Looks like the 'they' treat those tokens just like they treat anyone, or perhaps, for political purposes in these cases, as they treat Republicans.
Clarence Thomas? Was he bumped off without review by the McConnell Rule too?
The things some folks will do to make a certain Islimemuck Commie Kenyan a one term President, huh?
That the GOP trudged out Jindal and Steele with a "Look, we got darkies too!" immediately after the '08 election speaks of cynical motivation carried out to giddily wondrous heights. Surprised they didn't fit him with afro wig when tried passing off Jindal as a Negro for the response to Obama's first State of the Union Address. How quaint.
As for Steele, how long did that interracialated hug sess last? Still the Chair? No? He's a recurring correspondent on MSNBC because why again?
THAT'S how they reacted to him, by hiring him after his own party ditched their token when that cringe fest fizzled.
Herman Cain? The awe insiring uber creepy nitwitistani? Kid gloves on that one.
Agreed on that front then, he got special treatment despite coming close to challenging W's plunging of the GOP IQ bar , and would have been the most delightfully qualified short yellow bus denizen to to run in the Republican primaries if it wasn't for yuge genius Trump.
You got a problem with that? Good, you should. Maybe you should let your pet Negros out the kennel and treat them like individual human beings instead of specially selected Uncle Tom's with targets you sewed on their backs so you can pull them out of the bag at the paint ball gun range, and give your willfully obtuse hypocritical two dimensional racist carni barker claptrap a rest.
