(ThyBlackMan.com) Can you imagine Don Jr., Ivanka, or Eric Trump travelling to DC and staying at a Hilton Hotel when there is a Trump Hotel in the city? What would happen if a Trump employee spent thousands of dollars staying at non-Trump properties all over the world when they had a Trump Hotel at their disposal?
Of course, they probably would be immediately terminated from their job.
Can you imagine a white staffer for Trump or Pence saying they have arranged for the CEO of Planned Parenthood to be invited to the White House or a phone call along with the Susan B. Anthony List?
Planned Parenthood, dubbed by me as Murder Inc., is the preeminent radical pro-abortion group in the U.S.; and the Susan B. Anthony List is the preeminent pro-life group in the U.S.
A staffer making this type of idiotic suggestion would be fired from their position in the White House and quickly escorted out of the building permanently!
And yet, white Republicans constantly promote radical liberal organizations like the N.A.A.C.P., the National Urban League, the Congressional Black Caucus, etc. and ignore Black conservative groups and individuals.
What do all these radical Black groups have in common?
They all are huge supporters of Planned Parenthood, thus actively promote the abortion industry; they support amnesty for those in the country illegally, even though the Black community is most negatively impacted by illegal immigration; they actively support and promote the radical homosexual and transsexual agenda; and finally, they vehemently oppose the Republican Party and the issues for which we promote.
So, I was not surprised when I jumped on a White House phone call last week with over 400 Blacks to hear the administration discuss the coronavirus and its impact on the Black community and heard party leaders acknowledging their opponents in very favorable terms.
Having these radical groups on the call was very appropriate because they do have a following, but they don’t in any wise represent the Black community, they represent their membership. Big difference!
But what was and is inappropriate was for Vice President Pence to read from a memo praising these very groups that have never missed an opportunity to call this administration and anyone who works for them racists, homophobic, xenophobic, etc.
Pence did not mention one Black Republican or one Black conservative organization; many of which were on the very phone call! How in the hell was that even possible?
This is what happens when you hire weak Black staffers who have no connection to the very community they “claim” to come from and represent.
They all should be fired IMMEDIATELY!!! And if they had nothing to do with the VP’s remarks, then they should have immediately resigned!
I have worked around three Republican presidents in my lifetime: Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43. In all likelihood, Pence did not write the memo he was given to read from. Black staffers probably put the memo together for the VP to read.
These Black Republicans in the White House think so little of their fellow Black Republicans that they never even thought to single out any Black Republican individuals or organizations for Pence to acknowledge.
As if this wasn’t bad enough, during the president’s daily coronavirus press conference later that day, Pence and Jerome Adams, the U.S. Surgeon General and a Black Republican did the same thing.
Pence, again, lavished praise on the N.A.A.C.P. and Adams bragged about having talked to Derrick Johnson, head of the N.A.A.C.P, three times that week. How many “real” Black conservatives did Adams talk to last week? And how many has he acknowledged publicly?
This administration spends more time meeting with radical Black liberal organizations than they do “real” Black conservative organizations because they are obsessively terrified at the thought of one of these radical liberal groups playing the race card; so the party does illogical things thinking this will insulate them from being called a racist.
This is nothing short of political incompetence.
White staffers from the White House I discussed this with were appalled at this egregious oversight of Black Republicans. I am still waiting on the Black staffers to return my call. I am not holding my breath.
The insulting thing is that these Black staffers didn’t do it on purpose, which could be easy to forgive; they never even thought about giving a shout out to their fellow “real” Black Republicans; this is truly unforgiveable!
There are two Black physicians who are actually part of the RNC, Ada Fisher and Robin Armstrong. Fisher has strong ties to the HBCU community, being a graduate of one. Wouldn’t you want to seek them out for participation with their medical backgrounds? Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
When these weak Black staffers, including the surgeon general, get in some type of trouble, they will run to their fellow “real” Black Republicans and expect us to defend them and come to their rescue. They will learn the hard way that all these radical Black liberal groups that they have been showing love to will be nowhere to be found.
These staffers have absolutely NO relationship with people like Bob Brown, Bob Woodson, Harold Doley, Jr., Herman Cain, Kay James or Buster Soaries, the party’s original gangsters (OGs); the young gangsters (YGs) like Jennifer Carroll, Boyd Rutherford, Wyoming state senator, Lynn Hutchings, Curtis Hill, Indiana attorney general.
In the 2016 elections, Hill received more votes than any statewide candidate in the history of Indiana. Yes, a Black Republican holds the state record for most votes. He received more votes than our current Vice President and former Indiana governor, Mike Pence.
If you don’t know who these people are, maybe its time for you to find another party because you do more damage to the cause of “real” Black Republicans than any radical liberal could ever dream of.

First, I want to emphasize that I am no party affiliated (aka : NPA). Don’t know how you will view the spirit of my comments…but please keep in mind that I am somehow on your email list (I didn’t request an invitation, but have not unsubscribed) and I am NPA.
I disagree with the Title of your article. The Black Republicans Categorized as “weak” by you are just behaving the way the modern day Republicans are expected to act if they are to be “true” modern day republicans! Those who determined What “true” Republicans are have already spoken…based upon their behavior toward Black folks since before the time I was born until they elected “good guys on both sides”, the Exonerated 5 (Central Park 5) are “…still guilty of something” Donald J. Trump as the President of this Nation. The Republican party has been owned-and controlled by groups of Whites that fall into 2 categories by the time of the Ronald Reagan era: 1. Those who could care less about Black people (relative to non-Black people) 2. The Racists Whites who joined the Republican party when the party, Under the Atwater/Southern Strategy, in resentment of the Civil rights movement.
I suppose I could go into all the evidence and site sources for this evidence, proving the iterations by which the Republican Party, like the “Ole Democrat” party became dominated by anti-Black racists. However, there is so much “self-evident” proof to look at, and I can tell by the articles I’ve received from you over the last several months, that you are well read, and therefore capable of finding the basics of this whitin a few minutes. Since I owe no allegiance to any political party, I hope you will give me enough benefit of the doubt to assume that I don’t have much faith in the Democrats, know their racists past (and present), but also know that now we have 2 parties that really don’t care about us. …although I personally feel one party is more openly racist and hateful against Black people now than in the past.
Additionally, the brief description of you and your PAC’s purpose, at the end of many of your posts, state that your goal is to get more Black folks into the Republican Party. The articles I’ve read from you, when discussing White Republicans, are designed (in my opinion) to show them how to convince more Black Americans to be Republicans, in spite of their apathy towards Black Americans, at best…and their outright hostility toward us at worst.
But just to mention some reasons I say this: having racist Steve Bannon as an advisor of his, racist policies of Jeff Sessions, racists policies of Wiliam Barr, consultation from White supremacists “conservative” news media to attack his political opponents, appointment of Racist Rudy Guillani as a liar/lawyer of his, both he and Guilliani agreeing with Democract (who was 1st republican) Bloomberg’s “stop and Frisk” a Black person, outright proven LIES about “voter fraud” made by the same Alex Jones style “conservative” media, outright voter suppression,…etc. etc., etc.
In general, Black Republicans don’t like to mention the facts in the paragraph above, but will deflect and distract by bringing up racism of the Democrats, “Black on-Black Crime” (though White-on-White crime is almost as bad), or any other distraction that proves that their highest priority is their party…not the needs of Black folks.
So here’s what I propose…which is nothing new from what other Black folks propose: Loyalty to the needs of the Black American community should take priority over loyalty to any of the political parties in America…without exception…and without apology…period. Black Americans can pick real “grassroots” issues, organize them into 10, 20, or whatever number of demands, and present these as a litmus test to whomever is running or wants to run for office, or whomever else is in political “power” or hopes to obtain it!
I can see the backlash by some of your readers now: “You want a Black political party that won’t work in America’s politics”…or…”What about abortion”, or ‘he’s a liberal”.
To me, though…that just lets me know where their priorities are.
peace.
Another home run! Raynard, you remain and continue to be our Beacon of Hope from the lighthouse of Truth. We are trying to navigate our way in a sea of ignorance and apathy. Our crew members are aging and thining out.
How about considering a blog or a collective bugle that will allow us to bring forward the tenants of history that is needed now?
President Lincoln had Frederick Douglass; President Nixon had Arthur Fletcher; President Trump
has ……….?
I completely agree. When Black Republicans have been really responsible for programs that really helped the community. The largest expansion of the minority business development program was under Republican Administrations.
