Geraldo on Barbara Walters: “Once you go black, you don’t go back”
posted at 2:40 pm on May 2, 2008 by Allahpundit
I ignored the first 10 e-mails about it but they keep flooding in, so fine. Here you go; no mas, please. Another Friday Fox & Friends, another awkward, show-stopping one-liner from our least favorite open-borders shill. I’m told I should be offended but isn’t the real problem with it that it’s pitifully cliche? This joke was played out circa 1973; it’s as fresh and funny as the “I like my coffee like I like my men” gag. Besides, for a guy given to fantasizing about spitting on his ideological opponents, it’s mercifully tame. Maybe he’s maturing.

Racist sterotyping…
Not offended, just disgusted.

I’d say lock Geraldo in Willowbrook, except that they turned it into a community college 20 years ago.
As for Barbara, when you look at the other options for Massachusetts senators over the past 40 years, Sen. Brooke looks like the only tolerable option (though I did enjoy Sen. Tsongas’ “panda bear” line about Bill Clinton).

Hot and black.
txsurveyor on May 2, 2008 at 2:50 PM
Next time don’t give in, I didn’t click…don’t post.
No matter what he says, he isn’t worth it, besides I hate cleaning the spit off my screen when his face pops up.
right2bright on May 2, 2008 at 2:50 PM
This racist scumbag should really learn to STFU! Why on earth is Fox still employing this idiot?
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on May 2, 2008 at 2:52 PM
Feh, we were giving lame 21st century updates. There’s a real new version but I don’t think I should post it here.
James on May 2, 2008 at 2:53 PM
None of you get it. It’s mocha latte, y’all. That’s a bit more appropriate description.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on May 2, 2008 at 2:53 PM
I didn’t know that phrase migrated all the way to NY. Or maybe it migrated from NY to Texas. When I was a kid, my dad used to tell me he liked his women like he liked his coffee, hot and black.
txsurveyor on May 2, 2008 at 2:55 PM
Hot and cafeinated?
Romeo13 on May 2, 2008 at 2:56 PM
Aw, come on. I need to know the new version so I can quit using the antiquated version.
txsurveyor on May 2, 2008 at 2:57 PM
I still don’t get it, maybe because I like women?

What ever happened to shame? Why must Baba use polite society as a personal confessional and why must we act like having an affair with a married man is exceptable coffee table conversation?
Kahuna on May 2, 2008 at 2:59 PM
Mindlessly tacky & pathetic, but not racist.
LimeyGeek on May 2, 2008 at 3:00 PM
The Arnold Schwarzenegger one was better. The deafening, horrified silence was priceless. If only we could train everyone to respond to his gaffes that way.
Tanya on May 2, 2008 at 3:02 PM
the “Ground up and in the freezer” bit has been a staple sense I worked in a coffee house for so long.
liquidflorian on May 2, 2008 at 3:02 PM
Dang!!
That Senator Brooke! LOL
Geraldo is such a schmuck, but I love the way he exposes himself, time and time again. We need to see him rant about immigration again, he dependably puts on a show that galvanizes opposition to amnesty. Viva Geraldo.
Theworldisnotenough on May 2, 2008 at 3:06 PM
Actually, I like my women like I like my coffee…stuffed into a burlap sack and thrown across the back of a mule pulled by Juan Valdez.

Theworldisnotenough on May 2, 2008 at 3:07 PM
This just in: Geraldo is still a loser.

Lol. Best one yet.

I was going to 2nd that LOL but txsurveyor already did, so I’ll have the take a triple shot of that LOL!
kirkill on May 2, 2008 at 3:12 PM
Somehow, when a man posts this, it just doesn’t sound right.
right2bright on May 2, 2008 at 3:21 PM
Is Geraldo admitting that he just can’t measure up? But seriously does Geraldo have Roger’s FBI file? Thats the only reason I can think of that he has not been fired.

There’s not a joke in here somewhere about Hillary’s problems with coffee machines. Nope, don’t anyone go there…

Cold and bitter.

One could be forgiven for thinking that Obama’s only real achievement was that he was born black – it certainly seems to be all the left is touting about him.

Hey, can somebody track down the October, 1990 edition of Spin magazine? Just to further the conversation on race and all:
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE7DC163CF931A35754C0A966958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all
I used to subscribe to Spin back in the day, and I think that issue was my introduction to the crap that is still being peddled by Wright and ingested by the Obamas.

Should have ignored the emails….I’m just saying.
d1carter on May 2, 2008 at 3:50 PM
My dad said (still says, on occasion) the same thing. He said it to an elderly black guy he knew, who responded, “Why do you think I take mine white and bitter?”
That said, doesn’t Geraldo look like the bad guy from Dudley Do-Right?
emailnuevo on May 2, 2008 at 3:55 PM
I had meant to slip in there: my dad’s phrase is, “I like my coffee like I like my women – strong and black.” Which, as a son, is a little more palatable.
emailnuevo on May 2, 2008 at 3:58 PM
Now don’t be too hard on Geraldo. He actually serves a useful purpose: he gives hope to all the other ugly, ignorant, talentless people that yes, maybe like Geraldo, they too can one day have a well-paying job for which they have absolutely no qualifications.
AZCoyote on May 2, 2008 at 4:04 PM
gotta agree you should have ignored the emails.

Years ago when I was a rookie, I had a white police captain tell me that one night when I was going to get coffee for the desk crew. (I am a black female) Of course, being a rookie who could be fired for even looking at someone the wrong way, I didn’t say anything. Just pretended not to hear him. If I saw him now and he were to say something like that, I’d probably respond “How about scalding and in your lap?” like the grandmother who sued McD’s years ago.

Judy Tenuta trumped the coffee joke.
“I like my men like I like my subways….”

macblanegirl on May 2, 2008 at 4:26 PM
It’s a toss up who is more repellent – Geraldo for his idiotic joke, or Barbara Walters the gossipy blabbermouth. Clearly former Sen. Brooke wins on propriety:

Mise en temp, as so was her affair
Entelechy on May 2, 2008 at 4:30 PM
Buy Danish, just a bit more proof that men, in general, are books, and women are libraries.
Entelechy on May 2, 2008 at 4:33 PM
ROFL!
flipflop on May 2, 2008 at 4:34 PM
Instead of people being stunned by Jerry Rivers, they ought to just start spitting on him.
adamsmith on May 2, 2008 at 4:35 PM
What an utterly tasteless and disgusting thing for Geraldo to say. Edward Brooke deserves more respect for his dignity and individual integrity than ignorant cracks like this.
petefrt on May 2, 2008 at 4:38 PM
Now that I’ve got you all clutching your pearls…
Seriously, what’s so distasteful about Walters is that she seems to be bragging about this. I mean, did she at least say that she was sorry for hurting Mrs. Brooke?
baldilocks on May 2, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Oh and I don’t expect even tiny amounts of class from Rivera.
baldilocks on May 2, 2008 at 4:44 PM
:-)
macblanegirl on May 2, 2008 at 5:00 PM
Exactly.

1973? Heck, my mom pulled that line on my when I was about 6. :)
Bob's Kid on May 2, 2008 at 5:03 PM
She thinks she’s proving to be culturally diverse, or culturally ‘blind’, or PC, or multi-culti, or a worldly diva…or just an open and progressive liberal (as compard to us rubes).
She’s turning into a complete fool at her old age. I’ve often written on View threads that she’s ruining her reputation at this age, or we’ve had a “misoverestimated” opinion of her, as Mr. Bush 43 would say. There are hundreds of reasons, besides this one, to conclude that.
Entelechy on May 2, 2008 at 5:06 PM
That’s was my reaction too – and don’t forget the really brave thing was that she dated a Republican!

alycan1 on May 2, 2008 at 7:48 PM
They come available in various blends
They arrive with a real nice can
with easy opening tops
and sometimes to get all the good stuff
you have to gently slap it on the bottom a few times.
CommentGuy on May 2, 2008 at 8:09 PM
If someone said that to my wife I’d knock his f—-n’ teeth out. Geraldo should know, he probably knows what it tastes like.
LtE126 on May 2, 2008 at 8:14 PM
Snidley Whiplash is pissed at the insult.
If a bitter white guy had said that………….
BacaDog on May 2, 2008 at 9:18 PM
Jheeze…..This creep is just disgusting…I can’t understand Fox’s willingness to keep his face on my T V screen when I’ve made it crystal clear how repulsive he is.. I want to see his face printed on T-shirts in that black outline style made so popular by Che Guevara….A position attained only by “martyrdom”.
b4lucy on May 2, 2008 at 9:44 PM
Geraldo is half Puerto Rican and half Jewish.
Where’s Don Rickles when you really need him?

An 18-year-old illegal immigrant has been arrested in connection with the rape of an 11-year-old girl, Maricopa County sheriff’s deputies said.
Enrique Jacobo-Valdez was booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail on two counts of sexual conduct with a minor.
Jacobo-Valdez, who is known to the young girl’s family, is currently unemployed and had a warrant out for his arrest from Pinal County for possession of dangerous drugs, deputies said.
The sheriff’s office said it dispatched deputies after receiving a phone call Thursday from the victim’s grandmother indicating that she found the 11-year-old locked inside a bedroom.
The man was running from the home when the girl finally opened the door, sheriff’s investigators said.
The grandmother and mother of the victim took the girl to a local hospital where it was determined that she is at least six weeks pregnant and may have been impregnated by the rape, deputies said.
Jacobo-Valdez returned to the girls’ home where he was arrested by deputies for the Pinal County felony warrant, according to MCSO.
During an interrogation, he admitted raping the 11-year-old, sheriff’s deputies said.
