Say Anything: Dems In Maryland: Racist Attacks A-Ok!

    "Because he is a conservative, he is different than most public blacks, and he is different than most people in our community," she said. "His politics are not in the best interest of the masses of black people."
    Now here's an interesting question: is it racist when one black person targets another black?

    Yes, to judge someone on the color of their skin is to be racist.

    The attacks by Steele's opposition are racist and shameful, and they should be held accountable for hate crimes.

    In 2001, Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. called Mr. Steele an "Uncle Tom," when Mr. Steele headed the state Republican Party. Mr. Miller, Prince George's County Democrat, later apologized for the remark.
    "That's not racial. If they call him the "N' word, that's racial," Mrs. Marriott said. "Just because he's black, everything bad you say about him isn't racial."

    If you pelt someone with oreos, you are judging someone by their skin. That's racist.
    If you call someone Uncle Tom, you are judging someone by their skin. That's racist.
    If you call someone a nigger, you are judging someone by their skin. That's racist.
    There is no difference, and Delegate Salima Siler Marriott, a black Baltimore Democrat, is just trying to justify the racist politics her party is implementing in this election. She should be ashamed for herself, her community and for pushing back racial equality 50 years into the past.

    'he is different than most people in our community," she said. "His politics are not in the best interest of the masses of black people."'

    The patronizing racism of that statement can't be exaggerated.

    'is it racist when one black person targets another black? '

    That's a joke right?

    I can only imagine the howling by the Dems and the media if the shoe was on the other foot.

    They were talking about this on Fox over lunch today. Quite the heated argument really. They actually had a guy on there to argue the point of it not being racist and that it was being taken out of context and he pretty much got booed off of the stage. That and the woman on the stage with him(Michelle Malkin?) pretty much tore him up.

    Anybody surprised by this? I know that I am not. These attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele are just par for the course. The Democrats and the left in general are racist. Period. All the while they claim that they are not racist and it is the right who is, but all one has to do is pay a bit of attention and the truth becomes clear.

    Favorite leftist smears: "House Nigger", "Uncle Tom", "Aunt Jemima", "Oreo", and more. Go to your local Democrat meeting or a KKK meeting to get more insults. Those two groups often use the same language.

    In other words,...

    To be a Democrat you have to believe that conservatives are racists, but that black people couldn't make it without your help.

    As I've never been to a KKK meeting, I'll defer to you on that subject.

    Actually that's called prejudice.

    Not exactly sure what your goal is by nitpicking the definition of racism, but here ya go...

    http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=racism

    "discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race"

    What these fools are doing is racism based on prejudice, if you really want to label it that bad.

    Relax man, I'm just giving you a hard time. A lot of people on this blog nitpick things like that and it gets annoying. I was just being a dick and trying to mock nitpicking. I can see that its probably only humorus to me. Sorry if I offended you.

    Looks like the "oreo" story is a lie.

    You got me. I was like 'what's it matter?'
    Thanks for clearing it up.

    How do you figure Dave?

    When words are a different color in a sentence on this blog (like this, for example), that's a sign that it's a "hyperlink", which means that by clicking on it you will get to a different website. In the aforementioned post, the word "lie" leads to a different site which explains how the "oreo" story was a lie.

    Yeah that's nice Dave. I'll ask again: can you show me where the "lie" is? I see where the story might be unsubstantiated and I do see a couple of assertions by people who dispute the story, but I don't see where the lie is. Understand the difference?

    It's a like because the nuts at 'Kos said so.

    Dummy.

    When you can't refute the facts, attack the source! :roll:

    It's funny--would the facts have changed if I'd used this article instead of the Daily Kos story talking about that same article?

    Several debate attendees, however, could not corroborate Ehrlich and Schurick's version of events.

    "It didn't happen here," said Vander Harris, operations manager of the Murphy Fine Arts Building at Morgan State. "I was in on the cleanup, and we found no cookies or anything else abnormal. There were no Oreo cookies thrown."

    The incident is said to have occurred when Steele walked to his seat before the debate started, not during the event on stage when it would have been captured on video. Newspaper articles and television news reports from that night didn't mention it, and representatives of the news departments at television stations WBAL, WJZ and WMAR and Maryland Public Television said they have no video of the incident.

    (...)Steele was quoted in two articles that appeared in the next day's newspaper talking about the pro-Townsend crowd and what he called race-baiting by her campaign, but he said nothing about cookies.
  • Rob · 4 years ago
    It was just a joke, Davey. Sorry, jeez.

    Regardless, the fact that Steele didn't mention the cookies is hardly concrete proof that it never happened. I mean, suppose somebody stole my car radio...is that a non-existent event until I tell you about it?
