Louisiana rep to civil rights veteran: “Talk to you later, Buckwheat”

Her party is identified in the second sentence, a practice usually reserved for Republicans but forced upon the AP here by the electoral ramifications of the incident. The curious thing is that it wasn’t said in anger; on the contrary, she said it at the end of a conversation expressing her gratitude for the subject’s GOTV efforts on her behalf. One of the stranger racist incidents you’ll ever hear of: ...


Okay, where's all the outrage? Why isn't this ALL OVER the MSM, The View, Larry King Live, etc.???

She said she’d gone to Walmart a couple of days ago and bought an Eddie Murphy tape and that’s what they said on the tape.” Well, at least she didn't call her Gumby, dammit.

I thought he pronounced it "Buh-weet"
O-tay!

Same old Lefty Double Standards... Not a peep from Jesse or Al...

Being a Democrat grants you permanent immunity, look at sheets Byrd. :rolleyes:

Good old Robert Byrd.

In 1942, 24-year-old Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), whose parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, he had witnessed in his childhood. He was unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops, or leader, of his local chapter.

Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military: "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

"The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia" and "in every state in the nation."-- Robert Byrd, 1947, in a letter to the Grand Wizard.

Byrd joined with other Southern and border state Democrats to filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1964, personally filibustering the bill for 14 hours.

"I think we talk about race too much. I think those problems are largely behind us ... I just think we talk so much about it that we help to create somewhat of an illusion. I think we try to have good will. My old mom told me, 'Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that. There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much."-- Robert Byrd, November 2001.

Byrd is the only Senator to have voted against the nominations of both Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas to the United States Supreme Court, the only two African Americans to have been nominated to the court.

Yep. Sounds like a democreep hero to me.

It is all his fault not hers. Poor ole Eddie just can't get a break.

The offended person said it was as bad as being called the n-word. So now there are two words you can't say to or around a knee grow; even more if you count the derivative nigga and then such oldies as jig, jigaboo, et al.

Won't be long now you can't say anything to such a person on pain of being accused of racism.

Unless yer a Democrat, of course.

Not 'posed to use "niggardly" no mo', neither.

Not 'posed to use "niggardly" no mo', neither.Sometimes I do just to see the reaction. :lol: It's amazing how many people don't know what that word means.

[Riverboat]

I would, 'cept being in a public school and all, I'm betting there isn't one administrator in a hundred who knows that word, then I'd spend the rest of the year fighting a battle against morons. In my line of work, you pick your battles care-ful-ly.

I think I'll start using it, too.

There was a school teacher who used it and got fired. True story.

[mateusrosé]

Not fer nothin', but everyone's being a bit hasty here. I mean, shouldn't we see what this woman referred to as Buckwheat looks like before we cast stones?:D

Was the "civil rights veteran" Cynthia McKinney?
