COMMENT NOW! Racist Rush Limbaugh At It Again: Paterson Gets to Play “Massa”
If this level of racism, by a minority radio commentator, was directed at white people there is no way in the world he would still be broadcasting. No way period! I don’t care what people say about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. I don’t care what videos of Louis Farrakhan that Fox News drags out and airs every hour on the hour. If America was really post-racial then this fool would not have an audience. As it stands, Limbaugh is one of the most successful talk show host in the nation. He is spewing this crap on more than 600 radio stations. And some estimate, he is reaching between 12 and 20 million people. So why do people tolerate this crap? It’s because they think he’s funny. His racism is shared by them. Only, THEY can’t say it because society has deemed being an unabashed racist as being poor taste. So they have this fat, oxycontin-addicted barf bag spewing it for them. I suppose its cathartic.
You can listen to the audio here.
Just in case you think I am exaggerating or you want to start working up an excuse for Limbag, here’s just the top 10 of his most racist quotes. When does freedom of speech cross the line and become paramount to yelling fire in a screaming building? Well I guess maybe if he went to Harlem and started broadcasing this shit.
1. “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”
4. “The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”
5. “They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?”
6. [To an African American female caller]: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”
8. “We need segregated buses… This is Obama’s America.”
9. “Obama’s entire economic program is reparations”
