The right celebrates these African American conservatives for having the "courage" to "speak the truth." They are hailed for saying the things that whites can't say about black poverty because those whites are afraid of being called "racist."
But the MINUTE the shoe is on the other foot and uneducated whites are called out for being uneducated. And are called out for voting for politicians whose policies hurt them, then suddenly it's "liberal contempt"
I will agree with you. Liberals can be so self righteous, it's a thing I fight. But can we at least agree that the right celebrates self righteousness when its directed towards racial minorities and gets all huffy and pissed off when its directed towards whites?

Do you really see those three as
contemptuous or
condescending?
Also, Crosby and Steele and Thomas are very, very different from each other.
When I think of condescension, I think of the passive-aggressive "I'm so much better than you that I don't have to take you seriously as I improve your life" that is epidemic on the left.
The smug smiles and the creepy grins and the lifted eyebrows and the snide, knowing chuckles.
All the while stealing money from the unwashed masses for the government.
Ugh......
