There are times in one’s life that we must simply shake our heads, and look heavenward – realizing that the moment defies our ability to understand.
This, however, is not one of them. We should en masse – with one clear and united voice, condemn Andre Carson, (D-IN). Carson was caught on tape at a Congressional Black Caucus event in Miami, saying: “some in Congress would love to see us as second-class citizens and some of them in Congress right now of this Tea Party movement would love to see you and me…hanging on a tree.” He went on too say ‘the Tea Party is stopping change in Congress, likening it to “the effort that we’re seeing of Jim Crow.’”
This is one of the most unambiguous and flagrant attempts to incite racial animus and uprising we have seen since the days of Bull Connor, Lester Maddox, and Orville Faubus. Carson’s remarks can be viewed as nothing less than a blatant to incite violence in the streets.
His spokesman said: “The congressman used strong language because the Tea Party agenda jeopardizes our most vulnerable and leaves them without the ability to improve their economic standing.” That is a scurrilous and morally opprobrious lie, that is apparently in keeping with Carson’s character or lack there of.
One of the things most notable is the absence of presidential and Democrat Party leadership. Why is Obama not publicly condemning such a despiteous and potentially incendiary racist
screed by one of the leaders of his party? Were is the sassy-mouth Wasserman-Shultz? This is the time for presidential and Democrat Party leadership to step up and chasten this type of hateful, seditious, speech by one of the leaders of their Party.
What if known supremacist groups began a public symphony of oratories spreading such stories about Muslims? Would the Obama White House and Democrat Party leadership be silent then? Is the fact that Carson is a Muslim, black, and a Democrat or all three responsible for earning him a pass?
Would they be as transpicuously silent if a member of the Ku Klux Klan or the Ayrian Brotherhood, said the NAACP advocated raping and kidnapping white children? Carson’s racist screed is unfounded, unjust, and should be met with the harshest ridicule.
He should be forced to explain his understanding of how on the present path of spending and lack of fiscal constraint, America can continue in the years ahead? I challenge him to explain what difference it would make if every person he classifies as rich paid 95% of their gross income in taxes with no loopholes? Would that reduce spending, would it reduce the national debt, would it put people back to work? The answer to those questions is a resounding no.
Why does the president and the Democrat Party object to a movement of the people that calls for fiscal constraint, reduced spending, smaller government and lower taxes?
This is an outright attack on those they are attempting to portray as singularly white. One cannot help but believe that this is an attempt to incite racial discord that ultimately spills over into the streets. As I wrote in my column “Blackdom infighting just an act?” – I believe there is something sinister lurking in the shadows of the invigorated racial screeds coming from black Democrats and their public sector allies.
I know many on my own side of the aisle will disagree – but that is because they are committed to refusing to understand many blacks resent whites and conservative whites in particular. They view themselves as too “intellectually informed” too believe many blacks are still longing for the moment that whites are made to pay for perceived crimes and injustices – that are based on a socialist panacea that the white man hasn’t paid his debt to them and said can only be done through forceful taking.
There is no plausible way the racial complaints against the Tea Party that are being parroted by black liberals are accidental. They are intentional and if you listen closely one hears the subtle cacophony of talking points. These outbursts are organized to undermine the organizing of peoples who object to the way our government is being managed.
They don’t just fear the Tea Party, they fear you and I more. It is up to us to let them know their fears are justified. Not because we are planning violence, but because we are resolute in our intentions to vote them and Obama out. And that we will not be bullied or intimidated by their racist attacks.

Wow I am in total love with her! She is gosh darn beautiful and not to mention a really good actor http://edfdsfesf.webs.com
Again: SAY IT MYCHAL!!! Yes, they are longing for violence…but I don’t believe it is secret. Just one example among many is Al Gore calling for an Arab Spring. So easy to be the pot stirrer, when anything goes down he won’t be on the front lines. He’ll be safely hidden away with the rest of them calling the shots. So sad to watch others, even loved ones, being mindless sheep bleating what they hear but not listening to the actual words they say.
These “leaders” stir others’ hearts to anger and contention is of the devil. The Tea Partiers, and others, will be forced into fighting if it comes to that. Hopefully it won’t but it appears we will to have to defend our God, country, family and property.
I wonder if Obama will be declared the winner in the next election regardless of whether he wins or not. If he gains enough control or executes enough “Executive Orders” it may not matter the actual outcome of the votes cast.
christina s: we may not know what to expect from him next but we know it will be bad…
We are all Americans –first. When we realize that and work together under God people like Carson will disappear along with all race hustlers. Obama and his ilk have set race relations back fifty years.
VietVet: precisely the point I make about referencing color…we need to ignore color…
I agree that color should have nothing to do with politics.
As to the subject of violence I wish to exolain my most frightening fear. I have been afraid ever since Obama took office he might rely on his power to call for martial law if he needs to.
I have predicted that if Obama were to realize that his re-election was not to be he would set up a national emergency (like conflagration and rioting in the streets.)and use it for establishing martial law and postpone or eliminate the election until he served another term.
This occupy walstreet may be the beginning of that scenario.
don a. bright: i don’t see that scenario happening…
Hope you’re right, Mychal. But this guy is egotistical enough to do anything.
Thanks for the reply
Don
don a. bright: I hear talk about this happening from reputable people…but I don’t see it happening…
I appreciate your optimism, Mychal, but I think Don A. Bright could be right on the money. When campaigning, obama said he wanted a civilian militia as “well-armed and as well-funded as our military.” That scared me a lot. Why would a president need a personal political police force? We have city, county, state, federal police and a military, so why would we need another kind of police force? Could this police force be made up of ACORN and SEIU types? And, unlike other police and military, might they perhaps NOT be asked to uphold and defend the Constitution? I agree with Mr. Bright that obama is egotistical and I truly believe he is a Chavez/Castro wannabe with unbridled ambition.
judith: i don’t discount a repeat on some level of the 60s protests…but I cannot believe he would succeed even if he tried to impose marshall law of some sort…
“When we realize that…” are the operative words, VietVet. It saddens me every day that so many do NOT realize that. Does it always take a tragic event to bring us together? I cannot remember a time when we have been so divided, and I think it all has to do with obama. He and his appointees and czars have engaged in a systematic destruction of all that has been achieved in race relations in the last 50 years.
judith: he has been the great divider…
I live in a suburb of Kansas City Missouri and I am all too familiar with Emanuel Cleaver,
who is now head of the black caucus. Arm in arm with Obama, he has not only been mute
when leadership is wanting but their silence is a tacit nod of approval. I commented several
weeks ago concerning Sheila Jackson Lee and her kind and it appears the same condemnation
applies here. I do not care if Rep. Carson is muslim……he is despicable under any religious
banner…..however, being of the muslim faith is troubling in several ways. If we cower and refuse
to confront those who defame and inflame because of their faith then we are relegated to a rung
below them….if those of muslim faith know that they can sling arrows with no consequences and
are shielded out of fear..then this vile vitriol will continue..If Emanuel Cleaver cannot or will not
reign in his members then those members who abhor this manic behavior should resign in
protest…unfortunately that will prove to be a very small number. What a pathetic representation
of black elected officials and their leaderless Democrat party ….this is the shameful result.
annette: forget about the color,..carson is a poor representation of humanity…don’t get caught up on color…they are using that as a trap to distract and divert attention from where it belongs…
I wouls like to know why Representative Carson is not sitting in front of the ethics committee right now. If thhis ins’t a case of shouting “fire” in a movie theater I don’t know what is? 150 years ago this year, men and women, white and black Americans stepped forward to abolish slavery. Carson might want to remember this.
chrismiller: ethics committee would be to good…he should be forced to resign his seat…and subjected to the harshest condemnation…
Of course, any action such as you both describe, would only be met by howling invectives of racism by the media, the president, and the CBC. And what is the one word that turns Republicans into spineless, controllable wimps? You got it…racist!
kelso: name calling is nothing more than that…
But name calling has been very effective for the left. They play with a deck that contains only one card and they play it constantly. Then the liberal media use it to beat up the rest of us. I agree totally with you that we must stop talking in terms of color, but good luck convincing the MSM of that. If they weren’t constantly calling people racists, you’d think you had accidentally hit the Mute Button on your TV.
judith: we can win that argument by not engaging in it…
WELL, I THINK THE VAST MAJORITY OF US KNOW SOMEONE WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE HANGING ON A TREE IF THE TRUTH BE KNOWN. I’M WHITE AND I KNOW MORE WHITES I’D LIKE TO SEE HANGING ON A TREE THAN ALL THE OTHER RACES COMBINED. BUT, THE POSTERS ABOVE ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. EXPOSING THOSE WHO WOULD USE INFLAMMATORY REMARKS IN ORDER TO SECURE A FINANCIAL STANDING AND STATUS AMONG THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW BETTER SHOULD BE EXPOSED FOR WHO THEY ARE. THEY VICTIMIZE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING IN THE SHADOWS OF SOCIETY. I HOPE THIS GUY DOES NOT CONSIDER HIMSELF A MEMBER OF THIS CHRISTIAN NATION AS HIS VICTIMIZATION OF PEOPLE FLIES IN THE FACE OF PROMOTING GOOD IN THIS WORLD. HE IS FOMENTING HATRED, DESPAIR AND VIOLENCE. TOO BAD HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THAT. MUST NOT HAVE A CONSCIENCE.
tthan43: he is a shameful disgrace…and everyone who applauded him and/or agrees w/ him should be ashamed…the congressional black congress have lost what little standing they had…their not demanding he step down is unconscionable…just imagine if a white person said that about blacks…
Didn’t Col. Allen West leave the CBC over Mr. Carson’s comments? Did the CBC offer any regrets over Col. West’s departure? I don’t think so.
kelso: al didn’t leave cbc…
Allen West is one new member of Congress who sees right from wrong with no blurring of the lines in between. I think he will not tolerate much more from the CBC if members keep talking like Carson. I support West, even his condemnation of Wasserman-Schultz. She was vile and despicable long before West was elected. As head of the DNC it was her responsibility to speak out against Carson’s remarks. But I knew she wouldn’t.
judith: frau wasserman shultz is angry woman w/ chip on her shoulder…i’m being nice tonight…
I can only guess that Carson is trying to position himself as the next self appointed spokesman for Black America….and like Sharpton, Jackson, Wright, etc., he will remain in power drawing his paycheck from the American taxpayer all the while poking us in the eye with a sharp stick. Because like Maxine Waters his base is I understand, a gerrymandered section of FLA. which contains in large part, poor un-educated Blacks……and as long as they think he’s looking out for them…he has job security for himself….and someday…like Sharpton or Jackson, will draw an even bigger paycheck, wear custom suits, have his own nationally syndicated talk show on radio and TV….and we will have nothing but news coverage video of the end results of his hate inspired civil disobedience. America needs people like you, like Alan West, Herman Cain and the many others who see through these fear and hate mongers….he is no better than the street corner drug dealer, pedaling his poison to the poor, promising them Nirvana, except we’re paying the tab, and what’s worse………..he is protected by the US Constitution !!!
boomerr25: he is a muslim…i have serious problems w/ his diatribe by itself…but coupled w/ his being a muslim raises real concern for me…
That’s what I’m talking about, expose these race peddlers, bring them into the light. They’ve been doing this kind of hate speaking in the dark for so long, they have forgotten today everyone can hear them. No more backroom hate speech.
Very good, Very good. Mychal.
dave: that’s exactly what we must do…expose them and challenge them on the validity of their remarks…that’s what I did to sharpton, morial, and fauntroy…they all ran for cover…sharpton rant to hannity rather than face me…they can’t take confrontation that forces them to support/validate their claims…
God Bless you Mychal-Massie. The truth never has to run for cover. EVER. When I discuss the issues with people of this ilk, I usually do not speak, and i give them the floor and tell them to explain in detail why they have taken their position in a particular issue. Every single time they fumble over their words, speak in platitudes and then, in frustration, say something like “its just wrong what is happening”. Its an emotional based thought system that cannot, by definition, deal with truth or facts because those are the torpedos that sink their battleships.
Bubbarucker: I have had similar experiences myself…you can expect those of said mindset to either stumble over words or regurgitate flawed erroneous arguments as fact…
