NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland — A panel at the Conservative Political Action Committee on Republican minority outreach exploded into controversy on Friday afternoon, after an audience member defended slavery as good for African-Americans.

The exchange occurred after an audience member from North Carolina, 30-year-old Scott Terry, asked whether Republicans could endorse races remaining separate but equal. After the presenter, K. Carl Smith of Frederick Douglass Republicans, answered by referencing a letter by Frederick Douglass forgiving his former master, the audience member said “For what? For feeding him and housing him?” Several people in the audience cheered and applauded Terry’s outburst.

After the exchange, Terry muttered under his breath, “why can’t we just have segregation?” noting the Constitution’s protections for freedom of association. Watch it:

ThinkProgress spoke with Terry, who sported a Rick Santorum sticker and attended CPAC with a friend who wore a Confederate Flag-emblazoned t-shirt, about his views after the panel. Terry maintained that white people have been “systematically disenfranchised” by federal legislation.

When asked by ThinkProgress if he’d accept a society where African-Americans were permanently subservient to whites, he said “I’d be fine with that.” He also claimed that African-Americans “should be allowed to vote in Africa,” and that “all the Tea Parties” were concerned with the same racial problems that he was.

At one point, a woman challenged him on the Republican Party’s roots, to which Terry responded, “I didn’t know the legacy of the Republican Party included women correcting men in public.”

He claimed to be a direct descendent of Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

The panel continued to be racked in controversy, as an African-American audience member repeatedly challenged the racism on display at this event. CPAC is the marquee conservative conference of the year, with speakers ranging from former Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney to Senator Marco Rubio.
 
Nothing really new here. Just further confirmation of what most of us have long known and what a few of the hopelessly hopeful will ultimately discover: post-racial America is a myth, probably invented by those who wish Affirmative Action and other remedial measures had never existed and will soon and forever end.

Calling this person a racist is too kind and pleasant word for this guy, I call them Caucasian pieces of garbage that belong in land fill rotting away. I want a person like this 30,000 feet away from me at all times.


1. Kidnapping people to work on your plantation is retarded idea. This is what Thomas Jefferson and George Washington was directly supporting. Any statements suggesting they were capitalist is false.

2. They praise the founders who I find repulsive for their good acts without talking about the heinous things they engaged in.

3. They don't have the brain capacity to associate indigenous or other racial groups with ownership rights or governance - they immediately settle the land or seize the natural resources as if it is theirs. They feel their culture and religions should be adopted by other racial group.

They would pay a German worker $50 an hour, but will pay another racial group in another country ten cent an hour to work for them. The idea of paying fair wages to minorities bothers them, they feel they should suppress wages and make all the money.

4. This is why Iran, North Korea, and other countries need to obtain nuclear weapons. The type of people these idiots elect, that will try to subjugate them to white supremacy.

How is this not some comedy troupe playing a prank on the CPAC people?
My mind is having a hard time wrapping around not only them being real and legit but the audience not booing them out of the building, literally.
 
Wow.
Dude is clearly a Black Republican but just the idea that they should outreach to ethnic minority communities is enough to bring on a shouting match.:smh:

You mean to tell me there were more members of the security force that were Black than actual paying attendees.:lol: and :smh: at the same damn time.
 
This is hilarious!! :lol:

UPDATE:

K. Carl Smith, the panelist from Fredrick Douglass Republicans, released a statement following the media storm related to the racist outburst in his panel. Astonishingly, he reserves the brunt of his criticism for the female reporter who raised objections to the comments being made in the room:

I was invited by the Tea Party Patriots to conduct a breakout session entitled: “Trump The Race Card” and share the Frederick Douglass Republican Message. In the middle of my delivery, while discussing the 1848 “Women’s Rights Convention,” I was rudely interrupted by a woman working for the Voice of Russia. She abruptly asked me: “How many black women were there?” This question was intentionally disruptive and coercive with no way of creating a positive dialogue.

In addition, a young man who wasn’t a Tea Party Patriot, made some racially insensitive comments, he said: “Blacks should be happy that the slave master gave them shelter, clothing, and food.” At the conclusion of the breakout session, I further explained to him the Frederick Douglass Republican Message which he embraced, bought a book, and we left as friends.

name one country on the planet where race or even gender or class status isn't an issue.

I don't think that was Que's point. It read to me as a rebuttal to the claim by many that we live in such a "post racial" utopia because we have a Black President (who, for the second time, lost the White vote by a healthy margin).

Thanks Bro. That was my point, precisely.

SB, thanks for this "longer version" of the video. Why??? are so many regular posters silent.

 
how would you feel if you knew Frederick Douglass was gay though? because he was...as well as WEB Dubois and the other black guy........he didn't have the "ass" in his name for nothing but his love for ass, particularly mens. I'm just saying. He WAS a homo
