Yahoo! News ^ | February 19, 2009 | Page Ivey (AP)

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.

So the NY Post caved. Funny, I don’t recall them demanding that left group stop referring to George W. Bush as “Chimpy.”

Their response just apologized to people who were mistakenly offended, but said that they owed no apology to people who have been looking for offense and attacking the Post for years (Sharpton).

I bet this is going to boost the Post’s circulation. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sharpton’s thugs attacking people who are reading it in the subway, though.

"It is going to be Blacks of a certain mindset getting Whitey back now. The poverty pimps to be exact."

You have accurately described the essence of Eric Holders speech. It's get even for anything and everything, real or imagined time.

.
Here in Texas even our Gov. Goodhair realizes that ‘free’ money comes with strings attached, and what is on the other end of those strings is most definitely not good.

“Why is it that only whites can be racists?”

Because we are operating under a double standard, kept alive by the PC nazis.

When the next revolution comes, PC must be eliminated.

How about this “slap in the face” to the real Americans who are footing the bill for all of this:

The great Chuckie Schumer calls us “the chattering *class*”:

We MUST rise up against these nitwits in Washington. The “real” American people don’t care, according to Schumer.

"Why is it that only whites can be racists?"

That, my FRiend, is a dang good question.

It is said that they cannot be racist because they do not have the power. Yet, by uttering one word they can cut off all discussion, thereby stifling free speech. I'd say that is pretty powerful and shows the importance of the first amendment. Maybe Holder was right, we are cowards, because we have been bullied into silence by the utterance of one misapplied word.

Damned race pimps make me sick. It’s time to stand up to them and make them shut the hell up. I’m so damned sick and tired of the whining and complaining and demanding that I can’t stand it. I’m sick of the professional takers in this society...people who never contribute, never produce any value but who are constantly complaining about and accusing those who do. And stealing from them to boot. Enough!

Two things. One - If "Africa" is supposed to be the "cradle of civilization" then ALL Americans are "AFRICAN AMERICAN" and two - I am so sick of this hand full or racist blacks crying because the rest of our country's population is tired of supporting them.

It's time they get off their lazy a**** and stop using their skin color as an excuse to fail.

JMHO

By the way. BRAVO to all those governors that are making a stand against the antichrist and his democrat minions.

In this "age" it can't be. However, people can be made fearful of perpetrating it. When spreading PC just isn't worth the "trouble", they'll stop. We're just not there yet. :-)

I see it as an admission that this is a stealth “reparations” bill,

regardless of the trillions that have already been pumped down the ol’ white guilt mineshaft.

No, we’re not there yet. We’re not even close.

But certain aspects of our society must be identified as counter-productive, so the same mistakes aren’t made when society is reformed.

And the PC police/double standard bearers are part of the enemy that must be defeated.

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.

Worth repeating.

And how about that fine, fine honest citizen, Eric Holder, telling us Americans are cowards when it comes to dealing with racism?

SAY WHAT???? GO TO HELL DIDN'T WE JUST ELECT A BLACK MAN AS OUR PRESIDENT? HOW IS THIS COWARDLY?

The plan is laid out folks. This administration plans to counter any opposition as racism, read the handwriting on the wall.

It will only stop when Americans take a stand.
