Waters and Hastings have thusly revealed their total corruption - not only do they not give two s**ts about eliminating racism - propagating racist attitudes among African Americans is what keeps their paychecks rolling in.

Fact: The most racist white guy at my company--always ready with the N word or "jungle-this" or "welfare-that"----is also the biggest democrat, who never misses a chance to bash Bush. And there are lots of these brainless morons in Chicago. And Durbin and Daley and all the rest just love 'em.

Maxine Water is nothing but a race whore. He should have referred to her as such in front of the entire audience.

I wish the media would stop referring to "Sheets" as a FORMER klu klux klansman.

He was, IS and always will be a klu klux klansman.

If you read the book then you should Uncle Tom
should not used an insult, they need
another term for sellout.

[Princeliberty]

that is "you should (know)

[ladyinred]

Maxine Waters is the most racist of all. She is so full of hatred for anyone who isn't like herself. I can't understand how someone as mean spirited and single minded as she is gets reelected, or is taken seriously by anyone. There will come a day when people realize that racism is not limited to whites. How she can defend a former KKK member is proof of how biased she is, and what a hypocrite.

She IS the hideous hag of hate.

With a special emphasis on the hideous. The epitome of ugliness. I wonder if she has to sneak up on the toilet to keep it from flushing reflexively?

Ms. Waters is a medical marvel. No matter which end of her digestive system is considered, the same ugly black crap comes out of it. Without the lipstick, you couldn't tell the two ends apart.

Her mother always took her everywhere because she couldn't stand to kiss her goodbye.

Correct. Uncle Tom got a bad rap. That's how crazy things were in the 60s -- and still are. IIRC, all he did was point out the pros and cons of running away to a woman who had little children to think about . . . And suddenly in the mind of black America he's some kind of big whitey-loving sellout. People couldn't be more wrong about that. IMO, he was one of the most noble characters in the book.

[Princeliberty]

That was part of the point of the book
he was more noble than the white Characters.

To depict a slave character in 1850s
as being more noble than his owners
in a book was really outraging to the
South. Esp. since the Slaveowners
not claimed to be superior to
slaves than claimed to be superior
to average working class southern.
And thus this was not only an attack
on slavery but the whole Southern
feudal class system(which still in part
remains today!)

Also, Uncle Tom was a character who
was in name a slave but his spirit was
not broken and he was not slave in spirit
due to the fact he was God's servant.

So it is also a timeless message about
what it means to be truely free.
And how many who do not have chains
on the arms have chains on their spirits.
We have a LOT OF PEOPLE in this nation
of all races today who are slaves in
their spirits!
