“Secretary” is a demeaning, sexist term, implying subservience to an Executive.

“State” implies State’s Rights, segregation and Jim Crow.

Ergo, anyone who wants to see Rice as Secretary of State obviously hates black women.

So in order to not offend minorities we should never vote for them so they won’t be placed in positions where others might criticize them.

Seriously.

If these hypersensitive, whiny children can’t stand the heat, they shouldn’t be allowed into the kitchen in the first place (I’m sure I’m racist somehow for suggesting something so “mean”, “intolerant”, and “offensive”!)

Well, those dog-whistles must not have reached me, since I didn’t even know that Rice was black until people started accusing her critics of racism. (I get almost all of my news in text and audio forms, in case you’re wondering how I might have missed it. I’d read and heard a lot about her news show performances prior to that, but I hadn’t seen the video of them….)

So they’re saying the word “incompetent” means “black”? Wow, what racists they are.

“during this recent campaign we heard Sen. Sununu calling our president lazy, incompetent, these kinds of terms that those of us, especially those of us who were grown and raised in the South, we would hear these little words and phrases all of our lives and we’d get insulted by them.”

It really says a lot that he thinks the word “lazy” refers specifically to black people.
