Racism, as in real racism. Like the examples I gave. "I mean, you’ve got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” Joe Biden Now that statement says Obama was the first articulate, bright, and clean African-American. Pretty insulting isn't it? " ...if Palin ever visited New York, she would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers." Sandra Bernhard Now that implies that black men are all gang-rapists. Very very very insulting. "Blacks and Hispanics are “too busy eating WATERMELONS and tacos to learn how to read and write.” Mike Wallace Again, very very insulting. “RATHER I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.” Robert Byrd “I am a former kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties of the state …. The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia …. It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va …. I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities.” Robert Byrd I hope I don't have to explain those to you. There you have a REAL KU KLUX KLANSMAN. "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time." Robert Byrd In this one, the famous Democratic Klansman is offering a defense for his racism .... btw he NEVER once apologized for it unlike what Democrats say .... he only allowed as how there were some whites as bad as the black folks he hated his whole life. Thats what he was getting at. -------------------------------------------- Speaking of the KKK, did you know revered Franklin Delano Roosevelt picked a former Klansman for his Vice President and nominated a Klansman to the Supreme Court? Did you know the Roosevelt administration INVENTED redlining? That FDR was urged by some Southern Democratic leaders to support an anti-lynching law but he refused and laughed uproariously at the very idea? He thought it was hilarious.
