Its almost like it was planned

When it comes to politics, “black” has always been used as just another code word for “Democrat”.

Ask any individual black Republican over the years how well he/she has traditionally been treated by “liberals”.

That party has never given a genuine shite about whether black people have representation. They care about getting Democrats in power.

If blacks traditionally had voted Republican, you wouldn’t hear a peep about representation from the Democratic Party.

Memphis Cohen was a white man that beat a black woman.

Sad that white democrats refused to vote for Bergmann specifically due to her being a black woman.

This is proof that you don't venture outside your bubble and choose to be willfully ignorant

Virginia Spanberger over Sears
Memphis Cohen was a white man that beat a black woman.
Utah Mia Love
Cherish Beasley lost to Ted Bud
John James lost to Gary Peters
John James lost to Debbie Stabenow

Spanburger vs. Sears. Neither was in the office of Governor before the election, so a Republican was not unseated by a Democrat in this race

Memphis Cohen beat a white Republican and a black Independent male, Jake Ford, to become congressman, not by beating a black woman in the primary.

Mia Love deserved to lose. She was a mess. But she was a black Republican who lost to a white Democrat. True.

Cheris Beasley was a black Democrat who lost to a white Republican (why is she in this list?)

John James was not an incumbent when he lost to Gary Peters, AND to Debbie Stabenow. (why is he on the list?)

So the ONLY example of a black Republican incumbent Senator or Congressman losing to a white or black democrat you came up with is Mia Love.

Congrats.

Not following why being an incumbent (or not) matters here.

The premise, at least as I read it, is that black Republicans were being kicked out of office by white Democrats.

Mia Love is the only one that was listed. There's more that the OP didn't list that actually were black congressmen who lost their seat to a Democrat, whether white or black.

Sen. Edward Brooke, R-Massachusetts — lost in 1978 to Democrat Paul Tsongas.

Rep. Gary Franks, R-Connecticut — lost in 1996 to Democrat James H. Maloney.

Rep. Allen West, R-Florida — lost in 2012 to Democrat Patrick Murphy.

The premise is these efforts to ensure racially correct representation is bullshite and it's just about ensuring deomcrat wins.

Next time just say this whole discussion is over your head. Save us some time

No one said anything about an incumbent being unseated. The point was that liberals tried to claim that they were taking the away the black representation when the incumbents were white people that had beaten black candidates. Liberals just look stupid again. You would figure they would have learned their lesson by now but apparently they are not that intelligent.
