There’s nothing like a smug, self-assured liberal proclaiming her intellectual superiority to bring out the ingenious and hilarious side of conservative Twitter. We at Twitchy would like to sincerely thank Joan Walsh for tweeting what started one of the snarkiest Twitter feeding frenzies in recent memory:
Said earlier: I know more than the average white person about Af-Am history, which only ensures that I know less than I think I do.

Giddy up, conservative Twitter!
Do you remember the first time a black person accused you of "talking white"? Black folk so crazy, girl. @joanwalsh
