Not even a minute ago glenn beck was talking about how people are mooching off of the Obama admin. and people think its just going to be all good and money will just be handed out. They showed a clip of a Black woman saying she would no longer have to pay her mortgage or gas b/c he is president. Then his guest on the show says, " its like these people think that pork and kool-aid are goiing to fall from the sky."

I never really thought fox new was THAT racist as some claim, but its been getting worse. I'm just speechless right now.:confused:

I don't like having to defend Malkin, but "these people" is not racist. There was a clip of a white guy complaining about not being given benefits for his loyalty to McDonalds as well. "These people" are those people, no matter their race, who think they are entitled to government handouts.

Your both obviously have never heard a racist comment about how black people eat pork and drink kool-aid. You could tell the guest knew she messed up by the look on her face. It was blatant racism, and for you to think im racist is absurd. I look forward to showing others that you think that because they will simply laugh. IF only you actually know who i am and what i think. Thanks for caring though assholes. This IS a racist comment.

and yes i like pork and kool-aid as well but just about everyone knows that that is something that racists make fun of african americans for. So dont play stupid.

if you saw the clip and the context of the conversation there is no debating that it was a racist comment

and to the person who commented about "these people" i dont believe that was racist either, b/c she was simply refering to those in the video. What she then proceeded to say was racist though. In my opinion anyways.

Pork and Kool-Aid? Jesus, how many foods are now related to racist comments about black people? I mean, I knew about the fried chicken, BBQ ribs, and watermelon stereotypes, but...pork and Kool-Aid? Seriously, I'm not sure how common of a stereotype that is, because I've never heard it.

In any case, judging by the Obama worshippers in general, it really does seem like Kool-Aid in particular is falling from the sky (Heaven's Gate reference of course).

Not convinced she said it as a racist tract, but this will teach me to never play the devil's advocate and defend Malkin. She definitely has a history of racism.

I connected kool-aid with the common "do not drink the kool-aid" saying, in reference to Jonestown, where people should not just "drink" whatever the authority figure tells you.

And I connected pork with prok barrel spending.

It's amazing that people like Malkin don't realize the backblow that widespread - and racist - wrongful imprisonment can have with respect to security. She thinks there may have been spies BEFORE internment? I'll bet there were a whole lot more spies and hostiles during and after internment.

I am also from Southeast Missouri. Kool aid is sometimes correlated with black people. I didn't know they had the pork market cornered though. :) However, she was making fun of Obama people and in the context of Obama and the stimulus...these people want handouts also known as, PORK, and they worship Obama like he's Jesus resurrected....KOOL AID DRINKERS. Please take a few steps back and take your finger off the "defensive racist reactionary" button.

African Americans with roots in the rural South also claimed a specific cultural meaning for chitlins. At an early date, forced reliance upon offal marked the foods of black southerners with a meaning different from those of whites. Until emancipation, African American food choice was restricted by the dictates of white society. Despite these restrictions, perhaps even as a retort of sorts, African Americans fashioned a cuisine of their own. Laws may have been enacted to regulate slave dress and codify slave mores, but in the kitchen freedom of expression was tolerated, even encouraged. As a result, African American cooks reinterpreted traditional foodways in an African-influenced manner and claimed chitterlings as distinctly African American.

Chitterling imagery pervades African American culture. The informal circuit of juke joints and clubs patronized by African Americans has long been called the "Chitlin Circuit." The bluesman Mel Brown, a veteran of the circuit, chose to title his early 1970s greatest hits album Eighteen Pounds of Unclean Chitlins and Other Greasy Blues Specialties.

When soul food came to the fore in the United States during the late 1960s and early 1970s, chitlins—along with watermelons and okra—were celebrated as a cultural sacrament. But not all African Americans embraced chitterlings as a preferred marker of identity. "You hear a lot of jazz about soul food," observed Eldridge Cleaver in 1968. "Take chitterlings: the ghetto blacks eat them from necessity while the black bourgeoisie has turned it into a mocking slogan . . . . Now that they have the price of a steak, here they come prattling about Soul Food."

Every now and then racists do pop up though. Once Glenn Beck on CNN had a bigot on, that ultra-nationalist Dutch politician who made that controversial film and claims Islam is pure evil. Beck almost argued him when he realized the extent of the guy's beliefs, although he just tried to find common ground then.

Not that long ago something similar happened with some black guy talking about "his race" being racist by liking Obama and took it a little too far. Again though, Beck distanced himself. The fact his ppl aren't screened and rehearsed to the extent of other shows is good- of course slip-ups will happen.

If you're constantly looking for racism you'll probably find it everywhere. I think labelling "pork and kool-aid" as racist is completely absurd. But in a country where so many use accusations of racism as a tool to shut down debate it's hardly surprising. I look forward to the day when people can easily shrug off the R label and engage in open honest debate without political correctness and noble lies. The current climate is just too much like Stalinist Russia. The climate in the UK and even Canada is much worse in this regard, and people can even be jailed for so-called racial slurs. I hope we don't go down that road, but I know there are a heck of a lot of people in the US who would happily go along with the program.

Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist. The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims. Liberty means free-market capitalism, which rewards individual achievement and competence, not skin color, gender, or ethnicity.

Didn't some of our Japanese American's actually fight for us in the war?

Not only did they fight in the European theater, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated unit in HISTORY OF THE US MILITARY. In other words, Michelle Malkin is a freakin' idiot.

Senator Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) was a member of that unit and won the highest award available to a military man- the Congressional Medal of Honor.

kool-aid? racist?

no. no. no.

now... if she'd have said "grape-drink" we'd be talkin' about a horse of a different color (so to speak).

as far as artificially flavored beverages go, kool-aid is unquestionably multi-cultural.

Lucky you still have a right to an opinion in the USSA.. :rolleyes:

Don't judge a book by it's cover, remember when people accused RP to be a racist? Most black people still do.... I grew up in the NYC slums of queens bridge, i know what racism is and pork and cool-aid ain't racism, read what Tones suggested.... :)

still trying to figure out where i called beck a racist?? i did not

beck is a talking toolhead that is all.

beck lost all credibility to me!!! he is trying his best suckup job and he is just trying to get you to watch his useless show!!

I've seen both the "yeah it's racist" and "no it's not (pork barrel spending etc.) replies in this thread, but I have yet to see the "who gives a damn?" reply.

Yea you have, you just haven't learned how to spot it when you see it.

I've seen both the "yeah it's racist" and "no it's not (pork barrel spending etc.) replies in this thread, but I have yet to see the "who gives a damn?" reply. I figured as (mostly) Libertarians I'd be getting a whole host of replies along those lines, but all I've seen is people trying to justify it, and people saying it's racist. If you want freedom for everyone, you can't be jumping down the throats of everyone who says something that might be offensive to someone, somewhere, nor can you waste time trying to justify every comment ever said, or you won't have time for anything else. I'm not saying you shouldn't speak out against (or for) it, it's your right to, I'm simply trying to advise, that you can't allow yourself to care. Words have only the power you give to them, so don't give power to the words that don't matter.

Just because you should be free to do something doesn't mean it should go by unchallenged. Racism is wrong no matter how you cut it, and while I believe people should be able to be racist hicks all they want, I also have the right to denounce them for being a racist. Freedom is a two way street. You can do what you want, but don't expect others to stick up for the wrong thing.

Not even a minute ago glenn beck was talking about how people are mooching off of the Obama admin. and people think its just going to be all good and money will just be handed out. They showed a clip of a Black woman saying she would no longer have to pay her mortgage or gas b/c he is president. Then his guest on the show says, " its like these people think that pork and kool-aid are goiing to fall from the sky."

I never really thought fox new was THAT racist as some claim, but its been getting worse. I'm just speechless right now.:confused:

Ridiculous.

if you saw the clip and the context of the conversation there is no debating that it was a racist comment

and to the person who commented about "these people" i dont believe that was racist either, b/c she was simply refering to those in the video. What she then proceeded to say was racist though. In my opinion anyways.

It's hard to judge by what you said because as you said it's all about context, but Fox News is definitely racist.
