Talk about cliches! Talk about racial stereotypes!
Where have we heard this before? A self-made black man with a conservative bent is being considered for high public office. What’s a liberal mainstream media to do?
Play the sexual harassment card of course!
Today it was revealed by the one-percenter-George-Soros-funded Politico.com that there had been sexual harassment charges against Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain when he was president of the National Restaurant Association back in the 90’s. The whole thing had a vaguely familiar ring to it.
Then I remembered. Back in the early 90’s, when George Bush 41 nominated Clarence Thomas, coincidentally also a black conservative from Georgia, to the Supreme Court, the left-wing media and political establishment had a cow and that cow’s name was Anita Hill. She made a series of increasingly unbelievable claims of sexual harassment which ultimately no one could take seriously. Thomas was confirmed and still sits on the Supreme Court today.
The accusations in the Politico article are laughably vague, but will probably get more shrill as time goes by. For his part, Cain can only remember one of the women making a formal accusation and cannot remember ever being alone with either one. The one who made the formal charge of sexual harassment left the employ of the Restaurant Association with only a small severance payment, not a big payday of hush money.
This all just goes to show that Thomas and Cain are among a few African Americans (may their tribe increase!) who have committed the unpardonable sin of escaping the Democrat plantation, or, if you can relate to this metaphor better, they have not only refused to sit in the back of the White Guilt Democrat bus, they have gotten off the bus at the Republican bus stop!
And so they trot out the old sexual harassment charge again. Seriously? Don’t they see how that perpetuates a racial stereotype? But that’s the problem. All African Americans are two-dimensional stereotypes to white Democrats. African Americans are just a dependable, monolithic voting bloc and it’s really inconvenient when they begin to think for themselves and get out of line.
