    Clarence Mason Weaver was once so filled with hatred towards white people in America, that he broke up with a girlfriend who had a white dog, the now-conservative told The Daily Caller New Foundation in this exclusive video interview.

    A formerly hate-filled, Berkeley Black Panther liberal, Weaver is a black conservative who now holds strong views on Black Lives Matter, the first black president and how America can heal its racial divide....

    ....
    Today, when asked what he thinks of the emergence of Black Lives Matter, he passionately says “it really means black lies matter.” He explains that this group believes in white superiority since they demand white society give them concessions out of guilt. Mason says, “What happened to you white folks? Where are the Vikings? You guys are cowards!”

    As to his views on the first black president, Weaver continues his bold, unique tirade with “Barack Obama hates America.”

    “His job is to divide by differences and manage our differences,” he says. “He has done nothing but drive us apart. [He] hates America.” Weaver then adds, “It doesn’t matter what color the pimp, the drug dealer, the con artist is.”

    In this 31-minute video interview, Weaver explains that God helped him realize that “anger was much heavier than a ton and a half of steel,” which altered his physical and emotional life in 1971.

    “What would happen in black America if we forgave, real or imagined, the wrongs that we have?” he asks. “As a Swahili-speaking, black history-studying, militant, Black Panther-hanging out man. As a black man, wearing my dashiki and my black beret,” he notes. “What would happen is healing, progress and success with family reunification.”

    Since he left liberalism and became so vocal, Weaver has been called all the epithets that black conservatives incur. Weaver explains why black conservatives are so maligned and hated by those he says are “running today’s plantations” with destructive liberal policies. Liberalism, he says, “destroys people, like a drug dealer, a pimp who manages you and wants to keep you down. Liberalism is slavery, always has been and always will be.”

    As for how to change other people’s minds, he warns, “some have a vested interest in staying stupid.” Those who won’t hear or listen “have the right to be stupid.”

    You keep trying the same thing and it's less effective each time. Part of the whole marginalization thing that the majority does.

    Personnaly, I tend to be in the Booker T. Washington\M.L. King camp in contrast to the W.E.B DuBois\Malcom X. Though, I gather Zaac you tend to be in the later.

    I'm in whichever camp doesn't play games with peoples' lives. Too often we act as though the weight of what one person says somehow totally discounts what 99% of the other folks are saying.

    What mitchell keeps attempting to do is something that has been done by Whites to Blacks for centuries. It's part of the game of "what I say matters because I'm superior" so obviously what you have to say doesn't matter because you're inferior.

    It's a marginalization that has been ongoing ever since we brought slaves to this country.

    I expect that both camps cited would agree that black lives matter. I cannot see Booker T. Washington saying that the lives of black folks matter. Now it is true that Washington and DuBois did not agree on the best path to follow in improving the lives of black folk. That might be an interesting thread.


    I knew he OP had to be from Rev. before I opened it. SNIP Rev. my guess is you have never read anything Dubois wrote. Am I right?
