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.

Oh sh*t, it never ends. This charge of ‘racism’ has become such a joke. It’s like the Muslims blaming the Jews or the Liberals blaming Bush. Does anyone care anymore? I used to think it was really offensive to hear someone be accused of racism, now I just roll my eyes and think, ‘whatever.’

What do you think the appropriate response from blacks would be if they were slapped in the face

I hope it would wake me the hell up from this nightmare. All the images I've seen of Obama are of the model family yet he's destroying or attempting to destroy everything America was built.

The “stimulus package” is a noose around the neck of those who oppose it.

"There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do do not want to lose their jobs."

This is the first racial Presidency. He is filled with pent up hate for whitey.

opposition to the federal stimulus package by southern GOP governors is "a slap in the face of African-Americans."

So he must think the "stimulus" is primarily for African-Americans?

Race-baiter. these people make me ill.

Just one more little tactic in the Msrxist plan. Holder today, too.

It's the movement for a controlled society that wants to end authentic America.

Just a thug.

[spodefly]

Sounds like he is saying this is a bail out blacks bill ... why else would the state Governors refusing the money impact on race at all?

[DoughtyOne]

No. Any other questions?

Typical liberal slaver. Keep the black and minorities on the welfare farm forever. Don’t ever let them learn or do anything for themselves. Mind-numbed masses at your service.

Democrats will never let racism go away. If it did, they would be out of business.

[Maelstorm]

They should not accept any of the money. Set an example. As for it as being a slap in the face to black people, does that mean when you don’t accept stolen property you must not be up with the hommies?

Perhaps someone should remind the Democrat that most voters expect votes to be based on the validity of the bill not the color of the submitter. Such obvious racism is not a good indication of the Representatives legitimacy in office.
