Andrew Sullivan and Charles Johnson note that John Derbyshire is back discussing conservatives and the semantics of the term "white supremacist"

After looking at that photograph, there ain't too many raisins in that bun either!

John Derbyshire is sick with cancer and is writing about his own view points.  Andrew Sullivan posted about this Derbyshire article in V Dare.  Of course the Midnight Racist blog poster Charles Johnson is all over it too.  Derbyshire is trying to get attention by being deliberately provocative.  Of course the point of all of this is to try to paint all conservatives, Republicans, and basically anyone not in full support of the liberal progressive agenda as knuckle dragging racists.  Derbyshire writes:

Always has been, always will be. I have attended at least a hundred conservative gatherings, conferences, cruises, and jamborees: let me tell you, there ain't too many raisins in that bun. I was in and out of the National Review offices for twelve years, and the only black person I saw there, other than when Herman Cain came calling, was Alex, the guy who runs the mail room. (Hey, Alex!) 

This isn't because conservatism is hostile to blacks and mestizos. Very much the contrary, especially in the case of Conservatism Inc. They fawn over the occasional nonwhite with a puppyish deference that fairly fogs the air with embarrassment. (Q: What do you call the one black guy at a gathering of 1,000 Republicans?  A: "Mr. Chairman.")

See, John Derbyshire's problem is he does not get out enough to see how the liberal half lives.  And as demonstrated above it is not too much different than his own experiences!  Of course, Derbyshire does not speak for me, since I am an orange cow (in color, not politics!).
