Looks like Democrats are the actual racists….again.
“Black leaders see Senate seat being hijacked”………that’s the headline in Chicago.
It seems that black leaders (including clergy, who really shouldn’t be advocating racial divisions) are demanding that another black politician be appointed to Obama’s seat in order to “keep the seat Black.” I don’t use “African-American” because it’s a nonsense, politically-correct, Rightspeak term. My family has only been in this country since 1961 and we don’t call ourselves “Dutch-Indonesian-Americans” because that would be stupid. To continue….
Apparently once a black person takes any position it must always be filled by another black person or somehow it’s racism. There’s talk that the idea of having a special election to fill Obama’s seat instead of letting Bribeojevich fill it is an attempt by Whitey to kick the Negroes out of town, or whatever ’60s throwback cliches are appropriate. The concept that a political seat might be chosen by an actual election seems to be less important than making sure the “black community” keeps what they now consider to be “theirs.”
Does this mean that every politician in line to succeed the President has to be black too? After all, should something happen to Obama, we can’t let the “white power establishment” get away with “stealing” the presidency, can we?
Of course, if they wanted to be accurate, Obama’s replacement should have to be half black. Obama, after all, is HALF BLACK. Which is yet another example of liberal racism.
First of all, if a very light-skinned mixed race politician called himself white, blacks all over the known universe would be calling for his head. Names like “Oreo” and “sellout” would be flying. Guilty white liberals would be decrying the failure to acknowledge his “African roots” and tell him about his failure to understand his “historical place” and similar garbage. Yet Obama is called our first “African-American President” and treated like Jesus Jr. despite the fact that he has a white mother and NEVER refers to himself as white, or even mixed race. If he was exactly the same person but called himself white, they’d stone him, especially if he had an (R) in front of his name.
And if a white group demanded that a white politician be replaced only by another white man the word “Nazis” would be out before you could blink.
But let a black Democrat do the exact same thing, and nobody in that party protests. More than that, anyone who does protest gets called racist for protesting it!
Only one party constantly ties everything to race, and it is NOT the GOP.
Who are the racists again?
Did you read that article? There’s one Democrat (singular) and many clergymen (plural) demanding to “keep the seat black.” The religious whackos are on your team, remember?
–csc5502 says: To begin with, that’s only one article, and all the clergy are also Democrats (plural), so it’s NOT just one Democrat (singular). There are other stories if you look for them. And now a question for you. Islamic terrorists can be called “religious whackos” as you put it. Do you think THEY are on my “team” as well? What about the Sikh separatists in India who commit bombings and other terrorist attacks? Are they also on my “religious whacko” team? You only meant Christians, didn’t you? Specifically, you meant Conservative Christians. Or are you another one of those enlightened, progressive, tolerant liberals who mocks anyone who believes in a higher power that isn’t based in a government office? If blind is “visually impaired” and handicapped is “disabled” or “differently-abled” and mentally retarded is “mentally challenged” how come people of faith are “whackos?” Can’t we just be “differently-faithed?” Seems to me you’re exhibiting some more of that famous liberal bigotry right here. In fact, isn’t someone from “your team” supposed to be so tolerant and open-minded that using the term “whacko” at all should be an anathema to them?
I take particular offense at the term “religious whackos,” as stated by bill_finger. Not all Christians are Republican, not all Republican Christians are as conservative as you might think! Bite your tongue, and let’s leave the name calling out. (By the way, does anyone know what color those clergymen are??) I agree that this keep-the-seat-black is a bad idea: we’re supposed to be looking for the Best Qualified person, whether it’s a he, she, purple polka dotted, or whatever. Of course, the ideal would be to find the BEST person for the job. Good luck out there…
why does everyone think I’m a liberal?
