Mark Williams expelled from Tea Party.

[Sovereign]

Over a blog post he addressed to Abraham Lincoln...

Dear Mr. Lincoln
We Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don’t cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!
In fact we held a big meeting and took a vote in Kansas City this week. We voted to condemn a political revival of that old abolitionist spirit called the ‘tea party movement’.
The tea party position to “end the bailouts” for example is just silly. Bailouts are just big money welfare and isn’t that what we want all Coloreds to strive for? What kind of racist would want to end big money welfare? What they need to do is start handing the bail outs directly to us coloreds! Of course, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only responsible party that should be granted the right to disperse the funds.
And the ridiculous idea of “reduce[ing] the size and intrusiveness of government.” What kind of massa would ever not want to control my life? As Coloreds we must have somebody care for us otherwise we would be on our own, have to think for ourselves and make decisions!
The racist tea parties also demand that the government “stop the out of control spending.” Again, they directly target Colored People. That means we Colored People would have to compete for jobs like everybody else and that is just not right.
Perhaps the most racist point of all in the tea parties is their demand that government “stop raising our taxes.” That is outrageous! How will we Colored People ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn? Totally racist! The tea party expects coloreds to be productive members of society?
Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house. Please repeal the 13th and 14th Amendments and let us get back to where we belong.
Sincerely

This is more racist than Mel Gibson.

what a tool

That whole thing was incredibly stupid. What a dumbass racist.

 

[Viggy]

When even the Tea Party doesn't want you, you know you're ****ing trash.

 

[Phil]

I don't know who is more stupid. The racists or the people who are so offended by racism.

What the ****?

How is being offended by racism "stupid"?

Racism, to me, is just another form of insults, just taking it to a personal level. People need to stop getting so offended by them both, I think.

 

[Sammamish]

I think what he means to say is that people like the SPLC and anti racists in general act like their open minded and for justice and are just as bad as the racists. Even though said guy is a DBag and making crude attempts at racism.

I suppose the Tea Partiers aren't as racist as everyone erroneously accuses them of being.

I suppose the Tea Partiers aren't as racist as everyone erroneously accuses them of being.

This could be overly cynical on my part, but I suppose the Tea Partiers actually care enough about PR to make a big show of erroneously denying that which they are.

"We don't want no welfare queens moochin' off teh gubmint teat...but keep the gubmint off my Medicare!"

It's kinder and gentler, to be sure, but just like "compassionate conservatism" getting used as a euphemism for "to hell with anyone but the haves and have-mores," the get-the-welfare-queens-out-of-my-pocket mentality belies the racist stereotype of blacks as shiftless and lazy, and calls attention to the (erroneous) assumption that only "those people" i.e. minorities use welfare. A majority of those on social services are white.

Any moral individual should be "offended" whenever he hears a racist remark.

Are you saying that if someone told you that jews were responsible for every war on earth and that blacks are stupid, you wouldn't budge? Or if someone was assaulted on the street because of the color of his skin? You wouldn't bother calling 911 then?

No. Just HELL NO. Racism isn't just insulting. Racism is the KKK, lynchings, Slavery, beating up someone due to skin colour. Racism is a disgusting act which should not be tolerated in any way. You say all that shit there is just 'insults'? Me calling you an ass is an insult.

**** me, dude,

I don't want people mooching off of welfare either, I suppose that makes me a racist too.

We are all a little racist inside, even when we don't know it or try not to be. Don't deny it because you are lying to yourself.

If someone told me those things you said, I'd laugh at their idiocy.

If I saw anyone being assaulted, I'd call 911. There's idiocy and then there's just violent assault.

Incredibly easy for you to say when you've never experienced racism against you. Racism is a horrible horrible thing, trust me.

And in a time where there are six job seekers for every job opening, what else would you have people on social services rolls do? Starve and die?

To say nothing of people who are actually, you know...disabled and CANNOT work, should they simply roll over and die too?

Yep, it's easy to rail against "THOSE PEOPLE" and "welfare queens" (the two socially acceptable code words for racial slurs), up until the point where you find yourself needing to apply for food stamps. Which, by the way, the government goes out of its way to make the experience as humiliating as possible.

I betcha you don't consider Social Security and Medicare welfare, even though they're evil gubmint programs, because YOU will be utilizing those programs at retirement age, assuming you live in the US.

People who are genuinely disabled or out of work aren't moochers. It's people who just sit on their fat bum all day and refuse to work that I don't want getting money.

I doubt social security is really gonna help me when Im old...all the money will be gone at this rate.
Medicare is a failure, it is losing money, I wont benefit from that in old age either.

Anyway, this is going off topic.

Which is super hard to do btw. There's actually a shit ton of checking into that you are actually looking for a job. There limits arent long at all for how long you can be on it, and it really does do more good than harm. "Mooching" as you put it is very incommom and very difficult to maintain. Hell, its difficult to stay on even if you are legitimately disabled. :/ Unless of course you think people with severe nueropathy and massive back problems arent disabled enough to be on welfare,, in which case, I suppose everyone on it probably is mooching.
