MSNBC host uses racial slur to describe the Romney campaign

August 16, 2012

 While in front of a mostly black crowd earlier this week Joe Biden evoked the memory of slavery in an attempt to scare black voters into voting for Barack Obama when he stated that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan wanted to put “y’all back in chains.” Clearly a racially insensitive remark and despite the spin put on the comment by Barack Obama this was not simply a gaffe or “Joe being Joe,” this was a deliberate attempt to paint the Romney ticket as racist.

  Needless to say, Mitt Romney was offended by this characterization and he fought back by telling Barack Obama to take his “campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago.”

  MSNBC host Touré took exception to Mitt Romney’s rebuke of Barack Obama, and this is what he had to say:

That really bothered me,” he said. “You notice he said anger twice. He’s really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the ‘otherization,’ he’s not like us.”

“I know it’s a heavy thing, I don’t say it lightly, but this is ‘niggerization,’” Touré said to the apparent shock of his co-panelists. “You are not one of us, you are like the scary black man who we’ve been trained to fear.”

  When Joe Biden evoked images of slavery Touré apparently didn’t have a problem, but when Mitt Romney used the word ‘angry’ he interpreted that as a racist comment because it played into a stereotype of the angry black man and claimed Mitt Romney was involved in the “niggerization”  of  Barack Obama by trying to scare white people away from the president.

  A totally disgraceful and disgusting attack on Mitt Romney without merit or substance, but for the sake of argument let us pretend he has a point.

 If simply using the word ‘angry’ constitutes a racist attack what does it mean when a Democrat runs an ad against a black Republican which portrays him as a boxer with gold teeth beating up white women and stealing money from white families? Is this not also an attempt at instilling fear in voters to persuade them to vote against a candidate? That is precisely what happened to Allen West last week and yet I don’t remember  Touré complaining about this stereotypical portrayal of a black man as a criminal and thug. Was this not the “niggerization” of Allen West? It seems so to me.

  And the beat goes on…..

    The Obama Regime and their PR Team lead by David Axelrod could care less for decency or truth. Their method is to Divide and Conquer and Obama could care less as long as he gets to keep pretending to be the Leader of the USA, while he golfs and vacations daily, with his only responsibility is to come out when Ordered by his Handlers to Read some Crap Lies and Propaganda being supplied by David Axelrod and his other Propagandist Handlers.

      Barack Obama’s whole campaign strategy is to divide and conquer and the more desperate they become the more vile the attacks will be. This is only the beginning.

    As I surfed MSLSD two days ago I saw this metrosexual Toure for the first time. I don’t know what the other three viewers thought but I figured he was a shoe salesman-apologies to Al Bundy-who stumbled onto the set and was immediately hired. Compared to him Ed and Rachel appear almost semi intelligent. CNN shows more leg and MSLSD hires Toure.

    This creep has zero credibility and even as he is probably the first black american in his family making six figures for spewing bilge he still resents those rich white boys who make this possible.

      I had never heard of this guy before, and judging from this I haven’t missed much. Is it any wonder that nobody watches MSNBC?

    NIGGER IS A WORD THAT IS THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED VERBOTEN BY THOSE ON THE LEFT AS WELL AS MANY ON THE RIGHT. BUT I MUST TELL YOU THE WORD IS NOT DISRESPECTFUL OF BLACKS. AS A YOUNG BOY IN MISSISSIPPI I WAS RAISED WITH THE WORD AND MANY OF MY CLOSEST NEIGHBORS WERE BLACK. THE KIDS I PLAYED WITH WERE BLACK AND MANY OF THE FUNERALS I ATTENDED IN MY YOUTH WERE THOSE OF OUR BLACK NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS. AND QUITE FRANKLY, I’M SICK OF HEARING ABOUT HOW SOUTHERNERS ARE RACIST. SURE WE HAD SLAVES BACK BEFORE THE GREAT WAR BETWEEN THE STATES, BUT THERE WERE JUST AS MANY FREEDMEN IN THE SOUTH BEFORE THE WAR AS IN THE NORTH—WELL THAT’S ANOTHER STORY. AS FOR BIDEN AND HIS COMMENTS—-HE IS PLAYING TO HIS BASE WHICH CONSISTS OF THE AMERICAN BLACK VOTERS WHO CONSISTENTLY VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRAT IN MODERN TIMES. BUT THE PLANTATION BLACK OF THE OLD SOUTH HAS RE-EMERGED, IN PART, DUE TO THE GREAT SOCIETY OF LBJ AND THE MODERN DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND IT’S POLICIES OF GIVING WELFARE TO THOSE MISFORTUNES IN ORDER TO GAIN THEIR SUPPORT IN THE NEXT ELECTION. THE DEMOCRATS MAY HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS, OR JUST MAYBE THEY HAVE DARKER MOTIVES, BUT THE RESULT IS JUST THE SAME—THE BLACK MAN HAS BECOME DEPEND ON THEIR GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS AND THIS HAS LED MANY OF THEM TO EVEN MORE POVERTY AND DEPENDENCY ON THE GREAT WHITE FATHER MUCH IN THE SAME WAY THE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN WAS TRAPPED ON THE RESERVATION. BIDEN HAD SOMETHING RIGHT—THE CHAINS OF SLAVERY STILL EXIST, BUT THEY ARE NOT THE CHAINS OF DAYS GONE BY BUT THE CHAINS OF THE DEMOCRATIC WELFARE STATE. EXCUSE, I DON’T NORMALLY COPY AND PASTE BUT MY SPELLING IS SECOND RATE SO I PUT INTO MY BLOG AND CORRECT ON A LONG COMMENT SUCH AS THIS..

      So true Ron, if anyone has put shackles on black America it is the Democrats because it is they who have made them slaves to the government through entitlements and they have done it on purpose to create a permanent underclass designed to keep them in need of assistance for their survival.

      Ron, we will have to agree to disagree, that word is one that is not allowed to be used in my presence, not by anyone of any color. As for the chains of slavery, they are color blind. There are too many people that are willing to trade their freedom for free stuff, don’t want to have to work too hard to have what they want. They don’t want to take responsibility for bad choices and need for others to be their safety net. Priorities have gotten all out of whack: can’t afford health insurance because cable, cell phones, eating out, and buying stuff comes first. There are also too many people having children they can’t afford, no problem – government will help. I could go on and on but realize that this is a cultural problem, not a color problem. I know far too many people of all colors that fall into this mentality.

    Toure, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Xan Jones, and a slew of glack Rollwood actors are always playing the victim game. These people are the worst racist in the country. When kackie droke into the Big Leagues, it was important , as the first black, to do well. He did very well and it was good for baseball and it was good for America. I feel bad for black Americans. We finally elect our first black President and what did we get? Barrack Obama- It was important that our first black President be successful and a President of all the people. Because of Barack Obama, I have to wonder hpw long it will be before America elects their second black President.

      You are correct Jim, those that attempt to use the black man as a tool for their agenda while pretending to be protecting them are the ones who are doing the harm to them by making them reliant on the government.

      The SOB’s performance has wiped out whatever legitimacy was associated with his election as “The First Black President.” His legacy will be that of a Mr. Bo Jangles. He has done for the black presidency what Jackson, Sharptonand and Wright have done for the image of a black clergyman. Sadly though, anecdotely he will be remembered as a great liberator in selected “communities.”

        Steve,
        It’s heartening to know that others see this pimple on the ass of America for what he is. It’s heartening to know that not every black person in America is buying the snake oil from these true slavemasters.

        It sure is, and I think the anti-Obama sentiment is growing but the media is downplaying it in order to keep liberals under the impression this is a close race, hoping that this will drive more of them to the polls in November.

    The New York Times has identified commonalities the two share as individuals and politicians What do President Barack Obama and his Republican competition Mitt Romney have in common? Many would claim nothing except for their contentious health care reform programs.
