Well done.Can you identify someone who has said that simply disliking Obama is racist?![]()
1) Criticizing the IRS: "Republicans are using [the IRS scandal] as their latest weapon in the war against the black man. āIRSā is the new 'N****r.'" -- Martin Bashir2)
Having a Republican National Convention during a hurricane: "They are happy to have a party with black people drowning." -- Yahoo News Washington bureau chief David Chalian on the Republican National Convention, which was going on at the same time as Hurricane Isaac
3) Wanting to own a gun to prevent break-ins: "I am loathe to bring up what is in our head because we donāt like to talk about it so much. But on this particular day, on Martin Luther King Day, I think this needs to be said. That imaginary person thatās going to break into your home and kill you, who does that person look like? You know, itās not freckle-faced Jimmy down the street, is it really? I mean, thatās not what really, thatās not what really people, we never really want to talk about the racial or the class part of this, in terms of how itās the poor or itās people of color that we imagine that weāre afraid of. Why are we afraid? What is that, and itās been a fear that has existed for a very, very long time." -- Michael Moore
4) Mentioning the "Constitution" or "respect for the Founding Fathers:" "The language of GOP racial politics is heavy on euphemisms that allow the speaker to deny any responsibility for the racial content of his message,ā Williams wrote. āReferences to a lack of respect for the āFounding Fathersā and the āConstitutionā also make certain ears perk up by demonizing anyone supposedly threatening core āold-fashioned American values.ā" -- Juan Williams
5) Calling Obama "angry:" "That really bothered me. You notice (Romney) said anger twice. Heās really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the āotherization,ā heās not like us. I know itās a heavy thing, I donāt say it lightly, but this is ān*ggerization.ā" --TourĆ©
6) Saying that Barack Obama lies: "Surrounded by middle-aged white guys ā a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own menās club ā Joe Wilson yelled āYou lie!ā at a president who didnāt. But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!" -- Maureen Dowd
7) Noting that Obama is privileged: "Spotlighting his elite education is tantamount to racial bigotry because it insinuates that 'he took the place of someone else through affirmative action, that someone else being someone white.'" -- Jonathan Capehart
8) Saying that unions boss Obama around: "The Republican Party is saying that the President of the United States has bosses, that the union bosses this President around, the unions boss him around. Does that sound to you like they are trying to consciously or subconsciously deliver the racist message that, of course, of course a black man canāt be the real boss?" -- Lawrence OāDonnell
9) Supporting voter ID: āIf you go back to the year 2000, when we had an obvious disaster and ā and saw that our voting process needed refinement, and we did that in the America Votes Act and made sure that we could iron out those kinks, now you have the Republicans, who want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws and literally ā and very transparently ā block access to the polls to voters who are more likely to vote Democratic candidates than Republican candidates. And itās nothing short of that blatant.ā -- Debbie Wasserman Schultz
10) Saying "I want my country back:" "Do you remember tea baggers? It was just so much easier when we could just call them racists. I just donāt know why we canāt call them racists, or functionally retarded adults. The functionally retarded adults, the racists ā with their cries of, āI want my country back. You know what theyāre really saying is, āI want my white guy back.ā They apparently had no problem at all for the last eight years of habeas corpus being suspended, the Constitution being [expletive] on, illegal surveillance, lied to on a war or two, two stolen elections ā yes, the John Kerry one was stolen too. Thatās not tin-foil hat time. ā -- Janeane Garofalo
11) Being fans of Herman Cain: "One of the things about Herman Cain is, I think that he makes that white Republican base of the party feel okay, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy. I think he(heās) giving that base a free pass. And I think they like him because they think heās a black man who knows his place. I know thatās harsh, but thatās how it sure seems to me." -- Karen Finney
12) Fighting for the 2nd Amendment: "I believe the NRA is the new KKK. And that the arming of so many black youths, uh, and loading up our community with drugs, and then just having an open shooting gallery, is the work of people who obviously donāt have our best interests [at heart]." -- Jason Whitlock
13) Republicans trying to keep Obama from being reelected:"Look at, look, the Tea Partiers, who are controlling the Republican Partyā¦.Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term. Whatās, what does that, what underlines that? āScrew the country. Weāre going to (do) whatever we (can) do to get this black man, we can, weāre going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.ā⦠It is a racist thing." -- Morgan Freeman
14) Disliking the fact that Obama is President: "They canāt stand the idea that heās president, and a piece of it is racism. Not that somebody in one racial group doesnāt like somebody in another racial group, so what? Itās the sense that the white race must rule, thatās what racism is, and they canāt stand the idea that a man whoās not white is president. That is real, that sense of racial superiority and rule is in the hearts of some people in this country." -- Chris Matthews
15) Disliking Barack Obama: "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that heās African-American." --Jimmy Carter
