Some things never change.
This is ironic, considering this morning on Imus, Cong. Harold Ford, Jr. (black) was recommending that Bush ask Colin Powell to come back to handle the North Korean problem...
I guess Ford just wants Powell to continue to be a "Rent a negro"....sheesh
I just love freedom of speech ... without it we might not know that The Rev Curtis E. Gatewood is considers race-baiting and complete irrationality to be withing the bounds of polite discourse. He doesn't really tell us much about the present President ... he does reveal much about his own thought process, none of it good.
Nah. "Rented Negro" meet "Plantation Negro"
I thought everyone in politics was rented.
If we had invaded North Korea in 2003, the left would be screaming and complaining that we were wrong to go there and should have addressed the threat that Saddam poses.
Bill Clinton made the case for war against Saddam back in 1998. He stated in a lengthy Atlantic interview that he knew he was not resolving anything there and that the next administration would have to deal with Saddam. So the problem of Saddam has been resolved now.
People can debate about the net gain, but they can be certain that the dictatorship has been toppled and that state sponsor of global terrorism is out of commission.
Close, but no cigar - the racist Democrat Party OWNS these dusky chattels, and don't you forget it!
I think the Right Reverend needs to rent a brain.
You're an idiot.
These people are evil. I've never seen so many Democrats who are either evil or mentally ill in my whole life.
Straight from Workers World.org:
Durham, N.C., NAACP says:
'Abstain from acts of retaliation'
Minister Curtis E. Gatewood, leader of the Durham, N.C., NAACP, was chastised by the NAACP national leadership for issuing a statement on Sept. 15, excerpted below, that opposed “retaliatory action.” The Durham chapter voted Sept. 23 to support Gatewood.
Let the record show that for the following reasons, the Durham Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is calling upon its Durham members, constituents, supporters and other local citizens who pursue global and local justice that we not partake in any retaliatory action that may be instigated by the United States government, as officials may plan to wrongfully counter-attack, while murdering thousands and perhaps millions of innocent people in response to the suicide attacks which took place on Sept. 11, 2001. Further, for the same reasons, we ask that you not be persuaded to prejudicially commit retaliatory “terror” toward any local Arabs, Muslims, and others assumed to be in favor of the Sept. 11 attacks:
• While we support the families; and pray for this country and the many victims of the attacks that took place on Sept. 11, 2001, our National and Local NAACP is a non-violent organization which has been inspired by a spiritual and cultural base that has taught us to be more obedient to God and justice, than a nation’s arrogant calls for blind patriotism, retaliation and hatred.
• The National and Local NAACP has continuously opposed international and domestic practices of racism that have been carried out by the U.S. government through domestic and international policies/practice. Had America been the true symbol of “freedom and democracy” as claimed by U.S. President George W. Bush, chances are he would not be the president during this tragic time. He was selected president by a right-wing “Supreme Court” who clearly violated the principles of democracy!
• While we realize the perpetrators did not seem to care about the race of those on the planes on that particular day, nor the race of those working inside the buildings being destroyed, the perpetrators did however make it clear through attacking the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and reported plans to attack the White House, their attacks were on the American government. I remind you that while the NAACP would in no way support the violent acts of the perpetrators, the Durham NAACP does not support the calls for violent retaliation. Further, the NAACP and other masses of African Americans were denied the opportunity to be heard during the time the current U.S. president, U.S. attorney general and other key officers within the current administration were selected. Consequently, while again, we clearly disagree with any such acts of war, we also disagree with the U.S. president’s claim that “this was an attack on freedom.”
• Black males can no longer afford to be used as sacrificial lambs at the time of war! While President Bush was making his initial speeches on how he plans to “hunt down and punish” these “evil” people who attacked “freedom,” he was simultaneously being protected by secret service and military experts. Black males are likely to be the ones put on the ground on the front lines to be murdered, while Mr. Bush continues making such speeches. And those Black males who through the grace of God may make it back home alive from war, are likely to come home and be discriminated against by the people whose businesses were headquartered in the World Trade Center, racially abused/profiled by an American police officer, killed on the streets in their crime-infested neighborhoods, or at a minimal, his life may negatively be affected by policies being established by President Bush and Attorney General Ashcroft. Gatewood says, “We see a direct contradiction with America’s repetitious call for Black men to be placed on the front lines to die for this country at wartime, and then put in the back of the line when it becomes time to share this country’s economic prosperity and other acts of justice!”
• We believe many of the American government’s past and current domestic and foreign policies/practices have contributed to the oppression of Africans, Middle Easterners and other people of color around the world. Consequently, the attacks, despite how we may disagree with them, may have come as a desperate cry out from certain foreign oppressed voices that see the American government and current administration as a “threat to justice everywhere,” and may not have otherwise been heard. While the perpetrators’ acts were indeed “evil,” they are dead. We must concern ourselves with those who may commit evil acts in the future, but not follow the perpetrators’ example of killing innocent people.
Gosh! He's a negro! Who'da thunk it from the comments of his that the paper printed?
it's call a 'shake down'!
This is a disgusting commentary... unfortunately, I'd say 90% of black population believes this crap to be true.
"How to Rent a Negro"
The Rev. Curtis E. Gatewood should inquire into: "How to Rent a Brain".
Wow, the good reverend warping hearts and minds each day....
You are right, it is a sad commentary - and needs a garbage alert.
You is right, because the negro can only think one way...its what the preacher man tells him ta think!!
All those Dem proclaimers hide behind lost sons in Iraq, lost husbands at 9/11, purple star or Marine veterans.
Here comes one that uses the Rev. shield and his inherited skin color.
Expect the expected.
There was some of the same nonsense in my local paper recently, published as a "meeting report" contributed by the local NAACP chapter.
The paper buried it, LOL.
It's just unreal, isn't it?
