(Steve Watson) In the wake of Winsome Sears becoming the first black Lt. Governor of Virginia, critical race theory peddling leftists have had to shift their narrative, with two academics in particular arguing that conservatives who vote for black candidates are still racist.

In an op ed published by ABC News, Stanford University Assistant Professor Hakeem Jefferson and U Cal Professor Michael Tesle suggest that white conservatives only vote for black Republican candidates when it suits their partisan agenda.
The pair wrote that “supporting a Black candidate hardly precludes voters from harboring racist beliefs and motivations.”
“Republicans are increasingly more likely than Democrats to hold prejudiced views of minorities, so Black Republicans like Sears often draw especially strong support from [W]hite Americans with otherwise anti-Black views simply because they draw most of their support from Republican voters,” the piece continues.
The pair claim that “Sears’s conservative politics don’t threaten the racial hierarchy, and her candidacy provides cover for a party that’s often antagonistic to racial minorities. For racially prejudiced [W]hites, the real question is what is there not to love about Black politicians like Sears?”
It continues, “To make sense of why racially prejudiced [W]hite Americans are willing to support some Black candidates, it is worth considering why they so strongly oppose Black Democrats in the first place,” adding “Racially prejudiced [W]hite voters are not opposed to Black candidates simply because they are Black, but because they believe that most Black candidates will fight for ‘those people’ and not ‘people like us.’”
The two also pointed to former presidential candidate Ben Carlson, claiming that his support among conservatives again doesn’t mean those people are not racist.
“For many white GOP voters, anti-Black views don’t seem to get in the way of supporting a Black Republican,” they claim.
The backlash was swift:
Media: “Look, if you don’t support Kamala Harris you’re a racist.”
Also Media: “Look, if you support black candidates you’re a racist.” https://t.co/66jYqH69w2

What could be more racist than the elite media questioning the achievements and success of a minority woman to fit their narrative? https://t.co/gCm4RXGS7z

And this is where they give away the game. According to the authors, being racist isn’t about prejudice against a specific race, but about being hostile to particular views and policies which the authors define as good. So supporting Republicans is always racist to them. pic.twitter.com/egHvalFFmi

Yeah probably should've voted for the white AG who wore blackface instead of the Hispanic Republican too https://t.co/ve8GT8c54s

Its extremely important that you believe anyone who disagrees with me politically is motivated solely by racism. https://t.co/MGnnTb2u2o

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

Racism: thoughts or actions derived from expectations based solely on race (in most cases skin color.)
Tell me one more time what all “white” people do…? 🤔✅

Who cares what some weird Ca. professors think?? What matters is what the black conservatives think.
