Washed-up race warlord and pimp Jesse Jackson managed to turn the healthcare debate into a matter of race. Here's how it happened. There is one member of the Congressional Black Caucus that voted against the House healthcare bill, and that was Alabama Democrat Rep. Arthur Davis.

While not referring to his specifically by name, at a reception the other night Jesse Jackson commented, "We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill ... You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man."

Hey, Jessie! Wassamatta U? Run out of corporations to blackmale, you race pimp? Well .. here's an idea! Why don't you run for President! Yeah .. put yourself up there with someone like Obama. At least Obama has class.

God help us.

You are going to love this. It's always fun when someone cries "racism" nowadays, because the word has been so incredibly watered down. It means absolutely nothing. It is a joke. And in this case, it is a labor union crying "racism!" Even more fun.

Here's the scenario. The Chamber of Commerce released an ad attacking Obamacare, explaining why it will be bad for America. The ad, which you can watch here, shows a boss who is distraught about having to fire an employee. As the boss calls the employee into his office, the camera pans to a shot of a black worker watching as his co-worker is called in to be fired.

Racist!

Yep. The AFL-CIO believes that this ad had racial overtones because it stereotypes the idea that minorities have an advantage in the workplace because of affirmative-action policies. A spokesman for the AFL-CIO says, "This is the same old right wing dog whistle politics ... They're trying to use race and class to scare working people about a health care bill."

You know, of course, that there is no way to win with this advertisement. Let's consider the possibilities:

1. Boss fires white guy as other white employees look on. AFL-CIO then issues press release saying that this commercial promotes the idea of a whites-only workplace and is, therefore, RACIST!
2. Boss fires black guy with white co-workers looking on. AFL-CIO then issues press release saying that this commercial promotes the idea that black workers are the least worthy and, therefore, the ones that should be fired first and is, therefore, RACIST!
3. Boss fires black guy while black co-workers look on. AFL-CIO then issues a press release saying that this commercial promotes the idea that black workers have poor personal health habits which will create a huge strain for employers leading to firings over ObamaCare and is, therefore RACIST!

The "R" word has become a joke. Since it's a joke it should be made fun of, derided and played with. People who scream "racism" with a straight face should be looked upon as demented. Also, the medical community should designate a special type of Tourette's Syndrome; one that identifies afflicted people who yell "racist" every third breath.

It's come down to a runoff between Kasim Reed and Mary Norwood. Reed is black. Norwood is white. So ... we have a racially-charged runoff coming up. I'm guessing Reed will be the next Atlanta Mayor. Why? Because votes will be cast on racial lines, and there are more black than white voters in Atlanta. Mary Norwood has made some statements recently indicating how horrible she thinks Republicans are ... so I can't see Republicans making any real effort to vote in the runoff. In my view the big difference between the two is that Reed voted for the recent massive property tax increase and Norwood voted against it.

Let's also make this point. Blacks who vote for the black candidate on the basis of race are conscientious voters. Whites who vote for the white candidate on the basis of race are --- racists.

Where did we get this? Well, from MSNBC, of course. MSNBC anchor Carlos Watson had this little gem for listeners last Monday:

"..you start to wonder whether in fact the word socialist is becoming a code word, whether or not socialist is becoming the new N-word for frankly for some angry upset birthers and others."

No surprise there. After all, haven't we learned that any criticism leveled at The Community Organizer has to be based on nothing but the fact that he's a black man in the White House. It's ALL racist; not just using the "socialist" word, but ALL criticism. Get used to it. It's really pretty simple ... if you don't believe that government is what makes America great .. you're a racist. Now you know.

In case it's still not clear to you; in case you're still wondering if you might be a racist or not ... I found some help for you. Just follow this flow chart!

You'll see that the chart came from "Missourah.com" You ought to check out the website. It's pretty good! Now bookmarked for use in my show preparation.

Barack Obama came out with this line earlier this week for his political opponents. He says that "just because I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm not tough."

But let me jog your memory for a moment. Remember during the election, we discovered all of these things that made you a racist when talking about Barack Obama? And if you'll recall, there was a columnist who actually proposed that referring to Obama's skinniness was racist. Timothy Noah's "When 'Skinny' Means 'Black.'"

Now I ask the question in this context, is Barack Obama racist?

I'm serious. You'd better be careful out there - we have a bunch of racists running around. Why do I say that? Because new polling from CNN/Opinion Research Corporation shows that 51% of Americans disagree with Obama on the issues that matter most to them. Now we know that The Community Organizer is so wise, so pure, so all-knowing; and he cares so much for each and every one of us ... even us crackers ... that there could be only one reason to oppose anything this wonderful man wants to do, and that is because we're racists! We just can't handle the idea of a black man in the White House - and we were fooled! We only found out he was black after we elected him! That's the only possible reason you could ever disagree with The Community Organizer on the issues that matter most to you. Not because you used your brain and an ounce of common sense to realize that things still aren't looking too good out there.

That comes straight from the Obama administration - equal rights for black voters cannot be achieved without the Democrat Party.

Here's the scenario. Voters in Kinston, North Carolina decided that they wanted to get rid of party affiliations for candidates in local elections ... positions like City Council and Mayor. Then along comes Barack Obama's Justice Department. The imperial federal government swoops in to save a small town from its own sovereign ignorance! The Justice Department overruled the voters, decided that partisan were needed in this town so that black voters can get their candidates elected. In this case, black "candidates of choice" were identified by the Justice Department as Democrats. Apparently the Justice Department believes that white voters will only vote for black candidates if they are Democrats. So you get rid of the party affiliations and all of the sudden this is a violation of black voters' right to elect candidates they want!

Bear in mind that this is the same Justice Department that dropped the case against the Black Panthers who were intimidating voters at a voting precinct in Pennsylvania during the election.

Andrew Klavan's latest video explores the one group in the American melting pot that has consistently underperformed in terms of productivity, intelligence and moral behavior ...

Yesterday we learned that heat in Phoenix, Arizona is racist. Yup. The headline read something like "Heat affects Poor and Minorities the Most." Like somehow we are to believe that heat discriminates based on how much light reflects off your skin or how many wheels you have on your house.

Today's asinine headline comes to us from Arlington, Virginia: "Race a Factor in HOT Lanes." What is an HOT lane? It is a High Occupancy Vehicle lane that you have to pay a toll in order to ride. I guess that means "High Occupancy Toll." Now since you have to pay to drive in these lanes, they are said to benefit wealthy white people and therefore are a symbol of discrimination.

A lawsuit has been filed claiming that these HOT lanes discriminate. Court attorneys argue that HOT lanes, "encourage and enable a financially-able, privileged class of suburban and rural, primarily Caucasian residents from Stafford and Spotsylvania counties operating single occupancy vehicles ("SOV") unimpeded access on toll lanes."

The suit also claims that the actions of the Federal Highway Administration and the Virginia Department of Transportation "constituted civil rights violations as they discriminated against minority and low income communities."

Wait a minute! A civil rights violation? Well, then ... wouldn't that mean that minorities are having their civil rights violated every single time some hideous white person can afford to buy something or use a service that some poor minority can't? Maybe those homes out there in those suburbs are civil rights violations themselves?

This lawsuit should be thrown out and the attorneys who brought it sanctioned. It won't and they won't. More to say on this on the show.

... Other than me, of course.

Here's your link to an article by Jesse Washington. Washington covers race and ethnicity for The Associated Press. Washington says that all of these claims of racism out there are taking a word that once had some power and turning it into nothing more than a spitball. He quotes one John McWhorter, who studies race and language at the Manhattan Institute: "It gets to the point where we don't have a word to use to call people racist who actually are."

Now isn't this just exactly what I've been saying for about ten years here on the show? How many times have I gone over the differences between prejudice, bigotry and racism? Enough to make my listeners scream in agony, that's for sure.

Washington goes to Webster's Dictionary for the current definition: "Someone who believes in the inherent superiority of a particular race or is prejudiced against others."

Now while I'm thrilled that someone has actually spoken up about the overuse of the "R" word, I want to address this "prejudiced against others" thing. As I said, this is the current definition. Go back a few decades and the "or is prejudiced against others" bit is not there. Why? That would be because prejudice against other is ... well ... it's prejudice. The word means "pre-judging." People do that all the time, and it doesn't make one racist.

Now my little example here is sure to cause the more ignorant among my Nuze readers to call me a "racist." Like that really matters any more. OK ... you're standing at an ATM withdrawing a few hundred bucks because there's a shoe sale down the street. While you're waiting for the machine to give you your card back a young black male walks purposely towards you. His pants are bunched up around his ankles, he's wearing a hoodie. One hand is grabbing his crotch and the other is in a pocket. You are immediately concerned for your safety. You have pre-judged this situation and your considered judgment is that this young stud is not coming up to you to compliment your hair. There ... you pre-judged a young black male. Does that make you racist? Well; what if this young black male was wearing a business suit? What if he had a briefcase instead of his crotch in one hand, and an ATM card in the other? You're not alarmed, are you? But wait! I thought you were a racist because you showed prejudice against a young black male? But now here you are confronted by another young black male .. and suddenly you're not a racist any more? The explanation, of course, is the young black male in the hoodie was representative of one culture, the black male in the business suit was representative of another. Your prejudice is based on culture, not skin color. Hardly something to support a charge of racism, is it?

Anyway ... we're making progress here. At least some members of the MSM are starting to look at the overuse of this word and trying to set the record straight.

.... Would you please sit down and shut up you old fool!

Yup. Think about this one for a moment. You're a young black man or woman, you're finishing up your education and hope to have a career in politics. Along comes Barack Obama and you're just elated! The barrier has been broken and a black man is now President of the United States! Your path is clear!

But wait! In the early months of Obama's presidency his inexperience starts to show. He fails on several big fronts: Health care, cap-and-trade and the union card-check bill. He tries to convince the American people that he can provide health care to 30+ million Americans who are now uninsured ... and that he can do it with fewer doctors and nurses while spending less than we're spending right now ... and all this without every denying anyone the health care they may need. The American people don't buy it.

Let's see .. what else. Where do we start? He negotiates an automobile bailout plan that favors unions at the expense of secured investors. He appoints a serial tax cheat to run the Treasury Department. He starts a trade war with China. He tells our European allies that they're on their own when it comes to defense against incoming ballistic missiles .. and on and on and on.

So .. as Obama's incompetence becomes more evident; as his anti-capitalistic philosophy fleshes out before our eyes; and his lies see the light of day ... the criticisms start coming in. How do the liberals respond! Predictably, that's how. Everyone who criticizes the president is simply a racist! They just don't like a black man in the white house!

Now .. just how does this hurt future political aspirants? How does it hurt you? You already understand, don't you? The majority of voters out there are still white ... and unless you're going to be content being a mayor or city councilman in a city or district with a majority black voting base, you're going to need some votes from the white side. You know that many white voters are feeling a little shell shocked right now. Many of them voted for Obama. They thought the time had come when our country was going to move beyond race! Wouldn't that have been wonderful? But in light of recent events they think that they might have made a mistake. They did what they thought was right and certainly politically correct, and suddenly they're racists because they have voiced some disagreements with Obama policies?

So .. what happens when you try to run for office? The voters out there looking at you may have no personal problem with you at all. But there's this lingering fear ... a fear born of the likes of Jimmy Carter, James Clyburn, Maureen Dowd, Howard Dean, Newsweek Magazine, The New York Times and others ... the fear that if these voters ever find it necessary to question or to object to something you do in office, they're going to be branded racists. Who, after all, is going to want to put you in office if your skin color makes you politically bulletproof? So .. they plan to play it safe from now on. Vote for whites. At least when they screw up you can go after them without putting on a white robe and cone hat.

The race baiters aren't doing you any favors. But you knew that, didn't you?

The people of California should be spanked for continuing to re-elect Maxine Waters to the Congress. This woman is truly a reflection of what I like to call the dumb masses. She's a notorious race pimp, so this whole uproar about racism probably sends tingles up her leg. She is just itching to jump into the conversation.

So here's what she had to add to this countries dialogue on race.

Maxine Waters believes that the media should investigate the racial views of conservative activists, like people who attend tea party rallies. She believes that it is not enough for African-Americans ... or as us non politically correct people like to say, "blacks" ... it is not enough for blacks to cry racism against these people. What we really need to do is use the media to expose their racist bias.

Here is how it went in her own words: "I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed ... I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers ... I think it's not enough for African-Americans to say what they think, what they suspect ... I think that if you put the microphones in front of them, if you do the interviews, they'll tell you what they believe, what they think."

By the way, do you think it is fair to lump birthers and tea party protesters in the same category? Because that seems to be the norm for Democrats lately. I would hope there would be a giant difference between people who are fed up with the size of our imperial federal government and the moonbats who believe that Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

When Jimmy Carter isn't busy looking for a new despotic dictator to sleep with he occupies himself with looking for alternate ways to look foolish. Yesterday he did what everyone who knows him expected him to do .. he weighed in on Rep. Joe Wilson's "you lie" outburst during PrezBO's speech to congress last week. And - to the surprise of absolutely nobody - Carter has opined that Wilson's behavior was rooted in racism.

If you don't live in Atlanta you would really have no way of knowing that we view Carter as a highly visible crazy uncle who wanders around muttering to himself most of the time. We're glad you got to share in our pain on this one.

Do you folks remember Cynthia McKinney? Yeah .. the cutest little communist in Congress. Well, I have good news for you. Her seat in Congress is being occupied by someone who is every bit as nutty as she was. Just not as cute. His name is Hank Johnson. Johnson wants to be on the list with Jimmy Carter of people who blame Joe Wilson's comment on racism. Here's is the asinine comment from Rep. Hank Johnson.

Yup .. there you go. Hank Johnson says that people are going to start wearing white hoods if the House of Representatives doesn't rebuke Joe Wilson for his outburst.

Don't you folks fret none about the people who live in Johnson's district. Remember .. Cynthia McKinney. They're used to being represented in Congress by race pimps and fools. They've perfected the practice of going to congressmen in neighboring districts for constituent services while their congressman parades around all day in clown makeup.

And just who didn't see all of this coming? Come on, folks! Having you been paying attention for the past 30 years? In virtually every state and community in this nation liberals have been blaming racism for any failure, miscalculation, controversy or outright act of corruption by black elected officials. There has been a standard operating methodology in place for all of the 40 years I've been doing talk radio:

1. Black citizen elected to office.
2. Black official runs into opposition to policy objectives or has a problem with corruption.
3. Black supporters and liberals blame the problems on race.

One-two-three. This scenario has been played out so many times in modern American history it would have been impossible to keep count. Now a black man has become president. Some fools thought that this would help our country move beyond racial division. Well --- perhaps it would have, if only evil white people had been smart enough not to object to anything this man might propose. But it didn't work out that way, so now the left and the media are finding racists under every bed, behind every utility pole and on every street in America. Newsweek Magazine even ran a totally absurd story about racism in babies ... putting a picture of a white infant on the cover with the title "Is your baby racist?" Read that story and you'll find that the authors think that it would be horrifying if a white child were to ever express pride in being white.

Last year, before the election, some of us predicted that if (or when) Barack Obama became president that this would happen. We said that every time his policies met with opposition the left would start screaming racism. So what happened when we said that this would happen? Well ... you guessed it. We were called racists. You just can't imagine how surprised and shocked we were.

So .. here is what Jimmy Carter, Bill Moyers, Hank Johnson, much of the Washington and New York press corps, Newsweek Magazine and the brilliant thinkers on the American left would have you believe of Americans right now:

• We would be more than willing to welcome cap-and-trade with open arms, even if we paid a thousand dollars or more extra every year for our energy use, if Barack Obama were only white.
• We would be dancing in the streets celebrating the dawning of government control of our health care if only Barack Obama were white.
• It would be just dandy if government bureaucrats rationed health care for our parents, as long as the president is white.
• We would jump at the chance of the government owning ALL of the auto manufacturing companies .. not just General Motors ... if the president just didn't have dark skin.
• We would applaud those ACORN workers giving tax avoidance advice to a pimp and his prostitute if the workers hadn't been black.
• Most Americans - even ones that don't pay income taxes now - would be more than willing to give 70% of everything they earn to the federal government when asked ... so long as they are asked by a white president.
• We would have been thrilled, I tell you ... THRILLED to have all of those Islamic goons being held at Guantanamo be not only released, but sent to be school resource officers at our local government schools, if only a white president put that plan in motion.
• It would be OK if a white president stood back and allowed Iran to build its coveted nukes ... we're only unhappy about that because a black president is doing it.
• Deficits? We don't care about deficits! Make our children and grand children and great grand children pay through the nose for our president's spending habits ... just so long as the president isn't black.
• Government pork? Like we actually care? Look ... you folks in Washington can spend all the money you want - how about more studies of the mating habits of Polish Zlotnika pigs? - just make sure it's not a black president who signs the spending bill into law.
• We wouldn't care if all illegal aliens were counted twice in the next Census ... just so long as the president isn't black.
• Those Black Panther thugs who threatened voters in Philly? The ONLY reason we're upset that they were given a pass is because Barack Obama is black.
• Every single member of the president's cabinet could be a tax cheat as far as we're concerned ... just so long as the president is white.
• Forced unionization? Bring it on! We love card check! We love the idea of union goons threatening and intimidating workers to sign a card saying they want to belong to a union! What we don't like is that a black president is pushing this idea.
• Single-party talks with that Gargoyle that runs North Korea? It's about time we legitimized that little pipsqueak. We're only mildly upset here because the person who is doing that happens to be black.
• More regulation of the finance sector? We could care less! For all we care you can nationalize the banks and decree that only the government can make home loans .. .and you can even apportion those home loans on the basis of race if you want to ... just so long as the president is white!
• Minimum wage? Like we care about that? Raise it to $15 an hour if you want! Just give us our white president back.

Yeah .. the moonbat left really has us figured out, don't they?

Clearly we know of the recent scandals involving ACORN ... unless you have been living under a rock. Or you are Charlie Gibson. But at any rate, it turns out that after all the fuss and calls for ACORN to sue FOX News ... ACORN can't legally operate in the state of Maryland. Here's the deal:

According to the following documents, ACORN, Inc. - the parent organization of all things ACORN - forfeited its corporate charter in Maryland in 2006. ACORN Housing forfeited its corporate charter in 2008. Any ACORN office in the state of Maryland is potentially operating illegally.

This leads me to the latest Republican endeavor ... defunding ACORN. House Republicans have introduced the Defund ACORN Act to make sure that ACORN does not receive one more penny from the taxpayers.

This, as we've already pointed out, is most certainly based on racism.

If the Democrats treat this the same way they have treated Republicans proposals, bills and amendments on healthcare ... it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I would have thought that the 24/7 news cycle and the short attention span of Americans would have put this story to bed by now. But the fallout from Rep. Joe Wilson's "you lie" outburst last week continues to make the news. I bring this story to your attention because I have been harping on the resurrection of the race card lately. Great recent example? The DC tea party this weekend. You do know that those people on the mall were all a bunch of racists, don't you?

Now Joe Wilson is a racist as well. He didn't yell "you lie" at Obama because Obama was lying .. he did it because Obama is black. Read this from Newsbusters.

The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), also known as the Black Press of America, which is a non-partisan 501(c) 3 tax-exempt organization, has decided to show its disapproval of South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's "You Lie" remarks by canceling a convention in the state.

"Rep. Wilson's remarks were racist, disrespectful and a disingenuous violation - not only of President Obama - but to the institution of the presidency and only solidified our position and the importance in not spending Black dollars where Black people are not respected," NNPA Chairman Danny J. Bakewell Sr. said in a statement.

Would somebody please have Chairman Danny Bakewell explain to me what was "racist" about Joe Wilson's outburst of "you lie"? I agree that is was disrespectful. But racist? That is one of the most overused words in the English language. When you hear someone yell "racist" you know you are listening to a limited intellect on a temper tantrumThe only reason his outburst is "racist" is because too many people are walking around this country with racial chips on their shoulder.
