Yep Republicans are the only racists.

It must of been a republican that said

"You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent."

I wonder who said

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy…”

Some republican probably. No wait that was Joe Biden again.

 

Joe Biden is the most racist person in this campaign when it comes to the people up top.

The Indian comment was definitely racists. However, I do not take offense to the articulate comment. I am offended when someone calls me boy but Joe grew up in a different time, different age and I will give him a pass on the Obama comment - but not on the Indian comment. Good call.

What I am saying is - there is no way New Orleans could have evacuated that many folks in that short amount of time. The SuperDome IS a fallout shelter. Had supplies been dropped to the folks there, they would have been fine. However, folks that tried to walk out over a bridge were turned away or shot. They were treated like second-class citizens. Was it their fault that they couldn't leave? The city is already under sea level, and to order a mandatory evacuation - and nada happens - who would foot that bill? Based on that - and the fact that the SuperDome is a nuclear fallout shelter - all the folks in N.O. needed were supplies. Drop them in by helo - or use amphibous tanks or ships to get the supplies in. I agree with you, Pig, that Bush and Co. messed up. And yeah, in retrospect, Blanco and Nagin share some blame - but not as much as the CINC.

Edit: About 'people like you.' You (and your *people*) have it great, man. My people, not so much. Just 40 years ago, my people, not yours, were strung up and we had to fight for the right to vote, and not worry about being lynched. Please, let's not go there.

 

 

It's not offensive to Obama. It's offensive to other black person ever. Or it should be to you. He said Barak Obama was the first mainstream, articulate, clean, bright good looking black person ever!

I mean... I can think of a few black people who fit that bill before him.

He also blamed black people for Washingtons school system sucking.

“When you have children coming from dysfunctional homes, when you have children coming from homes where there’s no books, where the mother from the time they’re born doesn’t talk to them — as opposed to the mother in Iowa who’s sitting out there and talks to them, the kid starts out with a 300 word larger vocabulary at age three. Half this education gap exists before the kid steps foot in the classroom,” the Delaware Democrat added.

That you don't find racist?

How is this statement - “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy…” racist? In the context of what he was saying, I don't find it offensive and I'm not saying that because I'm voting for Obama/Biden 08.

Trust me - I've heard some very disrespectful, racist remarks in my time on Earth.

What I do find offensive is stuff like the Obama food stamp, this bright statement by Bill O'Reilly:

Bill O'Reilly reported that he "couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship." O'Reilly added: "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M-Fer, I want more iced tea.'

and pretty much anything that comes out of Rush Limpnoodle's pie hole is offensive - Barack the magic Negro?!

I don't sweat small stuff - folks make mistakes or are just playing around. However, if the intent is there and I am close enough, we'll have a small chat. I am direct and won't sugarcoat - I'll pull you aside and tell you - in no certain terms - that you have passed a barrier and should retreat before a beatdown ensues.
