The GOP just cannot shake that racist label that has been attached to their platforms and their voters, and that is without a doubt their own fault. While they push a narrative that liberals simply call everything racist when they have no valid argument and proudly remind everyone that they were the party in favor of ending slavery 150 years ago, they cannot seem to get their voters or their representatives to fall in line and pretend not to be racist.

Trump’s shout out to black conservatism follows a CPAC speech in which former RNC Chairman Michael Steele, a black Republican, was taunted by the conservative organization in a speech that raised eyebrows. Honestly, though, was anyone surprised?

The same party that consistently refuses to listen to the voices of black Americans who say they experience racism on a daily basis and suffer under systemic racism in our country – they believe the majority of black Americans are just opportunistic liars incapable of correctly interpreting their own lived experience – is the same party of people who insist that Democrats are the real racists and that 80 percent of registered black voters who are Democrats are just not smart enough to know what’s really good for them.

Yet they can’t figure out why they’re considered the party of racism?

Trump may tout a fall in black unemployment as his own accomplishment although he’s passed no laws specifically addressing the needs of black communities, the truth is that black unemployment was already on a sharp decline, and everyone knows who to thank for that: the black guy who sat in the White House and infuriated Trump’s white base so badly that they voted in to the highest office in the land an inexperienced, rambling white guy who vigorously attacks any black American who dares stand up for him or herself publicly.

Now that party wants more black members, but only if they’re willing to be called out and discredited by conservative groups like CPAC.

Twitter wasn’t having this ridiculousness, either.
