Personally, Or is that distinction just reserved for the brown-skinned people with funny-sounding names? You know, the people who pray to Allah, who are victimized the most in the world by Islamic extremists?

I’m only asking since right-wing nutjobs are demanding that the US government close its borders to Syrian refugees attempting to flee said victimization. You know, garden variety racist and xenophobic Republican rhetoric?

Jessie Jane Duff and Noor Tagouri debate Syrian refugees (WTTG/screen grab)

In the video above, Muslim journalist Noor Tagouri clashed with Jessie Jane Duff, a military analyst who frequently appears on Fox News on Washington D.C.’s Fox 5.

ISIS wants its own state – as in territory. In geographical terms, I think they still call it land. Like Israel, they want their own gangstas paradise.

Ask a Palestinian what it’s like to live in apartheid in that environment.

Trust me, ISIS isn’t envious of the freedom we enjoy in America, as we’re often led to believe. No, it’s not about that at all. But don’t tell that to the “privileged folk” who are easily motivated by fear. You know, people like Donald Trump who has proposed closing mosques, and a national registry for any Muslim in America? Or, like Jeb Bush – yet another Republican running for president –  who thinks the U.S. government should only permit Christian refugees from Syria to enter America.

Both unconstitutional proposals, but who cares.

What’s next? Internment camps and gas chambers?

Clearly when it comes to the GOP and their offspring old habits die hard. I gotta give it to them, they’ve practically cornered the market on the polarization of America with their race-baiting over the years. And they’ve done this year in and year out. Wanna convince voters to pull the lever for a Republican candidate? Well, getting that done is simple; you find a Black or Brown face and you exploit it. Yep, nothing like a good this guy might rape or kill you narrative when the face is Black or Brown. Gee, thanks a lot Willie Horton.

Yep, pretty much like the organization Turn Right USA did earlier this week with a campaign attack ad which targets Democratic candidate, Janice Hahn, out in Los Angles. The campaign ad was released as a web only feature, and thankfully so. It’s being dubbed as the most racist and sexist GOP ad by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) who have since asked that the ad be condemned by the GOP. No word on any condemnation, however, it’s a good thing this ad isn’t aired on television.

Check it out:

This would be funny if it were a Chappelle Show skit, but in real life not so much. And even as twisted as my sense of humor happens to be, I was totally shocked and appalled by this ad. But this ad reinforces what we already know about the GOP. That is, they are masters at appealing to the racial sensitivities of their reactionary base, which includes the enablers or minorities within.

Unfortunately, this type of thing actually works. I’m pretty sure that somewhere right now someone who just saw this video is pulling out a check book to donate to th4 GOP cause of winning that seat. After all, we can’t have politicians who are in the habit of giving away tax payer dollars to gang-bangers, right? Yep, gang-banger reform and rehabilitation is just as much a bad idea as is gov’t funded abortions. Oh, and it’s especially bad when it’s a white woman endorsing it. White women are more virtuous than that.

As inaccurate as the the theme of the ad – paying gang-bangers to rape and kill – you better believe someone right now is believing this, and is on board with stopping Janice Hahn. Which is a damn shame because I didn’t think there were gangs in Los Angele anymore. I’m just saying, you don’t hear about them in the media nationally like we used to back in the 90s, but I guess they’re back.

Oh yeah, checkout how he defends the Tea Party against them being labeled racist. One thing of note, he claims Blacks are the real racists because 99% of “us” voted for Barack Obama in 2008. The truth is, 96% and not 99% voted for Obama. But what’s a few percentage points, right? The fact remains, the 96% of Blacks who voted for Obama, are just as racist as the 95% who voted for Al Gore and the 93% who voted for John Kerry. Moreover, what’s important is him making the point that, “diversity doesn’t bring love and brotherhood; it brings the exact opposite.” So yes, per David Duke, the Tea Party isn’t racist.

And well, it takes one to know one, right?

“Now Black music is Black music, and it’s allgood, I wasn’t salty she was with the boys in the hood.” — Common; “I Used To Love H.E.R.”

Oh Lordy or Lordy, look what Michelle Obama dun did now up the the white people’s White House. She dun seriously up and dun it inviting one a dem dar Chicago gansta’ rappers she used to live next to to the White House. Word has it that she’s having a poetry reading session on Wednesday, but I ain’t buying it.

 It’s bad enuff that them Obama Kenyans dun defiled the sanctity of the one true symbol of whiteness and err’thing right with Amuur’cuh by even living there. And now, they finna have this Negro and his posse bussin’ spades, making it rain on hoes, and whatever else them there drug dealing Negroes do.

Of course them dar white folks over at The Daily Caller is madder den a mugg over tghis and had something to say about it. And lemme tell you, at last count, there was 274 comments mostly in disgust after the following post. Let’s just say, judging from the comments, Flava Flav better tear up his invitation:
First Lady Michelle Obama has scheduled a poetry evening for Wednesday, and she’s invited several poets, including a successful Chicago poet and rapper, Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr., AKA “Common.” However, Lynn is quite controversial, in part because his poetry includes threats to shoot police and at least one passage calling for the “burn[ing]” of then-President George W. Bush.

Back in 2003, First Lady Laura Bush held a poetry evening, and she invited several poets to reprise the work of Emily Dickinson, Langston Hughes and Walt Whitman. Although none of those poets had urged violence against a president, Bush canceled the event after left-of-center poets protested and threatened to disrupt the event. (read more)Oh well, lemme g’head and enjoy Common while I can; at least the pre-gangsta rapper Common; you know, back when he was less gangsta?
Sarah Palin jumped on the bandwagon, tweeting the Daily Caller story with a comment “Oh, lovely White House” — the virtual equivalent of rolling her eyes.

Pajamas Media, another conservative site, says Common supports Mumia Abu Jamal, convicted in the 1981 killing of a Philadelphia police officer, and was a member, along with the Obamas, of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where Rev. Jeremiah Wright served as pastor. The rapper defended Wright during the 2008 campaign as Obama distanced himself from the controversial minister. The video below shows Wright in the background as Common performs.

A Fox News site called the multiple Grammy-winner a “vile rapper.” Common, who has also acted in several films, including “American Gangster” and “Terminator Salvation,” also performed at a 2009 inaugural ball. (source)Yeah, ain’t no tellin’ how much more gangsta’ he’s gonna get once he leaves the White House as he becomes more untouchable and public enemy number one, while Obama’s still in office (watch this). Yep, big shouts out to the city of Chicago and all my peoples who live there; been a minute, but we’ll kick it soon.

Outspoken Oklahoma Representative Sally Kern has caused outrage by making both racist and sexist remarks during a state House debate on Wednesday night.

The House met to discuss a proposed constitutional amendment to eliminate affirmative action from state government.

During the debate, Republican Kern said minorities earn less money than white people because they are not willing to work as hard…..

Speaking about black people she said: ‘Is this just because they are black that they are in prison, or could it be because they didn’t want to work hard in school.

‘I taught school for 20 years and I saw a lot of people of colour that didn’t want to work as hard. They wanted it given to them.

‘Matter of fact, I had one student who said to me I don’t need to study. You want to know why? The government’s going to take care of me. That’s kind of revealing there.’ Kern also said that women do not work as hard as men, because they want to spend more time with their families and to have more leisure time. Of course, a day later, Kern apologized, obviously in an effort to save face (and her job) :
She said: ‘I want to humbly apologize for my statements last night about African Americans and women. I believe that our government should not provide preference based on race or gender. ‘I misspoke while trying to convey this point last night during debate. Women are some of the hardest workers in the world. My husband is a pastor of a diverse inner-city church and the way that my words came out last night is certainly not my true spirit.’ By now this should be pretty familiar to everyone. A law maker makes some outrageous racist statement, showing their true colors, the quickly tries to put out the firestorm they created with their bigoted remarks. Ironically, though, this time Kern possibly provided the best evidence possible in favor of affirmative action. I mean, really, what better than a blatantly racist statement to prove that hatred is alive and well, and that affirmative action is needed now more than ever??
The Oklahoma Democratic Party took the opportunity to retaliate and use her comment against Republicans as a whole by saying: ”Rep Sally Kern’s comments on the House Floor this evening in regards to SJR15 shows that discrimination is far from dead and affirmative action is still necessary in our great state. 

‘It saddens and angers me that the women and minorities of Oklahoma are represented by such bigotry and outright ignorance.

‘This rhetoric will drive new businesses and new jobs from our state. All no votes on this bill will stand on the right side of history.’Unfortunately, while Kern actually came out and stated her feeling regarding Black people, apparently many other Oklahoma legislators silently agree with her sentiments. The proposed ban on affirmative action passed in the house 59 – 14, and has already been approved by the Senate.

Of course, while Oklahoma lawmakers are passing laws against affirmative action, they are totally neglecting the fact that most of them have benefited throughout their lives from being part of the group that receives the most widespread race and gender based preferences: white males.

Representative Kern needs to look at her own statement. While she is complaining about a single Black student saying that he didn’t need to study because the government would take care of him, how many white students run around every day firm in the belief that they do not have to work hard or study because they have “the right connections” needed for success and that “Mommy and Daddy will take care of me”?

I’m really bothered by the fact that our political discourse right now is being dominated by this racist Birther garbage. Seriously, I wish the media spent more time discussing the CPC’s “The People’s Budget” than Trump and the rest of the wack-jobs. I mean birth certificate or not, the fact still remains: the economy is kicking our ass! But I could understand why MSNBC has covered this crap more than CNN or even Fox. The truth is, it’s better to focus on the most polarizing subject that is race in America, rather than the fact that your parent company (General Electric) laid off 21,000 employees, and closed 20 plants in recent years, and also didn’t pay a dime in taxes last year though posting a $14.2 billion profit. Yep, talking about this birth certificate thingy happens to be a pretty good distraction. But not like the distraction of releasing the birth certificate some say it is, or would have you believe.
Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, the only news agency that has waged a relentless investigative campaign on questions swirling around the Obama’s eligibility for nearly three years, was elated at the turn of events.

“We’re gratified that our work has begun to pay off,” he said. “The certificate of live birth is an absolutely vital foundation for determining constitutional eligibility of any president. We look forward to reviewing it like so many other Americans do at this late date. But it is important to remember there are still dozens of other questions concerning this question of eligibility that need to be resolved to assure what has become a very skeptical public concerning Barack Obama’s parentage, his adoption, his citizenship status throughout his life and why he continues to cultivate a culture of secrecy around his life.” (source: WorldNetDaily)But anyway, I’m not sure how I feel about president Obama producing his “long form” version of his birth certificate yesterday. A part of me feels that it was a good move because from here on out those clowns will not be able to say another word about it. Which is total bullshit because even with the birth certificate produced, the loons are still of the opinion that he was born in a Kenyan manger to a virgin white mother (yeah, his daddy didn’t have sex with her; she was pure), and the Three Wise Men showed up and gave little baby Barack the gift of gab, a fake-ass birth certificate, and a basketball, because being on the court is just the thing “the Blacks” do; and do much better then running the greatest imperial nation on the planet.

Then there’s the other side of me that thinks him producing the birth certificate yesterday, isn’t a win. Instead, it’s actually a sign of weakness or bowing down in submission to the ideologically and intellectually bankrupt citizens of the United States. I mean I’ve shown you videos on this site before; you’ve heard them in their own words. Above and beyond being racist, they’re indeed a bunch of ignoramuses. And for me, for my president to bow down – if even symbolic – seriously pisses me off. Yes, so much so that I’m seeing shades of 2008 all over again when they “made him” leave his church of twenty years. I’m not the most religious person in the world, but if a man can be leave his church to appease racist reactionaries who still think he’s Muslim, then…

If I was Barack Obama, before speaking publicly anywhere, I’d walk out to the tune of “Say It Loud (I’m Black And I’m Proud” by James Brown. But then again that might piss off his white side enough to lose votes Still not a bad idea since he had to produce his “long form” slave… oops, I mean freedom papers.

Checkout the reactions of conservatives to the release of the “long form” birth certificate here and here. But in the mean time I gotta ask the following questions: was the release of the “long form” birth certificate a good or bad move? How exactly does this benefit Barack Obama politically? Who won?

They didn’t like me as Superman. Or the President. Or a Black Man. Or a Bi-Partisan. Or a Man of Peace. Or a Man of War.

Liberals say I’m too nice to Tea Baggers. Tea Baggers can’t look past a birth certificate. And Independents want their jobs back with interest.

They want me to get the troops out of Iraq, put them in Egypt, and not invade Libya, and let Duvalier vacation in Haiti. Hunh?

Now I wonder how much farther can a brother be stretched.

Even when I’m right, in their eyes, I will always be wrong.

That’s the Good Ole American way. Now where the fuck is my Batman Cape?

Since we are a Christian nation and it’s the Easter weekend and all. I figured you’d get a kick out of the following Christian America-loving Tea party patriot in the following clip. I don’t have much to say aside from the known fact that Jesus died for our sins, and for the American right to free speech afforded by the constitution per the founding fathers who were in attendance at the last supper.

Even more important to note, is that Jesus loves all the litle children of the world; yes, even the innocent Muslim children killed by U.S. Drone Strikes in Afghanistan and across the border in Pakistan. That’s right, Jesus is/was a tough guy; he’d so support water-boarding and torture. But how tough is/was he actually? Dude couldn’t even survive one measly cricifixion, while Negroes survived the Middle Passage and Slavery? Oh, he must’ve been light-skinned. Anyway, God Bless America; and, big ups to this Christian nation of ours.

(H/T Angry Black Lady)

Last week I’m talking to this lady who identifies as a lifelong Democrat, and supporter of president Obama. I tell her that I too am a supporter, but I didn’t like the idea of him extending the Bush Tax Cuts, and now having to propose cutbacks at the expense of the poor. She then told me that I’m really a Republican because I hate the president and probably believes he’s Kenyan. After that conversation I came to the conclusion that it’s hard to call right-wingers idiots when there are dummies on your side as well.

But hey, closet Republican or not, I know I’m not as blissfully ignorant as some of these fine Republican voters from South Carolina in the following clip.These people would make Preston Brooks proud. And to think that these are the descendants of people who seceded and wanted to have their own country(?). I could be wrong, but something tells me that they should have cut these fools loose back on December 20th, 1860. Hell, one of them even said the gov’t spends too much on education! Can you believe that shit? OK, don’t answer; instead, watch the following and have a good laugh on me.

So president Obama announces his bid for reelection like and hour ago, and these racist-ass Republicans couldn’t wait to start the bullshit. Remember all those supposed-to-be-funny racist emails back during the 2008 campaign? Well, at least one veteran of the race baiting game, California Republican official, Marilyn Davenport, is back at it again. This time, she’s pulling the “Birther” jokes out of her ass. This time, she’s in hot water for circulating an email with the above pic depicting Obama as the offspring of monkeys. The punchline being, hence the reason there’s no birth certificate:

ORANGE COUNTY (CBS) — KCAL9 received a tip about a racist email circulated to some Republican Party members depicting President Obama’s parents as chimpanzees.

This week Marilyn Davenport, a Southern California Tea Party activist and member of the central committee of the Orange County Republican Party circulated what some are calling hate e-mail to an unknown number of her fellow conservatives.

Written under the words, “Now you know why — No birth certificate!”, is an Obama family portrait depicting his parents as chimpanzees.

When asked if she thought the email was appropriate, Davenport is quoted as saying, “Oh, come on! Everybody who knows me knows that I am not a racist. It was a joke. I have friends who are black. Besides, I only sent it to a few people–mostly people I didn’t think would be upset by it.”

Former Chairman of the California Republican Party Michael Schroder has demanded Davenport’s resignation saying it’s not her first brush with racist rhetoric.(source)It’s bad enough that Arizona passed a “Birther” law which requires anyone (who they think is Kenyan) to submit a birth certificate, or show that you’re circumcised (if you have a penis) to be on the ballot. This has never been done before in history (yeah white folks, see how they change rules once Black people get in the game?). Now you have this so-called non-racist because she has Black friends, continuing in racist tradition. Oh yeah, watch the following video and listen to them detail her racist and racism-defending antics as well as those of others. Hopefully Republican officials get her out of there; she gotta go. Everybody knows her, “I have Black friends,” response is quite typical.

Keep it post-racial Teapublicans!
