Liberal Madison(Wi) Talk Show Host Calls Condi Rice Aunt Jemima !!!

I think Belafonte called both Rice and Powell "house slaves", as I recall.

So liberal talk radio and liberal media are overtly and publicly using racism to attack the future US Secretary of State because she has dark skin and African features?

This is the best (or worst) elite liberal journalists and intellectuals can offer as an alternative discourse to conservatism?

Will the USA be amending our definitions of hate speech and our EOT training programs to allow for racist public statements and lampoons against people of certain political views- since the media reps claim it is "permissible" by the black majority, of course.

Uncle Tom wasn't a bad guy, either, so is calling someone "Uncle Tom" a compliment?

[somerville]

Couldn't tell you when Aunt Jemima became negative. To me, she is a very cozy figure.

[Calpernia]

Nancy Green was born a slave in Montgomery County, Kentucky in 1834. Her given name was Nancy Green, but the world knew her as "Aunt Jemima." Although the famous Aunt Jemima recipe was not hers, she became the advertising world’s first living trademark. She was attractive, friendly, a good storyteller, and an excellent cook. Her ability to project her warm and appealing personality made her the ideal "Aunt Jemima."

The tethering will come when a) they get fired due to complaints b)listership/viewership decreases (it is)and they get fired.

[politicalwit]

Time to get a list of their advertisers and make the appropriate calls and emails.

[Calpernia]

bump to that being true.

[somerville]

You just can't win, with libs, can you ?

If Bill Clinton had hired Rice, the media would be praising him to the heavens.

[Stashiu]

I remember when Aunt Jemima came to our elementary school. She told stories and sang the song "Tammy". We were a school of all races. We all enjoyed it and no one expressed outrage.

For me, she evoked a warm and caring mother figure, but then, this was the '50's.

[fish hawk]

In a way this may be a good thing. The "blue" people are showing the minorities who they really are and what they really feel. This can only bring good to the President. A lot of blacks and Hispanics will turn red.

Here is the management's email, but if you notice below the Program and Operatios Director has the same last name as the radio host. Same guy or a relation?

[Dr Snide]

oh look, he included an nice list of boycott targets at the bottom of his page, looks like I found something to do today

[Nataku X]

Look at her history. She was created as a household slave/cook... think "Mammy" in "Gone with the Wind". Nothing negative about her character, but it's the female equivalent of "Uncle Tom".

[madameguinot]

Thanks. I just read his bio and this has got to be a copycat crime. The guy is a cretin and couldn't have come up with this on his own!

C'mon Dane County, get on the phones and bury this guy!

[TheSpottedOwl]

Aunt Jemima? Massa Rumsfeld? Uncle Tom? Boob?

Oh, but since black listeners gave him permission, it's okay to be a racist asshole. Now would all the black listeners who gave this guy "permission", step forward?

Thanks to people like him, not to mention untalented cartoonists, we're in for a long ride...

[Calpernia]

Then lets embrace it as a compliment. Aunt Jemina was a warm and caring mother figure of the '50's.

Condi Rice is today's role model.

That should defuse the venom for the intended words of that liberal piece of trash.

Reverse propaganda.

[Oblongata]

His name is not Sly Slyvester. It's just Sly. He's been a fixture of madison radio for 20 years. I used to listen to his morning show on the way to school in the early 90's, when I was younger and dumber. He's not a die hard liberal either. Call him Liberal with a little common sense.

[bholaway]

Yep, he sure did. Nice of him :)
