Touré Neblett, co-host of The Cycle on MSNBC (we had to look that one up), took to Twitter to put conservatives in their place regarding Amb. Susan Rice and the criticism she has received from Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham. Touré, who recently attacked McCain and Graham as “old, white, establishment folks,” denied the existence of a race card and then accused whites of using it to intimidate African Americans.

He did get some backup.
@Toure the phrase "race card" is the way privileged people say "I'd like to deny your right to address race's impact on society".

@Toure Race Card? Really… The GOP Race Dog Whistles To Blow Horns & Evolved To High Definition Surround Sound Filled With Racial Epithets.

When conservatives countered, Touré was MIA. That didn’t stop them.
Really, @toure. You benefit financially from race-oriented problems existing. No surprise you see them everywhere.

What's more racist, @Toure? Criticizing Rice for what she told the American public, or shielding her from criticism because she's black?

I'm waiting, @Toure. Why is Susan Rice's skin color a shield from criticism, in your view? And how is that not, in itself, racist?

Weird, @Toure seems to want to only spew about issues of race, but won't answer simple questions about his rationale. Why is that, @Toure?
— RBe (@RBPundit) November 27, 2012
Please keep in mind whenever one tries to analyze @Toure's nonsense that he sees racism where it doesn't exist and he's a truther. #tcot

Apparently, when @Toure says we need to talk about race / racism, he actually means "I talk and don't have to explain myself."

Touré? Touré? Anyone there?

… said the co-host of an MSNBC show.
Update:
Touré eventually decided to address his critics … kinda.

As always, a truly convincing argument.
