Why John Derbyshire Hasn't Been Fired (Yet) “FR mentioned”
The Atlantic Wire ^ | Apr 6, 2012 | Elspeth Reeve

Derbyshire doesn't do the really obvious racist stuff -- the stuff that goes up at FreeRepublic.com, for example -- like post photos Obama in stereotypical tribal garb with a bone through his nose.

Why? The left has lied about FR before. We ignore their tempest in a teapot. You should see the lies on wikipedia about FR. Made from whole cloth.

Most tribal garb would be mixed. The indians that Washington encountered at the Forks of the Ohio after he was sent to warn the French they were invading an English claim, were dressed very much like the backwoodsmen who were with him. The indians were already deep into trade, and not being stupid, they learned early on to prefer wollens to buckskin. The English likewise used indian gear that was as useful.

Nothing out of the ordinary after I saw the shot......not any worse than his one where he himself dressed in muslim garb...... And lets not forget Michelle always trying to wear her african garb...she really is in dire need of someone to guide her in proper dress for a first lady.

Atlantic Wire is just jealous. At the end of February, they got a little over 600K unique visitors.

National Review Online got 850K.

Freerepublic.com got 930K.

Might not be a bad thing they let him go...always greater opportunities when truth is spoken.

I'm not surprised. The author AND her husband are fabricators.

But they did fire Derbyshire. See Post 55.

I thought the comparison of Obamacare to a witchdoctor is politically astute, and not necessarily racist.

But I also know that when it comes to women and minorities, all Republicans are held to a different code of conduct. I reluctantly acknowledge political reality. Pretending otherwise is what gets us in trouble.

The left made some nasty comments and NR caved. Spine and cahones are sadly missing.

Why can't we push Congress to do likewise with Obama?

Isn't that the truth!

But I think this is also about feeding the race war Obaba wants......anything seemingly that can be tied to race is up for grabs. MAke it all you want in their minds.

I am feeling like running away from my own country!....I've never been so miserable in my life with all these rules and regulations about speech etc. ....it's well beyond insanity now!

And unfortunate for us. I laugh at it too. But I’m also angry.

Bravo! That’s the sort of news behind the news you rarely see anywhere but FR. Good job recalling that and confirming.

It’s a communist tool used to divide in order to weaken a nation. It works.

Well...you're obviously a racist.;-)

Derbyshire lists several key "fact"s that he thinks his kid should know. Among them:

I'd say that 10b is life-saving advice based upon the past 50 or so years. I recall events in Cincinnati -- where I was in the 1960s -- of whites taking their usual routes home some of which went through the Avondale section.

Whites were dragged from their cars, beaten, and a few murdered. Some who were not killed were left with permanent scars.

So I hope this employee of the magazine is true to his convictions and fears not to drive through his city's black neighborhoods at all times this summer as Obama and his sons crank things up -- cause Obama been laudin' that martial law and suspended elections and that's what he's plannin' to do. I bet.

The left doesn’t need facts or reality.

The one and only thing I ever saw even remotely racist here on FreeRepublic was back in July 2009 when the Obama girls were in France. As it turned out, it was liberal outside agitators who were posting the over-the-top comments and pictures. That thread was then pulled by the moderators. I've been reading FR regularly since shortly after 9/11 and started posting in February 2010. In that eleven years of observation, there's not been a taint of racism here aside from that one disruption from outsiders.

By definition, Conservatives can't be racist since individual liberty is at the core of our philosophy. And even as I post this, I see this reminder from the boss:

Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.

That's the reality of FR: the premiere pro-God, pro-life, pro-gun and pro-liberty site on the entire web.
