Robert George, an African-American, Republican editorial writer for the New York Post, agrees that Bennett's comments were not meant as racist. But he worries they feed into stereotypes of Republicans as insensitive. "His overall point about not making broad sociological claims and so forth, that was a legitimate point," George said. "But it seems to me someone with Bennett's intelligence … should know better the impact of his words and sort of thinking these things through before he speaks."

25. Good on ya. It's time to resort to TOUGH LOVE with the assholes in our

lives.

4. Black Repub should be worrying about what the hell he is doing in a party

that hates him and people who look like him.

And is dude saying that "aborting black babies would bring down the crime rate" is a legitimate point?

[salin]

7. bingo!

my immediate thought as well. Ugh! The implication that the point was "legitimate" is appalling.

5. Harry Belafonte has a term for guys like this. n/t

8. what this "black repub" doesn't see is how

Mississippi was helped during Hurricane Katrina and Louisiana was NOT!!

[devilgrrl]

21. you are a "black repub"?

Why republican? I don't get it. Explain please.

[lcordero2]

24. nope, I'm not a repub I was talking about the black repub

in the post at the top

[sonicx]

9. "Black Republican" needs to open his eyes and...

realize Republicans being racist isn't a stereotype.

[marmar]

10. Black repubs, Latino repubs, gay repubs...

I just don't understand them. This party has actively opposed just about every measure to create fairness in society, and they still cozy up to it.

[GRLMGC]

12. Me neither

I'm a Latina and I register voters sometimes. Whenever I see another person of color registering Republican, my blood pressure rises. I can't say anything because I'm supposed to be "non-partisan"

[marmar]

15. Amen, my sister...

I'm African American, and we have this relative from Arizona who visited for Thanksgiving and she started rambling on about how she voted for Bush and couldn't trust Kerry. A dead silence fell over the dinner table and she got hate-filled stares from everybody. She kept her politics to herself after that.

11. Not racist? Not racist?

He called for the ABORTION of all black babies! Said it would make crime fall all around the country! Fuck him! It is worms like Bennett that KEEP THE POOR DOWN and love to fuck over people on a daily basis. Bennett is a pile of crap.

[Cocoa]

13. he's "blunt spoken"

according to Jake Tapper. :puke:

The blunt-spoken Bennett has ruffled feathers before, most recently in 2003 for revelations that despite his best-selling books about virtue and values, he is a high-rolling preferred customer at Las Vegas and Atlantic City casinos.

[tularetom]

14. Now you went and ruined it for Robert George

He was hoping they wouldn't find out he was black...

[tamtam]

16. They should be worried

and they are no friend of black people. Dude basically said that we (black people) are better off dead. If my mother would just listen to her conscious and aborted me all would be right with the world. There is seriously something wrong with any black person that would apologize for this or defend this. In my eyes they are no better than this asshole. Any person that would defend this is out there but any BLACk person that would defend this needs an intervention.

18. I think the fact that dude is 'Black Repub Editorial Writer' gives a clue

about the individual.

Can we say self loathing anyone?

[buff2]

17. Wonder what Armstrong Williams and Jesse Peterson think

about Bennett's remarks? BTW.....whatever happened to those two? They dropped completely out of sight.

[KingFlorez]

19. Ah, the Republican plantation is tap dancing once again

For the party that hates his guts. Bush could paint his face black and sing "Mammy" to Condi and this guy would still excuse it.

[CatWoman]

22. unce, tice, fee times a mady...........

[KingFlorez]

23. ROFL!

:rofl: :rofl:

[MasonJar]

20. Well, duh!

[Tower]

26. Not "insenstive", Bobby. *Assholes*.

Republicans have a well-earned reputation for being *assholes*.

27. Speaking of stereotyping,

"I'm worried that Col. Sanders' cooking may feed into stereotypes of him as anti-chicken. I love my colonel!"

28. When oh when will this bizzaro world turn itself around? nt

29. A black liberal radio host

here in St Louis who used to smack down repubs for 4 hours every morning.
In an exchange on the Rodney King beating, a local white neo-caller tried to refute the host speaking to the racist element of this event with a statement similar to "but one of the officers at the scene was black"
The host replied to him that, " if a law was put forward tomorrow to make it legal to return to lynching blacks for no reason, there would still be some black folks who would vote for it."

Robert George, Armstrong Williams, Jesse Lee Petersen, Roy Innis are some examples of those who would get up early to get to the polls on that voting day.
