"This is the face of the only real opposition to Obama being president - racism."

Well that and
His lack of experience
His lack of anything but partisan bull
His lack of understanding what a SC justice is supposed to do.
His belief that our troops are less important then his quibbling politics.
His inability to form complete sentences without the aid of a prompter.
His record for being a sheep.
His lack of understanding economics.
His only platform being "i'm not bush"
His playing to the ignorant
His bolstering the hatred against the right
His own fanning of the racial flames
His lack of morals
His lack of common sence
...

I could go on but i would develop carpal tunnel long before i was done.

"Sadly that in the 21st century a persons skin tone is used to define them."

Then stop.
He is a man.
Just like any other.
Don't treat him any differently.
Don't use his race as a positive.
Let whoever wants to, use it a negative, it is only a poor reflection on them selfs.
Propagating hatred to fight hatred only promotes more hatred.

Your a loser lip. Really. No other words need to describe it. He is not black either. His mom was white.

You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking - you think ol' Joe is going to vote for Hussein?

I don't know what your preference is, so i don't know if I am or not. I like you and you seem like a nice guy, but if you think McCain is a good vote then we need to talk offline, so you won't be embarrassed to be smacked down in front of your peers.

I will admit for the get-go that I employed a touch of hyperbole in my statement, but at the same time, I will say that if he was white he would be so far ahead in the polls, you would have to use a telescope to see him and the race would already be called.

Not Obama, definitely not McCain. a bit more detail in email.

HC, I shouldn't say all that about the smack-down. You have a right to your opinion as I do. My opinion is that a major 'unspoken opposition' to obama is racial.

I can respect if you say that you are independent and you have to observe the issues and candidates, but if you are gonna tell me you are all about Bush/Cheney/Rove, I don't want to talk to you anymore because that philosophy and those people are poison to my brain and to what i believe is good and true.

Well, according to Rush Limbaugh not only is Obama not black, but he's an Arab to boot. Of course, don't ask Rush where Obama's father was born. He has a little trouble getting "KENYA" out.

You know, that Arab nation, KENYA?? I guess it's not part of Africa after all. And not black. Yeah. That's it.

if the white supremacists were smart and they really wanted to help their cause, they would STFU. when they open their mouths full of hatred it makes some special interest groups want to vote for Obama even more having the reverse desired effect.

retards will be retards. drum up the Obama sympathy votes.

Anybody suprised by this?

Neo-Nazis lufs the rethuglycunt party.

They always have and they always will.

The GOPhers are the party of Hate whether that be anti-black, anti-gay, anti-female, anti-poor, anti-middle class or just plain old fashioned anti-American.

Try to run away from the reality, Rightards.

This post passes muster.
It fits the template.
Most are comfortable with this familiar recipe.

Only whites can be racist

This is logical, just as is the following:

1. Blacks cannot be racist
2. Blacks cannot swim
3. Blacks cannot master algebra

Sal The Gator surely is one of THEM. MORALS, even? This from a supporter of the ancient cheater-in-spades (so to speak) McSame and the Wasilla Floozie against a candidate whose morality is impeccable? Common "sence" too ? herm

There are some blacks that believe blacks cannot be racist and they are not being sarcastic either. They really believe it.

The part about algebra and swimming is just dumb.

I never have understood the logic of saying 'my behavior is ok because (somebody else) is worse than i am and you don't bitch about them.' Does no one have self respect anymore?

The argument seems to be, 'I'll prove to you that racism exists', and then go about proving it by being a racists. Ok, I'm convinced, you win, it does exist.

Now what?

The way libs are wringing their hands and sobbing about Floppy being Black and being picked on exceeds all the wailing when Princess Di passed. I shed a tear for Diana but Ears is gonna have to learn to quit complaining like a little pussy and fight like a man.

If you think whites are the only racists, move to South Texas.

To me, it's a miracle that it has taken this long for the nut jobs to go more public in their paranoid ranting because of color. It is my belief that there will be increasing amounts of such reuse of bathroom paper in the future.

Ok, so everybody has proved it exists and it exists across cultural and racial lines.

Now What?

This is the face of the only real opposition to Obama being president - racism. Get used to it, they will get lots of airplay.#1 | Posted by Lipzoidial

Are you effin' serious?!?

Wow, talk about over-simplistic explanations!

Racism is the LAST thing in the world I'd ever stand for or even tolerate.

If you really care about African American culture, you'd work on prolife issues--*63-9*, americans have 45% of the abortions in America.

What does THAT do to a culture?!?!?

Racism, requires not just the belief that your race is superior to others, but the power to assert that superiority. When black people tell you that they can't be racist, that is, by definition, correct.

Can they be bigoted? Absolutely.

I'm not going to even begin to address your #'s 2 and 3. They are absurd on their face.

Republicans: "I was a racist before I was Not a Racist, before I was a Racist and Damn Proud of that!"

Drip...drip...drip...

That's the sound of the life-blood of the republican party draining away.

It's about time!

I agree blacks can be biggoted. I worked for a black attorney, when she was referring a case she would ONLY refer the case to another black attorney, never to a white, despite the white attorney being much more qualified to take the case. I called her on it once. She was gobsmacked that someone would actually do that. She and I are still friends. 14 years later.

I truly enjoyed my career at Motorola.

Lunch might include a comment from a woman from China with a PhD in Physics from Cambridge: "All you white people look alike to me!"

She and her husband were dear friends and co-workers for over a decade.

"Do my bosons give you a hadron?"

Damn I love smart women.

Too bad Grace Hopper has no legacy.

It is an unfortunate fact that blacks score on the average a full standard deviation below whites on general intelligence tests does not say anything about the intelligence of the specific individual. All intelligence tests such as SAT and AFQT show the same result
(Bell Curve Chapter 13)

My previous post was an attemp to illustrate something as being absurd - by being absurd.

OF COURSE blacks can swim.
OF COURSE blacks can master algebra.
OF COURSE blacks CAN be racist - to believe otherwise
would be intellectually dishonest.

Caucasians do not have a monopoly on racism.

Furthermore, the idea that the rebublican party is
home to racists is a gigantic false stereotype.

Was Lincoln a racist?
Was Jefferson Davis a republican?

Democrats OWNED slaves. Sad but true.
Then they fought a civil war to keep OWNING slaves.
Then they created share-cropping (slavery 'light').
Then they created Jim Crowe laws to create seperation.
Then they fought civil rights legislation.
Then they admit a KKK member into the senate.
Now they OWN the black vote.

From owning blacks...to...owning the black vote.

It's a testament to the ability of the democrat party
to bullshit their way to the top (with lots of help
from the liberal media).

The way that democrats pander and infantilise black people is really disgusting. By the democrats behaviour, it would appear that democrats think blacks are not really human, but actually another species. By and large, blacks get a free pass to act uncivilized; to lead the league in violent crime; to lead the league in out-of-wedlock births; to reject out-of-hand education because it's acting white; to create a sub-culture (hip hop) that is destructive in countless ways.

I don't think black people (or any humans) are inferior; but, I do think that black culture is
inferior. I have been all over the US...Atlanta, Chicago, L.A., Detroit, Oakland, Little Rock, Frisco, Philly,..I have literally been to EVERY
big city in the US. Black culture is destructive and
dangerous.

Wearing your hat crooked, leading the league in felonies, and addressing one another as "nigger"
(in this white-privelaged person's mind) IS NOT PROGRESS.

If Obama wins, maybe he can influence people to grab the brass ring that is realistically within reach. I hope to God that if he wins that that is what will happen. But I am doubtful. His rhetoric suggests that people will get something for nothing and that people will FINALLY get what they have so long deserved.

Nothing is really free. NOTHING.
Everything is bought and paid for - one way or another.

Work for it - and be done with it.

"Anybody suprised by this?

Neo-Nazis lufs the rethuglycunt party.

They always have and they always will."

You're not only mentally ill spud, you're a blithering idiot as well.

If it was Powell in 2000 or Rice this year, they would have done the same thing.

Is Canadian socialized mental health care that bad, or do you just refuse to take your medication?

Racism exists in all races.

Blacks are just as racist as whites, who are just as racist as asians, who are just as racist as arabs etc...

Guess what?
It is natural to prefer your own race over another. Natural.
Didn't it used to be called "ethnocentrism?"

Conclusive studies have proven that EVERY races prefers to be around members of their own race.

Oh, OMT ...neo-nazis suck.

Just what does your comparison illustrate? A black person is more intelligent than you. Accept that as a fact (and your demonstrated reasoning ability would suggest that it's probably a correct conclusion) whatever the race of the person to whom you compare yourself, what is "the fact" that a black person is more intelligent than you supposed to illustrate?

I don't like hate groups seeking to inflict gratuitous harm on other groups or members of other groups.

Maybe the content of the pamphlet should be addressed and refuted by some of you who take umbrage at its dissemination.

As to the picture of Obama wearing a turban, I glanced through one of the tabloids today while in line at a market, and there was a supposedly valid picture of Obama with a turban.

What I wonder about is the effect on Obama's citizenship and right to run for the presidency is based on his generally acknowledged travel to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport when he was 20 or 21 years of age. Would this use of a foreign passport identifying Obama as a foreign national constitute a renunciation of his American citizenship? I'm not aware of the law on this subject, but there must be some legal beagles among the readers of the Drudge Retort, who may be willing to inform us as to their opinions on this mater.

If you really care about African American culture, you'd work on prolife issues--AFRICAN Americans have 45% of the abortions in America. What does THAT do to a culture?!?!?#21 | Posted by kirk at 2008-09-24 07:44 PM | Reply

That's seriously messed up!

We have a lot of African-American/Obama Haters here at DR.

It's rather disturbing to see many Hate Groups membership roles really getting a boost due to Obama's candidacy.

It seems that Ears is giving Ole' Jowels McSame a regular ass-whupping over the last week in the polls.

p.s. The thread isn't about Ears discussing racism, it's about your friends distributing their racist propaganda.

Behold the face of racism. It's not necessarily kkk members and wannabes. It is also people who say bullshit things like this.

I know people who oppose him for other reasons than race.

A sociologist once told me that the culture you witnessed is primarily caused by poverty--race just adds some minor superficial differences. The current culture of poverty seems to cause people to get what they can as soon as they can because they think someone else will take it from them. This prevents them from being able to generate any savings that would help them get out of the situation. There are other issues I can't remember at the moment.

I imagine if you visit any middle-class black family in a suburb, most of the destructive trends you mentioned would be absent.

Exactly. And To turn it around, if you go to Eastern Kentucky or West Virginia, you see a lot of poverty and the exact same destructive behaviors contributing to it..

Except that they are virtually all white people.

Nice post Frosty and good follow up Eberly.

The problem is color, but green isn't a race.

I call on everyone to STOP this nonsense. Including those Dems that support McCain over this "issue" they have. This reminds me of the Dems where I grew up. The Dem Sheriff in the County allowed and put up with the KKK doing cross burnings year after year. It took the first elected Repub Sheriff to stand up to those clowns and when they knew from him that they weren't welcome...their burnings ended and they never came back for their little festivities.

Sadly that in the 21st century a persons skin tone is used to define them.

we all know that you and others of your ilk are referring to skin heads and anyone from here down south and rightwingers
but have you forgotten about all the signs held by black people trying to tell us that obama was supported by the kkk at that speech this week?
so is that racsicm? or not?

It seems like this post if full of racist knowingly or unknowingly (especially Johnson).

However, people seem to forget that crime and violence is an affliction of poverty, not race. Many examples are seen throughout the world, such as Argentina (Hispanics), the Czech Republic(Whites), Eastern Europe(Whites), and Africa(Blacks).

Therefore, it is completely racist to present arguments that link only race to criminal culture. There are plenty of 'white trash' (an offensive slur that many whites use against other whites).

However there is a phenomena with these "white trash". Even though they are in the social and economic lower class, they seem to support the ideology of the Republican party (which undoubtedly supports the wealthy over the poor). Also, their test scores on standardized tests are significantly lower than the mean. Many of these "white trash" suffer the same social problems as blacks, such as unplanned pregnancies and abortions (Bristol Palin comes to mind).

What does this say about racial inclinations of these people?

That with a shave and a haircut, they can pass for the type of republicans they aspire to be.

The KKK, and many people on this board, are perfect examples of why some political speech should be banned. The First Amendment was never intended to allow people to spew hatred. People like dean_buvia should be rounded up and thrown into re-education camps. If they cannot be properly re-educated, they should be exterminated. Hopefully when Obama is elected and we get the KKK out of the Oval Office, we'll finally make progress in this area.

Uhhh, blowstoomuch, your fakery is quite transparent.

from the aforementioned historical letter:

"And that political machine according to historians, was the Democratic Party - the party of "White Supremacy.""

We can stop haggling. Ride On knows a Repub sheriff who stood up to The Klan when the Demo sheriff didn't. Obviously that's the ultimate proof that Repubs are not bigoted. herm

Whatever you say sense.

Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings on Wednesday warned two minority groups to beware of Sarah Palin because "anybody toting guns and stripping moose don't care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks."

Hastings, who is black and a Democrat, made the comment in Florida at a panel discussion hosted by the National Jewish Democratic Council. The group recently criticized Palin's invitation to an anti-Iran rally held during Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinajad's visit to New York to speak before the U.N. General Assembly.

Hastings was explaining what he intended to tell his Jewish constituents about the presidential race.

"If Sarah Palin isn't enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention," Hastings told the audience, which burst into laughter and applause, according to individuals present.

Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella declined to comment. The Republican Jewish Coalition strongly condemned Hastings' statements.

"The Republican Jewish Coalition strongly condemned Hastings' statements."

Both of them?

Still smarting from the fact you couldn't find an article which agrees with your 'tax cuts increase revenue' meme and includes inflation, eh?

Still smarting from the fact you couldn't find an article which agrees with your 'tax cuts increase revenue' meme and includes inflation, eh?

Only in the little box you live in danforth. I am smarting from a troll like yourself. I give the government numbers and you claim it is bullshit because the numbers didn't factotr in x,y or z. As usual it had nothing to do with the point. Just another trolling opportunity. We get it danforth. You are the authority when it comes to finances or taxes. By all means prove what a big shot you are and continue to mock what others perceive as experts. Although it would sure be nice if there was anything published or written by you proving you are more qualified.

For the listing of 3 'attributes:'

#1. As defined above - Blacks (in America) cannot be racist. Better terminology would be to refer to 'bigotry' - as that exists in all races, creeds, and colors.

#2. More than one scientific study has shown that Blacks (in general) have a denser muscle mass than Caucasians and a higher ratio of fast-twitch muscle fiber. This explains (to some extent) their general predominance in sprints and lesser ability at water events (proportionally more of their energy is expended in assisting their reduced buoyancy.)

#3. Several studies have explored the problems with the SAT (and similar standardized) test(s) as they relate to cultural differences.

No - I cannot locate the references (2 & 3) at the moment, and therefore, I would expect the assertions to be viewed with some suspicion. However, I recall them quite clearly, including some more specific findings.

"what others perceive as experts."

Only a fool would look at two years' raw dollars only and conclude those were the only two relevant numbers, proffered by experts.

"I give the government numbers and you claim it is bullshit because the numbers didn't factotr in x,y or z."

You gave a press release from a White House who's only hope is idiots who couldn't pass an Econ 101 test actually believing that and passing it on. And your other link didn't even address the issue. But because the folks with the agenda were Republicans, you eat that shit up with a spoon.

If you compared 1900 dollars with 2008 dollars and didn't factor for inflation, you'd be wrong...same as 2000 vs 2008.

Try this: call your local community college, and ask for an Economics professor. Tell him you want to compare two different years, but you don't want to count inflation.

Then time how long he laughs in your face.
