A screen shot of the My.Barackobama.com posting with the N word appears at the linked article. The article also proves beyond any doubt that the Obama campaign, contrary to the disclaimer on each page, exercises editorial control over the content.

This won't cost Obama any votes if it stays at Free Republic. Please take it to your Web site, blog, and local newspaper.

Never heard “Miss Ann” before. Getting to the point that it’s just safer not to speak.

Even if they didn’t control it but tolerated it, can you imagine if a Republican were in any way linked with such material? The press would crucify him!

That's pretty much why Republicans in general and unintentionally are held to a higher standard.

Thereby making Obama’s black supporters just your common “field nixxer”?

After all — only the best were permitted into the big house or Massa’s bed.

I like the photo, but what I would really like to see is a photo of Obama and all his friends such as his pastor, and all his terrorist friends.

I’ve never heard “Miss Ann”, either. Anybody know what that means?

"...Never heard “Miss Ann” before. Getting to the point that it’s just safer not to speak..."

30 years ago in Germany, I used to hear black soldiers in the barracks call a particular white female soldier "Miss Ann". More than one of them did it (and her as well). Her name was not Ann, BTW, so I guess in retrospect, it did seem strange.

I hadn't thought of it since. Maybe it had some symbolism to them. Probably an insincere term of "respect" masking their derision of her for being too cheap and easy. Maybe part of some arcane "it's a black thing, you wouldn't understand" urban legend.

“Miss Ann”?

[Hegemony Cricket]

Nevermind - I see it now. Never ever heard that before...

[dblshot]

Well it goes both ways.

Barak’s ego couldn’t possibly get bigger
It’s so big it tripped Jesse’s trigger.
He must hate his guts
To call for his nuts,
And basically call Barak the House _____

From Wikipedia...

Ann - A white woman to a black person — or a black woman who acts too much like a white one. While Miss Ann, also just plain Ann, is a derisive reference to the white woman, by extension it is applied to any black woman who puts on airs and tries to act like Miss Ann.[2]

From this link: http://www.jimcrowhistory.org/resources/lessonplans/hs_es_etiquette.htm

"...White women allowed black servants and acquaintances to call them by their first names but with the word "Miss" attached as a modifier: "Miss Ann," "Miss Julie" or "Miss Scarlett," for example..."

That's the closest I could get. An old time Jim Crow term, turned on its head to mask their contempt.

Where I live in South Carolina, it's very common for everyone. All of our kids here call their friends' mothers some rotating combination of Ma'am, Mrs. (Jones, Smith, etc.), or Miss (Linda, Cindy, etc.), depending on the social situation, their level of familiarity, and parental attitudes. Most people here see it as a sign of endearment and respect for a parental friend.

However, in the context of the Obamanation, I'm sure it was intended to be derisive.

>>Barack Obama’s Black supporters are “field hands” who want freedom, while Hillary Clinton’s Black supporters are “house n*****s” who are comfortable as slaves in the house of the master (Bill) and mistress (Hillary), also known as “Miss Ann”<<

Citing the official US Census of 1830, there were 3,775 free blacks who owned 12,740 black slaves. Furthermore, the story outlines the history of slavery here, and the first slave owner, the Father of American slavery, was Mr Anthony Johnson, of Northampton, Virginia. His slave was John Casor, the first slave for life. Both were black Africans. The story is very readable, and outlines cases of free black women owning their husbands, free black parents selling their children into slavery to white owners, and absentee free black slave owners, who leased their slaves to plantation owners. -”Selling Poor Steven”, American Heritage Magazine, Feb/Mar 1993 (Vol. 441) p 90

There was a song done by Little Richard titled “Miss Ann”, but I don’t recall the lyrics referring to a white woman.

I did find out that “Keep a Knockin’ “, was a remake of “Bawdy House Blues”.

[Tex Pete]

Yep.

In the Deep South, it is very common for ladies to be called Miss Polly, Miss Suzanne, Miss Mary, etc., as a true sign of respect from kids. I guess blacks used to do the same thing with white ladies, and Miss Ann is just a mockery of that.
