaying this catastrophe until adults can grab the reins and end this madness. We were right, they were wrong on every major issue. The delays are an admission of their failure. We’ve caused the sparing of millions of people from the misery of Zerocare. We don’t need to be opposing it anymore, we need to be claiming victory over it, and Zero’s signature law.
I honestly think the republicans are in bed with the democrats….about just about everything
Get ER done! James, either do it, or don’t do it……. You know!!! Don’t pretend like the leftards does and make up BS.
I think we’re unfortunately seeing that these roaches (Lemieux & Klan-types) are fringe in anonymity only. The exposed racism is just the tip of the iceberg.
Well I hope she never has to meet Robert Griffin III then. Her head would explode.
And for RGIII’s sake I hope he never has to meet her…
And Suyts, I’m with you. This stuff is senselessly divisive. We’re all equally red on the inside. I’ve happened to spend much of tonight on a similar thread elsewhere, and it is tiresome. But we have to fight it or we will all drown in tribalistic claptrap.
Reblogged this on Climate Ponderings.
Just a thought it is possible that she isn’t racist but hates conservatives. While some of her comments may appear racist on the surface it may be she just hates conservatives. I know nothing about that magazine but does it encourage diversity of thought or is it to the left or far left in the modern day?
diversity of thought is okay
it’s speaking those diverse thoughts that starts the ruckus
She said ‘white dude’, not ‘conservative dude.’ To a black dude. She defined her racism to a T.
#1 – I am politically ignorant.
#2 – I am very impressed by the official Ebony response. Their best course of action is to fire the stupid racist idiot.
#3 – I do not care what your color is, only what your ideas are. INdeed, I have no clue on the race of 50% of the commentators here, I look at what they are saying.
What’s the difference [physically] between a ‘white’ person and a ‘black’ one? Some amino acids in their hair, some modest differences in spinal curvature and lip structure, and the depth of melanin (not the amount!) in the skin. That’s it. Put the respective ova and sperm together and most of the time you’ll get a perfectly fine human baby.
cd,
Are you a member of ACS? I just received a nomination to become a member. I’m trying to figure out why they want an electrical engineer.
Jim
I used to be a very long time ago, if you mean the American Chemical Society (and a few other of these august institutions). I don’t see why you would be excluded on the basis of being an electrical engineer.
Perhaps, because I’m not into chemistry. My college years cured me of that desire.
