RACIST JOKES: ?Nearly one in six Tennesseans has told a joke about Barack Obama?s race, and three-fourths say they?ve heard or read at least one, even though only 15 percent of Tennesseans say they would find such a joke funny.?
I’d put this at 4 in 6 and take the over.

Full Story... →I hate the gooks, said John McCain, I will hate them as long as I live. Senator McCain said these words when asked about his continued use of the racial slur, “gook.”.
John McCain has told us who he is.
John McCain supported the rescinding of Martin Luther King Day.
John McCain keeps on his payroll white supremacists, race-baiting swiftboaters and lobbyists for dictators and terrorists.
John McCain endorsed George Wallace, Jr., a favorite speaker among white supremacists.
He fought to keep the Confederate battle flag flying over South Carolina.
He seems to subscribe to a brand of religion-inspired [...]
Full Story... →Not about race, right? Right:
Worse, Palin’s routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric’s questions for her “less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media.” At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, “Sit down, boy.”
Sit down, boy. [...]
Full Story... →Here it comes. The subtle that will at some point become overt. You have to ask yourself why Raines was chosen for the ad instead of a much juicier (and white) target. Kinda makes you go “hmmm”:

I sure am glad our wingnut friends have their secret decoder rings and their super special certificates of anti-racism. I’m sure they’ll take issue with the subtle racial overtones of this ad (two black men and a poor defenseless old white woman) given their recent certified anti-racist status.
Totally sure.
Full Story... →What we are doing here is not easy. Never was going to be. More evidence from Michigan:
Racist slurs were spray-painted across a large Barack Obama presidential campaign billboard alongside a heavily trafficked stretch of US-23 in Pittsfield Township sometime overnight Tuesday.
And the U.S. Secret Service is investigating what now appears to be two threatening letters against Obama that were received in Livingston County, according to news reports.

Full Story... →I saw this obnoxious little piece of graffiti written on the wall in a truck stop bathroom near Toledo: “Don’t waste your vote on a nigger”
It’s been altered a few times- including the addition of the word dead before the word nigger- which certainly does sound like a threat to me.
I’m not sure this is something the Secret Service would investigate. Or something they even should investigate. It’s not like racists living in NW Ohio is some kind of breaking news.
I wonder if the women’s room has anti-Palin graffiti yet.
Full Story... →Fuck me. The hate is real. The whisper campaigns do real damage. The shit has to stop.
DENVER (CBS4) ? CBS4 has now learned at least four people are under arrest in connection with a possible plot to kill Barack Obama at his Thursday night acceptance speech in Denver. All are being held on either drug or weapons charges.
One of the guys “was wearing a ring with a swastika, and is thought to have ties to white supremacist organizations.”
If you are not doing everything you can to talk down the whispers of hate speech and racist [...]
Full Story... →Black Tokyo broke this one and it has now garnered international press. A cell phone ad by E Mobile depicts a monkey in a suit deploring a crowd holding “Change” signs. BT says:
Am I crazy to think that the monkey is supposed to represent Barack Obama? Given the track record for companies in Japan that use monkeys and blacks or monkeys as blacks in advertisements…maybe not!
