Congressional Black Caucus Discovers Entire English Language is a Racist Code Word
Front Page Magazine ^ | November 23, 2012 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 11/23/2012 10:48:52 PM PST by Olog-hai

Responding to Republican criticism of UN Ambassador Susan Rice for claiming that the Benghazi attack on the US mission and annex there had been caused by a photo of a stuffed teddy bear named Mohammed, Congresswoman Marcia Fudge, the leader of the Congressional Black Caucus and Chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on 40 Acres, an Obamaphone and a Mule denounced any attacks on Rice as “horridly and unspeakably racist.”

While Fudge could not point to any single word that was racist, she insisted that every single word used to criticize Rice was a racist code word. “If the language is being used to criticize a black person then we must deem such language to be irreparably and irrevocably racist,” Fudge said. …

Congressman Jim Clyburn went even further. “The entire English language was created by slaveowners as a means of oppression. You can’t just say that one word is a racist code word or another. The whole language, every single word, letter and apostrophe in it is racist. It’s a fact. If you speak English, you’re a racist.”

Poe’s Law in action

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe’s_law

Poe’s law, named after its author Nathan Poe, is an Internet adage reflecting the idea that without a clear indication of the author’s intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between sincere extremism and an exaggerated parody of extremism.[1]

They are still worried about Black Friday being a slur. (They also believe islands can tip over if you build something in them.). A highly intellectual group indeed.

It’s not the nose, it’s those crossed eyes & the whacked out leftie politics. And that screechy voice.

“My patience is wearing thin and I would assume most of “white” America is as well.”

Any person I know of any color that supports legalized abortion believes blacks should avail themselves of it frequently; Justice Ginsburg almost stated as much publicly. There is no more “white guilt”, apparently some white voters simply prefer to keep the abortion mills humming while we import a bronze urban underclass to replace our black one.

Actually African-americans cannot be racist, since they are powerless and dominated by white slave owners and the KKK.
They are all poor and downtrodden and have been beaten into submission by white racist bigots from the souf. I think that might cover it. But wait..... I forgot about the cops and their racist PO-lice dogs.

Some people really think that everything a White Christian male does or says, or doesn’t do or doesn’t say is racist.

In fact , the entire US Constitution is racist. That'll have to go.

And by the way Congressman, without that there is no Congress, and you're just "one of us" now. Have fun with that. :)

From the article:

“Some called for staffing the Democratic Party entirely with illiterates, while others argued that such a measure would be entirely redundant. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was reportedly taking Spanish lessons from Mayor Bloomberg in preparation for the Democratic Party’s shift to conducting all business in broken Spanish.”

Remember in Orwell’s novel 1984 a revised form of English called Newspeak was forced on the masses because its limited words made political dissent impossible.

Isn’t Fudge a homophobic code word?


If she drove a Packard we could call her a “fudge packered.”

” Congressional Black Caucus and Chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on 40 Acres, an Obamaphone and a Mule”

Hilarious.

This is really amazing, for lack of a stronger word. It was people speaking Spanish and Portuguese who first introduced enslaved Africans to the New World, and people speaking English who liberated them, and now we are told that English is racist, and Spanish is not.

I thought Black Friday seemed racist until all the stories about fights and shootings and tramplings to get to the plasma tv’s, and then suddenly it seemed so appropriate.

My favorite part...

Hope was however restored when Congressman Clyburn was lured out of his mansion with an offer of a 3 million dollar grant to a museum of basket weaving in his name, and was persuaded to clarify his remarks.

“All Republicans is racist,” Congressman Clyburn said, “therefore whenever they use English, they are using it to hiddenly express racist ideas. Whenever they speak, they are speaking entirely in racist code words. But when Democrats like us speak English, we’re using tolerance code words.”

And so it was settled. Anything a Republican says in English is racist. Any racial slur used by a Democrat is however a hidden tolerance code word.

There you have it.

In satire we find the bare unvarnished truth.

If you speak English, you’re a racist.
And what language are they using?.

Hopefully whites are getting a bellyful of the race whiners. It is time to tell them where to get off.

This is what happens when morons elect other psychotic morons. Effing incompetent, worthless piles of dog crap.

Yeah, that’s racist too, and I’m proud of it.
