RACISM HALL OF FAME/ HOT ASIAN GIRL Du JOUR

If you want to see Republicans' eyes light up like a kid's on Christmas morning, you'll show them a way to lie to people about the effects of conservative economic policy AND belittle an ethnic minority at the same time. If only he was able to drop a 'C'-bomb (Chinamen) in there somewhere, he would have hit the hat-trick. Good lookin out! -Holler at your boy Pete Hoekstra, -He luv you longtime.

HOT/ RACIST/ SEXIST REPUBLICAN AD Du JOUR

It's hard to determine who to hate on more, the dipshits who made this commercial, or the dipshit sellout-ass puppets who performed the minstrel show in this commercial.

Arizona School Demands Black & Latino Students’ Faces On Mural Be Changed To White



(Article reprinted from Wonkette)
Hard to find even the Gallows Humor in this story, so maybe we won’t even try. Maybe it’s time to admit that large chunks of America are in the hands of unreconstructed racists and vulgar idiots, and that the popular election of a black man as president just might’ve pushed these furious, economically doomed old white people into a final rage that is going to end very, very badly. Ready? Here you go: An Arizona elementary school mural featuring the faces of kids who attend the school has been the subject of constant daytime drive-by racist screaming, from adults, as well as a radio talk-show campaign (by an actual city councilman, who has an AM talk-radio show) to remove the black student’s face, and now the school principal has ordered the faces of the Latino and Black students to be changed to Caucasian skin. This is America, in 2010, and there’s a dozen more states and endless white-trash municipalities ready to Officially Adopt this same Official Racist Insanity.
From the Arizona Republic: A group of artists has been asked to lighten the faces of children depicted in a giant public mural at a Prescott school. The project’s leader says he was ordered to lighten the skin tone after complaints about the children’s ethnicity ….
R.E. Wall, director of Prescott’s Downtown Mural Project, said he and other artists were subjected to slurs from motorists as they worked on the painting at one of the town’s most prominent intersections.
“We consistently, for two months, had people shouting racial slander from their cars,” Wall said. “We had children painting with us, and here come these yells of (epithet for Blacks) and (epithet for Hispanics).”
The children depicted on the mural, as we mentioned before but feel compelled to repeat, are little kids who go to the school — “a K-5 school with 380 students and the highest ethnic mix of any school in Prescott. Wall said thousands of town residents volunteered or donated to the project.”
And these children, for the past several months as this happy mural encouraging “green transportation” was being painted by local artists, have been treated to the city of Prescott’s finest citizens driving by and yelling “Nigger” and “Spic” at this school wall painted with pictures of the children who attend the school. And this has been encouraged by a city councilman, Steve Blair, who uses his local radio talk show to rile up these people and demand the mural be destroyed.
And now the faces are being painted white, “because of the controversy.”
Remember where you were, when you could still laugh about teabaggers and racists and Arizonans, because funny time is almost over. If the unemployment keeps up — one in five adult white males has no job and will never have a job again — and people keep walking away from their stucco heaps they can’t afford and the states and cities and counties and towns keep passing their aggressive racist laws to rile up the trash even more, shit’s going to very soon become very bad, and whether it’s the National Guard having wars in the Sunbelt Exurbs against armies of crazy old white people who are finally using their hundreds of millions of guns, or whole Latino neighborhoods burned to the ground the way the Klan used to burn down black neighborhoods a century ago, we are in for a long dark night and no light-colored paint is going to fix that. [AZCentral via Wonkette operative AZW88]

SPECTACULAR MORNING RACISM FROM FOX AND FRIENDS

Classic case of 'I just said something stupid, so let me try to obscure it by saying 5 more equally stupid things'. Steve Doocy accidentally reveals some raw uncut racism in the most bumbling awkward way possible. I'm just surprised that he didn't take the opportunity to lump all blacks in with middle-eastern people as his preferred targets for airport racial profiling. The situation is exponentially sweeter in that the consultant he's speaking with is a Muslim named Ahmed Rehab. C'mon Steve... -Try to keep up. Even the most seasoned rasicts know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. You're making this look like amateur hour.

I just started trying to get this thing going, and already it's taking the world by storm! That's right people, TUBE TOP TUESDAYS! EVERY Tuesday from now on, demand that every girl wears a tube top in honor of all worthy causes: global warming, racism, feeding the poor, unemployment, the Israel/ Palestine conflict. -Whatever cause you have and whatever stance you take on it, if it's tuesday and you're a woman, wear a tube top. That's the least you could do for world peace right?Jennifer Love Hewitt, down for the cause.

RACIST REPUBLICAN FRIDAY: PAT BUCHANAN

Well, it's official ladies and gentlemen... The Republican party has stopped just short of declaring that they are unapologetically the party of narrow-minded 1950's Jim Crow-era racism. You may be thinking, "What's changed?" as far as that's concerned. Well, not a whole lot. I'm just seeing that since Obama got elected, there is increasingly less and less effort being put into their use of nuanced racist codewords or any amount subtlety in their racism. Before the election, they at least talked around it, and made the effort to try and fool people that they weren't the divisive backwards-ass racists that they have always been. It's strange to think that you can site one specific example and say that it is the official turning point as far as this is concerned, however I think this interview in particular, sheds light on exactly what the modern-day Republican party is all about: -'Rich white men uber alles. -fuck everybody else'..."White men were 100% of the people that wrote the Constitution, 100% of the people that signed the Declaration of Independence, 100% of the people who died at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, probably close to 100% of the people who died at Normandy. This has been a country built basically by white folks, who were 90% of the nation in 1960 when I was growing up and the other 10% were African-Americans who had been discriminated against. That's why." -Pat Buchanan on why 108 of 110 Supreme Court justices thus far have been white.
