You can shove your wedges Mitt: 'E Pluribus Unum'; Native Americans , Blacks, Whites, Browns, whatever - we are all in this together. You are on your own: A Billion Bucks Loser. If you want to hear 'White Resentment', pick up the phone, November 7th. 'K

DU recs 248

Well we know they ALL loath Republicans, and the VAST MAJORITY of them are white.

So out of 150,000 user registrations only 248 of them pay taxes. No wonder they are all for Obama's welfare-for-all plans.

So I guess that's really 246, not 248.

19. Other factors?

Actually, I've given this some thought, but I'm not the only Southerner who feels this way, of course. But in my case, I was mothered and cared for by Mary, Marie, and Clara, who were the housekeepers during my childhood -- and who happened to be black.

Also, I never heard the "n-word" used by anyone in my family. And there were occasions when my father demonstrated that he wasn't a racist although he didn't talk about the issue of racism in the South ever. One time, he was buying tickets at the movies when he noticed that a black soldier was turned away. He literally made a public scene when demanding that that man be allowed into the theater. (I was eight or nine then, but the idea of the injustice of segregation was instilled by his emotional outburst that afternoon.) Another time, he threw our next door neighbor out of the house -- jerking her up by the elbow and leading her to the door -- because she had made a racist comment. (That incident taught me that racism -- even from neighbors -- doesn't have to be tolerated for the sake of "getting along.") And he helped Clara in a number of ways, even after she had moved on to another job. (This taught me that although Clara worked hard, she still needed help in a world where she was considered second-class.)

So, in light of these subtle influences, I suppose that my heart was primed to receive King's speech favorably when it was televised for the first time. And I suppose that the Beatles and the hippie movement cemented my connection with the "outside world," so to speak. Since then, I have traveled far and wide and have learned that racism exists everywhere, but my experience growing up in the segregated South makes me very sensitive to the issue. That's why I can say, without reservation, that racism is used against Obama through racially-coded words by the Repukes. It is an injustice being done to him, his family, and to the office of the Presidency.

Now, keep in mind, I had nothing good to s(ay about George W. during his pRescidency, but there were *reasons* for that as we all know. What's being done to Obama is UNreasonable. And it is amazing that he's able to overcome it again and again

Yes, the sanctamoneus, we know what Republicans are THINKING (racism), but since the horrible vile things we said about President Bush (and now Romney) are TRUE (not) it's OK. I have reasons for saying those vile things.

I'm speechless at that statement. I really have nothing to say. Kudos DUmmy. It doesn't get much more stupid than that.

You're slipping Carol. This thread is linkless.

I find it so funny to listen to the party of racism claim that Republicans are racists. It is literally hilarious.

Sorry. It's fixed.


Oh, and now it's up to 313 Dummies that pay taxes.

Oh sorry, that's 311.

Ain't no thing. Just goofing with you.

And the thread has over 3,000 views. Very few taxpayers on that board.

53. "White," middle-class, taxpayer, never voted for a rethug, and never will.

I like having streets, running water, sewers, schools and unemployment benefits if and when I need them. Call me crazy, but I'm happy to contribute to the health, education, and safety of my fellow Americans.

Hey DUmmy...this rethug likes those same things and is happy to contribute too.

What I don't like is paying for someone's Plan B or cellphone or cigarettes or booze or mortgage or gas or rent or condoms or abortion. Can your puny brain process the difference? PM me if you would like me to type it out slowly for you.
