Entertainment

Former TV ‘Top Model’ Judge Goes on Race-Based Allen West Rant: ‘You Are an Embarassment to Blacks’

Top Model Judge, Vogue Editor Andre Leon Talley Tweets Racist Allen West Messages

Former Vogue editor and “America’s Next Top Model” judge Andre Leon Talley went on a scathing, race-based rant against former Florida Congressman Allen West Tuesday morning, saying he is “an embarrassment to blacks” and that his mother “must be ashamed” of him.

“Coon Minstrely Theatre!” Talley wrote, adding that West’s “barks” are “sad.”

West conceded his House race Monday after weeks of recounts, in one of the most hotly-contested and expensive races in the country.

Here is a screen shot of Talley’s tweets, via Talley’s verified Twitter account:

The fashion guru appears to have an interest in politics, and wrote that he was “crying alone” in his bedroom after Obama won earlier this month, presumably out of joy.

“We have won…” Talley wrote on Twitter. “I can go out and face my future.”

And this is not the first time Talley has tweeted about West. On November 10, when West’s Florida race was still being contested, Talley told him to “walk quietly into the sunset instead of being a bully who lacks the grace of a black man, who is defeated.”

He also told West to start “filing” (his spelling) in for Fox, after saying that “even” Republican John Boehner would laugh at the idea of Paul Ryan being on television:

A number of prominent elected officials in Washington have been crying “racism” in recent days over Republican objections to Ambassador Susan Rice’s potential nomination as Secretary of State. They allege that her detractors use unacceptable racist “code words” when discussing her job history and qualifications.

Allen West is the most recent black Republican to suffer a barrage of actual racist words from his critics on the Left.

Its funny to see how many conservative minded people support Col Allen West because of his credentials. It has nothing to do with the color of his skin, yet they continue to call us racist as they spew this racist hateful rhetoric in the same breath. Amazing how blatantly obvious there negative agenda is and the MSM wont call them on it. They pander right into and for the most part, they join in.

  And to top it off, they make claims that the republican caucus is now whiter than before as they spend millions to keep patriots like Allen West out of Congress. Absolutey mind blowing.

  West was first black in a while that won’t let whites or blacks lead him around with a ring thru the nose. The Democratic party has been giving little things to blacks to keep them in line for 45 years. e Jackson ran for president. The party bought him off and use him with The Rev. al Sharpton to stab their own race in the back for $$$$$$. Both watched on the sidelines when the Dems raped Herman Cain, one of their own but he had a R behind his name.

  The progressives cannot allow a minority of Allen West’s character to be allowed to be a positive example for some unsuspecting young person. God forbid. That unsuspecting young person may step off the “government plantation” and make a good life for themselves.

  That’s because to liberals, you can’t really be black unless you’re either a helpless slave to government handouts or a liberal who helps keep other black people enslaved. Have the audacity to think for yourself and disagree with the culture of slavery? You’re nothing but a dark-skinned *******!
  
  Everything is about race to liberals because it’s a weapon that has brought them unimaginable success.

  Really ?
  Tell me,
  if you are fighting for your life in a foxhole,
  do you want to look over your shoulder to see
  Col. Allen West or “Queenie” Andre Leon Talley ?
  
  Case CLOSED!
  
  BTW,
  Allen West is more prolific in America & World History
  than Talley, Oblameo & Oprey-Doprey combined.
  
  No matter the color of skin-
  ANY parent would be proud to have a child
  aspire to be like West.
  
  Talley is an embarrassing, ignorant clown-
  “Queenie” seems to have a lot in common with his Boy-King !
  Guess…one truly does identify with whom he votes.

  Why would a Black man find an extremely well educated, intelligent, successful Black man to be an embarrassment? I guess I am just naive, because it does not make common sense to me.

  Blacks are an embarressment all their own. Ignorants and just plain dumb. If they knew their own history, of the democractic party. That alone makes them unworthy of any consideration.

  The black community is so racist and they march in lockstep like some commies in North Korea. If you think outside like a Democratic zombie (like Allen West) then you are pounced on like a pack of wolves. No freedom of thought in the Democratic Party. It’s all communism.

Oh contrare, Talley is an embarrassment to any thinking person, his race, and, in fact, the human race. West is a genuine hero who, had the voters been awake, would have won in a landslide. Get a real job Talley!

The idiot should take a trip to Africa and look at the wonderful results achieved by the voting public there. Then he could come back and weep bitter tears that we have started down that road ourselves. Pretty soon we’ll be killing and eating each other here, too. What a shame. We all got along pretty good until the Obamas came to town.

  I used to think that, but since Obama came along, I am beginning to think the black people were just holding back and not telling us how they REALLY felt, like they are doing now.
  Voting for a man, twice, just because of the color of his skin. And here, I thought the black Americans had advanced their thinking, but they just weren’t telling whitey what they really thought of him.

  @anonymous, the sad part is not the blacks who voted for Obama, they don’t know any better.
  It is the whites, especially so called educated whites, who put him in power again. Next time you are following a car with an Obama sticker on it, take a look at who is driving it, you may be shocked to see your Mother or Grandmother.

Black America has some serious issues with race. They just can’t get over it! Either that, or they don’t want to get over it. It’s some sort of security blanket.

When he said “we have won”, was he reffering to america or blacks? Certainly america has not won.
How is it the black community can say such racist things and everyone turns a blind eye to it but when you point out the limitations of an affirmitive action appointee, everyone gets upset?

OK, lets see…. Col. West is a patriot. Col.West served his country with honor and is a hero. Col. West believes in earning what you have, as in hard work, personal responsibility, and setting goals. Col. West is articulate and does not require a teleprompter, He is also extremely smart, knows history, and is very decisive.

Yes, I can see how racist blacks would be embarrassed. They can’t come close to being the man Col. West is!

  Andre is correct, the blacks that aren’t an embarrassment are the mobs that make a run on Walmart, the ones that live off government welfare for generations, or how about the ones that get women pregnant and bail, yep those are the face of the American black.
  
  God forbid someone try to make something of themselves outside the help of the “Reverends” Sharpton and Jackson, now there is someone to aspire to be. (huge amount of sarc)
