A Web site where the Obama family is called 'street ghetto trash'

The Daily Voice ^ | July 13, 2009 | Dr. Christopher J. Metzler, associate dean at Georgetown University

[Jim Robinson]

"To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds." Photo caption of Michelle Obama speaking to her daughter Malia posted on The Free Republic.

Disclaimer on The Free Republic: "Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government. "

For those of you who have argued vociferously with me that we are living in a "post-racial America" rather than an America in which Jim Crow is on steroids, you apparently have not read the daily diet of racism that the readers and bloggers on this site consume and then regurgitate. The photo caption above was posted with a blog in which comments included:

"Could you imagine what world leaders must be thinking seeing this kind of street trash and that we paid for this kind of street ghetto trash to go over there?"

"They make me sick .... The whole family... mammy, pappy, the free loadin' mammy-in-law, the misguided chillin', and especially 'lil cuz... This is not the America I want representin' my peeps.

First, it is easy to dismiss these comments as isolated incidents posted on a right-wing vestige. To do so of course would completely miss the point. Moreover, these comments show the continuing significance of race in a country that has become so enamored with the election of its first Black President. In fact, far too many of us are content only with the symbolism and dismiss the substance. I have heard many say that he can't tackle race in his first term but that he will do it in his second.

[Jim Robinson]

"The reality is that Bull Conner, the Grand Wizards and members of the KKK and the Aryan Nation have been replaced by the writers, editors and owners of The Free Republic who through the use of technology have more power to spread hate and racism that any of the three aforementioned entities combined. The Free Republic is the modern day racist engine that a majority of Conservatives rely on to indoctrinate an old and new generation of race peddlers and demagogues. Of course, the site owner is also a "sensitive" man."

"According to site owner, Jim Thompson, "We should steer clear of Obama's children. They can't help it if their old man is an American-hating Marxist pig."

"Racial thinking will not be cured by a single event no matter how powerful that event. Websites like The Free Republic provide a gathering place for Whites who are convinced that the election of a Black President means the end of White power and the introduction of Negro rule. For those of you who wish to quibble with me about whether President Obama is Black or multi-racial; I say that the readers of The Free Republic are not confused. Their arguments are not based in multiculturalism, they are based in naked racial stereotypes that have been and continue to be assigned to Blacks."

This Jim Thompson feller sure gets around. What do these guys do besides plagiarize and regurgitate the same old tired circular b/s. They might try a little independent investigation before getting all high and mighty and blowing crap out of their pie holes.

FR is the KKK? This freaking idiot PHD piles it higher than B/S can be stacked!

Effen socialist libtard! What kind of man is produced in our universities today? This is not the America I remember. But I'm sure this racist fool is happy about that. Marxism destroys all in its path. If only they knew. These useful idiots will be first in the ovens.

Freedom is never more than one generation from being extinct.

May your chains set lightly upon you.

So what bullsh!t liberal arts degree does the good doctor have?

[trisham]

Bump!

[TNdandelion]

Street ghetto trash....is that something like Alaska trailer trash?

[JimBianchi11]

Why is this being posted here?

Way over the line.

[bruinbirdman]

He's just a typical white PHD person.

yitbos

[Brad's Gramma]

Mr. Thompson is famous and Jim merely wanted to point it out.

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Looks like the MSM fax machine has been busy.

The end game is to shut down all criticism of Obama.

The left doesn’t believe in the 1st or 2nd amendment.

At least, not for others.

The same media that defended Letterman is now attacking FR for a few comments posted by who knows who.

For all we know, the posts were made by the KOS Kids.

Of course, the MSM is more than happy to label all Freeper’s as racists.

The left loves the race card.

[randomhero97]

Why is that way over the line? They want to get personal, then we get personal right back.

[icwhatudo]

Funny how we have gone from “the website of Alan Keyes diehards” to the “replacement for the KKK”.

I would have thought those 2 things would conflict somehow...LOL

[cranked]

Umm, no...

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Meanwhile, the left is writing attack articles about Palin.

This by a Black writer before the election:

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08281/918018-153.stm

Of course, this type of attack is fine because it’s against a white female republican.

[Luke21]

I forgot about what a bunch of Keyes whackos they used to call us. The hunt is on. It ain’t about logic. “Freeze the target...etc...”

[trisham]

Not exactly.

The fact is that Obama shares very little with the average American black person. Obama is more Arab than he is black and more white than Arab. Most posters here know that.

In the real world, people both black and white make off the cuff comments. It doesn't make them racist. He knows that but he'd rather help disseminate the erroneous meme that whites fear the black man, miss the good old days of the Klan and congregate on the net. He now needs to visit daily Kos and the Huffington Post and comment on the remarks made about Sarah Palin, Condi Rice and Clarence Thomas.

“The reality is that Bull Conner, the Grand Wizards and members of the KKK and the Aryan Nation have been replaced by the writers, editors and owners of The Free Republic.....”

Mr Metzler, The only “Grand Wizard” I know is a Democrat Senator.

[An.American.Expatriate]

The Free Republic is the modern day racist engine that a majority of Conservatives rely on to indoctrinate an old and new generation of race peddlers and demagogues.

Alright, who spilled the beans?

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Speaking of Byrd, the MSM also scrambled to cover for Byrd when he dropped an “N” bomb on national TV

Different rules for Dems.

[An.American.Expatriate]

... to indoctrinate an old and new generation of race peddlers and demagogues.

BTW Jim - did Regie and Al reconfirm for the Advanced Demagogery course next Tuesday?

[right way right]

I suggest a new Forum.

"The Jim Thompson Forum"

[An.American.Expatriate]

No Different rules for Dems.

Fixed it.

[cranked]

Exactly....because she is “white”.

If Palin had been a black woman and such was happening to her, be assured Dr. Christopher J. Metzler would not hesitate to either throw in the race card or write a like article as he is now concerning criticism of a black president and his family.

The issue here is not that “street ghetto trash” was necessarily used, but that it was used in reference to a black man and his family. This has been the case of a white man or woman being called “street ghetto trash,” Dr. Christopher J. Metzler would undoubtedly have no issue or like critical response.

[SpaceBar]

Predictable bilge from a brain addled socialist who infiltrated the university faculty system. Yuri Bezmenov was spot on.

[Aria]

You should see what they’re calling Sarah at the Washington Post tonight.

[fatnotlazy]

reedom of speech does not just cover what’s pretty or politically correct; even the most odious comments are protected. Traditionally, about the only speech that might be “censored” would be words that cause a catastrophe. The famous case was the one where a man yelled “Fire!” in a crowded movie theater, causing a stampede, which resulted in injury and death. But just about everything else is supposed to be protected.

These days, it seems that even saying we disagree with this administration’s policies brands us as racist, and there are those who would silence us. We have to be vigilant constantly to be sure that all of our rights and freedoms are protected; otherwise, we will lose them all.

[1035rep]

I was watching when Byrd said that. Can you just imagine if a Republican had done it.

[Rocco DiPippo]

"What kind of man [effete drone] is produced in our universities today?"

[DoughtyOne]

This concerted effort to trash Free Republic reveals how deeply effective the left thinks this site is.  We should be honored.

People can look around here.  They won't find what folks are claiming the forum is all about.

All this will turn out to be free publicity, and we'll get a lot of new people signing up.  Thanks lefties.


                          The following is directed to Freepers who haven't donated or signed up for monthlies yet...

22% is good.  100% is better.  You know you're going to do it.  Pull the trigger!  You don't have to pay it all now.  $5 now, $25 next week, $10 later... keep the ball rolling.

Monthly donorship is a good way for us to avoid having to do the Freepathons.  Besides, it's a great way to pony up in style.
If you're on the verge of becoming a monthly donor or you think you would like to up your monthly donation a bit, has Jim got a deal for you. 
Check this out.  There's an added incentive for a limited time only.  (Always wanted to type that...)

Thanks to Freepers who have been frequenting the Freepathon thread to ham it up with folks over there.  It helps to raise the visibility of the Freepathon.

Jump into the Monthly Donorship special thread too.

The Spirit Of Allegiance says, "For those about to donate, I salute you!"  So do I.

[abigkahuna]

The comments there must have been written by someone here, read the Al Pastor comment!

“Speaking of the KKK, former Klan Grand Wizard Robert Byrd has been promoted to several high ranking positions in Congress by the Democrats. How do you feel about that, Mr. Metzler?”

LOL from an Aussie.

[SpaceBar]

A little googling about this Metzler clown shows that he's been obsessed with his own race (black) his entire professional life.

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs."

- Booker T. Washington

Metzler, if you're reading this, that quote is about you.

[Dallas59]

I could care less about the color of his skin.

He's a S-O-C-I-A-L-I-S-T and that is that. Case closed.

*so's his slimy wife...*

[machogirl]

You mean this whole time I have been on FR, I have been posting to Jim Rob and I should have been posting to Jim Thompson?

[machogirl]

And this guy is a professor? No wonder education is a mess.

[cabojoe]

If I’ve leaned one thing on the internet it’s that the first person to call someone a racist usually is the racist. This dude is so typical.

[Luke21]

He wouldn’t care at all if the target was Condi Rice or Janet Rogers Brown, or their children or relatives.

[Jim Robinson]

Hey, professor. I don’t call Obama a Marxist because he’s a black man, you useful idiot. And I don’t fear black men. I called him a Marxist because he is a Marxist.

His father was a communist. His mother was a Marxist. His “home” village in Kenya is communist. All of his close friends in college were Marxists. He studied Marxism.

He loves Marxism. He says our constitution is flawed and he wants to use government to enforce economic justice. He hates capitalism. He wants to redistribute the wealth. He’s a freaking Marxist pig!

And he’s in the process of destroying America and freedom for all of us including you and all black people as well as all white, brown, yellow red or rainbow colored people!

Freedom is for all of us and it’s color blind! The rule of law is for all of us and it’s color blind! Justice is color blind! America was founded on the concept that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, including Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness! Look it up!!

Our God-given unalienable rights are color blind and they’re for ALL of us!!

And we fought a civil war to prove it and many wars since to defend it!!

America! Freedom! Love it, relish it, cherish it, defend it!! Don’t and it will surely die.

Advise you study up and find out where socialism, Marxism, communism, etc, leads. It always leads to tyranny, misery, failure, totalitarianism and death to millions! Useful idiots first!

The educated, the teachers, the clergy, the government officials, anyone who might stand in their way are the first to go.

Lennon, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, et al, ruthless, iron-fisted totalitarian rulers and brutal murderers and butchers of millions. And it always ends the same way.

FR is here to defend Liberty and Equality for ALL!!

My name is Jim Robinson and I not only own this more or less socialist-free oasis on the Internet, I approve of this message. And you’re a fricken racist, Marxist loving pinhead.

[Admin Moderator]

You are completely aware that Jim Robinson did not write what you have posted above your comment yet you have positioned it in a way to make it appear that you were quoting Jim Robinson.

Get out of here! You have wasted enough of everyone’s time.

[FTJM]

I didn’t realize that I did that. Please delete it.

[tophat9000]

The fool should goggle obama Aryan Nation esquire

[smokingfrog]

I think he has a degree in cut and paste.

[jellybean]

I think you might be little quick on the draw there pardner. It appears to me FTJM italicized the portion of the article he wished to comment on and then made his comment. That’s been standard practice at FR since I arrived in 1998. Perhaps I’m missing something.

[incredulous joe]

“Speaking of Byrd, the MSM also scrambled to cover for Byrd when he dropped an “N” bomb on national TV”

That will probably see the light of day again, now that Senator Byrd has publicly come out against Cap and Trade.

[Jack Hammer]

There are more ignorant yet smug, self-satisfied as?holes in academia than even the government - and that’s saying something.

[ChiMark]

How many times can you call (racist) “wolf”?

The leftist lunatics again demonstate their lack
of intelligent reasonable discussion. We should accept this as a compliment.

The Saul Alinsky tactic is’nt working. The incompetence of Zer0 is overwhelming.

[JoeDetweiler]

All night long I’ve been hearing ‘so-called “Bush Twins” this’ and ‘so-called “Bush Twins” that.’ Who do they think they’re kidding? Everything these people say is a lie. So-called “Bush Twins?”
They don’t even look like sisters.

One is W’s child, the other is James Bath’s child

[GeronL]

Typical liberal smear campaign.

[Admin Moderator]

"Perhaps I’m missing something."

Yes, in fact you are. And no, all the sympathizers FTJM can muster will not get his previous ugly posts restored.

Thanks.

[jellybean]

Ok, thanks. I’ve not seen FTJM’s posts before, so I’m not aware of any ugly posts he/she has made.

[Jim Robinson]

Hey Dr. Christopher J. Metzler!

I’d like you to produce even a scintilla of evidence where I, Jim Robinson, the owner of Free Republic says anything close to resembling your libelous claim that “The Free Republic provide a gathering place for Whites who are convinced that the election of a Black President means the end of White power and the introduction of Negro rule.”

Post the link or retract your libel, fool! If you can’t then let the world know you’re a lying sob who pulled this b/s right out of your ass!
