Racist And Ridiculous
Late last month, an email went out from an administrative assistant working for a Republican elected official in the legislature here in the state that was titled “Historical Keepsake Photo.”
The photo was this:
This was sent to me recently by another legislative staffer who was offended by it, as I am.
I talked to my local rep, Mark Maddox about it, and described the picture to him at a recent fund raising event. I think he was as appalled as I was. I was going to post it last week but there was a death in my family and I had to think about it.
Because it made me mad.
But, you know, people need to know that this stuff is going on. I would be just as angry if a democratic staffer had sent it.
Dammit, Tennessee, haven’t we moved past this kind of crap. I’m serious.
Leaders and their staffs need to be just that. LEADERS! And they have done a pretty suspect job this year if you ask me.
We live in a world of uncertainty and a lot of hurt. In Tennessee, it’s more important to pass dog bills than the budget. But, I guess we can find the time to send out junk, racist emails. Jeez.
Racist imagery matters.
I decided to release it because we need to think about our actions. How does this kind of behavior effect our children? It’s just ridiculous and it’s wrong.
I expect better of anyone elected to position that my tax dollars pay. I guess I give folks too much credit.
Yes I am on a soapbox and I’m not getting off of the damned thing.
Update: The email I received says the staffer is Sherri Goforth, who works for Diane Black.
UPDATED:
Christian Grantham talks to Ms. Goforth, who admits she sent the email.
When I asked her if she understood the controversial nature of the photo, Goforth would only say she felt very bad about accidentally sending it to the wrong list. When I gave her a second chance to address the controversial nature of the email, she again repeated that she only felt bad about sending it to the wrong list of people.
I sent it to the wrong list of people? Huh.

I just want to make sure I understand the pic – they’re referring to President Obama as a “spook”? Oy. They didn’t really… did they?
I just did a linking post.
Sadly, it’s not the limited domain of Tennessee GOP political operatives as witnessed by this “fine” example of Republican leadership in South Carolina
Pretty gross. Any more details though? Like who was the Republican staffer? Is there a way to enlarge this photo? Who was it sent to and why? Was there any accompanying text?
Nothing will change if folks don’t name names–right now a quick glance makes me think it’s the work of Mark Maddox, when I’m pretty sure someone else should be incurring my wrath.
“Dammit, Tennessee, haven’t we moved past this kind of crap. I’m serious.”
Oh, it’s by no means just us.
This kind of stupidity is even more prevalent in the West and North.
But this is ours and we have to claim it.
The vast majority of Tennesseans would be offended by this as is evident but the 100% condemnation we see in the comments above.
For the few vermin who subscribe to and endorse these back-assward views, well…. Fuck them and the cells they’re made of.
Sometimes confronting morons is not all that complicated.
It wasn’t Mark. He never saw the photo. We just talked about it after I described it to him and he’s been in the hospital the last few days.

If Diane Black had a shred of decency, Ms. Goforth would already be unemployed. Instead, all she’s gotten is a reprimand and an assurance that she still has a job. That’s just as disgusting as Ms. Goforth’s racism.
…and, if this email was sent from an State Senator’s Office, doesn’t this level of stupidity extend to some violation of appropriate use of state computers?
This kind of stupidity is even more prevalent in the West and North.
Whatever gets you through the night, Tennessee…
So. . . She appeared to avidly steer clear of the nature of the email and chose only to address poor ‘group list’ skills. I cannot blame her for that. Years of using MSOutlook at work have left with a collection of emails sent to the wrong party and/or parties. Other than that, however, it’s safe to call her a stone racist, right? She’s not regretful about the tone of the message, only that she expressed her endorsement of bigoted thought to the wrong email addresses.
Sherri Goforth = racist.
What’s always amazing is the insane double standard that our so called conservatives have.
If Barack Obama fails to use the most extreme possible language to describe Palestinians, he’s an anti-Semite. When a Republican staffer passes around openly racist jokes, it’s an unfortunate boo-boo.
What’s especially pathetic is that those people have the habit of chalking all this up to some kind of pathological oversensitivity that “politically correct” liberals are supposed to have. The truth is that for someone in a position of power to traffric in racist humor is unseemly, undignified, and inappropriate.
While I’m at it, everybody here hear about the Republican comparing Michelle Obama to a Gorilla today?
You can’t make this stuff up.
The [dis]Honorable Senator’s wiki page has been updated to note that she employs racist idiots (is that an oxymoron?).
In wiki-friendly fashion of course.

We don’t give a fuck what the democrat party has to say anymore, or the Supreme Court. Fuck the supreme court, their opinions mean nothing to me. They have no power over me any longer. I disown them, and this worthless Constitution. You stole our country from us and we don’t even want it back, not with you brainwashed assholes in it.
We demand a new form of government per the Declaration of Independence. I call for secession! I can’t stand you people, I want protection from you, and your hatred of White people, and Christians. And the only way to achieve such protection is to have our own nation again.

As a resident of West TN I can say that I am not at all surprised about this.

Having lived all over the country (including many other places in “the south” I am ashamed of the racism I see regularly in West TN. It is shameful.

“Thor” is a traitor, an anti-American facist, and deserves to be tried and punished for his anti-American, treasonous goals of ripping about this country and supporting another civil war. That’s the truth, but he’s not going to be. Why? Because ignorant people like “Thor” like to give themselves big powerful names and talk trash on the Internet, but secretly cower in their filthy little trailer homes at their nasty desks with stacks of old bottles and food dishes, typing vile hatred on their crud-covered keyboards while sitting around in their skid-marked boxers and wife-beater shirts with Confederate Battle Flags hanging on the wall, held up by mismatched nails. Thor won’t go into public an espouse these anti-American, fascist views in a way that allows him to actually execute his demands for his utopian racist society, he’s a coward at heart, but behind a keyboard he is the mighty THOR! Mighty at mouth, weak in mind, and as ignorant as the day is long.
Blogged it. Keep up the good work.
“Thor said on :15/Jun/2009 at 08:06″
Wow — amazing that “Thor” managed to turn this story about racism against blacks into a screed about how white Christians are so persecuted.
That’s some mighty twisted mental gymnastics, Thor. Do everyone a favor – stop taking FaceBook pictures while posing with your customized swords, and take a critical thinking course at the local CC.

ROFLMAO
I’m going to be one of those jerkoff readers who takes issue with one little thing you said that isn’t even the main point of the article. Sorry, but the “Dammit Tennessee” line really got my hackles up.
This could happen anywhere. I was unable to confirm whether or not Sherri Goforth is even from Tennessee, but regardless, the state of Tennessee & the American South do not hold the monopoly on racist idiocy and a line like that only serves to further an incorrect stereotype of what the American South is all about.
Anytime anything like this happens in a Southern state, I feel that the “Wow, they really are a bunch of racist yokels” attitude abounds, as if this kind of thing doesn’t happen in Northern states; as if one idiot could speak for the mindset of the entire state of Tennessee.
I’m sure this is not what you meant to imply, but you probably would have been better served by saying “Dammit Sherri” instead of “Dammit Tennessee.”
As a citizen of this great state– a state that I unabashedly love and always return to no matter where my travels take me– I am included in that invective, and I resent its implications that I, or a majority of the state, are not “past this kind of crap.”
As for Ms. Goforth’s childish and racist email, I’m sure she will lose her job over it, if she hasn’t already. There is really no place for anyone with that kind of attitude to serve in a legislative body, in any capacity.
Rant deserved. I was so irritated that kind of just flowed off the fingers. I just kept thinking of Hobbs and that Barack Hussein Obama thing as I wrote it that it sort of just happened.
You’re right on all counts. I love this state too and I own it.
You make me proud, yo.

These stories pop up with a simple Google search of “Racist Tennessee” with lots and lots of these e-mail stories proves that your defense of Tennessee is a bit less than genuine.
The citizens of Tennessee should feel ashamed and willing to take a long hard look at themselves. Perhaps a statewide effort force feeding these inbreds some education would open their eyes.
Hey KWFV…
“Thor won’t go into public an espouse these anti-American, fascist views in a way that allows him to actually execute his demands for his utopian racist society, he’s a coward at heart, but behind a keyboard he is the mighty THOR! Mighty at mouth, weak in mind, and as ignorant as the day is long.”
You are damn right I won’t go into public with these views…because I can’t. I would be MURDERED by my own Marxist government. Do you understand? A police officer would “say” I had committed a felony, perhaps that I stepped outside the “free speech zone”, or that I refused to obey a lawful order, like to step back inside the “free speech zone”. I would be hauled wearing chains in front of a jury, not of my peers, but of Negros, illegal Mexicans, atheists and every other variety of dumbed-down enemy of Western Civilization one can imagine our multicultural hell of a “nation” can produce.
They would find me “guilty” under “hate crimes” laws for being a “racist” and I would be sent to prison. I would lose my “right” to keep and bear arms, and be murdered in prison by a Black prison guard who hates White people and wants some payback. The video of him first tazering me, then choking me to death would “disappear” as the Black Prison Guard’s Union would say the CCTV camera malfunctioned between 3:22 and 3:29 on the day in question. The film later released would show me sitting on my bed reading the anti-Federalist papers one moment, and 7 minutes later lying dead on the floor of my cell of a self-inflicted ruptured larynx.
I lost any rights I had before I was even born. I was born a slave into a White-hating, Christian-hating Marxist totalitarian state.
You think you and your views are valid, and brave, and right, only because you have the FULL FORCE of the Marxist state, with its two-million employees, media monopoly, school monopoly, and $1 trillion-per-year military behind YOU, and ONLY behind YOU.
The blatant disrespect of Ms Goforth should not be allowed in any kind of governmental body, her not being fired shows an amount of racism that is still present and somewhat accepted in some parts of our governmental system.
Tennesse has a long way to go.
“The citizens of Tennessee should feel ashamed and willing to take a long hard look at themselves. Perhaps a statewide effort force feeding these inbreds some education would open their eyes.”
This is what passes for “freedom” in America today? Forced re-education camps! Marxist guilt by association psychological warfare techniques to force conformity? Do you people even listen to yourselves, or can you not be bothered to put down Mao’s Little Red Book long enough?
Now do you get why all those “racist” Whites fought integration? They knew what was coming. Total loss of freedom for all, not just them. It was about the government using force.
Hey Black people, think for a moment. If they can do this to White people. You know, those horrible people who enslaved and conquered the world, what do you think they can do to you? And you should ask, since the power structure in America, appeared to be “white” while all this was be forced upon White people, against their will, exactly who was REALLY in charge. And why did they do what they did?
Thor, is that short for Thorazine? You are clearly off your anti-paranoia medications and crazy as a loon. I urge you to seek medical and psychiatric counseling as soon as possible before you hurt yourself or others around you. You obviously suffer from paranoid delusions and before long, something in you will snap. You are clearly a sick person with more in common with the DC Holocaust Museum shooter than the freedom fighter image you’ve cooked up in your warped, delusional mind. We are not a Marxist state. You don’t know what one is, do you? We don’t read from Mao, and you’ve never seen a little red book in anyone’s hands, have you? Really? Come on now, don’t lie. There are no forced-re-education camps in the USA, Thor, only in your mind. Your sick, twisted, and warped little cowardly mind.
And Thor, there is absolutely NOTHING Christian about you or your words, so why you would care this is a so-called “Christian hating” country is beyond me. Your words are so far off the mark of anything the Christ said (his words are in the RED LETTERS in most bibles, Thor), and way off base from anything in the rest of the New Testament, you clearly don’t understand that. You’re a sick, sick individual.
And its nutbags like you that have me taking advantage of my own 4th amendment rights to keep and bear arms, in case I am called to be part of a well regulated militia to defend this great country from crackpot anti-American fascists like yourself. Yep, your worst nightmare. A well-armed, well-trained, progressive American Democrat who owns a cabinet full of guns and isn’t afraid to use them to protect this great country when called upon to do so.
So, stick to your filthy trailer, nasty desk, crud-covered keyboard and delusional fantasies if you want, but I think you should get some help before you hurt innocent people with your fantasies and delusions.
“And its nutbags like you that have me taking advantage of my own 4th amendment rights to keep and bear arms, in case I am called to be part of a well regulated militia to defend this great country from crackpot anti-American fascists like yourself. Yep, your worst nightmare. A well-armed, well-trained, progressive American Democrat who owns a cabinet full of guns and isn’t afraid to use them to protect this great country when called upon to do so.”
Since you don’t even know the SECOND amendment protects the right of the individual to keep and bear arms, I’m not too worried. Otherwise, I was about to say, “Let’s get it on!” But its obvious you need to read up a bit more, because if you read your operations manuals as well as you read your Constitution, you won’t be able to insert a magazine, or take your weapon off safety.
Progressive? In actuality you are criminals who have broken the law, destroyed a nation and a culture, and who hide behind the word “progressive” because you are lying pieces of human filth. Hitler had “progressive” ideas too, he progressed into Poland and France, and had a very “”progressive” eugenics plan.
See how easy it was to destroy 100-years of sophistry with but a single historical example?
Now since you mentioned Jesus. Please show me where Jesus told people to be stupid, fall for lies and do anything they were told? He actually ordered us “to be as wise as serpents”.

“There are no forced-re-education camps in the USA, Thor, only in your mind. Your sick, twisted, and warped little cowardly mind.”
What do you think the public indoctrination school centers are you dolt? It is hiding in plain sight. They brainwash you via the media with movies and t.v. showing only “bad”, “illiterate”, “toothless”, “paranoid”, Stars and Bars-waving “rednecks” wanting to protect their culture and race, why do you think you just called me every invective you just did?, then the programmed child enters the government controlled echo-chamber.
School is create conformity, not intelligent, independent free citizens. Why do you think test scores have gone down every year since forced busing and integration. Our rulers never gave a crap about Blacks. They only wanted to use them to destroy the White middle class. The only group not dependent upon them and capable of “resisting”.

I’ll take your anger at me as PROOF you know this nation is done, and that you just can’t admit it. If you were semi-educated, and remotely honest, you would know that when conceived, the U.S. had nothing in common with Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto.
Today we have implemented ALL TEN, repeat ALL TEN of the planks. You people aren’t going to understand this until your government teacher TELLS you it is true.
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
Americans do these with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government property ownership)
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State “income” taxes. We call it “paying your fair share”.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, Public “law” 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of “terrorists” and those who speak out or write against the “government” (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF etc…).
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking.
6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.
Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver’s licenses and Department of Transportation regulations.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture… Thus read “controlled or subsidized” rather than “owned”… This is easily seen in these as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
Americans call it Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. We see it in practice via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two “income” family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920’s, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.
Americans call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public “law” 89-136. These provide for forced relocations and forced sterilization programs, like in China.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
Americans are being taxed to support what we call ‘public’ schools, but are actually “government force-tax-funded schools ” Even private schools are government regulated. The purpose is to train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based “Education” . These are used so that all children can be indoctrinated and inculcated with the government propaganda, like “majority rules”, and “pay your fair share”. WHERE are the words “fair share” in the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26)?? NO WHERE is “fair share” even suggested !! The philosophical concept of “fair share” comes from the Communist maxim, “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need! This concept is pure socialism. … America was made the greatest society by its private initiative WORK ETHIC … Teaching ourselves and others how to “fish” to be self sufficient and produce plenty of EXTRA commodities to if so desired could be shared with others who might be “needy”… Americans have always voluntarily been the MOST generous and charitable society on the planet.

There is the proof that America has been transformed into a Marxist state, just as Khrushchev said, “We will bury you, your children will grow up to be communists.”

Let’s see, that was 1964. Lord Obama was born in 1961, so I wonder whom he was speaking about? The generational math adds up.

You are progressive? Okay, maybe I will join your movement. I call for the United States to “progress” into history.
I no longer feel safe with White-hating, Christian-hating Marxists in full control of my society. So I demand we PROGRESS to something which will protect me and my Posterity, and allow me and them to truly pursue happiness.

Florida campers charged with forcing 12-year-old boy to drink urine
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0616091camp1.html
According to the below Putnam County Sheriff’s Office report, the child told cops that he was “blamed for calling a black boy a nigger,” which the boy denied.
The attack, which occurred at Camp Shands in Hawthorne, resulted in the arrest of three minors and Joseph Reid, a 21-year-old volunteer. The victim told investigators that he was lured into the woods, where he was set upon by the quartet. The child’s attackers said that “they were going to teach him a lesson and he was either going to drink a bottle of urine, or they were going to beat him up,”
—
Now the punishment for be accused of being a racist is you are forced to drink urine! This nation has lost its damn mind!
I wonder if the victim even said the word, or if “racist” has simply become the 21st century version of “heretic”!
This represents 20+% of the country. I’m not surprised by the shamelesness, the unrepentance and downright acceptable ‘old bigotry’. Whenever I become frustrated by some of the approaches the President takes, especially about criminal accountability, I realize that any jury selected will have a trogglodyte like ms. goforth on it. Let alone the supreme court that appointed that last administration.

I’m the white adoptive mother of a black daughter and I want Sherri Goforth to think about the impact of both her actions and her views on my child. The most disgraceful part of this whole thing is her “apology” for having sent the offending image to the wrong contact list. Ms. Goforth should be fired and the entire staff of the senator should have to take sensitivity training.
I have blogged this on my personal website and will be writing about it publicly in my opinion column next week for San Diego CityBeat. In the meantime, I encourage all citizens to forward this link and contact the senator’s office and demand that Goforth be fired (currently, they’re not answering their phones).
You’re an idiot, Thor.
People do evil shit to each other every day. For all different kinds of reasons.
What the fuck is your (Jr. High School mentality) point anyway?
……”Reid and the three minors were charged with kidnapping and aggravated child abuse, both felonies.”
A crime was committed and it seems it’s being punished.
Now go play on the train tracks.
This is totally unacceptable in the year 2009. People need to realize that we are all created by a loving, kind and compasionate GOD. I have to wonder if the person who circulated this considers herself a Christian. If she does she has alot to learn regarding Jesus Christ.
And perhaps she’d like to take it up with GOD as to the different races. After all, He did create them all.
As Ok Go! once said, “get get get get get over it”.
If this is the best selective moral outrage you can come up with we are in dire times indeed.
I think the two bittie eyes are actually funny.
When will you people get it. I am sure that Staffer showed the photo around the office and to Diane Black, but just like the she is a RACIST.
I am sure Diane and her Staff enjoyed a good laugh, that is why the young lady found it appropriate to spread the joy around. It seems to be the only time a Republican did not say NO to something.
I wonder how many of you liberals were offended when people were making fun of Condoleezza Rice? Drawing her as a parrot with big black lips, drawing her as a black character from “Gone with the wind”, and how about Stelle and democrats calling him an Oreo?

Got it? SLAVERY is like SLAVERY. It means someone OWNS YOU. It means if you are a female slave, your owner can take away your children and sell them, forbid to speak your native tongue, or even rename you to indicate whose property you are, among other horrors.
—
What do you think CPS does? They take your children away from you, and they are given to “foster” parents who make a profit off putting them on ’special needs” drugs, and housing them. A good living. Some of these families drug and house 6 kids and don’t need to work any more. Judges have even been proven to get kick backs, in Pennsylvania, in Amerika.
Forbidden to speak my native tongue? What do you think press one for English, press dos for Espanol is? What do you think Obama telling me I should learn to speak Spanish means? My country has been illegally invaded by a foreign army, and my government did NOTHING about it. SLAVERY!
Rename me? How about referring to me as a “tax payer” and by a 9-digit number instead of my given name!
You want I should go on? White Americans, all Americans, but especially White Americans, are now SLAVES!
I proved it with your own rant! And it is because of IDIOTS like you, that apparently we will all have to be reduced to total chattel slavery again, before anyone wakes up and does anything about it!

Here we have the rantings of an idiot who probably doesn’t even know the White race has been targeted for extermination, and if nothing changes, the last White person is predicted to be born in Iceland in the year 2,200.
Why didn’t you adopt a baby from a White girl who was about to have an abortion you frickin idiot? You think you are a good person because you went along with the plan to destroy your culture? You are an idiot, a manipulated useful idiot, as Lenin said. You aren’t a good person, because you allowed your weak-mind be manipulated by peer pressure by your rivals and enemies.
And to those of you who say there are no “reeducation camps” in America, or calls for them. What do you think “sensitivity training” is? Did you think they would actually call it the Marxist Reeducation Camp to desensitize you to the concept of being defeated, and having your race and culture destroyed forever?
Where are the teeth? I thought it was supposed to be eyeballs AND teeth? lol
Yeah and Bush being compared to a monkey was A-OK.

Just more evidence that the people who have the ability to stop mistreating people on the basis of color do not have the will to stop. And the people who have the will to stop them from mistreating people on the basis of color do not yet have the ability to stop them.
…even when the person who is being mistreated on the basis of color is the President of the United States of America…
I think this Thor is somewhere in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSAa3R0Qo1w
First off, thanks for providing a link to the photo. Not being an American, our media is not quite up to speed on this issue. And Captainkona, I loved your reworking of the photo – gave me a good laugh. As for the original photo, it bothers me to see that type of racism in the great state of Tennessee (yes, I’ve visited, even climbed the Great Smoky Mountains), but I’m not surprised. In fact, I’m amazed at how far America has come in such a short time – from MLK to Obama in just over one generation. You’ve got a ways to go, but at least you’re headed in the right direction (most of you anyways – I’m not counting the nutbar at the Holocaust Museum in DC last week).
And Thor, I’m sure you’ll rant at the fact that I’m not an American, but that’s reality, buddy – most of the world is (a) not American; (b) not white and (c) not Christian. And many of us see your electing a non-white president as being the first step to the U.S. rejoining the rest of the world as a partner, rather than as a bully.
Finally, as for Sherri Goforth, you’re always going to have people like that around. Funny how many of them gravitate to politics! Fortunately many of them seem to be technologically challenged – how else to explain all the mis-addressed e-mail messages?
[...] if its staffers would quit sending out e-mails like this: Newscoma posted details of a racist email sent from Sherri Goforth, legislative aid for Sen. Diane Black [...]
Thor,
white isn’t a race, its a figment of your imagination; humans are a race.
And to the poster that refers to Tennesseans as “inbred”,
the email/picture is abhorrent, but labeling someone “inbred” isn’t much better.
OK, now that’s funny.

WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THIS THOR IDIOT.WOW TALK ABOUT RANTING AND RAVING,SOMEONE GIVE HIM A PILL AND A GLASS OF URINE TO WASH IT DOWN WITH
“I think this Thor is somewhere in this video”
I’m glad you posted this nonsense. It will give me another chance to reach White people and tell them how they are being manipulated by the controlled American power structure.
Why is it when a White person seeks to protect their civil rights, they are instantly attacked using the Marxist technique of ridicule, and for being uneducated?
#1 Isn’t it interesting that when Whites tried to attack Blacks as being uneducated in their fight for civil rights, this only garnered them more support? The Black gains status for being uneducated, as in, it is the fault of White society they are so. But when a White man is uneducated, he is to be mocked? This is more proof White people need their own society to be safe and enjoy freedom from this new vicious form of bigotry.
#2 The Founder Fathers, ALL of them, even the abolitionists, would be considered White supremacists today. So would most of the great thinkers of Western civilization. So why when a representative image of White “racists” is offered, it is never Locke, or Dunn, or Voltaire, or Jefferson, or Madison? Why is it always clowns like this, or at best maybe a Nazi like Hitler?
Answer, because you’ve been trained in your Marxist indoctrination centers to react to the bells you hear by conjuring up such images. Well done canine subjects, the experiment has worked well upon you.
#3 I have never, nor will I ever say, “That’s how we roll!”

This is the reason the GOP fails.
NOT because “we do racist things” and then have to explain or defend such actions… but because we allow leftists to define the conversation.
You commenters are all so busy either trying to say it was just a joke, or that this racism was just one isolated incident, none of you seem to realize that you all unquestioningly swallowed the festering lie of a faulty premise: Who says this is “racist” AT ALL???
To me it looks pretty obvious that this is a cartoon about Obama being perpetually in the dark, which he is: clueless.
Just because leftists are quick to scream “racist” at the drop of a hat, doesn’t mean you have to be so quick to take them seriously.
Holy crap. Coma! You need to call terminex?
so this stupid racist woman sent it to the ‘wrong’ list! she sent it, period. what is her mailing address? i’d like to flood her mailbox. how ugly and vile this is, and she is! she’s someone who still finds humor in these racist depictions. racist, stupid person.
You people are complaining about this but hush-hush about robert byrd….the biggest racist in the all of politics. You think he just woke up one day and decided not to hate black people? None of you are really offended; you are just hoping that this will hurt the other party.
So, just how badly do Republicans want to make sure that they go further down the road of alienating everyone but the fringe?
Conservative Federal Office Holders are going to need a place in a zoo pretty soon so we can all remember that they used to exist.

Well, I’m just now catching up on this story since I couldn’t view it properly when on my iPod yesterday.
I have to say that I’m in full agreement about the horrific nature of the original email and really have issues with it being sent by a State employee on the State’s time.
And I’m reading through the comments of other people who are offended. And then I got to the one where CaptainKona says he “fixed it” and there’s a new photo replacing four of the presidents with various “slur” photos. (Bozo, Hillary) The last was a replacement of Bush with Hitler.
Now I am sick and damned tired of the last 8 years. I’m not a Bush fan–in fact I’m far from it. But you cannot tell me that the Bush-Hitler meme isn’t as destructive and racist and hate-filled as any of the “Icky-ooo Obama is BLAAAACK” stuff that the folks here (me included) DON’T like.
Hate is hate. Juvenile expressions of hate are juvenile expressions of hate. No matter which “side” they come from.
Sooo… I guess “harmless joking and good clean fun” is only reserved for guys like Bush then, right? Oh, ok, I remember now, if you think Obama is just as much of a joke, you’re racist. Got it. Carry on, Change!!
I am native born Tennesseean who happens to be black and who, due to the circumstances of my parents, has not lived in Tn. since I was five. Even so, I have always been fine with telling people I’m a transported “ridge runner” from Nashville. I have to say that between the Ford election campaign and now Ms. Goforth’s actions ans Sen. Black’s non-reaction (a letter of reprimand means next to nothing unless you get a slew of them), I am now becoming embarrassed to mention my birthplace. In my travels back to my homestate I have met quite a number of outstanding people both black and white, but you are letting the sorry few give the whole state a bad name. Think of it as being like when the bad actions of a few are used as an excuse to stereotype a whole race of people. Same premis if you continue to let it go on

This is so sad its 2009 and some American’s still hating when will it end.

TN. I keep smiling and i am not impact by hate.
I think that what keep President Obama and Michelle going they just keep smiling and are not impacted by HATE, its not NEW. American’s have march and died all
in the name of HATE, and here we are, still hating.
Really. Seriously, Thor has a point. But, in short, the average person is just a jackass drone who thinks Paris Hilton deserves to be a celebrity and that white kids acting ghetto is the only way to get respect. Fools!
I’m not racist, but I detest illegal immigrants – which pretty much means I hate Texas (and have the unfortunate joy of living here at the moment) just as much as I hate the entire idea of “political correctness.”
Much like Thor is saying, I just want MY country and MY culture back. But I guess that’s too much to ask from a government that should have been overhauled long, LONG ago.
I can’t take this seriously–you people are a bunch of twits. This jackass is killilng our country just for fun and this is what you get upset about. Words are wasted on you idiots.
CaptKoma
A) calling someone “queef” and running to a hate crime stat is hilarious.
B) this “kind of thing” would be racist gaffes by politicians and their staffers, not all hate crimes. and you need to go South to stock up on your “Maccacas”, “Michelle’s an ape”, and “Obama’s a spook”.
c) the stats you cite only prove that hate crimes are reported more in California, not that there is more racism. When you hail from Lynchville, USA I would be more savvy when using hate crime reportings.
d) comparing a state to a region is bit much. each state wildly differed in agencies reporting and the definition of “hate crime”. states also wildly differ in urban centers, population density, and size of police agencies. so to point to the number of hate crimes reported in the raw in the most populous state as proof of anything in terms of institutionalized, closet racism in the South vs. the West or North is both ahistorical, and to quote you: “fucktard”ed.
retreating in regional denials is not “owning it” it’s denying your past, present, and future.
and yes, Thor is a fucktard.

What strikes me in this Tennessee case and the So Carolina Rusty DePass incident, is that no bloggers or blog commentors seem to mention the casual disdain these officials show for 30 – 40% of their constituents. Can you imagine an official condoning a comment dehumanizing any other demographic comprising that large a portion of their state? And we no longer have a problem with official racism in this country?
Do we know if she created the image? If not, did she get it from someone higher up the TN RNC and that is why she has not been fired?
Great work reporting this!

[...] second, on the right who did something utterly disgusting and very very wrong gave the following apology, [...]
Ahhh Thor,
I wasn’t going to comment on you delusional, twisted posts, because its gotten us waay off the topic at hand; a tasteless, racist joke sent by an unapologetic political staffer, but I just can’t keep quiet. First, I’d like to say its funny how the American Government seemed to be just fine and running as a well oiled machine in your eyes until Obama was elected; now suddenly the system is flawed, useless, crazy and headed for socialism.
Second, though it is a small point, there is NO SUCH THING as the Black Prison Guards Union. Thor, I would REALLY like to know how it is that the Caucasian” race is going extinct? Seriously?! I see PLENTY of White people every day of all social and economic stations and all political associations thriving and living just fine. You may also want to remember that White people live in other countries around the world, not just here in the good US of A. I hardly think you’re going to be extinct any time soon. What is with the White male aggression? Are you upset because this country is not all white “anymore”? I hate to tell you, but this county was never all white. Native Americans lived on this land long before any European settlers, YOUR ancestors decided to bring MY ancestors here to do all the labor most of your ancestors were unwilling to do. Then, as the country wanted to expand westward they encouraged Chinese immigration to help pan for gold and build the railroads. Also, the young United States of America took parts of Mexico and added that land to its vast expansion of the country. So theoretically, it’s your ancestors you should be angry with for bringing, encouraging and taking the land of other cultures, which lead to their descendants living here today. You talk about the media power and spin, how they perpetuate untruths, and pointed to that as the reason KWFV imagines you as a backwoods red necked racist, and then talk about the celebration of uneducated Blacks, excuse me, “Negros”. Did it ever occur to you, that perhaps, the media has shaped that image (uneducated Blacks) too? So you are a victim of your own so called media conspiracy. You are probably a well dressed, educated working White male. One that most people around you would not expect to hold such extreme, dangerous, racist ideas. That’s the worst kind of racist, just like the staffer that sent this e-mail. Decent people never see your type coming. As a CHRISTIAN, I’ll pray for you. See, that’s what Christians do. They want to help those less fortunate and educate the ignorant. Nothing you have espoused here on this site echoes Christ’s love.
The saddest part of this whole thing, Thor, is that you believe that you and those like you are some kind of underground patriots who are going to save the country from itself, that you will be America’s heroes. But really, you and those like you are really a cancer to this country. I think you miss the entire point of being an American. This country is great because we can go to sites like this and have a discussion or debate, even when we think the other person is a complete jerk, Because I can have friends that are White, Latino/a, Middle Eastern, Republican, Jewish Muslim and I don’t have to be afraid to be seen with them because they’re different, and we can appreciate each others differences, but see and love the sameness, because the vote of the people means something, and when we come together we CAN affect change. I know this country is not perfect, but no place is except heaven, and we will probably never all hold hands and sing Kum Ba Ya around a bon fire, but when people like you thrive on, and promote hatred, and promote twisted logic and threaten violence, it makes me sick.
Just as another poster said upthread, I too am no longer shocked by this sort of hateful and bigoted slander. The years of hearing all about Chimpy Bushitler and Darth Cheney was just the beginning. Move forward to the absurd slander and blatant sexism and misogyny launched at Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. Condi Rice too, only she also got a heapin’ side of racism to go with hers. Even now with Playboy and David Letterman and their vulgar rape fantasies against women.
Indeed, Goforth should definitely bear a similar punishment as Letterman. We need to stand up against this sort of thing, right?
Man, some of these people need to get fucked. On both sides.

This is the most base form of Racism. A racist act, not viewed as such by the perpetrator, means the individual’s racist nature is a foundation of their upbringing. They don’t have the value system to recognize that the act is born from Hate.
Nevertheless.
Now it is time to deal with the person and punishment must be harsh.
The employer can attempt to apologize for this, but the right words will be difficult to find. But, they must come and not sound like a Hallmark Greeting Card.
Certainly, the offense is grounds for termination. The Country does not need people who do these things working in Politics.
The only place you can go for forgiveness is to Jesus.
Any, other than The Savior, will find it difficult to hear the apology and nearly impossible to forgive.
Somebody better start acting like they have offended The First Family and our President.
A Termination and a Resignation should be signed and submitted. Pronto!

Wow Rev I would expect a lack of compassion from all others but from a man of the cloth I am surprised. I believe that it was stated how many time are we to forgive(not Jesus, us).
“Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.”

Your “people” are too sensitive because you have been propagandized to believe that it is a shameful, degraded place from whence you came. You think you can demand respect and/or that respect is something that is shown to you.
One only has respect because they command it. Therein, lies the problem. You command nothing!! – Not one thing that is truly meaningful.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh”, you retort, “But we in command now! We gottus …A Commander in chief!! He in charge of evything”………..
Is he really? Are you naive enough to believe that any President is actually in charge?? Now what? Blacks can succeed to the highest office in the U.S. and still be reduced by a little “spook” picture?
It has nothing. absolutely nothing to do with being outnumbered. The problem is that you are outsmarted, outeducated, outwitted, and outclevered. And no one is to blame. The problem is circumstancial. Google up “The Bell Curve”.
I remember back in the 1960’s, NASA put a little chimp in a little space suit and trained him for years. Finally, he went on a flight to the moon. Nobody confused him for an astronaut. Why? It was circumstancial.
I think it is funny. Obamas past is blacked out, his policy process is blacked out, he was elected because he was black (remember the Liberals telling us WHY his election was historic), he was supposed to be running a transparent Admin, but his laws are passed in the middle of the night, he went to a church for 20 years that encourages parishioners to adhere to the “10 points of Blackness”.

You start off with a straw man logical fallacy. You don’t know me, if you did, you would know I have been screaming about the loss of our liberties since I took civics in high school during the Reagan Administration. And even if I hadn’t been, everyone has the final straw, or the moment they finally wake up from the dream. This where were you when canard gets us nowhere.

“Second, though it is a small point, there is NO SUCH THING as the Black Prison Guards Union.”
If there isn’t one I am shocked. Since there are Black Student Unions, Congressional Black Caucasus and the NAACP, with no similar organizations for Whites.
“Thor, I would REALLY like to know how it is that the Caucasian” race is going extinct? Seriously?! I see PLENTY of White people every day of all social and economic stations and all political associations thriving and living just fine.”
In the year 1700 how many Native American plains tribes people would listen to a warning about the dangers of the White men who were living in the direction of the rising sun? There were plenty of them, everywhere, doing just fine. And they had never even seen a White man. But were they actually safe, or did they just think they were safe? By the year 1900 they would certainly know the danger was real, and it was too late to do anything about it.
In 1950, 1 in 3 people on the planet were White, today the number is closer to 1 in 10 and falling fast. We use birth control and have abortions and pay confiscatory taxes which prohibit large families, and they don’t.
You don’t know these facts because they have been hidden from all of us. And because your black, subconsciously you would not notice or care about seeing fewer Whites.
If the nightly controlled news WANTED White Americans to know they were doomed, they would run the story every single night. But they don’t, so they don’t.

“You may also want to remember that White people live in other countries around the world, not just here in the good US of A. I hardly think you’re going to be extinct any time soon. What is with the White male aggression? Are you upset because this country is not all white “anymore”? I hate to tell you, but this county was never all white.”
Why so aggressive? One of my ancestors probably killed an invading Mongol before fleeing into the hills, and the trait has been passed down to me. Aggression is the proper response to discovering an active plan by your own government to exterminate your kind off the planet. This is an issue of control and survival. Without control, you can’t guarantee survival, this is why the Jewish people rightly wanted their own nation again.

Who says I am not angry with those idiots who sold out everyone for the sake of their short-term gain? Those pricks were in complete control politically then, and not thinking past next Sunday.

Your people were captured in tribal warfare, first made slaves to a rival chieftain, then sold to the White, probably Jewish merchants, in exchange for alcohol, dyed fabrics, glass beads, steel instruments or firearms. And Black life had MORE VALUE then. You didn’t see any abortions taking place on the plantation when a slave was worth $40,000 in modern terms. “White supremacists” are the enemy? Who legalized abortion and then placed centers right in Black neighborhoods? Not the KKK. At least slavers made their profits off the lives of Blacks. The progressives, the same people pushing multiculturalism, make their profits off the deaths of Blacks.

“You talk about the media power and spin, how they perpetuate untruths, and pointed to that as the reason KWFV imagines you as a backwoods red necked racist, and then talk about the celebration of uneducated Blacks, excuse me, “Negros”. Did it ever occur to you, that perhaps, the media has shaped that image (uneducated Blacks) too? So you are a victim of your own so called media conspiracy.”
You missed my point. When the Jewish controlled media wanted Blacks to “be” uneducated for sympathetic purposes, they crafted that image in the American mind. But now that their agenda calls for uneducated White hillbillies to be scorned, they take the American populace in that mental direction. Again, this is controlled hypocrisy, and I will not tolerate it. No White person should tolerate it.

“You are probably a well dressed, educated working White male. One that most people around you would not expect to hold such extreme, dangerous, racist ideas.”
These views WERE NOT considered extreme, dangerous, or “racist” until about 50 years. The word “racist” was invented in the first part of the 20th century by Jewish radical Marxists to further the destruction of Christendom. The rest of the world has succumbed to the brainwashing, not I. I fell for it a little bit, until I woke up one looked around and realized the country was gone. Television held us under a trance for too long, just as it was designed to do. Want to know when I had my epiphany? It was February 2007, Black history month, and I was watching a civil rights documentary on PBS. They interviewed this young White girl about why she was marching, and she said because her people were ALWAYS, quote ALWAYS going to be the majority, and the Negro, her words, were always going to be the minority, and she just thought it was time they had “equal rights”.
Then it hit me. Oh my God, these idiot liberals just didn’t realize that not only can things change, they can change fast when you lose control over your government. Little did that brainwashed, but well-meaning girl realize, that in 1965, the Immigration Reform Act would begin to DISCRIMINATE against the skilled European worker favored throughout our nation’s history, in favor of third-world, unskilled labor. And in larger numbers. By the time America woke up to this reality 30 years later, 30 million non-White were inside the gates both illegally and legally. Their Trojan horse worked perfectly. Game over White America. You did nothing and now you are locked forever in a battle for power in a democracy where numbers are EVERYTHING.
White people were stabbed in the back. They got us to accept the already present minorities, then once that mindset of acceptance was instilled they then began to import and more and more non-Whites. And if you express any concern whatsoever, you are labeled a “racist” and marginalized in this totalitarian society. And since no one wants to be ridiculed or marginalized, or have their income potential diminished, White people just go along with their destruction. History, how ever much of it we have left, will laugh at how easy the White race went down.
And it was well-dressed, educated people who looked White which destroyed my nation. So I will grant you, the traitor from within is the most dangerous enemy, as Cicero said over 2,000 years ago.

“That’s the worst kind of racist, just like the staffer that sent this e-mail. Decent people never see your type coming. As a CHRISTIAN, I’ll pray for you. See, that’s what Christians do. They want to help those less fortunate and educate the ignorant. Nothing you have espoused here on this site echoes Christ’s love.”
No, the worst kind of racist would be the kind now attacking my race, trying to wipe us off the planet. I/we just want our homelands so we can guarantee that doesn’t happen. You people should really wake up and think about letting us have want we want peacefully. Do you really think we will go quietly into that goodnight? And I see nothing un-Christ-like about avoiding problems in the first place by separating different factions instead of forcing factions into the same political power structure. Maybe you can help me, but I can’t locate the passages where Jesus tells people to go out of their way to create situations of animosity and conflict, only so they Christian will lose the battle when his opponent accuses him of being un-Christ-like. I seem to remember I’m already forgiven, so it really doesn’t matter what I do, especially since I woke up and learned the truth. Satan is behind this whole plan by the way.
What future can my children possibly have in this country? I saw the brainwashing take hold as Whites, I don’t blame the Blacks, but as Whites fell all over themselves, thinking they were “making history”, and proving what “good people” they were by voting for the Obama. Next we will have to have a White woman president, then an Hispanic, then an Asian, then a non-White female. And NONE of them will be strict Constitutionalists, so there goes the rule of the law. And all of this has been done by stealth and by design, and while the idiot sheep slept.
And like there will ever be a White president of South Africa again, ha!

“The saddest part of this whole thing, Thor,”
Straight out of the liberal play book, page 41 I think, calling the opponent “sad”.
“is that you believe that you and those like you are some kind of underground patriots who are going to save the country from itself, that you will be America’s heroes.”
Wasn’t I clear? Fuck America! This is about saving Western Civilization and the White race FROM evil America. I used to laugh at the Muslims and their “America is the Great Satan” chants, now I see they were right. When America was in the hands of Whites it used its power to genocide the Natives and enslave the Blacks. Now its power has fallen into the hands of the Luciferians Zionists, so next up is the destruction of the White race.
“But really, you and those like you are really a cancer to this country. I think you miss the entire point of being an American. This country is great because we can go to sites like this and have a discussion or debate, even when we think the other person is a complete jerk,”
For how much longer will you have your “free speech”? Free speech is a curse when you don’t control the microphone. Haven’t you heard about the changes coming to the internet? The “hate speech” laws we must have because one gay guy got murdered? One guy! And who gives a crap about free speech really? The power to truly protect yourself and your interests is what really matters. Don’t you think slaves said I don’t like being a slave, I want off this ship? Don’t you think the Native Americans said, hey stop wiping us out? Freedom of speech is an illusion, real power is force…the ability to use it to protect yourself.
Multiculturalism is the real cancer. What do you think was the REAL message behind the Tower of Babel? God told you himself he doesn’t want us all living together under one government, and yet so-called Christians have ignored this lesson time and again.

“Because I can have friends that are White, Latino/a, Middle Eastern, Republican, Jewish Muslim and I don’t have to be afraid to be seen with them because they’re different, and we can appreciate each others differences, but see and love the sameness, because the vote of the people means something, and when we come together we CAN affect change. I know this country is not perfect, but no place is except heaven, and we will probably never all hold hands and sing Kum Ba Ya around a bon fire, but when people like you thrive on, and promote hatred, and promote twisted logic and threaten violence, it makes me sick.”
You are using slave logic, no offense, as the vast majority of White people use it to. That is the lie of diversity, the image which is sold so the true agenda isn’t revealed. I don’t give a crap about any other race, religion or culture, once mine has its safe homelands. Notice how diversity is being pushed EVERYWHERE White people are at once? This is because they know it is a destructive force, they can’t try it just in one place. When it fails there, the other White nations would never let it happen where they live.
The opposite of the slave mentality, the ruler mentality knows the world is about control and power. Five slaves; the White, Black, Mexican, Native American and Pacific Islander can all be happy slaves and it doesn’t matter. But who gets to rule, which group gets to make decisions which affect the larger groups forever? Take an antebellum slave plantation for example. The slaves on it might have come from the Tutsi, Watusi and Hutu tribe. But on the plantation what the master says goes. All tribalism removed in favor of the forced new culture. When I point out this is EXACTLY what is being done to White people now, I am called a racist.
This is what naive White Americans need to wake up and understand. Your race and your culture is being wiped out because you are a VERY, VERY LARGE SLAVE PLANTATION now. You only have to wake up and realize it.

Further, Americans have been lied to about the “agenda”. America was sold clean-cut, educated, intelligent, peaceful Dr. Martin Luther King, and now their daughters have a poster of a gun-wielding, pimping, stoned Snoop Dog on their walls. That alone is an act of war! The homosexual agenda goes ahead full force in this hell of a country. We are being sold Ellen, 20 years from now your son will be raped by a pedophile at school. It is already happening. As a Christian you should realize when a nation is controlled by evil people, and so therefor it is capable of doing nothing but evil.

Thor: Wow. Just…. wow.
I sincerely hope someone in DHS or the FBI knows about you, because, Jesus….. you are one of those people who decide to suddenly go shoot people at the Holocaust Museum. Scary.
The really sad thing (although there are many) about you is that you really have no idea what it means to be “Christ like”. Jesus would never spew the venom or hate that you foment. It’s not kind, and it’s not Christian.
One more thing. Jesus probably had dark skin, so chew on that for a bit and see how it tastes.
The other terribly ironic (and likely) thing about you is that, deep down, in your fantasies, you wonder what it would be like to be with a black woman. And that really scares you.
We weren’t put on this planet to hate one another – we were put here to love one another. God isn’t white. Or black. Or yellow. God just IS. And the God that most of us pray to at night really doesn’t want us hurting each other, or tearing each other down. At least that’s my 2 cents.
Back to topic… that email was despicable, and the woman deserves to lose her job. Institutionalized racism and intolerance shouldn’t be condoned or accepted, and the fact that she gave a ‘non-apology’ apology really tells us what we need to know about her. It’s sad, but true.
That’s all I’ve got.

Thanks Sharon. And thanks for the kind words over at your blog as well.
ALL OF YOU WOULD BE MUCH MORE TOLERANT OF ONE ANOTHER IF YOU WOULD GOOGLE UP “THE BELL CURVE”. NO ONE IS TO BLAME! BLACKS ARE JUST TRYING TO THRIVE OUTSIDE OF THEIR COMFORT ZONES. THAT IS WHY THEY COME OFF AS AWKWARD AND NOT CREDIBLE. THEY ARE FROM A WARRIOR CULTURE, THE WORKING CLASS… THE HUNTERS.
WHITES DO NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MISTAKES WE HAVE MADE WHICH HAS CAUSED BLACKS TO HAVE A FALSE SENSE OF SURVIVAL IN WHITE CULTURE. MOSTLY WHAT BLACKS BRING TO OUR CULTURE IS FOR OUR AMUSEMENT AND WE HAVE PLACED TOO MUCH EMPHASIS ON FUN AND GAMES.
WE PAY TO PUT THEM IN A RING AND BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF EACHOTHER.
WE PAY TO WATCH THEM BOUNCE BALLS AND RUN REAL FAST.
WE PAY TO WATCH THEM DANCE AND SING.
WE PAY TO WATCH THEM PLAY CATCH AND KNOCK EACHOTHER DOWN.
I HONESTLY THINK IF WE WOULD JUST QUIT PAYING SO MUCH ATTENTION TO THEM THEY WILL QUICKLY BRING ABOUT THEIR OWN DEMISE. HELL, THEY KILL EACHOTHER IN RECORD NUMBERS IN THE GHETTOS. AND LETS FACE IT, THESE GHETTOS ARE LEFT RELATIVELY UNCHECKED.
JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE. THEY DESERVE A CHANCE TO MOVE ON AND GO LIVE COMFORTABLY WITH ONE ANOTHER. WE CAN ALL AGREE TO INHABIT THE PLANET TOGETHER, BUT LET’S FACE BE HONEST, WORKING AND LIVING SIDE BY SIDE JUST CAUSES TOO MUCH CONFLICT. IT JUST DOESNT GEL. AND IT ISNT NECESSARY.
REMEMBER THIS: SUPERIORITY COMPLEXES IS NOT WHAT FUELS RACISM THESE DAYS………ITS INFERIORITY COMPLEXES.

Does anyone know where I can find a larger version of the photo?
BREAKING NEWS FLASH!
“Racist blogger Newscoma gins up outrage in simpleminded sheep and media by reporting on GOP staffer who emailed innocuous joke image of someone in the dark, presumably Obama!”
Following the ‘all (blank) are (blank)’ pattern of a bigot, Newscoma justified his libel only with the willfully ignorant stereotype that all Republicans are racists. This simpleton premise precluded the keyboard cowboy from doing any substantive journalistic work, like bothering to find out why the staffer forwarded the image at all, or if the staffer herself even considered the image of two cartoon eyes on a black background to have ANY racial implications. Instead, using a habitual lack of logic that would land most upstanding citizens in a rubber room, Newscoma cited the complete omission of evidence to presume proof of his charges.
Neglecting to find ANY example of this image (akin to Elmer Fudd bumbling about in the dark) being explained by its creator as racial in intent, Newscoma’s projected personal racism was deemed sufficient evidence for a smear job asserting the alleged racism was somehow so commonly known as to be self evident.
Several commenters of dubios mental capacity echoed these peurile sentiments: “Wow, this is obviously racism, because Newscoma told me so! Stereotyping is bad! All Republicans must think exactly like this racist!”
“Yeah! Anytime I see the color black, it HAS to be a comment about race, there can be no other excuse! Daylight savings is so racist! Always trying to get rid of an hour of blackness!”
“OMG! I just realized my comment text is black! I must be a racist too!
”
The insanity even devolved into circular logic:
“Well, since Republicans are racist, any email she forwarded must have been racist. Since the email forward was racist, the Republican who sent it must be racist!”
Names have been omitted to protect the differently abled.
The spirit of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., after pointing out that “even a joke should be judged on its actual content rather than a knee-jerk reaction to color”, was trampled underfoot by the unhinged lynchmob and unable to make further comment. The irony was not lost on this reporter.
GOOD FOR CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!! I GET SO TIRED OF BEING CLASSIFIED AS A HATER JUST BECAUSE I DONT WANT THE BLACK AGENDA INFLICTED ON ME. I DONT HATE BLACK PEOPLE. THEY JUST SEEM TO BE AT THE THE CENTER OF TOO MANY PROBLEMS.
I AM SORRY WE BOUGHT YOU HERE AGAINST YOUR WILL, I AM SORRY YOU HAVE LOW SELF ESTEEM, I AM SORRY THAT YOU FEEL DEGRADED, I AM SORRY THAT WE DONT WANT TO INVEST IN YOUR PEOPLE, I AM SORRY THAT YOU ARE SO DISPLACED: I JUST DONT THINK THAT THE PUNISHMENT OF HAVING TO DEAL WITH YOU PEOPLE IS COMMENSURATE WITH THE CRIME OF BRINGING YOU HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
[...] on June 18, 2009 by Mark Apparently, this foolish Email with an old fashioned racist cartoon that Sherri Goforth forwarded has caught the attention of even the harpies at The View. And I mean harpies in the most respectful [...]
Just who are the RIGHT people you meant to send it to,
Sherry Goforth? To Mskmaker: it’s not a “Black agenda” it’s a “Human agenda” and it’s people like you who are at the center of hate and bigotry.
So I’m assuming Mskmaker and Captain Obvious are “Christians”, as well? You guys and Thor could have quite the Klan rally together.
Perhaps it’s an erroneous assumption, so please, edify me.
If I am correct, though, and you purport to be a Christian…. wow.
Very nice. Very Christ-like, and way to further hatred and disrespect others. I’m sure whatever children you may or may not be raising are going to grow up to be racist “Christians” as well. Nice indeed.
No, not a christian; however, I do believe that for the most part christians are nice people. Particularly I have a great deal of regard for the catholic as they contributed so much to the arts and sociology. Sure they all have their sketchy pasts; clearly those who participated in the crusades and warriors like moses, david, and joshua etc. had barbaric lifestyles. I dont understand it – dont care to understand it. It’s just the way it was and now in this day in age, we clearly have crossroads and it is what it is.
I am not adverse to trying to evolve to a better level of understanding. But the rhetoric and language used by the left seems so vile and hateful and resentful, I usually am too disgusted to even be open minded enough to continue in conversation.
Help with this if you can be civil: I would like for the black community to find whatever place they feel most comfortable. I think they dont operate well in a blended society. I dont mind lending moral support or guidance or ideas, I just feel resentful that I am forced to part with so many of my inherited and hard earned dollars to invest in their community under the guise of entitlement programs. I think that throwing cash at them is senseless and that by and large it doesnt help.
I feel resentful when I see and hear about blacks with 6 kids on welfare. And the slang they use and the “my baby daddy” rhetoric. And the promotions that are afforded to them, when they aren’t the best one for the job. And the anger and hatred in their music and rap. And the attention getting stunts (acting like banchees at the theater, dressing like slum dogs, and all the breeding…….who has 6 kids?)
So I tried to research their culture. I do believe in genetic predisposition for behavior. And my research leads me to believe that their interaction in a Euro-branch society is just setting them up for failure. I swear if I was black, this would be the last country in the civilized world that I would choose to stay in.
For instance, I was wondering why they feel so comfortable and happy and in their element in gangs. Even though we all see the cryps and bloods, etc. , and all the bad behavior, if you look closely at their interaction, they seem to be very ok and relaxed in that kind of atmosphere? Why? Easy!! They come from a tribal mentalilty. There’s nothing wrong with communal living for them, they dont seem to be unhappy all jammed up piled up one on top the other in these type of environments. why? tribal ancestry.
So why in the world would we set up a society that works well for us (capitalistism, individual achievment, hierarchy of power) and then tell them that this is the road to success. It is easily attainable for us ( as a whole) and impossible for them (as individuals). It’s mean to subject them to this kind of environment. It’s wrong and its a set up for failure and its just mean. Remember that mayor (help me out here) from Chicago, I think, Marion Barry – remember him getting popped for being all holed up in a seedy motel smoking crack with a gang of his people. This guy was so set up for failure being put in an impossible position to run a city – and then the big fat cat white ignorant Rush Limbaugh pig types sit back and puff their cigars and say “see, told ya!! And they’re all just like him”.
And this whole Obama rama thing. Does anyone think that its a little more than odd that this guy was set up on stage and poised for the presidency, and the only person that the republicans could offer up as an alternative was that decrepit, old stereotypical John McCain. This republican party is loaded with cash. They can buy and sell anybody. The upper echelon owns everything. And does no one out there think that they pulled back support and withheld cash because they knew this country was on its way to an economic disaster and allow obama to be set up as the sacrificial lamb. Its horrible!! Its inevitable, you watch and see, this guy will fail so miserably and the only thing that will keep George H.W.
Bush from going down in history as the worst president ever is that Obama is going to walk away with that trophy. It was a set up. Destined to fail. And then the big, white pigs will sit back in the smoky members only Yale library, and say, “told ya it would work”. And then they get on National television as say “you put up the best of the best of your people and he’s a big black failure.” AND IT WAS A POSITION PREDESTINED TO FAIL!! This guy is probably a very nice person and he’s going to get chewed up and spat out and its just business as usual for the real owners of this country. ( and in the midst of Obama’s horrible failure – the black community will be satisfied as long as the taxpapers spend a couple of million dollars to erect a monument in his honor)
Hey honey, there’s the statue of the only black president we ever had. What a chump. He led us down the path to financial ruin. And there’s the washington monument, and the Jefferson memorial and the Lincoln monument, etc………….and the obama statue. Right there in the middle because it gets jammed down our throats that he deserves a monument only because he’s black?
Help me out here. If you dont see that this guy will get sucked up into the most corrupt system of government and then they will expose him for corruption. He’s damned if he does and damned if he doesnt. All these big fat cat white Dick Cheney self serving idiot types are just sitting back listening to the music, and when it stops they are all going to grab a chair and Obama is going to be the one left standing.
It was a no brainer – He was by far and away the easiest one to set up and the fall out will be that “Obama was just ill suited for the presidency.”

[...] the “spook” in the corner. Sherri Goforth, who works for Diane Black found it funny enough to email to her friends and colleagues. [...]
Here’s another big set up for failure for the blacks. Has anyone ever seen the show “lock up”? They show thousands of these black guys locked up for crimes, crammed into these horrible prisons and locked away from “our People”. Gotta remove these criminals from society. Right?
But they are only considered crimes in THIS SOCIETY!! For instance, alot of them are improsoned for stealing.
We call that a crime.
In African culture its not a crime, it happens every second of every hour of every day. No problem. One tribe doesnt have something and the other tribe does. So the “have nots” gang up together and steal all the shit from the “have” tribe and run away. And back and forth and back and forth and so on and so on……….this is just how it is on any given Tuesday. No harm no foul!!
They dont get locked up behind bars. and why? Because its not a crime in that culture. Its just what they do.
A young girl walks through the village, and a big black warrior type runs out from behind a tree and throws her the big hump, pump, pump, pump and runs off. It happens every second every hour every day year after year after hundreds and thousands of years. So what! It’s not a crime in that culture. They are just doing what comes naturally and instinctively.
Here, it’s rape. So now they have to go to a stinky skanky prison for their entire life, for doing something that comes second nature for them. It’s just what they do. Pump, pump, pump, pump, pump and they’re gone! And they have absolutely no feeling for the offspring that the pump, pump might produce. There’s no cop to chase them down looking to put them in jail for not paying child support.
This country has set these guys up for failure. Why not let them go live somewhere in Africa where what they do is not considered crimes and leave them alone.
I think that white society is to blame for the way we have tried to force our ideals on these people. Again, can you see the set up for failure.
It would be like someone holding a gun to my head and telling me to fly an airplane, and then saying i am to blame because i crashed the airplane.
Set up for failure # 6,345,098
This is the honest to the gods truth. I just left my ccmputer and turned on the show “jeopardy”
2 well dressed white chicks and 1 dread locked black guy.
The scores are 2300, -200, and 1700.
Guess who’s losing??
And Now we are going into final jeopardy. Scores??
15,600 / 3,000 / 16,700
Guess who is still losing?
Jeopardy is over? Guess who the big loser was?? Ha ha!!Gotcha! (I know what you were thinking – shame on you)
The big loser will undoubtedly be the ABC network. Any second now, the ceo of ABC is going to get a call from the NAACP calling the broadcasting of this show racially biased and a purposefully staged event aired during primetime to embarrass a black man and humiliate him on National television.. They will claim that the questions were posed in a racist way and that Alex Trebek did not afford as much time to the black man to ring in his answers as he afforded to the Yale and Cornell graduates.
In order to hush it up ABC will settle out of court for around $3,000,000, the attorneys will take a third. NAACP will take their cut and the black guy will get a check for $6.
And round and round we go!
By the way, he lost. He lost alot more than just a silly game.
What a shame!!!

Set up for failure #6,999,099
How about that Monica Conyers? Is she a criminal?
Is she a bad person because she took something that didnt belong to her?
If she was living comfortably in her own element, in and amongst her like kind, she would be guilty of absolutely nothing!!! It would be business as usual on any given Thursday. She is only guilty in this country.
Once again, the big set up for failure. She had no business getting talked into taking a position that could one day cause her to make a choice between “to steal or not to steal”……………..
and once again, the big fat cat white boys sit back watching and laughing at this poor woman squirming around as she’s asking everybody “what I do, what I do??”
And they puff on their cigars, and point at the t.v. saying “every one of them people are thieves. If you shake hands with one of them you better check to be sure you got all your fingers back”
She never, ever, ever should have been put in that position.
For this, we are to blame!!
Am I a Christian? What difference does that make? Would that somehow alter the factuality of what I’ve asserted one way or the other? What if I was Hitler reincarnated? If I said “the sky is blue” would that make me wrong? Name one “hateful” thing I’ve said in the midst of asking people to cease their bigotry and stop jumping to racist conclusions? Can’t name one, can you?
Heck I don’t even exactly agree with msmaker, because I don’t acknowledge the existence of “black people” as if that’s some monolithic group that all walks and talks and thinks alike. No, I see distinct black persons, who each have their own individual merits and value. Anyone claiming to represent “the black comunity” as some whole is a charlatan who seeks to steal others voices to add to their own. same oes for any other “community.” But while I can disagree with others’ perceptions, I don’t need to assume that they’re all automatically racists. I can do so respectfully and with an interest towards hearing a different opinion.
Thank you, Captain obvious, for offering info that may cause me to re think my position. Thanks for providing a forum that allows me to feel comfortable and finally say what I feel without the backlash of nasty ghetto rhetoric and hateful spew which doesnt help take me to the next level. You seem well informed, articulate, and evolved to a more comfortable place than I am with the black thing.
Perhaps I, too, could confront how I feel and move forward.
Where do I go from here?
Just like last night’s Jeopardy game. I turn on the tv and in 2 seconds I am thinking ” well the outcome of this one isnt hard to predict, this black guy is going to get thrashed” And, of course, he did.
I would have had an entirely different thought, had I have tuned into 2 white girls and a black guy competing against one another in a basketball free throw.
Two nice black people move in next door and my husband meets them first and comes home and says “the black couple next door seem like really nice people”
And I immediately think “Yeah, I am sure they are nice. But somehow, someway, and inevitable some time it’s going to get ugly – you just wait”
Six months later the “nice black neighbor” is on the news saying:
“These recent armed robberies here in Countryclubville have absolutele nothing to do with me and my wife and kids personally. I want to make that very clear. These crimes are all on my little cousin. My little cousin would never ever in a million years intentionally stab a couple in their own kitchen-NO WAY! What probly happened was that the couple walked all up on my little cousin and caatched him off gart and he just reacted. It was a reaction, you feel me?”
All of my life I have just accepted the fact that blacks are here and all of us just have to deal with it.
I think I am more resentful in the past 5 years or so because as a group they seem to require so much of my money to “invest in their futures.” Billions and billions given to these people to try and find the handful of superstars that might have something to bring to the deal.
Like spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on trips and tools and manpower to go out and pan for gold. And then when you finally find a nugget, you go to cash it in and find out its worth $100.
I feel like that an inordinate percentage of blacks have a propensity for crime, sooooooo many of them are irresponsible and a financial burden to society, soooo many of them live reckless lifestyles and then expect everyone else to pick up the tab for damage control.
That’s what it feels like to me. Every single dollar spent on these people is just damage control.
I understand that there is a small percentage of them that either excel or have the capabilities to excel.
I am an avid gardener so these are terms to which I can relate. Thinking about investing in blacks is like trying to decide whether or not to spend the time and effort to grow a rose garden. Here’s what you need to consider:
What is it going to take for me to have a beautiful, fabulous rose garden?
#1 A lot of cash
Statistics prove that only one of three shrubs will
live long enough to produce flowers so I am going to have to buy alot of them. Roses are notorious for contracting disease and being prone to draw insects to the whole garden, so alot more money is going to be spent on fungicide and insecticide – Alot more! And not just for the roses themselves. Once you introduce roses to a garden, be prepared that the other plants and flowers are going to be subjected to the new diseases that roses draw into the entire garden!! Its a fact!
#2 A great deal of time
In order for roses to have Flower Power, they require a great deal of pruning. And its a nightmare. They have huge big hidden thorns that stab you and prick you. Pruning takes 10 times longer with Roses.
#3 Continual attention
Cant miss one dose of fertilizer. Even with the hybrids. The hybrids are only a little better plants than the original species. Cant miss one round of spraying for bugs. One miss, and the bugs eat through the petals and then you have to cut off the buds and start all over.
These roses prick you, stick you, they are so expensive to begin with, they are nasty to deal with and are hard to keep alive. If you let them go, they get all tangled up in eachother and look like a big junked up mess from a distance. They cause all the other flowers to suffer from the attention diverted away from them and now you find all your time is being spent on one aspect of the garden.
After all this inordinant amount of time, money, and effort, MAYBE (there’s no guarantees) you will get a few pretty flowers out of the whole junky mess. You get just a couple of fabulous, fragrant perfect flowers to cut and put in the foyer. Even the few good ones wither 5 days later and you toss them in the garbage and start all over.
I prefer holly hocks. Little bit of time, little bit of effort, and wham bam fabulous. No bugs, no disease no trouble. Its a no brainer. Holly Hocks have a fabulous reputation. If you research them, they are referred to as “Proven Winners”!!!
Can you help? Or am i just too far gone?
Meanwhile, I will just continue with business as usual and double check to make sure all the doors are locked and that I didnt accidentally leave a window open and by no means am I going to drive through “that part of town”.
can not believe what I saw
what is waiting for moderation?
Is your website down

I wonder how many of you liberals were offended when people were making fun of Condoleezza Rice? I’ll take you guys seriously when you get your own house in order.

You better take them seriously now. They’re in charge, and are likely to be for a long time.
Most of these comments are merely politically correct horses–t. Get over all of this stupid preening about race and a lot of your problems will disappear overnight.
Re:Black Men in America’s Jails and Prisons
Too many young black men continue to waste their precious lives in a state of neo bondage. As a correctional educator for the past several years, I can tell you that the prisons and jails in this great country are overflowing with young African-Americans (You already know). All of my students are young black men – one exception. As a teacher, it saddens me to see the talent that is wasted on a daily basis.
We all need to start doing more to address this escalating dilemma. The youth of this country don’t need to rot in jail, while we (Americans) ignore the problem. Something is causing this horrible trend to continue. You may ask yourself ”What can I do?”. There is no easy answer, but you need to do something. A few suggestions would be:
organize sports functions (basketball leagues, football leagues, etc.)
talk to kids at school
write books
contact government officials
do volunteer work
tutor kids
take kids fishing, camping, etc.
The point here is to start doing something. If we simply ignore the problem, where do you think we will be in 10 years pertaining to this issue?
For my part, I have written a book aimed at helping young black men who are already incarcerated.
The book is called:
Black Choices, A young black man’s guide to prison survival
ISBN: 1-60813-727-9, 83 pages, 6 x 9,
The book can be ordered through
PublishAmerica.com or by calling 301/695-1707
This book can make a real difference to the young man who is incarcerated. It can help him to negotiate prison life more successfully and also start planning for what life brings after prison is over. If you have a loved one or friend in jail, consider sending him this most important book. I believe it will help his life to start getting back on the road to a more successful future. Any help getting the word out about this book will be greatly appreciated. I truly care about my students and the overall plight of too many young black men in America’s correctional centers.
Has anyone here ever heard of Tim Wise? His view of the creation of the “white race” is rather interesting…

“…no such thing as the white race.”
Wow this is awful..I am from Tennessee and I don’t want everyone to think that everyone from here are just all racist hicks..I am certainly not racist. Or judgmental about hardly anything for that matter. This picture hurts me alot..sheesh. Yeah I like that one comment up there..how can anyone expect their children to grow up to be good people when these adults are being like children? Why make jokes about someone elses skin color? The world should be over this already. So people have different skin colors, yesterdays news!..Yesterday by like..way too many years ago. And this is off subject but who really should have the rights to say a gay couple in love shouldn’t have the rights to get married in all of these filthy states? So what they have love for each other..its not like they want to murder..they want to marry the one they love. I feel like i’m starting to get on a roll about too much..I’ll hush up now [;
No..I just got to say…So far Obama has been a good president..I know he has done a few things a little wrong making people worry about him being bad or something but I really have a good feeling about him..He seems like he wants to do something good for a change..it would be nice. I think he’ll do a good job and I feel completley AWFUL knowing that he has to hear all of these bad racist jokes about him and all..I don’t want racist kinds of things to go down again..Geeez.
anyway, love and peace to all.
Give it a try? Love and peace..United we stand..we’re all here together why not get along and make the best of it? We won’t be here forever..espically at the rate the evil in the world is going..heh.

“Line was crossed b/c it wasn’t there.”
I just finally heard about this yesterday. Somehow, this had escaped me since this was posted here a few weeks ago. I’ve been taking a summer course about race and its portrayals in the media and this would have made an excellent piece for discussion, mainly about where society is with “acceptance” and “tolerance,” issues about political correctness and nitpicking, etc.
From a public image point of view, I’m fairly surprised she wasn’t fired (just ‘reprimanded’) given how this, you know, furthers the stereotype that everyone in the GOP sees heaven as a placed filled with rich, Republican white people. Is this really a stereotype anymore? Most of the Pubs who got this e-mail, I’ve read, said they didn’t even think it was racist, but pretty funny. Isolated accident? Not so much, from a 20-year employee of the Tenn. Legislature.
These are some of the dumbest CRACKERS ive ever seen! We ALL have a BLACK PRESIDENT love it or not the worlds changing. Your not in control anymore, THE WHITE REIGN IS OVER!!!!!!!! ITS A BLACK THANG LOL!!! Dont worry white people we will save you once again. OBAMA 2012!!!!
