Breitbart ^ | 08/24/2015 | Kipp Jones

Posted on 08/24/2015 11:27:49 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Appearing on CBS’s Face the Nation Sunday, documentary filmmaker Ken Burns told host John Dickerson he believes America is still a racist nation, and those who have questioned the legitimacy of President Obama’s birth certificate, namely, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, have done so as an alternative to using the N-word.

People who throw around false accusations of racism like confetti are the new bigots.

Well said.

Ken Burns makes schlock, revisionist documentaries.....and needs to get a proper haircut. So there.

“We pretend with the election of Barack Obama, that we’re in some kind of post-racial society...”


What do you mean “we” kemosabe!

Unlike your guilty white ass, I didn’t have to “prove” I wasn’t “racist” by voting in an incompetent dullard!

We had better race relations before O-Bozo was elected.

Take your race card and stick it where the sun don’t shine.

Using liberal thinking ....I could easily say that mr. creepy bangs married his white wife because he hates minority women.

Bingo!

Hey, Kenny! Birth Certificate, Birth Certificate, Birth Certificate! How's that for racial hatred? Oh, wait, this honkey has a BC and our kids have BCs. No, sorry, your wackadoodle liberal statement makes no sense.

Hey, Ken Burns, why didn’t Obama just produce a BC back in 2007 or 2008 the first time questions were asked? That’s what John McCain did. Why didn’t Obama?

That’s the first logical question to answer, except I don’t think any news sluts ever ask Obama that simple question.

“...legitimacy of President Obama’s birth certificate, namely, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, have done so as an alternative to using the N-word...”

Burns, could Obama’s behavior in office lend credence to the skepticism concerning his birth certificate? If he had deliberately set out to weaken the United States, what on earth would he have done differently? Do a documentary on that.

Flaming liberals aren’t happy unless they are spewing some kind of accusation or another with racism being their favorite one.

If they only knew how bored the world is with their taunting nonsense...

Interviewers always talk with Ken about race, but nobody ever asks him why he lives in a state that’s 93% or 94% white (and was something like 98% white when he moved there).

“Baseball” wasn’t about Baseball.

It was about race, racism and racial oppression in the US, using Baseball as a means of condemning US history, culture and society.

And it’s not like Burns was subtle about it.

Besides, the US never had a *civil* war.. Pure propaganda to be aligned with the “Pilgrims” nonsense.

America did *NOT* start with the landing of the Mayflower.

I’m not a fan of birtherism, but Ken Burns is a damned liar.

Life must be chaotic for people like Burns - can’t keep two ideas straight in his mind at once - contaminates questioning where Obama was born with holding racist views and using racist terms - probably mixes up brushing his teeth with taking a whiz because both can occur in the morning.....

I enjoyed the Civil War series Burns did... it will stand the test of time.

But Ken Burns? Dreadful. He’s aged badly... turned into a intolerant hateful liberal elite... as bad or worse than the straw men he rails against. Very sad.
