Inland GOP depicts Obama's face on RACIST foodstamp.

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"]

Yeah you're right, this discussion isn't about Hillary supporters, nor McCain supporters, nor Obama supporters. This discussion is about you and people like you who blatantly state that the black community is racist because they support Obama because of the color of his skin rather than the principles he holds as a citizen of the U.S. and as a human being.

edit: actually this thread is about a racist foodstamp, not the nonsense you put in your post

w/e I'm tired of all this arguing...lets just be friends =]

[QUOTE="bungie93"]

Yeah, and the 95% of black people voting for Obama aren't racist at all.

-Sun_Tzu-

Are you implying that if you're black and voting for Obama you're racist?

I'm making the point that racism exists in both parties and that, surprisingly, black people can be racist too.

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"][QUOTE="eloyc"]

Bush has been compared so many times with macaques that I can't even remember, and nobody complained about that.

It seems that once you make a joke with a black person, you're a racist. I'm not saying that there's no racist people that like to be offensive against black people, but there's also people that make critical jokes and that's it.

Not every joke that includes a black person is because of racism.

eloyc

........ What are you talking about? What critical joke is to be made from this that does NOT include race when you incorporate a bucket of fried chicken and watermellon with him?

I'm talking in general terms, I didn't say that this is a clear critical joke, but I meant that sometimes the word 'racism' is overused.

so um....where's teh funnay? these images and archetypes were used to perpetuate some of the worst, most degrading violations in American history.

or do you even know what an archetype is? Jim Crow? Is all this new to you? Ignorance is not an excuse for supposing these matters are trivial.

Racism is often times misused (most recently by whites), but real racism and racist depictions exist and persist. If you can't understand how this is in that same vein of BS, you need to do some remedial early-mid 1900's study.

But don't ever be so uninformed as to try to excuse something like this.

I'll tell you again: racism is not the word you want to use. Blacks are democratic party loyalists. They are excited about the prospect of a black candidate and it makes them proud. But trust me, they were going to vote for Obama or Clinton. ANYONE but a Republican.

I guess I should have figured you to be that kind of person. Hardcore republican that will even condone racism, so long as it forwards your interests. Nevermind the actual black Republican party members...

Sheila Raines, an African-American member of the club, was the first person to complain to Fedele about the newsletter. Raines, of San Bernardino, said she has worked hard to try to convince other minorities to join the Republican Party and now she feels betrayed.

"This is what keeps African-Americans from joining the Republican Party," she said. "I'm really hurt. I cried for 45 minutes."

...who were hurt by this. I'm sure she'd find comfort in your replies. Good to know who I'm posting around. Clearly the GOP doesn't want black members in their party. and the best part is all you have to do is keep doing and saying what you guys do.

A despicable, racist attack: the perpetators should be shunned from society for all eternity.

This woman gives Republicans a bad name and she should be expelled from her party (assuming that is possible), and should voluntarily resign all leadership positions.

And the very fact that she thinks this won't be plastered all over the Internet or the news media is bizarre.

She is just a down right disrespectful person. And when promoted for an apology the best she can come up with is something to this effect "I didn't intend to offend anyone."? Or she connected her disgusting racism with a comment Obama made, like Obama's comment initiated her racism?

See the difference here? Making excuses for or engaging in moral relativism only makes YOU and YOUR PARTY look worse. I don't suppose the entire GOP believes any of this stuff is good. HOWEVER, when you come into a thread where people are collectively shaking their heads and attempt to erect a defence around it and spend all your time defending instead of dedicating at least one post to showing us all YOU do not agree, all you do is feed the stereotypes.

I'm done with this vein of conversation between you and I. I've not seen any condemnation. Only "we obviously don't think it's right" BS, which you forced out through clinched teeth. You don't have to say anything anymore, frankly. You've said enough for me to formulate my new opinion of you. Now please, leave me be. I have a thread to entertain. And I'll not be bothering with you at this point.

You've gotta be kidding me...no really, you've gotta be. Please, the only one that's immature here is you. To believe that if I don't come out and say how dumb this whole thing is I obviously must agree with it and be racist....:roll:

If you actually read my first post. I was just stating how their are racist on both sides of the poltical spectrum and all races. Sorry if this is hard for you to comprehend. So why you even posted this in the first place I really don't know. It's not like we know don't know that there are racists our there....not to mention you implied that this group represents most of the GOP, which is pathetic attempt at labeling Republicans as racist.

And by the way, I'm Libertarian. I don't really belong to a political party, but I generally will support Republicans because they share the ideal of small government (most of the time).

I. hate. Morons.

These people give Republicans a bad name.

all of those reasons and many more constitue the answer to your question. and lest you forget that Al Sharpton, Cynthia McKaskill and Carol Mosley-Braun (all black) ran for President 2004 and got next to none of the black vote, I think your sad theory that black people selected Barack Obama because he was black resembles swiss cheese.

You certainly implied that I was somehow racist for not condoning what they said, even though I thought it was obvious and I didn't have to point it out.

Not that I expect YOU to understand, since you seem to believe everyone who disagrees with your silly GOP bashing is uneducated, but I wasn't born yesterday and am aware of those images. . . none of which are used in your picture in the OP (you know, the one you're complaining about?).

The idea that all black people like watermelon is not racism; it's a stereotype. And black people in the GOP? There are quite a few, especially in the White House.

And I have told you before, I'm not a Republican. But hey, anyone who disagrees with you must be the enemy. . .:lol:

1.) relative to the number of black Democrats, there are very few black Republicans. don't be naieve. Don't expect us to be either, k?

2.) It was a stereotype that perpetuated racism. Don't try to drag me down into some simple-minded debate over semantics. it cheapens the impact of the experience.

3.) No, you just defend Republicans at every turn. Including now. As you bill this "silly GOP bashing"...except that it's not a trivial matter, and it was a vein of the GOP.

Well the dollar bill of Obama doesn't say that the Inland GOP group is racist, but is certianly implies it......

You don't have to outright call someone a racist to label them as one. You went crazy on me for not condoning this in my first post, in which I was just making a comment on somebody's comment, which is usally what I do in every thread. You claimed that I never stated that I condoned this (which I didn't, but I thought I didn't have to point out that I don't), which means that I must support it. Now this whole dollar bill thing is racist, correct? So by saying I support this, you're implying that I'm racist. Is that too hard to follow for you? Or do I need to break it down even further......

I haven't addressed the matters in the OP? I said that I didn't support this crap. What do you want me to do, write a 20 page essay on it? I didn't think it was that important because I already know that there's plenty of racist people out there. That's why this isn't suprising to me.....

And you haven't addressed the fact that you labeled the GOP as supporting this crap.

I am aware of the Jim Crow laws and all that segregation and such that happened back then. Either way I find this funny. I find racism and stereotypes funny. Thats just how I am.

1.) relative to the number of black Democrats, there are very few black Republicans. don't be naieve. Don't expect us to be either, k?

2.) It was a stereotype that perpetuated racism. Don't try to drag me down into some simple-minded debate over semantics. it cheapens the impact of the experience.

3.) No, you just defend Republicans at every turn. Including now. As you bill this "silly GOP bashing"...except that it's not a trivial matter, and it was a vein of the GOP.

wanna try again? without trying to find ways to excuse everything done in the OP?

1. Perhaps you shouldn't say that there are so few black Republicans, and should instead say there are few black Republicans in relation to black Democrats?

2. Stereotype =/= racism. It's that simple, even if it does help fuel racism.

3. I am not defending Republicans here; I'm saying that your accusation that this is racism is not true. You bash the GOP in just about every topic you make and are so incredibly biased that it'sridiculous.

1.) Because there ARE very few. How about you name off all the black politicians in Washington DC that are Reublican. I'll even let you include Michael Steele. Shouldn't be hard. there are only about 8 of them. ;) Then you can tell me who in the CBC are Republicans. Again, I'll wait.

2.) Semantics. It's been used as a weapon to HURT black people. It is a tool used to perpetuate racism and racial stereotypes used to subjugate and margianalize the black Americans in order to perpetuate the idea of them as less than equal. These images existed and persisted in these ways into the late 80s. the people who put this together knew what it would hit and what it means. It really IS that simple.

3.) See #2. This was an act used to stoke the same fires of bigotry and racism we've seen time and time again. Your game of semantics is just that...a game. and a deviation from the real issue at hand. This item not only offends the black community, it offends fellow black GOPers. But this is the internet...where internet boldness like yours can persist. The reality is that you wouldn't tell a black GOPer who is rightly offended by this (like the black Republican interviewed in the OP) that it isn't racist to her face. Nor to mine. So do what you do...play your game...but expect me to sit it out. I know what it is. I've seen it time and time again. The only thing it lacks is a noose...but people like YOU would simply say that "well you know...people of all colors were hung, so...it's not a symbol of racism or our racist past...it's just a coincidence that these symobls find themselves aligned together in a way that denegrates a black man..."

3a.) The funniest part of it to me is that, I could care less if there were perpetuated by the GOP...as do you. The fact of the matter is no matter who created this I would have this very same opinion about it being wrong, racist and disgusting...and you'd sit there and issue the same defense of it. so cut the BS. It's no more about the GOP than watermelon is. It's about the continuation and abuse of historically denigrating imagry to stir up those emotions.

*hardest eye-roll ever*

You can do better than this.

As always, dreams, it was a pleasure to watch you do battle. To the republicans honest enough to call this what it is, i commend you. to those that say it is a stereotype not racism, to think that most blacks love fried chicken and watermelon is to believe a stereotype. to print imagery based on that as an attempt at insult in racist.TBoogy

I needed that.
