I am coming to the conclusion that far too many people in the Republican Party simply don’t want black people up in their house.

The latest example of telling black people to back their black asses up is Minnesota State Senate candidate Mike Parry, who had a Twitter message about President Barack Obama that read, “Power Hungry Arrogant Black Man.” All I can say is that is amazing that Republicans will not stand up to racists and race-bating haters like Parry who use race to divide people and do it with not even a drop of shame.

Parry apparently tried to simply erase the message from his Twitter account. But, not the sharpest pencil in the bag, Parry failed go realize that when it is out there it is subject to someone screen-grabbing it and showcasing it for all to see.


Sadly, there are a lot of people who will vote for this guy.

From Huffington Post:

Confronted by reporters, Parry owned up to the Obama post and tried to explain himself — but he didn’t admit to writing, “what’s with Dems and Pedophiles?” after the passing of the Matthew Shepard Act.

“My opinion is that our president is arrogant and angry. The fact is that he is a black man,” Parry said. “Now if the Democratic Party and the liberals want to take my opinion and the fact and mix it together and use it to bring a bad light about me and keep them away from discussing the real issues they can do that all they want. They’re grasping for straws.”

Parry is telling Obama to shut his uppity black ass up.

It’s amazing how some people just let their own racism slide off of them without even so much as blinking while blaming the victims and those who call him out for his racism.

Candidate Parry was reminding people that there is an uppity black man in the White House.

A vote for Parry is pretty much a vote for racism.

Yeah, I wrote it.

It seems that conservative pundits are becoming increasingly upset with President Obama and perhaps seeing him as a little too uppity. That comes across as strikingly apparent as you listen to the words of former George W. Bush strategist Karl Rove, who has found a nice home for himself nad his far-right perspectives at Fox News (imagine that). Here is an excerpt from Rove who goes to the “arrogant” charge against President Obama. And, as has been pointed out here and by other people, “arrogant” is code for uppity.

Check out this from Fox News:

Fox News contributor Karl Rove, who was the top political strategist to former President George W. Bush, said: “This is an administration that’s getting very arrogant and slippery in its dealings with people. And if you dare to oppose them, they’re going to come hard at you and they’re going to cut your legs off.”

“This is a White House engaging in its own version of the media enemies list. And it’s unhelpful for the country and undignified for the president of the United States to so do,” Rove added. “That is over- the-top language. We heard that before from Richard Nixon.”

Rove, who was silent when many who protested the war were labeled anti-American and not supporting the troops, is basically telling President Obama to know his place.

Next he will be calling him “boy” or worse.
