Steve Bannon in 2010: Democrats have a ‘plantation mentality’ towards African-Americans – CNN
Bannon, the former Breitbart executive who has now emerged as one the most influential advisers inside Trump's White House, described a "victimology" among African Americans created by the welfare state, which caused them to attack black conservatives.
After listing off several prominent black conservatives, Bannon said, "These people are heroes. They take an incredible, incredible amount of grief because the welfare state has built in this victimology. And the elitist, liberal, progressives have a plantation mentality that they don't think African Americans should be out of government control."
A spokesperson for the Trump administration did not return a request for comment.
Bannon added in the webinar that Tea Party activists have to support black conservatives.
"The Democratic progressive party cannot rule if they don't get 90% of the black vote. If we cut into the black vote, if we make it 80/20, we can win a hundred congressional seats this time," Bannon said.
Earlier in the program, Bannon said conservative women and minorities are attacked by liberals because they pose a threat to their narrative about conservatives.
"If you think the women are vilified, if you think Sarah Palin, and Michele Bachmann, and Michelle Malkin, all of these great women in the tea party movement are absolutely vilified because they are an existential threat to progressive narrative, you haven't seen anything by how they viciously attack our black and African American conservatives," he said.
