  • HOUSE TURNS INTO RACIST LYING BLOODBATH FROM HELL: What a great last graf in this New York Times write-up of the hot mess between House Democrats today: “Racial overtones also appeared to creep into the intraparty dispute. One African-American Democrat pointed out that the seven Blue Dogs who were holding up the bill in the Energy and Commerce Committee were ‘a nondiverse group’ of white men.” Why did Barack Obama say this? [NYT]

I’m sure that they were diverse in some respects. Height, tie color, etc?

The Congressional Black Caucus just found out how much the insurance lobby payola IS and they’re mad as hell they’re not getting any.

But did Barry O say that they acted “stupidly”?

Everyone knows that “stupidly” is Secret Democrat Black Caucus Racist Hate Speech for “KILL WHITEY!”

If the Congressional Black Caucus doesn’t stop exhibiting such loud and tumultuous behavior, Sgt. Crowley is going to go into the House and arrest them.

Representative Keith Ellison expressed his displeasure by referring to Representative Mike Ross of Arkansas as a “Cracka-Ass Cracka!”

Representative Ross was unable to respond as his office indicated that he was out of town attending a family reunion in hopes of meeting a girl with whom he could inbreed.

Toomush Infermashun July 24, 2009 at 6:05 pm

Nondiverse, my ass. They probably all have different names…

chascates July 24, 2009 at 6:05 pm

Racism is when blacks cater to blacks. Reverse racism is when blacks complain about racism. Double reverse racism is when blacks complain about whites complaining about blacks’ racism. Blue dogs are always white.
Shit, now I’m confused.

V572625694 July 24, 2009 at 6:06 pm

Institutionally speaking the House has always pretty much always been racist and lying, so adding a bloodbath isn’t that much of a change.

chascates July 24, 2009 at 6:07 pm

And while we’re on the subject of racism I’ve noticed today every police organization in the country has come out in defense of the Cambridge police department. I only have radio but the leaders of said organizations sound mighty white to me. Anyone seen any black police commanders commenting on the subject?

[re=370497]OzoneTom[/re]: They are also diverse in that they receive differing amounts of money from health insurance companies.

If you calibrate the words of the story differently it turns into a piece about Paul Simon eating an ice cream cone with a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of chocolate and a scoop of strawberry and everybody is happy because Sonny Bono is still alive singing songs with Cher.

chascates July 24, 2009 at 7:34 pm

[re=370551]the lady MS. Sheila Dixon[/re]: The answer to my question is from blackamericaweb.com

Ronald Hampton, executive director of the 15,000-member National Black Police Association told McClatchy Newspapers that Obama was “right on point.”
“A post-racial society doesn’t exist,” Hampton, a retired Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police officer, told the newspaper chain. “We’re still in a civil rights era. What happened to Gates happens to poor black and brown people every day.”

I’m a 55-year-old white guy and even I realize that racial profiling is typical police procedure. Thirty years ago I would get questioned by police simply for having long hair. Anyone (of course I’m mean white people here) who thinks this doesn’t happen either doesn’t have any black friends or is living in a bubble.

Personally, I am English/German/French/American Indian/African mix, call myself White, and I can’t stand Italians/Spaniards/Greeks, and am a little uncertain about Poles and other Slavs. So don’t tell me there isn’t diversity among White people! We hate each other as much as we hate anybody else — that’s equality!

Now that we live in post-racial U.S. America, should we expect to see more jugheaded Muggles lose their TV hosting gigs to pointy-hatted wizards? Or, is this just some sort of marketing stunt gone horribly awry?

[re=370657]Darkness[/re]: It’s worse than you think. Tony Alamo was born Bernie LaZar Hoffman to Jewish-Romanian parents.At various points in his life he has also gone by Marcus Abad and Mark Hoffman. But I think the religion, more than the breeding, is what rotted his mind.

It was alleged that 74-year-old Tony Alamo took a girl as young as nine across state lines, but that particular incident might be from way back in 1994 when Alamo was only 59, so it should probably just be considered a “youthful indiscretion.”
