Politics: Conservatism Is Not Racism

Source: PJ Media Do black people owe their votes to progressives? Well based on what happened to former NFL player Burgess Owens when he spoke at Hobart and William Smith Colleges some sure seem to think so. You see Owens isnt the kind of guy that pretends America hates minorities. In fact he routinely speaks about leadership and the opportunities open to everyone in this country. During his prepared remarks no one interrupted. During the question and answer period Owens was accused of speaking against his own people as noted by Campus Reform. A student asked Owens for his name. After Owens replied the student said she thought it was Tom. In the case of someone like Owens its pretty clear she meant Uncle Tom. That was just the tip of the iceberg. The crowd went on to heckle and shout down Owens answers. The problem is clear. Minorities arent actually treated as individuals by progressives. For all their high-minded talk they view minorities as belonging on the plantation. at PJMedia
