Booker says his race is why he’s not speaking at Dem Convention

Newark Mayor Cory Booker said that it is his race, not his Meet the Press gaffe honesty that is keeping the leaders of the Democratic Party from having he speak in prime time during the Democratic National Convention in September.

From The Star Ledger:

He has no speaking role at the Democratic National Convention next month in Charlotte, N.C., but that’s understandable, according to Booker:

“The polite way to say why I didn’t have expectations is that I’m an African-American, northeastern Democrat in a safe state. Maybe if I was a Latino from Nevada or San Antonio.”

    But the REAL truth is that it is the Democraps who have been keeping the Black Community in chains and on the plantation all of these years, dependent on government

    Just another in the long line of “new lows'” from the Thug Campaign.

    I am so sick of inept crybabies like Cory Booker whining about race every time they don’t get their way. Maybe they didn’t invite him for the simple reason that he has been a complete and utter failure as mayor.

    On one had I would like to think that Booker was trying to make a joke out of the situation but on the other hand he needs to be smart enough to realize that some people might not take his words that way (can’t blame them either) and believe he is saying he is being discriminated against because of his race.

    Sorry Booker, they have their “clean, fresh, articulate” Hispanis–the dims already have the Black vote so you are useless in the dim party of identity politics—put both hands in your pocket flopsy—he meant what he said—they don’t need the brutha for votes.

    I had to read that twice because for a moment I was thinking your were talking about Biden keeping Black American’s in chains.

    “On one had I would like to think that was trying to make a joke out of the situation but on the other hand he needs to be smart enough to realize that some people might not take his words that way”

    STILL waiting for you to acknowledge what a boon Gubmint Motors was to the Unions and a BIG hit to the tax payers
