"These tokens ... shucking and jiving for their white handlers"

Black Republicans work for the White Man. That’s a theme of Tiffany Cross’s MSNBC show. She began a segment on Saturday with “I’m just going to say it: I don’t know a lot of black Republicans who really ride for black people.” She showed video of Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears, Herschel Walker, and Sen. Tim Scott.

Cross brought on her resident provocateur Elie Mystal said that black Republicans like Herschel Walker are “tokens”:

I make a hard distinction between black conservatives, of which there are many: one of whom [Eric Adams] was just elected mayor of New York City, in fact, and these tokens, who are out here right now, shucking and jiving for their white handlers.
