āAfrican-Americans have experienced variations of the āblack friend defenseā ā saying that a person canāt be racist because of the color of the company he keeps ā for generations. And the trope played out in front of a national TV audience this week as Republican Rep. Mark Meadows defended President Donald Trump against testimony by Trumpās former lawyer, Michael Cohen , who claimed the president is racist. Meadows, of North Carolina, quickly sent social media into a frenzy when he pointed to Lynne Patton, a black Trump administration staffer, and said Patton never would tolerate working for a racist.Not only did racist Meadows use her as a prop, he would not even let her speak for herself, Hitler IS proud of that one.Atleast he didn't call a black person a prop.......I mean talk about dehumanizing, Hitler would be proud of that one
Many consider the āblack friend defenseā a tired and hollow argument.ā

Thatās because it is in fact a tired, hollow āargument.ā
