Oh, they aren’t racist at all!
I thought with the election of an African-American that this was supposed to be proof that perhaps America as a whole has elevated itself above race and racism! Nope - it seems that it’s still okay for African-Americans to be outright and out front with their racism:
Congressman: Obama’s Senate Replacement Be Black
Yup - that’s right - an elected, wait - a BLACK elected official came right out and made this racist statement - in fact - he said “it would be a “national disgrace” if Obama’s seat were not filled by an African American. Oh, it should also be noted that Congressman Rush is an ex-Black Panther.
What do you think would happen if, let’s say, Bill Clinton came out and said - Hillary’s replacement MUST be a WHITE WOMAN? Or, what if Congressman Castle from Delaware came out and point blank said - Joe Biden’s seat MUST be filled with a WHITE MAN! There would be a national uproar by all African-Americans in this country. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be DEMANDING the resignation of those Congressman and would be all over the news and talk shows denouncing such “hate speech.” Why is it that blacks can be openly racist and get away with it? Where is the outcry? Why isn’t anyone demanding Congressman Rush’s resignation?
Why hasn’t Obama come out and denounced this clearly racist statement? I thought Obama was supposed to be a unifying individual? If he were, he’d be the first one to come out and call that statement what it is - racist. He needs to come out and say that the most qualified individual, regardless of race or gender should be appointed. Why isn’t Obama stepping up?
Oh - that’s right - I forgot - only white’s are racist. Hogwash!
Tell me something I don’t know….
It’s interesting that with Obama gone there won’t be a single African American in the Senate, but still, this is a call for affirmative action at its second worst (#1 belongs to Palincomparison). I don’t pay any heed to anyone with the name “Rush.”
Yeah, even though I’m Asian-American, I’m a racist because I voted for Mac. And I’ve been an “honorary” member of the Klan for the last 5 years!
