Al Sharpton Guest: Jan Brewer Incident Is More Race-Related Disrespect For President Obama

video
» 658 comments

On Thursday night’s Politics Nation, host Al Sharpton called out Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer‘s disrespectful conduct toward President Obama during their tarmac tussle, connecting it to a pattern of such contemptuous behavior by Republican leaders. Sirius XM radio host Joe Madison gave it a name, saying that there are people “who cannot stand the fact that this is an african-american who is now one of the most powerful individuals on the planet.”

RELATED: Drama Clubbed: Jan Brewer Says ‘I Felt A Little Bit Threatened’ By President Obama

Rev. Al opened the segment by calling Gov. Brewer’s finger-pointing “unacceptable” and “disrespectful,” noting “but she’s not apologizing.”

He played video of Brewer recounting the incident to reporters, calling the President “thin-skinned,” and saying she “felt a little bit threatened.”

To his credit, Rev. Sharpton is one of the few commentators to key in on the racial subtext of Brewer’s remarks. “Thin skinned? You felt threatened?” he said. “What does that even mean, you felt threatened? By the President of the United States? This is yet another example of disrespect and delegitimatizing this president.”

Rev. Al then played a fairly comprehensive rundown of clips that featured prominent Republicans behaving disrespectfully toward the President, including Rep. Joe Wilson‘s infamous “You lie!” moment. Speaking of lying, Sharpton also noted Gov. Brewer’s dueling descriptions of her 2010 meeting with the President, which was the genesis of the tarmac dispute.

“So Governor Brewer,” Rev. Sharpton said, “when were you telling the truth? When you just walked out of the meeting and told the press in front of the White House, with a smile on your face, how it was cordial and how the tone was very good, positive, or when you wrote a book saying it was condescending, and he was lecturing you?”

He also characterized Brewer’s handing of a letter to the President as political grandstanding. That letter centers around what sounds like an invitation for the President to be lectured by Brewer, to learn at her knee, if you will. “I’d love an opportunity to share with you how we’ve been able to turn Arizona around with hard choices that turned out to be the right ones,” it reads.

Joe Madison weighed in by pointing out that even a small child knows it is disrespectful to point in someone’s face, and related some suggestions he got from his radio audience, including bending back her finger, to having the Secret Service jack Brewer up. “I give the President of the United States credit for doing what?” Madison said. “Walking away.”

Madison also told Rev. Al to add to his dis list Newt Gingrich’s (and others) tendency to refer to the President simply as “Obama,” and Republicans’ demands to see the President’s grades. “Excuse me,” Madison said, “what 50-year-old-plus man has to provide his grades? What, getting elected as the president of the Harvard Review is not enough?”

He continued, “This is nothing more, and I’ll just say it straight up. There are some people, not all, in this country who cannot stand the fact that this is an African-American who is now one of the most powerful individuals on the planet. And there are those who cannot consciously and subconsciously handle it.”

“You know you’re not going to get a debate from me,” Rev. Al replied. “They brought race in. They put a race deck on the table. If you pull a card, it’s a race card because they set the deck.”

What you have to ask yourself is not whether Republican leaders have been disrespectful to this president, but whether they have done so in ways that white presidents have not had to deal with. The same holds true for liberal critics of the President, are they treating him as they would a white Democratic president?

This doesn’t have to mean that all of these folks hate black people. People like Gov. Brewer and Speaker Gingrich ought to ask themselves if they have succumbed to something more insidious, this tendency in white media culture (or as I call it, “media culture”) to promote, at best, informality with (and among) black people, the effect of which is to lower the inhibition to behave bluntly.

Here’s the clip, from MSNBC:

    Who among us would walk up to the president and “wag” our finger under his nose?  I would hazzard the guess that none of us would.

    This picture (event) has nothing to do with race – and everything to do with respect.  I may not agree with the president’s policies, but I do believe his office deserves respect.

    If this is her idea for selling books – it stinks.

     Tommy:

    Serious question.  Do you think that all your (and your peers) hyperbole, attacks, lies, disparagement, propaganda, etc. helps race relations?  Do you think running around every day like a chicken with they’re head cut off yelling “balk, racist, balk, racist, balk racist” helps anybody? 

    All of these people that you label as anti-American by virture of being “racist”, do you think they’re gonna say, “you know, wingnuts like Tommy Christopher & Al Sharpton called my a racist so it must be true”?

    Surely you understand the damage that people like you, Sharpton and the rest of the race hustlers do.  I understand that you take your cues from Obama and you’d like nothing more than to cause division among class and racial lines but you and the rest of you will fail, miserably.  Stop trying to divide. 

    You sound like a despearate and despicable little man.  If this country had a secret police force, you’d be the Captain.

    Al Sharpton has some nerve calling anyone a racist! Who is he kidding. Does Rev. Al have any white friends? People are upset with President Obama not because of the color of his skin, but for his empty promises to ‘Change.’ Articles like this perpetuate race.

    Al “Shakedown” Sharpton is calling some one a racist? Now there’s irony. That SOB is the most racist propnent of black victomology in the country, tailed not far behind by Joe Madison who sees a racist under every dollar he makes. Sharpton with a one hour television program on MSNBC where he uses it wholly for race baiting is another example of the political leftist bent of that network. He deserves an hour program on a major network as much as crap. He is an idiot.

    It appear Al Sharpen has a problem with the color of his skin. It seems that every time something happens that he doesn’t agree with,  he uses the race card. We are in America Mr Sharpen. Wake up! We are no longer in the 60s. Live for the moment and see things in an objective way, not subjective. Say something  positive once in a while.

    Dude, shut up.  You don’t do this kind of stuff in front of the democratically-elected president, no matter who he or she may be – even Bush.  It’s just common sense and has nothing to do with whether you think they’re doing their job the way they should be or not.  If you sincerely believe that what she did was okay, or if this would be appropriate behavior in front of any world leader, than I am seriously concerned about the public education system if there can be people this stupid and void of common sense.

    “A country of deep racism”? In a WORLD of deep racism, weren’t we among the first to completely ban slavery? And isn’t the act of calling someone a racist in and of itself also a racist act? (The reason being that the accusor does not want to admit that the “attack” might be substantive, and so they call the other person a racist to end all discussion on the matter and call into question their character.) That said, Al’s quite the racist himself, and cannot stand the idea that extreme-left ideas are not what the population wants, and so he therefore sees all political opposition as being “racist”.

    At no time wagging a finger to anyone is respectful.  However, in looking back the last 3 years Congress for the most part have been extremely dis-respectful of this president.   It was a sad day to see the Gov. of Arizona showing everyone around the world SHE can be so rude, unprofessional and so disrepectful.  People should be boycotting her book and the people of Arizona should be recalling her as their governor.  American’s have lost all class.  Sad.

    Honestly, if liberals keep lying about what is right in front of them because they can’t stand the thought of someone disagreeing with them they risk creating a new group just like the Tea Party came about from taxation without representation and uncontrolled spending.  In this case Tommy, you are lying your __ off so much in so many hit-piece articles your ilk risks creating a new group to fight back against your bullying.  With OWS, I was predicting violence at the Presidential conventions, with this racist BS every time someone has a difference of opinion you risk creation of a group dedicated to anti-race baiting.   Frankly, some of you aholes deserve a pop in the mouth.

This has nothing to do with race. Per usual, Sharpton is a race baiting fool that I would be happy to watch his heart attack with him muttering “th-e-e Whi-tt-ies fina-ll-y go-ttt me…” Damn bigot fool.

    ‘Reverend’ Al Sharpton is a bigger racist than ‘Reverend’
    Wright (BTW,I find it laughable that any real church would make these clowns ‘reverends’).
    He is even a bigger racist than Obama. A white woman pointing a finger at
    anyone is not a racist act. Calling that woman a ‘racist’ is a racist act in
    itself. We all know if she were a black governor pointing a finger at a white
    president Sharpton would be telling us how courageous she was.

     

    Why does the media continue to think Sharpton is relevant?

    Or, maybe if you had real respect for Al Sharpton, you’d actually take care to spell his name right.
    At any rate, Mr. Sharpton is not using the race card–Jan Brewer is. Jan Brewer said she felt ‘threatened’. Why? Because Pres. Obama brought up her portrayal of him in her book? Not something to be threatened about. She wouldn’t be threatened if Bill Clinton took issue with her book. No, black men in this society are perceived as threats and, conscious or not, Jan Brewer was alluding to that. Also, it was disrespectful for her to point her finger at close range to the President of the United States–would she have done that to George Bush? Doubtful.

    No, you are correct, this is not the 60′s but 2012 and white racism is still a major problem.  Here is a point, unemployment among blacks is 2X that of whites.  This is not a new phenomena, this has been the relationship since the federal government began tracking unemplyment by race during WWII.  Despite all types of civil rights legislation, increased education, this is still the case. I would suggest that this is the true level of our racial progress.  There has really been very little improvement of substance. Racism continues to show its head.  What disturbs about the term race card is that white people have absolutely no understanding of their racism.  When whites start talking about the race card they really have no argument except you are playing the race card.  And no I don’t have aproblem with the color of my skin; you do.

    Why does this country insist on an us vrs them mentality? Why is it acceptable to treat any person in the manner that this man has been treated in the course of carrying out his appointed duties? We all know what is right, but we allow ourselves to be blinded by the bias of this ridiculous two party system. Lets stop the hate. Try to see what other person is worried about and compromise to find a solution that is best for the majority of Americans. We stand now at a turning point. Will we divide out country further into “liberals” and “conservatives” or will we focus on what is important to our country’s survival and success? We each have an obligation to make that choice for ourselves.

    That doesn’t sound like a serious question. What did I “lie” about? Whom did I “attack?” Your question avoids the merits of my critique, which invalidates your premise completely. Calling out racially divisive behavior is not “trying to divide.” 

  • Anonymous

    Al Sharpton is a “racialist”. He feeds his ego and makes a lot of money by doing everything he can to increase racial divides in America. The more “racism” there is, the more money he makes and the more cameras get pointed at him.

    Racialists come in all colors, races and income levels. They are people
    who’ve learned that if they do everything they can to increase the
    racial divides among Americans by making it seem that essentially every
    problem/event is caused by racism, they can make money, get a lot of
    attention, and not ever be held accountable for their lies, distortions
    and the results of their actions and words.

    Sharpton and others like him pour salt in old racial wounds (and create new wounds) to ensure that no healing is allowed to happen – they are ‘creating or saving’ their own jobs and the market for their “services”.

    And our government and culture have become so perverted that they actually reward racialists for doing their damage. That racialists like Sharpton are free to express their own bigotry and hate is indicative of how damaged our culture and so our system has become.

Critics like him conveniently forget that dems always get 100% of the african american vote, so the fact that obama got elected was due to all these “racist whites” that sharpie likes to talk about.These same libs thought it was very funny when a foreign journalist threw his shoes at president bush.

    No. We were one of the LAST to completely ban slavery and then it lived on in the form of Jim Crow indentured servitude called “share-cropping”. No, calling someone a “racist” is not racist in itself. There was NO justifiable or “substantive” reason to attack Mr. Obama for any reason in the disrespectful manner that Gov. Brewer and the rest of the White Peoples’ Party, sorry, I mean the GOP, have and continue to do. The character of Mr. Obama is stellar. Try as anyone might since 2008, no one has been able to find anything to besmirch the stellar and exemplary character of Mr. Obama. That Mr. Obama didn’t sternly rebuke that reprehensible disgrace of a woman, Jan Brewer, for her blatant disrespect not just to Mr. Obama but to the office he represents (and has done so with style, grace and class) attests to Mr. Obama’s high moral character. Al Sharpton was correct to call the Brewer incident for what it is: a white woman who does not respect that man of African heritage who occupies by the will of the People the most powerful position in the world. I don’t care if you agree or disagree with Mr. Obama but by god if it had been a person of colour or non-white to have done that to Mr. Bush, the fury from the white-right would have been scorching.

I recall quite clearly Sharpton calling him baby Bush. Yet good old Al would turn white if Obama were called boy. The double standard is incredible. Bush withstood a torrent of hate and never complained, but poor Obama can’t even handle Jan Brewer? I understand Obama feels like he is better than the rest of us, but when you run for public office, you open yourself up for criticism. I disagreed with the policies of Clinton and Carter too, yet if I disagree with Obama, I’m a racist. It appears to me that the likes of Sharpton and Madison have a vested interest in keeping racism alive and well. It’s a job that they both do extremely well.

    Emma, while some people do deny clearly racist words and actions, most people see that there is a growing penchant by many to cry ‘racist!’ in cases where there is none. In this case, all words and actions being equal, had it been a black person in place of the white woman, Sharpton would not be accusing the governor of racial motivations.

    It is far too easy to label someone who does something one doesn’t like a racist simply because of their words, ideology, political party, economic status.. or their race. However, most Americans understand that do so is dangerously irresponsible and not what persons of good conscience do. 

    There is undoubtedly racial motivation of widly varying degrees in the criticism of President Obama. There is also criticism that – correct or not – has no racial basis whatsoever. But the Sharptons of the world won’t accept that.

    If it can be shown that the governor of AZ treats other black people like she did President Obama in similar situations but does not treat people of her own race the same way (in other words, it’s not simply how she deals with *people*) then and only then can the term racist be considered as an explanation for her actions, words or behavior.

    This ‘crying racism’ problem has grown so large that, as it stands now in America, being called a racist has lost almost all of its pejorative aura and is becoming almost a punchline in a very bad and divisive national joke and an indicator the accuser’s mindset.

    You are correct, shaking your finger at anyone is disrespectful.  That being said Al Sharpton probably disrepects just as many people and, no, I don’t respect a person who does this.  A leader would not.  

    Just because someone “feels threatened” or says “thick skinned” does not imply racism and until people get over this fact things will not change.  I tell employees that they need to be thick skinned to work here.  Does that mean all of our employees should be black.  No.  It means that you need to be person who stands his/her ground when it counts.  Pres. Obama should do more of this.  And feeling threatened?  Please he’s the president.

Brewer should apologize (but she won’t) and I won’t even begin to debate the comment of her feeling threatened!  If her response to feeling threatened is to stand 3 inches from someones face and wag her finger at them; than she obviously encourages danger.  BTW – - Why didn’t the Secret Service apprehend her?

    In her conscious mind it has nothing to do with him being Black, it was all about the political party he belonged to. But in her subconscious mind it was about the fact that he was Black that made it easy for her to put her finger in his face. White folks are not use to not being the “top dog” in the world and it troubles their spirit if they feel they must come under some other authorities that is non-White. Because they have been sold a superior image of themselves in false religion. Anytime the “savior” for the world is being portrayed in a “white-european image”; those who can identify with that image more closely, pigmentation wise, will in their subconscious mind feel themselves to be superior to those who are the furthest away that image, pigmentation wise.

    Real racism in its roots is preserved and protected in imagery in religion..

    And here is a snippet from the Fundraising email Democrats are now using to milk it:

     

    instead of welcoming the President at the airport with dignity and decency, she presented him with a demand letter that he accompany her in a visit to the border. And wagging her finger in the President’s face, she lectured him on how she had saved Arizona.

    And Obama’s comment: 

    “I think it’s always good publicity for a Republican if they’re in an argument with me,” Obama said of their most recent meeting. “But this was really not a big deal. She wanted to give me a letter, asking for a meeting. And I said, ‘We’d be happy to meet.’

    This country has had a history of racism, as has most countries in the world. The facts are that if we decided that we have come a long way solving this, Al Sharpton would be out of a job. Let’s be clear what he and other race-baiters do for a living — they convince their “customers” that if the Reverend was not there every day exaggerating racial motives, that the Democratic South would rise again, and we would slide back into the ways of a couple of generations ago. I’m not accusing Al of trying to keep his constituents dependent on him rather than achieving all they could based on their intelligence and drive to succeed. That would be putting motives in his head that I have no way of knowing — ANY MORE THAN REV AL CAN READ GOV BREWER”S MIND.

    I don’t know but maybe you should think about your level of racism.  We are Americans therefore  we are racists.  I know I am having lived for 63 years with white folks.  You see all these black men standing on corners; they already have the will to suceed in the only way this society allows them to do and as I stand at my door watching the stupid police trying to catch them with their crack I can clearly see who is suceeding.  Bill Cosby could relate to and understand the hood 40 years ago, but now he has absolutely no clue.

    When *you* say race has everything to do with it, how do you know? How does race have anything to do with her talking with her hands? Is she the only person to ever point her finger at someone? Have you happened to notice how many times Obama has been snapped wagging his finger in someone’s direction? 

    How can anyone say she didn’t feel “a little bit threatened, if you will, in the attitude that he had.” He is the POTUS. 

    Yet, she is a racist lying hatemonger because one photo was snapped that HE says was no big deal…

    How do you know she’s not saying, “you have to come out to dinner with me!”  You have NOOOOO idea what she said in that second, or what he said to her.

    Mr. Sharpton has made a lot of errors in his life but he is right on this one. The disrespect aimed at the President has been pervasive, of long duration, and with intensity by the Republicans, and Mr. Sharpton is simply calling them out on this. He is not afraid to play the race card. He is speaking to his constituency, but in this case, again, he is right. Every one can see that the Republicans are sitting on their 3 pointed hats with a sh*t eating grin on their faces. Juveniles to a fault but also dangerous. Decades of slavery, decades of discrimination, and maybe 60 years or so of correction. Well, it’s still there. Racism has not gone away. In some ways it is worse and unfortunately the Tea Party and the Republican Party are carrying that flag. It is as obvious as the day is long and I commend Mr. Sharpton for having the courage to speak out.

    Everyday, you forward the meme that fill in the blank conservative is racist.  In my opinion, being racist is anti-American.  You level these charges at people because you disagree with their politics.  It’s a dangerous trend amongst the wingnut left and it makes things worse.

    If they are so racist why weren’t they disagreeing with Condi Rice?  Why weren’t they attacking Colin Powell?  Why weren’t they attacking Clarence Thomas?  Why weren’t they attacking Hermain Cain?  

    Starting to notice a pattern here?     How thick do you have to be to not recognize its not the color of your skin or which side of the tracks you were born on or what elite (or not) school you went to, its what you do with what you have.  

    Liberal elitism is the biggest disease this country has had since, honestly, racism which largely diminished before sexism.    I was born in the 60′s and racism was on the decline as I was growing up.  It still existed but was uncommon.  What was common was sexism, which extended (I think) well in to the 80′s when, perhaps because of Reagan, it finally became a very bad word just like racist had already become.

How did he ever lower the standard, leaving aside your disapproval of his policies? This is why the explanation of racism is pretty compelling. Say that you don’t like his policies and stop this ridiculous idea that Obama is a big thug, etc. He is an elegant and pleasant man you don’t like. Period.

    Argh!   

    I’d written a response to a request from tommychristopher to provide examples of lies about racism, and listed about a dozen from 2008-20012 but the most recent one I looked up (MSNBC’s Bashir claiming Gingrich is a racist because of something he said) killed my internet session and I lost the whole post.   I’m not doing that research again, Tommy is a ‘journalist’ and should be capable of his own research.

    Basically, if you do a search for racism and MSNBC you’ll find example after example of either outright lies, spin, or questionable interpretation (such as the time Santorim mangled his words and some claimed he said we shouldn’t ‘give money to black people’), or the time they doctored a video to imply white people were showing up to anti-healthcare rallies with guns as a racist threat to Obama (even though the undoctored video clearly showed it was a black man who said he was carrying the empty rifle (right in front of officers) to express his 2nd amendment rights.  Another was Perry called racist for describing the national debt as a ‘big black cloud’ over this country, and Romney was a KKK racist because he had an ad saying ‘Keep American American’, etc…   Feel free to look up your own.  I give up on Google Chrome erring on me today :)

    Not deserving of a factual response since you are clearly out of your mind, but in short; David Duke was a joke and I can’t imagine anyone voting for him, Bush didn’t ‘rake it in’, he didn’t destroy the economy, and this isn’t the place to list everything the Bush administration did in two terms of office.

Why, because most of these people don’t have to work. They are supported by government programs and they don’t want to work. Why would anyone with common sense want to work at minimum wages when the government give them more than they would make if they worked!
    I am not rich but I had a lot of opportunities in life and I blew them. However, I still managed to work for over 50 years and have a little house, three cars, lots of furniture and don’t ask anyone for help, except (my family), when I really need to. I have never been on welfare, although some time I was down with little food and lots of bills, and no money. The point is, I am an American of Mexican decent who has been discriminated in the past but could care less about that. I see America as a land of opportunity, where if I want to make money, all I have to do is get off of my ass and find work, any kind of work I am able to do and can make money and support myself. Having said that, I don’t need to see this ugly people always bitching about discrimination. Look at Hollywood, there are plenty of blacks, whites, Mexicans, on and on, making movies. They don’t complaint about discrimination.
    No, I agree with you, there is discrimination but one must over look that, and find their place in society and make the best of the opportunities we have in this country. Why is it that we have such a problem with illegal aliens? Because all over this world they have, at one time or another, heard about the opportunities of the country and want to come on over, at any price. People walk, swim, climb over fences, just to get here and all you can do is bitch about discrimination. Find something positive to talk about and inspire people, especially all those lazy bums sitting around doing nothing accept drinking beer, wine, smoking pot, stealing, breaking into people houses and taking the government welfare money. And, I’m not talking about blacks, I’m talking about all of those who lost pride and don’t want to work, because there are people like you backing them up, telling them to protest against those who worked hard and made lots of money and are not fair. Get off of that and do the right thing. See the problem for what it is and find a solution, any way you can but stop your stupid bitching and name calling. Arturo

    “I am a realtor and I run around almost every day and what do I see, lots of people sitting on their front porches, or just leaning against the walls of building, or whatever, every day drinking beer, wine, liquor, smoking pot, doing nothing constructive.” Stupid, most of them are working. They are either selling drugs or have some other hustle. In Chicago, people sell loose cigarettes. 2 for a dollar. They go to Indiana to buy them for $5 a pack and cross back to Chicago where cigarettes are $10 a pack. They sell at bus stops, el stations, or shopping areas. Twenty cigarettes at 2 for a dollar comes to $5 profit. Many of these hustlers make over $150 a day. And as I watch our crack dealers they live a very middle class lifestyle and work very hard, I’d rather have a job. Many others sell CD’s and DVD’s. I no longer illegally download movies or music, I purchase from others .Amauricio, one thing is clear, you really don’t know what you are talking about.

    Yes, simply by wearing less melanin, I get a pass from society at large that I would not receive were I more blessed by pigment.

    Look at all the nasty things being said here about Obama when all he did was step off a plane and remind someone that they said something nasty about the last time they had a meeting. 

    Seems a perfectly natural thing for him to mention… but instead of people disapproving of Brewer’s grandstanding and photo opping while being exceptionally rude to her president… I’m reading a bunch of bitching and lying from people who think Brewer was well-behaved and Obama, merely by being present, was out of line.

    How, exactly, has President Obama brought “so much disrespect” to the office?
    He was recently declared the most popular president by our international allies and his popularity has been increasing as the GOP traveling reality show circus makes its rounds and the Do Nothing Congress keeps doing nothing except show its contempt for the American people. 

    The only people who seem to think that President Obama has brought disrespect to the office are Republicans. The rest of us are relieved that there’s finally an adult in the Oval Office.

    I agree and I think that’s why this is such an insidious topic to address and issue to resolve. There are elements of racism, agism, sexism (etc., etc.) that aren’t even conscious, yet they influence how we interact with others, especially during tense moments. 

    In order to deal with this, we have to be able to admit to ourselves that we’re affected by stereotypes that are so much a part of our culture that they’re barely understood as stereotypes anymore…

    President Obama is calm, quiet, and speaks with deliberation and purpose. In someone we don’t like, we call that “arrogant.” In someone we like, we call that “confident.”

    In a black man, it’s got all kinds of additional names that we can’t say in polite company, which is where Brewer and her totally inappropriate high profile finger waving comes in.

    There is no longer a point in refuting the merits of your critiques because they’re the same outlandish critiques day in and day out.  The only thing that changes is the person you’re attacking as being a racist. 
    And when you’re not doing that, you’re giving false information of a different sort.  Like when you said the number of people on food stamps is declining.  That is something you just don’t know.  It could be true or could not be true.  But, you state it as fact.  When it’s not.  You often state your opinions as fact.

    The contradictions that Governor Brewer provided  – in her statement after meeting with the president as cordial and positive and then writing about it in her book as “condescending”.  which was the first immediate description after the meeting, or the one she chose for her book?  I say it was her original description but it wouldn’t have sold books and riled up her base now would it?
    And we already know this president isn’t “thin-skinned”.  Maybe she just meant to say “black-skinned” and couldn’t bring herself to say it any other way.

    Funny, I looked at it exactly the opposite.  Obama, who is half Black, half White was demonstrating a desire for dominance over the “White Woman.”

    After all, former Black Panther, Eldridge Cleaver wrote in his 1968 treatise “Soul on Ice,” about the Black Man’s obsession with the desirability and conquest of the “White Woman.”

    Ergo, I could just as easily conclude, given the paucity of information, my assertion is equally as credible if not more so?

    Sorry, but I disagree. You can have all the Civil Rights Bills in the world, but that only changes the law and not the attitudes.  And, both the attitudes of the black community and white community must be changed in order to have a community where both blacks and whites work together in harmony.  Those black fellows selling crack on the street corners were not taught in the home and school or among their peers that if they studied hard they could do succeed in a legitimate business. 
    Bill Cosby is right. Parents – both white and black, need to be working with their children to make sure they are studying and headed in the right direction.  They also need to talk to them about waiting until they are educated before becoming parents themselves. 

    Teachers can teach but parents are the ones the children will  emulate.  Despite laws, it is parents teaching children to respect people of all races that will lead us to a world where everyone is respected based on their character.

  • Anonymous

    Until parents change the attitudes of their children, the next generation will also be on the porch.  Until they make the determination that education is the answer, they will be dropping out of school and having babies because “their parents lived that way”.

    But, the GOP doesn’t care about poor people or the middle class.  It doesn’t take a wizard to understand that people like Romney should be paying the same rate of taxes as the secretary.  You are betting on the wrong team.

The majority of white have always stood and fought against racism.The biggest struggle over 2 centuries has been republicans battling for the rights of black against a backwards and oppressive democrat party. It has been a fight every step of the way. This is a fact sir. How anyone could think that Al Sharpton is worthy of their respect while castigating a Herman Cain or Allen West or Tim Scott or even Bill Cosby, is beyond me.

    Of all people to talk about disrespect, this maggot Al Sharpton has to be the most arrogant, untalented, lying, disrespectful and racist person I have ever seen anywhere.  He makes a living by playing the race card, talks like he has never blew his nose in his life still processes his hair to try to make it look like a white man’s hair and if he didn’t use the race card every opportunity he could he would have been on the welfare roles his entire life.
    How he is a reverend is unknown to most of the civilized world and probably bought the title in the back of a sleazy magazine.  This is a person that makes a living by stirring up the poor and uneducated blacks and these poor people let it happen not knowing he is using them just to keep his name in the media.
    The man is an armband away from being an inmate and the media keeps on giving him jobs for some mysterious reason.
    Nothing at all was said about Obama’s race by Govornor Brewer but here goes “Slick Al” making it an racial issue.
    You are truly a scum bag Sharpton and if you don’t like that just write to me here and I will meet you in any gym and go a few rounds with you and I am an old dude like you are so it will be a fair fight that is how much I dislike you.

    You are right but you are also contradicting yourself. The point is that the disrespect stems from racial hatred towards a President, who happens to be in part African-Americian. There is no doubt that these people are and continue to be victims of racial discrimination in America. The fact that Whites Blacks, Asians, and Arabs are also guilty does not seem to change the conclusion of the article. It confirms it, sad to say. Prejudice is not based on race, it is based on ignorance in some places and fear in other places, or both. In that sense, it is highly probable that it will not go away. It’s our history and our future, in this country, for sure. If we look to the bases here in America, it stems from those groups least able to tolerate differences between people. Religion may well be our deepest source of prejudice, although it preaches the opposite.

    First off that governor called the President thin-skinned because he did not care to engage in her erratic confrontation. As a leader you need to pay attention to details and also know when to back away from from foolery. Which is exactly what President Obama did (I suggest you take some pointers Brian, seeing that you oversee people at work). He walked away from Jan and left her looking crazy so she had to LIE to the media and exclaim that he threatened her ( because he came to her state and ignored butt). Overall, this is why this entire incident did not catch much wind except from Sharpton who needs to have something to say to keep his job on MSNBC.

The fact that you immediately think it’s racist show how far off center base with reality you are. We don’t hate blacks, just people to afraid to step up and take the blame for their own actions. He has sunk a already bad economy, installed a communist health care system, and refuses to allow the drilling of natural resources. Blame Bush all you want, Obama has had an entire presidency, w/ a democratic congress. But you got me, I really hate him cause he’s half black. Idiots like you always seem to be on the Liberal side of the argument.

Would give kudos to the child for their behavior and then blame the teacher for the reprimand? This is why our youth today have no respect for authority, no manners and no real reason to do better. Bullying is at an all time high  and no one wants to work wth each other. Gov. Brewew was wrong, she should have done what she need to do in private, and kept it private.

    Unemployment is still 2x that of whites.  Are you telling me that Obummer is racist also.  The black unemployment rate is the highest it has ever been, and guess who is president.  Can you guess?  So it has nothing to do with whites.  Open your eyes people.  By the way have any of you seen Obama visit poor black neighborhoods and ask them to attend his Thursday parties in the White House?  From what I can understand these are very big lavish parties?  Everyone of these parties have mostly very rich whites at them.  Very few rich blacks.   So don’t point your racist finger at whites only.  Your powerful rich blacks don’t want anything to do with you.  Example:       Rev. Wright received several million dollars when he retired from the pulpit.  Where did he immediately run to?  Answer:  a white gated community.

    The public demonstration was nothing short of a set up! She baited the hook but that fish didn’t bite! Had Obama reacted any other way this would have been the end of most white support for the president. What I dislike the most is the media failed to tell the story, but they have time show a cat or dog stuck somewhere… or some sorry segment that isn’t national news worthy! We want the news uncensored! Lastly, yes this was nothing short of what “black people” define as racist! Why? It’s an example of what “Mister Charlie” the slave owner would do while talking to his slaves. It would start off as “You listen here you n$$$@!” While pointing that finger…. teachers can’t point to students or demonstrate this type of behavior!!!!

    Amauricio, you are the reason the Republicans work so hard to rid the U.S of and will continue to deport illegal immigrants. Yes, this is the land of opportunity and I am so glad that you have worked hard to have something for yourself. But honestly that is a lot of hard working people like myself. I see people of every race and ethnicity hustling and bustling to go to work to provide everyday. And yes there will always be those that waste their lives away. That is their issue, not yours. They want cheap slave labor from the immigrants since they can no longer enslave in this country. I have heard so many whites say how much they despise Mexicans and how they live and the fact that they have multiple children and live 15 people to a 3 bedroom house just to get over on the system and fatten their pockets. There is no wonder why some of them live better than most Americans huh. You just prepare to say your Goodbye’s to whichever of your friends and family that will be sent right back the hell where they came from. I hope that they drag your a** back across the border with them!

    WOW – so sad that hatred in this country hides the real issues that we ALL face. All of us regardless of race are facing a deficit that our children and grand children will suffer for. All of us regardless of race have neglected the soil of this country (farming) for man made fast food garbage that has made us dependent on pharmaceutical companies and their drugs. All of us regardless of race are less healthy, less wealthy and generally less educated than we were decades ago. Have you ever taken time to think that issues of race could be the great smoke screen that ultimately divides us in a time when we need to work as one collective human race? Is it possible that the big bank bosses, media snakes and political fat cats (on both moronic sides) love that we waste our thought on race and hate instead of focusing on claiming this country for the good of ALL people? We are pawns and follow like sheep. Race should be the last thing we rage over. Our fight as Americans has no color. We will continue to lose as long as we are afraid to have this discourse respectfully and then get past it. Racism is a fact. It is also something that holds us prisoner to progressing as a nation. 

    I am a 30 year old black man and have experienced racism on many levels. It doesn’t anger me anymore…it saddens me. It is sad that a white person that I may be able to actually help at some point may still see me as less than human. Yes, some black men act in ways that I’m not proud of. Can anyone actually believe that this only applies to black men? Are there no white men that mistreat their women? Are there no white men that deal or use drugs? Are there no white families that misuse the welfare system? Come on people, our problems aren’t much different. Unfortunately, some black communities just have a head start on these problems. Sad thing is, we will see how much we share in our desperation as time goes on. As jobs continue to disappear we will be forced to become brothers in the name of extreme hardship and struggle. Pain and despair feels the same as a black man or a white man. We will need each other if we ever have a chance to survive on this planet. 

    Ween yourselves off divisive politics. Politicians are PEOPLE. They have no more right to control our lives than you or me. They are as flawed as we are, perhaps much worse. They don’t represent us because they have no idea what it feels like to be us. They are only interested in saving their jobs and feeding their families. I suggest we learn to respect each other BEFORE our situation forces our hand. Racism is lazy thought based on outdated ignorance. It goes both ways…and needs to go away. Respect the pain of black people’s past in the country. Respect the pain of white people watching as this country falls apart. Both are struggling. Maybe we can find respect and common ground within our struggle. If not, we go the way of the dinosaur.

    It’s like cussing in front of a small child, if you keep repeating the bad words, the child will start saying them too, even though they don’t understand them. Race is still an issue because you(Al Sharpton) and others perpetuate the issue.

    I agree there are still some race issues among us and I believe that it will take another generation(or two) to go by, but when people like you and probably your children are gone, the race card will eventually disappear.

    Before I address the slave ship ad, I want to adddress Jan Brewer of Arizona. She so disrespected the office of the President that it cannot even be defined in simple terms. She treated President Obama like the disobedient slave on her plantation. That was so wrong. Since that time the media has said that sales of her book has soared. She’s grinning and cheesing as though she has gotten away with something. The repubs are silent on her actions and dishing more racial rhetoric. Jan brewer is a racist, hateful individual. She hates herself or she would have had more respect for the office of the President, than she displayed. The only thing she proved is that the President was the only adult in that conversation. She was an insecure, hateful idiot.  She is a public figure and should be setting an example for her constituients on respect for those in leadership positions. I feel that she was sent to do just that, because they knew a male could not have gotten away with it.
     
    Now, to the slave ship. Any Black who votes republican (lower case intentional), including Herman Cain, is voting to go back to the plantation. With them in office, things will become so bad for minorities, including poor whites, that the only jobs you will be able to get will be janitorial, vegetable fields, street sweeping, fast food and house work. Decent wages will disappear, crime will increase as well..  
     
    If I sound angry, I am. All this reminds me of the battles I have had to fight all of my life to be recognized as a human being. I have seen Blacks fighting this same thing from a very young girl. However, it is the image of jan brewer treating the president that way, and not an apology in sight. She just grinned lied and said it was about her book. Apologizing to a Black President is not in her sense of decency. I say to President Obama: If you were not doing such a good job; if you did not pose a threat to that KKK house of cards, they would not be so angry with you. Just keep on doing what you are doing, and more of it. I definitely will be voting for you. Thank you for the job you are doing.

    Hahahaha ! ” Say something POSITIVE . “  Are you for real ? RACE has everything to do with Jan Brewer’s attitude, and if you fail to see that, then you are blinder than a bat !  Those days of disrepecting black leaders ( as with Dr, Martin Luther King Jr. amogst others ) are OVER !  Where were the Secret Service men, while this was happening ?  I think that she should have been reprimanded by THEM, if only to let her ” cool off “.  This is giving others who hate the president want to act towards him in the same manner ( did yo notice the two old white men, who ushered President Obama into the area where he gave his State of the Union Address ? Their faces appeared to be full of hate for the president !  Moreso, than the face of John Boehner ( now if you misspelled Al Sharpton’s name, surely you will do the same for Boehner, heehee ).  Yes I agree with the gentleman who said that most Republicans , as well as ” haters ” of the president refer to him as Obama, because it hurts them deep in their gut that he is the leader of the USA, and perhaps the most powerful man in the world. They need to get over it ! That is why I feel that he will be re-elected for another term in office, so that they all can finally get use to the idea, that Barack Hussein Obama is the president of the USA. Hate it or not, it is what it is !  What is up with wanting to see his grades / school records ? He had to have been very smart, if he was President of the Harvard Law Review ( or whatever it was called ). No one never asked that of George W. Bush, but after he was babbling for periods of time, they should have requested his records ! We know now that his problem was alcohol-related,  hahahaha. WHY do people hate President Obama ? !  He is both white and black, which means that he has expierenced BOTH worlds, and can relate to the majority of the citizens of this country, unlike George W. Bush, who came across as ELITE, although a bit ” dumb “.  So here is to another 4 years of President Obama, and I hope that none of the Republicans get re-elected to Congress. . . not a single one !  It would be a GOOD RIDDANCE !  ( do get your eyes checked ! ).

Certainly we should treat him with respect as we should ANYONE, however, if I think I’m being patronized or ignored or spoken down to or even more importantly being lied to like this President & virtually every politician on the face of the earth has done, then that person doesn’t get or deserve my respect. Al Sharpton became famous defending a black girl who lied about being raped by a gang of white boys. She admitted to her lie…and it came out that Al Sharpton KNEW it was a lie & didn’t care…he thought it was worth it to further the cause of racial equality. Nothing is furthered by lying.

    Are you saying you don’t understand what is being said because of someones spelling? A intelligent person would understand dispite spelling. As far a that Racist Sharpton goes he always plays the race card. Right from the get go he blamed White Men for crimes they did not commit. Remember he did it twice not once when he claimed that White men raped that Black girl and woman? Both Lies. Have you ever heard him do the same for any other woman of a race who is not Black? Where was Sharpton when that man threw that shoe at Bush? I don’t recall him saying a thing then. Because Bush is White not Black… Sharpton You are Nothing without the Race Card and You know it….

    Here’s the thing, that little show she put on was scripted right down to the timing of her crooked finger wagging. Obama walked right into it because he incorrectly assumed the grizzled old piece of shoe leather had a shred of culture and civility. Still, at the end of the day, he climbed aboard Air Force One and will sleep in the White House, while she left the tarmac and slithered away through an open drain pipe.

    Where I grew up, THIN-SKINNED meant that you were a coward !  It is said that President Obama has a mild temper, and that he is not black enough ( she better be glad that he was not your AVERAGE black man, hahahaha, because she just may have lost the tip of that finger ), but we all know that he is part white and african ( aka black ), and having been raised by his maternal granparents, for most of his life, may have caused his ” thin-skinnedness ” !   I would like to know why she was not ” tackled by the Secret Service, hahahaha. She could have had a mystery powder in that envelope ( what was that ” scare ” that was going around, which involved a powdery substance ? ).   Why couldn’t Jan Brewer have mailed her letter, to the White House ?  I say it was very-y-y-  disrespectful of her, and I hope that some of those illegl immigrants get to shake their finger in her face one of these days ( probably not, because the poilce in Arizona are TIGHTER on inappropriateness, than are the Secret Service men !   I think this was 15 minutes of fame, for Jan Brewer’s book, to boost sales.  Her book went from 200,000+ on the charts,   to #24, since the incidence, so give it another week or two and it will be a #1 seller, hahaha.   ( president Obama’s singing a ONE LINE of Al Green’s song, Let’s Stay Together, caused more than a 400% download, of that song !  I guess he can get richer, after he leaves the office of president, by cutting a CD.  More people buy CD’s, than they buy books, so if he made a FORTUNE off of his books, a CD will make him as rich as Mitt Romney. ( if you mised him singing, just google ! ).

    Well, what do you think!  It is a “race card”indeed.

    Did anyone think about this before?  
    Jan Brewer is so  “gung ho” about guns what if she had a gun being carried on her person when she approached our president in that way!.  Gov Brewer is known to not be that stable of a person.  (Her son is criminally insane and locked up.)  New rules should be put in place because Mrs. Brewer acted in such a dispicable way!   Did the secret service think to check her out first?
    She is an impediment to the state of AZ, a huge embarassment, and the people will not stand for her actions anymore!  (She was only appointed gov of AZ when Janet Napalitano left her post as AZ Gov to go to Washington to serve under Pres. Obama.) Yes, she was elected later but only due to the rucus she and the tea party put asunder.
    If anyone does not understand presidential ettiquette then they are in a sorry state.  
    No one and I mean no one should get away with this kind of action.
    Brewer immediately ran to the PHX radio stations and then to Fox News to spew her hate of our pres instead of being a gracious host to Pres O at the Intel construction site in Chandler, AZ.  
    This stunt was all planned by the two crazies…Sarah Palin and Jan Brewer…the bosom buddies that they are.

    Al is right to feel that she is skating on thin racial ice.  In many conversations that I have had with various whites, the republicans have total disdain for the president because he is black. It is a pitiful state we are in, that so-called adults still refer to the president as a ‘you know what’.  I was fortunate to be raised in a mixed ethnic blue collar neighborhood and to have recieved such a great appreciation for all walks of life. And I have learned alot about the subject of prejudice. Not many whites like Al because he hits the nail on the head.

    Oh hell no !   What do you mean by saying that president Obama should stay, in Washington, and run his office, and lay off campaigning, but to concentrate on … the country !   Every president who was up for re-election campaigned, for their second term ! Why should Obama be any different ?  Did you complain about George W. Bush having spent so much time at his ranch in Crawford Texas or at Camp David and Maine ? ( I bet he thought that he was still Governor of Texas, heehee ). Bush also campaigned for hie re-election, as well as made TV appearances on Talk Shows.   Why would Obama want to destroy this country ?  Why do you and others say that he hates this country ?  Perhaps you all are the REAL HATERS !   The Bible says that a country divided, can not stand, and is bound to fall ( eventually ), and the same is true of families.  You said, ” How he got elected is beyond me. ” !  Well, it seems that there is much to be desired, that is beyond you  ( like learning to SPELL ), but let me end what seems to be a  ” mystery “  to you . . .  President Obama got elected by the majorty of the voters of this country !  How dumb can you be ?  For your information, this country was going ” down ” in 2006, and it was in the news, that George W. Bush knew that the country was in a recession, at that time, but he did not acknowledge it until December 2008, a month before Obama took office ( I guess his acknowledgemnt was a farewll present ). Had he revealed that information, in 2006, then people would not have gotten into debt buying homes, but they would have saved their money, until the economy improved. Here is to another 4 years of president Obama ( and you can keep your lousy vote, we Can do it without you, and others like you. YES WE CAN !  I am still waiting on that HOPE and CHANGE, that Congress is trying to keep away from its citizens, so hopefully it will be accomplished, during president Obama’s second term AMEN !

    if we disagree with Obama, they say we’re racist. if we support Herman Cain, they say we’re racist because he’s somehow not authentically black (which is funny, b/c he’s exactly twice as black as Obama.) when we run Lt. Allen West for president in a few years, they’ll doubtless say that we’re racist for liking him too because he also is not “really” black.

    so my question is: what can I do to prove that I am not a racist, short of supporting Barack Obama? and the answer is: NOTHING.

Can’t argue facts buddy no matter how loud you yell.  The reason that liberals are calm when we say things is that there are facts to back up what we say.  You conservatives get angry easily because you have nothing to back up a thing you say.  I know that if I’m debating someone that thinks the world is flat I would not get angry, I would just feel sad for them.  It’s pretty close to what it’s like to debate a conservative.

    Racism is a 2 way street. There are racists in every race. My opinion the Rev. is one of them. He makes everything out to be about race. He was not there he does NOT know the motivation. People like him, in all races are more of a problem than a cure. He and the Rev. Jackson do more harm than good. They aren’t going to change the feeling of true racists.

    Very true.  One other thing to add to your comment is that when someone knows they are right about things they tend to not become irrational when someone disagrees with them.  Obama’s comments and actions are backed up by facts and reason.  Unlike the conservatives who are backed up by greed and religious fanatics.  America knows this and hopefully the truth will spread some day.  The republicans only want to destroy the middle class and create an oligarchy for themselves and their rich donors.  Obama is a saint compared to the satan run republicans.

    Well, let’s see.  He drummed up support for a girl who alleged rape then recanted, etc.  He basically indicted the accused men before the whole story exploded on him.  Of course, there’s been racism.  However, Sharpton seems ever ready to make a racial issue out of virtually anything he touches.  I can actually go forward from 20 yrs –  he’s a relic of a bygone era, fighting a “struggle” that was over long ago.  Are there still problems?  Yes.  Are they endemic as they were the 60′s?  No.  Have you heard him on MSNBC?  He can’t put two sentences together.  Can you understand what he says?  I  can’t.  Then again I don’t speak Ebonics.

    Our education system is free – especially to those willing to work hard and get good grades.  And, it takes parents who encourage and tutor their children and give them the self-confidence to succeed.  THAT is what is missing in a lot of poor households, particularly in the black neighborhoods.  Want to get rid of that guy dealing drugs on the street?  You are probably too late, but it isn’t too late for the little kindergarten kids who have parents who care enough to give of their time and attention.

    In a way, children are like plants.  You have to encourage them to grow by giving them the sunshine, water and food they need to bloom.

    So don’t blame it entirely on society.  Our school teachers only have these children a few hours a day.  The parents are the ones who can point the kid in the right direction not only by tutoring them, giving them encouragement, but also by setting a good example.

    Are you aware that George W Bush took an average of 124 days a year vacation?  Let’s do the math- that means approximately 4 months out of every year as president, George W Bush was either in Crawford or at his parents in Kennebunkport Maine or at Camp David (he loved bike riding there).
    Every time a republican posts the amount President Obama’s vacation cost taxpayers, the amount goes up.  Originally it was $4 million which was considerable when one recalls that the Obama family pays for their own rental accommodations.  The fact too that the secret service and staff are going to get paid whether they are in Washington or in Hawaii.  The only difference is that the staff and secret service had to have hotel accommodations and that a separate plane had to be used to take the First Lady over when the TeaParty terrorists decided they wanted to mess with the President’s vacation time by holding up a bill extending the tax cut for middle class workers.

    You don’t even know what is in the Affordable Healthcare Act except the rantings of the rich republicans telling you how you don’t need it but then, remember that Mitt Romney thought it was needed for the people of Massachusetts.  And it works quite well there to keep everyone insured and the cost down.

    Laws of the Universe -Let me explain something to you.

    Haven’t you noticed how a lot of uneducated people look down on people of color and are in my words, racists, because of how they look and act toward people of color?  This is because they have the need to feel that they aren’t the lowest class citizen and it must empower them to think that there are others they can look down on.  It is mostly about the lack of self-worth and self-esteem.
    Then, there are those like Newt Gingrich who try to tell you that they “aren’t racist”, but through their actions you know differently. It’s those code words like “foodstamp” President.  But Gingrich does it for a different reason – it does it to rile up the Tea Party activists – most of whom are members of the group i first described.  Low self-esteem and self-worth.

    The Republican party itself tends to separate people into classes – they think of themselves as the Earls and kings living in the castle and the middleclass and poor people as being the workers in the King’s fields, living on the unprotected side of the moat and paying the King taxes so he can live “like a king”.

    The presidential salary is actually $400,000.00 per year with $50,000.00 expense allowance. Of course, the president does not have to run the White House out of his salary, as that is an expense we have no matter who is in the White House. The First Lady does not receive a salary but she does receive an allowance for expenses and some staff- I think a social secretary at least. The First Lady has a bunch of official duties that she doesn’t receive a salary for. However, there has been nothing at any time in this presidents career that has portrayed him to be less than honest or ethical. There is no scandal attached to his name or to his wife.

    As to the expense of running for office, I can agree with you that it is outrageous and I think of the meals that could be fed, the shelter that could be provided and the medicine and medical care that the money could buy and it makes me feel sick. That being said, until people on both sides of the political spectrum come together and demand it.

    I have no doubt that Brewer did indeed intend to disrespect the president and also intended the racial undertone she set with the “I was afraid of the president” bull. As if the president would dirty his hands on someone so not worth his time anyway- but to intimate that he would do anything violent or in any way try to intimidate her is just so much bull. Brewer obviously knows how to play to the racists since she is governor of one of the most racist states in the US, but I hope she realizes she demonstrated and proved to the rest of us what a racist she is. Hopefully, many people will voice their disgust for the disrespect she showed to the president and will send emails to her office by going to the following website.

    There were no men identified to be accused, white or otherwise, only some general descriptions and generic claims about what had happened. There is no reason to believe that Al Sharpton and any others who took the young woman at her word, had any idea that Tawana Brawley had concocted the entire story. Unfortunately, the facts are very much on the side of the fears of Rev. Sharpton and others about the crimes against blacks were, and still are to some degree, frequently not pursued as strenuously as when victims are white. Look at all the child abductions that take place. When a white child is abducted it generally makes national news but when the skin color is changed it is lucky to get local coverage- let alone national. There are so many more crimes reported on when victims are white, but when the perpetrators are black that gets reported on too. It is not equitable and it wasn’t any more so back then. Once the civil rights activists realized the young woman had made it up, it was dropped. The good done by Sharpton, Jackson and others since that time and incident should not tarnish a lifetime of someone who was a victim of lies too.and did not intend any harm to anyone who was innocent.

    That still doesn’t answer the question. How did she tie herself up in the bag and then couldn’t get out. Was she found in a bag of feces? Just because they didn’t identify the perpetrators doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

    “Racial sub-text?” “at her knee.” Where in the world do you dig this stuff up from? They need your weird hate speech against white people at The Root where by an amazing coincidence, rather than report news, they read minds and the verdict is in: white Americans are endemic racists and black people have a lucky immunity. 

    And there are people who can’t stand the fact that a black man is powerful? Who? Got a single name. And then to top it off you cuzzy up to a racist like Sharpton. In point of fact, you should be fired. Racists with names calling people without names or faces, just skin color, racists. What in the world do you use for a thinking process or consistent philosophy? Black professionals got Obama’s back and trumpet the fact publicly and that’s not racist but a finger caught at 1/500 of a second is. Call TheGrio, they need more writers without the slightest interest of competence when it comes to comparative logic or fair play.

    Brewer hasn’t built a career on race-baiting, Sharpton has. If he took a year off from any racial remarks, something white folks do as a matter of course, what would he do? He’d be lost and out of work cuz he has no other “skills.” He is a flat out racist and Mediaite is cozening racism for page hits.

    Was English your first language where you grew up? “Thin-skinned” means easily offended. Like people from the intellectual think tank called the NAACP who see “black ho’” in a Hallmark Graduation science-themed card about black holes and hold a press conference in L.A. about it. Mind readers, every last one. Useful skill.

    Yeah, fighting thousands of illegals aliens who destroy the environment with garbage and terrify the populace and at the same time fighting a racist President whose party by an amazing coincidence wants more illegal Latino democratic voters is pretty “negative.”

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_76F7SAA3N35X4IBY5BGVQML2YM James

    No American President who attempts to flout the law in favor of gerrymandering illegal foreign nationals deserves any respect. On top of that he sues American citizens in the state of AZ at great expense to both parties while his party advocates the vote for illegal aliens. The citizens of AZ are being thought of as second to illegal foreign nationals because they didn’t vote Obama and that’s clear. The people of AZ only want to be protected and the border situation is the worst since Pancho Villa 100 years ago. Ignoring that because of partisanship is incredibly stupid. No party is always right and the Democratic Party are every bit as much race pimps as is Sharpton.

    Just because Cosby is older, doesn’t make him irrelevent. He speaks to those who feel disinfranchised and speaks to their inability to become the lawyers, doctors, etc. to whom you refer. I believe he is spot on.

    If it was about the politics then it would not be the personal attacks.  I don’t agree with all but when i am talking about what i don’t agree with I speak of the issue not his wife and kids or call him names like a child.  Disagree with him not a problem not racist but when you make statement like ‘Tar Baby” and tell others to pray for his death?  That is racist!!!!!!! and untill those like you who CLAIM it all about his political positon call others out for their racist statemenst then it will only get worst.  For you and others to not have a problem with the blantly racist statement and actions of others tells me you agree but are too much of a coward to say it ouloud!!!

    and most I know would not so what’s you point?  

  • http://twitter.com/Geminiladi Sherri Hurt

    All
    that you posted about what he did has been done to black men for years and
    years and is STILL done today so what’s your point. Is it that this time it was
    WHITE boys who were lied on? Have you been in a uproar when you hear about
    black people being falsely accused? My question to you is ” how do you
    know what it is like to be black in 2012… are you black… I have no doubt
    the answer is no. So you don’t know and never will. just like I as a black
    woman do not know what it is to be a white woman (thank God). But I am smart
    enough to realize that to bad you’re not.

    Why would anyone feel disenfranchised? We have the vote now. We may not have it in the future if Republicans have their way. It is harder for us to get a good education but we are doing it anyway. We are doctors, lawyers, teachers etc. In spite of all opposition, we are getting it done. Sometimes, upper income blacks forget where they came from and look down on those who have not yet made it and fail to see the strides that have been made. Whites need to intermingle with more blacks to learn more about black culture and how many blacks really live. We’re not very different from you. We believe that all men are created equal and have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

    So your point is that it’s ok for a black girl to lie about white boys as payback for old injuries of decades?  If so, then we’re ALL (black & white) in trouble. And yes, I am angered when ANYONE, black or white is falsely accused.   What I posted is what Rev. Sharpton did to himself as an individual, NOT what was “done to black men for years and years.”  I truly don’t believe that Dr. King would have done such things.  Or do I have to be black to understand him too?  I hope not, since his message that all races should live together in harmony.

    You accuse me of using racial language and provide no proof. I give a rats ass that he is bi racial. What I do care about is his intentional destruction of this natioon. He has no intentions on doing anything to make it better.

    I used to be victim when i cared about trying to be “fair”. now I don’t care anymore. As I said, I now get it. They could give a crap about whites so I no longer care about blacks. I have friends who happen to be black but I no longer feel any responsibility to make the world a better place for black people in general, because they don’t actually care about the equality they so loudly fight constantly for. It is a ruse. They just want to get even and to get the upper hand. If the balance ever swings the other direction Blacks will oppress Whites in a heartbeat. They don’t stand for anything but self advancement even though they try to tell you its about “fairness”.

    No everyone hates someone. I on the other hand only hate those who hate me and I have gotten the memo. In general, blacks hate whites and i am sick of pretending to be a good meek and pleasant whitey while all the while being hated and secretly blamed for what some ancestor may or may not have done.

    That dear babyowl53, is why I put lol. I was being sarcastic as there is obviously nothing Jan Brewer did that was racist. I was simply making the point that every political group looks for offense so they can have an excuse to throw stones. In this case, Jan was not racist and Obama was not sexist but I thought every political radical ought to have their chance to whine about the exchange. Of course, you missed the point because you probably adore Obama. Oh Brother!

    @ J “You said; That is totally no truth to that! Obama is a disgrace to America and a supporter of the illegal aliens are any one breaking our laws! That is a disgrace and I could go on. ”

    Precisely what is not true in my post? The presidents salary? That’s true. The allowance for expenses? True. Not sure what your post is all about, but if you want to make some claims- back it up, not just saying you could go on.

    And by the way, the facts say that more illegals have been deported and more agents have been on the job than ever before. The president wants a way for some people- like kids who have not broken the law themselves- to be able to have a path to citizenship. That has been an expressed goal for many in Congress, on both sides, until a bunch of extremists came along.

    There are a bunch of people who throw around a lot of accusations about the president, but nobody actually names any concrete and truthful instances or actions. But there are a bunch of lies and unfounded rumors that some people prefer to pass on as if it was gospel truth instead of doing some investigating for themselves.

    Good for you Sherri, you seem to be hanging out with the right people then.  Flipping that race card out at every opportunity.

    Every time someone disagrees with the president or for that matter any prominent person of color then they are deemed a racist.  It’s getting old and it’s getting tired.  I dislike Obama because of how he’s running the country. I wouldn’t care if our president was black, white, or pink with purple polka dots, just run the country in a way that makes us proud to be Americans and not the laughing stock of the world.  We need a president that actually does what he says he’s going to do.  We need a president who values the Constitution, and who doesn’t increase our national debt funding programs that are redundant and unnecessary, while cutting the defense budget drastically.  Especially now when we have many military obligations, including those that were created by Mr. Obama. We need a president who can show that he’s truly in touch with the struggles of the average American person.  We need a president who loves this country.  Obama is not that president.
