really,i find it funny getbig's bigot responding to this post :o :D :D
I wonder how it feels for getbig's bigot and msnbc to be as one :D
Democrats are racists. That is a fact.
They call blacks that don't agree with them uncle toms.
The Tea Party right off the bat was called racist and labeled a "group of angry old white men".
And now this.
A leopard can't change its spots no matter how much it tries.
how are them presidential elections treating you :D :D :D
I remember Republicans killing Dems in 2010.
Looks like 2014 will be worse.
Oh, how soon do they forget!
Ahhhh, Presidential elections didn't begin in 2008. Prior to that there were 20 years of Republican presidency to only 8 of racist democrats.
How much can a racist democratic president achieve if both houses belong to the GOP in 2014?
must be why minorities vote overwhelmingly for dems:D :D :D :D

Two Centuries of Racism - Brought to You by the Democrat Party

The Left’s self-righteous proclamation of compassion is matched only by their insatiable eagerness to twist history. It was the Republican Party – the party established on the abolitionist platform – that passed the Civil Rights acts of 1866 and 1875. The founders of the NAACP were all registered Republicans. Dwight Eisenhower (a Republican) is the president who sent troops to Arkansas to de-segregate schools. Republicans carried the Civil Rights acts of the ‘50s and 60’s to the President’s desk. Richard Nixon wrote the US commission on Civil Rights in 1975. It was George W Bush who appointed more minorities to his cabinet than any President before him.
you like to post shit from the past,but it's people like you that show what the party is all about now
The Democrats don't live in the past?
It never changed.
Stupid libtards confuse the desire to empower people to fend off for themselves by working as some kind of overture to racism. Libtards also have a problem with enforcing the laws of this country, especially immigration and voter id laws. All that is racism to the morons on the left.
But we know that the reason they oppose all of this is because the racists on the left want to stay in power by shackling the minds of many with dependency on the government. They want to continue the false narrative that people are entitled to be taken care of from the cradle to the grave and increase their base of drones who want something for nothing.
Only fools can not see that the KKK slaveowners of the left now use the chains of entitlement.
THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEATED
Holy shit, no all-caps or extra exclamation points in your post? What's going on? Depressive phase coming on, or what?

The Truth About Republican Racism and the “Southern Strategy”
June 4, 2013 By Allen Clifton
Whenever the topic of racism gets brought up between Democrats and Republicans, there are two facts you’ll almost always hear conservatives use to counter the belief that their party is full of racism:
◾President Abraham Lincoln was a Republican
◾The KKK was largely organized, and populated by, Democrats
And both are facts.
But when someone uses these two items as their defense that the Republican party isn’t loaded with racism, they’re only showing their ignorance about the reality of racism within their party.
It’s true, Southern Democrats were extremely racist. At the same time, Northern “liberal” Democrats and Republicans had already been working together to end discrimination and pushed for ending segregation.
See, in 1948, President Harry Truman made one of the boldest public moves by a Democrat towards Civil Rights for African Americans by creating the President’s Committee on Civil Rights, and ending discrimination in the military. At the Democratic National Convention in 1948 a call was made for civil rights—prompting at least 35 Southern delegates to walk out.
These movements towards civil rights for African Americans spurred a short-lived political party — the States Rights Democratic Party, also known as the “Dixiecrats.” The people who comprised this movement adamantly defended segregation of the races. It was an attempt to keep the “tyrannical Northern liberals” from “destroying the freedom of states’ rights in the South.”
Luckily, this political party only lasted one election. But what this movement really did was recognize the shift of Democrats embracing equality for African Americans and Southern whites strongly opposing any mention of civil rights.
The moves by President Truman sparked the spread of equality in the South and left Southern white Democrats with a feeling that their party was abandoning their racist — and oppressive — system of beliefs.
Over the next decade, more and more Democrats began to embrace equality, passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. And while more African Americans began to vote for Democrats, in the late-1960′s a new Republican strategy was put into place—the “Southern strategy.”
This was a plan was that was first popularized by Richard Nixon.
What the “Southern strategy” essentially does is it identified the fact that African Americans were voting for Democrats, therefore Republicans decided they would make white voters more aware of this fact in hopes of driving the “white vote” towards the Republican party.
Doubt me? Let’s look at a comment from a 1970′s interview in the New York Times with Richard Nixon’s political strategist:
“From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don’t need any more than that…but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That’s where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.”
Essentially it was the Republican party saying, “Look, blacks are voting for Democrats so you white people need to vote for Republicans—the party that will represent whites and oppose the blacks.”
With this strategy, you saw the official shift of the Republican party from the “party of Lincoln” to the party which embraced white racism towards African Americans to solidify the white vote in the South.
So, yeah, it’s easy to say Lincoln was a Republican and the KKK was largely built by Democrats, but by doing so you only prove your own ignorance of history. You’re ignoring the fact that as Democrats evolved to embrace equality for African Americans, Southern racists were left looking for a new political party — and they found one that not only embraced their racism and bigotry, it sought it out.
And that party they found was the Republican party.

Very negative connotation put on the coverage, ...however, I viewed the show in context, and it didn't come across to me as the coverage implied. Infact, I heard a lot of oohs and awws as the picture was shown. It's quite possible a track of oohs & awws were later laid down, however, i didn't see what the vicious mocking of a child, the original coverage implied. The comment in question was the comment of one person. It could be however, that I viewing her comments against the backdrop of comments directed towards John McCains family by fellow Republicans over his adopted Bangladeshi daughter. Now those were vicious.BULL SHIT, you either didnt watch the video or youre a racist prick.
Personally, I thought the baby was adorable.
It was part of the 'Nerdland-Caption That' segment. 5 minute segment.
http://video.msnbc.msn.com/mhp/53936951 (http://video.msnbc.msn.com/mhp/53936951)
Comment was rude, inappropriate - and also, quite unfunny.
There are some comedians that offend but are downright funny.
This host isn't funny, isn't thought provoking, isn't pointing out anything that matters, and really isn't doing anything but picking on a baby due to its race.
I haven't watched msnbc in about a year - my posts her make it clear I've watched maybe 5-6 times and posted every time lol - but I've always found this host Melissa Harris-Perry to be, frankly, not interesting at all. I mean, contessa brewer was a pissed off wreck. that alex whit something was kinda hot milfish. Dan abrams was a funny little dude. Jerry nachman was AWESOME. Lester holt was like a caricature of a news anchor.
these new hosts are boring as fck, let's be honest.

100% accurate
BULL SHIT, you either didnt watch the video or youre a racist prick.
They obviously were making fun of that child implying he doesnt belong in the picture calling him a token.
Way to dismiss the outright hypocrisey and racism
of course you had no problem with it ::)
were the guards in prison racist toward you, or did they despise you for your personality instead?
HAHAHAHA!!
Now she apologizes.

MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry offered an apology to the Romney family on Tuesday after a panel on her show mocked the fact that one of Mitt Romney's grandchildren was black.

It is not the first time that those type of remarks, attacking someone's family, are made on MSNBC.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/sarah-palin-msnbc-mitt-romney-attack-article-1.1562152
Panelist and comedian Judy Gold commented on Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, expressing her dismay that the Republican was the father of two daughters, Catherine and Caroline.
"Men like this … they have daughters. That disturbs me," she said, chiding Cruz and conservative Republicans for being anti-women.

There was no point in showing that photo other than to make fun of it.
That's what's so disgusting.
Actually Tu, the segment was about controversial photos that got a lot of reaction during the year.
Romney's photo got a lot of reaction in 2013. That was the point of including it with the others they showed.
Bull. The only reason it got a reaction was because people are sad and they wanted to make fun of Romney.
Quit pandering to the liberal groups.
Was it, or was it not a photo that got a huge amount of reaction throughout the year?
No question in my mind Pia's reaction to the photo was indeed tasteless. That she would even say that on national television is a very poor reflection on her IMO, however, I viewed Obeidallah's comment as a jab at the Republican Party, not at the baby.
I'm not pandering to anyone, ...I'm just not feeling manipulated by the outrage.
Is it simply because this isn't the type of outrage you're normally manipulated by? Some people drink only Pepsi and other only coke. They choose the brand most appealing to them but in the end they are both drinking sugar water.
No, I just didn't think the show was deliberately making fun of, or attempting to attack a baby.
I think Pia revealed herself to be a racist, ...and I believe the flack is hers.
I think the show's editors and producers were asleep at the wheel for letting Pia's comment go out there,
...and I'm glad that Melissa Harris-Perry, as the host of the show took responsibility, and issued an unreserved apology to the Romney family for any hurt the segment may have caused them. It would have been nice if her apology was extended to everyone, ...especially those in blended multiracial families, but my head is not yet exploding over the commentary.
I don't see the need to attack Ted Cruz in that manner either.
You may disagree with his politics but he has always presented himself as a stand up individual IMO.
It could be a very valid thought. Have any of you cringed at an individual to such an extent, you have to ask yourself what their home life must be like?
I think Pia's comment in that segment were spot on. He could have used anything, ...this was his "Hitler moment", and he instead chose Dr. Seuss? WTF?!?!
Myself and all my siblings, with the exception of one of my sister, married and had children with someone who was of a difference race or multiracial. My brothers wife is particularly dark. Their children turned out very light. I'd hate to think people are talking like that when my brother is out with his kids or his wife for that matter.
I watched the video, I thought Pia's comment reflected her mentality.you feel it teaches prejudice and agree that in this case it was b/c the child was black yet you still dont see it as racist and hypocritical and still minimize it...
I thought the baby was adorable. As far as the picture goes, my immediate thoughts were,
...waaaaay too much pink. But that's just me. Maybe I'm weighing my reaction against an impression formed by the initial condemnation. I also got the impression they were taking a poke at Romney, and not the child.
In any event, I agree it was in very poor taste.
As an aside, Pia's little song, has always been one of my biggest objections to Sesame Street.
It teaches pre-schoolers some great things, ...but it also teaches prejudice and conformity. :'(
Was it, or was it not a photo that got a huge amount of reaction throughout the year?LOL i follow politics pretty close and I never heard of the photo prior to this racist and hypocritical bull shit
No question in my mind Pia's reaction to the photo was indeed tasteless. That she would even say that on national television is a very poor reflection on her IMO, however, I viewed Obeidallah's comment as a jab at the Republican Party, not at the baby.
I'm not pandering to anyone, ...I'm just not feeling manipulated by the outrage.
We have much in common in that sense. My family is also very multiracial, as well as a variety of shades. I have cousins who look Caucasian, others who look African, others whose appearance reflect their Philipino ancestry. I have some cousins who are 100% African American, yet look 100% caucasian in appearance etc., etc., I have a Canadian born biracial cousin, who is half Jamaican, half Swedish who married a Spanish lady. They just gave birth to their 2nd child. His son is the spitting image of his Swedish paternal grandfather, and the little girl who was born just before Christmas looks just like his Spanish mother.the reason you are minimizing the racism in this case is b/c it is coming from someone with your political ideology and look like you.
I've seen, heard, and experienced ignorant comments like Pia's my whole life. Perhaps I've become desensitized to it... I don't know? I just know that segment did not leave me foaming at the mouth. Maybe it's because I've seen and heard some truly disgusting commentary that the Republicans in the GWB camp levelled at John McCain during the primaries leading up to the 2004 election? Maybe it's because I've seen this picture posted on GetBig for years with all the possible juvenile commentary. Now all of a sudden there is moral outrage? I guess I'm all outraged out.

LOL. Now who is being racist? ::) ::)actually you hypocritical clown I have a very good idea about your political ideology, YOUVE BEEN POSTING YOUR IRRELEVANT OPINION ON A POLITICS BOARD FOR YEARS NOW!!!!
You have no clue about my political ideology. If you did, you wouldn't make such stupid & false comments.
Politics & personalities are different things.
actually you hypocritical clown I have a very good idea about your political ideology, YOUVE BEEN POSTING YOUR IRRELEVANT OPINION ON A POLITICS BOARD FOR YEARS NOW!!!!
LMFAO so its racist for me to say that you are being biased due to your racism and sexism?
look and learn boys this is the liberal double standard at work....
I have been posting my dislike of certain political personalities for years,hahah when called out on their hypocrisy and racism the libtard results to childish deflections
...but what have you seen me post of my political beliefs in the past 5 years now?
The only person I would trust to venture an opinion on my political ideology with any degree of accuracy would be 240. He has a keen analytical mind and can frequently see below the surface of appearances, ...but I could be wrong. He may himself be deceived.
ps: Stop melting down. The temperatures are too cold today for anything to be melting.
Thats right folks more liberal hypocrisey, can you imagine if Bill Oreilly or Rush Limbaugh had said these things?
but this will get swept under the rug by the liberal retards, and we will see a microcosim here...so get to it libtards

MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry concluded the “What’s So Funny About 2013?” segment of her Sunday show with a chorus of laughter at the black grandson pictured in former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s family Christmas photo. The chuckles were directed at baby Kieran – who was adopted by Romney’s son Ben and his wife Andelynne in September.
“One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn’t the same,” panelist Pia Glenn offered as a caption for the photo, which the Romneys tweeted on Christmas Eve. (Lyrics of the original Sesame Street song are, “One of these things just doesn’t belong.”)
“And that little baby, front and center, would be the one,” Glenn said.
Comedian Dean Obeidallah joked that the baby is a token.
“It really sums up the diversity of the Republican party and the RNC, where they have the whole convention and they find the one black person.”
dems seem only to win elections based on religious style myths of evil white guys keeping everyone down
the unasked question is what about production?
who makes the skyscrapers and cyclotrons? hint its not europeans or rap stars!! lol
The workers build them. You know the people who gather in unions that you hate so much.
These "workers" are generally lazy, unimaginative folk who would starve to death if not given meaningful work to do. They should be on their hands and knees thanking their employers.
What do the army and Kinney Shoe Corp have in common? Half a million black loafers.
Im guessing you are not in construction then ;D

Personally, I've found it is the Republican conservatives who bring religion into every election cycle.::).
...especially the last two. This phenomenon is also for the most part only found in the USA. :-\

And liberal democrats bring what?
An attempt to address real issues facing the country, ...or at the appearance of that. Republicans... :-\
oh, brother, you are one ignorant toss pieceit literally is not worth the time to point out her stupidity....
these democrat "ideas" are garbage...monkeys like you with sludgy vag's fall for it all the time
go kill yourself
