Perpetuating Stereotypes

MSNBC’s ‘The Cycle’ co-host Touré accused Mitt Romney of subjecting President Obama to “niggerization”.

“I mean, that really bothered me,” Touré said. “You notice he said ‘anger’ twice. He’s really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the ‘otherization’ — ‘he’s not like us.’”

“I know it’s a heavy thing, I don’t say it lightly, but this is niggerization. ‘You are not one of us, you are like the scary black man who we’ve been trained to fear.’ And the idea of locating anger around Obama just doesn’t fit with who he is and who he trained himself to be going back to high school, training himself to be ‘no-drama Obama.’ They are talking to people who are trained to hate him, who want to hate him so this how we turn out the base to work against him.”

A completely ridiculous thing to say, but understandable, since some leftists see everything through the eyes of racism… even when, as in this instance, it’s clearly not present. He doesn’t intend to perpetuate a stereotype of another kind, but can’t help himself.

So why bother? Because Kira Davis has something to say to Touré:


I commend Kira for making such a deeply personal video for not only that MSNBC jackass, but for all of us.

The word means nothing to me, for good reason. The black kids around here use it constantly, as a term of endearment… and I’ve naturally never had it used against me…. though I’ve been called other things, like cracker, redneck and worse… They weren’t really used as weapons, and if they were, no direct hits, so no offense taken.

Though I’ve argued in the past that a word is just a word unless you give it meaning… I can see that every word is personal, relative to one’s experiences. Some words carry great power. I hope that the power of that word dies out soon… but I’d bet that as long as we occupy the earth, people will occasionally revert to their baser natures and call each other names. We are, after all, only human.

    I always thought angry was code for white men – you know, “angry white man”
    If angry is now code for “n-&*#@!*” – then what is “shared wealth” code for? Just sayin’

    Toure honey…seriously?! You can’t come up with a legitimate argument to back the leftist, marxist stance of your beloved Prez, so you resort to the ONLY TOOL in your arsenal…that we must all be racists because some of us are white? Seriously? I don’t give two rats ass hairs on his pubes about whether or not Obama is black, white, purple with pink stripes and blue-green polka dots. He’s incompetent. He’s a proven liar. He prefers to appoint Czars without Congressional or House approval to do jobs that don’t need to be done and certainly not by “Czars”. He’s printing money faster than he can spend it, and he’s spent it REALLY WELL but not to the benefit of the American worker. And by the way Toure, the “American Worker” is black, white, brown, yellow and pink. They are the 1% and the 99% in-between. He said if he didn’t do his job in 3 years, he would be a “one-term President”. He didn’t. Didn’t come close and yet do we see him standing tall as a MAN and holding HIMESELF to HIS OWN WORDS?! No. THAT Toure says more about his character and ego than anything he will EVER do.

    Good luck Toure, you’re going to need it. I am sorry for you close-minded, narrowed viewpoint of this world that you choose to see. http://pamibe.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/americanflag.gif
