Actress Stacey Dash pulled over by the black ‘thought police’

George Washington Carver was a Republican; Jackie Robinson was a Republican.

They are two of the most revered black pioneers in the history of humankind.

Something tells me they would be mortified by the injustice suffered by Hollywood’s Stacey Dash last week.

The lovely 46-year-old actress sent this Tweet: “Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future.”

She immediately was vilified in the Twitter-world. It’s ironic that a woman who starred in a movie called Clueless literally was being lambasted as clueless.

One vitriolic response said: “You’re an unemployed black woman endorsing MittRomney. You’re voting against yourself thrice. You poor beautiful idiot.”

When this shameful vilification surfaced, I immediately thought of two previous episodes: O.J. Simpson and George W. Bush.

Back in 1995, during the Simpson trial, when living in New York, a black barber incessantly pleaded to me: “Don’t write that; don’t write that. Black people will call you a traitor.”

The barber was referring to a commentary that I had planned to write about Simpson’s guilt.
