Proof that at least SOME of the GOP are racist

O No!O No!Old Faithful

IRVINE, Calif. (AP) -- A Southern California GOP official who sent out an e-mail picturing President Barack Obama's face on the body of a baby chimpanzee issued an apology late Monday after a weekend of criticism that ended with a strongly worded public rebuke from the local Republican Party chairman, who also called for an ethics investigation into the incident.



The email sent on Friday by Davenport to a small group of GOP committee members shows an image posed like a family portrait, of chimpanzee parents and child, with Obama's face superimposed on the young chimp. Text beneath the picture reads, "Now you know why no birth certificate."

This is the second time in recent years that an Orange County political official has been in the news for Obama-themed emails.

In early 2009, Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose forwarded an email to a group of people from his personal account depicting a picture of the White House with a watermelon patch as its garden. Grose later resigned amid the backlash.



Now I'm not saying ALL Repubs are racist, but for people to deny that SOME hate Obama simply because he is black is dishonest and naive.

And another good point I'd like to make here is this - how STUPID these people are to think they can post something like this and get away with it! If they are that dumb, how could they ever do a good job for the people who elected them?!

Reid apologizes for racial remarks about Obama during campaign
HARRY REID

January 09, 2010|From Mark Preston, CNN Political Editor

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid apologized Saturday for making racially insensitive remarks about Barack Obama during the presidential campaign.

Journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann reported the remarks in their new book, "Game Change," which is scheduled to be in bookstores Tuesday.

The authors quote Reid as saying privately that Obama, as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

"He [Reid] was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,' " Halperin and Heilemann say.

Call me naive or stupid but I don't get it. Do apes mean a slur to blacks? When Bush was in office I got this same email with Bush's face on the ape. And it was from a die hard Democrat. I didn't realize it was suppose to be racial. I thought it was comparing the intellegence, something like the evolution theory had sort of stopped with the person in the picture. I guess if you're looking for something to be racial you can find it in anything.

Another troll hijacking the forums. Please read up on the history of the KKK and the Democratic party.

By your rationale, all Dems must be racist since the Black Panthers are Obama supporters.

You know that saying, "I was born at night, but not last night". Well, I think you might have actually been born "last night".

I think your naive. Just like the word light can mean illumination or weight. (Although I never saw the Bush thing- and don't approve of it), Im sure it was meant to reference his intelligence thing. The Obama thing was part of a series of racist propaganda, and that was its intent.

Not only would be unfair, it would be a lie. A little research would also prove to you that the Democratic party is actually more racist then the Republican party. Research before you post, it keeps you from looking like a fool.

Only republicans are racist, it's ok if you're a democrat.

I have mentioned this before, just the other day there was someone who came into my business yelling at the television. He came to the counter and was complaining (loudly) about the Obama debt. Under his breath, one of my employees said "no other president has accumulated that much debt except for Bush". The customer heard this and replied "at least Bush wasnt a COON". And he was asked to leave my business. Racism is there and its THE driving force and final answer for a lot of people.

Blue, you can play the race card all you want and it doesn't change the fact that Obama is a lousy president. He's actually half white by the way, I'm not so sure his birth certificate doesn't say white. Both halves are lousy. I've heard no one say that republicans haven't ran up debt. Both parties are responsible. However, at this time there is only one party that is interested in making the cuts to get the debt under control.

Thats a great way to run a business. You let one of your employees bait a guy who was obviously upset over something he has every right to be upset about, and then when he used a derogatory slur you told him to take his business elsewhere. You must not need your business, because about 50% of all the people out there are fed up with this guy's shenanigans. The guy you kicked out will probable relate the story of how the "Obamanite" told him to take his business elsewhere, and his friends will probable follow suit. He will never mention what he said, however.
The best advice I can give you is to tell your employee to keep his mouth shut and not to address political issues with customers, and leave the politics outside the workplace, lest before long you won't have to worry what tax backet you are in.
No one argues that the term he used is wrong, but you fail to realize that there are clowns in every party, heck the lead Democrat clown is currently in charge, and he hates white folks.

No....its not! Its a fact which is why most minorities vote with Democrats. Because the Republican agenda dosen't support them. Take the Hispanic community for example. Theoretically, most of the values of Hispanics would fit solidly within the Republican party. And yet the party has ignored them. Instead of embrassing immigration reform and adding the biggest growing minority into the Republican party they have turned their back on them and pushed them to the Democratic party. Both Bush and McCain both understood this. They tried to sway the Republican party into acceptance, but it just didn't work. They couldn't convince the Republican party to embrace the idea. Now McCain has done a complete 360 degree turn. He has had to conform to the Republican idea in order to get ensure re-election.

The South is historically Republican and it was the South that opposed Civil Rights Laws. It is still this way, when it comes to civil rights, Republicans typically vote NO.

The proof is in the pudding, look at the voting patterns of minorities.

And I maintain the the KKK does NOT vote Democrat.

Spoken like a true Republican. I should allow some RACIST blow hard to disrupt my business. And NO RACISTS ARE NOT WELCOME AT MY BUSINESS. I welcome customers of all race and color and WILL NOT ALLOW ONE RACIST REPUBLICAN JERK to make them feel uncomfortable. No one has a right to come into one of my busiesses and disrupt my other customers. He is as welcome to his opinion as my employee was. At least my employee said it quietly and wasn't disrupting the rest of the customers with yelling and cursing like this racist blow hole.

And thank you, but I don't really need your advice. I do just fine without it. By the way, the other 50% have a right to NOT HEAR it.

Personally, I cannot see how he has shown that to you? Does he hire only African Americans? Has he pushed and African American agenda? Have the white people in this country been enslaved or disinfranchised in some way. Your statement is without foundation. The ramblings of a person who fears equality and losing his superior white status in this country. You have been watching too much Glen Beck.

Then you my friend are in a bad way. You allowed your employee to cause a ruckus in front of other patrons??? My goodness, please tell us you don't do that everyday. I am sure you don't need my advice. I am sure you don't need anyone's advice, seems like you know exactly what you are doing....lol.
Hopefully the guy lets everyone know exactly what business it was and how he was treated.

In reality, I do believe you did the right thing, but I don't believe you did it for the altruistic intentions you highlight here. you did it because he was badmouthing your hero, didn't you???? C'mon, you can tell us......haha

The man sat idly by in a church for 20 years where a preacher preached about how whitey was hoding them back, and about how we deserved what we got on 9-11. He in his book spoke of how he was ashamed of his mother (she was the white one you know). His actions have shown me more racism, than you tolerated in your place of business. Would you kick his azz out as well???

Oh, what platform are we talking about? More entitlements? Redistribution of wealth? Last time I check civil rights issues were settled a long time ago, voted primary in favor of by the Republican party, while the Democrats were blasting the poor blacks with water hoses.

First of all, I don't support racism on any level and find reverse racism just as ugly. Secondly, I don't think either you or I were there sitting next to him for 20 years listening to this, therefore its hard to know how often it was said or who was present. Thirdly, I have read all of Obamas books and never read anything about him being ashamed of his mother (perhapes you would like to site which book, what chapter and which page this was on). He seemed to absolutly revere his mother from my perspective. How have HIS ACTIONS shown you racism? Fourthly, I am secure in myself and my race to understand that it does sometimes allow me advantages not given to people of other races.
teyatesteyatesOld Faithful
I suppose the proper terminology was he was embarrassed "for: his mother, in Dreams of My Father. In any case, the point I am trying to make is that Obama has shown as much racism in his actions as the man you kicked out. I wonder is Obama ever called any one a "cracker"? hmmmm. Don't know, don't care, because it has nothing to do with the fact that you were just PO'ed at the man because he was speaking out against your beloved.
You are secure enough in your race to understand that it has its advantanges? Please expound on that since most of us believe ourselves to be equals. Perhaps you are of a more superior race than the rest of us.

Is this racist?


No.....thats just stupid. We see things different with his progressive agenda. There is a difference between Progressive and Socialist. They are not interchangable. Nor is Socialism interchangable with Democracy. (Remember that because the new Republican idea of Free Market and Democracy are incompatible. More and more I am hearing the word Democracy replaced by Socialism by the right and this is REALLY frightening.)

But I do agree with you that he is a bit arrogant.

Like I said, I never read this. He seemed to revear his mother. Perhaps the page and chapter where I can find this gem of information. And I disagree with you. I haven't seen him show any racism at all. Perhaps if you weren't so suspicious that he is calling you a cracker behind your back you would be able to let this go. All you are proving here is exactly what I have said. You feel DIFFERENT from Obama. Hes not the SAME as you. African Americans, Asians, Hispanics.....they are all DIFFERENT then you. IN YOUR EYES!

And if you are trying to convey here that you don't think white people have an advantage in this country over minorities, you are SADLY mistaken. I have worked for more than one company that filed all NON-White applicants in the trash can. Your barking up the wrong tree to assume that they have the same advantages as you. Let me ask you this...... When was the last time you heard anyone critic Bush for being white? How many times have you heard someone argue that Bush was a bad President BECAUSE he was a cracker?

the facts are this man, Obama, has surrounded himself with some of the most poisoned, treasonous people on the planet. He has gravitated toward America-hating socilists, communists and Marxists. He befriends people such as the terroist Bill Ayers. He associated with the Reverend "God D%$& America" Wright. He acknowledges leadership of George Soros. He hires people like Rahm Emmanuel. He spoke out about a cop incident saying they acted unfairly when he knoew nothing about the case at all.
The National Black Republican Association, defines someone as a person who harbors feelings of superiority and antagonism for another race. In his books he describes his anomosity to ward white people.

"I found solace in nursing a sense of greivance and animosity against my mother's race."...Dreams of My Father
He said he remained in the church of Rev. Wright, "it came about as a choice and not an epiphany.".
he helped celbrate the lifetime acheivement of Louis Farakhan, one of the biggest racists in the US>
Should I go on or do you want to concede that your hero is as guilty as the man who came to your store??

You want the page and number, read again for yourself, and this time pay attention to what you are reading. Stop being so blinded by the spotlight of a rising star and look at the history associated with him.

Since the liberal agenda loves to use Google, why not type in the "Party of White Supremacy" and see which party was associated with that moniker....that's right, it was the Democratic Party. How soon we forget.
The Democratic campaign posters of 1868 to the early 1900's declared "This is the a white man's country - let the white man rule!."...thats right not the Republican Party, but the Democratic Party
teyatesteyatesOld Faithful
Perhaps though the Democratic Party has replaced the Ku Klux Klan, which was its enforcement arm during the 1960's, with the Black Panthers today. Is that any different?
Why not punish the Black Panthers who were filmed committing voter right infringement? Why not prosecute them? No one ever really answered that question.

I did it because I HATE racism no matter where it comes from. If I were to have asked him to leave because of his political views than I would have asked him to leave a good hour before I did. And although I expect all my employees to show respect to my customers, I will not subject them to abuse.

We will just agree to disagree then. A party that does everything it can to keep the poor minorities as poor minorities is not a friendly platform no matter how good it makes you feel.

I've let this ride all day. The reason I posted this was to show that although SOME people don't like Obama because of his policies, there are many who dislike him because he is black. I firmly believe that if he balanced the budget, eliminated the deficit, got unemployment down to 0 percent, and cut taxes on top of it all, there are people who would still hate him, and all because he is black.

Some people are racist, period. From all walks of life, all cultures, all races and all political parties. Had GWB walked on water, found a cure for all diseases, and ended wars, people would still hate him for simply existing.
This logic makes as much sense as saying all those who didn't vote for John McCain HATE white people.
