*I Don't Need Your People*

[Exotix]

An Ohio lawmaker is accusing the state’s new governor of saying he doesn’t “need” African-Americans.

Today

Ohio gov: 'I don't need your people' - Jennifer Epstein - POLITICO.com



“I don’t need your people,” state Sen. Nina Turner said Republican Gov. John Kasich told her when she offered her help in building a racially diverse cabinet.
All 22 of Kasich’s appointees since he took office Jan. 10 have been white, and only five are female.


Turner, who is black and a Democrat, said on Thursday that she was “kind of perplexed” by Kasich’s comment.

“ I wasn’t quite sure whether or not he was referring to my ethnic group people or ‘my people’ as in the 350,000 constituents I serve in this state that represent all ethnic groups, all religious groups,” she said.

“I didn’t understand what ‘I’m not going to hire your people’ means.”

But Turner said she thinks it has something to do with race.

“Today, in 2011, it feels more like 1811 in the state of Ohio under a governor who just does not get it,” she said.



Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols confirmed to POLITICO that the governor did tell Turner he didn’t need her “people,” but said he meant it in an entirely partisan way.

“What he meant was, ‘Your people are Democrats, we don’t need them on our cabinet,’” Nichols said.

“He said it referring to partisan Democrats who don’t agree with reducing taxes and reducing spending.”

Racists will find racism wherever they look.

Anyone who has 300 years experience is usually called an expert.

That works both ways.

Wow!! You're 300 years old?? Man! You look great!!!

Oh, wait, I see now. Because you are black, you know all about racism? And because I'm half-white, I'm supposed to be an expert racist? Even though I abhor racism?

Well, if you don't know, you should buy a book and educate yourself.

You're never too old.

You're welcome!

I believe the saying went along the lines that a racist will find racism everywhere they look.
That being said, Morgan Freeman had the best take on it of all:

YouTube - Morgan Freeman on Black History Month

Mike Wallace: "How are we going to get rid of racism?"

Morgan Freeman: "STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!"


In other words, stop glorifying and expounding on that which you are trying to relegate to the past. I think it's a fine idea.

I respectfully disagree, I was always taught to never run away from what you fear, don't understand or don't like.

But hey, things maybe a little different in Holliwood.

He's not saying to run away from it (and neither am I). The point is that the more it is kept in the limelight, and glorified, it will NEVER be dealt with and removed from society.

Look at all the hate and discontent that Sharpton and Jackson (and many, many others) keep stirring up, everything is always about race, about racism, etc. They have done more to further racism and divide the races than the erasing of racism that a dozen Dr. King's could have done.

Here's some good news, subtract two (2) individuals from the total US Population, and what do you have? Two (2) less excuses, two (2) less to fear.

Remember; both of these dudes are really old, so your excuses have a shelf life.

Next.

They may only physically be two, but they have mouths (and mouthpieces) that reflect hundreds upon hundreds.

Hang on, did you just describe the Tea Party?

I'm sorry, do you need to see my Birth Certificate?

Ace, match over.

Match not over, you made no point whatsoever. No sense either.

I agree. I've noticed that group is always on the scene, and quick to call it a racial issue.
King was a good man. I don't feel the same way about Malcolm X. He advocated violence. King stood for equality through peaceful menas.

I agree, and then there are some people who have network and cable showS that are aired five (5) days a week. Any guess who?

Like I said before, it goes both ways. All you need to do is see.
