Black people in America are being treated like mushrooms by the black men and women who represent them. Last week Maxine Waters dropped a bomb:
The Tea Party can go straight to hell!”
She was out feeding her constituents massive doses of venom in an effort to deflect anger about her own poor performance by ginning up anger and hate for others…the “racist” Tea Party. Unfortunately she will probably win over these poor souls who have been spoon fed on scurrilous propaganda and lies in one form or another for years. She has no real evidence that her claims are true, nor does she offer them to her constituents, but by using bombastic smears she appeals to emotions and avoids the uncomfortable truth of high unemployment numbers for African Americans.
She also scolds the President (lovingly) making sure he appears to be failing because of those racists…poor man is facing a tough fight.
“There is a growing frustration in this country and in minority communities because the unemployment rates are so high,” Waters said, according to the Los Angeles Times. She said that home foreclosures and an ever-widening wealth gap between blacks and whites was “creating frustration and, yes, some anger” in the black community. “The president is going to have to fight and he is going to have to fight hard,” she said.
I guess she has forgotten how long Democrats controlled both houses of Congress including the last few under President Obama. Democrats just don’t own up to their responsibilities.
Rep Waters is joined in her campaign to deflect responsibilty for high unemployment numbers by Representative Andre Carson, a man of equally questionable character. After accusing members of Congress who associate with the Tea Party of wanting to bring back Jim Crow laws he said:
“Some of them…would love to see you and me…hanging on a tree.”
The men and women of the Congressional Black Caucus who are engaging in lies, hate and bearing false witness should be ashamed. They are guilty of delivering empty promises and instituting programs that have failed over sixty or more years to uplift the black community. They attempt to crush all competing ideas. They incite hatred and anger in the black community strictly for the purpose of defeating their opponents and assuring their own re-election…using voters in the most evil and vile way. These people will be directly responsible if riots break out in our neighborhoods in the coming months.
Tina is dealing with it. She is dealing with it just like she deals with constant stream of hate speech from you, Mr. Colgan, she is exposing it for what it is — despicable.
Thank you Tina.
Tina, can you believe this low-life dirt bag asking you to “prove” that some Tea party members do not favor lynchings?
Sheesh, what a horrid little man.
Quentin, can you prove that you do not want to lynch your daughter’s mother and your daughter? I am not saying you would actually do that, I am just asking if you can prove that you do not want to.
Quetin excuses the slanderous, all inclusive, nonspecific smear as if these remarks were just silly playground banter:
“It’s rhetoric, Tina. Political rhetoric. Happens every day.”
Coward. You are as cowardly as they are. None can find specific examples of clear racism or harm being donme to anyone and so they generalize and stir up emotional hate for fellow Americans that mean them no harm. Shame.
“…who is to say they DON’T want to see ’em hanging from trees?”
Oh yes, more of the very vague and nonspecific “they”…who is to say they do? Where is the proof? I want specific examples of harm…harm that can be prosecuted under current law!
“Can you prove that at least some members of the TEA Party in Congress don’t want to see them hanging from a tree?”
Ah yes…under the socialist system of government “innocent until PROVEN guilty” has no meaning…it’s the seriousness of the charge that will condemn. Just ask Clarence Thomas!
“There really is no way to know.”
Then you agree that the Black Caucus members should be exposed and shamed for these evil offenses?
Does it even begin to strike you how racist these remarks are? How militant?
MLK would be embarrased, possibly disgusted!
By the way I’m well aware of when it happened…I stated as much in the post…not that you ever read for content.
Pie thank you for gallantly defending me and for exposing the phoniness in that “horrid little man”‘s remarks.
Also apologies for the mix up…we get busy and from time to time post in too much of a hurry. ALL CAPS really help 😉
Tina, I believe Martin Luther King would be disgusted.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
I believe Maxine Waters, Frederica Wilson, and Andre Carson are being judged by the content of their character.
Or lack of it.
I believe that so is Quentin Colgan.
Quentin Colgan:
Socialism is an economic system, not a political system.
ACK! ACK! ACK!
“Rep Waters is joined in her campaign to deflect responsibilty for high unemployment numbers by Representative Andre Carson, a man of equally questionable character.”
Why? Because they’re black? Because they disagree with you? Or both?
Also, I’m very interested to hear how them folk at the very bottom of our economic continuum (remember, for all your kant, union membership in the labor force is at about 5%) bear any responsibility for the dearth of corporate capital in job creation.
We’re waiting.
A descent man responds to the vile, racially motivated rhetoric of Maxine Waters, Andre Carson, and the Congressional Black Caucus’ tacit approval of those remarks —
Florida Republican Rep. Allen West a member of both the Congressional Black Caucus and the Tea Party Caucus sent a letter to CBC Chairman Emanuel Cleaver Wednesday requesting that the body condemn such remarks.
As Chairman of the CBC, I believe it is incumbent on you to both condemn these types of hate-filled comments, and to disassociate the Congressional Black Caucus from these types of remarks. Otherwise, I will have to seriously reconsider my membership within the organization, West wrote.
http://dailycaller.com/2011/08/31/rep-west-to-reconsider-cbc-membership-if-tea-party-bashing-not-condemned/
Bless you Representative West for making a reasoned stand for sanity in a sea of race-baiting corruption and racist rhetorical violence.
Libby: “Why? Because they’re black? Because they disagree with you? Or both?”
Neither!
“I’m very interested to hear how them folk at the very bottom of our economic continuum (remember, for all your kant, union membership in the labor force is at about 5%) bear any responsibility for the dearth of corporate capital in job creation.”
They aren’t. Never said they were.
You can read?
“We’re waiting.
And you will be till hell freezes over with quiestions like those…cheesh Libs!
Well worth repeating:
Bless you Representative West for making a reasoned stand for sanity in a sea of race-baiting corruption and racist rhetorical violence.
The race baiting and lies are just inexcusable!
Libby, you make a very strong comment worth discussing. That is, do we (myself included) as Tea Party supporters, disagree with Maxine Waters and Andre Carson because they are black?
You’ve correctly noted that we do disagree with them. But, its only reasonable to take a look at what they said in order to fully understand why we found it objectionable.
Let’s start with Andre. Here’s a member of Congress accusing his fellow members of Congress, that identify with the Tea Party movement, as racists. He says, they would like to black people, himself included, hanging from a tree.
Anecdotally, I’ve been to about 50 meetings, protests and special events of the Tea Party. Race was never mention. Not from folks in the audience or speakers. The TP platform is about fiscal responsibility, support of the Constitution and free markets. There’s never been anything else. In all the time the TP has existed the media has never recorded one TP leader saying anything about race or making a racist remark, not once.
Now if an organization as large as the TP is was filled with racist members it kind of stands to reason that by now something racist would have come up. Somewhere, somebody would have been on a platform saying something racists and the crowd would be cheering just like they did for Andre Carson…and the media would have grabbed it, and they would have been exposed for it.
Libby, that’s never happened. Its not happened in my personal experience, nor has anyone that I know ever witnessed a racist leader. However, a Congressman, Andre Carson, feels totally justified in going on stage before the cheers of the home crowd and accuses anyone in Congress who supports the platform of the Tea Party as being a racist and being someone who wants to see blacks, himself included, hanging from a tree? I dared to disagree with that because I find untrue, unsupportable, over the top and you ask did I disagree with him because he was black?
Libby, please tell me where my thinking has gone wrong. Tell me, how can Andre’s statement be remotely true? I humbly ask you, where’s the proof, where’s the evidence to back up such an outrageous, slanderous and insulting remark?
While we’re at it, how is saying such an outrageous thing, while whipping up a group of his supporters to hate another group who want fiscal responsibility in any way a good thing for us?
I’m asking this ONLY because I want to have a serious discussion about race, racism and who it is that has something to gain by playing the race card? What other possible reasons could there be for this Congressman to say such a hateful thing?
Then lets talk about what Maxine said and why I disagree with her.
Libby is a race baiting dirt bag just like Colgan, Waters, Wilson, Carson, and your typical Democrat.
My favorite candidate is still Herman Cain. I have favorite commentators and opiners which include Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, Ken Blackwell, and Walter Williams. I love and respect these people.
This is about racism? I and others disagree with Waters, Wilson, Carson, Obama because they are black?
Clearly Libby agrees with the vile race baiting attacks on the Tea party and thinks it proper and acceptable.
No surprises there.
Pie, how can you claim to disdain race baiting while supporting Herman Cain, a serial race baiter? This is a guy who has often said that he, unlike President Obama, is a “real black man.” That’s a form of racism in and of itself, the assumption that there is one way to be black and that those who do not live up to the standard are “not black enough.” Cain himself has been the target of such racism from certain Democrats who believe that black Republicans are all race traitors, and that’s not right either. But Cain is doing the same thing to Obama, and I can’t imagine the current president ever calling the authenticity of Cain’s blackness into question, can you? It’s distasteful, it shows a complete lack of class, and it’s blatant race baiting.
Funny how liberals deny the existence of god and heaven but have a firm belief in hell.
Chris is trying to show me up as some sort of hypocrite again. *Snore*
What a snooty jerk. (And I do mean snooty here, not snotty.)
Blacks (or African Americans), in my experience, have always chided each other about who is really “black”. It is part of the culture. Like two Italians “busting balls”. Or “Yo Mama” jokes.
Is it distasteful? Perhaps. It depends on your point of view.
Is it despicable? No.
Compare Hermain Cain’s mild statement about being a “real black man” to the despicable racial hate mongering from Democrats.
Similar? Hardly. They are light years away from each other.
What is disgusting is Chris’ pathetic attempt to say the two are similar. Here Chris shows a complete lack of class if not utter lack of a mere reasonable perspective.
Try this on for size, Chris: Herman Cain is not only a real black man, he is a real man. It is time for a real man, a real black man, to occupy the White House. We need to rid ourselves of this unremarkable, hen pecked, unaccomplished, hapless, out of his depth, inept, spendthrift, community organizer/warmed over Marxist Harvard drone who is bent on the economic destruction of the United States either by stupidity or intent.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, pal.
Toby…lol right on point again!
Chris some day when I am dead and gone I hope with all my heart we can be color blind…that race is not even brought up except as a compliment. Unfortunately, you’ll probably be long dead too and so will your great, great children… before we really make any strides. I think it will take world of people who look like they ALL have a healthy tan before we lose sight of this ugly race business. Then they’ll no doubt find something else to be prejudice over!
I have to agree with Tina and Pie that MLK would not approve of such statements. Telling political opponents to go to hell and accusing them, without evidence, of supporting lynchings is outrageous.
Can’t wait to hear how Libby will respond.
Pie: “Blacks (or African Americans), in my experience, have always chided each other about who is really “black”. It is part of the culture. Like two Italians “busting balls”. Or “Yo Mama” jokes.”
Pie, you’re right that this is part of the culture, but context is everything. It’s one thing for people to do this amongst close friends. It’s another for a man running for president of the United States to make challenging his opponent’s racial credentials a part of his platform. That’s just not appropriate, in my opinion. And it is race baiting, by definition.
Do you think it’s racist for black Democrats to call black Republicans “Uncle Toms,” or to accuse them of turning their back on their people? I’m not trying to paint you as a hypocrite here–I’m genuinely curious as to what your position is on that. I know Tina and Jack have come out against such attacks, and I don’t approve of them either, but I’d like your opinion.
“Compare Hermain Cain’s mild statement about being a “real black man” to the despicable racial hate mongering from Democrats.”
I wasn’t trying to compare the two; I found it more useful, given Cain’s aspirations, to compare him to his challenger, President Obama. I can’t see the latter ever calling Cain’s blackness into question.
I also think Cain has made it clear that he has no understanding of the Constitution he claims to love, especially that whole freedom of religion part. But that’s for another article.
Q: “ONE MORE TIME Socialism is an economic system.
See Websters and don’t bother me with this again; I will ignore it.
Toby: “Funny how liberals deny the existence of god and heaven but have a firm belief in hell.”
I needed that…thanks! 😀
Chris: “I have to agree with Tina and Pie that MLK would not approve of such statements.”
Thanks Chris…that really gets at the heart of my reasons for posting this. I really am concerned about rioting and people being conmvinced that others hate them when it is just not true. It isn’t right that the people in those black communities will go away thinking that people hate them and would descriminate about them when it’s a damned lie…that is just so wrong. It makes me sad that after all the strides that have been made there are some who cling to this old rhetoric just for their opwn political survival. Shouldn’t they be uplifting these people and encouraging them? Ahhhh…it just makes me very sad.
Re: “That’s just not appropriate, in my opinion. And it is race baiting, by definition.”
Agreed, I don’t think Cain’s statement was appropriate. Race baiting? Huh? Next you will be telling me that blacks calling each other n****r is race baiting. Nope, that is not pitting one race against another any more than the “who is more black” thing is. It may be inappropriate and regrettable language, but it is not race baiting.
Get real.
In any case, Cain is not making his campaign about race. But Obama’s surrogates sure are. Democrats are. Liberals are. Progressives are. You are.
Re Chris’: “Compare Herman Cain’s mild statement about being a “real black man” to the despicable racial hate mongering from Democrats.”
I wasn’t trying to compare the two.”
Baloney. That is exactly what you were trying to do given the context of this blog. You just changed your mind and decided to take a different tack (er dodge) after I called you on it.
This blog subject is about the despicable statements of Maxine Waters and Andre Carson, not Herman Cain’s harmless “real black man” jibe. Yet you saw fit to bring Cain up in this context after I said I liked the man because you are constantly looking for some angle, no matter how weak, to call me a hypocrite.
As far as the “Uncle Tom” sort of comments go, I figure you left wing liberal a**holes should be able to sort that out amongst yourselves.
Maybe this will help:
Yes, Chris, some black people are a**holes just like some white people are a**sholes. It is racist for a liberal white a**hole to call a black person an “Uncle Tom”, but not racist for a liberal black a**hole to call a black an “Uncle Tom”.
I hope that helps you left wing liberal a**holes out. I would have thought you could separate the left wing liberal racist a**holes from left wing liberal a**holes by yourselves.
If the above still doesn’t help you Chris, check out this Google search and get back to me about your peers who love to use the term “Uncle Tom”.

Re: Tina’s
“Q: “ONE MORE TIME Socialism is an economic system.
See Websters and don’t bother me with this again; I will ignore it.”
Or see Wikipedia, or just about any reputible reference, or any history book or reference on political science, or say, look at a few countries and their names, or maybe look at how many political parties use Socialist in their names.
Hey, how about not inviting Colgan to comment just for being a complete dope?
I can see the letters to the ER editors:
Q: I have been banned from Post Scripts! Blah, blah, blah …
P.S. Replies: Mr Colgan is no longer invited to comment on Post Scripts because he is a dope.
Quentin Colgan:
Socialism is an economic system, not a political system.
ACK! ACK! ACK!
Quentin Colgan — Moe, Larry, and Curly all wrapped up into one but not funny, just sad.
“Libby, you make a very strong comment worth discussing. That is, do we (myself included) as Tea Party supporters, disagree with Maxine Waters and Andre Carson because they are black?”
Just, sort of, off the cuff … been readin’ any of the Cheney memoir commentary?
Telling … that is.
“Anecdotally, I’ve been to about 50 meetings, protests and special events of the Tea Party. Race was never mention.”
But Jack, that does not mean that it isn’t the dark and fearful thing motivating the Tea Party. We know you can’t see it. But we can.
You cannot convince us that, if the man who hired Bernanke was some liberal white boy from Hawaii, you would be yowling over the provenance of that white boy’s birth certificate.
You and Cheney are really quite blatant.
I’m sorry, 20 years ago, Reagan hocked the national soul over the savings & loan debacle, and you all just rolled right over. If you are fussing over Obama’s hocking of the national soul … it must be over something other than economics … like … perhaps … race?
Bullsh*t!
You, Libby dear, are the quintessential bigot.
Libby is right, don’t you recall just 2 or 3 weeks ago when those white Tea Party people (I am sure of it) targeted black people at the fair in Wisconsin and beat them down? Don’t you remember how fast Obama had Holder hunt those hate filled racists down and charge them with hate crimes? Just ask Libby, Q and those other two, I am sure they recall it just that way. If you guys at PS keep missing these things people are going to start reading Q’s blog.
I don’t know if I’m every going to be able to get you guys to see that, while you (and the flash-mobbers) are all wrapped up in racism, the folk who made this mess have not only got away, largely Scot free (quite literally), but are happily engaged in blowing up the next big bubble.
Toby, yes…. seems I remember something about that! Was that where black teenagers attacked mostly white families and beat them up simply because they were white?
I bet that really ticked off Obama and Holder and they were right on this one because they don’t mess around when it comes to racial violence. They have a great track record for taking up immediate action when it comes to any hint of a hate crime. Remember Obama’s remarks when that white cop detained a black man because an alarm went off at his house? In minutes of hearing aboutr that he knew that white cop was guilty of acting improperly.
So, whenever there was a hate crime anywhere this was the man who said it needed to be dealt with immediately.
Curious but exactly what did our President and his AG do about such blatant racist violence and hate crimes in Wisconsin? Where is the video of their plans to combat such evil? Where’s their public condemnation? Please advise.
Wasn’t there a riot at a theme park where Muslims started it because they didn’t want to comply with the park rules? Had something to do with what they were wearing.
Bet that really ticked off Obama and Holder because Obama just got done praising Muslim-Americans for being such good citizens at a White House dinner in early August.
Ah, yes and here is the story…It was Eid-ul-Fitr, the Muslim holiday that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan and the law abiding, ever peaceful, Muslim-American Society of New York, decided to throw a bash at the Rye Playland amusement park in Westchester County, just outside New York City…
But there was one little problem with their plans. The park bans hats or head scarfs of any kind on its rides. It’s a safety issue and it’s been that way for many years. They don’t want headgear getting stuck on the tracks or flying off and hitting other riders.
The Muslim Society was repeatedly warned of this rule before the event. But, for whatever reasons, they failed to pass this along to the estimated 2,500 religious devotees who showed up for the event. And that failure, deliberate or otherwise, led to a violent confrontation.
Entisai Ali tried to take a ride on the Dragon Coaster. The person operating it explained in detail the safety issue and said she had to remove her hijab if she want to go on the ride. Ali refused and got indignant. She became nasty because she wrongly assumed she was only being targeted because she was Muslim. She asked for a refund.
The cops stepped up and she and other Muslims started a loud argument and became verbally abusive, threatening and taunted the cops who were only trying to keep order.
The odd part is, only the Muslim witnesses, said the cops were overly aggressive and that Ali was pushed to the ground. When her relatives tried to interfere with the police while they were making a lawful arrest, all hell broke loose and the Muslims went on a rampage.
By the time it was over, 100 cops from surrounding areas had descended on the park. Fifteen people, including three women, were eventually arrested for disorderly conduct and assault. The park had to be closed to two hours.
Muslims of course accused the cops of beating people and of course they contend it was all racially motivated and they were completely innocent of any wrong doing. The police acted with violence for absolutely no reason at all, except because they racists and hated Muslims and that’s their story and they’re sticking to it.
The cops say they were doing their duty and they had to act quickly in order to prevent even more violence in a place loaded with children and families. Two park rangers were seriously injured in the melee started by Muslims.
All might have been avoided if the Muslim Society would have warned event-goers about the head scarf ban in the first place.
My son, a cop, told me about a lot of this recently.
Q, if you and I really were brothers, you would quickly become one of those shovel ready jobs Obama promised. That is a promise between you and me!
Pie: “Agreed, I don’t think Cain’s statement was appropriate.”
OK, glad we agree on that.
“Race baiting? Huh? Next you will be telling me that blacks calling each other n****r is race baiting.”
Uh, if President Obama called Herman Cain a n****r (or vice versa) I’m pretty sure there would be no question that that would be race baiting.
Once again, these aren’t two guys just hanging out. They are competing to be the leader of the free world. (Although, I have to say, the term “competing” is quite generous to Cain. I almost wish he would get the nomination, just because a debate between he and Obama would be absolutely hilarious.)
“Nope, that is not pitting one race against another any more than the “who is more black” thing is. It may be inappropriate and regrettable language, but it is not race baiting.”
Pie, Cain is trying to set himself up as a “real black man” in opposition to Obama IN ORDER TO WIN VOTES. How is that not race baiting?
I don’t think race baiting only means pitting one race against another…racism within ethnic groups isn’t OK to me either. I see race baiting as simply using race to win votes…how are you defining the term?
“In any case, Cain is not making his campaign about race.”
The “real black man” comment was one of the first impressions Cain made in his campaign. Then he made religion an issue when he claimed that he would discriminate against Muslims while hiring people for his cabinet, and later claiming that a town has the constitutional right to ban mosques from their community. Not only does this show his willingness to race-bait and religion-bait, it shows he knows nothing about the constitution. He’s the dumbest person competing in a race that includes Michele Bachmann–hate to burst your bubble, Pie, but he doesn’t have a chance. He’s not even going to win the primary because the Republicans know he is an idiot.
“But Obama’s surrogates sure are. Democrats are. Liberals are. Progressives are.”
You’re judging Obama based not on what he has said, but what his “surrogates” have said. I’m only judging each candidate based on their own words.
“You are.”
EXCUSE ME? How have I made this campaign about race? By bringing up the time that Cain used race, in what you admit was an inappropriate manner, in his campaign? That makes no sense, but as we know from the past you don’t need a reason or evidence to accuse me of things I haven’t done.
“Baloney. That is exactly what you were trying to do given the context of this blog. You just changed your mind and decided to take a different tack (er dodge) after I called you on it.”
Pie, I would argue with this but it would require re-quoting something I’ve already written, and I’m tired of constantly doing that for you. Anyone can go back, read what I wrote, and see which comparisons I made and didn’t make.
“As far as the “Uncle Tom” sort of comments go, I figure you left wing liberal a**holes should be able to sort that out amongst yourselves.”
Yes, Chris, some black people are a**holes just like some white people are a**sholes. It is racist for a liberal white a**hole to call a black person an “Uncle Tom”, but not racist for a liberal black a**hole to call a black an “Uncle Tom”.”
OK. I disagree with that, and if I recall so does Tina…but at least now I know your position.
“I hope that helps you left wing liberal a**holes out. I would have thought you could separate the left wing liberal racist a**holes from left wing liberal a**holes by yourselves.”
You need to chill out.
Bottom line…the hope and change promise has not been forthcoming. Real unemployment is estimated to be about 25%…for blacks much higher. The media pastes a happy face on the stinkin economy to prop up the guy at the top, after all they were the ones that failed to vet him properly, but the stench seeps from the bottom up so its quite evident out here. This administration/democrat controlled Congress is responsible and they need a scapegoat…Tea Party racism to the rescue!
THE BLACK CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS: NOW WE KNOW WHO THE REAL RACISTS ARE!
Some members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) have been are traveling around this great country, at taxpayers expense of course, meeting with members of their communities in town hall style meetings hurling vile and false racist charges not only against their fellow white members of Congress, but at anyone associated with the Tea Party movement, particularly if they happen to be White. Apparently, these members of the Congressional Black Caucus feel that anyone who is White, in the Tea Party movement and is standing up for the constitution and/or who wants a smaller federal government with less spending, is an anti-Black racist.
At one of these recent CBC Town Hall meetings, Representative Andre Carson (D-Indiana), said that some (White) members of Congress want to go back 50 or 60 years with regard to race relations. He said Some of these (white) folks in Congress right now would love to see us (blacks) as second class citizens and some of them in Congress right now with the Tea Party movement would love to see you and me hanging on a tree.
Of course, Andre Carson has never really had anything of substance to say during his unremarkable congressional career, so what the hell, why not just accuse Whites of racism and put the race card on the table. Remember back in March of 2010, when Representative Andre Carson, the NAACP, along with Congressmen John Lewis and Emanuel Cleaver made complaints that a mob of White Tea Party protestors had spit on them and called them niggers in front of the Cannon House federal building during the health care debate. Unfortunately for them, someone recorded the entire incident and the allegations were proven to be absolutely false. The congressmen and the NAACP representatives had made up the whole thing to show that they were the victims of White racism. These congressmen outright lied and it was caught on tape. Who were the real racists back then?
As far as the lynching of people is concerned, Representative Carson is apparently ignorant of the fact that it was not just Blacks who were lynched by the KKK and by members of his own party, the southern Democrats. After the Civil War, the Democrats in the south called Republicans radicals because the Republican Party had become a bi-racial party that actually allowed Blacks to vote and participate in the political process. For example, in the South Carolina of 1868, the Republicans in the state legislature were made up of 50 Blacks and only 13 Whites, while the Democrats were all White. Out of the 4,800 people that were lynched during the next 90 years or so, 1,300 of those lynched were White, mostly Republicans who were lynched because they supported Black civil rights. With this history, it boggles the mind that Blacks would remain so loyal to the Democrat party.
What exactly is the Congressional Black Caucus? Can White people be admitted or is it a Blacks-only racially-exclusive group? And if it is a racially-exclusive group, how can such a Blacks-only group that discriminates against White people in membership, even exist within a federal government organization that is paid for by taxpayer dollars? Here are the answers that may surprise you.
The Congressional Black Caucus was founded in 1971 by 13 Black members of congress and in its 40 or so-years of existence it has never allowed a White Congressman, Congresswoman or Senator to become a member. This No Whites policy of the Congressional Black Caucus was tested back in 2007 by a newly elected House member, Stephen I. Cohen of Tennessee, a White man who represented a 60 percent Black district. During Cohens 2006 campaign he was quoted as saying that if elected he would try to become “the first White member” of the Congressional Black Caucus. Shortly after being sworn in on January 2007, however, Cohens bid for membership was turned down and he heard from several Black Congressional Caucus members that whites need not apply. Who were the real racists here?
At the time, Congressional Black Caucus member William Lacy Clay (D-Missouri), son of one of the CBCs founders, confirmed that. “Mr. Cohen asked for admission, and he got his answer. Its time to move on. Its an unwritten rule. Its understood. Its clear” that White people cannot become members of the Black caucus. Rep Clay went on to say:
Quite simply, Rep. Cohen will have to accept what the rest of the country will have to accept there has been an unofficial Congressional White Caucus for over 200 years, and now its our turn to say who can join the club. He does not, and cannot, meet the membership criteria, unless he can change his skin color. Primarily, we are concerned with the needs and concerns of the black population, and we will not allow white America to infringe on those objectives.
Who are the real racists here?
For approximately 40 years, White people have been denied membership in a federal government funded congressional organization just because of the color of their skin. Isnt this a violation of federal anti-discrimination laws? The American taxpayers, of all races and creeds, pay the salaries of the congressional staff members, as well as the congressional office expenses that are used to support this apparently racist Black organization.
The main question here is how can such racial discrimination against White congressional members exist in the United States in 2011? Can you imagine the uproar if there was a White Congressional Caucus and they had refused to allow a Black member of congress to become a member because of the color of his or her skin. Oh! Wait a minute. I forgot. You cant have a White Congressional Caucus because that would be considered racist!
Lets take a quick look at the recent remarks of some members of the Congressional Black Caucus and see what this traveling band of racist instigators have been saying:
Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-California) was caught on tape saying that the Tea Party can go straight to hell and called for mass demonstrations by Blacks including runs on the banks and civil unrest not only in their neighborhoods but in the neighborhoods of White people as well. These are pretty strong words from a woman who is under investigation for misusing her congressional office to help her husbands Black-owned bank get some TARP and Stimulus funds. Who is the real racist here?
Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Florida) said: High unemployment in the black community is a result of White racism. When you look at African American males, 40% of them are unemployed, those under 30 years of age. And all of the growth in the past 30 years, we see it. She conveniently ignored the fact that the Democrat party had controlled congress from 2007 to 2010, and had done a great job of creating more government programs that destroyed the economy, along with a lot of help from President Obama.
Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Florida) said the Tea Party is the Republican Party and later urged the panel to play down the power of the tea party. Im not going to continue down the path of giving them all this credit, Turn the tea party upside down! he said. This coming from a man whose congressional career began after he was impeached from his Judgeship for taking a bribe of $150,000.
Joining the members of the Congressional Black Caucus at one of their recent town hall meetings was the Reverend, Jesse Jackson of Hymie-Town fame, who also made some outrageous charges that White Tea Partiers were the ones opposing the civil rights movement led by Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. The tea party is a new name on an old game, he said. Dr. King fought a tea party in AlabamaHe had no weapons, but he confronted the tea party.
Of course there was no tea party movement in Alabama when Dr King was alive, but Jesse Jackson, like his friend Al Sharpton, is not restricted by the facts. There is nothing like a phony, charlatan, opportunist preacher bearing false witness and trying to divide Americans by using that worn out old race card. But that is nothing new for Reverend Hymie-Town is it? Who is the real racist here?
I believe the Rev. Jackson also needs a lesson in history. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a registered Republican. Why? Because from its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party, the Republican Party has been the party that has championed freedom and civil rights for Black people, not the Democrat party. The Democrat party is, as it always has been, the party of Slavery, Segregation, Secession and now Socialism.
It was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and the Jim Crow laws that Representative Andre Carson talked about, not the Republicans.
It was the Democrats who started and supported the Ku Klux Klan and it was the Democrats who were involved in the lynching and terrorizing of Blacks, not the Republicans.
The Democrat party has fought tooth and nail for most of their history to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860’s, and they continued fighting the civil rights legislation into the 1950’s and 1960’s. Remember Senator Robert Byrd, the famous Democrat Senator from North Carolina who at one time was a Grand Cyclops in his local Klux Klux Klan chapter.
What some of the members of the CBC seem to forget is that the tea party movement is made up of people from all races, ethnic backgrounds and political beliefs. What should bother most Americans, both Black and White, is that it appears that out of the 43 members of the Congressional Black Caucus, only one member has the guts to stand up and speak against the racist remarks made by some of its members.
If a White member of congress said that the failing economy was caused by the actions of racist Black members of congress, White congressmen and women would be stepping over each other to express their outrage. Where is the outrage about these comments from the Black members of congress or President Obama? Why do they remain silent? Are they afraid to criticize a fellow Black politician because they would be called an Uncle Tom?
Fortunately, Black members of the Tea party movement are standing up to be counted and are coming out against the remarks made by the CBC members. Rep. Allen West, the no-nonsense GOP congressman from Florida and the only Republican member of the Congressional Black Caucus, said he might even consider leaving the CBC after hearing the vitriolic, anti-White, anti-Tea Party language.
Emery McClendon, an African-American from Fort Wayne, Indiana, who is among the most popular speakers at tea party events both in Indiana and nationally, said Carson and some of the other members of the CBC should apologize. Im the one who started the tea party here in Allen County, McClendon said. I have never in my career, and its been almost three years now that the tea partys been in existence, experienced any form of racism or any form of any negative-type treatment from anybody. The negative treatment that I have received has been from basically my own people, other blacks, telling me that Im wrong for being a part of it, but without having any type of reasoning or proof as to why I shouldnt be a part of the Tea Party.
I wonder if the Democrat Party leadership, as part of their demented Election 2012 strategy, has given the green light to some Black Caucus members to hit the streets with their baseless, racist allegations against White people, while also calling for protest and resistance against the Tea Party movement. Is this what the Congressional Black Caucus is supposed to be about? Are certain CBC members deliberately trying to divide America along racial lines in the hopes that all hell breaks loose before the 2012 elections?
Is this where these new Black Flash Mobs are getting their ideas from? As you may or may not know, violent Black Flash Mobs have randomly and viciously attacked White people in several major cities and other locations throughout the country during 2011, with little or no national news attention given to these incidents. If there were violent White Flash Mobs randomly and viciously attacking Black people throughout the country, it would surely have made the national news. Are these Black Flash Mobs getting their ideas to hate White people from certain members of the Black Congressional Caucus?
The vitriolic, anti-White, anti-Tea Party rhetoric coming from some members of the Congressional Black Caucus is right out of Saul Alinskys Rules for Radicals. Demonize the White members of congress and the Tea Party. Create a climate of fear, distrust and racial animosity that might lead to civil unrest, violence, rioting, racial hatred, and destruction so severe, that President Obama and the federal government will have to intervene in the name of national security, peace and order, and we will all suffer from a loss of our freedoms and perhaps our very liberty.
The racist leaning members of the Congressional Black Caucus, as well as their Marxist friends and fellow travelers in our government, are keenly aware that the majority of Americans of every race and creed are waking up to what is happening in America. The people are becoming aware that they are being used as pawns by those in power and by those who seek power. The American people are beginning to find out about the globalist and socialist plans for America and they dont like what they see and hear, so some members of the Congressional Black Caucus and similar race-based organizations must now ratchet it up a notch or two.
Playing the race card is what these racist individuals always do when all other options run out. They havent been able to keep up the deception of the American people and a growing number of Americans, including an increasing number of Black Americans, are now resisting their socialist plans for the country. Apparently, it is now time for certain Black leaders to declare war on those outspoken, White racists and to try to shut their mouths once and for all by calling them racists. Calling White people racists has always worked in the past, but as the members of the CBC will soon find out: that old dog dont hunt no more and by their own words and actions, we now know who the real racists are!
With the help of an increasing number of well-informed and courageous Black Americans who are now willing to speak out against the racial agenda-driven, establishment Black political leaders, America will be better able to move forward as one strong, freedom-loving movement without separating ourselves into different hyphenated racial groups.
Together, Americans from all races and creeds will continue on our journey to restore our Republic and leave future generations of Americans a legacy of individual freedom and liberty, a first class, non-government run education system, a clean environment, a strong and sovereign America with an honest, limited, constitutional government that will offer unlimited opportunities for their future.

“Bottom line…the hope and change promise has not been forthcoming.”
You got that right! Obama’s giving the very distinct impression that he’d just as soon not get re-elected. Back, during the last primary campaign, there was a lot of talk: “You know, the man is awfully young and has never really stuck anything for very long.”
We’re gonna organize a write-in campaign … see if we can’t draft Elizabeth Warren.
Who is Elizabeth Warren?
Libby: “Back, during the last primary campaign, there was a lot of talk: ‘You know, the man is awfully young and has never really stuck anything for very long.'”
Other than those of us on the so-called extremist minority right, who, exactly, was talking a lot about the “young” man?
“We’re gonna organize a write-in campaign … see if we can’t draft Elizabeth Warren.”
Hmmminteresting. I would prefer Warren over the O man if those were the only choices. The woman is from a middle class Oklahoma family and although a trained lawyer and academic seems to have stayed in touch with her middle class roots.
There are a few things that might be troubling to you, Libby:

Gee…I think I’ve said something similar.
The same article included this tidbit:
Shes not a creature of Washington and she was asking the right questionsof course she didn’t win but she might be a fighter. She’s possibly and old democrat…I have no idea if she even knows what being democrat means in this day and age.
There is talk of a challenge to Scott Brown in Massachusetts.
Mr. Wallace … flash mobs spring from agitated and wired young people, not agitated and wired young black people.
You do prove my point.
Libby, I think there is some truth to the fact that some of the U.S. flash mobs were of a single racial component.
The flash mob phenomenon is mostly black and more and more often criminal or gang related. They started as entertainment eventstheres always someone who ruins a good thing!

“From pulpit, Nutter throws book at roving mobs of black teens”
This is EXACTLY what is needed in the black community; local strong male voices demanding civil behavior. These young people need direction and discipline in their lives.

Are they racist or hate crimes? Does it matter? In the end it’s unacceptable behavior that civil society can’t allow.
Can’t argue with that logic. I think there should be a big trap set and have the cops call these fools up and invite them to a location for a riot and then swoop down on them and bust them all! lol That would pretty much take of any further phone messages telling folks where the next riot is planned…that’s what I would do if I was running the show.
