The Democratic Party is so incredibly racist that it is the only place where the Black race hustlers can practice their politics of extortion. Yes, dear woman, we realize that we will not find a welcome mat in the black community, but the days of your extortion’s are coming to an end as more and more the American people discover that your fake outrage has been just that.

said Reid will enjoy support from the black community because he has “earned it with long support of civil rights and many other issues that matter most to African Americans.”

Money stolen from American-Americans.

She is a left wing hack, so the GOP should definitely do the opposite of what she says.

PC isn’t about race, it’s about politics and leftism. In the USA, it’s about the democrat party.

Look, Ms. Norton you nobody, we know very well that conservatives will not find a welcome in the AA community; all we are trying to do is point out the brazen, undiluted hypocrisy of libtards like you.

The Republicans MUST beat this issue into the ground, relentlessly and mercilessly, because by exposing brazen Democrat hypocrisy for all the world to see, they will make themselves forever immune to attacks of “racism”.

“What has Reid ever done for the black community?”

Well, he led the fight to prevent little kids from getting vouchers to attend real schools.

Because of whores like Norton, thousands of “Americans of African descent” are forced into inferior schools and their futures are very, very bleak. They will always speak with a “Negro dialect” because of Reid and Norton’s pals in Congress.

Someday, one of those little kids will grow up to mug Elanor Holmes Norton in an alleyway or parking lot.

The House considers H.R. 1905, the DC Voting Rights Act, securing voting rights in the House for the District of Columbia. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton of DC closes debate on the bill.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBQ6f1YFiQ8&feature=channel

D.C. House Vote Bill Approved 241-177
April 19, 2007

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton made the following statement on the House floor:

Today’s vote will allow the House to erase many deep historic wrongs from the nation’s conscience. We vote as District residents are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, in a shooting war as they have in every war, including the war that established the Republic. Andy Shallal, a D.C. citizen said it best, “People like me of Iraqi ancestry and even my son, who was born in the United States, are entitled to vote in the Iraqi’s election due in large part to the service of the citizens of the District of Columbia and other Americans who have fought and died in Iraq.”

Today’s vote will erase the slander that the founders of our country who staged their revolution for representation would then deny it to the residents of their own capital city. Professor Viet Dinh, President Bush’s former assistant attorney general for constitutional matters has wiped away the major argument that because the District is not a state its American citizens cannot vote in the House by detailing the many ways in which “since 1805 the Supreme Court has recognized that Congress has the authority to treat the District as a state and Congress has repeatedly exercised this authority.” My favorite is the 16th Amendment which requires only that citizens of states pay federal income taxes. Why then have District residents continuously been taxed without representation?

And today’s vote will relieve the House of the terrible racial burden that has been at the core of the denial of the rights of D.C. citizens. Congress required the same racial segregation here in schools and public accommodations as the southern states until the 1954 Brown decision. As one southern Senator put it, “The Negroes . . . flocked in . . . and there was only one way out . . . and that was to deny ... suffrage entirely to every human being in the District.”

Former Republican Senator Edward Brooke, a native Washingtonian and the nation’s first popularly elected black Senator wrote, “The experience of living in a segregated city and of serving in our segregated armed forces perhaps explains why my party’s work on the Voting Rights Act reauthorization last year and on the pending D.C. House Voting Rights Act has been so important to me personally. The irony of course, is that I had to leave my hometown to get representation in Congress and to become a Member.”

Today I ask the House to abolish the irony and the tragedy of the many who have come to the nation’s capital seeking freedom for 206 years, among them my great grandfather, Richard Holmes, a slave who ran away from a Virginia plantation in the 1850’s and settled our family here. I appeal to your conscience and ask for your vote so that finally there will be a vote for your fellow Americans here, who have paid for this precious right many times over in blood and tears.

So even if a rabid Dem ‘leader’ donned a KKK outfit and spewed racist comments the blind black racists of the Dem left would give them a pass. Astounding! Why the majority of blacks have not rejected their Dem slavemasters is dumbfounding!
