NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 http://news.yahoo.com/s/realclearpolitics/..._uppity_slur?45 And as for Walker's claim that McKinney has caused embarrassment to Georgia, [John] Evans said: "He must be talking about white folks or uppity black folks."[emphasis added] How do black people get away with this sort of thing anyway? If this had been a white politician that said something like this he'd face universal condemnation and probably have to resign. This scumbag runs off at the mouth and nothing happens. Why?

Uh, outside of his trip to Iran with the Holocaust deniers, I haven't seen or heard much of him in the news. A simple Google search of the news shows that the only other (outside of the story that he was going to Iran) was a David Duke story from 2004. He was on CNN being interviewed as a part of that story of his trip to Iran. I do believe he was interviewed in Tehran too if I remember correctly. Should he be in obscurity? Yes. So should McKinney? Yes. Is a lazy media going to pick up on a non-issue because it has something to do with race and shove it down our throats until we can't stand it (a la the non issue of Michael Richards and his usage of a word) because it creates a cheap buzz, gets people talking -- outraged that it is even being covered and otherwise -- ? Absolutely. It's a non-issue for both Duke and McKinney. Who cares what their outgoing views are? They're not in any frame of power any more and are just getting used to create fake wedge issues when there are plenty of real ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This issue has a lot more to do with just McKinney and I only bring it up as an example. My overall question is why is it alright for blacks to make racist remarks and not whites? Recall that when the Seinfeld guy ( I forgot his name already ) made his famous rant against blacks it was preceeded by those 2 poor victims of his racist bile calling him a cracker and insulting him? How do people like Al Sharpton get away with calling Jewish people "evil interlopers" and still be revered by many as a crusader for civil rights? ( I cant keep a straight face when trying to put that name in the same sentence as anything positive ) Why is it alright to refer to white people as crackers and honkeys but if white people use racial slurs against blacks they are the personification of evil?

It must be since few people seem to care or pay attention when minorities make racist comments.

Balta1701 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I would think the fact that she lost her election, again, is at least decent evidence that there are more people who care about it than it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, and that's why I was one was on the few people who said that what Michael Richards did was not news back when it happened. Tis funny though to see all those "OMFG, he said n*****!" people that were outraged really not getting upset here too. Hypocrites. But that said, McKinney and all this is still not news.
