Responding to Republican criticism of UN Ambassador Susan Rice for claiming that the Benghazi attack on the US mission and annex there had been caused by a photo of a stuffed teddy bear named Mohammed, Congresswoman Marcia Fudge, the leader of the Congressional Black Caucus and Chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on 40 Acres, an Obamaphone and a Mule denounced any attacks on Rice as “horridly and unspeakably racist.”
While Fudge could not point to any single word that was racist, she insisted that every single word used to criticize Rice was a racist code word. “If the language is being used to criticize a black person then we must deem such language to be irreparably and irrevocably racist,” Fudge said. …
Congressman Jim Clyburn went even further. “The entire English language was created by slaveowners as a means of oppression. You can’t just say that one word is a racist code word or another. The whole language, every single word, letter and apostrophe in it is racist. It’s a fact. If you speak English, you’re a racist.” …

Blacks are still selling themselves as slaves and they alone are the slaveholders.
Please tell me this is an article from The Onion. Nobody can be THAT stupid. Oh wait... I suppose Cynthia McKinney's successor Hank Johnson could have said this and they misprinted it as "Jim Clyborn of South Carolina"
Blacks are going over the edge trying to conjurer up more and more white guilt. Must be a better way for them to fund their organizations...
Blacks are going over the edge trying to conjurer up more white guilt. There must be a better way for them to fund their organizations... cause this is getting sick.
True, and this continued for decades later, look at the movie Amistad (the name of the slave ship in the movie "La Amistad", is ironically Spanish for friendship) about the real life case before the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1830s. Pretty clear what side the spanish-speaking Cubans were on and the English speaking Americans were on. What's more, England abolished slavery in the 1830s, while it continued for decades later in much of Latin America.
And if you really wanted to annoy this Congressman, the Spanish word for black people is "Negros". Now, isn't that considered racist when English speaking people use that word?
That falls apart when one considers that opinions of widespread white racism are coming from primarily African-American sources, most of whom have more than skin in the game, they profit and maintain their prestigious positions as 'leaders' by keeping their fellows in a victimhood state of mind.
Take away the constant excuses--I knew successful black businessmen when I was a child over 50 years ago--and the only thing stopping the black community from being successful is their own people constantly browbeating them about how someone is 'holding them down' and how they need to 'get back at/over on the man' instead of just going out and working hard to be a success.
Although in real life the words that come out of their mouths are likely to be outrageous, if you read the whole article I think you will conclude that it is satire.
nothing says 'anti-racists' like culling yerselves from the herd, according to...wait for it...RACE !!!
just fer sh!tz and giggles, i wish a rep would lobby for the wasp caucus...
You got that right.
WTF? Does Clyburn have a brain tumor or did he just stop taking his schizophrenia medicine?
