Democrats: The Republican Party is Racist, But it Needs More Diversity | Larry Elder
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Ever notice how the Republican Party is criticized for lacking racial diversity, but black Republicans are criticized for being sellouts?
Just a little inconsistent.
Remember when the A.G. Cameron declined to bring murder charges against the three officers in connection with the death of Breonna Taylor?
Well, Tamika Mallory is co-founder of the Women's March.
She was not happy.
He mentioned at the press conference, which I thought was quite interesting, that he's a black man.
And as I laid and cried and hurt for Tamika Palmer and for Breonna Taylor and for Kenny Walker and for Janiyah, who we need to love up on, As I lay there and I thought about him saying he's a black man, I thought about the ships that went into Fort Monroe and Jamestown with our people on them over 400 years ago.
And how there were also black men on those ships that were responsible for bringing our people over here.
Slave ships?
Because he rendered a decision she didn't like?
I'm in Los Angeles, and years ago, a homeless woman named Margaret Mitchell was shot and killed by two cops.
I didn't believe the shooting was valid, and I told the police chief that.
The police commission did not agree that the shooting was valid by a 3-2 vote.
The police commission was headed up by a man named John Mack.
He's a former head of the Urban League, a very respected black leader in L.A. And the police department was headed by a man named Bernie Parks, a very respected black leader in L.A. as well.
The men disagreed in good faith.
Nobody rioted.
Nobody burned anything.
People felt, okay, there was a good faith disagreement.
Can there be a good faith disagreement?
Apparently not.
Daniel Cameron is no different than the sellout Negroes that sold our people into slavery.
She said it.
And helped white men to capture our people, to abuse them and to traffic them while our women were raped, while our men were raped by savages.
Sellout Negroes?
And how did this woman ever become an LAPD sergeant?
She's retired.
Her name is Cheryl Dorsey?
I'm not surprised.
I'm a realist, and so I deciphered all of his double speak and cold talk, and we know that this is really a non-indictment.
It has nothing to do with Breonna Taylor.
This was about Officer Brett Hankinson firing rounds into the next-door neighbor's apartment.
It had nothing to do with the murder of Breonna Taylor.
Those officers, according to the Attorney General, were justified in that use of force.
Now, I don't know how 16 shots fired by one It's justified use of force when officers are taught to fire two shots in rapid succession and then reassess the threat.
But nonetheless, that was his story and he's sticking to it.
And I found it offensive that he would call out celebrities and alleged influencers because he too says he's a black man and somehow celebrities can't speak for Kentuckians, but as a black man, he can speak for us.
And so I understand he's skin folk, not kin folk.
He doesn't speak for me.
And when Donald Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett, put out a photograph of her family, you see she has seven kids.
Two of them are black.
And here is what Alice Sharpen said about that.
That was the least diverse audience I've ever seen an announcement like this made in my life.
I looked around.
I was glad her two kids did come out because I couldn't find too many other people of color in that audience.
It was an interesting look for a moment like this in this presidency and a decision so monumental.
So if Donald Trump's administration does not have enough blacks, that's a problem, right?
One thing that you have in common with your two predecessors, both Attorney General Sessions and Attorney General Whitaker, is that when you all came here and brought your top staff, you brought no black people.
That, sir, is systematic racism.
That is exactly what John Lewis spent his life fighting.
And so I would just suggest that actions speak louder than words.
And you really should keep the name of the Honorable John Lewis out of the Department of Justice's mouth.
Listen, I have no animosity for Kanye West.
I'm just going to be honest, and I may get in a lot of trouble for it.
I actually feel bad for him.
What I saw was a minstrel show today.
Him in front of all of these white people, mostly white people, embarrassing himself and embarrassing Americans, but mostly African Americans, because every one of them is sitting either at home or with their phones watching this, cringing.
I couldn't even watch it.
I had to turn the television off because it was so hard to watch.
It was a bunch of mediocre Negroes being dragged in front of TV as a photo op for Donald Trump's exploitative campaign against black people.
This is the Romney family.
And of course, there on Governor Romney's knee is his adopted grandson, who is an African-American, adopted African-American child, Kieran Romney.
Any captions for this one?
One of these things.
Does he do the same?
That little baby, front and center, would be the one.
And isn't he the most gorgeous?
My goal is that in 2040, the biggest thing of the year will be the wedding between Kieran Romney and North West.
Can you imagine Mitt Romney and Kanye West as in love?
I think this picture is great.
It really sums up the diversity of the Republican Party.
So you're a racist administration if you don't have blacks, but if you have blacks, they're sellouts.
The President of the United States is racist.
You also might want to do some self-examination.
What does it say about you that no matter what, No matter what, you continue to make excuses for this man, for his vile behavior, this sort of vile behavior.
Doesn't that make you just as bad, if not worse, than him?
So the Trump-hating left is angry at Trump for not having diversity, but the Trump-hating left is angry at black people for joining the racist Trump administration.
Got it?
So if you join the Trump administration and you're black, you're not really black.
If you are not prepared to come to that table and to represent that voice, don't come.
Because we don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice.
We don't need black faces that don't want to be a black voice.
We don't need Muslims that don't want to be a Muslim voice.
We don't need queers that don't want to be a queer voice.
And if you're worried about being marginalized and stereotyped, please don't even show up.
Because we need you to represent that voice.
Listen, you got to come see us when you come to New York, VP Biden.
I will.
It's a long way until November.
We got more questions.
You got more questions.
But I tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black.
Unchain Wall Street.
They're going to put you all back in chains.
Now, during the George W. Bush administration, he had a black staffer.
The black staffer got busted for theft.
And a local columnist in Los Angeles named Erin Aubrey Kaplan was not the least bit sympathetic.
Here's what she wrote.
I don't support conservatism in its current iteration, and I support black conservatives even less.
But we cannot ignore the racial implications of this latest Republican fall from grace.
Here is a man who, like most black conservatives, has had to do an awful lot of personal and political rationalizing to pay dues.
That has unfortunately, but not always unfairly, invited comparisons to slave times, when the most loyal blacks were those who worked in the closest proximity to their white masters, house Negroes, as they were derisively known.
It's hard to imagine that such compromises and cognitive dissonance don't exact a psychological toll at some point.
And Allen's alleged dabbling in crime might have been that point for him, end of quote.
So if you are a black Republican conservative, by definition, you're crazy.
And check out what this Baltimore Sun columnist wrote.
By all standards, some creatures are just plain strange, making us do double takes because their compositions or habits or appearances defy our sense of logic and our way of viewing reality.
Take the wildebeest, the warthog, the hyena, the brown pelican, the Shar-Pei, These animals seemingly wrought by committee make us laugh or shake our heads.
Another such creature of the humankind, and perhaps the strangest of all, is the black Republicans.
Black Republicans fail to understand that few white Republicans will accept them as equals.
Although they will not acknowledge the truth, most white Republicans, like most other whites, view black Republicans as strange creatures." My goodness.
Finally, do you remember this scene?
You think you're there?
Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while that you shouldn't have f***ed with?
That's me.
Well, young man, meet a man after Mr.
Clint Eastwood's heart.
Say hello to somebody you shouldn't have blanked with.
I'm Larry Elder and we've got a country to save.
