Safe Negro

I thought terms like “colored people” and “negro” were considered derogatory to blacks.

And yet we “still” have organizations called “The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People” and the “United Negro College Fund.“

Joy Williams, the Brooklyn “head” of the NAACP in an interview referred to Ben Carson as a “Safe Negro.”

After an uproar, she “claimed” she was referring to “what other people thought of Carson,” though she still “affirmed” that she thought he was “safe” for Republican voters.

GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson’s campaign manager Barry Bennett was “firing” back at an MSNBC guest and NAACP chapter president L. Joy Williams, who said people are supporting Carson because he is a “safe negro” for Republicans.

In other words, Williams, the head of the local “Colored Person” chapter, says Republicans are “racist” for supporting Carson and think of him as a “negro.”

“I did not call him a ‘safe negro,’” she said in an email.

“In responding to the GOP panel member’s comment about Dr. Carson criticizing the President, ‘…a Black man attacking another Black man…’, I said that he is perceived that way by some of his supporters.”

So the “Colored Person Association” chapter president said that she, as a “Colored Person Association” member, would never call a black man a “negro” and was only saying what “others” would think of him.

The “Colored Person Association” racist went on:

“That is evident even among those who are critical of my comment and sending messages to me about it. They believe Dr. Carson is ‘not like the rest of you Blacks,’ a direct quote of a message I received.”

I’m glad Joy Williams was able, as an “expert on racism,” to set the record straight.

But I don’t think a person from an organization that still calls itself “Colored Persons” in the 21st century has a good “moral” claim to be “against” racism.

I think rather than Republicans thinking of Ben Carson as a “safe negro,” it’s more likely that the lady from the “Colored Person Association” views Ben Carson as a “dangerous negro.”

Ben Carson is “dangerous” because he is a prominent, successful “black” man who in some ways “embraces” conservatism. That’s why he is a “threat” to liberal blacks, because he is showing a “road to success” that does not require “government” intervention.

It’s comical when “race-biters” like Williams from an organization that still uses “colored person” in the name accuses “others” of being “racist.”

It’s very much the “kettle calling the pot ebony.”

The “Noble” Negro

SYMPATHY

The “noble” negro will spare you if you give it everything in the safe and whatever else you have in your pockets. Also it will need your car. Don’t mind if the noble negro takes more than one sucker!
