Selective Outrage when It Comes to Racism

I don't need any lessons from you on anything except how to excuse racism. I don't need you redefining 'blacks' for me. Nor do I need you to dodge the reality that the term 'Uncle Tom' is racist on all levels. Now consider yourself corrected.

 

Uncle Tom - a black person who is eager to win the approval of white people and willing to cooperate with them.

What's the white version of an Uncle Tom? I call them self loathing libs.

Imagine the hoopla if a white congressman made issue of a white Justice who was "eager to win the approval of BLACK people (or other minority) and willing to cooperate with them".

The OP is absolutely correct, SELECTIVE OUTRAGE.

 

I won't take lessons from you when you don't seem to understand the terms that you are using. Ignorance is sometimes understandable. Ignorance combined with recalcitrant hubris is inexcusable.

 

Then stop doing it.

 

Good post, but they are claiming to be a better "black" person. I have heard the term being used to insult a very well spoken individual. Some use the term if they feel the other is not hood enough, marry a "white" person., work too hard in school or become to successful in the corporate world.

I can understand that well educated people may point out the by the book meaning of racist. It is however likely the second worse insult a "black" person can hear. It is the equalivent of being called a race traitor which I have been called so I understand the pain it can cause. So even if though it may not qualify as racist it is on equal ground IMO, and should be condemned just as strongly as the use of the N-word in a derogatory manner. I do not consider myself to be well educated and feel racism describes it better to me than a word I have to look up the definition.

I feel the same about people insulting interracial relationships, while by the book that may not be racist, chance are very good the person saying it is a racist.

 

Actually the real definition is - a black person who is eager to win the approval of white people and is willing to attack other black folks or sell out other black folks to be accepted.

Of course being called an "Uncle Tom" is not a compliment, it isn't meant to be one.

 

LOL that's funny a white conservative trying to tell a black man about Dr. King and what he meant.

Your right conservatives are the ones who are working hard to bring the races together. What a joke, btw neither party is mine; not the Jackass or the Elephant. They are both one and the same.

I am pretty sure you do understand, but their blackness or lack thereof is not the problem.

 

I probably have more to tell than you buddy. I was around when he had his marches. I heard everything he said at the time because the cameras were always on him when he spoke. Being black means nothing. Being informed means everything. Get informed. And if you think he was a liberal then you definitely never heard him speak. His values were nowhere near those of libs.

Politicians are not responsible for bringing people together. If you knew anything about MLK you would have known he felt the same way. But since you want to make it their job, start by addressing the dems historic habit of dividing people.

Really? Then what is wrong with, IYO, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, Larry Elder if not their conservatism?

 

That's great, but I was around when we couldn't go to the public pool. See I learned to swim in a pond and at the lake. I was around when the schools were integrated. See I was around when black folks went to the movie theater and had to sit in the balcony. See I came at the back end of those days. So hearing it is one thing, but living it is another.

Well then why do you whine about them so much?

The Dreamer didn't die, the Visionary was murdered.

I have read their columns, listened to them on the radio and TV. They will attack black folks, but they will hide when an injustice is done to someone black. Why is that?

 

Get over it. Life sucks sometimes. Move on and lose the 'hate whitey' chip. I worked with many black guys who grew up in the south having to use separate everything. None of them whined like you do. Frankly I think you're making it up anyway.
And back to MLK. He didn't whine either. He got busy trying to fix the problem.

LOL! You were the one who brought up pols.

Give me examples of what you claim about black conservatives. Prove what you say.

 

I have gotten over it, that is why we have been successfult.

LOL, but yet you are the one questioning me. Frankly I don't give a damn whether you believe me or not.

Yep and he got the same criticism and it even cost him his life from the same folks like you that think black folks should just turn the other cheek and accept whatever you think is fair.

Clarence Thomas spoke of his sister Emma Lou to a group of conservatives and called her a welfare cheat and when on to say how her children couldn't wait until the first of the month for that welfare check to come. He left out the little tidbit of the reason why she was on welfare, it was to care for a bedridden aunt and after the aunt passed away she went back to work. Now where was he during the family crisis?

By all means don't take my word for it.

When it was found out that Herman Cain had a woman on the side the first thing he wanted to do was blame Democrats and the President. What a joke it was the same white asses he has been kissing that set his dumbass up.

 

You don't sound like someone who is successful.

I never questioned you. Go back a few posts to your race baiting quip that a white conservative dare to tell a black man anything about MLK.

Atta racist! A racist white man shot MLK and you label all white people racists. You have real problems.

So what? Maybe Thomas sister was a welfare queen. How do you or anyone know otherwise? And please don't talk about where he was for his family. Your blessed POTUS has turned his back on his family in Kenya. By all means, don't take my word for it................................

Herman Cain did what many men have done. So what's your point? Do you want to trash the way people deal with their family issues? I thought you had something about their politics. Do you want to reveal the skeletons in your closet? Is it even relevant? No? Then their's isn't either. I could talk about the personal problems of Bill Clinton, Anthony Weiner, the Kennedy's, Obama's pot problem, Elliott Spitzer, or any pol from either side of the aisle.

 

Because I don't tow the conservative, step and fetch tow line.

Especially, when it were white conservatives that murdered the man.

Can you post where I claimed all white folks were racists.

LOL, so now its so what?

LOL, talk about a hypocrite.

You are the party of family values and high moral, at least that's the bull(*)(*)(*)(*) you preach.

Talk about a freakin hypocrite.

 

Spare yourself the BS. Sharpton, Obama, and Jackson are different men altogether than MLK so you are simply and utterly WRONG. Was King perfect? Nope not even close but you have to give him credit for having the foresight to understand the way to help the black community was not to treat them differently but by treating them the same. Are you going to sit there and tell me Sharpton who is a known racist and criminal is what MLK ideology was going for? Sharpton is the poster child for everything that is wrong in the world. Hes no different than the KKK.
And Strawman I never said King would "SIDE" with Hannity. In fact Im positive he wouldn't. He would side with him when it comes to racism. His point was to treat all men as equals. A simple concept that we still don't understand in the year 2014. Conservative or liberal is irrelevant when the issue is racism and treating men equally.
Sharpton, Obama and Jackson have done nothing in regards to that. They've done the opposite in order to keep racism alive and well.
You tell me would Dr King think race baiting in 2014 would help or hurt the black community?

 

.....and yet, the same folks who criticize Sharpton, Obama and Jackson are the same ones who criticized King, Evers, Randolph, etc. Funny how that works.

What?????? Is that what he was speaking of.

I am going to tell you the same cowards that attack Sharpton are the same ones who attacked Dr. King.

Tell me how many whites folks Rev. Sharpton has lynched and taken photographs with.

Why would he do that when Hannity is a racist himself.

No (*)(*)(*)(*).

What has Pat Robertson, John Hagee and John Boehner done in those regards?

I don't know you tell me, you folks seem to think you know what Dr. King would think today.

 

Sometimes racists have a hard time understanding the nuances of racism................

 

Is that why it has been alive and well in America for over 400yrs.

 

It's so ingrained in the culture, it's difficult for anyone to be untouched by it, all you can do is try to be aware of it, and to make an effort to overcome it.

And some people really can't tell what the racist part is...

 

No they aren't. A great many of the people who criticized MLK are now dead. Can you cite who the "same folks" are you are talking about?

Sorry you don't know what Dr King would have thought of race baiting by in 2014. Since you don't know, I will tell you. He would have been greatly disappointed knowing that the first black President elected by a majority of white people took that opportunity and used it to re-divide the nation on lines of skin color.

 

There it is folks...

 

I know plenty of successful blacks that tow no lines. And they are conservatives.

As opposed to black liberals who murder? You lumped all white people in with that assassin. How racist of you.

Yes. Anyone's personal/family business is 'so what'. That includes Obama's ejection of his family. It's a sure sign of weakness when you wish to attack the messenger instead of the message.

Your last two dodges were expected. Typical.

 

Do you think your race pimping heroes would die for the 'black cause' like Evers and King? You worship people that use blacks. Not fight for them. Get a clue.

 

Don't play dumb, I am speaking of those who have the same mindset today as those who criticized Dr. King in his day.

Funny Dr. King was labeled many times as a race baiter himself.

Please do since you seem to be the expert on what Dr. King thought and would be thinking today.

Actually he would tell you that is BS, trying to blame the racial division in this country on a black man.

My father and grandfather were my heroes and they have both passed, so troll that stupid BS somewhere else.

 

Get back to the subject. You compare garbage like Sharpton and Jesse to Evers and King. That makes them your heroes relative to this discussion. Get new heroes.

 

Sorry I cant continue. Obama is on video making race dividing statements. Its not open to debate. If you cant admit this is true when we have it ON VIDEO, then you are in denial and therefore wasting my time as nothing I say will ever matter. But for the record, keeping racism alive and well isn't going to help any of us. This Obama hypnosis is far greater than I thought. Even when he is on video it didn't happen.
