Yo, it’s no joke. When he get’s in I’m not jaywalkin’. anyone of notoriety better walk a straight line; Athletes, Actors, Public Officials, and especially the Black Clergy.
I think about the backlash on Blacks after Jack Johnson won the heavyweight title. Maybe not to that extent but you know they’re gonna be hot as fish grease. This is the sheild they’ve been hiding behind for 300 years and it’s about to be passed off and they can’t take it.
Because McCain is losing so badly, only the dredges of US society are supporting him. I think it is great these people are coming out into the open and getting exposure. They can’t hide anymore. They are showing themselves to be stupid, happily ignorant, and easily controlled.
They are a minority that will shrink the more people see how mean and stupid they really are.
A big difference with Jack Johnson is that he rubbed their faces in it. Barrack is working very hard to create a connection and not be over the top at all. Obviously there are issues with that, but he would never have gotten to where he is without.
OMG. That’s in Ohio where I am. I work like 10 minutes from where that was held. I wish I could defend that. I wish I could say I am surprised but it is what it is. I wonder what the world will be like the day after Mr. Obama wins. Will it burn a la L.A. after the Simpson trial?
Xenophobia at its very worst. Thanks for the link. In my experience, pretty much restricted to large metropolitan areas like Chicago, Seattle, and New York, these people are thankfully a rarity. Take heart that most of white America is not like this (were that not the case then Obama wouldn’t be poised to win this election; he’d be marginalized into Jesse Jackson territory).
Elliot you are the last of your kind on TSF. Tread lightly or Be Peace. It’s cool if you disagree (we welcome that), but the clown shit is not cool. Whenever an adjective like that comes out the mouth of the likes of you, we all know word you really wanted to type.
Mizzo — it’s not really fair of you to jump all over Elliot and tell him to tread lightly, when the very first post on this thread by the thebrotherreport effectively dismissed all caucasians as the most ignorant and arrogant race on the planet. Yet you said nothing to him. Why?
Yes I agree it is a problem. I mean look at the 16 comments here. thebrotherreport says we/I are/am the most ignorant people, and I certainly agree. Then Dajon immediately calls out thebrotherreport. In 16 comments on this blog, someone can’t speak the truth. It is sad and frustrating.
How many thousands of people know what Jeremiah Wright said was simply true, but can’t say it in public? It is crazy. The rightwing radio people can say all kinds of crazy things with no response. But if you speak the truth about race or class in this country, people get all up in arms, BECAUSE they are so ignorant and arrogant!
Obama being elected will change things a little bit (society takes long slow steps forward). All those whites in glass houses will be better off in 4 years and will have to accept that a black man helped their lives and their country.
So, Glenn, because there exists a youtube video of some ignorant honkies then this means that white people are clearly the most ignorant and arrogant people on the planet, to the exclusion of all others? What exactly is your standard for “the truth?” If I furnished you a picture of some bucktoothed chinaman, you’d conclude that Chinese people had the most fucked up protruding teeth on the planet, in general? And then you’d complain if I called you out, because I’d be attempting to suppress what you deem to be “the truth?” I wouldn’t suppose you’d want to offer up any evidence for your absurd categorical generalizations would you? Just because you’re playing the house honkey and find a few friendly ears here doesn’t make you right.
Me, I’m for the elimination of all ignorance, particularly of the sweeping racial categorization variety in which thebrotherreport engaged. It’s just wrong, coming from any side.
I am also all for the elimination of all ignorance for everyone. But white Americans that go around talking about America being the greatest country in the world if not not the greatest in the history of mankind while there is a whole list of sick things that happen here (poverty, 1/3 of black young men in prison, education, profiting off war and terrorism, etc.) are just ignorant. And they are a special kind of ignorant because they have to work hard to ignore what is going on around them.
Is it not the truth that 1/3 of black young men are in prison? Is it not the truth that the country ignores it? That is the kind of truth I am talking about.
And yes, I am confident that being the house honkey does not make me right. Just as you being angry does not make you right.
I hope those racist conservative trolls and Mc Cain/Palin supporters watch “The Spook Who Sat By The Door”. If they want America to look like Belfast and Serbia then keep playing those racist cards, African- Americans (esp Males) are tired of conservatives pushing us around and if they think after this election there will be American unity amongst Blacks and others if Obama wins or loses they are dreaming.
Nor will there be riots in the projects or in Black America if the GOP wins there will have a silent black revolution with more calls for racial separation but not from the usual Black Radical leaders it will be people like me and other blacks in the racial middle who just wanted to be left alone. So please keep the race hate coming Mc Cain and the white trash dream of a race war may happen but none of us will like the results.
P.S. There are no RFK, MLK, Black and White Leaders of moral standing who will be able to put the pieces back together. Palin, Mc Cain and Fox News are playing with fire and If true White Conservatives or Liberal allies can’t tell these people they are causing permanment damage in this country then you get the country you deserve.
Like others said, this shit is not just on McCain-Palin, but mainstream media not named Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow. McCain-Palin know exactly what they are doing, just how dumb/hateful their audiences are, and it is up to the media to call it out. Not just report in in as “neutral fashion”. These mobs are getting worse every day at everyone of the McCain rallies as he just sits there in silence while they yell “terrorist” and “Osama”.
[...] audience that Obama “doesn’t see America like you or I see America” – those scary mob crowds at McCain rallies, – how McCain had fanned the flames to where he could barely control those [...]

Man, these people need to burn. I’ve never seen a race so ignorant and arrogant. White Privilege is about to run out in about three weeks.

Glen that’s the biggest problem I have with all of this.

I’ll admit, those people are not who I’d like to see representing white people out there.
No more than you clowns are proud of these fine citizens at hotghettomess.com. I know you’ve seen it. It’s crazy, son.
What’s the IQ of every person on that website combined…
-500?

TBR:
You’re kidding about this “privilege” running out in 3 weeks — right? If not, how exactly do you see that evaporation unfolding?
October 10th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Saldy enough, I know it isn’t going to run out in three weeks, just wishful thinking on my part.

Who made racial categorization an issue in this country?
Did I mean all white people of course not, I’m not that ignorant.
But if the shoe fits…
