Congressional Black Caucus Discovers Entire English Language is a Racist Code Word
Front Page Magazine ^ | November 23, 2012 | Daniel Greenfield

Responding to Republican criticism of UN Ambassador Susan Rice for claiming that the Benghazi attack on the US mission and annex there had been caused by a photo of a stuffed teddy bear named Mohammed, Congresswoman Marcia Fudge, the leader of the Congressional Black Caucus and Chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on 40 Acres, an Obamaphone and a Mule denounced any attacks on Rice as “horridly and unspeakably racist.”

While Fudge could not point to any single word that was racist, she insisted that every single word used to criticize Rice was a racist code word. “If the language is being used to criticize a black person then we must deem such language to be irreparably and irrevocably racist,” Fudge said. …

Congressman Jim Clyburn went even further. “The entire English language was created by slaveowners as a means of oppression. You can’t just say that one word is a racist code word or another. The whole language, every single word, letter and apostrophe in it is racist. It’s a fact. If you speak English, you’re a racist.”

You will know it is over when most business phone recordings are in Spanish and tell you to press #2 for English.

Probably true...

Some examples

GOOD MORNING...yea, easy for you to say -you are white and I am not so it is a good morning to you.
Well, off to work (at store where buy coffee)’ yea, easy for you to say -you are white and I am not so you have a great job and I am stuck here ringing up coffee.

So after getting berated by all below you in stature as ALL have picked up on this victim thing, Just refuse to speak to anyone.

Then you are RACIST because you don’t speak to anyone.

SAME PRINCIPLE was used when dealing with SEXUAL HARASSMENT - No matter what you said was/could be construed as sexual in nature if one was so bent.

So , WE just stopped idly talking or chatting to people in general and were deemed a SNOB.

Life repeats itself...if it worked once, it surely will work again.

Why waste time printing nonsense like this. No language is racist. Language is just a way of communicating, nothing more. There is plenty of things to be concerned about in this life, but this is not one of them.

Guessing the author is making a point about the Left’s hijacking of normalcy especially in the ubiquitous realm of speech.

My patience is wearing thin and I would assume most of “white” America is as well. The plantation committee’s in charge of overseeing thier own kind needs the fuel to keep the fires of racism burning so they can keep thier positions of wealth and power over the poverty of their brothers and sisters. Seems like the brothers and sisters need a wake up call until they get a free phone or a free anything and they sit back down

If you make assertions like that, you're an idiot.

Nothing new here - since “PC” became the vogue, there has been an inexorable push to make anyone with conservative principles into racist, sexist, misanthropes. They are just becoming more open because far too many have gone with the flow instead of resisting the baby steps - now they intend to take giant strides. Sadly, they will get away with it.
