Andre Carson: Tea party wants blacks 'hanging on a tree'
Politico ^ | 8/31/11 | JAKE SHERMAN

Posted on 09/01/2011 11:34:40 AM PDT by americanophile

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 CBC’s 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 we’re seeing of Jim Crow.”

The explosive comments, caught on tape, were uploaded on the Internet Tuesday, and Carson’s office stood by the remarks. Jason Tomcsi, Carson’s spokesman, said the comment was “in response to frustration voiced by many in Miami and in his home district in Indianapolis regarding Congress’s 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.

Talk about projection...
We’re seeing a LOT of black on white violence but almost zero white on black violence.

Her Freudian Slip is showing.

LOL ... “hanging from a tree.”

In the “Jim Crow era,” there were 3,500 lynchings of blacks, and something like 1,500 lynchings of whites. Lynching was usually a vigilante response to some kind of crime that had been committed.

That’s why whites were lynched too. It happened all the time. White people were shot all the time in the Wild West too. It was a different culture back then.

Now, just how many white people do you suppose have been murdered, raped, robbed, and assaulted by black people since 1965?

That’s a number I would really like to hear. I know that black people raped 35,000 white women in 2005 alone. How many white women do you suppose black people raped in the last decade in total?

That doesn’t even include the murders, the robberies, the burglaries, the aggravated assaults, the costs of moving to the suburbs, the costs of rebuilding entire cities to escape the black criminals, the costs of commuting long distances to avoid the clusterfuck that is the “inner city,” the combined criminal justice costs, the costs upon business, the downstream costs to taxpayers, etc.

Do you know what the craziest thing about it all is?

The craziest thing is that the taxpayers are crushed by the federal government in order to transfer their wealth ... yes, to the inner cities ... to the projects via Section 8 and TANF welfare and EBT cards and Medicaid and every other government program ... which encourages the very same class of people that commits the vast majority of our crime ... to multiply because they are being subsidized!

The Congressional Muslim Staffers Association has been in existence since 2006, the year in which Keith Ellison was the first Muslim elected to Congress. Their website states that:

” Members often publicly speak about how Muslim Americans can pursue careers in Federal government, particularly in Congress, and how to be politically involved.”

Under the heading “Why Should Young Muslims Participate in Professional Internships?” “Opportunities to meet the two Muslim American Members of Congress, the Hon. Keith Ellison (MN) and Hon. ANDRE CARSON(IN)” is listed as third. The last bullet point on the list leaves no doubt that the CMSA is an Islamist organization:

In Kentucky, African-Americans are 7.8 percent of the population and 13.3 percent of poor people, but are responsible for 27 percent of homicide, 13 percent of rape, 44 percent of robbery, 28 percent of aggravated assault, and 19.3 percent of burglary.

In Missouri, African-Americans are 11.6 percent of the population and 20.4 percent of the poor, but are responsible for 60.7 percent of homicide, 43.7 percent of rape, 70.9 percent of robbery, 41.8 percent of aggravated assault, and 41.6 percent of burglary.

In Iowa, African-Americans are 2.9 percent of the population, but are responsible for 30.8 percent of the homicide, 7.5 percent of the rape, 50.2 percent of the robbery, 23 percent of the aggravated assault, and 17 percent of the burglary.

In Alabama, African-Americans are 26.2 percent of the population, but are responsible for 62 percent of homicide, 55 percent of rape, 77 percent of robbery, 59 percent of burglary, 55 percent of aggravated assault ... and 91.5 percent of rape

^^ In Alabama, that was 2010, last year.

In Tennessee, African-Americans are 16.7 percent of the population and 26.3 percent of the poor, but are responsible for 56.6 percent of homicide, 40.4 percent of rape, 64.4 percent of robbery, and 41.3 percent of aggravated assault.

In California, African-Americans are 5.9 percent of the population, but are responsible for 38 percent of robbery, 21.8 percent of rape, 23.8 percent of homicide, 20 percent of assault, 21.8 percent of burglary, 21.5 percent of theft, 19.7 percent of motor vehicle theft, 22.3 percent of forgery, 22.1 percent of kidnapping, and 17.5 percent of sex offenses.

Isn’t it strange that black people like Andre Carson portray themselves as the victims of violence? In every state in the United States, black people are far more likely to be the perpetrators of violence, and white people are more likely to be the victims and the taxpayers who pay for the costs of their misbehavior.

Eric “My People” Holder: would you like our “conversation about race” to continue?

We haven’t moved on yet to the black privilege that black people enjoy on the basis of their skin color in every single aspect of our society from sports to entertainment to the mass media to the universities to the federal government itself where you lord over us!

This man should be required to undergo a psych eval. He’s obviously deranged.

Good point. Did the representative from Indiana really mean ON instead of FROM a tree?

Here are black children hanging ON a tree (not FROM a tree):

Doesn't look all that bad.

Here is a woman hangin ON a tree:

Rather pleasant.

Some people even live ON a tree:

I wouldn't mind hanging-out ON this tree at all

Please let me have a debate with this idiot on the floor of Congress. I would bury him under the House of Representatives.

Just from that excellent post, I have no doubt that you would!

All credit to the enlightened Kevin Jackson. Would that he were not a member of a small minority of blacks.

none from anyone that matters, namely his constituents.

the inner city districts are lifetime appointments unless
they commit some felony and are convicted.

inner city politics has more in common with Idi Amin’s Uganda than with any system we’d recognize.

More proof Obama has set race relations back in this country by at least 60 years. Like Obama and his hate filled wife Michelle, this race pimp is following the teachings of Jeremiah Wright instead of the teachings of Martin Luther King.

King preached peace and equality.

Wright preaches separatism, hate, and violence.

It will be the students of Wright's toxic rhetoric that will be the ones looting and burning the inner cities that have banned the legal ownership of guns.
