A disturbing video was unearthed and posted on YouTube yesterday. It was a 3:45-minute clip from a rally in Washington, D.C. At this rally, which took place on November 7, 2009, the speakers cursed incessantly before a cheering crowd—including young children who were watching while sitting on the stage.
One speaker declared that they were at war [with other Americans] and that they all needed to take up an aggressive struggle against their adversaries—fellow U.S. citizens.
Another speaker besmirched the Jewish people and Israel and rambled on like a lunatic about Zionist plots against them and their allies
Yet another dedicated his speech to the Fort Hood shooter, who had blown away 13 innocent people just two days prior.
Oh, there’s more: These speakers and their audience were clearly not fans of President Obama. How do I know? Because to a still cheering and encouraging crowd, speakers called Obama a coon, a m*therf**ker, and, several times, a n*gger. One speaker, a foul-mouthed woman who made particular use of these racial slurs, demanded that someone “whup [Obama’s] ass.”
Yes, dear reader. There is now actual clear video evidence of President Obama being the target of racial slurs and receiving violent threats.
This must be one of those racist Tea Parties we keep hearing about, right? The ones with the “racist elements”?
Or maybe it’s a group of angry, white old people who gathered to hear from their favorite Fox News commentators or right-wing talk-show hosts?
Perhaps it’s a recent gathering of the RNC or some conservative group that has been the media has accused of stoking racial tensions and unrest since a black man got in the White House?
No, no, and no. It isn’t any of those things. This public display of hatred, violence, and racism was brought to you by a coalition called “Black Is Back” and the event was co-organized by one Reverend (!) Curtis Gatewood, a long-time official of the NAACP in North Carolina.
If the majority of Rev. Gatewood’s controversial actions and statements have been under the radar, his first major clash with the national NAACP leadership was not. Four days after 9/11, on September 15th, 2001, Gatewood (then in his position as president of the Durham NAACP) gave a fiery speech at a monthly local NAACP meeting in which he implied that the World Trade Center victims were racists, and he called upon African-Americans not to fight in any wars against terrorism.
“Black males can no longer be used as sacrificial lambs at the time of war….Those black males who make it back home alive from war are likely to come home and be discriminated against by the very people whose businesses were headquartered in the World Trade Center, racially abused/profiled by an American police officer, killed on the streets in their crime-infested neighborhoods, or harmed by Bush administration policies….This is not the time to sacrifice our fathers, sons and brothers to a country that has not protected our rights.”
Jeez. This guy almost makes Jeremiah “G0d damn America” Wright look moderate by comparison.
You might be wondering at this point why a coalition of black people are so pissed off at Barack Obama.
As you will find out from watching the video below, it is mainly because he is too lenient to whites, as well as to Jews and Israel. That is, in their eyes, Obama isn’t “black” enough. They believe he has coddled those they consider the biggest enemies of blacks, and that he has sold out to who his true friends should be, including the Palestinians and other areas of the Muslim world supposedly oppressed by whites and Jews, and even Jeremiah Wright.
All right. Here’s the clip [from YBH via Weasel Zippers]. I highly recommend you watch it far away from sharp objects.
November 7, two-thousand-freaking-nine. Nearly 10 months this event took place. And we’re just finding out now what went down there.
These are sick, and, quite frankly, dangerous, people. Yet there they are under the auspices of the NAACP, which, as we are all very aware, is very sensitive to the “racist elements” of certain groups. As Stein reminds us:
At its July 2010 annual convention, the NAACP approved a resolution condemning “racist elements” in the Tea Party movement and calling on the movement’s leaders to repudiate bigotry and reject any “racism and anti-Semitism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry in their movement.”
Well guys, how about rejecting this? In fact, at the end of the video, the words on the screen present three questions:
Where is the outcry from the media?
My answer: There won’t be. Only whites can be racist. In this current political climate, even if there’s no evidence of racism, you’ll either be accused of thinking racist thoughts or you’ll just have stories about you made up out of whole cloth.
Where is the outcry from the NAACP?
My answer: They’ll most likely pull a Sherrod/Breitbart by claiming the video was either doctored or taken out of context, and then ignore it.
What if this had been a Tea Party protest?
My answer: It wouldn’t have been. Because, unlike these hateful pieces of human excrement, members of the Tea Party movement never have and never would behave this way.
