Why Conservatives Love Unqualifed Black Candidates

[bobloblaw]

Going back to 2000, there has been a phenomenon of conservatives supporting unqualified blacks candidates in GOP primaries.

Keyes, Cain and now Carson. Though Carson is far more serious than the first two. This also extends to down ticket races such as EW Jackson in VA two years ago.


I know the reason for this, but do others think is the reason for this phenomenon?

Hint: it isnt racism but is race related.

To "prove they're not racist" and to "stick it to the libs".

No

To "prove they're not racist" and to "stick it to the libs".

It probably goes a bit deeper than this.  When White GOP voters hear a Black messenger delivering their agenda, it validates the common belief in Republican circles that a majority of racial minorities are victims of the Democratic welfare state. 

Closer

Here is the reason.

Black conservatives are a minority within a minority group. Thus they have nothing to lose by speaking their minds. All of the previously mentioned black candidates were extremely outspoken. There is a large segment of conservatives who are starved for someone to just speak their minds, be fearless and not cater to the PC media. Also black conservatives tend to be extremely socially conservative and make all sorts of inflamatory remarks about abortions and gays. The reason conservatives liked Palin was similar.

The Right loves unqualified candidates period, not just unqualified black ones.  Many trace the genesis of this to Sarah Palin, but I think it actually goes back to Dan Quayle.  Donald Trump, Christine O'Donnell, Todd Akin, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry are not black.

And Dr. Carson is a horrible presidential candidate.  Just the fact alone that he publicly said he wants to abolish Medicare and Medicaid shows a level of stupidity, both politically and as a matter of policy, which should automatically remove him from contention.  The GOP "establishment" knows this is a general election deal breaker, but apparently the base is too lost in a Fox News fantasia to see reality.

The Castro brothers are constantly mentioned as VP candidates. Hard to find anyone more unqualified.

Dan Quayle was a sitting US Senator for 8 years. He faced and won re-election in 1986, a good Dem year. The others were all elected officials except O'Donnell. Rick Perry was certainly qualified. He just had bad views on immigration

I don't think EW Jackson would have ever won the LT. Governor Nomination in a Republican Primary. He won in a brokered convention.

Precisely my point. In a primary he would have faced all sorts of voters. At a convention, he was picked by the activists in the GOP

Vice President Quayle looked sooo "intelligent" when an elementary school student correctly spelled "potato" on the blackboard and Quayle corrected him and said he needed an "e" on the end for "potatoe."  Pretty funny that an elementary school student could spell better than the Vice President.  You can watch the video.

As for Rick Perry, a presidential candidate who cannot remember three things is not qualified.

Or who thinks that there are 57 states.

Racism.

Can you name a national black conservative running for office who hasn't used the word "plantation"?  Racist white people love black buffoons who give them cover to say outrageous things without being called racist.

Nope, youre wrong. I said the reason why. It isnt racism, but it is race related.

It's racism, man.  Seriously name a single black conservative running for office that hasn't said the word "plantation" in a speech, interview, or book.  Racists whites love hiding behind a black man that says stuff like that.

There is a white liberal plantation that attacks any black that dares speak against it.
