Weatherman Bob Goosmann denied there were any racial undertones to the incendiary Facebook comment that led him to resign as chief meteorologist at KRLD (1080 AM).

The Facebook message, posted Wednesday, said, "As many of you have probably noticed, I've stayed away from politics on FB. The DNC parading the mothers of slain thugs around on their stage has me furious."

In his online comment, Goosmann noted he resigned but would have been fired, "and rightly so."

He's a true dhimmi.

Thug is sort of a racist slur. It comes from the Thugee sect of Hinduism that used to praise Kali by robbing and killing people as sort of a ritual.

Wrong race. It applies to Hindus (not a race), not blacks nor Mooselimbs (again, not a race).

But everyone knows what a thug is in 2016, and it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with undesirable.

So now the word “thug” only appliles to black people?

How can the word “thug” convey only one race? You mean an Asian woman can’t be a “thug” if she engages in thuggish behavior?

Our world has gone mad. Race relations have never been so bad as it is now after 8 years of the first black president. If this is what we get for it, we should not elect anymore black presidents.

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act,” George Orwell

Orwell was a profit and we are living in Orwellian times. Things will only get worse.

I was thrilled and surprised when Donald Trump began his presidential acceptance speech by saying, “We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore. “

You are damn straight we cannot afford to be politically correct, and I hope against hope he can do something about it. Political Correctness has been the scourge of my lifetime because it sets the stage for all other control by the government and their lackeys. All they have to do is control your speech and everything follows from there.

Nor do I. I literally don’t recognize it culturally, politically, socially, spiritually or demographically. Anything goes today, the family is devalued, bastard children are the norm, there is no shame or stigma for anti-social behavior because there is no socially accepted behavior anymore. There is little honor, even less manners, and opportunism abounds while the golden rule has died a violent death.

Not only do I not recognize this country, I really have no country, as I have no representation anymore. I am living in a foreign land where aliens vote for criminal politicians who are above the law with complete disregard for the archaic antique Constitution which hasn’t been worth the paper it was written on since before Roe v. Wade.

I grieve for this nation, but no longer hold out hope. FWIW, I am completely in God’s hands. I have no faith in man to fix America anymore. None.

That's the only way to keep one's sanity today. Let go and let God.

So this is not the truth? We need to battle these gate keepers of PC. THE WHORES OF THUGS BEING PARADED AROUND is more like it. Did anyone question their responsibility as mothers? where is the father? a thug also? How many children do you have with different fathers? who is supporting these young thugs, do you have a job? what public assistance do you receive and how long has this been going on, what is the tax payers bill over the years for supporting your healthy a## in bringing up irresponsible young thugs? Im sick of this sh##

If he didn’t want trouble, he should have phrased it differently:

“As many of you have probably noticed, I’ve stayed away from politics on FB. The DNC parading the mothers of slain aspiring rappers who were about to start college and turning their lives around on their stage has me furious.”

The mothers are true representatives of the Black urban subculture that is being promoted as the American norm

< Telling the truth on facebook is hazardous, which is why I don’t do facebook, and instead only post under handles rather than my real name.

I find that posing as a Islamic black man on FB gives me latitude to say anything I want..../s

Thuggees (Thugs) Circa 1300 – mid/late 1800s India, Pakistan

The Thugs or Thuggees, were history’s most notorious and deadly criminal cult. The name Thug, Thuggee or Tuggee is derived from the Sanskrit, sthag and Pali, thak. This means to hide or conceal, mainly a secret concealment.

Thugs were Hindu and Muslim Indians whose Thuggee cult was based on the worship of goddess, Kali. Kali is the destructive and creative mother goddess in the Hindu religion. Kali is the fierce aspect of Devi, the supreme goddess who is fundamental to all Hindu deities. The ongoing work of Creation is described by believers as the “play of Kali”.

The Hindus don’t own the word.

In America, thug means Michael Brown. When he roughed up the store clerk in the convenience store to get some Swisher sweets, it was no “ritual.”

When Brown went after Officer Wilson’s gun and was shot and killed in the process, it was no “ritual.”

Give me a *major* break!
