The ripple effects of slavery are still observable in black America, white people don't like to hear this, it's called white guilt, and instead of addressing it, (some) white people choose to become indignant. Having irrational fear of individuals that don't look like you is perfectly natural, reacting rationally is perfectly human. We should all try to focus on being better humans, and stop entrenching ourselves in our pre-conceived ideologies.
Beyond any of these signs, what really makes me certain that there is a racial element to the Tea Parties is the number of conspiracy theories they spread. To believe in such conspiracy theories is to demonstrate a lack of basic fact-checking and common sense, and indicates that hatred has overwhelmed rational thought. Whether that hatred is partisan or racial in nature depends on the individual.
@applejelly2 I never said you lack decency, it would be stupid for me to make claims like that (though you have). I simply pointed out what type of government we have since you asked and obviously didn't know. I argued that it's wrong to say hateful things no matter who they are directed to. I don't believe for a second that people call you "cracker" or "boy" all the time. I feel sorry for you because your logic is flawed, your arguments are immature, and you seem very unhappy.
@applejelly2 The reason I answered "we are a federal constitutional republic" is because you said "I got a good example for ya @cdfox85, can you tell me what form of government we have here in the US? Are we or are we not a Democracy?"
@MrTSH3468 I'm well aware that we are a Constitutional Republic, the problem is, most think we're a Democracy. I was asking the question, to @cdfox85, in a way that that I hoped would get an "off the top of @cdfox85's head" answer. I didn't want him to go look it up on wiki, I wanted him to answer the question as he knew it. If I'd worded it as, hey do you think we're a democracy, then he would have probably went hunting for the answer, instead of giving a straight one, does that make sense?
Oh My Lord!...you have got to be kidding me!....I saw perhaps ONE sign that could be deemed offensive.....could be....but hell, all the others have equal counterparts in all the leftist protests and the like....oh wait havent seen an Obama burning in effigy yet......man NAACP is really grasping at straws on this one.
The racists are the ones who dig through pictures of harmless signs in order to paint a picture of racism where there is none!!! The racists are the ones who set up a website purely for the purpose of creating diversity among American's, so the establishment can create themselves an army who will combat the patriots. The NAACP is the true culprit of racial division in this country & when SHTF you can bet they'll be rallying their ilk to string up the white folk, they'd better come prepared!!!!!!
@cdfox85 The only sign I seen that can even be slightly construed as racist is the one of Obama in tribal wear, everything else was just funny or absolutely true. You think it's appropriate for the blacks in this country to ride the ass of the whites & look for racist sentiment in everything the white man does? THAT'S "Racism" by it's very definition!!! Why don't you point out all the racist signs for me & enlighten me on what you're seeing here? I'll be waiting??
@cdfox85 Just like a good 'ol jar-head puppet, can't get your government issued conscience out of the left/right trap can ya? I don't watch FOX, Glenn Beck, I don't flock after McCain or Palin, I'm not a Republican & I'm certainly not anything you can come to terms with from where you are. Sad part is, I get the same drivel from the right- leaners. When someone does not live in the makeshift reality you are subject to, you immediately label them to keep any kind of confusion from flowing in.
@cdfox85 Have you noticed that EVERY SINGLE PERSON who has opposed Obama so far has been labeled a racist? I'll bet you WON'T think critically enough to ask yourself why that is or even if there's a motive behind it? How about these constitutionalists' critical of the gov's disregard for the constitution? You know them as the "anti-gov extremists". A constitutionalist can not be anti-gov, because they support the constitution.... which establishes our government. You're being played, not me!!!
I oppose a lot of Obama's policies. I have not been labeled a racist. I know plenty of folks that oppose his policies that aren't labeled racists. That's a ridiculous notion; it is a straw man trumped up by the media. What disregard for the Constitution? What specifically?
@cdfox85 What disregard for the constitution? Are you serious dude? He has spent & spent without having it to spend. He has taken over huge portions of the private sector. He has declare the "Authority" to execute without due process. OBAMACARE! He has treasonously turn several US states over for "Human rights violation" to the UN's human rights council. The council of governors. He reissued the patriot act. The list literally goes on & on & on. These are not acceptable acts from a US President.
Spending without having it to spend...hmmm....that makes him different from any other POTUS in the passed two decades how exactly? He has not taken over ANY portion of the private sector. Not a single one. BUSH brokered the buy-out of GM's stock in order to save the company, not Obama, and his administration certainly isn't running the company now. Obamacare will deliver tens of millions of new customers to PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES, subsidized by tax payers.
He did not "turn over" any states to the UN Human Rights council. Nice spin, but that's bullshit. His renewal of portions of the PATRIOT act is definitely something with which I take issue, but you'll have to do better than that to argue that he's somehow showing disregard for the Constitution. If the list "goes on and on" then by all means enlighten me.
@applejelly2 & don't give me back the tired & lazy argument that Bush did these things to, because it wasn't OK when he did these types of things either!
I got a good example for ya @cdfox85, can you tell me what form of government we have here in the US? Are we or are we not a Democracy?
@applejelly2 Here are a few you may have missed "Obama is a destructive unpatriotic black muslim" "Obama's plan- white slavery" "Obama-nomics, monkey see, monkey spend!" "The zoo has an African lion and the white house has a lyin African" "Obama, what you talkin about Willis?" "Don't tax me Bro!" "Cap congress and trade Obama back to Kenya" not to mention the Confederate flag, threats of weapons, or other signs like the one with the word "Niggar" that are hard to decipher given the bad grammar
@MrTSH3468 Right & when these types of things were said about Bush, it was just plain old discontent? Racism is alive on both sides of the isle & it's hardly Americas gravest issue at this point, but the libtards will sure play it out as if it were & the right wingers will always be obliged to play off the ridiculous notions that the progressive throw out. This country needs to get back to a strict constitutional platform & neither side is willing to let go of the government to get this done.
@applejelly2 So your argument goes that because people said hateful things about Bush it's okay to say racist things about Obama? You're right about racism not being the BIGGEST problem (the economy Bush built is) but that doesn't mean we should tolerate it. And by the way, the US is a federal constitutional republic, not a democracy.
@MrTSH3468 No my argument is people said "hateful" things about Bush & now like wise say "Hateful" things about Obama. Bush was portrayed as a monkey, joker, white devil, muslime hating racist Christian, Hitler, a Klan's-man, you name it, he took it. Was anyone screaming racism back then? Racism is a 1 sided tool being used by the media in order to keep division & to give the stigma that minorities are victims. TPTB need some excuse other than government induced social slavery for their plight.
@applejelly2 Decent people complained when things like that were said about Bush and decent people should complain when they are said about Obama. You defended the signs saying only one was racist and the rest were just funny or "true" and that's why I gave you the list of others. You then said, "Right, and when these things were said about Bush..."
The signs are racist and wrong. You should have the guts to say it. If something is wrong in principle one should never defend it.
@MrTSH3468 Many of the signs were childish & wrong but what you & so many have been taught is "Racism" is what's at question. Racism is the belief that your race is superior to that of another or believing you are entitled to more than another, so with that said, who are the racists here? Does any specially protected group or race come to mind? Some of those signs may have been prejudice or even slightly bigoted, but racist, no. The confederate flag is not racist either, read up on your history.
Exactly. A photoshoped image of obama on Mr T's body.........hows that racist?
A swastika saying that obama administration is like nazi's? It wasn't racist when they did it to bush.
1 or 2 of them did day nigger..........but......given this video and the NAACP's tendency to label anything and everything "racist". I really wouldn't put it past them to plant, take photos from non tea partys or photo shop things on signs......o wait. They have.
@MrTSH3468 People throw racism into the mix when logic eludes them & it's getting old. Minorities in this country don't demand equality as their grandfolks did, they demand special entitlements & that whites walk on glass around them? They also work towards demolishing the culture in this country, because it's "White mans culture" & people are getting fed up with it. When I see a "Minority" holding a sign of Bush in a klan suit, I don't think racism because I refuse to play victim, get it?
How is 1:08 offensive? Aren't we all stimulus slaves because we are now on the hook for another trillion dollars. 1:23 is certainly not offensive, he bowed to Saudi Royal Family and accepting a gold medallion.
Some of these aren't offensive. The Obamafacism sign with the swastika in particular. I went to anti Bush rallies and Bush's face was often grouped with the swastika.
i know anti-Iraq War, anti-Afghanistan War, anti-Bush, anti-Israel, marches and protests never had any over the line posters.......
