Yes, I've seen the many threads and posts by whites explaining their excuses for racism; what experience do you have that would make your opinion helpful to the CBC or the Girl Scouts or Pacific Islanders? If people like Shabazz and myself (and meson, carterstamp, etc.) weren't making it so easy for racists to expose themselves, some of these posters might actually have been taken seriously by naive people. So yes, good on us for letting people showcase their true inner beliefs, no matter how puerile and crude they might be.
This is the best part about this race debate. The above demonstrates your feeling that my potential contributions to a solution is inferior due to my race or gender being different than that of a given "treatment group." For what it's worth, you don't know my race, so already you are basing your statements on assumptions. Furthermore, assuming inferiority because of perceived race or gender biases is by most reasonable persons' definition racism.
And here is where it gets good. You are on here all up in arms over a joke that Inge Marler told. Think about why she told that joke. Obviously there is some kind of assumption that blacks are inferior or she would not have told the joke. So we have Inge Marler making assumptions about inferiority, as well as you. You are in good company, Evenstar. Welcome to bigotry! It's "long hard look time" for you.
This is a rural, agricultural area; there's one Tea Party covering many counties. I've seen Tea Party crowds on local and national news reports, and many people have noted the virulent signs. Shoot, where I live a black representative from the Missouri Baptist Synod was ignored at a church service, since the preacher didn't have a clue that the man and his wife were from their own church hierarchy. Quite an embarrassment for the church when the gentleman made his report. Overt racism from Democrats? Only in Wonderland, Alice. The last time I looked, the vast majority of black Representatives and Senators were Democrats. Yes...blacks just love the overt racism of the only political party that both welcomes and encourages their participation. You've learned that false mantra well.
But when the Tea Party endorses Herman Cain and holds Allen West in high esteem, it's all just smokescreen, right? And you also dodged ringwise's question: HAVE YOU BEEN TO A TEA PARTY EVENT IN PERSON? No more news reports. I am asking you to venture out and think for yourself here. It can be challenging if you haven't done it before, but it is a rewarding experience.
I think I should mention, that the woman who made this joke, Inge Marler, is not even FROM Arkansas. The town where this rally took place was in Mountain Home, an area where there are many retirees from places like Illinois and the upper Midwest. Ms. Ingle, I believe, is either from Wisconsin or a neighboring state. In the audio recording, she clearly is speaking with an upper Midwestern accent, for all of you who want to equate this with typical Southern racism. Sometimes it's the Yankee transplants that make Arkansas look ignorant.
She has resigned her position. Apparently, she is originally from Yugoslavia ,which certainly explains the name.
I just smoked a fat bowl of reality, I might pick up an ounce or two for you, you really need it.
It’s pretty funny because nothing you mentioned makes someone a racist. What makes one a racist is believing your race is superior, hate based on race and discrimination based on race. You’re clearly exaggerating.

I see you conveniently forgot to list what experience you have that may be helpful to the CBC. Instead of being ethical you twisted the meaning of Evenstar51’s statement and took it out of context. This is a prime example of why we need to congregate without the likes of people who exhibit your thought patterns. It would be detrimental to allow the poison that is white conservative thought to undermine groups fighting for justice and equality.

Herman Cain is just wrong in his view of the direction of America and there is clearly something wrong with Allen West. He is neither normal nor sane…

The above is your opinion, and you are entitled to it. What is NOT opinion is the FACT that both Herman Cain and Allen West are of African American descent, and that Cain was the Tea Party's candidate of choice through the early stages of the GOP primary. You can try to undermine Allen West all you want because he doesn't meet your lofty standards of normal or sane, but that doesn't change the fact that he, an African American, is held in high esteem by the Tea Party. Since it's all about race to you, that should be enough to satisfy you. Unless of course you apply a double standard to conservatives.
