A top lawmaker in the Congressional Black Caucus says tea partiers on Capitol Hill would like to see African-Americans hanging from trees and accuses the movement of wishing for a return to the Jim Crow era.
Rep. Andre Carson, a Democrat from Indiana who serves as the CBCs chief vote counter, said at a CBC event in Miami that some in Congress would love to see us as second-class citizens and some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me ... hanging on a tree.
Carson also said the tea party is stopping change in Congress, likening it to the effort that were seeing of Jim Crow.
The explosive comments, caught on tape, were uploaded on the Internet Tuesday, and Carsons office stood by the remarks. Jason Tomcsi, Carsons spokesman, said the comment was in response to frustration voiced by many in Miami and in his home district in Indianapolis regarding Congresss inability to bolster the economy. Tomcsi, in an email, wrote that the congressman used strong language because the Tea Party agenda jeopardizes our most vulnerable and leaves them without the ability to improve their economic standing.

Ya, not this time. I tried the title in title search and Andre Carson in the keywords. Of course it keeps signing me out between postings as well, even when I’m replying to a thread, so something’s up.
Rep. Andre Carson wants to behead all republicans.
there should be an “auto search and suggest” built into the posting procedure.
“Would save tons of bandwidth, and hot-air, slowing global warming ...
Lets have a debate about the fact that 96 percent of the crime in Chicago is caused by “people of color” and 92 percent of the crime in Atlanta is caused by “people of color” ... just like 85 percent of the robbery in Georgia.
If the Congressional Black Caucus and Eric “My People” Holder want a “conversation about race,” then maybe it is time for the defense to answer the prosecution with our dossier???
I wouldn’t mind seeing Andre Carson become a PRIVATE citizen again. We need to Grayson guys like him.
You and Maxine and Obama are making Americans sit up and notice that you are not one of us...
You forgot to add Eric "My People" Holder to your list :-)
From the beginning 0bama has been race baiting. Remember the beer summit? The Cambridge cops acting stupidly? A white cop arresting a black man? oh the Huge Manatee!
Sounds like Andre really needs to get laid! Mebbe he should go by an ACORN HQ, ask for a “community orgasmizer” to—how do I say this politely: haul his ashes?
Andrea you are an ASSHOLE.
He comes from Indiana.
Do a Google search about the 2011 Black Expo in Indianapolis. Then search for what happened at the 2010 Black Expo there. That’s another story that Dan Rather and the NY Times would never investigate.
How about ballast.
There is a word for this and they do it all the time and we need to call them out every time they commit this atrocity. It’s called “blood libel”.
It’s no laughing matter. It’s incidious and leads to bloodshed.
Or let’s have a debate about the fact that 84% of the murders in Baton Rouge, LA are black on black.
Spot on. Thanks for posting.
I think these people are going to be quite surprised when Americans start to fight back. We might be slow to anger, but they have mistakenly presumed that we're cowards.
What they fail to realize is that the gains they have made are, in very large part, due to the goodwill of Americans. Andre, Maxine, Eric, Obama et al are killing that goodwill daily. Soon it will be gone.
Doesn’t matter.
Who gets stuck with the bill? Taxpayers. Who are they?
Thanks to MLK and LBJ, New Orleans, Detroit, and Birmingham have been destroyed, not to mention Memphis and countless other cities.
There are vast swathes of the South and Southwest which are literally uninhabitable. There has been a Sherman’s march through Michigan since George Romney pulled that stupid little stunt when he was governor.
I’m going to come right out and say it: in the 1960s, the “Greatest Generation” and the “Baby Boomers” in the Northern states were swept up in a mania, and they used their numerical majority in Congress to redefine the very nature in America.
Now, in the year 2011, the financial and cultural bill is finally coming due. We are gearing up for the grand finale of the world that they created back then. The fat lady is about to sing in 2012.
I’m only 30 years old. I’m a historian. I will be around for the next 50 years writing the history of what is about to transpire in the United States over the course of the next 20 years.
Andre, if you are going to insult us, at least do it properly!
“Lets have a debate about the fact that 96 percent of the crime in Chicago is caused by people of color “
...
No,no,no. The racist police just ARREST more blacks.Blacks don’t commit any more crimes than whites.
(sarcasm)
Either way, he’s hung
