Tea Party Racism

[Trench]

Mark Williams, right wing talk show host, CNN favorite and ?organizer? of the corporate-backed Tea Party Express, posted the following "open letter" to President Lincoln on his blog last week. He's spent much of the past week defending it. The letter...

Dear Mr. Lincoln,

We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don?t cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!

In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the ?tea party movement?.

The tea party position to ?end the bailouts? for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn?t that what we want all Coloreds to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us coloreds! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.

And the ridiculous idea of ?reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government.? What kind of massa would ever not want to control my life? As Coloreds we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions!

The racist tea parties also demand that the government ?stop the out of control spending.? Again, they directly target coloreds. That means we Coloreds would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.

Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government ?stop raising our taxes.? That is outrageous! How will we coloreds ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?

Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we belong.

Sincerely

Precious Ben Jealous, Tom?s Nephew NAACP Head Colored Person

And now we have Andrew Breitbart, who often appears as keynote speaker at Tea Party events across the country, deliberately attempting to portray Georgia's Director of Rural Development for the US Department of Agriculture, Shirley Sherrod, as a racist by editing a video of her speaking engagement before members of the NAACP.

you don`t see the correlation,do you?....

really?...

the tea parties being labeled "racist" by race baiters forwarding claims that they called members of congress the n-word...and there is not one iota of proof that that ever happened....there were cameras,microphones and cell ophones all over the damned place....theres a reward($100,000) out if someone can produce any proof that racists slurs were yelled...

and nobody has come forward...

now the sherrod tape...she`s been (it seems) unfairly tarred also,based on the unedited tape(even though she admitted to being a racist and harboring racist feelings that permeated her job performance yeras ago)....but has seen the error of her ways...

this on the back of the obama administration dropping a slam-dunk election tampering case involving the black panthers...

tit for tat...this administration sure is post racial....:142smilie

you don`t get the irony?.......then, i can`t help you there...

firstly,williams has been denounced and expelled from the tea party group(tea party express?).....

there will always be nuts on the fringes of every group...i.e. code pink and the left wing anarchists that show up at g-8 summits...


all the tea partiers want is smaller government and financial/fiscal responsibility so their children and their children`s children aren`t shackled with enormous debt resulting from overblown bureaucratic irresponsibility.....


....secondly,if i were you,i`d learn from weasel`s faux pas and give it a day or two before i crow about breitbart...it`s possible that he was sent the edited tape as is.....he may not have touched the tape.....he may have been sandbagged himself.....

Race Card Fraud
Race Card Fraud

By Thomas Sowell

Credit card fraud is a serious problem. But race card fraud is an even bigger problem.
Playing the race card takes many forms. Judge Charles Pickering, a federal judge in Mississippi who defended the civil rights of blacks for years and defied the Ku Klux Klan back when that was dangerous, was depicted as a racist when he was nominated for a federal appellate judgeship.

No one even mistakenly thought he was a racist. The point was simply to discredit him for political reasons-- and it worked.
This year's target is the tea party movement. When leading Democrats, led by a smirking Nancy Pelosi, made their triumphant walk on Capitol Hill, celebrating their passage of a bill in defiance of public opinion, tea party members on the scene protested.
All this was captured on camera and the scene was played on television. What was not captured on any of the cameras and other recording devices on the scene was anybody using racist language, as has been charged by those playing the race card.
When you realize how many media people were there, and how many ordinary citizens carry around recording devices of one sort or another, it is remarkable-- indeed, unbelievable-- that racist remarks were made and yet were not captured by anybody.
The latest attack on the tea party movement, by Ben Jealous of the NAACP, has once again played the race card. Like the proverbial lawyer who knows his case is weak, he shouts louder.
This is not the first time that an organization with an honorable and historic mission has eventually degenerated into a tawdry racket. But that an organization like the NAACP, after years of fighting against genuine racism, should now be playing the game of race card fraud is especially painful to see.
Some critics of the tea parties have seized upon banners carried at one of the rallies that compared Obama with Hitler and Stalin. Extreme? Yes. But there was nothing racist about it, since extreme comparisons have been made about politicians of every race, color, creed, nationality, ideology and sexual preference.
Some Obama supporters have long regarded any criticism of him as racism. But that they should have to resort to such a banner to bolster their case shows how desperate they are for any evidence.
Among people who voted for Barack Obama in 2008, those who are likely to be most disappointed are those who thought that they were voting for a new post-racial era. There was absolutely nothing in Obama's past to lead to any such expectation, and much to suggest the exact opposite. But the man's rhetoric and demeanor during the election campaign enabled this and many other illusions to flourish.
Still, it was an honest mistake of the kind that decent people have often made when dealing with people whose agendas are not constrained by decency, but only by what they think they can get away with.
On race, as on other issues, different people have radically different views of Barack Obama, depending on whether they judge him by what he says or by what he does.
As Obama's own books point out, he has for years cultivated a talent for saying things that people will find congenial.
You want bipartisanship and an end to bickering in Washington? He will say that he wants bipartisanship and an end to bickering in Washington. Then he will shut Republicans out of the decision-making process and respond to their suggestions by reminding them that he won the election. A famous writer-- Ring Lardner, I believe-- once wrote: "'Shut up,' he explained."
You want a government that is open instead of secretive? He will say that. He will promise to post proposed legislation on the Internet long enough for everyone to read it and know what is in it before there is a vote. In practice, however, he has rushed massive bills through Congress too fast for anybody-- even the members of Congress-- to know what was in those bills.
Racial issues are more of the same. You want a government where all citizens are treated alike, regardless of race or ethnicity? Obama will say that. Then he will advocate appointing judges with "empathy" for particular segments of the population, such as racial minorities. "Empathy" is just a pretty word for the ugly reality of bias.
Obama's first nomination of a Supreme Court justice was a classic example of someone with "empathy" for some racial groups, but not others. As a Circuit Court judge, Sonia Sotomayor voted to dismiss a case involving white firefighters who had been denied the promotions for which they qualified, because not enough blacks or Hispanics passed the same test that they did.
A fellow Hispanic judge protested the way the white firefighters' case was dismissed, rather than adjudicated. Moreover, the Supreme Court not only took the case, it ruled in favor of the firefighters.
Obama's injecting himself into a local police matter in Massachusetts, despite admitting that he didn't know the facts, to say that a white policeman was in the wrong in arresting a black professor who was a friend of Obama, was more of the same. So is Obama's Justice Department overlooking blatant voter intimidation by thugs who happen to be black.
There is not now, nor has there ever been, anything post-racial about Barack Obama, except for the people who voted for him in the mistaken belief that he shared their desire to be post-racial. When he leaves office, especially if it is after one term, he will leave this country more racially polarized than before.
Hopefully, he may also leave the voters wiser, though sadder, after they learn from painful experience that you can't judge politicians by their rhetoric, or ignore their past because of your hopes for the future. Voters may even wise up to race card fraud

Are you insisting it is the liberal guys here who are being hateful? I know that some of them go a bit over the top at times but to blame them for the hate is crazy. Did you consider what the neocons at this site have done to deserve many of the remarks made here?

When a site has a group of people (neocons) who make many many racist posts, applaud the demise of native americans, tilte a thread, Timothy McVeigh, my hero? I mean WTF do you think others will say to them. When you have political idiots here such as DTB, Skulnick, Hedgy (who I like), Rusty, and the cocksucker Raymond what do you expect.. That is an abrasive bunch of guys who never have their own thought unless Rush, Hannidy, or Savage express it first..

what i`m saying is that when bush was president,the conservatives in the forum took a shitpotload of heat from the libs.....bushitler,chimpy mchaliburton,murderer,9/11 truthers.,war for oil ....you name it....

we didn`t cry and whine to jack and make his job of policing the forum a living hell...we just went about our business like grown-ups and refuted all the garbage point by point....

now,obama gets elected and libs are on the defensive..but,they can`t argue their big governmental, nanny state position on their own without crying to jack....and they can`t handle jabs and jibes directed at obama....

thin skin much?...

they can`t defend the new socialistic,un-american programs of the obama administration effectively....the "scope of government" issues....

so they take the unintelligent man`s tactic(straight from the jesse jackson/al sharpton school of character assassination)and resort to the "racist" meme to try and avoid debating the issues....

it`s really pathetic...

Breitbart has solidified his top position of race baiter after the last few days. I watched lap dog Hannity with Breitbart last night. It satisfied my comedy fix while Jon Stewart is on vacation.

Second, I don't want to here any more on the big government subject. I am surprised conservatives would still use this playbook lie after the Reagan years, let alone after uncovering the increase in government in the name of keeping us safe this past week. Over 100 new agencies, how many new buildings and buddies with contracts?

Have a good evening.

Ummm... that's a nice little story there Weezy. The only problem with it is that it's all in your head. The reason Jack locked the political forum down was because there was a small group (and we all know who they are) that kept posting racist stuff. He gave them numerous warnings but they kept doing it.

This forum was no different than most in that once Barack Obama became the Democratic frontrunner in 2008, the race began to take on a racial undertone. It showed up on Internet forums and blogs, on cable news networks, in Town Hall meetings and in the Tea Party movement. As time went on, the racial slurs, jokes and innuendo became more and more prevalent.

The left did beatup on Bush & Cheney, particularly during their 2nd term, but they never had to deal with the race issue. Race is an issue that no other American President has had to deal with on a daily basis, as Obama does. He cannot escape it.

Like no President before him, race plays a part in every decision he makes and every interview and speech he gives. His words and actions must assure the American public every day that he represents us all. He cannot permit himself to be seen as an Uncle Tom by blacks, nor can he allow himself to show any favoritism toward blacks or other minorities.

Many Americans are just incapable of understanding or imagining the racial issues the first black President in our history faces every day of his Presidency. Some are just in denial about it, whereas others are more opportunistic and see it as vulnerability.
