noose

It seems as if the health care vote has awakened racism on the right wing as many protesters have turned to civil rights era racist tactics such as calling Black congressmen the n-word and spitting on them. Now right wing activists angry at the recent health care vote have sent faxes of a noose to the office of South Carolina Congressman, James Clyburn.

    Just you wait. There will be more to come. These idiots and “right wing nuts” will stop at nothing to show their displeasure with the president and congress. They will be whining and crying for another 4 years after the 2012 elections.

    “What is racist/wrong about a noose?”

    I guess if you want to get technical, a noose is ‘just’ some rope tied together a certain way…and a cross is ‘just’ two sticks put together, or the American flag is ‘just’ some stars and stripes on some fabric.

    They have no greater purpose or meaning.

    :end sarcasm:

    If you really can’t see what it means (and aren’t just morbidly joking), then I’m surprised you all didn’t also ask “What is a fax?”

    hey i agree with them only someone who is so tensed about racism would let something so small and ignorant like that get to them black people have to realize we have came to far to sink down to their level. STAND ABOVE THEM AND OVER RIDE SOMETHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE IF WE DON’T THEY’LL GO DEEPER THAN THAT

    even though im conservative in no way do I agree with this. These are the same exact tatics the KKK used during reconstruction after the civil war, back then black people voted republican and the kkk was democratic, so they used these tatcis to scare or coerce black politicians into voting the way they wanted them to vote. Although I dont agree with the bill Im glad these black politicians didnt fold under pressure and all that “white supremecy” bs to prevail. I may be conservative but im black first this is ridiculous and un- american

    lord jesus, i show iz glad, deez good democraats is here ta take cares a me!

    Come on, do you people REALLY believe the “right wing” has cornered the market on racism? How many people would have been UP IN ARMS if Glenn Beck made the SAME EXACT comment that Harry Reid made about BHO? I heard no outcry from anyone ON THESE BLOGS, and correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t even recall this blogger even writing about it, and if he did, I’m sure it wasn’t in the same vain or context it would have been, if Rush made the comment. I mean, are we really this collectively, foolish?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    ok Casey, i just doubled checked, and YOU DIDN’T write a blog on the comments made by Harry Reid, but I did run across your Rush says “Kennedy used to have negroes serve him drinks” or coffee. See, same type of remarks, but somehow, Rush was racist in your mind and Reid wasn’t. It is not too wise to think, only people in a particular party thinks one way, while the those in the opposing party has a totally opposing viewpoint.

    Brothers and sisters in does not matter if they are left or right racism is still a major issue for us. I don’t buy that it’s just a few out there. All you have to do is look at our neigborhood’s.How in the hell do all of these guns and drugs get in? How can a poor person from a so-called 3rd world country get a business loan with no credit,but you and I who are born
    and raise here get nothing.Don’t by into that crap that blacks are lazy.And don’t think that Mr.Obama is gonna save you.Some of you need to stop watching B.E.T,Disney,VH1 and MTV and but develop Your Bulls**t meter.Watch
    the news local and cable they are going after blackmen like crazy. Saying blackwomen have Higher rates of HIV and so on. Don’t belive it. And this Black and Brown colition is a joke. Latins only want us to stand with them
    when it benifits them same for whitewomen and Gays and Jews. When are we gonna learn that we need to take a stand against hate. If you still think that their gonna let Obama do anything to help us your crazy.Look how the media defends Rush,Beck,Hannity,O’reilly etc,But lie on Rev.Wright and we said nothing. This past weekend in Chicago Tavis Smiley had a forum about black issues and what could Obama and the Dems do the media did not cover it.Why? Because they don’t want a large group of people standing with us when it comes to our issues. I betcha if Farrakhan said the word Jew they would have cover it. I’m telling you we gonna get F**ked I can see it coming. Just remember it does not matter if your are Left or Right,you’ll still a n****r to them. Wake up Black America!!!

    Wow, what if someone took that fax of the noose, drew a picture of a white person with their neck in it and sent it back to the person who faxed it? Oh, that would REALLY make ‘em made then, huh? Or what about taking the spit thrown on the congressman’s back, run over to the folks that did it and rub it all on their faces, it belongs to them anyway, they should have it back :-)).

    Though I completely understand the racist implications of symbols like the noose, I refuse to let them invict fear into my heart. We as a people have to learn to move past allowing white folk to intimidate us with these symbols. If I ever see a noose come near me, I’m lighting a match and burning it and throwing it back! TAKE THAT!!!
