Activists Want DNC Member Who Spoke Of ‘Colored People’ To Step Down

Black activists aren’t satisfied with Florida Democratic National Committee (DNC) member John Parker’s explanation that he meant to say “people of color” but used the expression “colored people” instead. They want him to resign.

Parker told Politico that he was trying to say “people of color” but didn’t get it right. Parker’s own wife has joined the chorus of African-Americans and Democratic officials who say the DNC committeeman from Duval County, Florida, needs to step aside.

Parker made the remarks on Jan. 22 while speaking at a party meeting in Jacksonville and apologized after the initial uproar from those present at the Burrito Gallery restaurant, where he was holding forth.

“Why would you still think that ‘colored’ was cool? Because to me it’s a Jim Crow terminology and it’s unacceptable,” Diallo-Sekou Seabrooks told First Coast News.

Some in the black community say Parker’s choice of words represent a pattern.

At the now infamous Burrito meeting, his critics claim he also bemoaned the affects of racial integration while others accuse him of using the description “mayor’s mammy” and calling the Working People Caucus the “Poor Black People Working Caucus.”

When first challenged for his colored people remarks, Parker told Politico that it was all a misunderstanding.

“I misspoke and used the term colored people when I meant people of color,” Parker said. He also denied allegations that he had used pejorative terms for blacks in the past, insisting the comments “did not happen.”

What does the NAACP [NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE] have to say about this?

One of my fellow members of the Republican Central Committee for Prince George’s County (Maryland) refers to himself as “the last colored man.” Fred is 75 or so.

People of color rather than colored people?

OK, fine.

Should I also start referring to my jeans of blue?

Makes for strange bedfellows.

This could be a good sign.

The racial animosity of the Democratic Party is reaching a fevered pitch.

They no longer even have tolerance for one of their own.

A party in chaos can not organize an effective national campaign.

And you wonder how it is, that blacks are allowed to use the dreaded “N” word, but whites use of that word are driven out of public life, such as Paula Deen.

But some black “comedian”, called Obama “my nigger” at some White House function, duly recorded by the media present, and nothing is said by anyone about this use of that dreaded word.

Of course, it's still okay to have the meeting at the "Burrito Gallery restaurant ". I guess Hillary's Mahatma Gandhi convenience store back room was booked. Thanks MarvinStinson.

FINALLY.
On the Democrat plantation we have righteous blacks like Diallo-Sekou Seabrooks rising up against their white racist honky overseers.

Somebody failed to realize that the DNC is slowly but surely becoming an overtly anti-Caucasian party. They’ll never miss the opportunity to cancel a “cracker’s” career, even over an obvious verbal slip. But the dumbass will probably keep voting for them.
