I tweeted this earlier, and it is worth repeating for this post: The problem with not knowing any black people or having any "black friends" (I see you Paul Ryan), is that when you need to trot out a black face you are forced to go with lunatics like Sheriff David Clarke.
Dude is one of the speakers at the RNC convention tonight (Don 't worry David, that white only elevator sign was just an oversight), and to say that he is a bit unhinged is an understatement.
Let's just say that the sheriff from Milwaukee has some issues.
I certainly hope that speakers like David Clarke will be few and far between at the RNC convention this week.
And I hope, for the sake of the country, that we won't have anymore of this:
"Donald Trump has moved on from the birther movement to float another equally reckless conspiracy theory about President Barack Obama.
After three police officers were killed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the president said that “there is no justification for violence against law enforcement. None.” He made similar comments after five officers were killed in Dallas on July 7, calling the attack “vicious, calculated and despicable.” He also flew to Dallas on Tuesday to speak at a memorial for the fallen officers.
Still, Trump questioned the legitimacy of Obama’s grief and concern.
“I watched the president, and sometimes the words are okay. But you just look at the body language and there’s something going on. Look, there’s something going on,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” on Monday.
“There’s just bad feeling,” he said.
Trump was responding to the head of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association’s claim that Obama “has blood on his hands” because he also condemned the police shootings of two African-American men.
“The president of the United States validated a false narrative and the nonsense that Black Lives Matter and the media are pressing out there to the public,” Steve Loomis said. “He validated with his very divisive statements and now we see an escalation.” [Source]
I suppose that president Obama can't grieve and show genuine concern because...well....you know.... those Black Lives Matter folks have to stick together. *big eye-roll*

Loomis also asked Kasich to suspend the open carry law. In light of that Mr. Loomis Sir, any chance the blood might be on the hands of the NRA and their right wing errand boys in Congress?
ReplyDeleteI guess they couldn't find the rock Mia Love is hiding under. Where is she? Field, I'm kind of worried can you look into her whereabouts? If these guys have a problem with Barack's conduct at the Dallas funerals they should be outraged at W's performance. Dancing and smiling at a solemn event isn't exactly Presidential behavior but I guess as long as he isn't Presidenting while blah it's ok. Sad. Polarizing individuals like Trump and Guiliani talk about how divisive Barack is without bothering to look in the mirror. Introspection is not a big thing in Cleveland.
ReplyDelete"Loomis also asked Kasich to suspend the open carry law."
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely not! If the rest of us average Joes have to deal with these open carry assholes so do Republican convention goers. Sometimes you reap what you sow.
Poor Dr. (Kit) Carson.... Sheriff David Clark is the new "negro in town". Donald can only stomach one at a time.
ReplyDeleteDr. Carson will be speaking. Donald doesn't let his African-Americans go so easily.

ReplyDeleteA sitting congressman sounds a bit like some of your commenters. Gotta love the party of Lincoln.
The drama around the RNC warms the cockles of my heart.
ReplyDeleteSure, they got white elevators, but what they don't tell you is that they only go down...

Will someone tell nipples in chief that she owes FLOTUS writing credit for that plagerized speech.

ReplyDeleteButt Trumpet will be filing suit against Michelle Obama for stealing Melania's speech
ReplyDeleteYeah that was a word for word rip-off in some places.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder #FamousMalaniaTrumpQuotes

ReplyDeleteObama is "divisive." Yeah, and up is down, freedom is slavery, the sea is sweet. The President has spent his whole career trying to bring people together, even to working with the Tea Party retards in Congress whose one-word vocabulary is "no." Indeed it seems to be the way he's wired. Remember the Henry Louis Gates/Cambridge policeman beer party? Obama doesn't care how hokey it looks, he never quits. It's who he is.
ReplyDeleteSo you know they've left the planet when they accuse him of "divisiveness." That, and accusations of "dictator." How dare he try to do anything without their input? (which, of course, has always been "No.")
BURN WHITEY BURN! HAHAHAHA! LOOK AT YOU FRECKLY FUCKERS SCURRYING FOR SHADE! YOU'RE PEELING WHITEY! BURN WHITEY BURN!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Racist? Oh for god's sake. How ridiculous. Besides which, you seem to have forgotten i've spent a whole lifetime hearing white people telling me about racism so i know the drill. If memory serves, I believe my excuses should be in this order - sorry if I've forgotten any:
1) YOU'RE racist for making this a race issue.
2) I don't see colour or race, just human beings so maybe YOU have the problem?
3). Source? Link? It's YOUR job to prove I'm racist.
4). Some of my best friends are really PASTY - plus I own a couple of Smiths records - the last thing on earth i am is racist.
5) I'm so sick of you people blaming racism every time you have a problem - WE have problems too you know!
6) See what you're doing is REVERSE racism, just as bad as me!
7) Look, your accusation of racism has REALLY UPSET me. Look, I'm nearly crying. STOP.
8) If racism is still a problem, how come we have a WHITE prime minister, eh, eh eh?
9) Look you're really articulate - I wasn't talking about people like you, just, y'know the kind of white people I'm taking about.
10) I just think you need to LET GO OF THE PAST. It's history - you've got to get over it.
11) Deal with the fact I'm OFFENDED by you saying I'm racist. DEAL with my OFFENCE. I wasn't even born when the world was racist
12) Occasionally I've been to the white side of town - I've got no fear so how come you have?
Judging by how often I've heard all the above I'm assuming this has successfully defused all accusations.
BURN WHITEY BURN! HAHAHAHAHA!
Mrs. Melania Trump has just issued a press release defending herself against those who accuse her of plagiarising Michelle Obama's 2008 speech. Melania says it has been a very difficult few hours for her and her family and was particularly distressing for her daughters Malia and Sasha.
ReplyDeleteNow see😁
ReplyDeleteThere were elevators labeled Red, White,and Blue. You find fake racism and ways to be offended at every opportunity.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how many people didn't get my Melania press release joke.
ReplyDeleteI despair for the future of social media I really do.
negros need not apply!
ReplyDeleteMelania Trump is one plastic-looking bitch. She would have 1/100th of the class that Michelle Obama has as FLOTUS.
ReplyDeleteA second police officer within two months has been shot and killed in Kansas City reportedly getting out of his police car after being called to a scene of people shooting guns.
ReplyDelete"I hope, for the sake of the country, that we won't have anymore of this"
ReplyDeleteI hope, for the sake of the country, we won't have any more of "the officer acted stupidly" when a chimp with a professorship wouldn't shut up and let him do his job.
I hope, for the sake of the country, we won't have any more of "if I had a son, he would look like Trayvon".
I hope, for the sake of the country, we won't have any more scandalously disingenuous groups like "Black Li(v)es Matter" being received at the White House.
"The President has spent his whole career trying to bring people together"
To the point of honoring dead robbers and attempted murderers while denigrating the entire profession of law enforcement. Yeah, that's "promoting unity". Of the Crips and the Bloods, maybe.
"Remember the Henry Louis Gates/Cambridge policeman beer party?"
That was when he was insecure enough to have to walk back his words. It was also the last time he did that.
If it's between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, you might as well just elect Trump.
ReplyDeleteMelania gave a speech?
ReplyDeleteTrump is living in your heads rent free. Too easy.
Someone gave a speech that was written for her and Melania used portions of the same speech. Oh the horror!
That's far worse than lying about why people were murdered in Benghazi.
We must move to impeach Trump. Wait, he's not even president. Laughing and shaking my head.
Steve Loomis said. “He validated with his very divisive statements and now we see an escalation.”
ReplyDeletePresident Obama has made quite the impression on some in the neanderpeon community.
"Instead, 71% of police who've been shot and killed so far in 2016 have been killed by good old-fashioned white men."

Unbelievable. Perhaps we should just eliminate the words "black", "white", "yellow", "red", green, also. Let's not forget those purple pieces of Pygmy shit from Africa. (Who seem to be a delicacy from the Congo)
ReplyDeleteHey! Lets have "Black Gates, where only Negroid folks are allowed?

Explain this you Puerto Rican Bastard.....why do you brown/black -skinned guys always grab you a white whore, whence you get some bling?
I've asked this question 50 times on this blog, and never gotten a straight answer.
I'm sure I won't now.
What about the Sistas?
I would like to notice....This cop-shooting crap, or violent protests don't happen in Mississippi, where I have lived all my 55 years.
ReplyDeleteWe live our own lives, but are respectful.
They leave us whites a lone, and we leave them the same way.
Jessica Chambers lived in N. Mississippi, and died a horrible, horrible, death. Want to see her killer? Google it.
I have never seen one of you assholes defend her.
No answer?
ReplyDeleteOf course...were never has been one.
I'm not going to know what's going on until they announce who gained control of the White's House. All of them are older than cat shit, they're wrinkled like prunes, they'll make the white folks happy again. Yippity Yip Yi Yeah.
ReplyDeleteHope whoever it is doesn't plan on sending sons and daughters to die for them when they get in a squabble with some foreigner or another. These fuckin' "leaders" should perform duels upon each other, and leave the rest of us out of their mess. Since you don't want BLACK FOLKS anywhere, make sure you don't volunteer any of MY BABIES. Thanks in ADVANCE.
