TX GOP Convention Button: "If Obama is Elected President, Will We Still Call it the White House?"

No we will have to rename it to the black house, or the house of ribs.And all the lawn jockeys will have to be white.

They are just getting started and this is tame, the wife is getting it now, next his children will be the target of thier demented hatred.

Public figures r fair game. Bush is commonly portrayed as the "big-earred doofus monkey" to reiterate his simple mind. I doubt that Barack phased. This should hardly be a surprise.

Go flush your "hatred" comment. Has nothing to do with hatred. Right is right! First of all, we DAMN sure cant have a muslim in the highest office of this land. Dont give me that he's not muslim crap. He claims to be a Christian and profess faith in Jesus. Excuse me, but you cant be pro abortion or even pro choice and be a Christian! Whatya got here folks is your basic hypocrit, see? Heres what the motto should be for this campaign, "Lets keep the White House WHITE". After all, white IS right. What, you want to see obama's first Christmas dinner in office to be pigs feet and chitlins? Pass them there greens and black eyed peas...

peckerwood pete hi you are special. you are hiding behind fears of the past and making food coments.it is i shame that is all you have left.it is going to happen and it wont be becuase the next president is african american or anglo america or a woman,it will happen because most americans anglo or african or woman or whatever has left you and the people who think like you far behind and sad.we are not going to debate you,you are not that important, and just stand aside and vote for the loser,and watch this country change before your eyes.then talk,by the way what if god is black?se you in hell.

Youre right jbrown. Watch this country change. Right into the crapper. What if God is black? First of all, jbrown; CAPITAL G where my God is concerned. All other gods are small, insignificant as are your idle comments. God isnt white, black, yellow, brown, or even religious. God just IS. He is Spirit. Not some earthly color or "ethnic" being. As far as my racial comments, I got your goat didnt I? I could care less if obama is black or yellow with purple spots. He's nothing but trouble for the country and our freedom!

I cant believe peckerwoods comments. What did he say about pigs feet and chitterlings? How rude can you be, not to mention tasteless. Everyone knows the inaugural dinner will be fried chicken and watermelon. But do remember to wear your best turbin in honor of the special guests from iran.

This thing about the button is ridiculous. If old obama cannot take some flack; then he is a dangerous candidate who wishes to rule instead of lead our nation. Other political candidates take a lot of tasteless jokes and still remain cool. And I think it's not hatred that is expressed here, but anger at the audacity of this black candidate representing himself as a Christian and still having strong links to the Muslim faith. Not to mention trying to come off as another Martin Luther King and black version of John F. Kennedy combined. The real truth of all this is that the Democrats are now in power and don't want anything to rock their boat ; so they definately desire to see Obama as our next president . Then they will function a one unit and run this young black candidate as you would a robut. And then we would definately need God's mercy.. Oh;;;; about the watermelon and the chitlins? It would be pita bread and cooose goose for sure , at those dinners... Hah Hah....

Of course the "White House" will still be called the "White House"! If it were to be changed, because of an Obama election, it might the "Mulatto House".

Hello, The comments that I read are awful . We are Americans and we all need to pray that God put the right person in the white HOUSE. Remember this , no race is superior than the other.

Obama, - Osama To close for this red neck from Oklahoma. Has he ever picked cotton?

Toby be a Good Mulatto BOSS!

I would not get too bent out of shape, this is what people do when they panic. The movement is too powerful example...I never give money to political any thing but I have given hundreds I can feel it in my spirt. When Obama is elected they will really be upset.

Of course the "White House" will still be called the "White House"! If it were to be changed, because of an Obama election, it might be the "Mulatto House". Maybe if McCain is elected it will be the "Old Folks Home"! Neither one of them is worth a damn. Wealth redistribution, a national health care system and illegal immigrant rights have no place in a free, democratic country like the U.S.A. I don't believe that is what the writers of the Constitution would have wanted this great country to turn into after 200+ years.

Here is a moral dilemma.

I most often refer to George Bush as an illiterate idiot. Few could effectively argue Bush is not an illiterate idiot.

Sometimes I refer to George Bush as a "chimpanzee in the Oval Office." Bush is about as smart as a chimpanzee, kinda looks like a chimpanzee, certainly acts like a chimpanzee.

Should Obama win the big chair in the Oval Office and I decide he is screwing up then refer to Obama as a "chimpanzee in the Oval Office," is mine then a racial slur?

Yes, Purl Gurl, it would be racist. Remember, your ancestors and mine (Black) were called monkeys by the individuals who invaded North America and used trickery to "buy" the land away from Native Americans. Why would you think different given your ancestors history? Even if you don't mean it in the same manner it's racist. If you call a straight guy a "faggot" ( i hate that word), the insult is still there, right? Isn't it still demeaning? I'm just trying to understand your reasoning. Please explain.

Brian B references my "chimpanzee" comments and asks, "Please explain."

Sure. Jack Abramoff referred to my Choctaw peoples as "monkeys" and as "troglodytes" with both terms being intended insults and, most likely, intended racial slurs. This did not cause an uproar amongst our peoples, we did not protest nor take to the streets rather we quietly and powerfully pursued legitimate issues then made arrangements for Abramoff to spend a good number of years in federal prison.

Ours is an example of shrugging off insults as meaningless and ours is an example of pursuit of redress through our system of justice.

I can refer to Bush, a white man, as a chimpanzee without complaint from the public. I cannot refer to Obama as a chimpanzee without risk of complaint from the public. This is a double standard, this is hypocrisy.

Yes, there are historical factors involved such as common racial slurs used for centuries; we recognize some terminology as racist based. However, because of our fear of being labeled racist, we cannot use some expressions even when not used in a racial context.

An example, Obama becomes president then takes to engaging in typical political monkey business. Obama monkeys around, tosses a monkey wrench into our way of life, and I decide to refer to him as that "monkey in the White House" my comment will be construed as a racial slur rather than a fair comment about Obama's behavior; monkey business.

Because of this fear, Americans are afraid to express many of their feelings when a person of a minority group is involved. This is intimidation and does suppress Freedom of Speech.

What I see happening this election year and in the past, is an extreme fear by our peoples and by our media to critique those of minority groups; a fear of being labeled racist. This prevents truthful critiques from being spoken or from being written. This denies truth being shared with our peoples.

There is an interesting artistic spin-off as well.

The "Planet of the Apes" movie series could be construed as racist based. Chimpanzees, light colored, are cast as the intellectuals, as the leaders. Gorillas, dark colored, are cast as ignorant and savage. This is a clear white versus black message in artistic form. No protest, of which I am aware, has been lodged against this movie series. Perhaps this lack of protest is a result of this movie series casting both whites and blacks, all as monkeys. Interesting, though, amongst the human population of these movies, a wide diversity of ethnicity is portrayed.

Point I am making is people are fearful about word usage and about image usage because of political correctness constraints. This is not right, this suppresses free and willing expression.

Clearly cultural mores are involved. My peoples, Choctaw people, ignore insults while focusing on legal issues; we focus on acquiring legitimate power. Contrasting, Black America mostly focuses on insults and mostly ignores legal issues. This does not acquire power. Become enraged over insults leads to a loss of power through ineffective thinking, through emotionalism.

This "sock puppet" thing, this "button" thing, yes, those are race baiting and are intended to inflame emotions to cause Black America to react with extremism. This is an effort to make Black America look like a population of emotional angry out-of-control peoples, and this is working. This causes harm to Black America and causes harm to Obama's chance to be our president; he becomes viewed as another "Angry Black Man" whom few want in office. We fear an extremist person more than we fear being insulting and being labeled a racist.

Within our American Indian tribes, we are careful to ignore insults, being meaningless, and we are careful to not cast all insults as racially motivated. We are careful to focus on those "things" which give us power; American Indians are well respected and recognized for our holding power. Very few are fearful of American Indians. There is no "Angry Indian Man" syndrome attached to my peoples. This is not true of Black America, yes?

Should Obama prove to be another "Bush Chimpanzee," I should be able to refer to Obama as a chimpanzee without fear of racial repercussions. Should I utter Obama is a "chimpanzee in the Oval Office," my peoples will not react with anger rather will ask, "Is Obama's behavior chimpanzee like?" My peoples will not instantly react with anger rather will weigh the truth of my words.

Black America will not react the same, yes? Black America needs to calm down, think, then pursue legitimate power through quiet yet powerful actions rather than react with angry emotional words and angry actions which lends to a bad reputation and lends to a fear of Black America.

Personally, I believe the White House should be renamed the "Nut House."

I think people forget that Homosapiens are just another ANIMAL on the planet. Just because we are able the REASON we think we're better than other animals. Obviously we are the worst animal for the planet. We have done the most destruction and can't get along with our own species, domestic or foreign. There is one thing we have in common with other creatures on Earth; SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST!! This is why we are the most dangerous aminal on the planet and to ourselves. We are our own worst enemy and will probably cause our own extinction. The planet will survive, Mother Nature has done much worse things in the past and still something crawls out of the slime and life starts again, Amen.

You people must be joking! Its no damn wonder the drop out rate for blacks is so high. Homo-sapiens are just another animal? Did you learn that in the ghet-to same time you was taught e-bonics? Any white anglo American child understands that homo-sapiens are "human, not animals. Your kind, in the ghet-to may be animals. Killin, robbin, rapin, welfarin. And survival of the fittest? Is that the major reason for so much murder in the inner-city? You "homies" think kiilin for tennis shoes, a watch, a jersey is all part and parcel to survival of the fittest? I know this cracker is damn glad he aint you.

Many of the comments here show that contrary to popular depiction, Whites are an angry lot,too!!! Yeah, they are goin' into the next century still longing 4 the good ole days. They betta get a grip. Cuz if it ain't us, it will be Latinos! Except ya fate crackas! Cuz the table are gonna turn. You've had a lock on that damn DC Terra for centuries, now we are collec'in' wages owed!

Cracker, your right I should of written that we are "Mamuals". Also, it seems that you think I'm non-white? That leads me to think judgmental. You proved my point, you probably believe you are the "Fittest".

I just found this because I didn't believe it was true. My friend told me about this button and in an attempt to disprove what she had told me, I Googled it. Here it is! Amazing that this is allowed to go on unpunished. This is uncalled for gutter slinging and just plain racist. I am raising my children to embrace people's differences, not hating them for said differences. What the hell is going on in this so called "Age of Enlightenment"? I am truly sickened and ill over finding this to be fact.. thank you for opening my eyes and posting this here. Sincerely and with apologies on behalf of stupid bigoted white people across this Nation of ours, White Girl With an Attitude
