When it comes to Black Republicans, nothing is more depleted than their conscience, not understanding that when their people are sold down the river, their blood is in that water, too. The question is, do they care, and what do they get out of the deal? 

The only conclusion must be that they think the breadcrumbs they receive will be sweeter. Candace Owens, Byron Donalds, Tim Scott, Ben Carson, Mark Robinson and any of the like, line their pockets by throwing Black people under the bus.

Mark Robinson is the North Carolina lieutenant governor and also currently the Republican party’s nominee for the gubernatorial race against Democrat Josh Stein. Robinson was recently exposed by CNN for posting on a website called “Nude Africa,” where he, a staunch conservative, not only mentions his predilection for porn featuring trans women but also calls himself a Black Nazi, says that slavery was a good thing, and recounts cheating on his wife with her sister. Not only is he representing the party of Christian values, but he is also disparaging Black people in the process. Sexual proclivities aside, calling for the reinstatement of slavery from a member of the party that is quick to tell you to get off the Democrat plantation is surely something. They do not realize they are the embodiment of the thing they claim to hate. An overseer cannot exist without slavery but slavery can exist without an overseer.

They do not recognize that they are no more important than the people they harm for their white overlords. 

There is no sweeter bread for the house n*gga.

The bread still contains the same amount of salt, still the same amount of bleached flour, still the same amount of watered-down ethics. 

The Irish, the Italians, the Polish, have all successfully integrated and ingratiated themselves into American culture, even after prolonged abuse and othering by proper Anglo-Saxon descendant America, they were able to overcome being disliked by the one thing they all had alike, they were white. 

There is no amount of bootlicking that will polish away Blackness.

There is no happy ending for Pecola Breedlove’s children. Purposely breeding out the Black in your children will not take away the pain of your ancestors, as most of them have white partners. Lying to themselves won’t undo nature. 

Trying to rationalize Black people who coon for Republicans is difficult in the sheer ridiculousness of the stance. As a Black person, what makes you agree that white people are demonstratively and unequivocally better than you? What would make you, not only hold that opinion, but voice it with a confidence that defies the laws of physics, how can someone stand up and say something so spineless.

While Trump was happy to praise Robinson by calling him “Martin Luther King Jr. on steroids,” Robinson himself thinks that King was a commie bastard.  The thing about going the wrong way is that there is more than one direction you can go. Somehow, these fools have convinced themselves that living under the category of “one of the good ones” is a good thing, that being one of the more tolerable of the least tolerable is a redeemable currency and characteristic.
