Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh made a blanket statement about Black America today. He said that Black people are depressed and Obama has not helped. Here’s his statement.

LIMBAUGH: I got two more stories in the stack today about how black unemployment is through the roof. Black unemployment is terrible. The black frame of mind is terrible, they’re depressed, they’re down — Obama’s not doing anything for ‘em. How is that hoax and change workin’ for ya? They’re all livid. I mean, they thought there were gonna be an exact 180-degree economic reversal and it’s done nothing but get bad for everybody, but they’re especially upset about it because they look at him as one of them, and now they feel abandoned. And I’m sure Tiger Woods’ choice of females not helping ‘em out with their attitudes there either.

    Well any black person who thought that things were gonna just get better for black people in particular just because Obama got elected was just plain delusional.

    The man’s just another politician, folks.

    For the dimwits who missed the point of the story. RUSH LIMBAUGH is the subject at hand here, not Barack Obama. Who cares whether or not you agree with Barack Obama’s less than a year term in office, we’re analyzing RUSH LIMBAUGH’S racist rhetoric and off the wall subject matter involving Tiger Woods. I’m actually looking at a comment board of men who are obviously agreeing with a racist’s choice of words. Sad, sad, sad. Glad none of you are running for office. Michael Steele is enough…

    Why people continue to put stock in the fallacies spewed out of Limbaugh’s mouth is still beyond me. Those people(black or otherwise) who thought that Obama’s election would immediately make for immediate and wide sweeping change, have no concrete clue on how the system works. To be perfectly honest most folks outside of gossip mongers could care less about who Tiger was sticking. Some black folks will be depressed before, during and well after Obama’s presidency. Get a life.

    First off, and I agree with the statements, all black people are not one. If you do not understand, simply put, the African American community is as divirse as the world can offer. True, we come from the ghetto, suburbs, urban jungles, and more. Some are educated, some are not, some are law abiding citizens and some are in law enforcement. Basically, when will idiots stop trying to place an umbrella over the entire black community. Our values, opinions, taste, and entire lifestyles vary from one to the other. As a whole, we got to do better but at the same time, stop the labeling!

    So glad to know rush knows all black people and what they’re feeling….give me a break this is just nonsense and a way for rush to gain some publicity…it’s time to just start ignoring ignorant people like this

    i think the CBC and many other black politicians are putting ammunition in conservatives mouths but constantly expecting a seperate stimulus packet for African Americans, could you image politicians asking for a stimulus for white americans, everyone would be ready to march.
    when clinton was in office he always gave the CBC anything they wanted ans they called him the first black president for it. the CBC took every bit of money they got from the president and split it among their friends and family while their constituents got poor with more crime in the communities, gangs, unemployment, bad schools so on and so on.
    people always say things were great when the clintons were in office because they gave money to the CBC for wide spread governemnt programs, these programs were ineffective in building a black middle class because it gave out fish rather than teach a person how to fish

    It’s nicethat African Americans have Rush Limbaugh to speak on their behalf.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Lucky_Jester777/ Lucky_Jester777

    RUSH is definatly running out of material to talk about. I think he REALLY thinks people of color really are simple minded.
    WHEN is someone going to pull the plug on this clown… or make it to where he misses a few payments on his electric bill anyway! LOL He needs to take a vacation or two from Talk Radio…
    Since when do ALL black people take into account for other mans issues? (How many stories have we all heard about a white congress-so-and-so cheating about something?)
    This shows just how S.T.U.P.I.D some people are out there… Just because Obama is black,mixed or whatever doesnt mean we sitback to stake a claim to someone… he is the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES! FIRST! Because he is of color shouldnt change the focal point about our issues at hand!

    Rush is a straight up racist. What does Tiger Woods’ choice in women have to do with Blacks being depressed. This says two things to me. One…Rush like many whites, see TIGER as Black. Something we’ve been trying to tell Tiger all along since 97. Two, Rush has a problem with Black men taking white chicks. HAHAHA. This stems from I call “Itty Bitty Pee Pee Complex” or my more politically correct term “Small P***s Inferiority Complex”. When you get down to the root of all of what he says, this is the very root.

    I also agree with Lucky_Jester…Rush is seriously running out of things to talk about so his true racist self is coming out moreso than what it would if he had other issues to talk about to disguise it with. Why is he still around? Obama and Tiger’s stories have nothing to do with me or how I feel about myself. His comments are absurd!

    Whao!! Where to start? This man,ummm,thing,is just totally insane. Maybe he is back on his drugs.
    Ok, enough with insults, but I am just like, at a lost for words because what he said is so insane,mean,vile,andmeant to tear people aprt. First up,I always say those who have a voice via the media are realy powerful in that they can use that chance to rip society apart or build it for everybody. Just think what could be if he would have said something great,true,sane…
    Tiger Woods thing is his hell as Micheal Jordan’s was his and Peter Brant’s is his. If you do not know who Peter Brant is, google him . Next, Obama is not a Great Hope. He is PoTUSA for all Americans. He is not a good luck charm or the Lord Jesus.
    THe economy isbad for all. When it gets better,it will get better for all.We are all Americans. We are all in one country.

    Unfortunately, he’s right about certain things. Unemployment is gettign worse because this generation is a bunch of b*&%ch boys that are just as abusive to their women as white men.
    All of the “brothers” (I’m at using the REAL N word) I see in Brooklyn are soft little girls; won’t do anything but guard white people’s trash and then complain they ain’t getting respect.

    Umm, no one “RESPECTS” the janitor. I’m usually the only black man in a suit in any NYC building I go to. I didn’t even go to college for my current job but used OJT to get where I am as a sw developer.

    I even have a rap album and used to be a DJ but I can’t hang out with bums in ratty jeans.

    And it’s real F’D up that Rush is given all this hip hop illiteracy ammo. Obama and Tiger are some of our only mainstream-accepted “icons.” I refuse to support tattoed clowns with 5th grade educations. And hey Tiger, the black part is better because I say so. It’s served me rather well. I guess you just can’t leave off the American part. Why shouldn’t we move into the offices we helped build the businesses of?

    Get ya S*&T together, my “brothers.” Stop being weak little whiners.

    And by the way, no white Presidents can ignore the other races. How can Obama do it? He has to think about America not blacks. The fact that he’s President means racism doesn’t exist institutionally anymore and that most white people know nothing about slavery only how you b*&^h boys wander around being FRICKING BUMS.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/majestic1070/ majestic1070

    I don’t know why anybody is so surprised about his statement. The truth is Obama hasn’t done anything at all and only the in-denial people gonna disagree with me. Unfortunately, Rush has a point because Black Unemployment doubled then there counterparts once this recession begun.

    I don’t get why some people are actually discussing and debating this idiot’s p.o.v. He’s clearly insane. Stop giving this idiot free press. I won’t even discuss it, because’s he’s stupid and only makes money off of inciting people. He’s a fear mongerer. His audience is racist, hateful yet fearful white people. Anyone else who takes his words to heart is just as dumb as him.

    Good grief, Rush couldnt have been more wrong about this one if he tried!
    -”but they’re especially upset about it because they look at him as one of them, and now they feel abandoned. And I’m sure Tiger Woods’ choice of females not helping ‘em out with their attitudes there either.”

    This is nothing but BS…I would really like to meet the black people that ever considered Kitty Woods one of ‘them’. It just amazes me when I hear black people say..”Hey We just took over golf with Tiger!” That is sooooo disgusting to me..and NOW that he’s knee deep in ‘trouble’ with all his women, they REALLY wanna dump him off on US! We already have all the real black men/women who phuck up in marriages and create scandal for themselves etc…We are NOT taking on this ‘Cublanasian’=confused! young ‘Tiger’…NO Rush, y’all can chalk this one up to your side…He was never on ours in the first place…

    How does a narrow-minded racist like Limbaugh claim to understand black people? The fact that he assumes we all have a group consciousness throws all his credibility out the window right there. The closest thing the Republican party has to a black guy is Steele…and we all know wat his deal is.

    Obama can’t solve or undo in 11 months what the Bush administration took eight years to screw up. I don’t believe McCain or anyone could.

    Also, for the unpteen-hundredth time, it is not Obama’s j.o.b. to “uplift” poor black people, just like it wasn’t George W Bush’s job to uplift poor whites. If you really need a Malcolm X, MLK type figure to “uplift” Black America, don’t hold your breath. But if you’re looking for a leader who can make changes and inspire people within your immediate family and your community, here’s a hint…go look in the mirror.

    oh, and F**k Rush Limbaugh.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sub-Negro/ Sub-Negro

    Regardless of his views on Obama I think black people are still very high on MR. Obama. But he is still a corporate figurehead just like every other president the only thing different is that he isn’t white. Though his jab at Tiger is pretty amusing.

    @Lucky_Jester777 as long as Rush has 20 million listeners he can say and do whatever he wants to. I wish this SOB would run for president though but he would have to give up his radio show which pays him 50 million a year. He’d never do that.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ebyni81/ Ebyni81

    wow he hasn’t croaked yet?? i would think all those drugs he was abusing would take a toll on his old, fat ass heart lol…ok but seriously who gives a f*ck, Limbaugh is an old racist who has a public forum to showcase his ignorance and thanks to freedom of speech he will continue to do so. Nothing this thing says has any impact on how I feel as a black person/woman so who cares let him keep talking who cares? I don’t!

    Since when does that loser care about the “Black state of mind.”

    He’s a racist loser using anything negative about Black people to talk s**t about us!

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

    LOl, who gives a damn about Tiger Woods choice in women, now that was just pure ignorance!! All black people do not have a depressed state of mind!! Yeah its a shame that the numbers of black people who depends on others is high but damn you can say lazy, not depressed!! Im alot of people choose Obama because of his view point and the last time i looke, black was a minority, so we are not the only ones who voted for Obama, all races did including your precious white races, lol!! So yes, im sure people are expecting change but they not putting they f**king life on hold!! I come from a bunch of go-getters, and theres always a plan, we do not depend on noone but ourselves, u old piece of s**t!!

    @imnotfeelingit-Exactly, he is so far removed frm knowing anything truthful about black people

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sankofa-RBG/ Sankofa-RBG

    I don’t like the messenger, but some of his message is right on point. Obama hasn’t done a thing for Africans in amerikkka even though we are the hardest hit by the recession.

    “they’re depressed, they’re down — Obama’s not doing anything for ‘em. How is that hoax and change workin’ for ya?”

    Thank GOD there are some people who are able to discern evil spirits for themselves…and if ever there was one…this man is the face of evil…Even the depressed and downrodden of all colors don’t spend all of their time spewing hatred towards their fellowman…but for someone like this to spew such venomous hatred, he surely must have been raised in a sector that groomed this perception of every minority except those who look like him…despite the fact they may be the sc** of the earth themselves.

    For this, GOD must be looking down with remorse. Nevertheless, he may wish bad things on Black people, but GOD will prevail in His goodness over us all.

    It’s sad…
