Bipartisan Guilt

Republican Senator Sam Brownback and Democaratic Senator Tom Harkin pooled their collective guilt to come up with a senate resolution that apologizes for the slavery of African Negroes by American Caucasians, not unlike a similar measure passed by the House last year.

Consider these words by the writer Zora Neale Hurston:

My ancestors who lived and died in slavery are dead. The white men who profited by their labor and lives are dead also. I have no personal memory of those times and no responsibility for them. Neither has the grandson of the man who held my folks… I have no intention of wasting my time beating on old graves. I do not belong to the sobbing school of Negroes who hold that nature somehow has given them a low down dirty deal and whose feelings are all hurt about it… Slavery is the price I paid for civilization, and that is worth all that I have paid through my ancestors for it.

If "Socialist" is a code word for "Black" then...

Lewis Diuguid: Shameless Obamanist Race-Baiter

Communist must be a code word for Barack Obama.

I heard about this newest and most disgusting play of the presidential election Race Card from the Gateway Pundit: Lewis Diuguid, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist writes that the "Socialist" Label Is Code Word For "Black". Obama really brings out the worst in people. Lewis wouldn't know history if it sat next to him on the bus. The good folks in KC ought to be ashamed.

Update: From The Conservative Cat:

Sadly, Mr. Diuguid's analysis tells us more about his state of mind than Senator McCain's. Obama is being labelled as a socialist because of his encounter with Joe the Plumber. Moreover, if socialist is a code word for black, what did it mean when Human Events applied it to John Kerry, and how do you explain the D=S web site?

The Cat also connects this piece of low level journalism to a pattern that labels any and all criticism of Obama as racism. He goes on to note that, "[w]hile this tactic is used more often by Obama supporters than Obama himself, those supporters are not going to change when he gets in the White House. Things could get really ugly."

It would seem the folks responsible for public safety in America's big cities agree about the coming ugliness. See: The Confederate Yankee: Nationwide, Police Begin Bracing For Obama's Defeat, which cite this article in TheHill.

Police departments are preparing for violence might erupt if Obama, the first black candidate for POTUS) loses the election. Socialists are known for rioting when they don't get their way. I'm not using code here either: blacks have never rioted. Not in the 1960's. Not ever. Not for any reason. No sir.

The writer for TheHill, Alexander Bolton, tries to avoid the racist label by suggesting that the police might also be girding their loins out of concern for what Sarah Palin's supporters might do if John McCain and the second woman vice presidential candidate loses. The Confederate Yankee asks: "does anyone really expect women or Republicans to riot if McCain and Palin aren't elected?"

The media is running scared, and its because of those darn socialists.

The Race Card

Barack Obama's Race Card

Breaking News from Michelle Malkin: Barack Obama is half-black. Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius, campaigning for Obama said,

Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American? (Republicans) are not going to go lightly into the darkness.

I think it may be easily considered insulting to call a man half-anything. Barack Obama is all mulatto. He should be proud of it.

Rev. Jackson: Obama telling niggers how to behave

Telling them how to behave

Everyone has heard about Jesse Jackson getting caught on tape saying he wanted to cut Obama's nuts for talking down to blacks. As soon as Fox's creepy Bill O'Reilly said there was more to the tape he wasn't going to play, I figured the rest would be too hot to keep under wraps for long.

The other shoe has fallen, and it was the N-word. Like it would be poison to say it or spell it out. Here's the offending phrase, according to TVNewser:

Barack...he's talking down to black people...telling niggers how to behave.

Conservative blog reactions: Michelle Malkin, Hot Air, Gateway Pundit. Most folks are howling about a double standard. I figure the double standard in matters of racism is a given. What will happen or not happen to the Rev. Jackson as a result will just be another example of it. Everyone already knew Jackson was a race racketeer. Whats new besides it being on tape?

As for myself, I'm not afraid of words. If I let words hurt me, all it means is that I'm weak. Likewise it would be a weakness if I were to be afraid to use words. Remember the "He said Jehova" scene from Monty Python's The Life of Brian? I try not to be uncivilized or vicious in my use of language, but I'm not going to pussyfoot around the facts.

The fact is, Jesse Jackson said the black folks Obama "talks down to" are niggers. He didn't say n------s, n—s, n*****s, niggaz or call them the N-word. He said they were niggers. I wonder if they'll take it without a fuss.

Updated: Al Sharpton, America's hardest working racism hustler, weighs in. CBS News reports Al's disappointment, "I think this certainly does not reflect the Reverend Jackson that we all know and love". The article concludes that "the question is whether the use of the N-word by an African-American to another African-American, talking about African-Americans is offensive." What?

Jesse Jackson goes for Barack Obama's testicles

Racist scam artist Jesse Jackson says he wants to cut off Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama's nuts for suggesting that black kids should stay in school and forget about becoming rap stars. Fox has the video and the story has spread like a California grass fire.

Look for Jesse to wind up under Barry's big bus. "That's not the Jesse Jackson I knew."

Does Jesse carry a knife? Perhaps he would bite them off, like a Laplander. No, he specifically said "cut". Even metaphorically, the notion gives me the willies.
---
Someone should have 'cut' Jesse before he could sow his seed so far and wide. Remember this?
---
There was more "trash talk" from Jesse Jackson caught on the same tape, but Fox wouldn't air it. If the shoe were on the other foot, and a McCain supporter were caught saying such things by CNN or CBS, do you think it would have been withheld?
