Black Lawmaker Apologizes to Sarah Palin
October 1st, 2008
Black lawmaker apologizes to Sarah Palin.
Florida Democrat Alcee Hastings, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, says he regrets his verbal slap-down of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin last week when he essentially called her a redneck and a racist in the same breath. Speaking to a group of Blacks and Jews, the lawmaker quipped, “If Sarah Palin isn’t enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damn well had better pay attention,” Hastings said. “Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and Blacks. So, you just think this through.” In a statement he released Tuesday, Hastings said, “I regret the comments I made last Tuesday that were not smart and certainly not relevant to hunters or sportsmen.” Hastings was addressing the National Jewish Democratic Council where he was urging those in attendance to support Obama over Palin. Of course it was just the kind of comment to evoke the rage of the Republican Party. Matt Brooks, who is executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, said Hastings “stooped to the worst kind of divisive politics. There should be no place in our country for this sort of political discourse. We can constructively disagree on the issues without denigrating others.” But Hastings didn’t completely back down from his earlier comments. “The point I made, and will continue to make, is that the policies and priorities of a McCain-Palin administration would be anathema to most African Americans and Jews,” he said in his statement. “I regret that I was not clearer and apologize to Governor Palin, my host where I was speaking, and those who my comments may have offended.”

First of all, do you know that Obama’s mother is white, and that his white grandmother raised him?
Do you know any of his stances on the issues before you even watched the first debate?
Do you know that the President is only 1/3 of the total government?
Do you know that evolution is fact, and that life started as single celled organisms billions of years ago?
If not, then get to the studying.
UMlaw:
DO KNOW WHAT A BORE YOU ARE? DO YOU KNOW THAT? DO YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE JUST AS MANY RACIST ASIANS AS RACIST BLACKS? DO YOU KNOW THAT? DO YOU KNOW THAT NOT ALL ASIANS AS SMART? DO YOU KNOW THAT? DO YOU KNOW THAT BLACK PEOPLE HAVE EXCELLED IN EVERY FACET OF LIFE? DO YOU KNOW THAT? DO YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE TO EDUCATION THAN JUST STUDYING TEXT BOOKS? DO YOU KNOW THAT? DO YOU KNOW THAT LIFE EXPERIENCE IS EDUCATIONAL AS WELL? DO YOU KNOW THAT? DO YOU KNOW THAT A LOT OF BLACK PEOPLE WOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA EVEN IF HE WAS WHITE? DO YOU KNOW THAT? DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT BLACKS OPINIONS OR IS YOUR POINT TO WAIT FOR RACIAL ISSUES AND THEN POUNCE ON THE BLACK POSTER THAT EVEN APPROACHES A PRO-BLACK OPINION? IS THAT YOUR INTENT?

yall need to fall off of Palin………and as far as her daughter not being married and pregnant wat’s da big deal as many black ppl (especially teenagers) out here having babies and not married……….yall aint got nuttin da say about dat.
Cherry,
Do your research about Palin then come back and post an intelligent comment Or just listen to her interviews and debate and you will see that she ain’t the one. She’ s not even smarter than a fifth grader. Nobody is gonna “fall off of Palin” until she goes home to Alaska where she belongs.
If Sarah Palin ever comes to Alabama to campaign for John McCain, she’ll do it while wearing an Auburn T-shirt. That’s how much of a redneck she is. GOBAMA! ROLL TIDE!

Michelle Obama’s R.a.c.i..s.t T.h.e.s.i.s
(aka the f.e.c.e.s thesis)
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, aka Michelle Obama wrote a “Thesis” while a senior at P.rince.ton entitled “P.rinc.eton Educated B.l.a.c.k.s and the B.l.a.c.k Co.m.mun.ity” If you go to the Prin.cet.on website, they have blocked access to it until AFTER the election! We have the photocopies of it HERE! Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 & Part 4 .
To summarize, Michelle Obama stated that to “whites at Pri.ncet.on, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be b.l.a.c.k first”. However, it was reported by a fellow b.l.a.c.k classmate, “If those whites at P.rinc.eton really saw Michelle as one who always would be b.l.a.c.k first, it seems that she gave them that impression”.
More alarming is Michelle’s use of the terms “s.e.p.e.r.a.t.i.o.n.i.s.t” and “i.n.t.e.g.r.a.t.i.o.n.i.s.t” when describing the views of b.l.a.c.k.s. Michelle clearly identifies herself with a s.e.p.e.r.a.t.i.o.n.i.s.t point of view. Michelle Obama stated, “By actually working with the b.l.a.c.k l.o.w.e.r class or within their communities as a result of their i.d.e.o.l.o.g.i.e.s, a s.e.p.e.r.a.t.i.o.n.i.s.t may better understand the desperation of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an .i.n.t.e.g.r.a.t.i.o.n.i.s.t who is i.g.n.o.r.a.n.t to their p.l.i.g.h.t”. It is obvious that Mrs. Obama has a chip on her shoulder and whites are the problem, not the solution.
Michelle Obama not only s.e.p.a.r.a.t.e.s whites and b.l.a.c.k.s in society, but she elevates b.l.a.c.k.s over whites in her world. “There is no doubt in my mind that as a member of the b.l.a.c.k. c.o.m.m.u.n.i.t.y, I am obligated to this community and will u.t.i.l.i.z.e all of my present and future resources to benefit the b.l.a.c.k community first and foremost”. As F.i.r.s.t L.a.d.y, she would have numerous resources to reach this goal. Again, not exactly “f.i.r..s.t la.d.y.” material!
Then Michelle Obama appears to demand a.f.f.i.r.m.a.t.i.v.e action policies that we f.e.a.r from an Obama administration. “P.r.e.d.o.m.i.n.a.t.e.l.y white universities like Pr.ince.ton are s.o.c.i.a.l.l.y and academically designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments”.
The conclusion of Michelle’s thesis is even more a.l.a.r.m.i.n.g.! Mrs. Obama’s poll of b.l.a.c.k a.l.u.m.n.i concludes that other b.l.a.c.k students at Princeton do not share her obsession of being b.l.a.c.k. But rather than celebrate, she is h.o.r.r.i.f.i.e.d that the b.l.a.c.k alumni identify with our common American culture more than they value the color of their skin. “I hoped that these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of identification with whites as a result of the education and occupational path that b.l.a.c.k Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the b.l.a.c.k community. However, these findings do not support this possibility”. Thankfully, it is no surprise that most b.l.a.c.k alumni ignored her r.a.c.i.s.t questionnaire. Only 89 students out of 400 filled out t.he questionnaire. .
Michelle Obama, in her own words, does not look out into a crowd at a political rally and see Americans, she sees whites and b.l.a.c.k.s. It is no wonder they chose Rev. W.r.i.g.h.t as a pastor, because his comments and his church’s mission statement go right in line with her thesis. Promotion of the b.l.a.c.k r.a.c.e. at ANY cost! If she didn’t consider her inner thoughts of this thesis being revealed a l.i.a.b.i.l.i.t.y, then why did she have access to the thesis blocked at the P.rinc.e.ton website until November 8th. A few days AFTER the n.a.t.i.o.n.a.l P.r.e.s.i.d.e.n.t.i.a.l election on November 4th
Why shouldn’t there be a place for this type of discourse in this country? This country was founded on the principle that there should be room to engage in free speech including criticism of government when necessary, and more specifically presidential candidates. The candidates themselves engage in this type of “discourse.” In many cases, their comments can be percieved as much more scathing than the ones noted above. No one has stooped lower than the republican party when it comes to divisive tactics both electoral and in general politics. This on the heels of Palin’s description of Obama as befriending “terrorists?” Where is there room for that?!
I am suprised to see so much ignorance and hatred on this forum. Let’s just get it out of the way and come to the conclusion that any white politician, entertainer, or person, according to the bloggers on this forum are evil and racist, and anyone who is black does not have to know anything about the person other than the fact that they are white. You will be applauded for your ignorance and hate on this site, as long as it is directed at white people, hooorayy!!!!!
she is not apologize for what she saying about obama .when she now it not true what about mccain she need to look at his past and who he was pal with before she start talking .AND YES SHE IS A REDNECK she try to start a business and guess what the name was redneck look it up
If the shoe fits… on October 9, 2008 Why should he apologize for what he said, it’s true! Has everybody forgotten what Sarah Plain said after Obama win the primary? I quote: “So Sam-bo beat that Bitch!” You do the math!
I am greatly saddened by the comments below. I am a white woman, married to a black man. I have two mixed children and one of them could be Obama’s twin. If I hunt, I am now a racist. These comments make me frustrated. Aren’t we stretching things just a little bit, and for what. My children have experience racism so I not saying it doesn’t exist anymore, but let’s be truthful about it. Sarah Palin is no more racist than I am. Give me a little more than she likes to hunt. . .
ALL Phuking neegs cant face the facts………….
UMLAW THE SQUID… IS AN “ASIAN REDNECK” THAT THINKS HE’S WHITE, SARAH PALIN IS A” WHITE REDNECK” RICHARD STEELE IS A ” HOUSE NEGRO” .I HOPE THIS CLEARS UP SOME CONFUSION.
