Post-Racial Acorn Chief Busts Cops
July 25, 2009
President Obama criticized the Cambridge, Mass., police for the incident and arrest of his friend Henry Louis Gates at his residence the other day. The President, acting as ACORN Community Organizer in Chief, stated that the police acted ‘stupidly.’ He had prefaced his remarks by saying that he didn’t know the whole story.
Mr. President, you spoke stupidly.
Pssst! Here’s a trump card.

The only people playing the race cards are idiot white folks like you who wouldn’t know racism if it grabbed you, drug you outside and arrested you on your own damned porch.
fuck you and your race card asshole
Is such language and quick judgment befitting a preacher’s daughter?
Did the President play the race card in his news conference?
Do your experiences with the Cincinnati Police Department prejudice your views of all policemen/women? Have you ever been a cop and experienced working with the public in that capacity?
If you come back, I’ll have more questions.
A. The preacher was my step-father not my father, although my own dad would have washed my mouth out with soap.
B. No, he didn’t. But the media sure has.
C. Yes. No.
Deblite,
Thanks for coming back. I must say that I was quite surprised at the vitriol, especially after reading some on Deblite. It seemed so out of character.
But if that ticked you off, do not visit my own blog, Grandpa John’s. I am just guest blogging here and am trying to be nice!

Vitriol should not surprise you when you rashly and ignorantly denounce valid racial discrimination and the subsequent complaints about discrimination as “playing the race card”.
How you can not see that use of that phrase makes you- and others who use that same line to ignore something they wish not to see, and worse, use the victims of their idiocy as scapegoats- a bigot and and an ass, is beyond me. I stand by my original comment.
Furthermore, I have no intention of reading whatever else you have written. If it is as full of bigoted tripe as your “race card” comment, believe me, I’ve heard it all before, it’s nothing new and would probably sicken me to my very bowels.
Screw you and have a nice day.
What I find so egregious about your comments is that you rashly and ignorantly assume a great deal not in evidence.
The point of the post was that President Obama played the race card, rashly and ignorantly in this case:
Now, I don’t know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts what role race played in that, but I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry. Number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. And that’s just a fact.
As you know, Lynn, when I was in the state legislature in Illinois we worked on a racial profiling bill because there was indisputable evidence that blacks and Hispanics were being stopped disproportionately. And that is a sign, an example of how, you know, race remains a factor in this society. That doesn’t lessen the incredible progress that has been made. I am standing here as testimony to the progress that’s been made. And yet, the fact of the matter is that, you know, this still haunts us.
When the President did this, he played ‘The Boy Who Cried, ‘Wolf.’ It detracts from the seriousness of the subsequent true occurrences.
The same goes for you calling me a bigot. You toss that word out to make it lose its actual meaning. The real bigots get off with a yawn.
As for me being an ass, you have a much better case.
OK.
Define the words “race card”.
Good luck doing that without sounding like a racist prick, but go ahead. Can’t wait.
Still waiting for you to define “race card”.
Hmmm….all silent on the homefront. I wonder why?
