Black Georgia House Members Call White Members Racists Over Obama Snub

March 20th, 2009 (27) Posted By Pat Dollard.

ATLANTA – Two dozen black lawmakers angrily stalked out of the Georgia House on Friday amid claims a decision by white Republican leaders to delay passage of a resolution honoring President Barack Obama had racist overtones.

House Speaker Glenn Richardson said the proposal to make Obama an honorary member of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus required some changes to its language and sent it to a committee. Supporters, including black lawmakers, claimed the move was a snub to the nation’s first black president.

“It drips with racism,” said state Rep. Al Williams, a Democrat. “I call it just like it is.”

State Rep. Austin Scott said he and other Republicans objected to wording that would have put the full chamber on record backing the resolution and its declaration of Obama as a man with an “unimpeachable reputation for integrity.”

He said he blocked the proposal after Democrats balked at revising the wording.

“All we’ve requested is minor changes to the language,” he said.

Some noted it was a rare move in the Georgia Capitol, where lawmakers routinely adopt all manner of resolutions without debate and often through a show of hands, from measures honoring a constituent’s wedding anniversary to others offering condolences upon a death.

The furor began Thursday when the Republican-controlled House voted 70-68 to reject the resolution. Black lawmakers then walked out Friday, seconds after leaders sent the measure to a committee for reworking.

Black lawmakers pointed out that they’ve gone along in the past with other largely symbolic resolutions out of respect for their colleagues, including a 2005 measure commending then-President George W. Bush’s much-criticized response to Hurricane Katrina.

At the time, critics complained many minority residents of New Orleans bore the brunt of the 2005 storm and its aftermath.

House Majority Leader Jerry Keen said sending the resolution back to committee would help “get this language recrafted” and Richardson suggested an easy fix could be found.

“Two or three words can be changed and this matter can be voted on,” said Richardson, a Republican.

Oh for fuck’s sake….

I know one libtard Obama voter who really beleives that by voting for a black man they have somehow done “their part” to end racism. They beleive that the era of racial victimhood and entitlement will pass. I submit that it has only just begun…

Guess I was right on that one.

â€œunimpeachable reputation for integrity.â€

That integrity would be? What?
Rolling back child protection laws?
NO, now you can kill a baby anytime you want, even if that baby survives a murder attempt.

Integrity, integrity, just a word for this clown. His integrity includes accepting murderers who have killed women and children and warriors on the battlefield into our republic and it’s judiciary system.

“W” as idiot? Then what is this guy? Retarded? Special Olympic worthy?

Did the Georgia State Legislature invite George W. Bush to be a member of the Georgia Legislative White Caucus? No? Oh Yeah, Having a White Legislative Caucus would be Racist wouldn’t it? Until everyone is actually treated as equal, not with special rights, groups like this can ESAL.

“calling it just like it is…” if you’re against this socialist, incompetent, charlatan in the white house you’re a racist. No.. that is bull shit. Voting in mass as a group for a candidate because of his race, that’s racist. Being in a group (caucus) based upon race, that’s racist. Calling people racist that disagree with you, that’s racist. Get the point

Amen mark, point well made, it is what it is. The ones crying racist are usually the biggest ones of all.
It is a twisted part of human nature to project our own sins onto others. As sierrahome says below, those pointing the finger have three pointing back at themselves. We must be very careful about casting judgment on others. The Dems very often victimize the ones they say they stand for.

No falconfixer.
The pukes that “walked out”.

So these black legislators are crying racist at the white ones because they can’t pass a bill making Obama an honorary legislative member of Georgia because he’s black? I wonder who the real racists here are. Wait, no I don’t it’s amazingly clear who they are.

What were they honoring Odummer for? He hasn’t done anything but screw up.

Odummer’s get even with whitey plans are slowly making their presence known.

How is it that black folk can throw labels around like that and not be deemed racist–I am reminded about the old saying that when you point a finger you have three pointing back at yourself.

Obama WILL start a RACE WAR, because HE is a racist.

Mike Mose,

Don’t forget Gorilla Bitch.She drips with hate.

American Woman

And eric holder
charley rangel
maxine waters
the whole black caucas
and the rest of the black cabinet appointees

I agree the community aggitator is stirring the pot.
everything the gorilla bitch does is for the black community, she and the rest of them see the world in black and white.

Many times I have thought too bad Lincoln got shot before he planned to send them back to africa! We would not have this mess if he did. They hate America so much go back to Africa, oh thats right they wont get a free ride there, no white guilt there to capitalize off of. Obongos will do the same to America taking money from the whites to line the pockets of the blacks, restitution. Look at all our inner cities, schools and everything else the blacks control, coorupt and in the shits inner city schools get the most funding per student, where is the money going, those kids cant change a light bulb and the place is falling apart! But to speak the truth is racist for whites. Blacks get to cry racist like a child when they dont get there way. Whites need to stand up, we are getting rail roaded by blacks like conservative are getting railroaded by radicals. see the simularities??

I knew this would happen. The great divider!! Whites are racist for not going along with the marxist agenda? Al Gore’s dad and Senatator Byrd have been associated with the KKK. funny too is all the crys of racism comes from the left.What Im wondering if Ofuck could have any kind of vote/say so being an honorary member of the legislative caucas??
This guy has done more damage in his 2 months than Carter did in 4 years.

There was also an art gallery in Georgia where the “artist” had written on a FLAG that white people need to be descriminated on [something like that but not as nice] FOX covered it and when the gallery owner was asked if he was going to take it down he said it is an artistic expression. He too was a “minority”

Isnt it interesting the the “minoritys” in this country get the majority voice?? black,mexican,muslim,poor
DC

I wonder if these dumbfucks realize he’s only half-black?

I LMAO every time I think about how the “halfrican” has managed to hoodwink and bamboozle most of his idiot-stick followers into doing stupid shit like this.

If anything, he’s drivin a wedge between the blacks and the rest of America!

This is a sad and disabling curse of perpetual victimhood. The left rewards victimhood status but with Obama as President it is getting real old real fast.

Do other resolutions include lies and cult-like kudos and worship? Dumb.

Apparently they have loads of free time and nothing else to do down there in Georgia.

Have any of the learned Black Caucus of SC read or are familiar w the 10 Amendment to the US Constitution. Are they also aware that Barry’s Mom was WHITE….???????????????

I wonder how many in the black community relize that Martin Luther King was a republican. Evidence of this is crystal clear. Here’s one example…
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=16500

If the black community is really interested in learning the history of their culture in the United States, then they need to stop overlooking important facts that it was the democratic party that sought to “keep the black man down.”

In fact, the black community needs to come the relization that the democrats are STILL trying to keep the black man down, they just disguise their tactics better today – welfare, food stamps, housing projects, ACORN, etc.

Obama is going to raise taxes on asprin 300% cuz they are white and they work! Fuck you fucking crybaby racists!

“Blacks get to cry racist like a child when they dont get there way.”

This is the bottom line, when the child wants the candy and the parent says NO! The child results to whatever behavior works to force the parent to give them the candy.

The Democratic party enables this behavior to continue so long as the children continue to vote them into office.

Is a mutually beneficial arrangement between the children and Democrats.

This behavior ends when children learn that it does not work anymore and they have to grow up and become responsible individuals like everyone else, get a job, earn money & buy the candy.

Then again what do I know I don’t have children.
