White folks was in caves while we was building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it."
Rev. Al Sharpton

Jesse Jackson referred to New York City as "Hymie Town"

"I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark"
Rush Limbaugh

P.S. "George Bush doesn't care about black people!"
 
Rush isn't rich because of catering to racism

sharpton and jessie Jackdonkey are
 
Pffft, really? :rofl

"Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"

"Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."

"I want to know. I look at Iowa, I look at Illinois—I want to see the murders. I want to see the looting. I want to see all the stuff that happened in New Orleans. I see devastation in Iowa and Illinois that dwarfs what happened in New Orleans. I see people working together. I see people trying to save their property…I don’t see a bunch of people running around waving guns at helicopters, I don’t see a bunch of people running shooting cops. I don’t see a bunch of people raping people on the street. I don’t see a bunch of people doing everything they can…whining and moaning—where’s FEMA, where’s BUSH. I see the heartland of America. When I look at Iowa and when I look at Illinois, I see the backbone of America."

Sharpton. Easily. Any issue that comes up, his first reaction is to make it about race, regardless. I remember the Tawana Brawly case. Blatant racism.
 
OK, I was stupid, you are right. Sharpton is obvious, Rush a little less so, except he makes so many borderline digs that you eventually figure out that he is baiting people with race. He is like the guy running around using the word "niggardly"...it's not a word in common usage, and is used by people to get a reaction.



Jackson, "Himeytown", and all his anti-semetic remarks over the years? He race baits less than Rush? Nothing?



What specific comments of Rush's are you talking about?


Links?
 
i cant believe anyone voted for anyone but Limbaugh as the biggest racist. Jackson, Sharpton, and least of all Obama are not racists in any way. Ya Jackson and Sharpton can be dickish but there not racist. Infact this "reverse racism" bull**** is really unbelievable.




No links as to why you think this?


Why are there no links or even examples as to why you think the way you do?
 
Could you post a racist comment by Rush in context? I agree in that I have yet to see one person calling him "racist" post anything at all.

So you are saying Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are racist as well? I mean they are 2 of the biggest race baiter's around, wouldn't you say? I mean Al Sharpton calls the white man our "mortal enemy" based purely on race. I have not seen anything from Rush like that.

The saddest part of this whole thing is most of you calling Rush a racist are doing it on hearsay, or just plain partisan bull****. Really sad people.




exactly. My idea for this thread was to get links and quotes to each of these individuals "racism". sadly, that challenge was not met. ;)

Link to where Rush said this, He denies he ever said it, and no one has proven otherwise.



also you forgot:



Obama- on responding to his grandmothers "racism"

""The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity, but that she is a typical white person. If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know (pause) there's a reaction in her that doesn't go away and it comes out in the wrong way."

are you sure? Sharptons's pretty heffty, and rush has lost a ton of weight.

Sharpton's actually skinny now. They've both lost a ton of weight.

Which makes me wonder if society has started on chemotherapy in order to shrink these human tumors. :2razz:

Seriously though, considering the weight loss of both of them, Jesse wins hands down as biggest racist. He's a pretty big dude naturally, and he's like 6'3".

I think you should put up the actual quote, Rev. Not the innacurate one that get's repeated over and over again.

The actual quote is "Well, you know, she was extremely proud and the point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person who, you know, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know, there is a reaction that has been bred into our experiences that don’t go away and sometimes come out in the wrong way. And that's just the nature of race in our society. We have to break through it and what makes me optimistic is you see each generation feeling a little bit less like that."

When looked at without adding extra meaning to the words "Typical white person" it's not racist at all. It's just an accurate observation. It would be true of Typical black people as well.

And, to be perfectly honest, since Limbaugh holds Obama to a standard that he basically invents racism in this statement based solely on the words "typical white person", he has set a standard where ALL of his comments about other races deserve to be looked at with a fine tooth comb, as he has scrutinized Obama's with.

If he can find racism in using the words "Typical white person, then SURELY he must have realized that saying ALL composite pictures of wanted criminals look like Jesse Jackson would be seen as racist.

And surely he must have realized that saying "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." was racist. Well since he has stated he felt guilty about saying it way back in the day, he surely realized it was racist.

But I don't think Rush is really a racist. I think Rush is a hypocrite, that's for sure, but not a racist.

I also think he deserves to be raked over the coals for the racially insensitive comments he makes because he is so fond of raking otehrs over the coals for theirs. Fair's fair.

Vote accordingly, then back up your vote with quotes and links.....

I voted Sharpton and Jackson. These people are race parasites who feed off the color of their own for financial gain and notoriety. Its like fart "he who smelt it dealt it".Usually the person running around saying he he smells fart and proceeds to ask who farted is usually the one who actually did fart. As for Obama I say maybe, he did after all go to a racist anti-American church for 20 plus years.

You know, you are the 1st person who has ever articulated an intelligent rebuttle to my claim and I have been asking liberals for ever to explain the context.


I disagree though. I don't think its accurate.


If it was, he would never had said "typical of white people". that there to me made it a racial statement
 
Jesse referred to Jews as, "hymies", in a 1984 interview and Al referred to Jews as, "diamond merchants", which resulted in a riot and the stabbing death of a young Jewish man. Make no mistake, they're big time racists.

This poll so far is split right down political lines, which in my opinion is so very, very sad.

I don't think most of you would know a real racist if he/she bit you in the ass.

You take a few out of context statements or overblown statements and yell racist. Hell, most of us at one time or another have made what could be construed as a racist statement even in jest.

President Obama is no more a racist than Rush Limbaugh. Neither of them think they are superior because of race, although both may be snobs. Bigotry maybe, full blown racism? PLEASE, not even close.

Al Sharpton on the other hand truly believes the white man is our mortal enemy based on race. That my friends is racism.

Jessie Jackson is allot of things, but a real racist is not one of them. Opportunist, bigot, race baiter? All of the above.

Dig deeper people. Dig past your partisan bull****.

It was definitely a racial statement, since the context was about racial relationships and specifically how people often have preconceptions of strangers that are outside of their own race. I believe that to be true. Most people do have some degree of preconceptions about people who are of a different race.

I don't think it was racist, though. He wasn't saying anything bad about white people, nor was he placing blacks at a higher level than whites.

All Obama was guilty of there was being racially insensitive. And, to be honest, that's pretty much all Rush is guilty of with his comments as well.

I could drone on and on about how I believe looking at these racially insensitive comments in a non-judgmental way would be a boon to actually gaining full understanding of the various racial perspectives and how we can relieve a good deal of the racial tensions that still exist today by analyzing them objectively and addressing the ways that they are perceived by various people, but that would be a lot more work than I want to do right now.
 
Rush isn't a racist. He's partisan.

Sharpton and Jackson don't care about your politics. they care about your race or that you must specifically belief their race is undermined and is entitled to perks above and beyond any other specific race. They are the epitome of racism and are, along with the NAACP, one of the driving factors racism is not allowed to be a thing of the past. Is racism didn't exist they would lose their income.
