"They've Called George Bush Everything But A Whiteman" |
|
A caller on C-Span's Washington Journal says about Reid and Pelosi, "They've called George Bush everything but a whiteman". Then she went on a Christian persecution blathering rant.
She hasn't got a clue ...

Did you catch how conveniently her husband couldn't go to Iraq, and how disappointed she sounded? Of course, she still supports the war - she's a patriot!

7. Welcome To Today's Republican South |
|
The Civil Rights Movement didn't do a damned thing to reduce racism in the south. All it did was change the language. Unfortunately for the woman who called in this woman clearly didn't get the word on how she should talk.
I hate them.

6. I hate to be stupid but what does she mean? |
|
The rest of it shows what I mean when I say we all do not read the same news. We see things in our own history.

8. My son, who is 28, had never heard the expression before either. |

Edited on Sun Nov-05-06 09:10 AM by rzemanfl
when he heard it in a conversation yesterday. It was common in the politically incorrect racist days when I was his age. It means throughly insulted verbally.

11. I am over 70 and have heard 'whiteman' used but not like this |
|
I lived in the South when they 'did' the schools and my children were in the middle of it. And how she used it did not ring a bell for me at all. I have usually heard it used on a black man, saying he thinks he is a 'whiteman'. To be frank it is just out of my line of thinking. The second time I lived in the South I really lost it. They, the whites, did something with signs and all that and I never did figure it out. I would look at a womens bath room in a store and two doors with the same sign and it just did not get to me which one I went into. It made blacks laugh with me and whites get mad at me. I just never got it. It took me ages calling on phone and never getting a answer until I came in and I finally asked. Why can't you just tell me these things on the phone and finally some one told me. Well you may be a black from the North so we had to see you'. My shock was just out of bounds. In America.

15. Maybe it is a regional thing. When I say "a horse a piece" |
|
in Florida, I get blank stares. It means "six of one a half dozen of another." It is a common expression in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Comes from a dice game commonly played in taverns to determine who buys drinks.

9. That kinda talk works here in Tennessee. |
|
I'm so sad to see my state voting for that racist pig corker. I knew when that ad came out showing Harold Ford and the next frame was a 'white woman', these people around here would grab their guns and bibles and head out to the polls armed with their hate and little else. So sad.

It's a given and didn't need to be said.

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) was asked what he thought about the President{sic}.
"Well," he said, "I really think he shatters the myth of white supremacy once and for all."

14. They Should Put A Disclaimer On These Calls... |
|
...paid for by the RNC. LOL. Even though I think these calls are showing how disconnected, mean-spirited and illogical the modern-day GOOP is. They're trying to stick something/anything on a Democrat...and it's not working. Besides being amusing to hear these losers whistle past the graveyard, it's surely not winning any votes. In the battle of American Hearts & Minds, the GOOP and the booosh regime's shock and awe is having the same effects here as it is in Baghdad.

18. Thats a nice little racist term we use often here in the south. |
|
I have, and even slip and use it myself once and a blue moon(old habits die hard ya know). It and all variants insinuate blacks don't deserve the same respect, and are not as good as whites. Thats their very meaning at the core. I cringe now when i hear it, even more if i slip and use it.
