Backlash: The Race-Baiters Get Carded
My favorite line from The Simpsons, FOX’s long-running comedy:
Play the race card … play it!
Homer Simpson demands it from his lawyer as a court case against Simpson appears all but lost. It’s a great line because our yellow-skinned hero got himself into his predicament — and it had nothing whatsoever to do with race, of course. It’s not unlike the comedy act coursing through the public square today — except I’m not laughing. And neither are countless other Americans being broadly accused of racism for daring to critique black politicians.
The perils of using the race card are plentiful. For starters, you typically need some sort of proof to back up your statement, otherwise the charge could blow back. But if you’re a liberal, that doesn’t always apply. Sometimes, all the proof required is that the person in your cross hairs used “coded” language, which too often is code for “nothing that was said was actually racist in nature, but I’m gonna read something racist into it all the same.” New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd couldn‘t be bothered to find the racist code word in the “you lie“ declaration made by Republican Congressman Joe Wilson. She simply invented a racially tinged word from whole cloth to make her case.
Another problem with the race card is timing. Like any card in a deck, it must be played at precisely the right moment, when you‘re stuck with an untenable hand. Said moment could be days before an important election, prior to a hotly anticipated debate, or even as a way to halt sliding poll numbers. Those playing the race card on President Barack Obama’s behalf today won’t help Democrats in the 2010 elections, let alone 2012, a time when President Obama might really need it if he’s in a tough re-election fight. Suffice to say, those playing the race card of late — New York Governor David Paterson, HBO talker Bill Maher, Dowd, and former President Jimmy Carter — are all ignoring the rules.
Paterson kicked off the latest race-card movement, declaring that attacks on his governorship were racially charged. He added that the country’s racists would be turning their sights on President Obama next. Others quickly followed suit, from “libertarian” Bill Maher to opinion columnist Clarence Page. Heck, maybe it’s better to play the race card than to defend a president who insists his medical overhaul will cover all Americans without costing any extra money. Hope and change — plus a bit of fairy dust.
‘Playing’ the racism ‘card’ is the ultimate act of unwarranted racism in and of itself indeed.
Let’s forget those high poll numbers when 0bama started fresh into his presidency. Right? No racists there…
Well, until…dun-dun-dun
people woke the frick up and saw 0bama beyond color (since he DID run his campaign on RACE) and for his whack, radical beliefs!
Oh NO! Say it ain’t so, home-slice!
Does racism exist? Just ask the Mexicans what they think of Black people and visa versa for starters.
Yes. Racism exists and calling ONE whole populace of whites racist is ignoring a HUGE plethora of racism that exists amongst NON-WHITES.
P.S. For the trolltards that frequent here… Here are more of your ‘white racists’ at work:
http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/03/21/18580199.php
I’m glad the author remains lighthearted in the face of these obscene and poisonous slanders. I cannot The wheels really came off for me when Holder’s “nation of cowards” accusation went unanswered by Obama. The Obama zealots are only taking their lead from the rotting fish-head in charge of this national catastrophe : and that is OBAMA himself. He is pure poison for race relations in America. The Dems remind me oi those crack addicted rats who keep hitting the button for their fix. Thing is, the dispensary is plumb out, and it must be very distubing to find the magic word doesn’t work any longer.
Overplaying any tactic will ultimately see it refuted. Baseball players know it well. (“Yeah, he can’t hit the curve ball now, but he’ll learn how if that’s all you throw him.”) It’s certainly true of suprious accusations of racism in political discourse. But the Democrats and their media flunkies are habituated to the tactic, and are unable to wean themselves away from it.
If conservatives can get ahead of the curve on this, by finding a way to preemptively turn leftists’ reflexive use of “Racism!” charges into a blow against them, it will render them speechless, and therefore impotent, until they manage to learn a new trick. Considering how long they’ve leaned on the “Racism!” straw, that could be a gratifyingly long time.
Every person of color knows that all white people are racists. Some whites try to conceal it, and some conceal it better than others, but they fool nobody.
It really is apparent that liberals and the left have lost the healthcare debate. When they are reduced to name calling and making unbelievable charges in hopes of changing the direction of the debate, then you know they’ve lost, and badly too. They are becoming unhinged, and with good reason. For the first time in a generation the democrats hold the House, the Senate, and the White House and they still can’t pass their ultra-liberal agenda. The people really suck when they get in the way of things, right Pelosi and Reid? The liberals just took it for granted that most Americans just didn’t agree with them and tried to steamroll their bills through Congress. And yet, ordinary people from all over this land stood up and demanded to be heard. Well, this can’t be allowed to happen, right Nancy and Harry? So the only recourse left to people like you was to call anyone who dared disagree with you “racists” or “un-American.” The entire democratic leadership should be fired just for pulling this stunt, and they will be in 2010 and 2012. I can’t think of anything that would enrage a person more than accusing them of something they are completely innocent of, and accusing innocent people of being racists is about as low as you can go. I’d like to see how much lower the readership of the New York Times can go because of idiots like Dowd and Frank Rich, not that they have very many readers left to alienate. But, not to worry. If things get too bad at the New York Times I’m sure the democrats in Congress will steer some stimulus money towards them. After all, what are friends for?
I have been called a racist so often for opposing a poltical ideology that it has no meaning to me, when I hear someone referred to as a racist by a leftie I straight away think that the guy must be ok and not racist at all. The lefts have destroyed the meaning of the word racist, there does need to be another definition of racist in the dictionary, something like this:
“A misused insult applied to try to divert attention from the matter in hand…”
First fraud. Then farce. Next tragedy?? Race baiting, once the provenance of the radical left and the professional hustlers (Jackson, Sharpton, etc) has now moved into the Democrat mainstream. Very divisive, and potentialy very dangerous. It risks undoing fifty years of progress.
The President has not helped. In fact he has been shrewdly capitalizing on the controversy. His latest utterance, that racism is not the ‘overiding’ factor motivating those opposed to his policies is disingenuous and clever to a fault. Our first post-racial President should have the guts to stand up and declare that it is un-American, and absolutely unfair to tar those who voice objections to his policies as racists. But, of course, he won’t. He’s too much the Chicago politician.
Ace of Spades has the best take on Maureen Dowd’s amazing ability to hear words of the unspoken variety. From yesterday’s blog:

Yes We Did – No.3 – Just out of curiosity – that must have been a hugely expensive study you conducted. Every “person of color” knows that “all white people are racist”. WOW! Just the empirical data alone would have taken hundreds of years to collect and analize. Who funded your observations and conclusions? May I ask what scientific method was employed? Do you even understand what I am asking? Did you get a grant from ACORN? Here’s the point idiot: for anyone to make a sweeping statement such as yours absent any kind of anything to back it up is a sure sign the accuser is a stinking vile little racist as well. So let me make a sweeping statement in response to yours: I know every black person has been told white people are the enemy. I know that for almost 40 years white people in America have been the targets of hate campaigns because of their skin color. Therefore to protect ourselves from the violence and hatred directed at us for nothing other than our skin color we want nothing to do with you. You really can’t blame someone for protecting themselves from acts of racial “VIOLENCE” can you? But you need protection from “thoughts” you know are there? You are so blinded by HATE you sound like a fool.
People outside the leftest bubble know what’s going on and are not affected by the bogus smear. But watch NBC, the NYT, etc, eventually squirm and yelp as more people stop referring to them as the MSM, but accurately name them the “fringe media.” Irrelevant may describe them even better.
Race hatred has been around for years. There is little we can do about it except continue to point it out and “explain” why its wrong. Sometimes education helps, but mostly, it does not change things, people change things. You can lead a horse to water as they say… and of course the other problem is when you deny its existence like the author here, Christian does. Oh well, the more things change, the more they remain the same eh? Shame.
#1 Delia,
Does racism exist? Just ask the Mexicans what they think of Black people and visa versa for starters.
~~~
Or non-Cuban hispanics in Miami/south-FL what they think of the Cubans in the Miami area. My sister-in-law (from South America) came to absolutely despise them as a whole.
I agree with Ms. Toto that timing is critical in the playing of the race card. So, too, is frequency: the potency of the charge of racism is inversely proportional to the frequency of its use. Leftists seeking to assist Obama by dropping the “R” bomb — it seems to me — are failing on both counts.
Moreover, it is curious that a self-described “post-racial” president would wait so long (as Obama certainly has) to indicate his disagreement with the deplorable tactic. And, even now, he offers only this: that the “overriding reason” for opposition to his policies is not racism.
That is hardly the serious rebuke — much less the full condemnation — of those who stoop to such a despicable level. To me, Obama’s tardiness (coupled with his timid rebuke) indicates that he and his closest advisers actually APPROVED of the sleazy tactic.
Perhaps even initiated it.
I agree with David H. Once again people have ignored the consequences of their actions (as Congress and POTUS are ignoring the consequences of the healthcare bill they have proposed) – by calling anyone with a differing opinion racist, they have so watered down the word that it is now meaningless in its original form. I heard a lady on the radio yesterday describe a relationship between her family (white) and another family (black), their children are friends, they have dined and fellowshipped together. The black father has now accused the white mother of racism due to differences of opinion regarding policies being instituted. She rightly pointed out – “If I am racist, why would I have allowed my children to associate with his and why would I have chosen to spend many hours with them socially?” The proof is in the pudding, a racist would never have invested in the friendship to begin with. Period. Another point that I am sure has been made – I didn’t agree with Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter, either. What kind of racist am I then? A southern-racist? NOPE – I am southern. I guess I am a racist against throwing this country away.
By the way – before you pre-judge ME because I am southern. I am like the lady from the radio – we have friends of many colors, spend time with them, have travelled with them, and have enjoyed years of friendship. Am I a transplant to the south? Nope. I have lived here all of my life. Do I know some racist people? Sadly, a few. Is it hard to tell who they are? Absolutely not. They will look you in the face and tell you (again sadly). BUT – that is the point. If someone is racist (especially from the south), you won’t have to make up words to add on to their sentences – or look for “code words.” they will flat come out and say it. So the race-baiters can stop making up lies. Wait until someone actually says or does something racist before you throw that card. I will largely ignore anything like that regarding the present POTUS because “Wolf!” has been cried too much. The last line of the story reads, “No one believes a liar, even when he is telling the truth!”
“His latest utterance, that racism is not the ‘overiding’ factor motivating those opposed to his policies is disingenuous and clever to a fault.”
Over-riding —– ” to take precedence over; preempt or supersede: to override any other considerations”.
Many people can’t stand this guy because he has political views and favors policies with which they cannot agree. Fair enough. Each to his/her own. That’s just politics when all is said and done, and frankly tomorrow is another day, as someone once said.
I can’t abide this guy precisely because of his personal ‘values’ such as the one displayed by this statement. ‘Over-riding’. As Carla rightfully points out this is a completely toxic and vile formulation. It appears at first glance to be a vigorous denunciation of the ‘racist’ charges, but in actuality, it is nothing of the kind. Rather it is just a more ‘nuanced’ elaboration of that nasty and destructive canard. What the President of ‘some of the people’ really stated was this —- I can’t say that the MAIN reason people oppose my special brand of goodness is RACISM but , it’s IMPORTANTLY there somewhere. WE all know that, but since I am the President, I will make a statement that gets me off the hook but at the same time does absolutely nothing to fundamentally deny the accusations.
I just can’t stand the guy. Not because he’s black —- but because he’s ALWAYS just like this. Always.
A ‘layered’ demagogue.

If being born gay or lesbian gives you Constitutional protection, then being born racist needs to be Constitutionally protected.
If not, these LAWS ARE RACIST, and only meant to protect a select group of people.
@7 Carla
His latest utterance, that racism is not the ‘overiding’ factor motivating those opposed to his policies is disingenuous and clever to a fault.
Excellent.
The desperate race baiting Democrats have no other card to play considering Obama is not a woman, gay, or any other minority; therefore, they are forced to play the race card. Charles Rangel has also played the race card at his town halls instead of answering decent questions about his tax problems & the hypocrisy of him leading the Ways & Means Committee in the Senate. The backfire has begun long before the clueless Democrats got wind of it.
Obama’s race-baiting shall ramp up a Cold Race War, and no African American will get elected again.
Playing the race card is just another form of ad hominem attack that will back fire. It damages the leftist agenda pushers, because it shows they can’t logically advocate for their position and persuade the public. They have to resort to name calling and verbal bullying when they can’t persuade. It is literally a childish form of response.
Look at the marxist/lefty trolls who comment hear. Every one of the usual suspects has at one time or another called conservatives or anyone who disagrees with their position “stupid”. They can’t market their ideas effectively so they name call. It’s below adolescent and the public sees right through it.
There are a few wacko racists who resent the President solely because he is a person of color. These people are completely pathetic and disgusting as are the black racists who are prejudiced against whites soley because they are white. The bulk of the criticism of the President’s policies has to do with the fact that they are socialist. It has nothing to do with the color of his skin.
Obama and his tactics will set race relations back decades. Calling someone racists because they challenge your ideas is an insult to the brave men and women of all colors who fought for the civil rights enjoyed today. How weak and infantile the great Obama must look to them, the brave ones who faced fire hoses, attack dogs, and when challenging the status quo by attending all-white schools and sitting at the lunch counter, they heard far, far worse than “I do not support the government option for health care.”
Obama should be ashamed, his defenders should be ashamed for using words that best apply to them. Since the administrative is gathering names, sign me up as one person who will not lower my expectations for the Office of the President of the United States because the current man has a tan.
Team Obama, get better ideas and stop whining. The racial “conflict” you are stoking will have no winners.
The real genesis of the race card and race-baiting is to (1) stifle dissent, (2) muzzle free speech, and (3) silence media criticism. The “race card” is but a tool in the Left’s arsenal in its assault on our freedoms. At this point, it is meaningless rhetoric that serves only to insult honest Americans who work hard, pay taxes, exhibit genuine concern for their neighbors (instead of the “false” concern of the Left’s politicians and policies), and teach their children that all men and women are created equal.
Those who insist they see racism at every turn are actually the racists. Black racism is a virulent cancer in America, and it appears folks are waking-up to this reality.
Should Pelosi be afraid? She and her cohorts in crime are afraid, because they see the handwriting on the wall. It’s taken Obama’s and the Left’s aberrant agenda to wake-up this country’s citizens, but better late than never.
All of this crap is also making it difficult to communicate the truth. What do you call an actual racist? What do you call an actual right-wing extremist/terrorist?
Obama is criticized by conservatives, but Nancy Pelosi, who seems to be setting policy for the WH, is downright DESPISED.
Oh, and she’s white.
Because we’re all racists.
Let’s cut Ms. Garafalo some slack. Being the national buffoon is one thing but volunteering for the post is something else and we should thank her for doing so.
4. Yes We Did:
Every person of color knows that all white people are racists. Some whites try to conceal it, and some conceal it better than others, but they fool nobody.
_____________________________
That makes Obama’s own mother a racist. Right?
Of course we’re white racists. What better example than most of the top earning athletes & entertainers are MINORITIES of African descent (even though they are only about 10% of the population), Micheal Steel is the head of the Republican Party, the writer of TwentyTen the Tea Party theme song is a minority, and we overwelmingly voted a MINORITY of African descent for president. BTW I say MINORITIES of African descent because I won’t hyphenate. You are either Irish, African, Italian, French, etc. or you are an American- you can’t be both. Everyone seems to have grasped that concept except the “African-Americans”.
#4 Yes We Did:
If you substituted the word black for white in your sentence you will have stated a fact.
Yes we did:
“Every person of color knows that all white people are racists. Some whites try to conceal it, and some conceal it better than others, but they fool nobody.”
“All white people are racists.”
Who’s the racist, buddy?
I’ve read that Obama is saying that race has nothing to do with the debate about him initiating the first stages of a government takeover of our healthcare system.
This is appalling. He sends out all his minions to scream racism and then meekly denounces it so he can look to be an even bigger victim than when this whole charade began.
Sorry Barry, I know what your game is and it doesn’t fool me one bit. It may fool Brit Hume, Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer and the like but they are only PC cowards who would throw us under the bus on the first opportunity to come their way. I know that Barack and Michelle are still at heart despicable black liberationists.
It is rather obvious what Obama, Carter and the leftstream media are telling white people. ‘Shut up, and pay your taxes’.
President Obama is also stoking the divisive race card from the White House, although he will deny it; the race card is coming from the head of the dead fish. And Obama is still claiming to be “post-racial”??? The community organizer in chief is the exact opposite: A divisive man who looks to further stoke hatred & cynicism among the weak-minded, weak-willed, & the followers of the Left. Keep playing the race card & watch it turn into a tinderbox…
Carla #7, your analysis, that Obama’s statement that racism is not the ‘overriding factor’ is ‘disingenuous and clever to a fault’ is perfect.
Obama is inserting the view that while racism might not be the ‘conscious’ (overriding) reason for objection to His policies, it exists, lurking, always, in the unconsciousness minds of all ‘white’ Americans. Even if they don’t know it.
This very deliberate action by Obama essentially says that IF you oppose His Will, and he doesn’t like any criticism or opposition..well, IF you oppose Him, it could very well be that you are an ‘in-the-closet’ racist. That’s why you Oppose Him. Remember his last comment on racial issues – ‘the police behaved stupidly’.
This demoralizes and disempowers opposition to His View.
Obama has played the race card all his life; he deliberately manipulates people to reduce opposition and put people in his control. Since Obama’s appearance on the scene, we’ve seen an enormous increse in polarization – all ‘egged on’ by Obama:
political polarization
race polarization
wealth and class polarization
urban vs rural
and.
you are either an ardent follower of Obama..or..you are scum,un-American.
The liberals hoped that the “race oppression” concept will again grow wings in this affair, yet, thanks to the common sense still existing around (exclude college liberal arts departments), the whole thing fell on its face – the agreeable side of this affair being the ever increasing liberal exasperation when they see how their blackmailing ammo has became completely obsolete.
What a fraud! Still, since we need a grasping comment to close this matter I suggest Eric Holders’: “When it comes to race, we’re a nation of cowards.”
Yes, mister Holder, this is so edifying!
The ‘race card’. #1 in the 40 year old playbook of the dims.
From Geoffrey P. Hunt on AmericanThinker.com:
Unlike regular Americans, lefties have never produced anything that works — neither in the private nor public sector. They have no frame of reference to assess whether their new world order will work; they haven’t participated in building what works today. Nor have they ever built any sort of successful competing socio-economic model on any scale to show the rest of us that their future state on a larger scale could work.
There was a guy with a sign at the 912 demonstration in Washington, D.C. that read: “It doesn’t matter what this sign says. You’re going to call me a racist.”
The “racist” term is still in frequent use because it’s an easy way to manipulate people. It has less and less meaning because of its over-use.
How do you explain the people who voted for Obama and now disagree with his policies? Are these voters racists? The people who throw the “racist” term around need to reflect more on what is being said by those with whom they disagree. Calming down and becoming more reflective is more easily said than done, however.
I knew it would pop up on conservative blogs because I knew I wasn’t the only one tired of hearing the whining from the left. Chris Wallace in an interview said he’s never dealt with this many crybabies in his thirty years as a journalist at both ABC and Fox.
I see nothing but a bunch of whining, victims. Pelosi, boo hoo I remember the riots. Obama, boo hoo, Fox disagrees with me. Waters, boo hoo we need to question protesters because they disagree with our president. Its boo hoo hoo all the time. Now its boo hoo they don’t like our president because he’s black, or half black anyway. Ordinary people of every political stripe are getting sick of this display of victimology and poor me BS. The left has become a laughing stock and rightfully so. To their attacks I say keep it up it shows how childish, inept and pitiful your policies are when the only way to promote them is to cry like a baby and call names when someone disagrees with you. From now on any statement I answer from a leftist that doesn’t (or can’t) argue on the facts of their policies (truthfully) gets a Boo Hoo in front of their name.
Yes We Did @ 4 says, “Every person of color knows that all white people are racists. Some whites try to conceal it, and some conceal it better than others, but they fool nobody.”
Well, all those leftist “white racists” certainly did “fool” themselves when they voted last November for a presidential candidate who claimed to be “post racial”. Hope they’re enjoying the fruits of their lunacy as much as the rest of us are.
Doesn’t anyone want to tell the whole truth anymore? There certainly is racism in America today. No, I don’t mean the tiny minority of white skinned people who have low regard for black skinned people because of their skin color. I mean the vast majority of black skinned people who have low regard for white skinned people because of their skin color. People like Obama’s “spiritual mentor” are just the tip of a racist iceberg that desperately needs to melt into the post-racial reality of white skinned America.
I just noticed my toothpaste is racist. I looked at the label and it glorified “whitening” and promised a “whiter smile”. I must be a racist for choosing to buy such a blatantly racist product.
I also noticed that I’m a racist when it comes to choosing toast. I prefer white bread to whole wheat. I know, not only am I a toast racist, but I choose the bad,”non-green”, climate-warming kind of flour.
I’m a racist when it comes to my cat. I said, “Hey, boy, hop on up here.” I said this while patting my hand on the recliner. He did indeed hop up on the arm of the chair – it was then I noticed he has some dark fur – and I called him “boy.” Will it never end? I am just so guilt ridden.
#4 Yes you idiots did. We on the right adore Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Clarence Thomas, and others while we despise Nobama. Where’s the logic in that we are all racists? Oh shoot! You have no idea who those folks are do you? Or that they are black. Sorry, your level of ignorance is impossible to overcome. But hey, you have lots of company on the left.
For those of you responding to $#4 ‘yes we did’…
Guess the ‘shade’ of this persona’s skin.
WHITE
Guess the political affiliation:
LIBERAL
Guess the ‘hidden’ racist message of his/her post:
BS
People of ‘color-other-than-white’ should be fed up to HERE with this kind of crap by now.
HELLO?
# 4 Yes We Did, What is a “person of color”? Does “person of color” include the Mexicans and the blacks in California prisons who must be segregated otherwise they would kill each other? Does it include the gangs in Los Angeles, hispanic and black, who are at war with each other? Does it include the Arab Muslims in Sudan slaughtering black Africans? How about Arab Hamas killing Jews? Hezbollah Arabs killing Lebanese Christians? Turks who slaughtered Armenians? The Japanese who brutalized Nanking? The Hutus who murdered Tutsis? Black African Robert Mugabe who slaughtered black and white citizens and turned his counrty into a living hell? Castro and Guevara who murdered thousands and turned Cuba into a prison camp? Maybe Chavez? Mao who murdered millions? Pol Pot? Kim Jong Il? Idi Amin Dada? Pinochet? The Ayatollahs? The Taliban? Somali pirates? Osama Bin Laden? Muhammad Atta et al.?
Are these “people of color” all pure and benevolent simply because they are not white? Are these “people of color” all redeemed because only whites are racists? Are “people of color” innocent because of their “color”? Can they do no wrong?
Can they all just get along? No they can’t because your “person of color” is a false construct. “Man’s heart is wicked and deceitful”, that includes “men of color”.
Yes We Did, just because you feel your hatred is justified doesn’t make you any less a racist and a bigot.
But, the race issue is real. Obama would not have been elected were he NOT black.
What we are talking about is BLACK RACISM, where every problem, failure or loss of a black person is directly caused by a white or whites.
The hard part is recognizing that there are folks who have gained great power and wealth by beating this black racist drum.
First step in reaching the post racial era? Abolish the Congressional Black Caucus!
Cybergeezer has a great point, tongue-in-cheek though it may be. But, it certainly fit the my-condition-is-your-problem times that we live in.
By the way, in your photo, you appear to be female (an attractive one at that), but the bio indicates you are male. Please don’t take offence at me pointing this out if there is no error and accept my appologies. I have no prejudice towards transvestites. Otherwise, please edit one or the other and ignore my appology.
#42. kdell is absolutely right.
Please somebody tell me where is the racism saying Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Clarence Thomas, et al. that they are fine black gentlemen that serve as a role model to whites and blacks alike and calling Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, Kanye West… well, take your pick.

LOL!
The marxist left seeks to gain power by creating, magnifying and exploiting divisions.
For a long time they used class and economic divisions. Capitalism adapted by lifting up the minimum standards of the poor so they were less prone to listen to marxist preachers.
So the marxist left also adapted and chose race and identity politics as the new battle ground.
It’s a political weapon in political warfare.
#4 and 27:
There’s absolutely nothing wrong nor any racism in that more and more white people are looking for a leader and a party that openly seeks their interests.
One of these days, and it won’t be that long, white people are going to wake up from their brain-washed stupor, flush their white guilt in the toilet and realize that we’ve got to start doing the same thing blacks and all non-whites do, which is start organizing and working along racial lines.
When that happens, we can kiss the worthless GOP goodbye.
The race card has become a joke, a tired worn out cliche used too many times that has lost its effectiveness. At one time it used to be a serious matter to be called a racist, but with Democrats firing scattershot, accusing everyone who disagrees with them of racism it is now mostly a sign of desperation.
It is sad because no reasonable person would say that racism has truly been eradicated completely in this country but Democrats have played the race card so often purely for political purposes that if they ever do come across some real racism no one will believe them.
I just do not understand how being opposed to obama’s policies can be equated to racism. I don’t give a Flying Duck what color his skin is, I don’t like what he’s trying to do to the country. Furthermore, he can’t do anything by himself, he needs congress to approve his actions. I’m not a racist, I’m an anti-socialist. I despise most of congress too, and the majority of them are white.
Dr Martin Luther King proposed the standard: obama’s skin color is not a factor. What matters is his shallow, unsavory character.
I simply tell my most liberal friends that they are by far the most racist group of individuals I know. This is often proceeded with “what are you crazy”. I tell them the following.
You and your counterparts look down on blacks, females,and Latinos. By supporting Affirmative Action you are telling them that they are inferior to everyone else. When I tell women, Hispanics, and black friends this, their heads begin to click. This statement needs to be put out into the media. It needs to be drilled into the media. It will get lots of opposition at first. Over time stronger individuals who would fall under current Affirmative Action will begin to see the justification from the rights view. They will begin to understand that we treat everyone as an equal. That the color or sex of an individual means nothing. Its the ability and fortitude that one approaches life with is the guidance to ones success. (someone in country music should put a song out about this) sounds crazy ! but it would turn the heads of America. A video about a black boy who has constant Leftist ideas thrown at him and how the Dems will dig him out. As a man he becomes rejected and destitute. Then show another black boy who works hard, fails and succeeds, stand behinds his family and obtains the dream. The path that all others must follow.
If Republicans need to succeed in 2012 we need to state the principles behind what we stand for. Kinda 9/12
add some ideas
1.We must first acknowledge that the principles behind religion are a base for our beliefs. (all religions) By that I mean we treat the bible as a rule book for one to live their life. This does not mean drill god down everyones throat. I have great appreciation for the commandments and feel they are a great outline to live ones life. Really, if you look at religon from a outside perspective, for most religons, this is the principle behind them. So change the retoric from god god god to principles behind religion. (your god and your church are yours)
2. We must change marrige to civil unions. Lets take the word marrige out of the IRS tax form and replace it with Civil Union. A certificate of Marrige is a form of documentation accepted by the goverment as proof of Civil Union. Put the gay and lesbian debacle behind us once and for all. Let the church handle this. This will no longer be a political agenda.
3. Reform our tax system to a simple sales tax. No income tax. We pay only on consumed products. All under the table money (which is approx 15% of our economy) would be taxed at the consumed end.
4. We need to become the party of reform (true reform)
5. When someone in our party fs up we just simply tell them their time is up
Part of what the libs may be trying to do is distract their own base. Many of them are discontent with compromises in health care, foreign and war policy, etc. Getting them riled up about ‘racism’ may have the effect of unifying them again. It brings the notion to the fore – polarization.
While overuse of the term blunts its effect on moderates and the right, it is still effective with libs, its one of their pedestals they stand on to admire their own moral superiority. And look at us, we’re spending time discussing it, instead of crucial issues. (Actual racism IS crucial, but we have none of that here.)
Keep your eye on the ball. It’s not racism.
People should note that the race-card is being used for a different purpose today than it was before. In the past, the race card was pulled in an attempt, like the Simpson’s case, as a defensive maneuver. Today, the race-card is being used as an offensive weapon. It is not their intention to shut people up with shouts of ‘racist’, but to rally their own troops and to foment extreme racial animus in our nation. The race-card is now used by the left in the same manner that Saddam Hussein used the Kuwaiti oil fields – as the scorched-earth mechanism that will burn everything to the ground if they don’t get what they want.
Be very aware, the audience for the left’s calls of ‘racism’ these are blacks, not whites. The left is looking to threaten all of society. This is an ominous change and people should be aware of it, because the left is pushing to have our cities aflame, just like the Kuwaiti oil fields.
So, any American who opposes Obama is a racist? What do these race-baiters think will happen next time a black candidate runs for office? That person will lose votes because the electorate will not want to go through this again. The irony is rich, and there are consequences to untruths. Fewer black candidates, no matter how qualified, will be elected. Well done Carter, Dowd, Herbert, Pelosi, Patterson et al. Who is keeping the black person down now, it ain’t us, its you.
#12. Better yet, ask a black from the south side of Chicago what he thinks of blacks from the west side and vice versa. Then ask both their opinion of the recent immigrants from Africa who live around the Uptown neighborhood.
POOR CITIZEN:
The issue is not the presence or absence of racism, it is the broad smearing as racists anybody who disagrees with his Lordship. This may be a bit too nuanaced for you, but there it is. Try to digest that.
DOUGF:
‘It’s (racism) importantly there somewhere’? Really? You’ve done a poll, have you? Adequate sample size, etc? Or like that Atlanta Constitution harpy, Cynthia Tucker who recently opined that 45 – 65% of those who participated in the Tea Parties were racisits, you just make up a number to satisfy your fantasies? The game has changed, friend Doug, and you are going to be held responsible for whatever you state as fact.
I have news for you, most blacks are racist. They really can’t stand each other. The key word that is used is that the person being condemned is “ghetto”. There are others, but they will even differentiate according to the skin tone. As to those of Spanish decent. The majority of the ones that I know can’t stand blacks to the point that they will avoid cities in which they predominate. So, yes, racism is alive and well and will continue to be so until blacks get over the major chip on their shoulder and demand elimination of the laws and rules that make them different or special from the rest of us. They have had plenty of time to put slavery behind them and there has not been any official discrimination in 50 years. What they need to consider is that if they don’t join the rest of the population and accept a color blind society, then the pendulum will swing back and the 30′s will return.
What’s the old saying, when you have noting to say you call names, yeah that’s it.
The whole Obama as god thing has blown up in the faces of the left, all they have left is to spit out the hate they always found so difficult to restrain.
Besides, calling somebody a racist is an attempt to give themselves a moral credibility they don’t deserve.
ETAB and CARLA
right on.
the discussion could be considered the coming race wars.
the liberal definition of racism …by example ..the kind that carter shows …backed by arab dollars
the kind that van jones shows
the kind obama/gates/wright/the missus, michelle obama shows.
then there is the jesse jackson/al sharpton style.
don’t forget acorn twist.
…and they all have in common ..get whitey …tax him and screw him over.
it is a war they are winning.
“Every person of color knows that all white people are racists. Some whites try to conceal it, and some conceal it better than others, but they fool nobody.”
How racist.
First, what shade of “color” IS “white”? Outside of an albino that actually looks rather pink, I don’t know of any white people. I have read that the original human “race” was black, and if that’s true, who the heck IS “white”?
Every single person is prejudiced and has preferences, usually based on what they are used to…”whites” against lighter “whites”, “blacks against darker “blacks”, browns against darker browns, small nosed against big nosed, skinny against stout, short against tall…to say any person’s prejudice is merely racial is absurd and short-sighted.
Maybe one is insecure about the shade of one’s skin. That doesn’t translate that certain others care about the color of your skin. They may hate you for being shorter, instead.
I think the reaction to the O.J. verdict showed everyone who the real racist are.
I totally disagree with the author! (who I like and respect)
I think the race card being played by left at this time has NOTHING to with Obama, health care, or future elections.
Last week ACORN came under attack and the race card was played immediately.
Last week was establish all white people as racist. Next week the attack against ACORN will be portrayed as racist. If that is true, the card WAS played with perfect timing.
Of course, jIMMY cARTER and MSM columnist did not decide when to attack but only attacked when ordered. The interesting question is who made the decision to play the card at this time. Fortunately we have the pajamas media and others who operate in the same way to find answers to questions like that.
to Pat in Boston (#46): The woman pictured is Maureen Dowd, NYT.
It’s working. And it’s working because it’s true. And the majority of Americans know that. And every time you get together, we’re reminded of it. And you can’t stop it. Because you can’t help yourselves. And I love it.
while I largely agree with your takedown of carter, dowd, and Garofalo, you’re not adressing some of the stonger arguments of racism within the conservative opposition.
the displays of racism at the tea parties has been shocking–obama as a witch doctor with a bone through his nose, “obama, your massa on his new plantation”, Obama depicted as a monkey, etc–and the subjective unsubstantiated retort by conservatives that such displays represented a small minority are undermined by pols showing a huge % of republicans give credence to birther conspiracy theories…a concept very hard to detach from xenophobia (though not impossible).
Rep. Jean Schmidt was caught supporting birther theories as did rep Bill Posey among others. tea party organizer mark williams called obmama an “Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug and a racist in chief.” i could go on.
Where I work we use the term racist as a joke, calling anything and everything racist for the absurdity of it.
The term racist carries about the same weight as calling someone a fart head.
And the last 8 months have helped drive the term into the ground.
If you are out of arguments with reason and logic, call the opposition racists. Now that the corruption and incompetence of the Obama Administration becomes more apparent with each day, we are left with a clueless demagogue screaming Racist in desperation.
Fear of being called a racist was a major factor in the election of an incompetent to the presidency. Now because of the obvious corruption and bigotry of the Obama Administration and the overuse of the term racist, the Black Race has wasted an opportunity to build upon the advances of the Civil Rights Movement. Instead of Obama setting forth men of integrity, we have suffered through radical ideologues, criminals, tax cheats, and a pervading Marxist Influence.
The Black Race has wasted a grand opportunity for the advancement of Civil Rights and America itself by championing an incompetent, America hating Demagogue, who is enmeshed deeply in the corruption traditions of Chicago Politics.
To answer these obvious failings, a clear thinking administration would get rid of the incompetents, criminals, and miscreants in the administration; thus to try and salvage a measure of dignity for the office of the Presidency, The United States, and the Black Race. Instead we have the Obama Race Baiters standing in an impotent and sanctimonious rage screaming Racist.
Thus Obama has not only sold out America, he has also betrayed the Black Race to implement his vague and dubious ideas of a Marxist Dystopia
@67. Manju,
0bama could tell the birthers to all STFU by allowing his long form birth cert to be shown rather than FIGHTING its release LEGALLY.
HELLOOOOO?
Echo

@66. N&T,
Which shade of skin and/or political affiliation tells blacks that they are race traitors if they become conservatives?
Who tells black people they are too ignorant to get an education on the same merits as ‘white’ folks?
Who tells black people they are trying to act ‘white’ if they speak with proper English and diction?
Who wanted abortion to control the black population?
Tic Toc…
So many well though out points in the many posts on this topic.
The lefties are desperate to maintain their various constituencies and racial differentiation is a key element. What they fail to realize is that playing the race card is going to alienate moderates and independents who backed candidate Obama. Employing the race card by broad brush is a strategic error.
The socialist/marxist types have suffered through a bad couple of months. The ACORN revelations, health care nationalization rejection, Van Jones resignation, Rangel’s tax debacle and the other screw ups that they have caused exclusively by their own hand are sapping the vigor from their efforts to transform the United States into a European style welfare state. This must be tremendously frustrating given that they have complete control of the government and the legacy media. The time has come in their minds to lash out with the racism charge. This tactic is destined to fail and cause the lefties to become further isolated.
When you completely control the government and your political ideology and tactics are being rejected by a majority of Americans, it has to be highly embarrasing.
Manju – 1) “Witch doctor” is not essentially racist, it’s being used as a statement that Obama doesn’t have a clue about what he’s selling the American people regarding healthcare. Think snake-oil salesman. Witch doctor. Same thing. You don’t like it because Obama is half black and actual African witch doctors are black? Sorry. Go tell the African witch doctors, if you can find any left, that wearing a bone through the nose or a bowl in their lip is “racist”. Snake oil salesmen were usually white. I imagine dressing up or portraying a sleazy character which was usually white, is not racist, but protraying a character which is usually black, is racist. Well, another example of the double standard employed by “persons of color” advocates. (An unscientific, archaic and racist grouping of people, by the way)
2)Bush was portrayed as a Chimp for 8 years by the Left. Objecting to Obama being portrayed as a monkey, now? Sorry, the Left asked for it. Don’t tell me it’s okay to call white people “monkey” but half-white people must never be insulted this way. That is an admission of racism on your part. I’ll explain. When The Left and people with similar hangups react with cries of racism when seeing this analogy, it exposes the way they think. It’s their own latent racism that recoils when likening Obama to anything remotely similar to the way Bush was portrayed. Why is that? It’s like calling a nominally intelligent person “stupid”, versus calling a mentally retarded person “stupid”. Kindness and good-manners instinctively tells us that “You just don’t insult where it’s too close to home.” Laughing for 8 years at Bush being called a chimp, and then reacting with shock and horror when the Dem candidate (who happens to be half-black) is called a monkey, sends the message that “Obama really is closer to being a monkey than Bush ever was.” and therefore it’s no longer fair and no longer funny, and off-limits. It’s as if you are reflexively saying that Obama really is too much like a monkey to be compared to one pejoratively, when it was fine for Bush, because he’s white. Something inside of you feels that it’s going too far, because of your own hangups regarding race.
I suggest one way to deflate the sting of the word “racist” is to preempt it by changing it’s meaning. Everybody start wearing a t-shirt depicting a stock race car with the words “NASCAR RACIST.” Or “I’m a racist — I like NASCAR.”
I wonder if 67. Manju: was also so horrified and scandalized when everyone, including the so called PC “sensitive” media, were calling President Reagan’s “Voodoo Economics”?
Or was Manju equally hysterical when they compare W Bush to Hitler burning his effigy looking like the dictator?
So because Obama happens to be black people have to walk on eggshells?
Manju seems to be the typical brow beaten and brainwashed American petrified and paralyzed with the fear to be called a racist.
Americans have been so brainwashed, downcast and demoralized about racism (except when it is practiced against whites) that you can call them thieves, liars, incestuous degenerates and it rubs off them like dust on a CD, everything is cool and dandy.
But the minute they are called “racist” they start sweating like a false witness and they fall completely apart and come unglued like a banana crate made in China.

Bitter, lonely person.
Manju (#67), you’re part of the brainwashed & you are not even aware of it! There were no over-arching racists at the 9/12 rally; you have taken the spin from MSM & absorbed it without even realizing it’s not true. The MSM is looking to downplay the successful 9/12 rally since millions of people showed up.
After saying that ‘racism’ is not the ‘overriding reason’ for rejection of His Policies- which suggests of course that it nevertheless DOES exist as an unconcious reason..Obama went on to say that there are ‘people who just don’t like government’.
Ahhh..now it’s clear. Obama refuses to acknowledge that people who are, heh, just as smart and maybe even smarter than The Great One’s narcissism can acknowledge..might be agaist his policies. Obama simply cannot fathom how anyone can reject Him or His Policies.
So, he admits that racism might be an ‘underlying’ (not overriding) factor…but..the reason could very well be that these people are equally demented;..they are against, not skin colour..but government.
Obama refuses, absolutely refuses, to admit any legitimacy to dissent, criticism of His Policies.
Then, He went on to align himself with Other Presidents who brought in change, and suggested that people are merely afraid of change.
So- according to the Great One, you can only be against Him, if you are, underlying, a racist; or, against government,or, against change.
The FACTS – that people can be against Obama’s policies because they are unconstitutional, and/or badly thought out, unworkable, deficit-producing, costly, pork-filled, intrusive, taking power away from Congress, etc..Obama simply can’t accept such criticism.
No, with Obama, you can only be against His Policies..not because there is anything wrong with Him or His Policies ..and remember, he’s a pathological narcissist..and can’t accept criticism…You can only be against His Policies because there is something wrong with YOU.
You are racist, or against government or against change. You, my dear, according to the Great One, are the one with the problems. Not Him or His Policies. The ignorance and arrogance of Obama is boundless.
#67 Manju: Hey, I thought “welfare thug” was a badge of honor for Dems/liberals. Did I miss a memo? LOL
I am so fed up with idiots bleating “you’re a racist” all the time.
Yep, my very conservative family is (of course) very racist. My oldest brother’s best friend is a black man and he’s been part of the family for almost 40 years. My nieces and nephews call him Uncle. Those little racists!
My youngest brother (that racist pig) is very involved with a beautiful Athabascan Indian woman and I suspect she’ll be my sister-in-law soon.
Me? I’m most certainly a racist – and homophobic to boot. One of my closest friends is Blackfoot Indian and gay.
Yep, we’re haters!
Here’s a joke I like to use on “liberals”.
What do you call a black man flying plane?
They usually answer;I don’t know,what do you call a black man flying a plane?
The punch line: A pilot you racist!
If being labeled a racists means I’m not bending over in the shower for the Democratic party and Obama to run roughshod over me…
………….then I’m a racists.
The word means nothing anymore. We need to stop being afraid to call a spade a spade in this country. It it’s wrong , it’s wrong, no matter the color of your skin. Sorry excuses for failure.
thank you, Gracie the racists.
OK,who broke moho?Our most prolific racist islamophile should be on this thread like stank on moho.
It is incorrect to say that America has an African-American as head of state without somewhere indicating that the head of state is Black(actually mixed or Mulatto) as opposed to being white (Afrikaans of Dutch/German origins).

The race card has expired.
Revolution is Coming to America!!
The POTUS isn’t just black, he’s also white so it’s not about race. “Those that scream the loudest in a room, are the weakest” is what I was once told.
If you get just 1 book this year, for you & a friend, get A Time To Stand by Oliver. It’s great & I got 2 for my friends!! It really tells about what is going to happen nxt in America & how we can ‘make our own history & leave a legacy for our children’. It’s an underground book, but it does show that Americans are united & will do as this small town did & stand up to federal tyranny.
(booksbyoliver.com)
Obama has an Arab name, was born to a white mother and was raised by white people. He may look Black but he’s about as Black (in the African-American sense) as William McKinley. Not that there is any thing wrong with that. But if someone dislikes his policies because they think a Marxist-trained socialist is laboring under American Black influences, well, that is just misguided. Racism is just not on my radar and I can’t see how anyone could honestly get that from anywhere. But I do get one thing. Those on the left smacking down the race card are just not being honest. Oh, what a shocker!
Here’s an excerpt of Burt Prelutsky’s latest article that says it like it is:
“…another thing about which all liberals agree is that America is a racist nation. Up to a point, I happen to agree with them. But, unlike Henry Gates and the Obamas, I think it’s black America that’s racist.
That’s the dirty little secret that nobody is supposed to mention. White Americans are so terrified of being labeled bigots that even most conservatives are loath to speak honestly about something that the majority of us believe.
Blacks have been riding the gravy train of racist politics for years now. For the sin of slavery, which ended over 140 years ago, long before the invention of the electric light, the automobile or even the basketball, they’ve received trillions of dollars in the form of welfare checks, small business loans, affirmative action, Operation Headstart and food stamps. In return, the community, as they like to call it, has given back to America a record number of illegitimate children, violent crime totally disproportionate to their numbers, an academic dropout rate that guarantees the cycle of ignorance and violence will continue unabated, and a constant clamor for more and more in the way of city, state and federal handouts.
If blacks aren’t demanding reparations for the evil done to their great-great-great-great-grandparents, they’re demanding that our presidents constantly apologize for past mistakes. The fact that we now have a black president and that two of the last three secretaries of state were black doesn’t count for anything. They’re like those bratty little children we’ve all encountered in supermarkets who demand every piece of candy in the place and won’t stop screaming until they get it.
The blacks scream about racism, but they’re the ones who have a Black Congressional Caucus that excludes even those rare white congressmen who represent predominantly black districts.
It’s not just white people and white cops they despise, either. Any black person who doesn’t have one hand out demanding a payoff and the other hand holding a club, comes in for their collective outrage. They will celebrate when O.J. Simpson gets off for butchering two white people and go into collective mourning when a freak like Michael Jackson dies of a drug overdose, but people like Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice, Walter Williams, Shelby Steele, Bill Cosby and Ward Connerly are dismissed as oreos and denigrated as not being authentic blacks.
It seems that if you’re not a race hustler like Al Sharpton, Kweisi Mfume, Charles Rangel, Denny Davis, John Conyers, Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, Henry Coates, Earl Ofari Hutchinson, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan or Henry Gates, out there getting rich by promoting black victimhood, you’re an Uncle Tom.
For what these so-called leaders are doing to the black psyche, to ensuring that future generations of American blacks continue to grow up with a chip on their shoulder and nothing but a sense of perpetual grievance in their heart, these people should rot in hell.
I can hear a chorus of people saying, “But surely you’re not talking about all blacks.” Well, of course not. Unlike blacks, I would never generalize about an entire group of people that way. However, when 90 percent of black Americans trooped out and voted for Sen. Obama when he was running against a person with the liberal credentials of Sen. Clinton for no other reason than Obama’s race, it’s safe to assume I’m talking about 90 percent of them.
When you get right down to it, the worst thing about cults is that, unlike the Jonestowners, they so rarely drink the right blend of Kool-Aid.”
Barack Obama (subtly and not so subtly) uses the tedious race thing as a cover for his own weakness & failings. As did David Paterson.
Listen to Stephen A. Smith for a breath of fresh air.
Mark Levin interviews Stephen A. Smith
“Manju – 1) “Witch doctor” is not essentially racist, it’s being used as a statement that Obama doesn’t have a clue about what he’s selling the American people regarding healthcare”"
Yeah, thats the plausibe denial. look at it this way. 911truthers–most of whom are either leftists (or if we go global) reside in Muslim dominated countries–who believe the US govt allowed 911 to happen in order to justify wars that benefit Israel and did it due to the power of the Israeli lobby, also have plausible denial. its theoretically possible to hold such a theory and be free of anti-semitism. after all, the pro-Israel lobby is powerful, corruption exists, and even Ike warned us about the military industrial complex.
but what re the odds someone holds beliefs that just happen to align with longstanding anti-semitic tropes (the all powerful jew) and its just a coincidence. its more likely they are leftists who resent minority success or are Muslims who happen to be religiously jingoistic, and in denial about the hate within their own culture (as many conservatives are in regards to racism).
likewise, your alternative explanation for the Obama-voodoo imagery, while theoretically plausible, seems equally far fetched. but more importantly, notice how Toto don’t even try to defend the imagery, she just ignored it…which was my original point. after all, if mainstream conservatives start defending vile imagery like the one below, I’ll show you a party that will become reduced to a regional one, if we aren’t already. anyway, here’s the poster…i report you decide:
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/34267_Disgusting_Racist_of_the_Day
“Bush was portrayed as a Chimp for 8 years by the Left. Objecting to Obama being portrayed as a monkey, now?”
look, calling bush a chimp is inane but to say that proves calling obama one isn’t racially coded is ahistorical. blacks have long been reduced to animals, chimps in particular, in historical racist imagery while whites (with the possible exception of the irish) haven’t. likewise, there’s simply no historical racism triggered if one were to call bush a “boy”, “uppity”, or depict the bush white house growing watermelons (as one republican got caught doing). double standards are justified by context.
The sign of a desperate campaign.
The problem is that even though they could save themselves by going back to a more basic health care reform process, they refuse to do so. The stakes are really high. To be honest with you, and I’m a doctor, the issue isn’t really health care at all.
‘
It’s all about the social agenda. And I mean “SOCIALISM” or “Communism”. All businesses are at risk, not just banking, credit industry, auto industry, but every business.
I believe that if the senate tries to use reconcilliation, all the businessed should cry foul and close their doors and threaten to go to Washington, DC if the senate does not back down.
If I am a racist simply by being born a white girl… how come I had to go work for a city police department to learn virtually all the derogatory terms for black people (from Hispanics) and for Hispanics, Native Americans and Asians (all from blacks)?
It continues to amaze me when people today use the racist word on another person. They have NO idea of racism really is until you have witnessed the KKK marching down a main street in a North Carolina town on Saturday afternoon to teach the “N”s a lesson in manners. You don’t know racism until you hear a restaurant owner tell a black person to get the “F out of the restaurant and go to the back door if they want food. You don’t know the meaning of the word racism until a group of KKK members come to your home without their Halloween costumes on, warning your Mom and Dad to stop associating with “N”s. You don’t know the meaning of the word racism until you have watched a black man have his property foreclosed on because he didn’t have $10 to pay for fertilizer and had to sign a note on his land to get it. You don’t know the meaning of racism until you have watched the black high school have to use old, worn out football equipment for uniforms and share helmets because there were not enough to go around. You don’t know racism until the black high schools couldn’t play night games unless they were on Thursdays because the white high school used the recreational facilities on Friday nights.
I grew up with this crap and it was sickening to watch ignorant fools and common trash feel better about themselves by attacking blacks, mentally, emotionally, psychologically, and more often than not, physically. When one stood up for a black friend, getting your ass kicked was not uncommon nor unexpected. My parents raised us to understand that all people are to be treated with respect, no matter the color of their skin, gender, age, or economic status. It was the content of the heart, not the color of skin that mattered.
So, the next time some idiot starts throwing out charges of racism, remind them of what true racism actually is. They have no freaking clue, and never will. The problem with the liberals who draw the racism charge like a gunfighter drawing his pistol, they have no idea of what they are saying or doing. Jimmy Carter is the perfect example of old time racism. Too damn bad the MSM never got around to exposing his lies. But, then, who would pay attention on the left anyway. Senator Byrd of WVA was investigated as a robe wearing member of the same KKK that tried to terrorize my parents but couldn’t.
But, of course, the best way to play the race card is to have a dozen organizations sending out racist material for you and your followers carrying racist posters and then hiding behind a veneer of legitimacy and whining about how you’re being unfairly targetted. There’s a simple cognitive process going on here that assures the white majority will always be listened to when they cry “race-card” over minority groups who rightly point out racism. White people have never been the victims of racism [the hysterical delusions of you people nothwithstanding], but they have been called racists and live in mortal fear that they’ll be called that. This goes double for the white racists who are compelled by their neurosis to contantly draw attention to their ignorance. While they don’t have any way to empathize with non-white victims of racism, they have more than ample ways to empathize with white people scared of being outed as racists.
Obama has an Arab name, was born to a white mother and was raised by white people. He may look Black but he’s about as Black (in the African-American sense) as William McKinley. Not that there is any thing wrong with that. But if someone dislikes his policies because they think a Marxist-trained socialist is laboring under American Black influences, well, that is just misguided. Racism is just not on my radar and I can’t see how anyone could honestly get that from anywhere. But I do get one thing. Those on the left smacking down the race card are just not being honest. Oh, what a shocker!
So if you knew a black person for a while, someone who identified as black and who you identified as black, and someone told you one day that one of their parents was white, you would no longer think of them as black. What’s more you would demand that they stop referring to themselves that way. Indeed, what if it was not the parent, but the grandparent that was white. Would they still be black? Or even the great grandparent? Have you actually ever wondered what race is? And what racism is?
Its pretty obvious you haven’t.
Racism is lazy. Take some time and put a little effort into finding out about a person, then you can hate him and feel good about it.
The sad thing is that there is real and virulent racism in the world. We saw it in Rwanda and the Balkans. I suspect that part of the reason that we’ve become deaf to words like racism and genocide is the dumbing down of what these words mean. Call me paranoid that that is part of the path to holocaust denial. It’s really sad. People might get rhetorical mileage out of throwing the word racism out as an ad hominem and win an argument that way–but the cumulative effect of that cheap trick has been disastrous for our consciousness.
61.”it is a war they are winning.”
wait until the money runs out.
84.mcbride.heh.
i for one,will openly admit i am a racist,i have deep contempt for wide a swath of the white population.they are not hard to identify:
use the term ‘viable fetus’when discussing human life.
live in fear because they are too cowardly to defend themselves-and expect you to do the same.
will readly use minorities as lab animals for their amibituous social projects.-over and over again-regardless of the outcome.
have no qualms about saddling people with their debts who are not even born yet.
mock and demean the very individuals who’s shoulders they’re standing on.
you get my drift…so any WHITE person who fits this description:you are INFERIOR to me,not ony are you a lesser human being…but you are UNCLEAN,so repulsive that i fear i could be infected with your weakness by being near you.
92. Now and Then:
The same people who use uppity
About 99% of the uses of the word “uppity” over the past 8 months have been from Leftists talking about conservatives using the world “uppity”.
My niece and nephew are just as mixed-race as Obama (same mix, too) and I love them and think he’s just a POS in over his head.
Thanks Incitatus, for bringing that to the forum. I wish I could express myself as well as Burt Prelutsky.
We were told the picture is of “Maureen Dowd” translated “she who sees racism everywhere”. What kind of makover did she have? The last time I saw a picture of her, she looked like Mrs. Potatoe Head.
Could it be that botox combined with Zanax is making these leftist women so bizarre? Any research scientists out there?
By the way, Wendell #41 excellent. I got a good laugh.
It’s hard to imagine a logical way of dealing with the Left in America anymore…at least one that might work.
The Scarlet R has, once again, been unleashed by the tired, predictable and rather desperate forces of liberalism in America. Of course, everyone who opposes them is a “racist”.
*yawn*
The gig is up, I think. Everyone is on to their insane little game, as in “EVERYBODY EXPECTS…THE LIBERAL INQUISITION!” at http://firebreathingchristian.wordpress.com/2009/09/19/everybody-expects-the-liberal-inquisition/
Let’s get this bad comedy act off the stage once and for all…
Obama is definitely a racist. He asked Patterson to step down.
Racial tensions are very high, very high. Time for POTUS to start the renaming. Hmmmm War on terror = Overseas contigency operation.
Racist= pigmentous dissentous, unequal opportunists, the war on coloreds, organ confusion, one D visionaries.
You get the picture, all Obama needs to do is rename it-then it won’t exist! Can’t believe he hasn’t thought of that yet, think I’ll write to Holder just to show him I have some good ideas and am not a coward
As an aside, Michelle Obama is playing the gender card which is just as bad as the race card to “sell” Socialist Health-Care.
If you haven’t heard of him before, listen to the black pastor from Haarlem, Rev James David Manning about racism. He deserves our prayers and support.None of these clips are over 10 minutes.

It can get confusing
Whaddaya call it when one man of mixed race (Obama referred to himself as a “mutt”) asks another man of mixed race to not stand for election to the governorship of a state ’cause the first man of mixed race doesn’t want to lose the state to a nasty old Republican ?
(Why is it the President’s business in the first place who runs for governor of New York or any other state ? This is the President who doesn’t want to interfere abroad, but freely interferes when he feels like it, see Israel & Honduras. I guess he feels entitled to direct politics in NY as well.)
As for all the people who don’t speak out and call a nutjob a nutjob because said nutjob is of a darker hue, that’s just silly.
Here, try it, repeat after me:
“Many of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus are nutjobs. Sitting Congresscritters, John Conyers and Maxine Waters are especially extreme nutjobs.”
It’s not hard !
* Lili von Shtupp’s point in #103 above is very well taken
As an aside, Michelle Obama is playing the gender card which is just as bad as the race card to “sell” Socialist Health-Care.
Both Obamas are fudging “healthcare” stories to sell their shtick.
In his address to Joint Session of Congress, Obama said:
“One man from Illinois lost his coverage in the middle of
chemotherapy because his insurer found that he hadn’t reported gallstones that he didn’t even know about. They delayed his treatment, and he died because of it.”
In fact, that individual didn’t die. He lived another four years & had gotten his coverage back after a couple of weeks.
Michele has been out there (finally given something to do besides grow vegetables and wear designer clothing !), and we have this Obama mis-alignment, involving a story about their own daughter, Sasha.
Obama fudging another health-care horror story?
What I find entertaining about this debate is the way Garafalo and Maher will decry conservative rasism and then call them ignorant crackers and mentally deficient rednecks. Amusing… but I’m not sure they get the joke.

You gotta do better than that. You came. You saw. You bloviated.

bloomergal:Rev James David Manning?
he recently opined that the NRA and white people were going to riot in black neighborhoods because they helped elect obama.HILARITY-i laughed all the way through it.
66. Now and Then:
It’s working. And it’s working because it’s true. And the majority of Americans know that. And every time you get together, we’re reminded of it. And you can’t stop it. Because you can’t help yourselves. And I love it.
A person who loves racism. Well cool. If you manage to get a race war going with your hate I’m siding with the people who have the guns.
You know – I didn’t march in the 60s for this crap.
Q: What does President Obama have in common with mass murderer Charles Manson?
A: Both men are race-baiting racists. President Obama, the Democrat Party Leftists, & countless “journalists” with the fringe media are fanning the flames with the racism charge with no basis in fact; likewise, a drugged out ex-convict, Charles Manson, brainwashed several impressionable young men & women, in the guise of free love during LSD trips, to become soulless murdering machines in the name of “Helter Skelter,” the name taken from The Beatles White Album for a race war Manson wanted to be the winner as society collapsed in the confusion. President Obama, like Manson, seeks to destabilize society with his several false “crises” as he attempts to expand the Executive Branch for more power. However, like Manson, Obama is an incompetent leader & bound to be consumed by the very flames he has stoked.
Yes We Did @ 4 says, “Every person of color knows that all white people are racists. Some whites try to conceal it, and some conceal it better than others, but they fool nobody.”
White is a color also. In fact it is the presence of all colors. I am so very tired of being called a racist just because I am white and I can think for myself and disagree with bad policies. I was raised a military BRAT. There is no room for racism in the military. I was not raised to be a racist, but rather to judge people on the merits of their character, the goodness of their hearts and the nature of their deeds. I do not suffer from “race guilt’. My great grandparents came as legal immigrants to this great country.
I could not, in good faith vote for Obama, because in him I saw a racist of the first order and a political neophyte with little or no character or experience. This information was garnered from his own statements and the facts. It would be ironically amusing if it were not so tragic, that the Democrats have put a racist in the White House. How DARE they now play the “race” card! Racism works both ways.
Political Character: Mark me “Present” …where does the character or deeds show here?
Obama in his own words:
From Dreams of My Father:
‘I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.’
‘I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.’
‘There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white.’
‘It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.’
‘I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.’
From Audacity of Hope:
‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’
The officer acted “stupidly”…………A Freudian slip of great magnitude….What ever happened to “innocent until proven guilty?” This from our “Commander in Chief” no less!
The race card is a distraction used to prevent us from discovering the real issues. Do not get distracted by this and other ploys.
If people really want to understand what all the Govt. bills and deficit spending is about, then check out the following and discover for yourselves the real leftist agenda; “The Constitution Class” series of videos by Michael Badnarik. Here is the first one….
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5085838350268647159&ei=sELlSfjQBYKGqQPE3O36Aw&q=michael+badnarik&emb=1#
Google for the others. There are 7 of them, each approx. an hour long. You can download them also for sharing. Send all the links to your Congresspeople and remind them of the oath that they took to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
I learned more about our Constitution and our country from these videos than I ever learned in school or in my whole life. I am now past 50. Once I finished the series, I then looked to what Congress was doing with the stimulus, cap and trade, and health care. My eyes have been opened wide and I now can understand all that Mr. Beck and Fox news has been trying to show us and what the dangers truly are. I think that these videos should be required viewing for all High School students across the nation. Especially now as they will be the “new voting base” in 2010. If your local teachers will not show them in your schools, see perhaps about obtaining Mr. Badnarik as a speaker in your hometown. Share the above link with everyone you possibly can. If I tell two friends, who tell two friends….etc.
To go about saving something, first you have to know what it is you are trying to save and why it matters so much! Educate our children, as they are the future of this, our country. I can now state that I am proud to be an “American Citizen” and not a “U.S. Citizen”. Watch the videos to know what the difference between the two are, and why, because it is so very important to the future of this, our magnificent country!
i once took an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. does that make me a racist? if it does then i gladly say i’m a racist
The race card is most likely being used because:
“United we stand and divided we fall”.
The progressives are trying to divide us in order to “fundamentally” change America. Fomenting racial violence and riots are the most expedient and volatile way to do it at this time. The big surprise to the progressives is that the American people are waking up to the real nature of these “fundamental changes”, saying no, and definitively deciding to stand “UNITED” against these changes.
They do not know how to deal with this, so they are trying their best to provoke race riots and violence. Pelosi hinted at such in her address…why?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26dXc8TfAv0
If this violence does come about, then Marshall Law can perhaps be declared. In that case, then some of these executive orders can go into effect and they are really scary in the wrong hands. Read what it says at the very end:
http://www.disastercenter.com/laworder/laworder.htm
In the words of Rahm Emanuel “Never let a good crisis go to waste” (even if you have to create it yourselves perhaps.) Yes, the Liberal progressives keep fanning that “race” thing.
“Obama is definitely a racist.”
Considering his long association with a “church” that was rather obviouly racist, you certainly have to consider the possibility. As a matter of fact, it’s kind of hard to imagine how one could be a member of this “church” for many years and NOT be a racist.
http://www.newsmax.com/kessler/Obama_Church_Racism/2008/01/07/62285.html
CNN is using a report on Dave Matthews to push the racism meme as well. This is getting beyond stupid.
Sebastian Shaw -
They’re desperate, not even waiving the corpse of a Kennedy around helped them. What can they do except yell racism and hope riots break out? Without a crisis or pity party to blind people with, they don’t have anything and now the majority of the population realize it. They’re dying to have riots, and that’ll be the next topic for the democrat pundits, talking about, “how long will black people put up with this before they blow up”.
Regards
It’s obvious that racisim is alive in this country. If not for the racisits, Obama would have elected unanimously and we would all be basking in the “radiant glow” of the “fundamental change” he wanted to perpetrate on us. But really, this is a distraction to cover for the lack of an intelligent argument for turning our country further towards socialism.
Thanks for a concise essay, Ms. Toto.
@11
“Oh well, the more things change, the more they remain the same eh? Shame.”
You’re just racist.
@66
“And it’s working because it’s true.”
Another racist spouts off.

“You peoplel”
“You people?” What do you mean by that. We all know that’s just a code phrase, you racist.
122. Now and Then:
69. Steve Sampson:
“If you are out of arguments with reason and logic, call the opposition racists.”
That explains Glenn Beck, don’t it.
I usually don’t respond to trolls, but your command of the English language warrants a response.
No, I don’t think an explanation of Glen Beck is as simple as you imply. Glen Beck has just eviscerated Acorn with the help of two college students and Breitbart. He has embarrassed Obama to the point that the President is distancing himself from the Corruption of Acorn, after depending on their support for his election. The corruption of Acorn coupled with the ineptness and corruption of the Obama Administration leaves the door wide open for an investigative journalist, with nerve and creativity, to make a mockery of the sanctimonious bumbling of a fraud like Obama.
The expose of Obama’s Associates has only just started, it will be amusing to watch the corrupt politicians wriggle like bleeding worms on a fishing hook.
Being unafraid to expose a Black Liberation Marxist, along with the corrupt and incompetent fools that have accompanied him into the White House does not mean that someone is a racist; but rather, that he is unafraid of the inevitable epithets of race baiters and morons who are incapable of reasoned argument and debate, who in desperation, resort to name calling, the lowest form of verbal expression, to express their impotent rage.
So, you may rage on, “Now and Then,” but, you may rest assured that your childish and pathetic rants accomplish nothing more for you, than a measure of pity from these patriots; in the mean time, you re-enforce the necessity of maintaining sound Conservative convictions, while indirectly supplying a sense of confidence, as they carefully measure the abilities and standards of the opposition, mainly the outspoken simpletons like yourself.
#4 “Every person of color knows that all white people are racists. Some whites try to conceal it, and some conceal it better than others, but they fool nobody.”
So all white people are racist? What the hell is a “white” person?
I’m a color person how come I don’t know that as fact.
Where is your proof? white person -> racist
Are you implying that if you are not “white” you can’t be a racist? !white person -> !racist ?
Making such rubbish statement with no proof makes you look very ignorant …. =(
135. Steve Sampson:
“If you are out of arguments with reason and logic, call the opposition racists.”
That explains Glenn Beck, don’t it.
OK . . . Now, I was referring to Glen Beck saying Obama had a deep-seated hatred for white people and that the president was a racist. See the connection? Between the post I was commenting on and my comment? See how that works? See how they’re, you know, connected No? That’s not my problem.
“he is unafraid of the inevitable epithets of race baiters and morons who are incapable of reasoned argument and debate, who in desperation, resort to name calling, the lowest form of verbal expression, to express their impotent rage.” That’s Beck calling Obama a racist. Tell me, who has called Beck a racist? Obama? No? Who then?
Here’s your problem . . . you spout off about “sound Conservative convictions” but you have none, unless you consider blind misguided ideological rage a sound Conservative conviction.
race card, racism is used by the media to hype things up a bit. especially those pundits when they’re out of things to say or write about.
and those extreme lefties. that’s obvious.
Playing the Race card is the final refuge of the incompetent.
The thinking of this CIC seems polluted by class & race war ideologies, which, I will continue to argue, are behavioral traits (crutches if you will) characteristic of weak, narcissistic personalities.
I think the country at large has moved on, but people like Obama & Holder didn’t get the memo.
“…the rubric of diversity is the first refuge of intellectually dishonest impulses”
As I write checks to Allen West’s campaign for congress, I keep telling myself, “Heh heh heh. The more checks I write the more concealed will my vicious racism be!Heh heh heh. We’ll get him elected and then turn on him, because he’s black. That’ll show these uppity blacks who’s boss. Heh heh heh.”
Is there anything worse than a modern American liberal?
Race Card? Who uses it more than the Islamics? They aren’t a race, they are closer to a religion, but they have made huge inroads into North America by playing the Race Card when anyone questions the spineless bureaucrats for making unheard of concessions to them. Stealth Jihad is a “must read” if you are interested in just how North America is being undermined.

Robert Spencer Rawks
Toto writes a very good article here HOWEVER I would like to take some issue with the following excerpt:
“Racism is alive and well in America today, despite the fact that voters chose the country’s first black president last year.”
From the start, I have always disliked the almost cliche-like “racism is alive and well in America.” Then again what would seem a positive phrase including the positive terms “alive” as opposed to “dead” and “well” as opposed to “sick/ill” is a standard cliche regarding something negative. All right, perhaps I should let this cliche alone.
HOWEVER, I would like to point out that racism in America today is less alive and well than at any time in the past. And we do have an African-American president, do we not?
MOREOVER, my travels and reading of history have led me to the conclusion that America is perhaps the least “racist” country in the world. Racism is much more alive and well in other parts of the world. For that matter, slavery is alive and well in some parts of the world as I write.
One source of American dynamism has always been the variety of peoples who call this country home. More now than ever.
So, when we says racism is alive and well in America, let us also reflect on the fact, yes fact, that racism in Ameria is not so much alive and well as in the past nor in the rest of the world today.
The only credentials I can offer on this issue besides my travels and reading would be the mixed ethnicity of my son. And he has done quite well, I would say.
As far as racism in America is concerned, I would also direct your attention to Victor Davis Hanson`s most recent article on this blog.
I consider that to be a better comment on racism in America.
My opinion of course.
Please compare and see for yourself.
Again, great article Mr.Toto, but I honestly felt motivated to address the “racism alive and well in America” excerpt.
To: Yes we did:
You are pitiable! And racist. “All white people are…”. The epitome of racist ignorance.
Now, Dumbelina, please consider:
Many whites are married to unwhites.
Many whites have mixed children and inlaws.
Many whites adopt unwhites.
Many whites have unwhite business partners.
Ninetyfive percent of blacks are partly white, or some kind of unblack.
Almost all hispanics are part or completely white.
You have absolutely zero evidence for your wrong and reckless assertion. Thus, YOU LIE!
Yours is the worst kind of racism. False accusations based on nothing but subjective feelings serve to worsen an improving situation. Why will you make things worse?
To Moho: “White people have never been the victims of racism”…Oh, My!
Because people of color are genetically incapable of racism?
What is affirmative action but racial discrimination against whites?
As a white, try to get waited on in a south Texas town where the population is 90% hispanic.
Lament that your children are bussed across town to a black school to promote diversity.
Take a midnight stroll through Harlem.
