"Disarm the Negroes"

[CatWoman]

Darrell Galloway
Chairman
Paulding County Republican Party
Dallas, Georgia

Dear Chairman Galloway,

I was looking through the "Obama Stack of Stuff" you have on the party's home page when I noticed something I was afraid we'd forsaken in Dixie, the gentle language of our beloved Confederacy. I can't recall the last time I'd seen the word, "negro," used in an official party publication. I'm glad to see it's still in the Paulding County Republican vocabulary.

I know it may seem like a little thing, but in these politically correct times, it's become nearly impossible to use Confederate racial identifiers, even those like "negro," which were traditionally used by the more polite segregationists to gently remind their darker-hued neighbors across the tracks about their place in society.

You should also be commended for the clever way you placed the word on the page itself. Scanning down the screen, one can't miss the bolded header "Disarm the Negroes". It's like a road block for the eye. One's attention is immediately drawn to it, and then, shortly after that, to the Barack Obama links reinforcing our perceptions of his "otherness" with headlines like, "A spry Farrakhan sings Obama's praises," "Obama and the Farrakhan Trap," "Obama Served On Board That Funded Pro-Palestinian Group," and "Obama's Candidacy 'Speaks to Muslims Abroad.'" It's a masterful example of the racist dog whistle in action. First you trot out a term traditionally used to diminish those of his race, then you play on the racially-based fears many whites continue to hold by portraying him as a radical black man.

Our Confederate forefathers would be proud.

Heterosexually yours,

Gen. JC Christian, patriot

8. (Psst. It's satire.)

The General writes 'supportive' letters to bigots and wingnuts in order to show what asses they are. Often, they actually fall for it.

Please go to your local shop and have your satire detector checked. that is all.

18. Does it belong here?

You all like to pretend that is what Hillary supporters are all about.

Just another chance for the Obamatized to play the race card whenever he gets himself into trouble.

9. The letter is satirical, but I feel sure that the Paulding County (GA) Republican Party

involves white supremacists and others of like mind.

6. I followed the links back to the Paulding County Republican Party website.

That is one appalling piece of sh*t, that is. I am putting Paulding County, GA on my list of places to never, ever visit.

7. That's a heavy load on your shoulder.

Why not reach up there and brush it off. Yep. Let go of the load and enjoy life instead. It may be true that life sucks and is terribly unfair, but then so is cancer, poverty, deformity etc., etc. Count your blessings and quit trying to tell us how other people think. You really don't know anyway.

11. See Post #8.

I think you may be missing the point.

14. Ohhhhh, I'm gonna get in trouble for this....

I checked out the website and the source of the article.

Actually it's a misguided argument against the state's gun-control laws, claiming they are based on racism. It cites how the gun laws were used against African Americans.

The headline "Disarm the Negroes" is used in a sarcastic way, and is based on the headline of a newspaper article that used that phrase to incite fear among whites.

So the Horseshit County GOP committee was attempting to use anti-racism to attack gun control.

Beat me, beat me....

15. you know how much I love you

now, why would I beat you?

:loveya:

[Armstead]

17. Because you love me

19. Germ of truth in that

Gun control started as a way to disarm the southern blacks and poor.
