Incoming Nevada Speaker Said Democrats Have ‘Master-Slave’ Relationship With ‘Simple Minded Darkies’

[kpete]

The incoming Republican speaker of the Nevada Assembly wrote about the "master-slave relationship" between Democrats and blacks, while also referencing "simple minded darkies," according to a report published Thursday:

The Democratic coalition would split asunder if the NAACP & co. actually promoted what black Americans truly desire—educational choice. The shrewd and calculating (black) ’leaders’ are willing to sacrifice the children of their own race to gratify their lust for power and position. The relationship of Negroes and Democrats is truly a master-slave relationship, with the benevolent master knowing what’s best for his simple minded darkies. For American blacks, being denied choice and forced to attend the failing and inferior government school system is a form of involuntary servitude. Let’s call it what it truly is—educational slavery.

1. There's a call for you, from the line "Shut the fuck up"

[Rex]

8. Hehe

"Mr. Racist, please pick up the white courtesy phone...you have a call from Shut The Fuck Up."

[Cha]

12. NFTG!

[steve2470]

19. Yep you nailed it ! :) nt

[etherealtruth]

2. WTF?

It is not so much that evil idiots exist (you can't fix stupid), that bothers me ... it is that people actually vote for someone like this!

[stage left]

10. Yeah, Etherealtruth.

Why would you vote for someone like this? I've asked this question a lot lately. And the only answer I can come up with is that the people who vote for this scum are themselves scum. They may not voice it, but the same ideas are swarming in what passes for their brain.

[etherealtruth]

13. Its the only answer .... I just have trouble believing in mass ignorance and hate

.... though I know it exists

[stage left]

20. I don't want to believe in mass ignorance and hate.

But it's hard not to. It's become even harder these past few years.

[Horse with no Name]

48. Because those that support republicans are selfish homophobic closet racists

They let the republicans do the dirty work and ride the tails of the morality wagon so others don't know what nasty people they are.

[muntrv]

3. But..but...we're post-racial! Fox Noose says so!

[SomethingFishy]

16. I actually heard them claim that once and not 60 seconds later

Karl Rove was calling Obama a "basketball playing thug"... They are awful.

[chervilant]

44. No, no: it's Fox SNOOZE,

because you have to be 'asleep' to believe it!

(Most of the Sheeple I know are virulently racist AND watch Fox assiduously.)

[bravenak]

4. Simple minded?

I love projection.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

61. No shit....

What's sad it these guys all pat each other on the back thinking they "get it".

[BeyondGeography]

5. Something's dark, alright

[Odin2005]

6. This attitude is UNIVERSAL on the Right.

Most of them just have the sense not to say it out loud.

[awoke_in_2003]

17. +1000. nt

[Rex]

7. Inferior government schools? Then raise funding for them fuckwad!

What a real piece of shit that guy is, more worthless than a warm pitcher of spit (thank you LBJ for such a wonderful saying).

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

52. From that part

it sounds like he's got a bee in his bonnet over Dems not wanting to funnel taxpayer money to private charter schools.

[kelliekat44]

9. I love the way elites seem to know exactly what ALL blacks think and feel. nt

[noiretextatique]

15. elite? this fucker is a teabag asshole wannabe

a racist, sexist asshole stirring up the other yahoos.

[erpowers]

11. Says the Man Who Refers to African-Americans as Negroes and Darkies

This is another example of what someone says saying more about them than the people they are talking about. It seems this person thinks African-Americans should have a master-slave relationship with white people.

[Orrex]

25. Good call, and...

The relationship of Negroes and Democrats is truly a master-slave relationship, with the benevolent master knowing what’s best for his simple minded darkies.

That's a bit of a rhetorical fuck-up, because he's structured it to suggest that "Negroes" are the masters, but then he clumsily reinverts the relationship.

How will his fellow KKKonservatives react when they learn that he identified "Negros" as the masters of anything?

[noiretextatique]

14. here's his facebook page

[KamaAina]

18. Wait a minute. I'm confused.

Isn't the darkie the master?

[Orrex]

26. That's how I read it.

LOL!

[AverageJoe90]

21. He's a fuckin' ignoramus, there's no doubt about it. ONE BIT.

Hey, the Democratic Party may not be perfect, but we actually DO care about each other, regardless of our fellows' skin color, nationality, etc.....some Republicans? Not so much.....

[AverageJoe90]

22. Here's some more nastiness from this dirtbag, btw:

That wasn't all. He also made observations about Hispanics:

Locally, gangs and their associated criminal activity are obviously dominated by immigrants, especially Hispanic immigrants. You cannot read a story about criminals or watch a news report locally without noticing a grossly disproportionate amount of Hispanic involvement.

And women:

Today, when Army men look at women in the ranks with ’longing in their eyes’ it very well may constitute ’sexual harassment.’ The truth is, women do not belong in the Army or Navy or Marine Corps, except in certain limited fields.

And LGBT people:

Considering only about 2 percent of adult males are homosexuals, the numbers show why homosexuals have been historically regarded as such a threat. Male homosexuals are grossly disproportionate in child molestation cases, and the youth orientation of male homosexuality drives this trend.”

Yet, one fact of homosexuality deliberately downplayed is the grossly disproportionate numbers of child molesters, called ’pederasts,’ which fill their ranks. In fact, they are called, in the homosexual vernacular, ’chicken hawks.’ Many of these pederasts are not the least bit ashamed of their vile behavior and have adopted the militancy now so common with their fellow homosexuals.

[Scuba]

23. Mainstream Republican.

[LeftinOH]

24. He's just towing the party line. Good for him for being so

open about it, that way his constituents know exactly where he stands. Seriously.

[gordianot]

27. What is so sad 10 years ago such a statement would have ended his political career.

Today it is common place Republican rhetoric, white racist like Lester Maddox would be mainstream Republicans in 2014.

[LuckyLib]

35. Yes. It's OK now to say the most vile, racist shit

imaginable, and no one challenges it. The crazies are out in full force.

[merrily]

28. No words. I can't even bring myself to rec for visibility.

At times like this, I wonder why we object to secessionists. Let the soul-killing fuckers go.

[green917]

37. I've been saying it for years

We should have let them go the first time they tried!

[merrily]

38. It's never too late.

[freebrew]

29. What year is it where you live?....nt

[True Blue Door]

30. They just...can't...shut...up. Gotta love 'em for that.

[tclambert]

31. Gonna need another one of those minority outreach seminars for Republicans.

Looks like the previous one wore off. You remember the previous one where only white people showed up, right?

[sinkingfeeling]

32. I don't know when I'll stop be shocked by what comes out of the

mouths of Republicans. If this person is so worried and leads the Nevada Assembly, then why the hell don't they get busy and fix the 'inferior government school system'? Isn't that the responsibility of the state legislature?

[Ruby the Liberal]

33. Looke like Ira the Plumber and his wife

both went to "failing and inferior government school(s)". That terminus of education has served him well. For me but not thee...

http://www.irahansen.com/#!about-ira/cjg9

[Initech]

34. No the republicans have that mentality with their billionaire criminal masters.

[noiretextatique]

36. he is actually describing GOP voters

the ones who aren't millionaires, that is. their slavish devotion to the GOP does little to further their economic interests. LBJ said it best:

[Demeter]

39. As contrasted with pandering to simple-minded whiteys?

(bad Demeter--go stand in the corner!)

[The Wizard]

40. Not all Republicans are bigots

But all bigots are Republican. heir underlying message since 1964 has been (in code): You're a bigot? We're bigots too, and we will do your bidding with Jim Crow laws.

[mb999]

51. Bigotry is a core value of the Republican platform

It's not even underlying anymore. All it took was Obama for the repigs to bring it to the surface. No need to cover it up with BS "compassionate conservatism" anymore. The Republican platform is identical to the platform of the Ku Klux Klan. The Greedy Old Pigs basically stand for imposing White Christian theocratic plutocracy over America. That's what they mean by "Reel 'Merica". The Republicans are stuck in an 1850s southern mindset. How can you be a Republican and not be a bigot with the party's blatant support for racism, homophobia, xenophobia, voter suppression, union busting, serfdom, theocracy.... ?

[heaven05]

58. +1000

[Heather MC]

41. Maybe, us black folks don't like being referred to as "Simple-Minded Darkies" and that's why we

don't vote for republicans

[Dont call me Shirley]

46. The low-mentality republicans haven't figured out that we are all the same race, the human race.

[Heather MC]

50. floating on the same rock in space

+1000

[Quasimodem]

42. I guess Hansan doesn't remember ...

... what Rinse Penis said about the GOP reaching out to minorities.

[blkmusclmachine]

43. KKK???

[Dont call me Shirley]

45. Why are republicans so obsessed with the master-slave relationship?

[Skittles]

49. Obama being president breaks all their rules of order

yes INDEED

[PeteSelman]

47. He's saying that WE think the "darkies" are simple minded.

He's not actually calling black people "simple minded darkies".

While this guy is a complete jackass and has no business in elected office, his words are being misrepresented.

[Volaris]

55. You're correct.

What that ignorant, "I-can-read-the-minds-of-Democratic-Party-Leadership." was ACTUALLY trying to say with his ridiculous screed was:

"I support the destruction and Privatization of America's Public Education System, on the Orders of the people who PAID for me to be here (in Congress) and who will then PROFIT off the aforementioned Destruction."

Yes, there are Republicans who are not Bigots. There are also Republicans who, in fact, RESPECT the intelligence of the People they are supposed to Represent. Since the former is in very short supply, and the latter are all dead, I'm betting that this guy who said said this is NEITHER.

[3catwoman3]

53. When reading vile...

...crap like this, it is hard to believe that the year in 2014. Disgusting and pathetic, as are those who voted for him.

[HoosierCowboy]

54. Sharon Angle

after sex reassignment surgery

[Prophet 451]

56. I just, people actually believe this shit

I don't understand how anyone can be Republican anymore. Years ago, there might have been some actual principles to the party but these days, it's just a collection of prejudices, held together with liberal-hating and talking points.

[heaven05]

57. get ready for TWO more years

and it's going to get a lot worse. Police will feel more emboldened to shoot before shouting hands up, many idiots like this POS will be coming out of the swamp and from the pond as scum. Amerikkka will be showing it's true color soon. I would tell a POS like this, you want me as a slave again, those left will be prying my gun from my cold dead fingers. I'm not amazed at the racist, fascist shift going on in amerikkka. It's been going on since Nixon's 'southern strategy' to start turning back the gains of minorities in civil and voting rights. Nov 4, 2014 is the culmination, so far, of that "strategy".

[mfcorey1]

59. In the famous word of Eric Holder, "Kiss my a**", Mr. Nevada speaker!

[kiva]

60. Aaaaannnd, he's gone.

But not without saying more stupid things.
