To Maxine Waters and her “type”, everything is a racist slight.

It is called “projection”!

The most racist people I know are blacks, more than any other group of people.

You should have seen the reaction when I posted that on FB. Facts are facts, facts can't be racist.

I know black business owners that hire no one but blacks. I don't know any white business owners that hire only whites. They segregate themselves.

They did the same thing to Perot back in the day when he said “you people” when addressing a large group. He didn’t mean anything racist about it either.

Some people are just overly sensitive.

Well, 95% of them voted for Obama and made no secret they were doing so because he’s black.

Wait til the get government jobs.

I’ve know white CPA and engineers that hold government jobs. So many black managers will hire incompetent and unqualified blacks. No way a white person could get away with that.

Black person gets hired for government job. They hang around long enough to get promoted. Everyone they hire is black. Seen it too many times.

I know of one situation where one black man that holds a federal government job was showing up for work after 2pm every day. They left at 4pm. He had been doing this for years. Another situation where a black woman didn’t show up for months. They finally caught her lying on something and fired her for that. That doesn’t work in my world.

Absolutely, if they were staunch dems they would have turned out for Hillary and she would be president.

Maybe we should be happy they are racist.

Why didn’t this Republipussy call out Aunite Maxine at the time she started spouting? Why don’t Ryan call Aunite Maxine out of order and have a vote of censure for “violation of the comity of the body”? Whining about it a week later doesn’t cut it. A prime example why many are fed up with GOPE. They are a bunch of trembling spineless wussies

THE CONGRESSIONAL BLACK – MAKE THAT RACIST — CAUCUS
barbwire | Daniel Greenfield on 10 February / FR Posted by MarvinStinson

When Obama met with Farrakhan, it was under the auspices of the Congressional Black Caucus. It wasn’t the first or last time that the CBC had been caught in bed with the hate group leader. And CBC members have never been ashamed of their ties to a racist who had praised Hitler as a “great man”. “I’ve been to his home, done meetings, participated in events with him,” Rep. Danny Davis declared. “I don’t regard Louis Farrakhan as an aberration or anything, I regard him as an outstanding human being.”
The CBC won’t sanction Rep. Davis for saying that. In an age when statues are pulled down and classic TV shows are censored, some forms of racism are more equal than others. Not to mention sexism.

The Congressional Black Caucus had a front seat to #MeToo with the revelation that $220,000 had been paid out to a staffer alleging sexual harassment by Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL), a former judge impeached for bribery whose girlfriend has been on his payroll to the tune of $2.4 million, and that Rep. Conyers (D-MI) had his own sexual harassment settlement. That scandal forced Rep. Conyers to resign and hand the seat to his son at the behest of his wife, Monica, who had been convicted of bribery.
Corruption, fraud and bribery are ongoing problems at the Congressional Black Caucus.

After two decades of financial scandals, Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL) was convicted of running a fake charity and sentenced in December. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) was sentenced last December for bribery, fraud and money laundering. His son, Chaka Fattah Jr, was already in prison on unrelated bank fraud charges. Around the same time the wife of Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Il) had wrapped up her prison sentence after her husband had ended his prison term a year earlier on fraud charges.

Hardly a year goes by without a criminal case involving a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Bribery and fraud, fake charities and money laundering to pay for the high life are familiar CBC themes . Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. bought a gold Rolex, Michael Jackson and Malcolm X memorabilia, and mink capes. Rep. Brown stole from poor children to pay for an NFL luxury box (won’t you take a knee) and a Beyonce concert. Chaka Fattah Jr. bought Hermes ties and a Ritz-Carlton condo.

These aren’t aberrations. They’re part of the culture of corruption at the Congressional Black Caucus.
The year that Barack Obama, a former CBC member whose level of corruption outdid any of his former colleagues by climbing into the high stratospheric billions and using the Justice Department to run a massive slush fund, took office, every single House member investigated on ethics charges was CBC. A former study suggested that a third of CBC legislators had faced an ethics probe.

That’s what a culture of political corruption looks like.
But the Congressional Black Caucus has consistently blamed all of its corruption troubles on racism. And CBC members would always play the race card. Rep. Corrine Brown had improbably claimed that Obama’s DOJ had targeted her because “I’m a black woman with a mouth.”

It’s the same old racist excuse. And racism is the usual cover story for CBC corruption.

When Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) was accused of stealing a woman’s first class airplane seat, she claimed that it only happened “because I was an African American woman, seemingly an easy target.” The woman she casually accused of racism had no previous idea of who even stole her seat. And as a Democrat and a human rights activist was probably angry about her lost seat, not the politician’s race.

No one can be too surprised at a politician receiving preferential treatment at the expense of ordinary citizens. Especially a politician who had once allegedly howled, “You don’t understand. I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen.” It’s the eagerness with which CBC members shut down any conversations about their corruption with casual accusations of racism that is the real problem.
The worst offender in the Conyers sexual harassment case wasn’t actually the congressman in question. It was another Black Caucus member who came to his defense by accusing his victims of racism.

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) allegedly claimed that Conyers’ accusers were all white women. And suggested that the accusations were somehow racially motivated. Other CBC members threatened Democrats who criticized Rep. Conyers and there were suggestions that the calls for his resignation were racist.

“Do you go and stalk white people’s houses or just come to the black neighborhoods and stalk our houses?” Monica Conyers demanded.

The claim that Rep. Conyers’ accusers were “all white women” proved to be a lie. But it shouldn’t have mattered what race the women accusing a politician of sexual harassment were. Nor should it have mattered what race the passenger whose seat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee allegedly stole might have been.

The reflexive accusations of racism by Congressional Black Caucus members hurled at their alleged victims and at any attempt to bring them to justice is at the root of the CBC’s culture of racial corruption. The Caucus is a racially exclusive body. And it uses race and racism as weapons to protect its privileges of power. It doesn’t admit white politicians who represent African-American districts. “It is critical that its membership remain exclusively African American,” Rep. William Lacy Clay Sr. (D-MO) had written. Referring to a white Democrat’s membership bid from an African-American district, he declared that, “he does not, and cannot, meet the membership criteria unless he can change his skin color.” It’s the same familiar mantra of slavery and segregation but with a politically correct twist.

Rep. Clay has paid out nearly a million dollars in campaign funds to his sister’s law firm.

“We supported the tradition that only African-Americans have been full members of the CBC,” insisted Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick (D-MI), whose son and husband would be convicted on charges that included fraud and racketeering.

Urban political machines have a long history of exploiting ethnic and racial solidarity to maintain their grip on power. The Congressional Black Caucus did not invent an original form of corruption. Tammany Hall went through various ethnic incarnations as one immigrant group made way for another.

The Congressional Black Caucus is not uniquely corrupt because it is black. But it uses racial solidarity and animosity to protect its insidious corruption. The CBC uses the idea of racial persecution to convince the African-American areas it preys on to turn a blind eye to its corruption. And it depicts its critics and victims, whether they are the women groped by Rep. Conyers or the poor children ripped off by Rep. Brown, as pawns or perpetrators of a racist conspiracy against black people.

The CBC’s merger of xenophobia and corruption is nothing new. But it’s a uniquely toxic tactic to utilize during a time of racial tensions. The Caucus styles itself as the “conscience of the congress”, but it has no conscience. It’s become a gang of thieves united by greed, racial solidarity and racial animosity.

The Congressional Black Caucus is uniquely destructive to black people and to the entire country. Its corrupt civil rights icons have long since become mirrors of the very thing they once fought against. And their accusations of racism are reflections of their own racism and their own racial privileges.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and Rep. Clyburn’s accusations show how the perniciously corrupt culture of the CBC’s racial solidarity has turned race and racism into unlimited justifications for their own abuses.

The Caucus’ racism and corruption feed into each other in a vicious cycle that spurs its members to greater ethics violations and noisier accusations of racism. The corruption charges then become proof of racism. The more CBC members are arrested and jailed, the more the Caucus doubles down on the conviction that the only reason they were jailed is racism. And then it exploits that sense of racial grievance to justify even more corruption. This vicious cycle of racism and thievery in the CBC must be broken. Congress has a racism problem. Its name is the Congressional Black Caucus.

A friend works retail at the return desk in a department store. She has been instructed that if a black person makes a return, no matter what condition it is in, that they get a refund. How is that not discrimination against all the other races.

He's a pal of DNC's Ellison, Farrakhan and the CBC.
Now meet the Muslim Congressman with a stranglehold on your safety and security.

Muslim Democrat Cong Andre Carson's Congressional Committees

NOTE--The DNC places a price on these committees---Congressman wishing to be placed on the committee pay up front.
Where did Muslim Carson get the money to get on these highly sensitive committees?

Is Carson funneling Islamic cash into the DNC?

Do Indiana constituents know Carson bought these seats?

Any response other than a variant on “so what?” or just mockery is a loser. The second you start trying to show how “non-racist” you are, it’s over. You are on their turf that they created specifically for this purpose.

One of my neighbors in my new neighborhood is AA.

The FIRST thing she said to me when I said hello to her for the first time was “You aren’t going to discriminate against me because I am black living in a white neighborhood, are you?”

EVERYTHING is about race. If someone doesn’t wave back to her, it is discrimination. I pointed out to her that not everyone waves back at me and I am sure it is because they are looking somewhere else and don’t see me and I just shrug and move on.

Sadly, I avoid her now. It was just exhausting to try to defend EVERY. DAMN. thing to her.

Years ago, in another life, I taught in a high school that had two white students out of 1500 students. Early in my career there I said to the class, "I want you all to take out a sheet of paper." Immediately one girl said, "Whatchoo mean sayin "y'all"?" I quickly realized that I had hit another magic word so I said, "I mean that I want all of you to take out a sheet of paper." She said, "But you said "y'all" the first time." I said, "OK, but that means the same as 'all of you.'" She said, "No it don't." So I said, "I want everyone to take out a sheet of paper." End of problem.

They saw no problem with saying "y'all" to me, however, when they wanted to rip on white people.

This was the kind of crap that happened every day, and I managed to last five years in that nut house.

I’m sure they’ve found the path of least resistance is best with them to avoid hassle and accusations.

It’s the same in the apartment business, we think twice before we turn down certain application. We don’t give it a second before we turn down other applications.

It’s not fair at all but lawsuits are expensive.
