Wow! Coretta sure flushed the racists out of their hidey holes.

[trumad]

The holes aren't too deep... They're right under the surface. Scratch em a bit and bang---- they pop out. Just take a look at Media Matters' web site tonight and you'll see what I mean.

How any Black man could be in the Republican party is beyond me.

[WillyT]

1. Oh Yeah She Did !!!

:kick:

[JuniperLea]

2. The thought of Repub Blacks makes me scratch my head too...

unless their real color is green... the color of money. That being said, and with the knowledge that there is only a 2% approval rating of the Shrub by Blacks... there sure are a lot more greedy white people than Black people!

[bush_is_wacko]

7. It's pretty simple really... A whole lot of African Americans belong to

Baptist churches. Homosexuality is a BIG deal to them. Baptists really do take their bibles literally. It is a fire and brimstone style of religion. I've been to exactly 2 al white Baptist churches and I was really blown away by the fact that parents let their children sit on the floor right in front of the preacher while he sits there telling them they are all sinners, hands flailing and hitting the podium all the while. I would NEVER let my children learn religion that way, NEVER! You can thank all those nice folks that gave the "heathens" religion when they were brought to America as slaves.

I am not calling anyone a heathen, BTW, just referring to what all those southerners who owned slaves thought of them and their lack of faith in the southern religion!

I don't think most African Americans realize that they are still following the religion their greatest persecutors passed down to them. It's kind of sad really.

On Edit: BAPTIST often = REPUBLICAN

[Erika]

True. These churches should not consider themselves as

Christian. They do not espouse Christ's ideals of love and forgiveness.

I do not share the respect shown to the Founding Fathers. They were both racist and sexist and very much for the rich at the cost to the poor. Bushbots.

[JuniperLea]

13. Still, bashing a Black church like that

Is just wrong!

Black people of strong faith are some of our most valuable citizens. Not everyone can be Catholic or Methodist Christians... there are many different religions because there are many different levels of spirituality.

You are not giving Black people enough credit here and I think that is wrong. Who are you to judge their church?

[Erika]

33. There were black churches & white churches burned

What are you talking about?

[JuniperLea]

52. From the post I was responding to...

[trumad]

35. I have no clue what you're talking about?

16. Ok... Now I'm Confused Again !!!

:shrug:

[MADem]

14. Jesse Jackson gave a great talk on that "topic" awhile back

He basically told his church audience to grow the fuck up, and start looking at issues that were personally important to them, like poverty, health care, strong families, keeping crime out of neighborhoods...and stop waving the 'oooooh, gay!' shirt....

He didn't say it like that, but that was his point. It was well done, and slammed the point home--worry about the BIG STUFF, ya putzes!!!

[EstimatedProphet]

15. You can't judge African American churches by white churches

even if they are both Baptist. They have some things in common, but they are not the same at all. go to both to see.

[sasha031]

3. Whoa, what a disgusting lot aren't they

[Balbus]

4. "How any Black man could be in the Republican party is beyond me. "

and BANG - out pops Trumad with a racist statement.

Does Coretta get credit for this one also?

[democracyindanger]

5. How's that?

[Senator Obama]

6. Just how is that statement RACIST?

please elaborate. You've got this black man very confused.

Perhaps you can enlighten me?

Obama

8. Really ??? - Here's What JC Watt's Father Had To Say On The Subject:

JC Watts -> Black Man...

<snip>

Of the 271 Republicans in the House and Senate, Watts is the only African American and one of only four nonwhites. Although several black Republicans are running in November, none is favored to win, raising the prospect that Republicans may be without a black member of Congress for several years to come.

It is a situation, as the party is trying to expand its traditional white base, that alarms some Republican leaders.

President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney each phoned Watts in an attempt to talk him out of his decision, which apparently was reached over the weekend. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said he was disappointed, and Republican strategists acknowledged that it would be harder to persuade black Americans -- who already vote overwhelmingly for Democrats -- to join their party.

Probably no one articulates the Republican Party's predicament better than Watts' father, a lifelong Democrat.

"A black man voting for the Republicans makes about as much sense as a chicken voting for Col. Sanders," the elder Watts has said on more than one occasion.

So now what ya gotta say???

:popcorn:

[Erika]

36. Ah, the wisdom of our elders! n/t

[JuniperLea]

9. Now, how in the hell do you get "racist statement" out of that?

Unfreakingbelieveable!!!

[northofdenali]

10. OK, Balbus, you lost me as well.

Now I AM confused (of course, this is GD..)

[JanMichael]

11. Huh? How could a Jew be a Nazi?

See there are some things that are pretty fucking obviously WRONG.

[JuniperLea]

12. Well said!

Same exact deal!

[MADem]

17. Well, JC Watts' daddy must be one hell of a racist, then

He said that black folks voting for a Republican is like the chickens voting for COL Sanders...and I do tend to agree with JC's pop!

[CatWoman]

18. what the fuck are you talking about?

[trumad]

21. LOL

Wow--thanks all for coming to my defense...

I'm a big fan of Steve Gilliard and his blog--- http://stevegilliard.blogspot.com/

I guess he's rubbing off on me...

On edit-- Steve slams guys like Lynn Swann and Kenneth Blackwell for throwing in with the racist party. Repubs.

[KingFlorez]

19. Racist?

You need to get a dictionary, so you can find out what that means. Given the GOP's track record, why should black people vote for them?

[Serenades]

22. Hmmmmm.

Another black man checking in here . . . I'd like to know how it is racist as well. It's simply a fact. Sometimes things need to be said without political correctness. Hell, I'd take it a step further. How can a woman or any other minority be in the Republican party? The Republican party represents the rich white man and that's it. Democrats aren't much better but most blacks pick the lesser of the two evils.

[Roho]

26. amen brother

this sister agrees

[Catherine Vincent]

23. oh sweetie, you're confused

That's not a racist statement. I say that all the time, and I'm colored!

[madrchsod]

20. aryan nation talking points-----

on every Aryan nation site on the web the same thing is being written, of course they don`t use all the "bad words" but the message is just the same. as one of the few people here at du that actually reads a certain aryan nation
(73,000 members across the world) site daily, i know for a fact that there is no difference between the "respectable" republicans and the brown shirt stormtroopers

27. Since only about 2% of African Americans support Busholini

are you advancing the despicable racial slur that the other 98% are not intelligent?

Or, since Republicans have opposed every civil rights measure in at least 50 years, wouldn't it be more accurate to say that the Bush supporters are the ones who aren't so smart?

What have Democrats done? Well, starting with Jack and Bobby Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and the Civil Rights Act... a whole hell of a lot more than Bush's brownshirts...

[trumad]

29. engaing a troll can be bad for your heatlh...

LOL--plus it's a waist of your precious mind. ;-)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. You're right, of course.

But some of them present such fat, tempting targets. That one was a fish in a barrel.

[Roho]

30. If your post stays

I'm outta here.

Imagine going to the trouble signing up to post that shit.

you must suck in bed. premature ejaculation is a real turn off.

[trumad]

32. It has about as much a chance of staying on DU

as me having a sexual encounter with Pam Anderson.

[Roho]

37. well

I've been called a cowardly terrorist sympathizer and a hezbollah style extremists who advocates muslim violence today and both of those posts stayed while several of my posts calling these racists on their bs were deleted.

btw, I never did condone the violence instead I was indignant about the broad brush "muslims are all maniacs" posts.

[Erika]

34. So the GOP is now pandering to blacks?

Yep.

[Serenades]

38. Seriously

Is this a freaking joke? What has the Republican party as it is today done for Black America? Talk about how lazy and stupid we are? Act like we all have abortions and baby-daddies? Advocate killing every black baby? Talk about how electing Strom Thurmond would have been better for the USA back in the day? Talk about how unpatriotic we are even when we fought in wars we were treated like dirt when we came back to the USA? Did the Repubs help Black America out during Katrina? Does the Repub party seek to understand plights concerning blacks or do they just say "pull ya self up from dem bootstraps," even though some have no boots? Or is it good when the Repubs tell us how there is no racism, racial profiling is good, there was nothing wrong with beating up that black dude on the video tape, etc.?

I'm waiting . . .

[Erika]

40. I actually read a GOP paper on how blacks should thank us

for bringing them here from Africa (through slavery).

The republicans do not have a clue.

[CatWoman]

39. and only ignorant cock suckers

make dumb ass comments like yours.

[Catherine Vincent]

43. Cat Woman!

tonight!!! :rofl:

[JanMichael]

50. Republicans won't understand you: you have to write "cocksucker"

in three syllables....

You know...like "sumbich."

They aren't that bright.

[Catherine Vincent]

41. How do you figure white republicans?

They voted for the Chimp. That would make them unintelligent to the max.

[EstimatedProphet]

42. Yay! a genius!

Are you claiming that the REPUBLICANS have done something for blacks?

:spray:

[JanMichael]

46. "What HAS Dems done for blacks?"

Lemme guess....you think you qualify as an intelligent Republican, right?

And a personal note from me (my name is Stephanie) :

Fuck off.

[Carni]

51. Only the rednecked wannabes or insanely wealthy whores vote Republican

I am assuming you fall into the former category.

Just a wild guess.

[madrchsod]

45. dam---- i flushed out that piece of shit fast enough

i wonder what site it`s from....

[WillyT]

48. www.FromUnderARock.pus !!!

I think that's the site.

:shrug:

[LittleClarkie]

49. I wonder how their campaign to get more minorities to vote Republican

is going.
