I applaud the thousands of people, many of them poor, who traveled from around the country to protest in Jena, La., last week. But what I’d really like to see is a million angry protesters marching on the headquarters of the National Republican Party in Washington.
Enough is enough. Last week the Republicans showed once again just how anti-black their party really is.

Warning: Don't read if you have a heart condition.
And in other news, NPR spiked an interview George W. Bush did with Juan Williams regarding race-issues. Go figure.
And there will be peace.
what the heck does being republican have to do with Jena???
If this was 6 white guys beaing up a black man there would be national marches and rioting AGAINST THE 6 ATTACKERS
Here they want to defend the attackers because they ‘were charged too hard’
Once again if they were white they would be CALLING For attempted murder charges.
This guy is a bigot. But he’s the DNC’s bigot!
I guess brother bob is marching on Virginia where the blacks beat up that white kid too
What is this guys email?
I’d like to drop him a line...
Bob can stuff a sock in it.
and the public lynching of the Duke LaCross students was just okie-dokie with this guy, eh?
unfortunately, they breed.
Herbett is a notorious rascist. He should read all the facts in the case, before blaming the Repubs.
It should be retitled, “The Ugly Side of Self Loathing Black Liberals.” What a jackass. Dan Rather can get a job there after Cuban gets sick of him.
I’ve taken your advice not to read it, but the headline begs the question, “Does the mention of a GOP bad side indicate that a Dem actually thinks the GOP has a good side?”, or was it an oversight?
Bob Herbert will be beating his racist drum until the day he dies. The President could personally call him up, ask for his advice, praise him in public, award him something like the Freedom Medal, and Herbert would probably respond with something like “F-YOU WHITEY!”
These clowns are so transparent. The NY Times has a bloody nose from the Petraeus fiasco so they trot out the race issue to deflect the criticism.
Bob Herbert, New York Times, Dinosaurs.
Thought they’d be out of business because of all of the cut rate advertising they are offering.
Besides, it is a proven fact that the NYT hate Republicans.
It goes far beyond procreation. They also vote.
That is the dumbest pack of lies I have ever read! The problem is that the dumber sheople he’s targeting will buy it hook-line-and sinker.
Bob Herbert and Bull Connor, they’re BOTH Democrats.
Okay, Bob. It’s official. Everything bad that happens in Louisiana is our fault.
Happy?
“Let me recall. Orville Faubus was a Democrat when he opposed the integration of Little Rock High. George Wallace was a Democrat when he stood in the door of the University of Alabama to block integration. The south at the time the Civil Rights Bill was passed by the GOP was solid Democrat and staunch segregation. Without the support of the GOP in congress there would not have been a Civil Rights Bill.”
Kindly allow me to add, a certain tall fellow with a stove-pipe hat who literally gave his life to free blacks from slavery. Seems he was a Republican. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who as a general worked hard for integration of the armed forces, was the one who sent the 101st to Little Rock to enforce the integration order. A Republican.
For all the other comments about the despicable Bob Herbert, he is also a bald-faced liar.
“The radio and television personality Tavis Smiley worked for a year to have a pair of these debates televised on PBS, one for the Democratic candidates and the other for the Republicans. The Democratic debate was held in June, and all the major candidates participated.”
“The Republican debate is scheduled for Thursday. But Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson have all told Mr. Smiley: “No way, baby.”
“They won’t be there. They can’t be bothered debating issues that might be of interest to black Americans. After all, they’re Republicans.”
This fool is totally transparent. When the Black caucus scheduled a debate on Fox, one of the first ones and sure to get attention, who suddenly took off? The democrats.
“You start out in 1954 by saying, ‘N---r, n---r, n---r,’ ” said Atwater. “By 1968, you can’t say ‘nigger’ — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff. You’re getting so abstract now [that] you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things, and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites.”
Damn, Atwater really said that.
If so, that is vile and disgusting.
Bob is a typical liberal fool ... the DNC has promoted the slaughter of unborn black children for deacdes as a means to empower the democrat party, but this fool focuses on something he wants that is unconstitutional. Typical of a man who is a blind sycophant of the leftist democrap party.
Bob is a typical liberal fool ... the DNC has promoted the slaughter of unborn black children for decades as a means to empower the democrat party (yeah, they hide the reality by claiming right to choice, but stats show the majority race having the abortions is black and that suits the dnc for empowerment reasons), but this fool focuses on something he wants that is unconstitutional. Typical of a man who is a blind sycophant of the leftist democrap party.
Hey Bob, DC is a district, not a state. Grow up and get over it.
It aint a black thang
I have one,,will just read comments..SOS
That’s the most frustrating part of articles like this. Few will bother to check the ‘facts’ he presents.
Someone needs to send Herbert a copy of Rev. Perryman’s lawsuit for reparations from the democrats.
m*****-f****** liar placemarker.
Jive turkey... plantation Tom... the man is shameless.
Herbert is a mere Stepin Fetchit for his Democrat massas.
Enjoy yo’ watermelon, boy!
What a disgrace.
As always, some Dim will cite the NY Times story on the Senate floor, which is SOP for fishwrapper hit pieces on Republicans.
I’d like to drop him a line...
I’d like to drop him a line with a noose at the end of it!
oops! make that ‘96 VP debate.
As I recall Al Gore first used Willie Horton ads in the Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) primary. A group separate from the Bush campaign paid for the ads in the general election -- as is their right I believe, but Rats say no I guess.
egregious Clarence Thomas [replaced] the revered Thurgood Marshall
egregious? revered? Hmmm, well at least we got a full-time justice and replaced the one who only worked a couple hours a week.
I've willingly suspended common sense to accept that the nyt employee could have such silly feeeeeeeeeelings.
Just another boilerplate attack piece the Slimes is so famous for.
Every Herbert rant is a sloppy, confused performance. I strongly suggest a collaboration with Dowd. Working together they might light up a 10 watt bulb if they try REAL hard.
Overall I give it a 3 - Its got a bad beat and you can’t dance to it (without hurling)
Where were the left wingnuts while the PRO-AMERICAN, PRO-TROOPS rally was going on in DC?
I can’t think of any significant accomplishment the blacks have had under the Dems - yet that is how they vote by a huge margin.
How does that calculate?
Sure, Herbert is one angry liar and scumbag but he is apparently stupid as well. Why should Republicans care about "issues that concern minorities" (presumably, how to grab more "free" money, "free" stuff, and government "jobs", all paid for by government confiscation from hard-working traditional American families, ie., Republicans) when they get so few votes from minorities? When Republicans offer an olive branch (charter schools and school vouchers, for example) the branch is jerked away and turned into a spanking switch.
Blacks as a group are firmly in the pockets of their Democrat slavemasters, and they seem to be very comfortable there. Herbert is a perfect case in point. Republicans can see this as clearly as anybody else. If Republicans are smart, they'll stick with representing those hard-working, traditional American families who just want government out of their faces and out of their wallets. Blacks who want to join in, as many already have, are always more than welcome.
Lincoln and Eisenhower predated the Southern Strategy. Herbert’s article is about the post-1968 GOP.
the one political party that maintained its anti-communism, thus appealing to southerners, to the end.
What are your thoughts on the post-1968 GOP?
Lincoln and Eisenhower predated the Southern Strategy. Herbert’s article is about the post-1968 GOP.
Do agree with this quote from Herbert?
This is the party of the Southern strategy — the party that ran, like panting dogs, after the votes of segregationist whites who were repelled by the very idea of giving equal treatment to blacks. Ronald Reagan, George H.W. (Willie Horton) Bush, George W. (Compassionate Conservative) Bush — they all ran with that lousy pack.
How many people of color did Clinton appoint to positions of power as compared to President Bush?
