If Cliven Bundy were the least bit racist, he could have used the most common perjorative of them all, the N-word. Then CNN wouldn't have had to go to the effort to dictor his video. But he never touched it. So they went to Plan B instead and tried to alter what he said, and smear him.

What was it that Bundy said which was wrong?

Got it, you're a racist.. glad we cleared that up on a thread discussing someone elses phantom racism..
You can summarize however you like.

The rest of your post is irrelevant.

You don't even have to do that. Just suggest to White liberals their kids will be made to go schools with a significant portion of poor Blacks, sit back and watch the fireworks.

They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

Why do "patriotism" and racism go hand in hand?

Conservatives begin backing away after Cliven Bundy’s remarks disparaging ‘the Negro’
His choice of wording might have been better, to some folks ... but I have to admit that there's a lot of truth to what he's saying ... when you translate/read between the lines. The harsh reality.

Of course, CNN doctored the video of Bundy, apparently trying to show him as a racist when he wasn't. And it's working. Even conservatives who have seen only CNN's version, are blasting the guy. And if I had seen only what CNN carefully showed, I'd be blasting him too.

But in the full video, Bundy talks for several minutes about how black people were hard workers, decent people with strong families, etc. Even back in the slave days, when they were making useful contributions despite the horrible oppression they were enduring ("picking cotton"), they showed fine qualities and had nothing to be ashamed of. Bundy said the same was true for Mexican people, too.

But today, when the government is giving them tons of free stuff in the guise of "helping" them, Bundy said you can find black people sitting around doing nothing, winding up in jail, etc. - a major contrast to when they had to fight for their own interests under dreadful conditions and displayed stellar character.

CNN cut off the first part and showed only the second, in an apparent attempt to pretend Cliven Bundy was a racist when he clearly wasn't. It was a typical liberal response for which CNN has perfected the technique: If you can't refute what a man is saying, doctor it and try to smear him personally, instead.

The hoax has since been revealed, but the liberals, true to form, keep forwarding the lie as hard and fast as they can... joined by the usual liars and smear artists in this thread. The truth doesn't suit their agenda, so they shun it.

See the real, original video here, along with CNN's carefully doctored version:

Bundy Hoax Exposed: Full Video Of Cliven Bundy?s Non-Racist, Pro-Black, Pro-Mexican, Anti-Government Remarks | Alternative

If Cliven Bundy were the least bit racist, he could have used the most common perjorative of them all, the N-word. Then CNN wouldn't have had to go to the effort to doctor his video. But he never touched it. So they went to Plan B instead and tried to alter what he said, and smear him.

You are wrong. White privilege shows itself in many ways, not just monetarily.

What's sad is that poor white people are so blinded by hatred and racism that they don't realize they have more in common with poor black people than they do the rich white Republicans they worship (and who use their lack of education to control them).
