Sometimes you come across a comment on a web-site that tells you everything you could possibly want to know about a person.
Seriously, is anyone else getting tired of EVERYTHING being racist? Why is it that we can’t poke fun at stereotypes? Nobody called them ricers or chinks or japs or zipper-heads or anything, seriously, can we give it a rest?
As far as I’m concerned, unless you can prove actual intent in terms of someone being racist, then just let it slide, huh? Take it from a white guy whose race is almost constantly under attack, sometimes you just gotta let it slide, and sometimes, well… sometimes the joke is ACTUALLY funny!
Man, those white people sure do have it rough, don’t they?
Michelle Malkin is angry. Yes, I know, that’s pretty much her default state, but now she’s angry about someone else being angry. Specifically, she’s upset that former NAACP chairman Myrlie Evers-Williams was critical of the New Yorker’s recent “Obama as terrorist” cartoon. How the woman who got Dunkin’ Donuts to pull an ad campaign because she didn’t like the pattern on Rachel Ray’s scarf can accuse anyone else of needing to “grow a brain” is a philosophical question not appropriate to discuss here, because the real gem of a comment comes from one of Michell’s faithful followers, one “emjem24″:
I wanted to mention what a shame that people like this woman keep bringing up “lynching” and in the same way, do a disservice to the black community.
Many blacks paid for HER civil rights with their lives. Does she get that or are their deaths just so much more politically expedient for the joy of using that word like some self-fulfilling prophecy or something?
I wonder if all the family members of those who’ve been lynched would accept such “death politicization?” It’s really a shame.
One more thing, it must be so “hard” to be black like her. Accuse others of “lynching” when they criticize you or even immortalize you in a cartoon.
Oye Vay, Ms. Evers-Williams needs a new schtick ’cause this one’s gettin’ real old. Do you think she cares about the impact of illegal immigration in the black community?
For those not in the know, here’s an article about Ms. Evers-Williams deceased husband.
Yes, that’s right. The widow of slain civil rights activist Medgar Evers was just accused of not only being stupid, but of not appreciating the sacrifices those in the civil rights movement have paid.
So, are American conservatives just completely and utterly without any sense of shame or human decency, or hopelessly stupid?
Barack Obama is coming to Indianapolis today to do the usual pulpit-slapping and dramatic pausing that has made him a leader to so many Democrats. Of course, not everyone is very impressed by this, including one gentleman who wants to refer to himself as “The fireman”
I don’t understand how the American people can elect a man of Islamic descent. All the trouble we are having is due to the Islamic people and we (some people) are trying to get one of the elected as president. His name should have caused lights to go off Barack Husain Obama, what American heritage is that. Was he named after Sadam Husain? It don’t make since to me how this can be happening to our wonderful country. Just like immagration and all the illegals here flying the flag of Mexico in their yard and on the vehicles. It should be against the law. Theodore Roosevelt in 1907 said “There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who is an AMERICAN, but something else also, isn’t an AMERICAN at all. We have room for but one flag, the AMERICAN flag…We have room for but one language here,and that is the English language…And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the AMERICAN people.”
We need to get back to this way of thinking and stop being afraid of stepping on someones toes. This is our country, we should fight to keep it ours.
Apparently the cognitive dissonance between the spelling here and the Teddy Roosevelt quote is invisible to the St. Louis resident.
