Howard Dean was right. Not a black face in the crowd

Bush addressing the southern Baptist convention:

[graywarrior]

1. Has a Big Brother aura to it.

[gratuitous]

2. By noticing their racism

It proves you're a racist!

Freeper logic: It works for everything. More versatile than duct tape. No brain required; in fact, it kind of helps if you don't have one.

[CatWoman]

19. you don't know how many times I've been called a racist

Because I can't stand Condi Rice.

[gratuitous]

22. Well, you're only supposed to hate black people for being black

If you object to a black person's policies and positions, then you're a racist! It's all so simple with Freeper Logic! Second lobotomy optional, but recommended.

[Cleita]

23. I can't stand her either and it has nothing to do with her race.

I'm getting a bit pissed with Oprah too for coddling my Gov. Groper, Arnold.

[Richard Steele]

27. Exactly! That's the real intent of their 'ColorBlind Society' DoubleSpeak!

Their bottom line:
"Anyone who sees any RACISM...must be a RACIST!"

It's the ultimate pinnacle of 'circular logic'.

Look at it:

1: "We don't view individuals in terms of any particular:
A:'skin tone' or
B:'ethnic backround'.

1.1: "Such categories
(A,B, and all sub-categories of both)
are inherently RACIST designations."

1.1.1: Anyone who categorizes people in such a fashion is a RACIST.

2: 'RACISM" is based upon LABELING people as members of Categories A and/or B,
(and all sub-categories),
rather than respecting them as individuals with inherent self-worth.

3: Anyone who claims to perceive 'racism'is claiming that:
persons belonging to a certain CATEGORY
are mistreating persons belonging to another CATEGORY.

3.1: Such claims LABEL both:
a: The perpetrators of crimes
AND
b: the victims of those crimes
As MEMBERS of the aforementioned 'categories'.

4: See item 1.1.1

4.1: Sit down and shut the fuck up.
You'll live longer.

3. I guess his token black guys are only part-timers.

They must've had the day off.

[sasquatch]

4. There's more Crackers in that place than a Nebesco Warhouse

[dogday]

5. Apparently Their God Is Color Blind

It is a shame because they are the ones giving Christians a bad name.

[Larkspur]

6. Maybe the blacks got bleached?

:evilgrin:

[KittyWampus]

7. I see a couple of faces that might be black. Don't forget that black minis

ministers want that faith based initiative money. And just because they're doing it for the money doesn't make the end result any less real for Democrats or America.

And I do NOT want the faux Extremist "Christians" lumped in with those of us who actually try and live up to the Christian tenents.

Also, why don't you find a better pix of the crowd. You can't even see the people that well.

[ComerPerro]

8. Oh, no... They're there. But they are the "safe" ones

That's the new racism. Trust me, I know tons of conservatives, and they all espouse the same views.

There was a time when the racists could be identified by their mantra of "Blacks are inferior" or "all black people are lazy".

But now, they are more covert about it, and they always qualify their case. They will even give an example, to show how unbigoted they think they are.

The new take on that would be, "Steve at work is black, and he's a good guy. But most black people are just lazy and are living off welfare."


That's the new face.

So, I can assure you that there are black people in that crowd, somewhere.

But I can also tell you with certainty that those very same people are used as examples by the whites, to prove that they "have black friends" and to justify their racist nonsense.

9. Wait! I spot one!

Nevermind. That is sad though. I'm glad we're the party of diversitiy.

[xultar]

10. Nevermind, I shouldn't have even replied in this thread.

[bklyncowgirl]

11. Whoa wait a minute, that guy with the mustache, Hispanic?

Dude in the third row on the left behind the old guy who looks like he just swallowed something sour.

Or maybe not.

Aside form him it looks like a sea of the melanin deprived to me. (speaking as one of the melanin deprived, of course)

[aden_nak]

12. There's one guy with a bald head and a tan, dead center.

That's about as close as they come, though.

[Justitia]

13. and they are OLD, white "christians", mostly old, white, MEN. -eom

[dbt]

14. Hey! Ain't them Babdists worshippin' a Graven Image there?

Next thing you know, they'll be a-daincin'!

:evilgrin:
dbt
Baptist-free since 1967

[Cleita]

15. If you scrutinize a lot of pictures of him in front of a crowd, you

will see very few non-white people there. Also, I don't remember ever seeing him attend an African American Church like Bill Clinton did.

[Beaver Tail]

16. Thought I saw MJ in there

[dbt]

18. Don't you think there's a REAL good reason for that?

(Him not DARING to set foot in a Black church, I mean)

:rofl:

[killbotfactory]

17. That's a seriously creepy picture

*shudder*

[ozymandius]

20. Does anyone remember why the Southern Baptists split from the national

Baptist organization?

Slavery.

The Southern Baptists defended the practice. So if there are any blacks there, they need a rude education about their group.

[Justitia]

21. no kidding. -eom

[AX10]

24. ewwwwwwwwwww.

That is frightning.
:scared:

[obnoxiousdrunk]

25. All I see is small red cross
