The one demographic that liberals hate more than white conservatives are black conservatives, whom they attack by calling them "Uncle Tom," or "Token blacks" or "Coons" for daring to speak out and promote an ideology to which liberals do not agree with.

Today such an assignment might be deemed oppressive, if not racist. [Full article]
