Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee: Gingrich Is Using Racial ‘Code Words’
The Blaze ^ | 1/21/12 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 01/21/2012 11:12:58 AM PST by Baynative

Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee on Friday accused Newt Gingrich of using racial “code words” in calling President Barack Obama the “food stamp president” and saying schools ought to hire children to do janitorial work.

The Texas congresswoman’s comments came in response to a question about remarks she made on the House floor Wednesday, when she said there are “candidates like Newt Gingrich who want to throw fuel and matches and fire to develop sort of an explosiveness in this country” and there are “underlying suggestions” to calling Obama the “food stamp president.”

“These are code words. It’s inappropriate,” Jackson Lee told MSNBC’s Martin Bashir Friday. “Let me say that the code words, as far as I’m concerned words that generate and signify race.”

“The phrase `code word’ is becoming a code word. It means `I couldn’t find any racist language in what you said, but I desperately need people to think you are a racist.’”

Mike Cullen, `Whiny Little Bitch: Obama’s Excuse Filled Presidency”

Here are the original racist code words:

Captain John Smith, 1607:

“He who will not work shall not eat”

These people need to publish an official list of these “code words” so normal people who don’t spend their lives being offended will know what is going to set the lunatics off.

Who has time for this bull hockey?

Sheila Jackass Lee is afraid her stupid and greedy constituents will lose their EBT cards and have to go to work for a living instead of squirting out babies with no daddy in sight for cash or hanging around on street corners playing rap music and selling drugs to other losers.

How's them for racial "code words", Ms. Plantation Owner?

What a lot of horsefeathers.

“Code words” is another way of saying there’s no there, there.

So let’s make crap up.

That’s what “code words” means.

“Sheila Jackson Lee is inappropriate......”

How ionic that she call someone else a racist!

The fuel that she speaks of is fuel that has been stockpiled by decades of “liberal” double standards on race and the unanswered virulent black race hatred manifested in epidemic black on white violent crime.

Noted black author,James Baldwin, spoke frankly of this black race hatred of whites in 1955 is his seminal book, “Notes of a Native Son”

“There is, I should think, no Negro living in America who has not felt, briefly or for long periods, with anguish sharp or dull, in varying degrees and to varying effect, simple, naked and unanswerable hatred;who has not wanted to smash any white face he may encounter in a day, to violate, out of motives of the cruelest vengeance, their women, to break the bodies of all white people and bring them low, as low as the dust to which he himself has been and is being trampled”

http://blackracismandracehatred.blogspot.com/2011/11/black-race-hatred-of-whites-and-other.html

Unanswerable back in 1955 maybe.

But it has been answered many thousands of times since the mid 1960s with violent interracial crime that exploded ten fold or more since then.

With Eric Holder explicitly stating that white Americans are not protected by the hate crime laws, and with the Holder Youth engaging in brutal mob beat downs of whites nation wide, Newt should quit pulling his punches on race and tell it like it is.

The dam is about to break. And Newt could ride the wave to a landslide victory over Obama if he just has the courage to strike hard at this racist “liberal” hypocrisy and black race hatred that is the Greatest Story Never Told.

Sheila’s got that snake coil hair of hers wrapped too tightly around her head again.

Newt isn’t using “code words”, Sheila you imbecile; he’s speaking plainly about Zero and a subset of food stamp recipients who wouldn’t work if you put a gun to their head.

Deal with it, Sheila. Your race card has expired.

Shelia, I am beyond offended that anyone as stupidly racist as yourself is allowed anywhere near an elected office. It is my sincerest wish that Newt publicly calls you on both your ignorance and racism and humiliates you. I would say shames you, but you lack any.

Eventually, the people of your district will wake from their stupor and elect a person of any color possessing the things you lack. Honesty, intelligence, a sense of decency and humility, and lastly, a course in astronomy.

Finally, I hope that Newt follows Obama’s lead, governs by executive order and as his first act, makes the sound of your screeching voice a felony prosecutable by life in front of a computer linked to Rush 24/7.

Yours truly,
Normie

Um....someone should ask her how "food stamp president" is a racial code word.

Please explain that.

BTW - the brain-sucking alien on your head has died of starvation.

Here are the original racist code words:

Captain John Smith, 1607: “He who will not work shall not eat”


And their original citation back somewhere around 60AD:

The Apostle Paul:

For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

Let the liberal blacks call racism all they want. They will vote for BO no matter what. It doesn’t matter what they say anymore.

"Code Words for instilling a work ethic and staying in school"

With about 50% in the cities (black) that don't even graduate high school, and 75% who have un-named fathers, and for 4 generations have lived off Taxpayers, we're not allowed to say it because it's "insensitive" or "you don't understand the culture".

I understand the culture: welfare is the only way of life they've ever seen, and they are taught to milk the system to exist, without working (unless drug-dealing, theft, and pimping are considered "jobs"), because they have a "Right" to a plasma TV, Michael Jordan Air tennis shoes, baggy-ass pants worn at the mid-thigh, and straight-billed baseball caps worn sideways......that's a lifestyle that votes 95%+ Democrat EVERY TIME, and calls WHITES the "racists".

It gives one pause to acknowledge that there is an entire congressional district in Texas that admires and respects this woman.
