After being rudely treated by Ebony editor Jamilah Lemieux, RNC staffer Raffi Williams stuck up for himself and other minority conservatives. Well, Lemieux’s supporters evidently do think black conservatives have a place in society — as long as that place is isolated and soundproof.

I guess @Raffiwilliams wanted to get his start by separating himself from the blk community. He's politicizing this. Shame.

.@Raffiwilliams wants to write a piece for @EBONYMag as part of his apology package. He can write an apology for GOP racist policies.

Wait. @Raffiwilliams is demanding an apology that he's already received? How about an apology for condoning racism from your supporters?

Tell me, @Raffiwilliams, how does it feel to be the equivalent of the photoshopped black hand of diversity on a college brochure?

Not everyone was focused on the racial component, though. For some, good old-fashioned hate was enough to do the trick:
@thewayoftheid @Raffiwilliams A rim job from Rush.

@Raffiwilliams *tucks fist under chin* Tell me, is being so full of shit something innate, or a skill you developed over time?

“@radrebellion: That fucking video is disgusting. You are NOBDOY's victim @Raffiwilliams and you weren't "attacked.” Fucking sick man

Appalling? Yes. Despicable? Absolutely. But more than anything, perhaps, it’s just plain sad.
