Elie Mystal Calls Black GOP Candidates ‘Tokens’ Who Are ‘Shucking and Jiving for Their White Handlers’

‘I make a hard distinction between black conservatives....and these tokens’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

MYSTAL: “There are lots of things that he did to hurt the African-American community, and I’m sure that he did -- I'm sure some of the things he did helped a couple of you know, brothers here and there. Look, I make a hard distinction between black conservatives, of which are many, one of whom just was elected as mayor of New York City, in fact, and these tokens who are out here right now, shucking and jiving for their white handlers. And the way you can know the difference between a token and a person who just happens to have conservative views, is that the black conservative has an argument for why their policies will help the black community.”
