Outright Racism In the Election
[Guest post by Aaron Worthing; if you have tips, please send them here. Or by Twitter @AaronWorthing.]
I am sad to tell you that this primary has been tainted by race. I actually read a commentator who said that the reason to prefer Rick Perry over Herman Cain was because Perry is white. He wrote:
Let’s not even deal with the facts right now. Let’s deal with just our whiteness and pride – and loyalty. We have the chance to remove the first African-American president, and you want to replace him with another black man? And I’m not afraid or ashamed to say that as white people, we should choose Perry because he’s a white man.
And who was this knuckle-dragging racist who wrote those words. Well, you can follow the link, or read below the fold…
…and see that no one actually said it.
Yep, it’s a patented Aaron Worthing headfake. No one wrote that about Rick Perry, but radio host and generalized racist Tom Joyner…
…said it about Obama. Here’s the unaltered quote from him:
Let’s not even deal with the facts right now. Let’s deal with just our blackness and pride – and loyalty. We have the chance to re-elect the first African-American president, and that’s what we ought to be doing. And I’m not afraid or ashamed to say that as black people, we should do it because he’s a black man.
He goes on to claim speciously that
There are a great number of people who are against him because he’s a black man. That should be enough motivation for us to band together and get it done.
Right, so forget whether Obama is the best choice to be president, the issue is sticking it to the racists and what is best for the country be damned. (And he is greatly exaggerating the effect of white racism, too.)
Mr. Joyner, you may have marched with your fellow racist Al Sharpton to the Martin Luther King memorial, but you have spat on what the man stood for. Hell, you even ignore the part when Dr. King said that black racism was not just wrong, but tactically suicidal, given demographic realities.
Via the Washington Post (via Insty), which has much more on the blatantly racist calls for Obama’s re-election.

I’m against Obama because he’s a SCOAMF.
Pious Agnostic (7c3d5b) — 10/19/2011 @ 6:18 amIn Scripture it talks about people hating and killing the prophets among them, only to revere them later on. King was revered by many while alive, and given lip service after his death, with those who would claim to champion his interests doing the opposite of what he said if they think it will serve their short-term goals.
People hear (and believe) what they want to, and disregard the rest…
MD in Philly (3d3f72) — 10/19/2011 @ 6:38 amWell that was his first mistake, marching with Sharpton, a man whose public career began by abetting a lie, moved on to inciting a riot.

And I’m not afraid or ashamed to say that as black people, we should do it because he’s a black man.
Joyner isn’t just racist, he’s damn disingenuous. He knows full well that if Obama were a conservative, or perhaps even a true centrist, that not only would he drop the idiotic racial-solidarity meme, he’d want to push Obama to the back of the proverbial bus.
I’m sure there are a percentage of white rightists who through the eons have gone into the voting booth and pulled the lever or punched the chad for a white liberal instead of a non-white conservative. But perhaps most of those people at least don’t delude themselves into believing their political biases somehow imbue them with a high level of tolerance, humanity and social-cultural sophistication.
Mark (411533) — 10/19/2011 @ 6:51 amWe knew this already about blacks. They are bigots
The fact 90% went Obama instead of Hilary and have never been 90% for anyone in a Democratic Presidential Primary except for a black dude says it all.
I have not problem with tribalism but it bothers me when the other tribes complains about it and turns themselves in victims.
OBD (8d652e) — 10/19/2011 @ 6:53 amObama has been an unmitigated disaster for black people
they’re far far far worse off than they ever could have dreamed they would be four years ago

Mitch (073421) — 10/19/2011 @ 7:37 amI think it was Spike Lee who told us that black people are incapable of being racist. By definition.
JVW (4d72aa) — 10/19/2011 @ 7:55 amAaron always brings these big picture insights that sound so obvious once I read them, but I hadn’t realized.
This is so true. It does blacks no good to see the world this way. The best thing for them is also the right thing for everybody, and that’s to not prefer one’s race, but rather to regard folks by their dang character.
Dustin (b2fb78) — 10/19/2011 @ 8:14 amObd
I wouldn’t say all or most black ppl are racist, just that they are just as human and fallible as whites.
Aaron Worthing (171dac) — 10/19/2011 @ 9:07 amThis quote is incredible, and yet all too common. It is virulent racism, pure and simple. As for me, I am against Obama not because of his race, but because of his incompetence, his loony left dogma, and his whiny and entited wife who keeps spending our tax dollars on her lavish global vacations. They are vile people, these Obamas, and we need to vote them out of the White House. Race doesn’t enter into it.
Kevin Stafford (abdb87) — 10/19/2011 @ 9:15 amUnderstand. The vision of a black community that no longer responds to these racial appeals, and actually demands that black “leaders” accomplish something, causes these people to wake up screaming at night. Safer streets, better schools, jobs? That’s a little more difficult than demands that we all “get down with the struggle”.

SSSSSSHHHHHHUSH! The liberals command you!

peedoffamerican (6277b7) — 10/19/2011 @ 9:39 amYou are right. Keep discussing racism. It actually paints your other opinions and viewpoints in the proper light when others see the outright racist comments that are made routinely on this site.
Billiam (ae6b6f) — 10/19/2011 @ 9:45 amI’m not going to get into an argument with a Klansman in black sheets. Esspecially one with a moderated forum (cough cough coward).
Wait a minute. This is an attempt to dissuade normal people from voting for Herman Cain.
Yup. That’s it exactly.
Know how to piss off a racist? Vote for Herman Cane.

Scum like you cheapen the civil rights movement by crying racist with no proper basis, and very often, they do it to attempt to shut down analysis of democrat racism.

Face it. You’re a hack, William. All you’ve got, in the face if real racism, is wild flailing.

Let me know where I “basically” did that.
Billiam (ae6b6f) — 10/19/2011 @ 10:15 amHe dropped the soap long ago, papertiger.
Anyway, who is the father of the democrat party? Andrew Jackson, one of the most evil creatures to inhabit the highest office. Perhaps the loudest champion of slavery Western civilization shall ever know. Not a fan of the natives, either.
Who is the father of the entitlement iteration of the democrat party? I’d say LBJ. Ya know, with a Pro-Lynching record? Or maybe FDR, the king of interning Americans for their race?
But oh, those evil Republicans keep saying we should regard a man for the content of his character. So racist are they!

ropelight (9cf01f) — 10/19/2011 @ 10:29 amWhy get upset? He’s only stating in the open what most people (left and right) already think. The only point I would make is that anyone who calls into his show keep his quote handy when he starts in on the racism being wielded against Obama. He’ll rant and rave but the point will be made (unless there is the 7 sec delay in which case you may find yourself cut off.
scr_north (4875ee) — 10/19/2011 @ 10:36 amSince a greater percentage of Republican Congressmen voted for the Civil Rights Act than Democrat Congressmen, your point is a bit non-sensical.

I don’t think you know the race of most of the people who post here. I don’t think you know which of these commenters are part of mixed race families, or that you know who has adopted and loves a child of another race. I don’t think you know either the identity or the race of the closest friend of any commenter on Patterico. Your vile racist utterings and accusations are offensive on their face. But it is your unsubstantiated assumptions that make them even more offensive. Please stop.
elissa (d553cd) — 10/19/2011 @ 12:09 pmOne of your fellow commentators called all black people bigots earlier in this thread. You may want to address that comment. Or are you less concerned with this type of remark from a person on the same side of the aisle, Elissa?

DohBiden (d54602) — 10/19/2011 @ 12:33 pmThey stereotyped the Catholic priests who actually were raping children as child rapists. I’m not sure what your point is. Are you suggesting we were not lenient enough on the convicted priests? And I’m not sure that either of these supposed stereotypes can be claimed exclusively by either party. Sounds like you are just placing every injustice you’ve ever heard of into a nice, neat box with a “liberal” label in your tiny head.

Funny choice of words, there. Snow white.
Anyway, given you insinuate when failing to prove anything, I will take that as seriously as it deserves to be.
> It actually paints your other opinions and viewpoints in the proper light when others see the outright racist comments that are made routinely on this site.
Um, you have a problem with Patrick’s taking a mainly free speech approach to the comments?
> Scum” like me vote for the party of the official rights movement
Yeah, republicans are only responsible for the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, the civil rights act of 1964, and the voting rights act of 1965. But don’t let facts get in the way of invective.
> We just recently had a democratic president, house, and senate. Guns are still available for purchase.
Most likely only because of a (relatively) conservative Supreme Court.
> Elissa didn’t feel the need to address that comment.
I have not read where anyone has to address every stupid thing said on the internet.
> OBS isn’t a troll,
How on earth would you know that?
> Why would you ask me those questions?
To expose your shocking lack of knowledge of history, if I had to guess.

Chuck Bartowski (e84e27) — 10/19/2011 @ 5:47 pmKanye West incorrectly blamed George Bush for the debacle in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. I’ve got lots of relatives in New Orleans, and they all know that the vast majority of the blame lay with the mayor of New Orleans and the governor of Louisiana. In fact, the federal government’s response to Katrina was faster than its response to any previous major hurricane.

Am I in the wrong thread?
No. I just thought we could pick on the other grievance mongering minority group seeking extra constitutional “rights” based on their ineptitude,.
For a change.
papertiger (e55ba0) — 10/19/2011 @ 6:01 pmIn fact, the federal government’s response to Katrina was faster than its response to any previous major hurricane.
Err, that’s not actually saying much, I’m afraid.
JBS (1b86f1) — 10/19/2011 @ 6:11 pmBut I should point out that the Louisiana leftists, when they talk about the Federal Government being responsible for Katrina, etc., aren’t talking about (or at least aren’t only talking about) the post storm response–they’re also including the Army Corps of Engineers fiddling with the canal and levees, and similar stuff, in the years before Katrina. I’m not at all familiar with the details, so I’m not claiming they’re right–just noting they’re talking about more than the speed of response or lack thereof.
Now, on to the main point of the thread–
1)your average black in this country is raised on a diet of (mis)information which constantly reinforces two ideas 1)that the White Man is constantly trying to do the Black Man dirty and Point 2)that ultraliberal policies are the correct policies to follow.
2) leads to the inference that any opposition to ultraliberal policies (IOW, opposition to Obama) is wrong, and based either on errors in thinking or intentional hostility.
Point 1 leads to the inference that the correct alternative in that last sentence is “intentional hostility”. It also leads to the inference that any attempt to return to a previous status quo (even if only to the status quo of Bush Sr. or Bush Jr.–or Clinton for that matter) is an attempt to strengthen an inherently racist system.
IOW, for many blacks, believing that Obama’s policies are the right ones to follow, the only explanation for any opposition, is to believe that opposition is motivated by racism.
And there is, face it, a very honest sort of tribalism that most people share–they’re proud of Obama because he’s the President and he’s one of them, and are more prone to defend him. Which is the sort of behavior that is found in most social groups of whatever ethnic/religious/cultural/social type.

Why does Kanye West think that George Bush doesn’t like black people? He may be incorrect, but something made him say it. Explain.
West probably is projecting his own racist biases unto others. Delve into the minds of such people (ie, liberals) and you’ll discover the following:

they’re proud of Obama because he’s the President and he’s one of them
He’s “one of them” mainly because he’s a leftwinger. If Obama were a conservative — or even a staunch moderate — I bet a high percentage of the black community would lose a lot of its enthusiasm for the guy.
If leftism were a race, that really would be the “racial” category many people into identity politics throughout this society, including the notorious self-appointed activists in the African-American populace, would most closely cling to or identify with.
Mark (411533) — 10/19/2011 @ 7:48 pmMackubin T Owens’ careful documentation of the Democrat Party’s legacy of racism was already linked.
Then of course, there’s the US’ history of Civil Rights and who actually supported civil rights for minorities. Including women. (Hint: It weren’t the Democrats)
And of course we can’t forget the revisionist Democrat fiction regarding the Dixiecrats.
And let’s not forget the anti-Semitic nature of a great many of today’s Professional Left.
Face it, if it weren’t for bald-faced lies and propaganda, the Liberals wouldn’t have any race-baiting ammunition against Conservatives. But since that’s all they got (and the hope they can keep the masses sufficiently comatose), that’s what they’re bringin to the party all night, all night.
John Hitchcock (ba2f15) — 10/19/2011 @ 8:00 pmThe critical thinking skills of all involved come into sharp focus when you realize this “minority group” represents more than 50% of the population.

I think that some of those statistics can be explained by one simple fact–a lot of ‘ethnic whites’ in the Midwest and Northeast are, or were, bigoted against blacks.
By “ethnic whites” I mean European immigrants and their descendants who tended to settle in urban communities together, like the Poles and the Irish, and who tended to be Democrats in their political affiliation.
The most dramatic instance of this is probably the opposition to the integration of the Boston Public School system, the core of which was the Irish community of South Boston.

I agree with John.
It’s a shame, but if you show a liberal being a racist, you will get a few brand spanking new commenters apparently pretending to be racists.
Kilgore Trout’s favorite trick. If you can’t find the hate, just say it yourself and then cite it as proof of the hate.
And it’s highly effective. A lot of folks are taking on the nasty mobies instead of focusing on just how racist many Obama supporters really are.

Btw why did the rebels kill a jew-hating dictator?
So sorry for the O/T.
DohBiden (d54602) — 10/20/2011 @ 1:01 pmEric, that seems fake to me. I’m no expert, but even the twitter account of his seems pretty obviously fake.
But who knows. Either this idiot is real, or the idiot faking the idiot is real. Either way, idiot.
Dustin (b2fb78) — 10/20/2011 @ 1:02 pmO/T-the OWS protesters don’t want us to transform into England because there is not enough socialism.
Sounds reasonable Dustin.

There are about 200 references besides twitter on the guy as a concert musician
that acct looks like one someone sets up and then doesnt bother with
EricPWJohnson (e83e82) — 10/20/2011 @ 2:33 pmI meant you have nothing to apologize for. I understand your comments pretty well at this point.
Can you imagine how ridiculous the race hustle is going to get in 2012? What happens on the night Obama loses the election? I predict there will be violence. Make sure you have a good insurance policy if you live in Boston or St Louis!
Dustin (b2fb78) — 10/20/2011 @ 2:33 pmI’m a little paranoid about folks online at this point, to be honest. Though some of those other accounts seem to have very little detail. The musician doesn’t seem to have a photo of himself, and his comments on twitter do appear (to paranoid me) to be computer generated.
Anyway, I just assume noob racists on conservative threads are fake unless they have something to say on various other issues.
Dustin (b2fb78) — 10/20/2011 @ 2:35 pmWell, Stari Momak seems to self identify as a conservative…. (Suprised Our Man from Stormfront hasn’t shown up yet on this thread)
The true bigots seem to refer to themselves nowadays as “racial realists”, btw–that may help identify the real ones from the Mobys.
And there are some real members of the Hard Right who can not by any means be called Nazis, but certainly dance along the borderline of racism as far as they can get away with. The one I know of best is the blogger who called himself TJIC, who shut down his blog because the local police were harrassing him about guns and similar issues–that is, harrassing him over thing about which he was definitely correct about, and had nothing to do with his bigotry.

well people dont go to that length to just make a boob comment – in my dealing with Europe (which this guy is) this is a common conception as they are very hostile to blacks as they are selling on the streets and sidewalks of every city – it was very weird to see Jamaicans selling hats in Austria during Christmas outside traditional Vienna shops
EricPWJohnson (e83e82) — 10/20/2011 @ 3:08 pmInteresting insight, Eric.
In my travels, which are probably much more limited than yours, race is much more of an issue outside the USA.
We should really appreciate what America has accomplished. It’s just one of many reasons to resent the hard left using racism and race baiting, which I believe undermines and even erases the success of MLK and many like him.
Dustin (b2fb78) — 10/20/2011 @ 3:10 pmOne point:
Neal boasts of his program that creates a large number of twitter accounts and then fills them with comments mimicking the comments all over twitter from legit accounts. He then tweaks them enough to seem somewhat realistic.
This is the crude nonsense he pats himself on the back for as ‘hacking’ and ‘political activism’.
So it really isn’t so much trouble to go through.
Dustin (b2fb78) — 10/20/2011 @ 3:12 pmIt’s funny how liberal this “conservative” site is. This is par for the course these days as so-called conservatives bend over backward to show they agree with most liberal nostrums.
DN (b2f1fb) — 10/20/2011 @ 11:00 pmIt’s funny how many new commenters this thread has attracted. All of them acting like it’s normal to be a racist on a conservative blog, which shows they probably are liberals with delusions about conservatives.
