I have lived all my life either in the South or West Virgina which is as redneck as you'll ever find...

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard the word "nigger" I would be a very rich man... I've seen the change in the language over the years because calling black folks "niggers" was out so an entire new vocabulary and narrative has been created that says "nigger" without saying "nigger"... It's all ***code talk***... We white Southerners all know it...

In various locations "nigger" has been replaced with local code talk... "Cheps" and "Boofers" are a couple... Hey, every racist who is trying to not sound like a 50s or 60 racists has his or her code names down... It's still "niggers"... Just different unflattering nouns...

The Republican Party has brought back the old "Welfare Cadillac" bullshit in the name of "Food Stamp President"... That is code talk for "Obama is a nigger and he's taking our money to give to other niggers"... This is 100% reality... We Southern boys know the deal...

I've tried to tell LH these things but he seems intent on playing the same old shit tune rather than take it upon himself to delve into what I'm know to be Southern reality... I mean, I like LH... He's really cool... But he also has an ignorant side that won't allow him to get beyond his default positions that, frankly, are the last war...

There is a reason why the South votes Republican... Lyndon Johnson explained it very well... He told us that in the Dems voting for the Civil Rights Act that it would suffer in the South for decades to come... Lyndon knew of what he said....

This ain't even arguable to anyone willing to push their default positions aside and say, "Sheet fire... There is something real stinky down South"... Yeah, there is... I have spent many an hour here going back years trying to ***educate*** folks on what I have grown up in... It is stinky... Very stinky... I understand it... I have gotten my ass kicked by rednecks for being a "nigger lover" (Google it up)... My mother got her ass kicked for it...

Ya'll say you don't understand it???

Fuck!!!

If ya'll don't understand it it ain't my fault... I have gone to the wall over and over and over trying to explain it... It's real as yesterday...

Some of the Republicans' supporters are definitely against Obama partly because he's black, McGrath. I wouldn't be surprised if at least half of them felt that way. But they are MAINLY against him, first and foremost, because he's a Democrat! ;-) The fact that's he's "black" just gives them an additional reason to dislike him, that's all. I think that was Chongo's point.

Bobert, I do understand that you are confronted with extraordinary levels of racism (open or camouflaged) where you are living, and I can understand how much it troubles you. It's just not like that up here in Canada...or in most other places either. The USA has such a traumatic history in regards to black & white race relations that it's a whole different ballgame down there from what it is in most other places.

McGrath suggested an interesting possibility, one which I think we may yet see happen. What if the Republicans ran a black man or woman for president? They might do that if they had the right person and they thought they could win that way. A black woman Republican would be the ultimate candidate to cause the Left in America acute confusion.

What I mean is...a black candidate is a progressive's dream. A female candidate is a progressive's dream. Put the two together. Wow.

Now, the reason I mention this is, I knew a guy from Georgia a few years back. He was an interesting character, into various Hawaiian healing techniques. He was a nice guy, but way far to the Right, politically speaking. What he was really worried about was "big government", the Democrats supposedly being "soft on terrorism", and the creeping "perils" of socialism... ;-) These were all things he identified with the Democrats.

His political views seemed nonsensical in Canada, but I realized they seemed totally normal to him.

Now....he was quite dissatisfied with George Bush. This was during Bush's 1st term, as I recall. But you know who he thought would make the absolute best Republican president? Condoleeza Rice! That's right. This was a super rightwing Republican guy, a working class white guy, and he wanted Condoleeza Rice to be the next Republican president.

Don't think it ain't possible, Bobert. If the Republicans had the right black candidate and they thought that candidate could win, then THEY'D pretend to have the moral high ground, racially speaking, virtually all their traditional supporters would line up behind that candidate, and it would be the Democrats who would have the embarrassment of finding themselves attacking a black candidate...not over his or her color...but just because of the usual bipartisan reasons.

"Republicans would hate him just as much if he was all-white, but the half-black thing is one more handy aspect to the general approach of their supporters hatin' him,"

That seems to mean "Republicans" aren't particularly against Obama because he's black, but "their supporters" are. But surely when people talk about "Republicans" in this kind of context they primarily mean people who are "their supporters" rather than just the registered members of the Republican party?

Surely it can only be "a handy aspect" to Republicans on any definition if they don't really like the idea of a black president. Whereas, on this analysis,if the boot was on the other foot, and the Republican candidate was black - perhaps Colin Powell - that wouldn't be "a handy aspect" but a real problem for "all the white Democrats who want to see themselves as righteous defenders of racial equality"?... (Which in the light of the history of the Democratic Party over its first century or so is a pretty bizzare turnaround!)

AP poll: Majority harbor prejudice against blacks

By The Associated Press
27 October 2012

"...Republicans were more likely than Democrats to express racial prejudice in the questions measuring explicit racism (79 percent among Republicans compared with 32 percent among Democrats) ..."

Of course that's a "cherry picked" extract, special for Krinkle since that's his favorite method.

Those who can read can go to the article to find the full findings, although they're not exactly encouraging even when examined in full. (The survey was performed by credible researchers, but they did try out an unconventional methodology that I'm not sure can be completely trusted without further proofs, so maybe only those who can read and think should bother with it.)

Maybe I can find another citation for the Krink to look at, but I'm sort of busy now.

Bobert... yer perspective is worth hearing. Just one caution. Guys like LH and me, even tho I can't speak for LH and I just assume he is like me in this case... I just can't wrap my head around that kinda shit. I wasn't brought up "that way" and I am sure most every Mudcatter wasn't brought up that way either BUT... in MY case, I never witnessed the shit that you talk about as a first hand witness. Seriously, man, it seems sooo unreal to me. I just cannot really grasp it at a gut level - I can only believe you... and I do.

BUT... ya gotta give LH and guys like me some slack and explain it with examples and support in the present. I know that sounds like a copout but it's the truth... I truly believe that most people, GOOD people, like LH, who haven't seen what you have seen first hand do not have your appreciation (odd term in this circumstance) of the situation.

Sorry, LH. I suppose I did overstep my boundaries but might there be a tiny bit of reality in my plea to Bobert to understand me... MAYBE you... too?

Nah, LH... The level of hate aimed at Obama compared to Clinton makes the 90s look like Woodstock.... No one ever yelled "hang him" at Republican rallies in regards to Clinton... No one ever tried to shout Clinton down during a State of the Union Address... No one stood up in '92 and said that the Republican's #1 goal was to make Clinton a one term president... No Republican dominated Supreme Court stole either the '92 or '96 election...

As per usual on matters of reality, you pick your default position...

The reality is that the Republican have been pumping racist code talk into every discussion out there... The Washington Post wrote an article about this this week and found that there is more racial divide now than any time in the last 24 years... They pointed out thje very same things that I have pointed out...

Racism is in and camped out in the Republican Party... That is reality... Maybe you should read more, LH, and post less until you have a perspective that is more reality based 'cause yer beginning to sound like a '96 or '00 Nadar supporter who has just woke from a coma... Times have changed...

It wouldn't matter what race he was...the Republicans would hate him just as much. Remember how much they hated Bill Clinton? And Hillary Clinton? And Al Gore? It's hate on autopilot....just like Democrats automatically hate a Republican president or candidate. The one hate is a mirror image of the other. If weather was as easy to predict as bipartisan hatred is, we wouldn't need the weatherman! ;-D

The only thing that's different about the situation in Obama's case is that it's very convenient for hate purposes that he happens to also be half-black, that's all. Republicans would hate him just as much if he was all-white, but the half-black thing is one more handy aspect to the general approach of their supporters hatin' him, and that means it does play a useful part for propaganda purposes.

But on the other hand...it also plays a very useful part for Democrats...cos it helps secure the black vote for them and it also helps motivate all the white Democrats who want to see themselves as righteous defenders of racial equality heroically standin' up against that 400 years of oppression...and who are carryin' some historical guilt feelings over what happened back then. They can pat themselves on the back every time they defend Obama, cos they're not just defendin' a man....they're defendin' the entire historical cause of racial equality in America!!! The nightmare of slavery that haunts the American dream.

So, y' see? It's hugely convenient for BOTH the Right AND the Left that Obama is "black" (half-black). It allows 'em both to live out their dearest fantasies of moral righteousness and their mutual paranaoia to the max! It's a political wet dream for the 2 irreconcilable solitudes in a divided America.

Equally outta touch with reality in both cases.

Stop lookin' at him as a race profile and start lookin' at him as a man, folks, cos that is what he is...he's just another human being, period.

On Friday night, ex-Powell chief of staff and Republican Lawrence Wilkerson went on "The Ed Show" and said something that's blatantly obvious to most people, but is rare to hear from inside the GOP:

    "Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists, and the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander-in-chief and president, and everything to do with the color of his skin, and that's despicable."

This thread has drifted a bit.

Back when I was a regular at the Saturday afternoon blues jam sessions at Archie Edwards Barber Shop there would usually be anywhere from 20 to 30 musicians playing all kinds of instruments... One any given Saturday there would be 5 or so folks who were just passing thru Washington, D.C. who had heard of the jam session and wanted to see what it was all about... Now jam sessions, like life in general, can be kinda tricky and the goal was for everyone to feel welcome and to feel they had had an opportunity to lead a song or have a solo or something to take away from the experience...

Now some folks would show thinking that they were the very best blues player in the world when in reality they were quite average... Kinda like the small pond/big pond concept... The barbershop was the big pond... It was all but impossible to stop the jam every Saturday and point out the concepts of "blending", "sharing", "tuning", etc to new comers so what we did when we had someone come in thinking that they were the biggest fish in a big pond was do a song entitled "It Ain't All About You"... I mean, just the sound of 20 folks playing and singing those words usually took care of that situation without actually confronting the player who needed to realize that he or she was now playing in the big pond...

Abortion on demand??? I donno... You either make it available to women or you don't... If you put too many conditions on it then you, in essence, outlaw it...

There was a time when women of means took those little "vacations" (wink, wink) to Mexico... Poor women went to back room abortion clinics and were dieing in large numbers...

American women are going to get abortions... That is a given.... It comes down to equal/human rights... Do women of means trump poor women???

I personally would never approve an abortion of any child I fathered but that just means that I have confined my sex to wives...

McGrath's remark is one I'd like an answer to also. Every time I do those 'where do you fit on the political spectrum' things on the internet I end up being in the libertarian quadrant.

I disagree with abortion on demand, agree with universal health care, think that capital punishment is wrong but right in specific circumstances, hate unlimited capitalism, value the worth of all people, think that religion and politics should not be sleeping in the same bed, dislike the stupidities that lead to war, would refuse the government's right to send my children to most foreign wars, believe that a graduated tax is fair, and all education should be free from kindergarten to the ability of the individual.

I value garbage collectors as much as doctors, dentists as much as truck drivers and philosophy/art as much as engineering/singing. I believe in a world where people are judged not by their colour but by the conduct of their character. I think 'judgeship's should be earned, not appointed, and if as an elected official you use the office to screw the people who elected you, then you deserve to be fed to rabid dogs.

If that makes me libertarian, why am I in almost-total disagreement with the Libertarian Party?
