Washingtonpost.com Special Report: Clinton Accused



Quote:
Jesse Jackson's 'Hymietown' Remark – 1984
Rev. Jesse Jackson referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymietown" in January 1984 during a conversation with a black Washington Post reporter, Milton Coleman. Jackson had assumed the references would not be printed because of his racial bond with Coleman, but several weeks later Coleman permitted the slurs to be included far down in an article by another Post reporter on Jackson's rocky relations with American Jews.

Oh, this one is way too good to pass on writing about it.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid got nailed for uttering what may be one of the most stupid -- and flagrantly racist -- comments in some time. Here's the kicker, and what makes this so good: The remarks were about the leader of his party.

That would be President Obama of course, who, according to Reid, is refreshingly bereft of "Negro dialect" when he speaks.

"Negro dialect"? Is Reid's mind stuck way back in the 1940s? Reid's comment was made in a book titled "Game Change," written by Time magazine reporter Mark Halperin and John Heilemann of New York magazine. The book is a compilation of quotes from key players in the 2008 presidential campaign.

"[Reid] was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts," Halperin and Heilemann reported, "and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,' as he later put it privately."

I'm not sure whether I should condemn Reid or slap him on the back for this Brobdingnagian gaffe. By cramming his foot down his throat so deeply, Reid has proved that, liberal dogma notwithstanding, conservatives and Republicans don't have the monopoly when it comes to making racist comments.

Liberals and Democrats might deny that charge, but I got a full dose of it in late 2008, days after Obama won the general election. I was at the annual meeting of an organization known as the Trotter Group. The TG comprises black columnists from across the nation. Its members meet -- or try to meet -- at least once a year. And as you may suspect, those members are almost all liberals and Democrats.

Let me put it this way: If I died tomorrow, the TG would be minus one Republican and down to zero conservatives.

A young black man who worked for the Republican National Committee came to speak to the Trotters. He told them that he joined the party because Republican doctrines were most in accord with his personal beliefs.

When the question-and-answer period came, he got hammered. How could he identify with those racist Republicans, some members demanded to know. Another came up with this gem: "I don't see how any intelligent black person could be a Republican."

I'm sure it was quite a shock to the young man -- as it was to me -- that all black Republicans are idiots and all black Democrats are Phi Beta Kappa material. It struck me immediately that former U.S. Ambassador Alan Keyes is not only a black Republican, but also probably more intelligent than members of the TG combined.

Now I could have chimed in and told my fellow Trotters that I joined the Republican Party for several reasons. I believe the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision is the worst it has ever made, one that started the country down the road to moral decay and perdition. I believe my right to defend myself with a firearm if I so choose is not negotiable.

I believe that what liberals and Democrats call "affirmative action" is nothing more than a synonym for "blatant racial preferences." And I believe that parents who have to send their children to public schools should be able to use vouchers or have the choice of sending their children to charter schools.

In short, with these beliefs, there's no way I could intelligently join the Democratic Party. Besides, I couldn't, in good conscience, remain a Democrat one more day in a city like Baltimore, long mismanaged by Democrats.

Now, thanks to Reid, I can make the observation that Democrats can be every bit as racist as liberals claim Republicans are. And make no mistake about it: Reid's statement was racist.

He not very subtly implied that "light-skinned" blacks are superior to dark-skinned blacks. And he didn't have the good sense to know that he'd ventured into a very dangerous, volatile area. Believe me, black folks don't bring up this "light-skinned vs. dark-skinned" thing unless we really have to.

How has Obama reacted to all this? Why, by accepting Reid's pathetic apology and declaring "the book is closed" on the matter. White guys like Don Imus must be wondering where Obama was when they really needed him.

Whether it’s somebody, some cracker out there on the right calling him — some birther type that he’s not an American or it is someone a little more sophisticated, but basically saying he’s a socialist,”

Liberal racist Bill Maher defines what a black man is | Roaring Republican


Quote:
Liberal racist Bill Maher defines what a black man is
Posted on May 30, 2010 by Roaring Republican
HBO’s Bill Maher: “I thought when we elected a black president, we were going to get a black president. You know, this [BP oil spill] is where I want a real black president. I want him in a meeting with the BP CEOs, you know, where he lifts up his shirt where you can see the gun in his pants. That’s — we’ve got a ‘motherfu**ing problem here?’ Shoot somebody in the foot.”
Apparently when Bill Maher voted for our president he thought he was getting a stereotype black coke dealer. I love hearing racist white liberals define how a black person should act, it always ends in racism.

I saw that one, it was hilarious

Isn't strange how Comedians make a living; they tell jokes that make their audience laugh.

No comment for Post 37? Your first post is clearly inflammatory and tries to label all conservatives with the racist label. Why the back tread?
