Democrat James Webb gets his institutionalized racism on in the WSJ:
The injustices endured by black Americans at the hands of their own government have no parallel in our history, not only during the period of slavery but also in the Jim Crow era that followed. But the extrapolation of this logic to all “people of color”—especially since 1965, when new immigration laws dramatically altered the demographic makeup of the U.S.—moved affirmative action away from remediation and toward discrimination, this time against whites. It has also lessened the focus on assisting African-Americans, who despite a veneer of successful people at the very top still experience high rates of poverty, drug abuse, incarceration and family breakup.
Those who came to this country in recent decades from Asia, Latin America and Africa did not suffer discrimination from our government, and in fact have frequently been the beneficiaries of special government programs. The same cannot be said of many hard-working white Americans, including those whose roots in America go back more than 200 years.
Contrary to assumptions in the law, white America is hardly a monolith. And the journey of white American cultures is so diverse (yes) that one strains to find the logic that could lump them together for the purpose of public policy.
[…]
In 1974, a National Opinion Research Center (NORC) study of white ethnic groups showed that white Baptists nationwide averaged only 10.7 years of education, a level almost identical to blacks’ average of 10.6 years, and well below that of most other white groups. A recent NORC Social Survey of white adults born after World War II showed that in the years 1980-2000, only 18.4% of white Baptists and 21.8% of Irish Protestants—the principal ethnic group that settled the South—had obtained college degrees, compared to a national average of 30.1%, a Jewish average of 73.3%, and an average among those of Chinese and Indian descent of 61.9%.
Policy makers ignored such disparities within America’s white cultures when, in advancing minority diversity programs, they treated whites as a fungible monolith. Also lost on these policy makers were the differences in economic and educational attainment among nonwhite cultures. Thus nonwhite groups received special consideration in a wide variety of areas including business startups, academic admissions, job promotions and lucrative government contracts.
Where should we go from here? Beyond our continuing obligation to assist those African-Americans still in need, government-directed diversity programs should end.
Nondiscrimination laws should be applied equally among all citizens, including those who happen to be white. The need for inclusiveness in our society is undeniable and irreversible, both in our markets and in our communities. Our government should be in the business of enabling opportunity for all, not in picking winners. It can do so by ensuring that artificial distinctions such as race do not determine outcomes.
Memo to my fellow politicians: Drop the Procrustean policies and allow harmony to invade the public mindset. Fairness will happen, and bitterness will fade away.
Whatever, cracker. Democrat or not, your suggestion that we can help race relations without favoring particular races is just more coded racist special pleading for maintaining the white status quo.
— Which, all your lies, damn lies, and statistics aside, we all know still exists. And even if it didn’t, well, just go ask Voltaire how that works why don’t you?
Get with the post-racial program and start calling your political opponents racists for opposing you politically. Otherwise you’re a racist, too. Racist.

update: More racism, this time from an inauthentic Uncle Tom.
Here’s an idea: how about you go back to Driving Miss Daisy and leave the real work of racial justice to authentic advocates who’ve been in the trenches and seen racism up close and personal? Like, for instance, Spencer Ackerman.
HE’S BEEN IN THE SHIT, MAN! HAVE YOU?
(Thanks to Joe; via The Other McCain)
If he wants to have the street cred to call people racist, perhaps Mr. Webb should redefine himself as a fake Japanese, fake Muslim, fake teenager who types in 1337-speak and feels guilty for being a “hereditary Republican” trust fund baby. That seems to work for one of our more persistent trolls.
Oh snap! No, he didn’t! He may be pruned from the democrat tree and quick like.
If any of these new minorities go against the socialistic agenda and dare to say anything even remotely conservative, they are quickly regulated to the white cracker racist side of the ledger. That is how it works. Whites can get on the “good” socialist side by admitting their collective sins, cowtowing, and staying in line.
And I suspect Clarence Thomas can tell a few stories on how he was treated for his termerity to walk off the
blacksocialist reservation.Maybe it is time to listen to this guy on how to deal with race.
Obama promised us a frank discussion on race. Strange that Webb was assigned to deliver it.
The steering committee of American International Socialist Corporation, dba, “The United States Government”, does not approve of any of the corporations officers advocating the reduction of any revenue component that contributes the revenue stream for our Racial Grievance subsidiary.
Sub-contractor Rev. Al Sharpton points to the secton of The Little Red Company Handbook entitled, “The means justify the ends…”, and notes that with the November customer satisfaction surveys on the horizon, American International Socialist Corporation officers are more flexible regarding deviation from the Company Line, but there are limits.
Senior executive Webb should keep in mind that our re-organized ACORN division of ballot manufacturing will provide a substantial number of positive surveys that should help ameliorate any problems from our ungrateful and recalcitrant client base.
This may not be the right time to tell you this, but George Bush hates white people. FYI.
It’s “black people” stupid.
Oh. Never mind.
Hush, meya. Quit lying. Take your meds.
Seems appropriate to the discussion. What the Black Man Wants I’m betting Morgan Freeman has read this.
There’s your problem Makewi. Some thought they were helping to elect Morgan Freeman. Now they know it was really the guy who played Don Johnson’s sidekick on Miami Vice, only not as cool or smart or knowledgeable in the ways of the ladies.
Raaaacists!
Sounds like Mr Freeman has driven into the cul-de-sac and managed to find his way out. Good on him. Wonder whether having the name Freeman made any difference?
I guess everyone is working today.

Memo to my fellow politicians: Drop the Procrustean policies and allow harmony to invade the public mindset.
WH response: “Ok, we’ll concede that the large scale public opposition to so-called ‘Obamacare’ is racist, of course along with the President’s falling poll numbers. But, exactly like the jobs he has either saved or created, just think how many more racists there would have been had President Obama not acted!”
It’s time to listen to Dr. Martin Luther King. Skin doesn’t matter, character counts. Anything else is bull shit.
Webb has read the tea leaves and decided that he prefers to keep his job rather than go down in the tangle of failure and destruction that is the Obama administration.
God gave the Democrats everything they ever wanted, all neatly contained within the confines of a well tailored empty suit, and it is smashing their dreams of a 4th Reich to pieces.
Any trolls offended by the ‘Reich’ reference? Let’s see, the lefties hate Jews, and want to rum everything despite their long record of total failure. I’d say we’re living in the modern equivalent of Berlin circa. 1937.
The difference is that Barry’s Stormtroopers are all Spencer Ackerman clones. You know the type, couldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight.
That’s a rather short list of qualifications in order to be TEH NEXT HITLAR!!!
Maybe you should add something about starting wars of aggression and ending civil liberty protections.
Asshole, this doesn’t necessarily make him one of the good “ones” (I always knew you were a racist), but it definitely makes him a smart person. Much like Doctor King. He was another “one”, too, racist asshole.
What about continuing those policies? Hell, not just continuing but adding MORE aggression! Obama must hate Muslims as much as Bush did. Who’da thunk it?
Don’t fret, AJB. You still have plenty of pets in your socially-engineered zoo who will behave in exchange for food and shelter.
Maybe you should add something about starting wars of aggression and ending civil liberty protections.
Please excuse the omission – I’m just not quite ready to call merely abetting the Mexico Drug Lords’ war on Arizona “starting” wars of aggression. Btw, AJB, what’s your BMI?
I’m thankful that AJB is pretty much a once-per-thread troll.
And that it only drags out Lyndon Baines infrequently, cranky, you imperialist brown person hater.
Cranky is an imperialist brown person what has hates?
Color me surprised.
Helpful Progg advice alert!
Speaking of “invasions”, maybe the Proggs will want to consider the communicable disease invasion attending to “open borders”, you know, like TB and Syphilis? As we speak, one of my daughters who is currently working part time as a secretary in a fairly large onion processing business, where heap plenty illegals work, tells me her immediate hands-on-onions boss has had a very bad cough for 6 months, sometimes causing him to vomit, and has lost weight. Imo, the guy has communicable TB until proven otherwise.
Maybe worse, another one of my daughters worked for 2 years at the State Public Health facility in Hermiston, Or., a large agricultural area which has one of the highest rates of Hispanic population growth in the U.S. – but the PHS getting things reversed, my daughter reported that the the PHS did “screenings” but not for Syphilis, because “it is not a significant problem in the U.S.”, a situation which came about only because of past routine and mandatory screening, which is the predominate way Syphilis is detected and treated prior to doing real damage – otherwise it festers for decades in the brain, aortic valve, etc.. Back in the day we used to test for it on every “physical” and hosp. admission, and the “vdrl” test used to be required for getting a marriage license. Hence, it had become not a big problem in the U.S..
Progg Females especially will not notice the painless “primary chancre”. Then the organism goes into the blood and sets up asymptomatic, slowly destructive lesions wherever. It was known by Blacks as having “bad blood”.
#28 – I always thought of syphilis as “The thing that made Neitzsche’s last book really extra weird” or “Dr. Field Marshall President for Life Idi Amin Dada’s {mind} going away present”.
that’s should be the narrative going forward: like smoking, transfats, obesity – illegal aliens are a threat to public health. and they are.
the difference between Mike Wallace and Daniel Schorr is that Daniel Schorr is really quite remarkably dead not unlike Kurt Cobain really … dead as in we won’t have to listen to his useless worthless hateful propaganda bullshit any any more.
who will behave in exchange for food and shelter…
…and free healthcare, and help with reproduction (which is difficult for zoo animals, who often never learn to care for their young), and protection from predation.
Of course, the critters will utterly lose the ability to fend for themselves: if they ever escape, they’ll wander into traffic and get run over, or they won’t know to run for cover when the wolves lurk ’round, and if they’re lucky they’ll figure out how to tip over garbage cans and forage that way, but how to get fish from a stream or which berries to eat or how to find water will be lost on them.
Whatever. The stultification that comes from pacing around your enclosure day after day will prevent them from minding at all.
seems to me Mr. Webb has a lot of legislation he needs to get cracking on or is this just a hey you know what would be a good idea thing heading into the weekend
i wonder if dan snore was on journolist
“Maybe you should add something about starting wars of aggression and ending civil liberty protections.”
– That would be redundant all over again. Those are both core policies of the Progressives and Bunbblefucks regime.
Black key
Has anyone here actually heard what’s taught in inner-city schools to black children, or in any college or by any of these race-obsessed teachers (of any race)?
Essentially, even in Today’s America, many black children are told not only that they will face discrimination, but that they will be held back by it, and that they won’t do as well as expected in life because of it – in addition to an endless litany of past abuses.
Of COURSE history needs to be taught, even if it’s ugly – but for crying out loud, what do you expect from today’s youth if you tell them they have no future?
I can’t think of anything worse to tell children. Flush the race-pimps out and bring in 100,000 experts on “how to make friends and influence enemies.”
As far as Freeman goes, he may be a complete deedle-weedle (I hope that’s not racist, I just made it up), but for that interview segement alone, not only will I stop complaining about how he plays the same damned character in every movie he’s in (well, from now on), but frankly I wanted to hug the dude. That was beautiful.
he’s very huggable I bet it makes for a long day for him sometimes

“Opponents say the law will lead to racial profiling and trample on the rights of the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants in Arizona.”
– Racial profiling: The law does not now, and never has made any reference to country of origin or ethnicity. Fail.
– Tramping on right’s: Non-citizens have no constitutional rights. As a matter of civil charity they are afforded only those rights under the Geneva agreements. Fail
Of COURSE history needs to be taught, even if it’s ugly
What if it’s not as ugly as they’ve been taught, but the proggs excised Teh Successful Colored Man (and Woman) from early American history during their eugenics phase, then kept repressing it to repress their eugenics phase, then proceeded to repress it to take credit for civil rights while simultaneously keeping potentially successful men and women of color on the plantation?
You know, like all these people who were “whitewashed” from history?

You’re totally preaching to the choir here. Our history has been butchered by those with agendas for as long as we’ve had one. Academics in history departments have been content for decades to allow history to be rewritten for the sake of self-esteem, with disastrous consequences. People are dangerously ignorant of history in general.
That’s wild. Because ignorant ass small town southern cops never fuck with white people.

How dareSen. Webb try and take away their favorite toy!
covert racist talk
Is that where the meaning of anything I say depends on my melanin level? Yeah, I thought so.
Shut up, they argued.
Webb is a throwback to those horrific times before the threat of yelling “racism” got you all sort of monies!
“. . . made him sound like a mossback from the last century.”
Well, so much for someone from two centuries earlier then, eh?
I have a
dreamscheme!Sen. Webb is known to have a temper, so maybe he’ll tell those progg bedwetters to go fuck themselves. Democrat on Democrat violence! Can you dig it?
So you see? When I wrote yesterday that calling for race neutral policies is, to the left, a form of racism, I wasn’t kidding.
I don’t think such a message will sell with most of the American public. Unless they suddenly begin believing that the best way to avoid being a racist is to advocate for legislation based on race; whereas the surest way to ensure you are a RACIST! is to advocate for a society where color-blindness, with respect to legislation, is both the norm and the ideal.
That might seem counterintuitive even to the rubes who voted for Obama as a “symbol” for hope and change!
So there you go. There’s your talking point on race. Enjoy!
– Mossback sound’s sooooo Ghey……
check out the log the log in ur eye
In a weird, twisted way (at least to my way of thinking) the race demagogues argue against color-blindness as a path to justice much as the anti-communist argues against our latter day communists who insist Communism will work this time if only it is really tried.
I think she’s having fun with the platform Andy gave her…
That’s some real leftarded thinking there.
sdferr, would you mind elaborating on #89?
true believers
What the hell is a mossback anyway? Is that some kind of slur against hoary oldsters? Southerners? What?
Think hypothetically how a race demagogue would answer Morgan Freeman is all Ernst, if not about how you’ve been met in argument should you have made the same case as Freeman. It seems to me that the answer is always “No!”, you can’t have color blindness because color consciousness is essential.
And that, despite the apparent invention of the concept sometime in the latter part of the 18th century and into the 19th toward its fuller flourishing (by whitey, need I add?).
Mossback! – Age-ist!
“…I think she’s having fun with the platform…
…and the vast majority of her fun is at the expense of the Lefturds.
So did you mean anti-anticommunists then?
I don’t think so.
you know what’s ghey but kinda funny is how Shirley’s name is pronounced like the way really affected people say charade
So, it’s morning ess.
Sometimes even evening ess.
Then suppertime ess?
Hillary Clinton is a mossback.
Take us as anti-communists hearing from a communist that Communism hasn’t been tried, right? We’d say, horseshit, everywhere and always it has been tried it has failed. Why? Human nature, we answer. Something “essential” about human beings prevents their being capable of the altruistic demands of Communism as Marx conceives it. Just can’t be done, we say.
So also does the race demagogue answer the suggestion of colorblindness as the path out of racism. No, says he, people can’t escape color consciousness, it is essential to human makeup. Can’t be done. You will always be racists, says he.
Then I’m failing to follow how the race consciousness über alles crowd argues in a similiar manner to the opponents of the class-consciousness über alles crowd.
Unless your point is that the argument boils down to color-blindness is as utopian an aspiration as a classless society.
– I woke up with a blue moon in my eye – and lots of artillery in the closet.
I thought HRC was a carpetbagger
Can I assume 103 was writ without your having seen 102 Ernst?
– Ok…..Italicsthraxia has broken out again…..
a shit, I broke the blog again.
sdferr, I see what your saying now. I think the racialist argument (color consciousness is a Hegelian Historical Imperative) is an inversion of the anti-communist argument, since it’s essentially arguing that that a claim of, or aspiration to color-blindness is a form of false consciousness.
Sorry about the italics fuck-up, I’m typing fast because I’m trying to beat a squall line that’s about to roll through town. Later, all.
This weekend only, see my photos and vids from Glenn Beck’s American Revival. I’ll be putting them back behind a permissions wall on Sunday night.

Query to King Ivanans.
“You want to? …Okay.”
he has a nice smile is he going blind for reals?
He has macular dystrophy, which could blind him in a year or not at all. There’s no treatment or cure, but he has to do some kinda test every day to see if there’s change. And if there is, well, nothing they can do about it. So it’s important that he do the test or something.
The Left is of course accusing him of pretending to be going blind for the publicity. So of course all this week Glenn has been saying stuff like, “you know, this macular dystrophy could make me go blind in as few as 15 minutes. Keep listening to see if it happens on LIVE, NATIONAL RADIO.”
“We’ll be letting you know next segment. Stay tuned.”
– Behold, the preceding marks the advent of the American haiku, or Ameraiku, and consists of 19 moras, or “on’s”, the Nippon equivalent of the English syllable, in a 6,6,6,1 sequence rather than the 5,7,5 of the haiku.
The 6,6,6,1 should be comfortable for all you little poetic devils out there.
is that the same as macular degeneration?
mom’s friend L had that and she went to Houston and they did something and she came back in way better shape – she had to stay there a few days I remember cause mom went with her and mom said well she needs to see… which was mom’s way of saying no she didn’t understand why L’s kids didn’t take her
6-6-6-4 no?
Anyhoo, who’s David Buckner in the Beckian scheme of things dicentra?
Buckner teaches economics and organizational theory or some such at Columbia and NYU. I’m guessing Glenn met him at church. Glenn tells the story of when he first met Buckner back when he was doing his show on Headline News, and Buckner asked where he went to school.
Glenn told him the name of his elementary and high schools, and Buckner persisted, “but where did you go to college?”
“I didn’t,” said Glenn, defiantly.
“I KNEW it,” said David, which at first raised Glenn’s eyebrow, but then he explained that he could tell because Glenn thinks outside the box (though David doesn’t operate outside of corporate clichés, apparently). Not like someone who drank the academic Kool-Aid. Buckner just published a book called “Permission to Think” that he was hawking at the Salt Lake thing.
Sometimes David does presentations on the TV show about economics, and he was involved in some of Glenn’s American Revivals.
I’m one of the few people in the country who does NOT know David primarily as the guy who fainted on Glenn’s program. (He was ill at the time.)
his name of course is David Buckner
– Make that 6,6,6,4 and 22 moras.
– I must have attended the same school as Harry.

I wonder if I should read anything into The Divine Miss Shirley naming her children Kenyatta and Russia?
Yet another tragic example of damn uncaring government.
Here’s a very decent embroglio-summary piece from today’s NYT (surprisingly enough). Tobin Harshaw doesn’t give the Left overly many quotes, and even manages to make Ta-Neshi Coates seem the biggest idiot of the lot (that’s not hard to do, because he is the biggest idiot of the lot).
And no, Harshaw didn’t exactly absolve Andrew Breitbart, but there’s no great pedestal fabricated for Saint Shirley, either. And Ben Jealous, was he really present at Saint Shirley’s rambling, incoherent speech? Is that right? If so, then he, not Ta-Neshi Coates, is the biggest idiot-loser of all.
Wait, I thought the Klan done killed Shirley’s Daddy.
Bullshit, happy. You remind me of a parent who is overly critical of his/her own children but gives tons of latitude to other’s children. Pretty inconsistent. Kind of like loving George W but hating on a person who actually GOVERNED to the right of that same George W. Kind of odd from one of the staunchest. The woman is a bint. A lot of people have had similar backgrounds, and much worse, than this lady and aren’t pieces of shit. She has chosen to be a piece of shit.
FTFY, OI. You know how those white people are, always wanting to enslave the black folk.
‘feets lost me when he blasted Andrew Brietbart for his supposed engineered personal destruction of poor, innocent Saint Shirley; that being the same Happyfeet who raged scornful invective (and dirty words and phrases) at Mrs. Tebow for simply trying to save innocent unborn lives in a 30-second commercial. Mrs. Tebow was ‘guilty’, in ‘feet’s mind, of much more harmful discourse than what we heard Saint Shirley, a known Democrat appointee of dubious record and obvious lack of verbal skills, and proven hateful low-level racist rhetoric, espouse…but Andrew Breitbart owes Saint Shirley an apology.
‘feets, by your own (flawed) judgment turned on you, you owe Mrs. Tebow an apology. Snap to it.
I meant to say “governed to the right on fiscal manners” and seemed to govern to the left on social issues. Did she have a state equivalent to the National Marriage thing? I don’t think so.
“She has chosen to be a piece of shit.”
Being a piece of shit pays real good in Barry’s new all-animals-are-equal paradigm.
That ‘piece of shit’ got herself 13 million tax dollars and a 150k a year no-work government job as a payoff for some gaffe farm she and a bunch of other non-working “farmers” owned. They bought it for the express purpose of perpetrating a grift on the American people. If we had a responsible press instead of the PR division of Big Government, Inc. we are stuck with, there would be a hell of a story to be told in Ms. Sherrod’s extensive history of taxpayer subsidized luxurious living. Instead we get opinion pieces that tediously sift through the chronology of who-called-who-a-racist-first.
BITCH GOT 13 FUCKING MILLION AND A NO-WORK JOB FOR NOT FUCKING FARMING! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE SINCE THEY’RE PASSING OUT ANOTHER 2 BILLION TO PEOPLE WHO ALSO DID NOT FUCKING FARM YOU SO-CALLED FUCKING “JOURNOLISTS”.
I personally am combing through my geneology for a drop of black blood so I can get in on the action too, since I CAN’T FARM EITHER!
Imagine getting paid millions because you were too stupid and/or lazy to operate a farm. Only in Obama’s America*!

What’s doubly strange is that not a few of us can manage to italicize an entire comment in error Ernst, but so far it seems only you know how to do make the slant carry down the page. Secret knowledge is spooky, so careful man, the mob forming to get hf might turn on you at any second.
Believe me, if I knew what I was doing, I’d stop. Unless I could monetize it somehow.
Anyway, that was an interesting notion you bought up last night sdferr, and I regret that the weather and my lame-ass blog-fu derailed the conversation.
Yikes, it’s super-duper secret then (a function of daemons), heh, scarier still. Look out my brother.
Obama knows the score Ernst. You’ve go to get yourself an identifiable cut-out, like a Vilsack, say. Or try KSM in NY, oh no, that was Eric, just doing his job, see?
Use one of your kids maybe? The kid wanted to participate in the blog commentings, so as a kindness you let him/her type a character now and again, but it turns out the kid only likes to type one particular character and that’s not the character the html formula happened to demand. And you were busy tending to a gin-and-tonic spill at that moment — or practicing your putting stroke — so it escaped your notice.
Ah, the old phony gin-and-tonic spill trick.

“the mob forming to get hf might turn on you at any second”
Oh Lord. First happyfeet asserts that Breibart lynched an innocent black woman, now we hear about a “mob” after happyfeet.
I’m thinking the rhetoric is getting silly.
are they using squid™ pitchforks?
Shirley didn’t ask for Breitbart to do her like that with his lies in any way at all
jaysus, griefer, give it a rest. AB didn’t lie. Period. And FoxNews didn’t cover the story until AFTER Sherrod was fired.
No one who’s paid any attention will be surprised to find you calling my rhetoric silly Lee. What do you think of J above though?
not to disparage odessa but it was a letdown
Yet you promised you’d call.
AB appended text to that video that was a lie lie lie. He said the video referred to her contemporary handling of her USDA job. But there’s a no reason to make that inference Breitbart made from the clip at all… he was lying to incite charges of racism. He had similar lies in the accompanying text. He wanted to be able to say that black people are racists so they should shut their black racist mouths about the Tea Party or something. Personally I don’t think he thought it through.
I don’t know what Fox News has to do with it at all really.
The dirty dirty lie is that it’s not clear from the clip that the story Shirley was recounting took place in the past.
It’s clear all right.

“What do you think of J above though?”
I think asking for someone engaged in honest debate to be banned when they can easily ignore the one offending them is very un-PW. Kinda nannyish actually, wanting something they don’t like to be stripped from everyone.
I also think pretending there is a mob forming (a kind of chastisement of everyone challenging hf’s argument) to get hf is rhetoric counter productive to actual debate.
the relief well rig is already back where it was
“AB appended text to that video that was a lie lie lie. He said the video referred to her contemporary handling of her USDA job”
So, by that logic, the hippies were right. Bush did lie about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to get us into a war wherein he and Cheney could profit.
Why ban him? Just do a group TrollHammer and be done.
Bush did his due diligence… Breity did what he thought he could get away wif…
not the same at all
“. . . pretending there is a mob forming . . . ”
So jesting with Ernst while taking a swipe at an ass who shows up from HotAir is out of bounds huh? This, though “a kind of chastisement of everyone challenging hf’s argument” is just bullshit. heh

Dishonest, ‘feets? How so? Her 5th child is now a Denver Broncos quarterback; he survived only because his mother was a fighter who refused to abort him when given that option. Their commercial was a celebration. What makes her dishonest?
Saint Shirley won $13 million from our tax coffers, then went on to a political appointment to a cushy job where she bashed Team R and George Bush on NAACP video, and she’s now American Lefty Idol with prezzidint Obama ready to take a knee to win her back. But there’s room to defend her.
Smooth.

Yodessa, am I to understand you’re unattached?
And he was 100% right. Again, I do agree that it seems he tried to make it sound like Shirley the dumb bint was at the federal agency at the time of her racist behavior. The way I figure it, he either had a tremendously poor time at communicating his message or he deliberately lied about her. But again, I think the greater point of this all was to show that the NAACP, who just called the tea party a bunch of racists, is actually the one with a racism problem. I don’t think he really accomplished his goal, though. Are there racists in the NAACP? Of course there are. The organization itself is not about equality, but rather retribution, so the reaction to the dumb bint shirley and her story by SOME of the audience members is not a surprise to anyone who has had to have any dealings with the NAACP or some of it’s more fervent members. But then again, maybe it was an eye opener for those who are not aware of the NAACP and some of their more insecure members.

Then why did O’reilly call for her to re-sign in his 8 o’clock story? Oops on you, Darleen.
Face it, Darleen, happyfeet knows about three times as much as you do about this story. He, for example, has actually read the text accompanying the video; a text you are too lazy or partisan to read.
Still, could be worse. You could the pathetic jackass above who thinks black farmers won a settlement in the Pigford case because they were too dumb to farm, whereas white farmers right next door were smart enough to get Federal loans. Weird how the USDA, Congress, and a Federal Court acknowledge there was racism in the county committees, but yet no one calls him out for referring to the victim of this Breitbart inanity as a “bitch.” No one suggests he visit http://www.nationalaglawcenter.org/assets/crs/RS20430.pdf so he could learn what the fuck he’s ranting about.
No one suggests that Federal loans to relieve farmers of all types from unforeseen natural disasters are about as common as an aggrieved sense of victimhood by the commenters on this site. You would think any one of you could have cared to correct him….
Still, Darleen, the retort: “you don’t know what you’re talking about” is really more about tribalism than reading, isn’t it. Go read YOUR original link to Breitbart. Report back and be a better person. You know, like Shirley
so put that in your pipe and smoke it
Present day demographics show a massive racial gap by age. Minorities now make up 44% of all children under 18, a majority in seven states, and will represent a majority of all American children by as soon as 2023. At the same time, the country is also aging, as the massive Baby Boom Generation moves into retirement. But in contrast to the young, fully 80% of this rapidly expanding senior population is white. — National Journal
http://www.nationaljournal.com/njmagazine/cs_20100724_3946.php
White, conservative, elderly, vs. youth, diversity and the America’s future. America is changing rapidly and it is natural for conservatives, many who grew up during segregation, to feel threatened. This can explain what is going on politically with the new conservative fervor and movements like the Tea Party, which is undeniably a movement among predominantly white and older Americans.
Then why did O’reilly call for her to re-sign in his 8 o’clock story? Oops on you, Darleen.
excuse me, fuckface, O’Reilly is a commentator, not the news desk. And even at that O’Reilly’s commentary came ONE HOUR AFTER SHERROD had already RESIGNED*
So, shit-fer-brains, go have a buttertart with grieferfeet and squeeze out a couple of crocodile tears for Sherrod the bigot.
Minorities make up a majority in seven states now?
Must be that new math all them whippersnappers are talking about.

Oh, another racist Leftist (but I repeat myself) troll heard from!
“Minorities make up a majority in seven states now?”
I can believe of children under 18, minorities could account for over 50% in seven states.
Coincidentally, all the southern border states would be included. Has nothing to do with anchor babies or nuth’in…
And even at that O’Reilly’s commentary came ONE HOUR AFTER SHERROD had already RESIGNED*
This is false. O’Reilly taped his show prior to the resignation, showed the video, then apologized later. Fox Nation website released the Breitbart video at 1:40 pm, several hours before Sherrod resigned with the headline: “CAUGHT ON TAPE: OBAMA OFFICIAL DISCRIMINATES AGAINST WHITE FARMER.”
Serrod esigned several hours later that evening, just before 8pm.
WHAT DID O’REILLY KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT!
The issue about O’Reilly is clear, and that is why he apologized.
The issue with Fox News is also clear.
. O’Reilly taped his show prior to the resignation
So what? It didn’t air until AFTER she resigned. How does something NOT AIRED influence Obama?
Oh, I saw someone comment somewhere else that the Obama admin had to fire (or force to resign) Sherrod because they were afraid of what Beck might say that night.
And in case you missed it, she DID DISCRIMINATE AGAINST A WHITE FARMER. She admitted it herself. That’s a fact. In context she did it 20 years ago and claims she repented (but she has gone on to make other outrageously racist and bigotted statements, so maybe her claims are just a tad hypocritical).
The article on the website is factual. The Obama admin screwed the pooch on this one and they have no one to blame but themselves.
O’Reilly apologizing still doesn’t make FoxNews responsible for Sherrod’s dismissal. Neither O’Reilly’s COMMENTARY nor the news story AIRED until after she was gone.
Your dishonest is blatant, SFB.
“dishonesty”
Dear Leader is never wrong, Darleen. Therefore, the timeline must be altered until normality has been restored. Fox News must be to blame, or Dear Leader exposed as Terry Fuckwit. Simple, really.
So what? It didn’t air until AFTER she resigned. How does something NOT AIRED influence Obama?
It is also clear Obama fucked up and it had nothing to do with O’Reilly.
If a black man killed Darleen’s father and got off scot free via an all=black jury, it would seem amazing to me that Darleen would help a black farmer save his farm… the way Sherrod did for the Spooners.
What is most despicable is that Breitbart is so desperate to make his racist story valid, he asserted on CNN with John King, that the farmer’s wife Eloise Spooner, (who asserts that Shirley Sherrod is a good person and not a racist) is a plant.
it would seem amazing to me that Darleen would help a black farmer save his farm
You know, that says quite a lot about you.
corn, soybeans, peanuts?
You know, that says quite a lot about you.
Yes, it is wrong of me to think the worst of Darleen, as it is wrong of Darleen to think the worst of Sherrod. Unfortunately, agendas often override the ability to do the right thing. If there is any person who could claim a reason to be racist based on life experience, it would be Sherrod. But, I would like to think she has risen above it over time.
That Spence is a racist pig and hates plants? Purge it from our midst.
” If there is any person who could claim a reason to be racist based on life experience, it would be Sherrod. ”
That says a lot about you. There’s valid excuses?!
Oh. Wait. Voting Democrat, right?
It is clear which party would stand to gain in the next election by inflaming racism. As I pointed out in #236, the conditions are ripe.
It is clear which party would stand to gain in the next election by inflaming racism.
Yes, you’re right. SOP for the Dems.
and isn’t it interesting that Saint Shirley is suddenly not getting anymore onair interviews? Not one Sunday show had her on.
The MSM is getting a little shy in showing America what Sherrod really is …
If there is any person who could claim a reason to be racist based on life experience, it would be Sherrod
That excuses her racism? Does the same excuse extend to white folk victimized by blacks? No? Oh, I get it, blacks get a pass for not living up to standards expected of others ..
hmmmmm… I think that’s called the bigotry of low expectations. Them black folks just can’t halp demselves, right, SFB?
But, I would like to think she has risen above it over time.
Sorry, but no one can tell that from the recent comments she’s said.
Darleen will lynch the uppity black cunt yet.
Skin color and age as determinative of thought, ideals, actions, of who you are. And they call us the racists.
Thank you, griefer, for proving your moral bankruptcy yet again.
Surely not before you get done eating her.
And once again, hf slips back into cumslut mode. All for want of an anime-obsessed, pseudo-muslim thirtysomething teenager.
This is an excellent piece from the Atlanta Journal Constitution, which also made Baracky pee his pants and fire Shirley.

happyfeet, you have become a caricature most foul.
I cease to value any further contribution of yours.
I give a shit lee… There is nothing Shirley can say what rationalizes the dishonesty with which she was assaulted, and she is entitled to her views of Breitbart and Fox News however uncharitable they may be. Darleen’s continued pillorying of Shirley advances no goal for America whatsoever…
Wow, grieferfeet believes bigot Sherrod has a Lifetime Moral Authority Card.
is entitled to her views of Breitbart and Fox News however uncharitable they may be
and she is JUST AS responsible for the racism/bigotry as any one else, regardless of melanin content, of ’em.
Why do you have a problem treating black people as PEOPLE, griefer?
btw
Sherrod is entitled to her own opinion, not her own facts. Brush up on them yourself.
Like I said, conservative media will play upon the racist fears of their older minions, who are generally more racist to begin with and overwhelmingly white. The motive is clear. You’ve heard the phrase, “we’ve come to take America back”. It’s no secret to who they fear America will be inherited by (#236).
Oh, hush, SFAG.
Why do I suspect that you’re about as white as Andy Warhol?
That was one of Obama’s rallying cries, wasn’t it?
Oh, I’m not afraid at all now. Now that I know it is okay to hate the other if they draw first blood. Hell boy, its on now!
Shirley Sherrod is a racist two-digit (hi nishi!).
It is tragic that a great number of people believe the inflammatory manufactured racist scandals and rhetoric by those like Glenn Beck. Beck said, “Obama has a deep seated hatred of white people.” I wonder if that includes his white mother?
grandma was a typical white person you know
She did abandon the poor boy, so maybe that’s not such a good question, all things considered.
baracky: “white folks greed runs a world in need”
“black racism” is a problem somewhere on the scale between carbon dioxide and transfats I think
Indeed. Though she did leave him with his typical white grandparents (whom he could no sooner renounce than he could the esteemed Rev. Wright), who thought it would be good to have Frank Marshall Davis mentor him a bit.
You’re right. There’s no such thing, really. There’s just racism. And if you think it isn’t and hasn’t been all up in the American Conversation of late, you need to move out of the hole under the rock you’ve been inhabiting. Don’t be such a coward.
so now Team R wants a national conversation on race?
Awesome.

“black racism” is a problem somewhere on the scale between carbon dioxide and transfats I think
No such thing as “black racism”, griefer. It’s just plain old RACISM.
Now I understand you feel you must make excuses for those you feel can’t help themselves… but DO try to treat black people as PEOPLE.
Wow hf, you’ve swallowed the liberal white guilt bs hook, line, and sinker.
I am treating our new friend Shirley like people. She is a random people who didn’t choose for to be an object of national derision, and it’s even worser cause she’s not even a racist as far as we can tell from what we know.
You don’t do people like this.
Darleen to write as you did that Shirley’s “racism” stands unexcused is to pick up the lying ball where Breitbart left it and run it down the field, and for what? Shirley can’t be made a racisty racist just by repetition, and that’s not how Team R rolls anyway.
Didn’t used to.
The Burger King is closing, so I’ll be brief.
I agreed to equal protection under the law. I did not agree to my turn in the barrel.
For further information, see Farnham’s Freehold by Robert A. Heinlein, without the happy (?) ending.

Who said that? I am not Team R, in case you were confusing us.
Oh, no. She’s not random.
Shirley hasn’t put nobody in no barrel I promise.
We would know.
suing the federal gov’t for racism is being random?
this isn’t racist it’s very sweet but it’s sort of a study in contrasts I think
it’s ok for there to be contrasts, no? In which case we could say that race plays a larger role in our friend Shirley’s worldview than it does in most of ours.
bfd
Well you don’t have to worry about seeing “our friend Shirley” on TV anymore happyfeet. See, it turns out that just about every time she opened her mouth during the many TV interviews over the last few days, like, inconvenient utterances came out that didn’t jibe with the desired “Saint Shirley” narrative construct. And who knows what might have been revealed from scrutinizing the record pertaining to the lawsuit she won, the large dollars that USDA has been handing out for “not farming”, and the USDA hiring practices as a whole.
I’ve said as many times as I’m going to that Breitbart messed up one of the pragraphs of an otherwise factual article, one that he has since corrected. Yes, he effed up, but was not directly targeting Shirley; why won’t you give him the same benefit of the doubt that you’ll gladly extend to her?
http://reason.com/archives/2010/07/23/hollywood-babylon-for-ugly-peo
The Saint Shirley spotlight had run it’s course. The usual suspects have used it to deflect attention from the NAACP for playing the race card on the Tea Party as a whole. But now, she’s an uncontrollable loose cannon that may reveal some less than optimum points of view that could spoil all their hard work; they’re done with her.
Why can’t you give the same leeway, latitude, and benefit of the doubt to the likes of Pan Tebow and Sarah Palin?
Yesterday APOD posted a short vid of all sorts of monkeymenwomen doing more or less the same thing the world over. It’s dipshitty but pretty much intelligible.
Sorry, but I only have time for a drive-by tonight. I’ll speak to all you fine folks tomorrow.
All the best
i wish she was on the sunday shows. it may have cleared things up.
Because Tebow and Palin are strong conservative women and Sherrod is a professional griefer.
Strafe and run it is, then.
Nobody answer the door anymore.
The usual suspects have used it to deflect attention from the NAACP for playing the race card on the Tea Party as a whole.
this is probably because Breity’s dishonest stunt deflected attention from the NAACP for playing the race card on the Tea Party as a whole. But the right is building a narrative about Shirley what excuses the lies by which she came to be so infamous and derided. That is a very wrong thing to do cause of Shirley was and remains innocent of Breitbart’s ugly lie that she’s a racist worthy of national condemnation.
This doesn’t have anything to do with Palin or Tebow I don’t think other than the vehemence with which dissent for the Team R narrative is greeted. It’s very important for lots of white Team R ones to believe Shirley just wanna keep whitey down is what we’ve learned. But Shirley seems mostly focused on lifting black people up. She’s no saint. She favors highly dirty socialist redistributey means, but so do lots of white people. There’s nothing racist about it.
that’s that video game guy no? He has a lot of free time on his hands.
Testing…
no cupcakes or little debbies for you
Despite being aimed directly at it. Huh. I wonder how that happened. Marketing?
They’re doing a nice job of keeping Baracky’s fail out of the media. Hey, let’s talk about Breitbart!
Ah, the blackhole list must’ve gotten updated.
happyfeet, if it will make it clearer to you, think of Shirley Sherrod as Joe Wurzlbacher in blackface drag. Breitbart is demonstrating that more than one side can play the “character destruction by exposure” game, he is doing a good job of it, and Ms. Sherrod simply got caught up in the gears. As did Mr. Wurzlbacher. And at least Breitbart apologized for the actual errors.
Regards,
Ric
why do we want to play the “character destruction by exposure” game? Mr. Plumber is a good example. I remember we thought what they did on Mr. Plumber was wrong.
I’m tired.
8. Twof Orr, that’s why my dear departed mama’s next to last dying words were, “Keep your friends close and the accordion closer.”
We don’t want to play that game, happyfeet.
But I, for one, am ‘way more Riehlistic about it than you are. If it’s the only game in town, we either ante up and follow the rules or lose — and up to now the choice has been “lose”. Breitbart don’t roll that way, and it’s time someone took up the challenge.
The leftoids aren’t gonna stop without some strong incentive. Up to now, we on the Right have been waiting for journalism to provide that incentive. Now that journO!list has demonstrated that that ain’t gonna happen, we have to stop bringing rubber-band pistols to artillery duels.
Following up on that analogy — the leftoids have been giving us ammunition for a long time, and giggling at our frustration at our not having the tubes to deliver it. Breitbart has now demonstrated that (1) on that scale he’s about a battery of 155, and (2) he’s got the White House sighted in, with a CEP of under half a meter. Fire for effect! Get the next company sited!
I don’t think anybody would be happier than he if the whole battle got called off and we could all slope off to the boozer. But the time for bunkers and sandbags is over. It’s time to shoot back, and shrug about the occasional incidents of collateral damage. Alinsky’s rules are “good” in the sense of “valid”, and like all valid rules they work for anyone prepared to follow them. The game they outline isn’t a pleasant one, but it can be lots of fun if the other side is too delicate or refined to follow them. Time the leftoids learned that.
Regards,
Ric
As usual, Ric nails it.
Yup. Politics is a dirty, ruthless game. Always has been, always will be. If you don’t have the stomach to do what needs to be done you need to take up something kinder and gentler, like maybe demolition derby.

‘feets, you better visit KOS AND that other lefty cesspit Balloon Jism and bring back better trolls. You’re gonna need ’em.
Your singin my tune Ric and as the Marines would say I’m sportin wood;)
It’s great to have you back!
Keep Firing!
Darleen to write as you did that Shirley’s “racism” stands unexcused is to pick up the lying ball where Breitbart left it and run it down the field, and for what? Shirley can’t be made a racisty racist just by repetition
get off it, griefer. Sainted Shirley’s own subsequent blatherings have been so inconvenientedly bigotted the MSM is now stiff arming her.
Bravo, Ric.
just cause Shirley likes to screech racist at lord, god and everyone doesn’t mean lying whore Breitbart was justified in lying about her having discriminated against whitey at the USDA. He was wrong… and the woman clear as day says it’s wrong to discriminate against white people – the audience affirms that sentiment. That’s all there is to that.
She’s not racist – and Team R wants to beat the shit out of her anyway. It’s mean and it’s dishonest.
This never should have happened.
AB was only mistaken in believing she was relating her experience at the USDA
BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN SAINT SHIRLEY DIDN’T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THE FARMER. She admitted it, hf.
AND you’re wrong about the audience. They were all being “right on, sistah” when she talked about how she wasn’t going to help him and sent him to one of “his own kind.”
oh the pigford thing is interesting:
Hey, ‘feets, Andrew Breitbart has an answer for you and your ilk.
she didn’t discriminate she went out of her way to help him… she didn’t have to do that yet she did. Good for her.
And please find a youtube clip and tell me the timestamp on the evil audience racisms… and I will show you the timestamps where the audience concurs that we help poor people regardless of color. We will have several timestamps!
If Breitbart had represented that video honestly none of this would ever have happened. It’s disconcerting to realize the comfort level Team R has with lies and distortions about people what are innocent but for having obscenely dirty socialist views about the world we live in.
So, Unlike Sarah Palin, Shirley Sherrod really CAN see Russia from her Living Room!
Actually she didn’t, she turned him over to a white lawyer, he screwed up, then she had to help him again
It’s disconcerting sure hf, but it’s of a piece with our underlying human urge to resort to tit for tat from the jump. The imposition of our schemes of institutional justice are, after all, imposed from above on our instinctive reactions to injury as a kind of overlay, which only means they haven’t the power to eliminate the instinctual altogether. See the Oresteia in general and the Eumenides in particular.
she didn’t *have* to help him again she did it cause it was the right thing to do
I guess so but she’s just a lady what has lived her little life mostly helping black people try and keep their farms… working in offices with bad lighting and mold… she’s not the enemy… if I’m half as helpful when all is said and done about my days here on erf I will be pretty pleased with myself and I will expect a cupcake.
I pretty much agree she has the “meant well” going for her, so far as “helping” others goes. That, however, doesn’t excuse her from the task of seeking to understand whether her “help” is the best help she can muster or if, in some unintended way her “help” leads to worse outcomes than had she followed another path. It isn’t clear entirely, but seems clear on the surface, that her embrace of statism is reasonably unequivocal. To the extent that statism as such leads to worse outcomes for the whole, she should ought to stop and think. But she most likely won’t. It’s hard, after all.
she’s a black liberation marxist out to get reparations from whitey
Versus. She is still at war. She traded her totally race war mental outlook, which the left inflicts, for the purpose of control, upon it’s favored minority groups, for the more generalized, mainstream left view of the great “class war”. She has been “disappeared” by the MSM because she inconveniently spoke the direct “rhetorical radical” speech. The media prefers the softer more nuanced “realistic radicals” so as to not tip their hand.
she was disappeared cause she called Obama an inauthentic negro
That’s one of those inconvenient aspects of the Knowledge Problem coming home to roost again, ain’t it? Kinda like Nancy P’s reaction to Gibbs’ proclamation on the Nov. election probabilities, Mrs Shirley has trouble sticking to the proper party line on account of her precise knowledge of her own history.
Discuss.
why can’t you ever be on my side?
I’m on your side when you’re right.
I’m right this time I promise I just don’t know how to make people understand.
No you aren’t. See #335 for proof.
She’s no more racist than Robert Byrd. Just as Robert Byrd knew there were white “negroes,” Shirley Sherrod knows of poor whites that The Man treats like “negroes”. Opposite sides of the same adulterated coin.

You need to re-read “The Grapes of Wrath”, ‘feets, before you worry of the plight of deep-south farmers. There’s never been a dust storm as I’ve ever seen since I’ve lived here. Sure, crops fail one year because of local drought, bugs or poor land use, but good years are much more common. These New Deal dirty socialists have made non-farming profitable, even for non-farmers. How deep are our pocketses?
If Jeff is policing what is “wrong” in the comments, maybe he’d like to address newsrouter linking to racist sites to discuss Pigford! What’s a matter, newsrouter, couldn’t find anything on Pigford at Stormfront?
