Playing on fears? It was hyperbole, he was obviously meaning economic chains. But since when has "playing on fears" been something politicians do not do. That's pretty much ALL they do. You do it yourself with your suggestions that they will take your guns away and confiscate your property.
again blaming millions for the few is bigoted . Restoring Sanity signs sanity+098.jpgsanity+067.jpgsanity+092.jpgbaggers.jpgsanity+064.jpgsanity+043.jpg
 
Never heard of the guy ? Is he the one driving the tea party ? Come on Mick your Grasping at straws ? We can go back and forth on this issue forever . I dont judge you by who you hang with dont judge others .

I thought that the point was just that the Tea Party attract racists, so I gave an example. That does not mean that racism drives the Tea Party.

The Tea Party doesnt attract racist . Racist are everywhere in every movement . They come in all colors shapes and sizes . The video with the Nazi was a perfect example of how racist are treated in the Tea Party . They are not tolerated .
 
I thought it would speak for itself ??? 35 seconds of Vid ? discussion ? Me against everybody here isnt a discussion . Calling tea party racist and not looking into there own parties racism ? I notice no comments on that ?

Joe, it's still a discussion even if no one here agrees with you.

. I was still waiting for those radio talk show racist comments ? People say thing they are supposed to back it up with facts .saying the Tea Party is racist and not naming those by name is wrong . I see Mick found one that nobody know and nobody agrees with but at least it was something . I seen a few pictures not sure if they were actually Tea Party rallies ? Iv never seen anything remotely racist at the ones Iv attended . We would have told them to leave . We want Black Americans in the Tea Party and there are quite a few .

Well, it does seem your standard for racism is a little different to most people's :) To the extent that a lot of people will think you are racist yourself.

Then I guess they are to cowardly themselves to point out my racism ? I guess since they are liberals they are all perfect ? Most people avoid this subject like the plague . Thats why it still exist and flourishes . I think Obama is a racist , Marxist, antisemite ect . I think anyone who voted for his second term made a mistake . We all have a right to our opinions . No my standard for racism is after 4 years of race baiting and false claims of racism from the left and the media has pretty much made it almost irrelevant to me . Everything is racist to the left and the media its been a political game and its worked well with the Obama Zombies . I noticed Cairenn took the time to read your post and thank you but couldn't back up her claim . How Mick is my standard different ? Because I dont think fried chicken is racist ? I think its petty bullcrap like Al Sharpton would cry about .

I haven't heard any racist talk show comments, not blatant ones, but I almost think what's the point in posting them? You see to hand wave any proof anyone posts. You don't seem to think the posters of Obama as witch doctor are racist, but hear no evil-see noevil-speak no evil Bush is racist to you.

I seem to recall a couple of people saying you seem racist, I also don't see anyone avoiding the subject or saying liberals are perfect. What proof do you have that Obama is a racist anti semitic Marxist? You clearly have contempt for anyone who doesn't hate Obama as you do, calling them Obama Zombies.
 
I didn't answer you, because I would have violated the politeness policy at that point. I will get back to later.

I will have to admit, that answering you, makes me wish I smoked pot---

That's a good example yes. That type of thing makes people think you are racist. Most people think that jokes about black people eating fried chicken and watermelon are racist jokes. You think the black people just need to get over it. That comes across as racist.

It does not matter if you don't think you are racist. Or even if I don't think you are racist. Other people think you are racist. If you continue excusing fried chicken jokes then they will continue to think that. It's your call. You are making a decision to continue to appear racist.

I never said that bush see no evil was racist . I did say the Obama picture with monkey see monkey do was however racist .

That was a reference to the picture that was posted . I know about the stereo typing with fried chicken. Who doesnt like chicken ? I know plenty of black people that joke about that all the time even with us white crackers . Many of our local African Americans like catfish that is a fact . Is that racist If I put up a picture of catfish ? So now if a person doesnt think something like a food item isnt racist they themselves are racist ???? Wow talk about being paranoid ?

Thats a great reply .
 
Maybe you can't see it, but they DO. I once suggested a soul food restaurant that had some good reviews to my hubby, for a meal out. You would have thought that I had suggested a trip to a dungeon. I am white and I eat more 'soul' food, than he does.

You are upset that folks point out racists in the tea party to you. It bothers you. In fact you seem to want to deny that they are there, even when shown the evidence

I believe that I stated, as politely as I could, that I thought your comments were racist.

Actually, it comes across that Joe IS racist and lacks the introspection to realize it.

What did I say that was racist ? Thats a pretty extreme statement . You need to back up your charge Of "Joe is Racist" .

No I wasnt upset at all . Why should I be ? Im sure those people have been kicked out arent in any leadership positions to make a difference . The media has been hammering that dead horse for years . If you want to blame anyone for me not being outraged about what you perceive as racist blame Your liberal media and your Racist President . Why is it Ok for comedians like Chappelle to joke about things you consider racist with a mostly black audience that seems like they are laughing their @ss off .Yet if a white comedian did it it would be racist ? Seems like a double standard or Racism towards whites ? Would you like me to post Racist comments from Obama in his own words ? Ben Carson said PC is killing our country . When someone is so afraid to say something not to offend another that is being PC . There are a lot of things I find offensive everywhere .I dont want to silence anyone its called Free Speech !

Probably for the same reason Italians tell Italian jokes.

You keep saying you don't want to silence anyone, it's called free speech, who has said they want to silence people?
 
"No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something." -- Barack Obama To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy. When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society's stifling conventions. We weren't indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated.But this strategy alone couldn't provide the distance I wanted, from Joyce or my past. After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerant. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names." -- Barack Obama "It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: (White) People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time." -- Barack Obama "The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person..." -- Barack Obama I don’t believe it is possible to transcend race in this country. Race is a factor in this society. The legacy of Jim Crow and slavery has not gone away. It is not an accident that African-Americans experience high crime rates, are poor, and have less wealth. It is a direct result of our racial history." -- Barack Obama That's just how white folks will do you. It wasn't merely the cruelty involved; I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our bitter laughter. It was as if whites didn't know that they were being cruel in the first place. Or at least thought you deserving of their scorn." -- Barack Obama I can no more disown (Jeremiah Wright) than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe." -- Barack Obama "You got into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." -- Barack Obama

Those who cry racism want to silence . If you say something that they disagree with they label you a racist to silence you . Even if you dont say anything only diasgree what they perceive to be racist they label you a racist . Iv never in my life used a racial slur towards another individual . I treat all people the same regardless of race or sex . I see racism has been a tool for the left to gain political power . Italians also tell German jokes and Polish jokes as well as Irish jokes . Yet not one of them cries of racism ? Why is that ? Surely all were treated badly as immigrants to America ?
 
What did I say that was racist ? Thats a pretty extreme statement . You need to back up your charge Of "Joe is Racist" .

Gee, you keep making comments that several of us have pointed out are racist, you refuse to recognize that they are, you defend obviously racist signs, and you say people should just get over it. Sorry, that's racist.
 
They were never bought and sold like livestock, either. They were never lynched for looking a white woman. They haven't had their churches blown up and children killed in living memory.

Please step back out of your 'white' world and think what it would be like to be black, both today and growing up. Thing about your mother telling you to NEVER look a white girl or woman in the eye, to always look elsewhere, to not look any white man of authority in the eye.

I was poor and white and my hubby was poor and black. Those were different worlds. To a large extent my hubby grew up in a highly white environment, Jesuit schools in St Louis. But he had to leave there and go back to the ghetto.

Ha ha and that makes you Un_American ? . I didnt defend the signs I just said I didnt consider them racist except one . Its called FREE SPEECH and in America even if it offends they have a right to say it .

Nope only one race has had to deal with that ? No white people were ever sold into slavery ever or killed or hung for no reason ? except Jews under socialism .or Ukranians under communism . No whites have ever been killed because of their skin color by blacks ? Its all history now the most powerful man in the world is at least half black .

Where are MY RACIST Comments ?
 
Ha ha and that makes you Un_American ? . I didnt defend the signs I just said I didnt consider them racist except one . Its called FREE SPEECH and in America even if it offends they have a right to say it .

I don't recall stating or implying that you were unamerican, or that being racist was unamerican. Where did you get that?
 
They haven't had their churches blown up and children killed in living memory.


As you say that is in living memory - but older situations still rankle - Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, Islamic slavers along the coasts of Europe and England in the 1600's are still remembered in the various myths of the white slave trade, christian and jewish places of worship still get torched in moslem-majority countries, as do mosques of moslem minorities.

there is no society that is not racist to some degree or toerh, no person who does not have some "preference" of some sort that could be defined as racist by someone.

Drawing the line as if it were precise and fixed is a mistake IMO.
 
I don't recall stating or implying that you were unamerican, or that being racist was unamerican. Where did you get that?
No i said you are being un american for not recognizing someone else right to free speech . Now id like to see what comments I made that were racist ? Must have been the wrongly placed question mark ?
 
Those who cry racism want to silence . If you say something that they disagree with they label you a racist to silence you .

You think we are trying to silence you by telling you that fried chicken jokes are racist?

Criticizing Obamacare is not racist. Wanting smaller government is not racist. Resisting federal influence in the states is not racist. Even wanting intelligent design taught in schools is not racist.

People are not trying to shut you up by calling you a racist. You bring that upon yourself. If you make a fried chicken joke, or a monkey joke, or a watermelon joke, then that makes people think you are racist. But they are not trying to shut you up about states rights or small government, they are trying to shut people up about fried chicken jokes, or in your case telling black people they should not be offended by fried chicken jokes.

If you want to be taken seriously, then you need to acknowledge that people are offended by these things, and not dismiss their offense.

Ideally nobody would be offended by anything. But that does not change the fact that they are offended.

No I said I dint think chicken sign is racist , There was no joke on that sign , they can say its offensive but not racist , IMO . Yet Chappelle says it Its OK and Funny ? Double standard , cant have it . Thats racism .
 
I'm having trouble trying to see what you find racist about these comments - they seem like fairly insightful sympathetic analysis and personal experience on the topic of race issues?
I dont but others think they are . I guess if you switch roles , Obama being white saying typical black person . The special Olympics was insensitive towards the handicapped . I guess its in the eyes of the beholder ? What one person finds racist others may not . But you cant call them a racist for that could you ? You also can label "the many" for the actions of a few .
 
Why should we ? Iv never owned a slave have you ? I treat all people the same regardless of race . I look at myself as a American not white . When we divide ourselves by our skin color we divide ourselves into groups . why are whites all grouped together as one ? A person from Norway looks much different the a person from southern Italy . yet in America they are considered white ? Most Hispanics are considered white being that Spain is in Europe. If I were to go compete for a job with a African american and we both had the same qualifications Affirmative action would give him a advantage and has for years even if he was less qualified . Seems whites are at a disadvantage . It has more to due with Income then color . Maybe wealth privilege ? Its not fair some are born into wealthy families while some are born to poor families . Its wrong its dividing us and it is Critical Race Theory . Its reverse racism .

after seeing The Southern Poverty Law Center as contributor was enough for me to laugh . Social justice organizations ? Nuff Said . what a bunch of crap . I think we all know how we feel inside about race gender ect . Why bother taking a test ? Everyone has some sort of bias whether or not they'd admit it is another story . Its human nature .

No they have a problem with left wing feminist activist trying to stir the pot to create a illusion of unfairness . Really ? Band aids are pinkish they don't match my Floridian skin color either . They study this crap in colleges too ? You wonder why we are falling behind other countries in education ?

The majority of black people are lower income or poor . They been taught their entire life its because of someone else fault that they are poor . Of course they feel that racism is still alive because some of them harbor hatred towards other races mostly the white race . Thanks to race hustlers like Al Sharptounge and Jesse Crackson . Affirmative action is wrong . It favors skin color over experience and skill . There have been many lawsuits over Affirmative action . There isnt a country in the world where there isnt racism of some sort . Mexico is a perfect example . In LA Mexicans Hate Blacks And Blacks hate Mexicans .

I did its affirmative action . Lets not forget BET? if there were a WET there would be cries of racism . Ebony Awards ? if there were Ivory Awards there would be cries of racism . Would you also like me to list all the courts cases of lawsuits by whites discriminated against because they werent black ? Even if they were more qualified ? Im not saying its not a problem , Im just saying since the begining of time till the end of time it will always exist . No Im just not a coward like most . I love everyone I don care what color they are since Im such a mix of everything . I just know that when people blame others all their life they are holding themselves back . Playing victim all their life doesnt help . I used to think when was younger that big whites guys riding Harley Davidson's Know as bikers were Scary only to find out that they were actually the kindest people Iv ever met . Is that racist ? Or normal behavior ?

So then they go the other way ? Little rascals had buckwheat . I lived in Wyandanch I went to school there . you mean in the sixties and before When most had full families with a daddy and a mommy untill the great society and the welfare state broke up the black family ? Before rap music ? When they had Jazz music and Motown ? with a few exceptions I think many were better off then then they are now other then being discriminated against . We barely had a TV in the sixties and if we did there were only 3 channels on The Island . CBS ABC NBC .

the only one Id consider slightley racist allthough there were plenty of Bush monkey refrences would be the monkey see monkey spend .

Its a Muslim name so they put a turban on his head big deal get over it ? I have a German name is that racist ????

No sure . Its real hard to define racism . They say racism is dirrected toward a race but It still Stereotyping a group of people wether it be by race or class or sex . most races are so mixed I actually think its hard to define . My Nephew is Blonde hair blue eyed light skinned . His father is black is he a African american ? I think people are over sensitive . I wasnt happy to see Obama elected but thought at least one good thing would be that in the end race relations would improve . Instead cries of racism havent stopped even when there was none . Like the Boy who cried wolf story .

It was suggesting Bush was stupid and subhuman too . I said that was the only one I did consider racist . But Obama medicine man or witch doctor was a insult towards His healthcare plan which Im not looking forward to at all . He is the president he know he will be criticized and everyone need s to deal with it . Its called free speech and it was to protect offensive speech. You want to see racism read the new DOJ report .

Thats fine with me you are more then welcome to your opinion . I hope i didn't offend anyone . If I did they need to look at things differently . Its a tough world we live in they need to get over being offended .

No that word is for Rap songs and blacks call themselves that all the time . I would never call a black the N word . Do you get offended easy Mick ? Im sure youve been called many things by others ? I have . If i were to call a black man a N Id have to be pretty pissed at him and wouldnt consider it being racist only really mad . If I called him a N for no reason then it would be racist and me acting like a jerk . But if a black man called me a cracker or Nazi or whatever for no reason you might say its racist but id just say he is being a @sshole . The Race card has been overplayed .

Where are MY RACIST Comments ?

I made them bold so you could find them easier. The thing is, some of those are barely racist, but when taken altogether, paints a pretty damning portrait. That you don't consider them racist, doesn't change anything.
 
No I said I dint think chicken sign is racist , There was no joke on that sign , they can say its offensive but not racist , IMO . Yet Chappelle says it Its OK and Funny ? Double standard , cant have it . Thats racism .


The point is that there wouldn't even have been a chicken sign if Obama were white. That's what makes it racist.

The bandaid comment is out of context, It was about a list of white privileged written by a leftist white women ,Im sorry I grew up watching the Little Rascals buckweat was his name in the series and my favorite rascal .and again you forgot to add what I was replying to . Social justice is Communism . Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are race baiters resposible for the death of a young jewish boy In NY I have no respect for either of those two Assholes . Didnt see one racist comment whatsoever . many facts like being overplayed .Nextime before you post bullshit next time read all of the context and what was being replied to . EPIC FAIL heres what Iwas replying to with the buckwheat statement To prove he was wrong andthere were other black people on tv before thje seventies (. When BET came out every other station was WET. Magazines were the same. You NEVER saw a black face in ANY woman's magazine. That is why there is an Ebony, and Black Entertainment TV. You don't remember when Dihanne Carroll starred in her own TV show? She was the first black woman to have her own show. Even when Bill Cosby was on I Spy it was a big deal. I can't imagine being black before the 70s, when every time you turned on the tv or went to the movies you say EXCLUSIVELY people who did not look like you, unless they were a maid.}
