The highest-ranking black congressman said Thursday that opposition to the federal stimulus package by southern GOP governors is "a slap in the face of African-Americans."

U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., said he was insulted when the governors of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and his home state, which have large black populations, said they might not accept some of the money from the $787 billion stimulus package.

More racial couragespeak from the RATS. Is there anything they don't view through a racial prism?

[txnativegop]

Race-baiter. these people make me ill.

[GOP Poet]

No the African Americans that support this yahoo BS need a big ole’ slap in the face to wake up.

I would have slapped the hell out of Hitler and Stalin too if I had been around at that time. Stuff it Clyburn!

So Representative James Clyburn thinks there's some racial orientation in the Pelosi bill?

We'd better read that thing again ~ find out where it reserves money for "blacks" (and that ACORN stuff doesn't count ~ the black guys are just windowdressing ~ look close and you see the white Commies making all the decisions).

So the Congressman is saying that the stimulus package is unfairly weighted to help Blacks?

This bozo is playing it:

It's time to speak out against it. Michael Steele needs to jump in loudly on this crap.

I think it is a slap in the face of African-Americans to presume that wealth redistribution is the only way certain people can survive.

Blacks for keeping racism alive, that’s what they are.

Without racism they might actually have no excuse for their behavior, might have to work, might not have a get out of jail free card for failure.

Always a victim, always an excuse, always a chip on their shoulder.

I usually post this into threads such as this one, and the admin mods usually pull it.

[Sequoyah101]

Wonderful and realistic reply. Kudos.

[txnativegop]

I’ve seen that before, and it is sooooo true.

[Jack Hammer]

It was really only a matter of time before any disagreement with any Black American, for any reason, on any occasion, came to be considered an act of racism. It’s just much simpler and easier to blame race for every hassle, every roadblock, every setback, every difficulty in life than it is to assess situations and issues on their merits.

And, Eric Holder says no one is discussing race in America. : )

Expect more of this. At least 4 years of this, possibly more, if the American sheeple don’t wake up. It is going to be Blacks of a certain mindset getting Whitey back now. The poverty pimps to be exact.

The slap was aimed at Reid & Pelosi. (I think Clyburn must be a synonym for clymer.)

[hiredhand]

It’s painful to read, but true!

[txnativegop]

Yep!
