Scroll For Updates:I wish these people knew what racism is, but alas, I am forced to report on their ignorance

Posted by on 10/9/2008

Wearing white is RAAAAACIST!

You cannot parody these people.

You just can’t:

“Palin is wearing white again, inciting the racist crowds. She should just drop all pretense and put on her white hood and light up a cross. She is a despicable human being.”

A sample of comments in the PDS-infected thread at the Democratic Underground:

Coming next: The Associated Press publishes an “analysis” of Sarah Palin’s “racially-tinged” wardrobe.

Say it ain’t so, she wore white!  I bet everyone in the audience picked up on that! It must have brought back vivid memories of the KKK, right?

How about words?  What are we limited to on that front?

You can’t say “thug thizzle” ” that’s RAAACIST!

I’ve mentioned Palestra.net reporter Shelby Holliday’s excellent work interviewing the Homeless People for Obama riff-raff in Ohio on this blog and in my column. (See here and here.)

Wouldn’t you know it: I am now being accused of RAAAAAACISM for repeating the phrase one of those homeless people used in his endorsement of Obama.

That’s right. I can’t say “thug thizzle” and explain its street meaning.

Because it’s a, you know, “racially-tinged” remark unless it’s uttered by vagabonds and rappers.

A HuffPo huffer accuses me of race-baiting here.

Reader jgilmore wields the race card:

Your article may very well be an accurate portray of acorn and its relationship with Barack Obama. However, I don’t think acorn has even been charged with fraud just yet, however I may be mis-informed as I don’t keep up with acorn. Nonetheless to quote a homeless man and reference the quote to Obama doing his thug thizzle is racist. How do you even know what “thug thizzle” is? I hope your are not truely racist and hopefully your are just trying to pick up ratings. Nonetheless, I find it offensive!

As do Aaron and Roberta Fields. who e-mail:

“Thug Thizzle” is your cheap attempt to incite racial fears in this election.

It’s not working. As a matter of fact, it’s working against you. It makes us love Obama even more.

Not my homeboy, fo’ shizzle.

    OMG my coffee cup is racist! I never knew that I was a racist — but LOOK at my coffee cup! It’s WHITE! I need an intervention fast!

    Lisa, does your coffee cup support Obama? If not, then it absolutely, surely is racist!

    My coffee cup most assuredly does not support Obama – so, yea – I guess that cements it. My coffee cup is white therefore I’m racist.

    I totally get it. (:|

    The coffee cup is racist; of that there is no question. But I don’t think that automatically extends to you. Perhaps if you pledge to support Obama you will be absolved of all responsibility for owning the racist coffee cup. Just a thought… <:-p

    Here’s a thought for these twits who want to scream “Racist” at everyone who disagrees with them. I’ll actually agree with Obama on one point. This isn’t the country that his father worked so hard to come to to study. It certainly has changed in the past 46 years. Let me list a few ways it has changed.

    Blacks are no longer required to sit in the back of the bus.

    Blacks are now allowed to sit at the same lunch counter as whites.

    Blacks are no longer forced to drink from separate water fountains or use separate bathrooms

    Blacks are no longer beaten with clubs, spray with fire hoses, or attacked with dogs for demanding their right to vote.

    and last, but not least,

    Blacks are no longer lynched for trying to register other blacks to vote.

    Now if Obama wants this country to go back to the way it was when his father came here, he should speak up. I think his supporters might change their minds if they put any thought into what he is actually saying.
