Having a productive dialogue about race would require white people to acknowledge their own (conscious and subconscious) racial privilege and prejudice. This is why most white people will hold themselves back from having this conversation or acknowledging that it needs to be had. We know we live in a racist society, and we know that we ourselves perpetuate racial oppression. Guilt is interfering with our ability to confront the problem -- ourselves. Lou and everyone else needs to sober up.
When you take different races of the same socioeconomic status, they perform the same in education, have the same graduation rates, professional job rates. The problem is reigning in all to a similar socioeconomic status, making the low class nothing lower than a lower middle or however people see fit. The problem isn't race anymore, its the practices left in place from an age where race was a problem. The policies will keep people down and such.
@hailourvictory Thanks for your comments and concern. You may be interested to know that we recommend, for the good of the gene pool, that you castrate yourself as soon as humanly possible. Do it now, before you forget. If you can't accomplish the objective on your own, I would be happy to recommend a group of young gentlemen that would be delighted to assist you. Have a nice day.
"Cotton Picking" is absolutely an ethnic slur. It's a pejorative that alludes to people that were considered sub-human. Yep, "them thar cotton pickin' slaves." It's obvious that he resents that a "cotton picking" woman would say that slavery was the US' racial "birth defect." He also resents that people can't just "call a spade a spade," and that the "n" word is something he's not allowed to say. Bravo CNN - for firing the racist jerk!
Lou doesn't like Bush, but for some reason he gets onto the case more of the conservative minorities that worked for him, like Rice and Gonzales, more than the conservative whites that worked for him, like Cheney and Rumsfeld.
@WLegacy30- It's really quite simple. Race, sex, age, socioeconomic status, religion, politics, and even geographic location are used to keep the masses fighting with each other. It has very little to do with baggy pants, ebonics, and bling; nor does it have anything to do with confederate flags, trailer parks, and the occasional reference to cotton picking. White people are sick of being blamed for every evil in the world. Get it now?
No surprise. I wish white people, especially in America, can explain to me why in the hell do you go apeshit if a black person even remotely bring up race or give their perspective on race for a brief moment? Is it because you think "we" had the Civil Rights moment, then blacks should shut up? Or because some black comedian talks about race, that it's "unfair," or a double standard? I mean, whites go into the most bizarre world of race ranting that it's beyond me. It's just fucking crazy.
Clearly he has never heard of Canada with it's equally diverse population, in Canada we do not need to talk about race because it is not an issue, we do not focus on it. Also, Canada beats the US as the most progressive. All people have the same rights including homosexuals and people of different ethnic back grounds. There is only one race, the Human Race.
@kingjonnyboy117 LOL No, Canada is not NEARLY as diverse as the US. And don't show me stats for Vancouver or Toronto or a coupole of major cities. Fact is taht the US is MUCH more diverse than haters give it credit for. Canada isn't even close.
@kingjonnyboy117 BTW there are multiple races. You are confusing the "SPECIES" with "RACE". There is one SPECIES of human. The difinition of race itself is divsions within the species. It is the same as the term we use for animals: "breed"
The term race inherently refers to divisions witihin the human species, so there must be more than one race, or the term race itself is pointless. Doesn't mean we are different creatures, just that years of breeding habits have created certain differences.
for me its just pain simple, the race that doesnt has at least one idiot / asshole in their ranks is the best and should rule ,since there isnt none ,thats makes us all equal,period
props to lou, im a liberal yet I feel that I would have a sensible and compromising debate with Mr. Dobbs. He's right too we are a diverse nation, that's our secret weapon.
The mind of a hater is very complex. The hater would intentionally watch this video and negatively comment in order to satisfy his/her appetite for hate. The hater would go great distances and lengths to attempt to humiliate or discredit their target. Hate is truly a mental illness and can be contagious. Good news is this disorder can be treated. I encourage those who suffer from this life threatening disorder to seek help Immediately. To live a life with such hate is truly pitiful.
@sharafudin2 It is the people who put the video up who are claiming to know what Dobbs meant and twisting his words. it is a common expression that is NOT racist. So to say Dobbs suddenly turned it racist is making a big leap of faith. it is also PROVING the point he is making.
@tobiasrobbins72 What?Dude,check this out.Black ppl don't give a fuck about Lou Dobbs or him sayin "cotton pickin".Its WHITE PEOPLE who are tryin to make him out to be racist for sayin that.Not us.We dont give a shit.BUT,that doesn't mean that Rice is wrong.Racism is our birth defect.We're about 500 years old & we just got rid of segregation 45 years ago,in 1965.There's still plenty of ppl alive today that were grown by then.My grandma's 91.The average politician is 65.He grew up on Jim Crow.
LOU DOOB =;LIE HE WAS ABOUT TO SAY COTTON.AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD AMERICA AND THE PEOPLE ARE ABOUT RACE AND RELIGION.HYPOCRISY RUNS THROW HIS BLOOD.
@sharafudin2 LOL "Cotton Pickin" is not a racist term and you obviously didn't listen to what he was saying. he's saying we COULD talk abotu race but can't do so honestlybecause of people who twist everything someone says if they don't say exactly what that person wants ot hear. So giving him grief for stopping short of saying "cotton pickin" as a superlative is actually making his point for him.
@tobiasrobbins72 what is twisting about say is he out of his cotton picking mind.don,t blame the victim.i am not mad because i know only mindless people call people names people with open mind set face to face and talk about really stuff.
@sharafudin2 LOL ?? Look at your post again. Your reply makes no sense.
The people who act like "cotton pickin" is a racist term are twisting his words. plain and simple. He's NOt being a hypocrite like you claimed. his reluctance to say "cotton pickin" and the criticism of it by you and others proves his point.
@tobiasrobbins72 LOL your as funny as him both of you are twisting things he say racist stuff and you telling me that is not what he mean are you in his heart? i am not so i take his word for it and his word is racist if not why didn't he finish what he say he knew it was racist that is why stop what he was about to say cotton and change his word again.and that is not away to talk about race not will calling someone cotton picking mind.i don,t really care if you agree with or not.
@sharafudin2 Dude, you can't even right. And YOU are being the hater. i was telling you to QUIT hating. If you can't read or write English, maybe this discussion is too much for you?
"Cotton picking" is just a phrase. Lou knew that people would just twist his words around. Look at what happened even when he stopped himself from saying it.
Tha fact that Lou stopped himself from saying it may actually be an indicator of how racially sensitive he is, not racist.
@ReadmanJ It doesn't just refer to slaves? Are you under the false impression that slaves were the only people picking cotton? that is patently false. The saying is common throughout the South where people picked cotton. Black and white alike.
@ReadmanJ They had a hell of a lot more white sharecroppers & laborers, too. Some were even slaves. Slave owners were less than 5% of the population. They black plantation owners & overseers, too. But there were MANY white laborers picking cotton. I come from a line of them, in fact. And the ONLY times I have ever heard the term "cotton pickin" used racially is when someone is trying to convince others that the term is racist (even though it's never actually used that way).
I would like to finish Mr. Dobbs sentence for him *clears throat*
"And not a single on of these cotton picking niggers like condoleezza rice... I mean, what type of name is condoleezza any fucking way? Niggers and their crazy baby names, I mean, what happened to the good ole days when people would name there children good ole names like sally.... or lou... Im so mad i just shit myself tell one of the CNN Interns to come change my diaper" - Lou Dobbbs
@Rollinglulz That's not what he was going to say. (and you know it)
"cotton....... ridiculous politicians" He cut himself short of saying "cotton picking" because of people like you. It's a sad day when we have to police ourselves even with everyday terms because it may not be politically correct. And the "offended" will come out of the woodwork to complain.
@Rollinglulz What ridiculous racist nonsense. Why on EARTH would he say something like that? Expecially when the NON-RACIST term "cotton picking (you added "niggers", Lou has NEVER said that on TV) is frequently used by him and he STOPPED it because of ignorant people like you (whihc is who he's complaingin about in this piece in the first place).
@Rollinglulz LOL If I have typos on Youtube, so be it. I have an MA in History though and don't feel like going back to school anytime soon. i'll continue to educate myself though, thanks.
But YOU are the one who posted uneducated garbage and racial slurs that no one in this video made, so why try to turn things on me rather than addressing the BS you wrote, which I was replying to?
@jay7a2j Exactly. Not inly is the phrase not racist, but he cut himself off before saying it because he knows how sensitive people are about race (hell, it's THE TOPIC of what he's talking about here!)
People labeling him racist for this are merely reinforcing what he's saying. And most don't even realize it.
@tobiasrobbins72 Then its your ignorance that's preventing you from seeing it. You obviously aren't aware enough to speak on the subject. You should probably cease doing so as it's not a good idea to speak on subjects you know nothing or little about.
@nyital571 LOL No YOU are the one who is too ignornat to speak on it. I grew up with blacks & whites alike that use the term.Read these responses and see how many black people have no problem withthe term. i bet you don't even hear the term where you are from, but just assume to know what it means because you didn't grow up around cotton picking. MOre whites picked cotton in US history, BTW,
But you twist things and talk about calling people "cotton picker" which is NOT what Dobbs is doing.
LEMON: Yes. And, you know, you said the last thing, that the Obama administration is scared of white people. I've heard that a lot. I've heard it on radio. I've heard people say it. I've written about it. And so many times perception is reality, Mark. So we'll see what happens with that. Thank you both. [CNN July 24, 2010]
@njguitarnewbjk Why do you say Lou Dobbs is racist? What makes him racist? Where are your facts to back up what you said? You're adding to discord between people by making accusations like that, so let's see your support for that statement. Also, why do you say he can't control himself? What did he do that is out of control? Again, let's see the facts to support your position.
I feel bad for him, but it's the fact that cotton picking has a negative connotation that makes it obviously racist. I mean, it's an insult, and why would it be a southern tradition to use cotton picking as an insult?
He is racist. However this comment was not racist. I come from the south and this is a normal expression down here. It is not meant in a racist way. That said, he is a racist for the dozens of other things he has said
@dominicpodom Just because it is not meant in a racist way does not mean it is not a racist phrase. It's a phrase that is racist that people continue to use whether or not they understand its connotation.
My English/Irish Grandfather picked cotton with his parents in the 30's during the depression because they were to proud to take assistance. Cotton Picking is hard work not a race.
he's so clearly a racist. i can't believe cnn ever hired him. i just hope when he runs for president in 2012 (and he will), people ask to see his birth certificate.
This ARIZONA law borned dead because the States can't do FEDERAL LAWS and the POLICE can't do tasks of ICE (INS) agents. The rest is only WORDINESS,verbosity, and a politic gain attemp of the Arizona Governor with last name of beer: Jan Brewer. No more. " low " doobs is only a promoter of hate in AMERICA and he booted from CNN.
This is quite a shock to many Mexican immigrants who have learned to dislike Dobbs because of his constant hate-mongering against what he calls criminal illegal aliens. He recently insinuated that America has the capability of rounding up all undocumented Mexicans and deporting them. Dobbs has become the "hero" of anti-Mexican xenophobes around the country. The IRONY of the LIFE is her WIFE is a MEXICAN woman with two daugthers Mexican-American.
Hahahahaha Just makes me laugh. sure Dobbs lives in a different country than the US. Why it is that as a foreigner that lived in the US for some years, I had white friends that usually said 'racism is part of the past' and friends belonging to minorities who said there are lots of racist people in the US? What's going on then?
Wolfe Blitzer said he was going to "pick" Lou Dobb's brain. I suppose Wolfe is racist too because he used the word "pick". Expressions like "pick your brain", "cotton picking", "pick a fight" and the like are all expressions that have nothing to do with race. These people who are looking to brand someone a racist for using a harmless espression are "nit pickers".
@muzapstar EXACTLY. At least someone actually listened to waht he said instead of looking for racial crap that isn't there (which was his point in the first place).
Nah, he was going to say "those cotton picking politicians" I know this because it is a favorite expression of his and is common for his generation. He stopped himself because he has used that saying before , been taken literally, and gotten in trouble - like he is here.
@spinseffing Tath is nonsense. Why on earth would he say something like taht? He was about to use the common expression "cotton picking". this race baiting crap is garbage and you are actually making Dobbs point for him, if you bothered to listen to what he was saying rather than look for imaginary examples of racism.
king yayo name says it all. we r living in a truely disguisting world, and if you dont want to be the sheep headed for the slaughter you will know tht the root of the problems today can be traced to one man alone LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO COUNT HANS KOLVENBACH THE MOST POWERFUL MAN BEHIND THE SCENES AND THE JESUIT GENERAL (OR BLACK POPE) he own the media, cia, mi6, mossad, the united nations and the list goes on and on. do the research
@ghostfase He did NOt say "cotton picker". Why the hell would he say that? He was clearly about to say "cotton picking politicians" and he knows damn well that uneducated people and people looking to infuse race into everything (which was the subject of what he was talking about if you paid attention) so he stopped and didn't even say that.
But to assume he was going to call a public figure an arcane, racial slur like "cotton picker" on national TV is ridiculous.

@jackiemickie Ha, people who find the term cotton pickin racist are socialist slaves? Do you know how many racist jokes use ' Cotton Picking' as the punch line? You are either stupid or acting deliberately clueless. I'm beginning to think you are stupid.
@jackiemickie Did you actually think these "terms" through or did they just roll off the tip of your togue. Are you looking through the eye holes of your head piece right now?

Oh come on people,Lou is a gentleman He stopped himself before he even said it.
Anyone remember Jesse Jackson berating his own people and he used a worse expletive for his own race? how about the time Jesse refered to New York as "Hymie town"? I had fun with that one my girlfriend at the time was a New York Jewish person(years ago) I aked her what Hymie meant because she has a bad temper and gets physically violent .I enjoyed wrestling with her and make up sex.afterward.
There is nothing wrong in saying "cotton pickin,'" I honestly wish he would have said it in this overly PC nation where no one can have a truly honest discussion without worrying about offending someone.
@EmpathyWorks That is total nonsense. you just made that crap up. I have heard the term "cotton picking" my entire life and NEVER as a racial epithet.
@mysterymediacorp I hope that was meant as sarcasm. If not, there are countless poor whites who come from long lines of dirt poor cotton pickers who have issue with that statement.
Louie Dobbs is a wetback lover. His wife is a spic beaner...so his preaching means jack shit! His kids and whole bloodline will all be the people he hates and rants about 24/7, like a total blind twat psycho brushing his giant ego to feed himself, like he does with food to his fatass body!

@jay7a2j Exactly. Not inly is the phrase not racist, but he cut himself off before saying it because he knows how sensitive people are about race (hell, it's THE TOPIC of what he's talking about here!)
People labeling him racist for this are merely reinforcing what he's saying. And most don't even realize it.

@nyital571 LOL No YOU are the one who is too ignornat to speak on it. I grew up with blacks & whites alike that use the term.Read these responses and see how many black people have no problem withthe term. i bet you don't even hear the term where you are from, but just assume to know what it means because you didn't grow up around cotton picking. MOre whites picked cotton in US history, BTW,
But you twist things and talk about calling people "cotton picker" which is NOT what Dobbs is doing.

This is quite a shock to many Mexican immigrants who have learned to dislike Dobbs because of his constant hate-mongering against what he calls criminal illegal aliens. He recently insinuated that America has the capability of rounding up all undocumented Mexicans and deporting them. Dobbs has become the "hero" of anti-Mexican xenophobes around the country. The IRONY of the LIFE is her WIFE is a MEXICAN woman with two daugthers Mexican-American.

Wolfe Blitzer said he was going to "pick" Lou Dobb's brain. I suppose Wolfe is racist too because he used the word "pick".

These people who are looking to brand someone a racist for using a harmless espression are "nit pickers".
