Maxine Waters, (D)ummy, on the Great Divider’s remarks directed to the Congressional Black Caucus this weekend:
I’m really starting to lose patience with grievance hustlers who are perpetually upset that they aren’t getting their “fair share”, especially when they would think nothing of using those same people as a means to further their own power, right up until they decide they don’t need those “others” any longer.
I’m young enough to remember certain ideals that did more to unite us than “Yes We Can!” and “Hope and Change”. Sadly, Maxine seems never to have heard it, or she has grossly misunderstood it. The problem with counting what the other guy’s got is that what you have will never be enough, even if it is all they have.
If she is going to be a myopic marxist scold, I’d prefer that she do it from the ivory towers of academia, where she could then be the first leftist to actually create a job…for her replacement.
Taxes, Stupidity, and Death 
I don’t think Dummy does justice to the abject “STUPIDITY” of Maxine Waters.
Maxine has got all the bad qualities of Obama (falsely advertised, inept, unqualified, corrupt, self-serving, power monger), without Obama’s ability to formulate a sentence and sound lucid. While Obama would be an elder in Rev. Jeremiah’s Church, Maxine would be more capable of door greeter, or toilet cleaner. She’s marked class flunky in a crowd of stupid.
I really do mean this. This is met for men like Rutherford who might be in a position to carry some influence to blacks. Representatives like Maxine Waters have done more to damage the black community than any Klan member or Aryan Brother could have ever hoped.
Maxine Waters is a disgrace to Congress and America. Idiots in position of authority like Maxine are not only killing their communities, but killing the country. And since the black community hasn’t figured that much out and will once again appoint her for representation, it makes it all the more important to minimize the power of the Democratic party in 2012.
I thought Maxine was kind of funny. It translated to “who you telling to shut up and quit complaining?!? I’ll pin your ears back!”
Here’s a little irony for you: Barack Hussein Obama, “America’s first black president,” believes that he owns the allegiance of American Negroes. Maxine Waters, the Queen of Colored People’s Advancement through Victimist Cant, who believes the rest of the country owes American Negroes, has taken a dislike to him. Or maybe just to his white half. We snark; you decide.
To acknowledge the Great American Melting Pot™ is to make us equal, and she can’t have that. Napoleon the pig had nothing on this woman.
“Divide and conquer” says it all – and it matters naught if Marxist doctrine is practiced by the adherent in the White House or the followers in Congress. The ultimate goal is to weaken America’s character and resolve to the point where a dictatorial takeover by the elitists seems the only salvation. Check the playbook, folks. Marx, Lenin and their progeny have laid it out very clearly in both word and action during the last century..
Since Tex introduced me into the conversation, I’ll pipe in.
BiW, you may not feel you are in a position to examine this, although I argue you are as capable if not more capable to examine it than I:
When we elect a minority President (black-Obama, Catholic-Kennedy, etc.) should they be applauded for NOT pandering to their particular minority? Our country has an interesting preoccupation with religious favoritism, hence the need for Kennedy to “reassure” the public that the Pope would not be calling the shots in the White House. Yet I don’t recall Obama having to reassure the public that Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson would not be calling the shots in the White House.
With the exception of the “Cambridge police incident”, I think Obama has successfully stayed out of race politics, whether or not his handlers have. So the question is who is right? Should Obama tell blacks to grow the f*ck up and get with a program that is meant to help everybody? Or (dare I say it) is Maxine Waters right that Obama owes his brothers and sisters some special attention?
It’s clear BiW that you disdain Waters. That’s fine. But I’d like to see you get deeper underneath the politics of the President supporting his own minority.
P.S. I personally find it offensive that Obama should be expected to favor blacks. He is the President of everyone, not of the black community.
I have yet to hear Obama make the same promises with Father Satan, who apparently is well in control of the regime. 😈
Ah Tex, YOU must have been that yahoo who called Obama the anti-Christ at a rally yesterday.
Rutherford,
My congratulations on completely missing the point of the post. I hadn’t thought it possible, but like a sports team from Detroit in any other year snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, you managed it.
The point was Waters’ whining about this group and that group…the typical identity politics dance, and the suggestion that such “diversity” weakens us as a nation.
It was not about His Emptisuitedness, and his scolding of the scolds. That was a popcorn moment that doesn’t make up for the underlying sickness afflicting both.
I’m also not sure I’d say that he’s stayed out of race politics…he didn’t inherit his AG from Bush, and if you don’t think that race and racial politics are influencing what the DOJ is and is not doing right now, then you need to open your eyes.
On the contrary, I don’t think I missed your point at all. I was suggesting you dig deeper.
As for Eric Holder, the odds are greater that his actions would be viewed through a racial prism as opposed to Obama. After all, America has a problem with blacks and crime. Holder is in the same position as any black prosecutor working in a justice system stacked against minorities.
Ruthetford, I’d like to know how you arrive at the conclusion that the system is stacked against minorities, or that America has a problem with blacks and crime.
I mean, I haven’t been reading dockets packed with asian names, or the serious newspaper articles on the gay and female crime waves setting city streets ablaze, or that Polish on Polish violence. Perhaps you can direct me to it?
As for “digging deeper”, the point was about the surfacing petty jealousies between the little identity fiefdoms that the Democratic Party has been fostering for decades.
The fact that Obama told the CBC to quit their bitching isn’t indicative of his being above identity politics. Its the kind of response he employs against anyone who criticizes him.
Exactly. America has a problem with blacks and crime.
I won’t bother with links but it is a known fact for example that blacks are disproportionately put on death row compared to other minorities. It is equally well known that sentences for crack are harsher than for powdered cocaine. I would submit that the criminal justice system is one of the last bastions of American society where prejudice has undue influence.
I won’t bother with links but it is a known fact for example that blacks are disproportionately put on death row compared to other minorities.
Has it ever occurred to you that they commit a disproportionate number of those crimes? I mean, seriously. You don’t hear about the mean streets of suburbia, or the danger of gentrified neighborhoods. Calling it America’s problem implies that America is to blame for it. You know how far that premise is going to get with me.
It is equally well known that sentences for crack are harsher than for powdered cocaine.
Not that I’ve ever examined the rationale for the Federal Sentencing Guidlines in depth, but perhaps it might have something to do with the price of the finished product versus its addictiveness, or are you asserting that crack is primarily a “minority” drug and powder cocaine is not?
Exactly .. it is a well known assertion and commonly accepted in many circles.
LIke how the “evil rich” just refuse to pay “their fair share”? That kind of “well known assertion” that is “commonly accepted in many [simple] circles”?
C’mon. You can do better than that.
R, I think you’ve gone full circle. Is Obama to play race politics (through Holder, SCOTUS, almost all bureaucratic posts) or stay above them? There’s no shortage of pandering and rhetoric at the the Hispanic population coming from the Obama administration.
Blacks make up 41.58% of death row inmates.
Backs make up 47% of the murderers. (as are half of those murdered are black men) In New York that number goes up to 68%. It appears to me they are underrepresented.
Explain to me how they are overrepresented on death row if they, on average, commit more murders? They are 13% of the population, yet are responsible for almost half of all murders.
BiW and Car_in compare the number of blacks on death row for a particular crime to the number of whites on death row for the same crime. That is the only way you can discern disproportionate sentencing.
Is there a problem with your reading comprension?
Car in is using the murder statistics number. Of course, the dimension that you aren’t pointing out in your analysis, which also tends to affect the outcome is evidence…amount, quality of, was there a confession, were there aggraviating circumstances? It’s more than a little facetious to say that the crime alone is the determanitive factor.
R, you confuse association with causation.
Recidivism and aggravating circumstances are a huge factor in sentencing disparity. You can’t dismiss them and draw meaningful conclusions about perceived racism in the criminal justice system.
The crack cocaine versus powdered cocaine has to do with federal sentencing guidelines — a matter of policy not inherent judicial racism.
Does anyone have the sample on the death row stat? Obviously not all states have the death penalty and there are demographic issues.
NEVER. 😉
I told people three years ago who feared such things that Obama was much too stupid to be the anti-Christ. He’s only reinforced that opinion as fact since.
But I thought was corrupted enough and incompetent enough, he could usher in a lot of heartache preceding Babylon.
He hasn’t disappointed the evil doers.
In some ways I actually thought Waters finally uttered something good. The reality is though that Obama played the CBC in a way that was hamfisted at best.
R think about,touting the “greatness” of the Dream Act to one group and telling others to stop complaining could be seen as even BHO recognizing that in American politics blacks have become third,fourth class citizens. Psst I think most (D)’s think that too.
Not sure you’d get an argument from me on that Alfie. Obama has in my estimation never shown any inclination that he really cares about the “black community”. Could be lots of reasons why, first and foremost that as a black President, he wants to avoid any scent of racial favoritism. The other reason is that Obama simply has not had the “American black experience”. His formative years were spent off the mainland and he was raised primarily by white people. I wouldn’t be so sure that the “brother” has any real affinity for blacks.
Sure he does. Like I do about my dog. He’s always friendly no matter my mood, loves me to death for simply feeding him and keeping warm & dry, and a pat on the head wins unconditional love.
What exactly is this “black experience” you speak? Did Herman Cain or Clarence Thomas have a “black experience.” How about Thomas Sowell? All three are old enough to remember Jim Crow, contrary to say somebody like you.
Obama has affinity for anybody that can enrich him. His phony wife is worse.
In answer to your question, yes, I would assume that Herman Cain, Clarence Thomas and Thomas Sowell had a more “typical” black experience than Obama did. Unlike someone who grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia, these three men were exposed to the racial tensions of the day, if not exposed to outright racism. This effects one’s world view.
Does that explain why Obama is a self-absorbed asshole? Because he didn’t have the ‘black experience’?
🙂
