Defending Darrah and Amy Against Racist Attacks at the Daily Kos

Folks I am sick to death of the racists at the Daily Kos calling other people racist simply because they oppose President Obama. We PUMAs are well aware of the race card being played by the people at the daily Kos. Darrah Murphy of PUMA Pac is called a racist and has had death threats issued against her simply because she doesn't like President Obama.
Amy Suskind who is not a PUMA just a woman interested in promoting other women even if they are Republicans. I have a lot of respect for Amy for the work that she does. What the idiots at the Daily Kos doesn't understand about Amy is that she is interested in all women not just white middle class women but ALL women. NOW does not even try to understand poor women except to protect their reproductive rights.

This article manages to try to destroy the reputations of two very nice and decent women because they oppose Obama.
Lets discuss this article written by White middlle class people who wouldn't understand the problems that a lot of inner city black people face if their lives depended on it.
The idiots that felt the need to point out that Amy doesn't care about poor minority women doesn't know that I am working with Amy and I am a poor minority woman. This article suggests that Minority women face more racism then men this is not only so completely wrong its offensive that someone who has never been pulled over because of the color of their skin can assume they know what they are talking about.
African American males have always bore the brunt of racism. It is black males who are more likely to be murdered in a racist attack. It is black males who are more likely to be beaten by the police. It is black males who are more likely to be told by teachers that they are "nothing" or that they are "thugs". It is black males who bare the brunt of racism.
A black woman is more then likely going to make more money then her husband and be promoted. A black woman is more likely to get respect from teachers.
I am tired of the Daily Kos and I am sick of the race card.
What I do know is that this particular writer is a racist because he thinks that if you oppose a black man then you are racist. If you oppose a black man BECAUSE he is a black man then you are indeed racist but if you oppose him because you think he is a big sleeze then your not racist. Frankly I despise Barack Obama and I certainly ain't racist against my own people. I am a proud member of PUMA and I am a daily reader of the PUMA Pac Blog funny I never read anything
remotely racist. I think I am a better judge of rather Darrah Murphy is racist or not.
I recently joined the New Adgenda and have gotten to know Amy Suskind again I haven't found anything offensive about the New Agenda in regards to race. Amy is looking out for women all women and this minority woman thinks she is doing a great job.
So who are the racists Bigot Basher the writer of this article is most definately racist. He must have guilty feelings because it is usually the guilty whites who play the race card.
To the black people playing the race card its not you who are going to suffer because of this it is going to be the black people in the hood. STOP IT NOW.

Racism Versus Playing the Race Card

I have been hearing a lot about racism lately and most of what I hear is not racism but disagreement with the first African American President but to Liberals it must be racism. The Liberals have done this very thing to Republicans for years and always drove me nuts. Conservatives don't have black people because they want limited Government. Liberals aren't free of racism because they believe the government should take care of everyone. The fact that Liberals are likely to assume that black people and poor people are the same thing which is frankly racist and personally I don't care what the race is of the people who spout this kind of garbage. I am also watching white people being called racist simply for disagreeing or calling Barack out on his sexism. Guess what Liberals that statement rather you are black or white is very racist. Calling white people racist simply because they are white means you are racist.
Lets now talk about real racism the racism I must encounter in the real world. There are the minor racism like not being able to hail a cab because of my skin color. There is other racism that hurts like police brutality which is more likely to happen to a young black man then any other group in this country. How about the teachers who are responsible for teaching our children regardless of color who tell young black kids especially if they are from the ghetto that they are not going to suceed or like my son's 6th grade teacher who assumed because he was a black male that he would rape her. He was 12 years old at the time.
I desegretated the local school district when I was a Senior in Highschool. It was covered on all the major networks and one of CNN's first major stories. We were barred from the school by angry white faces screaming "nigger" and other racist remarks. They started rocking the bus and damn near tipped us over. The National Guard had to escort us into the school where the Principal decided that we needed to be humiliated further by pointing out that we were late and giving us all detention he knew those whites were trying to kill us but he didn't give a damn.
I have spent my lifetime fighting against racism and to see people especially white Liberals and black politicians playing the race card inappropriately it makes me cringe. Its not going to be those white Liberals or those middle class politicians nor even the black middle class that is going to have to deal with real racism it is going to be the poor people who suffer and then no one will ever hear our cries because these idiots and racists want to play a card that is not race related but Policies related and that will be a real crime.
Racism exists but disagreeing with a black man is just that disagreeing with a black man. I am calling both black and white liberals out of this sort of thing because its wrong its divisive and its racist.
