Darron Smith, a Huffington Post Editor with a Ph.D in Education (Are you impressed?) is a SJW who writes for the Puffington Host and is apparently suffering from an acute case of BRDS (Black Republican Derangement Syndrome).
His derangement has led him to conclude that Mia Love … the Haitian-American Republican female elected to Congress last week… is the very embodiment of White Privilege.
“Love’s political convictions show a strong support for values that do not necessarily represent her interests as a member in any of these oppressed groups,” Smith writes. “For example, blacks are not doing well with respect to education, economics and health outcomes, while women still trail behind in salary and significant positions of power, and conservative politics are not typically known to aid these groups in such key issues. These actualities of Mia’s existence seem to be diametrically opposed to her values that are grounded in a white, male, Christian context.”
So, what he is actually saying is that white, Conservative, Christian values actually *work* in helping minorities achieve, but that blacks should categorically reject these values and continue to live in a state of dependence because the latter is more culturally authentic.
And he prattles on…
“She appears publicly unhampered by the daily grind of white racism that affects other racial minorities within the United States…”
Probably because she doesn’t obsess over her own “victimhood” like “good minorities” are supposed to.
“Mia gets to walk through the hallowed doorways of white institutions controlled by elite, powerful men. She is allowed to pass through in her black, female body with the understanding that she must not see, speak or openly advocate for anything related to race or gender — an unholy compromise. Hence, she might look black, but her politics are red. This is one way white privilege is reproduced at the legislative level of government.”
Mia Love, the embodiment of White Privilege.
I guess the white Democrat man who lost to her must have checked his privilege and lost the receipt.
Joining in the BRDS is left-wing blog Wonkette… who declare Mia Love “crazy” for believing in things like hard work and fiscal responsibility.
I put him on a Twitter list titled “racists”, which bothers most Dems to know end.
I wouldn’t hesitate to guess that he’s envious of her ability to speak without a blaccent & that’s she’s managed to integrate into mainstream society, which is white.
Realities are difficult for these kind of liberals. They make their living promoting everything that Mia Love isn’t.
The left says republicans have to change their message to fit non Asian minorities, but those that are able to achieve enough to want to pay less of their earnings in taxes get called Uncle Tom’s Oreos. You would think the left would want all people to achieve based on objective merit.
Hypocrisy, thy name is liberalism.

Like us homocons, I’ll be she experiences more overt *ism from intolerant liberals than conservatives or libertarians.
You know, black conservatives do have it harder than anyone else. Not because they are not welcome in conservative circles, but because every liberal attacks them for not fitting the lefts narrative of what it is to be black in America. Some of us realize that the American narrative starts with equality, not always practiced historically, but more so today than at any point in history. It does not start with race, religion, ect.
It’s what I’ve been saying for over ten years now:
You can be a young black female, but unless you are a liberal, you are an old white man.
I think Mia has found the prescription for having a healthy mind. She doesn’t feel oppressed or that she is part of an oppressed group. She is not a victim of life but a conquerer in life. The one trait i noticed among black conservatives, is they all exhibit a sense of freedom. But then the same may be said for white conservatives. It should not make a black conservative an oreo or an uncle or auntie Tom.
I apologize ladies and gentlemen, the blogger is EXACTLY correct:
“For example, blacks are not doing well with respect to education, economics and health outcomes, while women still trail behind in salary and significant positions of power…”. There is no valid argument against this. I’m sorry.
He fails to mention this state of the minority races and gender, et al has come under 50+ YEARS of ‘representation and championing’ by their bestest ever caring, loving, helpful… Democrats.
As black conservatives become more visible and more vocal, the message will resonate in the African American communites, attracting more to the Republican Party, or at least vote for Republican candidates. As there numbers increase in the Party, hucksters like Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will become irrelevant.
He’s got PhD in Indoctrination. What did you expect?
You notice Mia is from a new black-American family in that her parents moved here from Haiti.
Thus Mia was NOT exposed to the “We’re all victims” meme.
She got a good education.
She was not surrounded by loved ones saying she was ”acting white” for doing so.
She moved to Utah where most all the other blacks are recent immigrants and converts to LDS like she is.
My big surprise was that her opponent, a 6th generation LDS father of four, a white man who would perhaps have voted with Republicans more than Dems didn’t beat her.
It was close!
This (the 4th District in Utah) is its most liberal.
