WTF! A Brief for Whitey By Patrick J. BuKKKhanan

[ariesgem]

Why the hell does MSNBC, CNN, etc... consider a man with a KKK platform a "credible" political commentator???:mad:


March 21, 2008
How would Barack explain to his press groupies why he sat silent in a pew for 20 years as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright delivered racist rants against white America for our maligning of Fidel and Gadhafi, and inventing AIDS to infect and kill black people?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The first few paragraphs are mainly about his grievances with Rev. Wright.

Here's the WORST part of his article.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.

Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ’60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.

>>>>>>>>>>>>

We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?

Barack talks about new “ladders of opportunity” for blacks.

Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for “deserving” white kids.

Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America’s fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

1. Fuck Pukecannon! When he's on the teevee, I switch channels.

BTW, if slavery was so great, then why doesn't the pukester pick a bail of cotton for free?

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. How arrogant for ANY white man to claim he knows what is or was best for blacks

Buchanan is a presumptious ass.

[Sulawesi]

3. That is unbelievable, even for Buchanon...what filth...

[blogslut]

4. I read that paragraph to BS junior

Her response: "Holy shit!"

[cali]

5. I detest that racist piece of shit

I've long chided people here for posting anything he says in an approving manner or to bolster an argument.

How fucking dare he? American whites have done so much to uplift blacks. Pig, shitrag fuckhead.

[VolcanoJen]

13. Plus, he's distorting historical facts.

Only 600,000 slaves arrived in America? 600,000?

Jesus, maybe 600,000 died en route in the days of the Atlantic Slave Trade, but I'm reasonably certain that historians say that millions of slaves were shipped to the "new world" from West and Central Africa.

[muntrv]

6. Pukecannon hasn't done anything to uplift Black Americans.

[Guaranteed]

7. Yup, that's flat-out racism.

We're gonna get Obama the nomination and put an end to this shit once and for all, though.

[VolcanoJen]

8. What in the holy living hell?????

It's always boggled the mind that Pat Buchanan, noted xenophobic racist crypto-facist, remains employed as a sought-after political commentator, but I don't see how these remarks don't get him fired.

Here's a choice passage (emphasis mine):

What is wrong with Barack's prognosis and Barack's cure?

Only this. It is the same old con, the same old shakedown that black hustlers have been running since the Kerner Commission blamed the riots in Harlem, Watts, Newark, Detroit and a hundred other cities on, as Nixon put it, "everybody but the rioters themselves."

Was "white racism" really responsible for those black men looting auto dealerships and liquor stories, and burning down their own communities, as Otto Kerner said -- that liberal icon until the feds put him away for bribery.

9. I'd love to see those crime statistics balanced with regards to socio-economic status

Given the huge wealth disparity between African Americans and Caucasians, I wouldn't doubt that most of his complaint there evaporated after such an analysis. Crimes against the poor are probably fairly rare.


(This assumes his basic claim is accurate).

[PM7nj]

10. I just wrote to MSNBC.

I doubt it will do any good though. Pat Buchanan is more senile than McLame.

[VolcanoJen]

11. Folks, if this isn't blatant, over-the-top, old-school racism, then what the hell is?

This is unbelievable. Seriously, my jaw is dropping.

Here's the Buchanan column over at TownHall. I'd avoid the comments section; Buchanan's spewings will be enough to thoroughly enrage for one day.

12. MSNBC needs to explain why they keep him on staff.

Do they agree with him? Do they think his views represent a large chunk of America? Do they think he adds the "shock jock" ingredient to their network?

I've sent so many emails to MSNBC about Buchanan and JoeScar that I lost count, and I know I'm not the only one, yet it's had no impact. If anything, Pat and Joe have gotten more face time.

I contacted some of Joe's sponsors yesterday. I emailed Pat's latest all over MSNBC, including Countdown and Hardball. I also emailed it to Eugene Robinson, who is frequently forced to counter Pat's repugnant views. The only other thing I can think of is to write MSNBC a snail-mail letter.

IMHO, Countdown is the only thing MSNBC has going for it. Nothing else they offer is worth my time.

14. Tell me specifically which parts of Buchanan's statements are incorrect

"First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks."

Is that incorrect?

"It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million,"

Is that incorrect?

"were introduced to Christian salvation,"

Is that incorrect?

"and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known."

Is that incorrect?

Why did you bold that paragraph? Is any of it incorrect?

Buchanan is not making excuses for slavery. He doesn't approve that blacks were lynched. What he's saying is that those were problems of the African-American PAST. Yes, we can expect some carryover consequences, and some racism certainly still exists, but none of it is legal, and does it really account for the inordinate imbalance in criminal behavior, for example? Do blacks not have accountability, too, for the problems in the black community? Buchanan raises some valid questions. If there's going to be a discussion on racism pitting blacks against whites, then it must be a two-way street.

[VolcanoJen]

15. You know, if you live long enough, you really will see everything.

Even a DUer defending another racist diatribe by a former Nixon speechwriter.

I'll tackle at least one of your questions... you really believe a "mere" 600,000 slaves were brought to America from Central and West Africa? Really? And that doesn't sound in the least bit revisionist to you?

[Rex_Goodheart]

16. It doesn't matter if it was 600,000 or 2 million...

The point is the same and is not hurt.

What about the other parts? You haven't identified any actual racism. Not saying you won't, but you haven't yet.

Should Reverend Wright thank God he's an American?

[sudopod]

17. You know that part

where the slaves had their cultures and identites stolen from them and were forced to do manual labor strange masters in a strange land for their entire lives on pain of brutal beatings and/or death, and knew that the same fate would also fall on their descendants for the foreseeable future?

Yeah, that was great for them, wasn't it?

[Rex_Goodheart]

18. Nobody said it was great for them.

And Buchanan didn't say it, either.

Now why don't you try answering my actual questions?

[Brandwearer2]

19. Outrageous

I expected better of Pat Buchanan - he professes to be a Catholic
after all. I wonder, if he read all of Obama's speech, since it was far more balanced than his reporting on it suggested.

If Buchanan listened to the middle of Obama's speech, it contained
a section about how middle- and working-class whites have
legitimate concerns that are often ridiculed as racist but in fact are
not (i.e.: violence, for instance). He also pointed out how these whites experience employment pressure and feel alienated when told they are privileged. Certainly it was a critical part of the speech and Buchanan should have noted it.

Many whites (or non-Blacks) in this country have been waiting for
an issue like this to surface so they can feel good about disparaging Senator Obama and feel good about hating blacks. Let us not forget how many white folks have taught their children and grandchildren to call blacks by the N word and hate them for no reason. This is the
heart of conservative America and people who call themselves Christians.

My values were instilled by grandfather who was an Italian immigrant; a man who came to this country and worked side by side with blacks in the coal mines of Missouri and Iowa. He saw his black coworkers for what they were: fellow human beings on the journey of life. In following
his example , I never taught my children to hate, or to judge on the basis of anything else than the content of the individual and their character. America is the greatest country, with the most opportunity, on earth,and that includes black America.

Years of oppression (political, social, economic) have devastating effects on disadvantaged and disenfranchised groups in this
country- Although Reverent Wright's comments were clearly inappropriate - they were 3 isolated soundbites plucked out of thousands from his decades long career as a respected Protestant reverend and someone who had been invited to speak at the White House Prayer Breakfast.

If we are truly Christian, perhaps we should try to understand rather than condemn (look at the person in environment)--and see this as
an opportunity to heal the divides in America by turning up the conversation on race and oppression--we have come a along way,
but certainly not far enough. God has charged to "Love one another" and that means every person strives to do and behave their best so
that the world will be a better place.

The people we have to watch out for are the ones who point the finger, the ones who with their venom try to suck the life out of everyone and everything. These folks come from every race and promote hatred to cover up their shortcomings. Pat Buchanan points the finger at Rev. Wright, but he is no better. Hopefully, fair-minded people are not naive enough to fall for any of the rhetoric that they spew.
