Here’s some video from Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. This is from the conference that President Obama addressed the other day. They’re as racially divisive as ever. And yet they have the balls to call the Tea Party racist. What a freaking joke.

According to Sharpton’s cronies, construction sites should no longer be allowed to operate if no black people are working at them.

I actually blame black leaders for this more than I do left-wingers in general. Being accused of racism by the left is nothing new, but this is much more serious. The two men in this video are literally apoplectic over their belief that a bunch of racist white people are setting up shop in their neighborhood.

Are we talking a Klan rally here? No, it was just a meeting with Americans For Prosperity. The first guy is shrieking about racists and bigots. He calls a black woman standing with the AFP folks a “house nigger” and a “sell out.” He says the group hates blacks, Jews, and everybody. I have no doubt he really believes that. It’s clear that he sincerely believes conservatives are racist bigots who hate him because of his skin color.

My question is who told him that? I suspect it’s racist black preachers who hate “white devils” telling him that. What urban blacks don’t realize is that it’s the Democratic Party that’s been holding them back all these years. Democrats have controlled the ghettos in this country for decades. Are they any better? No, they’re worse. Democrats have their boots on the neck of poor minorities and always have.

Without poor, illiterate, minority voters to prey upon the Democrats would have no base. Democrats have a vested interest in keeping the racial politics going and the perpetual victimhood alive.

Conservatives don’t give a damn about skin color, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. We want all Americans to have an equal opportunity at success. Unlike our first black president, we don’t want to keep poor black kids in failing schools. They should have access to the same education as the president’s kids.

Wow. This is really stunning. The race card can pretty much be played about anything now days it seems. LeBron James is now saying race was a definitely a factor in the fan backlash against him.

He wasn’t specific about how exactly race was a factor, but just that it was. I don’t even know what to say about that. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so idiotic.

Considering that about 99% of all NBA superstars are black makes his claim all the more bizarre. So Cleveland fans and the media have a secret resentment towards black athletes? Black athletes are synonymous with the NBA. Without black players there would be no NBA. All the best players are black. In fact, most of the best players in every sport with the exception of hockey are black. It would be pretty hard to be a sports fan in America if you hate black people.

America’s best poverty pimp and race hustler “Rev.” Jesse Jackson was the asshole who made this issue about race to begin with. It sounds like James is just piggybacking off his absurd claims.

Jackson said the Cleveland Cavaliers coach was acting like LeBron’s “slave master” for being mad at him for leaving Cleveland.

“His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality,” Jackson said in a statement released Sunday. “(Gilbert) sees LeBron as a runaway slave.”

That statement alone is so outrageous that only in America could anyone take a clown like Jackson serious. But the funniest part of this has to do with James’s Q Scores which measure popularity.

…his positive Q rating among African Americans dropped from 52 percent in January to 39 percent in September. His negative Q rating increased from 14 percent to 15 percent. Some believe race plays a role in these ratings.

So he’s less popular with black people now because due to his leaving Cleveland they discovered he too was black? It’s just too absurd for words.

I can tell you this much. I think LeBron James is a real scumbag now. I think he’s a disgrace both personally and professionally. He’s arrogant, cynical, and stupid.

Here’s the full speech Shirley Sherrod gave to the NAACP. There’s some pretty controversial stuff in there. I’m not sure she should have been fired, but make no mistake — she’s definitely a Marxist and some might say a racist as well.

Jonah Goldberg has a fantastic piece up at NRO about the left’s phony race baiting over health care and everything in between. For a less cool-headed take on the subject you can read what I wrote after Maxine Waters said tea party protesters should be investigated for racist views.

I had high hopes that president Obama would usher in a new ear of post racial harmony and then California had to go and mess it up with this:

In a move that will likely get California’s consumers in a huff, impending legislation may soon restrict the paint color options for Golden State residents looking for their next new vehicle. The specific colors that are currently on the chopping block are all dark hues, with the worst offender seemingly the most innocuous color you could think of: Black. What could California possibly have against these colors, you ask? Apparently, the California Air Resources Board figures that the climate control systems of dark colored cars need to work harder than their lighter siblings – especially after sitting in the sun for a few hours. Anyone living in a hot, sunny climate will tell you that this assumption is accurate, of course. In fact, legislation already exists for buildings that has proven successful at reducing the energy consumption of skyscrapers.

I think any fair minded person can see the obvious stealth racism here. All this talk of “cars” is really code word for people. California wants to ban black people. To suggest somehow that “lighter siblings” AKA light skinned people are somehow superior is an outrage! This is the worst case of racism I’ve seen since the monkey cartoon.

Where in the hell is Al Sharpton on this?
