How come Jessie Jackson and Rev Al Sharpton are silenced on remarks on rice & thomas?

[ravensteve1961]

If republicans used remarks on maxine waters,Rosa Parks Or sheila lee jackson. Oh yeah jessie jackson and rev al sharpton would go straght to the press and compaln on republicans remarks. Now i think those democrats who used racial remarks against clarence thomas and condoleezza rice should resign! Remember trent lott used racial remark on strom thumonds 100th bithday on if strom thumond was president of the united states we wouldnt having ethic problems today. Because of that remark Lott lost his job as senate majority leader. Now democrats who used racial comments towards colin powell,clarence thomas and condoleezza rice should resign now!

 

[Vance]

If you believe in what you said, at least 70% of republicans should resign because of their racism remarks toward black people! Good try for blaming on democrats when you didn't blame on these 70% republicans :roll: you are SO typical.

Next time, think before you can say anything.

 

[ravensteve1961]

So its ok for liberals to be racist and conservitive cant huh??

 

[Vance]

What do you think? Do you think that I would lower my level to make the remarks toward any colored people or women? Use the common sense. Liberals are known for treating anyone as equal (after all Liberal President Lincoln freed the black people from slavery).

If liberal (which is very rare) go far and make a remark toward colored people, I will personally whack him/her for it. I promise you. It is morally wrong. Period.

 

[ravensteve1961]

Well why not whack senator Harry Reid? Make him withdraw his nomination to be the as senate minority leader. He started with racial remarks. Remember trent lott lost is job over it? Now why not he withdraw his nomination. I got proof on his racial remarks here ---> Harry reid is a racist!

... Liberals are known for treating anyone as equal.

Except for Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Armstrong Williams, Walter Williams, Ken Hamblin, and other conservative blacks.

Well, get whacking because liberals have been making remarks against conservative blacks.

p.s.
I am surprised that a liberal such as yourself uses the term "colored".

They are anti-freedom people, what do you expect? Conservative is by nature anti-freedom, anti-women rights, anti-people, etc etc etc..

Well, get whacking because liberals have been making remarks against conservative blacks.

Well, I want you to whack 70% percent of republicans who made the remarks toward people, women, etc etc.. first. Once you did, I will do it. Get busy, 70% is lot, go on and get busy. Plenty numbers for you to whack, must be fun eh? Nearly 100% of you people went against Jesus's teaching of EQUALITY that you kept failed to practice what he preached. Maybe I should whack all of these people for you?

p.s.
I am surprised that a liberal such as yourself uses the term "colored".

I am talking about any people like mexicans, blacks, chinese, jews, list is limitless so I used that term for a whole of people. Unlikely you or raven, I treat people as equal. That is one small-big difference between you and me & raven. I am surprised that a conservative christian woman such as yourself dare to vote against women's rights and imposed your delusional beliefs on other people. Don't dare to use that against me when you have that issue in first place.

Now who's racists really? You figure it out pal.

At least, I didn't vote to ban the certain education, ban homosexuals from teaching at schools, etc etc... That is far worse. Think about it.

That's what I mean, that's why liberals voted against these conservatives... simply because they are plainly anti-freedom, anti-human rights, list is limitless. Not because they are blacks. You are just using that lame excuse... I would think you know better than that but seem that I am wrong.

Edit: Good try, Reba. You have absolutely no leverage to use against me when you did these while I did not. Keep that in your mind.

 

[Vance]

Reba, I don't know why you still fail to understand why liberals voted against these conservatives... not because they are blacks. You people kept using that excuse but fortunately that black people know better (Thank God). Why we are voting against them simply because they are AGAINST WOMEN'S RIGHTS and HUMAN'S RIGHTS. I hope I get my post across in this topic...

If it is wrong to use 'colored' people then I apologize and will correct the term. I am all for equality unlikely certain party. Ok, I am done with this topic.

Edit: At least I apologized for the term... how many do you think conservatives or religious right ever apologize for what they said to others? Practically zero.

Im for life!! Arent you glad that your mother didnt abort you magatsu? You were born a tiny baby said your cute baby words sucking your thumb. Now thats cute looking at that NOT A DEAD FETUS! Thats what im for. Im not for MURDER! And Abortion is MURDER!
Liberals would allow women kill their own babies. But wont allow us to kill a convicted brutal killer to die in the electric chair.

Magatsu,

I was just going by what you said. You said, "If liberal (which is very rare) go far and make a remark toward colored people, I will personally whack him/her for it. I promise you. It is morally wrong. Period." Didn't you mean what you said?

Conservative is by nature anti-freedom, anti-women rights, anti-people, etc etc etc..

That sounds like a judgmental stereotype. Didn't your philosophy professor teach you not to make generalities about people?

Well, I want you to whack 70% percent of republicans who made the remarks toward people, women, etc etc.. first. Once you did, I will do it.

Why? I never said that I would whack anyone. That was your idea.

Get busy, 70% is lot, go on and get busy.

Where did you get such a ridiculous figure?

Nearly 100% of you people....

Sigh, there you go stereotyping again. And using that term "you people" again.

I am talking about any people like mexicans, blacks, chinese, jews, list is limitless so I used that term for a whole of people.

What are you saying? That sounds racist to me.

Unlikely you or raven, I treat people as equal. That is one small-big difference between you and me & raven.

Excuse me, how do you know how I treat people? You have no clue. And why are you mentioning raven? I thought this discussion was between you and me.

I am surprised that a conservative christian woman such as yourself dare to vote against women's rights...

What makes you think I voted against women's rights?

Don't dare to use that against me when you have that issue in first place.

Now I really don't know what you are talking about. I am not using anything "against" you.

That's what I mean, that's why liberals voted against these conservatives...

We weren't discussing about voting against them. We were discussing racist remarks. "Liberals" called Colin Powell "Uncle Tom", and called Condi Rice "Aunt Jemima". That's the kind of thing I find disgusting.

...simply because they are plainly anti-freedom, anti-human rights...

Only in your opinion, not in actuality.

Good try, Reba. You have absolutely no leverage to use against me ...

I am not trying to leverage anything "against" you. Don't take everything so personally.

Magatsu,

This is hardly an unbiased report you linked. After all, they are Marxists.

Yeah he did so do other people in the old days, but that has changed over the years - big time! It's pretty safe to refer them as African-Americans/black.

I used to refer them as coloreds until several black friends told me it is an insult term to the black community though some black people don't see anything wrong with being referred as colored.

I remember when I was about 11 years old (1962), my grandmother told me that only low-class people used the term "colored", and of course we never, never used the "n*****" word. She said that we should use the polite word "Negro". That was the most accepted term until later in the 60's when "Afro-American" and "Black is beautiful" became popular.

I love that because I agree with republicans, I would be considered a racist. Show some examples of the above mentioned folks being racist. With the alledged 70% being racists, you should have no problem finding quotes and examples of them being racist, right? Just a few examples is all I'm asking for.

I love how democrats will call the republicans racists, but from my vantage point, the democrats are doing more harm to the black community and other minorities.
In our city, we have several 'project' neighborhoods. Most of the residents in these neighborhoods are black. In fact, I only know of 3 non-black families that live in these neighborhoods (2 families are white and the third is Hispanic). The democrats will tell the people in these neighborhoods that the republicans are racists and are the cause that they are stuck living in poverty. They will also tell them that the republicans are trying to take away their housing.

They tell the residents of these neighborhoods that they are entitled to free rent, free healthcare, free food, free heat, etc.
How does it do the community any good to tell that to them. It also offers no hope for them to get out of those neighborhoods and get a house and raise a family in a decent neighborhood. If they were to actually go out and get a decent paying job, they risk losing all of that. So, instead of getting a paying job, many obtain additional money through illegal means, such as theft and selling drugs. We have a lot of local companies that are hiring and are desperate to get new employees..and these businesses are within a 5 minute walk from these projects. Will the people go down the street and try to get a job? No they won't. They won't do it because they will lose out on all the freebies that the democrats have convinced them they have a right to.

From my viewpoint, it is racist to force people to live in these conditions, and worse yet, to convince them that is where they should be.

Looking at how the powers-that-be have voted, it is the republicans that are trying to get them off of welfare and able to stand on their own two feet. It is the republicans that pass the tough crime bills to get the streets cleaned up. It is the republicans giving them hope..to get an education, get a decent job and move your family to a decent neighborhood where shootings and robberies happen on a regular basis.

I only mention all of the above because the topic of racism came up. Because you don't call somebody a name doesn't make your actions racist. To me racism is a lot more than just a name, but forcing people to live a particular lifestyle. The democrats here won't call them a name, but they will do everything they can to keep them at the bottom of the barrel and kill any hope they have of climbing out.

Oh? So you are approving that republicans suppressed on black voters? Great! With your approval, we, people can follow your example by suppressing on black voters. That will be sweet idea. If republicans called democrats, 'racists' and you approved it? But if democrat called republicans 'racist' then you will call us the names, blah blah blah blah blah and BLAH. It is ok for you people but not for us. Oh ok, I get the message.

It is the republicans giving them hope..to get an education, get a decent job and move your family to a decent neighborhood where shootings and robberies happen on a regular basis.

Can I laugh at that? Actually, republicans are the one who took the education money away and spend on somewhere. What about war costs? Hello?

It is no wonder why Sweden is getting better and better in economy and everything else because they realize the potential problem in their country and put the restrict on it. Know what it is? 'Right' people.

Funny thing is.. from my and many people's vantage point, republicans actually discourage black people from voting, taking the jobs, etc etc ... while democrats actually give them the opportunity to vote, to have a job, to have the education, etc etc.. I guess you obviously did not read my link about republicans and their suppression on black voters. *shrugs* When come to truth, republicans tend to stay clear of it. I guess.

I love the way republicans blame on democrats while the source of problems is actually from them. That's exactly what PM in Sweden said:

"Did you notice that Conservatives don't have arguments--just rants, whines and point their fingers at others?" -- Göran Persson, Swedish Prime Minister

Well, I guess that it is ok for people to suppress on black voters. That is actually unfortunate. I gotta love you people for being so good at blame games.

Edit:

The democrats here won't call them a name, but they will do everything they can to keep them at the bottom of the barrel and kill any hope they have of climbing out.

It is odd because it was republicans who did. Not democrats. Republicans love to kill anyone's hopes. You provide rather poor points in that case. I am quite disappoint with your post. I would expect any better from you but I guess it will not. (thus proved my point that republican would kill my hope for people)

Like what I said above, republicans simply love to blame on others but themselves. Good thing is that Sweden is always there for me to move in if republicans finally got their plans by getting the americans to kill each other.

Sayonara.

 

[ravensteve1961]

The question is, Why is it ok to make republicans resign like democrats made trent lott to resign because his racial comments in strom thumonds birthday dinner speech, but its not ok for republicans to make senator harry reid withdraw his nomination because his racial remarks towards clarance thomas?.

 

[Vance]

From now, I am going to take VamPyroX's example as to not argue with anyone. Get in and share my opinion then back out.

I definitely have to remember one of my professor's statement: "It is always, always pointless to debate with conservatives or extremely right-republicans because they don't know what they are talking about in first place. Every time you are arguing with them, you lose a piece of your soul. Stay clear of them as often as you can. That is the rule of thumb." That's good advice.

The key is: Equality. That's where republicans & conservatives tend to fail to understand what it means. In any case, have a nice night and week.

If republicans called democrats, 'racists' and you approved it? But if democrat called republicans 'racist' then you will call us the names, blah blah blah blah blah and BLAH. It is ok for you people but not for us. Oh ok, I get the message.

Where did any of 'us people' tell you that democrats could not call a republican racist, and where did I call you any names (and blah, blah blah). If you feel that republicans are racists, then you have a right to feel that way. I asked for examples to back up where 70% of the republicans were racist, and I said with that many racists running around, it shouldn't be difficult to find.

As for your article, I did read it and I find a lot of it a bunch of bunk. I guess my problem is that I make decisions based on what I have seen (more on that in a moment) and not what I've seen on politically biased websites. For example, I too can post articles that say just the opposite of what you have posted...after all, if its on the net, it must be true, right?

I only post them to show that there are just as many articles arguing against your statements. When you have time, look up some of Malcom X's speeches and what is opinions were about this very same issue.

Anyhow, I mentioned I based on what I have seen with my own eyes and driving the streets. If you are ever in maryland, I'll be more than happy to drive you around so you can see it with your own eyes.


The county I lived in voted for George Bush 133,231 to Kerry's 103,324 There has been nothing that says anything about any votes being suppressed. There are similar numbers with the other counties in my state, yet I cannot locate one single article about voter fraud and the suppression of votes. The only thing I can find about such a thing is the 2000 election and the suppression of those serving in the military serving overseas. As I recall, many of those votes were actually for George W Bush and it was the democrats fighting to say that those votes don't count.
Hmmm, how could that be. The democrats wouldn't dare take away anyones vote, would they? Of course not.
