Jim Clyburn: It’s Racial (Again)

“BETTA CHECK HISSELF” U.S. Rep.

“BETTA CHECK HISSELF”

U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn is playing the race card (again) when it comes to critics of embattled Richland County, S.C. election director Lillian McBride – accusing them of using “coded language” in attacking her handling of last month’s election.

According to Clyburn, it is racist to refer to a black public official “incompetent.”  In fact Clyburn has used the same “coded language” argument to attack critics of Susan Rice – who is being considered for the role of Secretary of State in U.S. President Barack Obama’s second term.

JIM CLYBURN

For those of you unfamiliar with the context here, McBride oversaw the “Richland County Robbery” – a rigged election last month that facilitated passage of a $1.2 billion county-wide tax hike.

For the record, this website has never alleged that McBride was incompetent – although even her allies acknowledge that she “may not present herself” as being capable and qualified.  Seriously … check out the comments from S.C. Rep. Leon Howard in this story written by reporter Corey Hutchins of The (Columbia, S.C.) Free Times.

Anyway, if Clyburn’s poverty pimpin‘, money-wastin‘, Cosby sweater-wearin‘, free speech strippin‘, Louis Farrakhan-lovin‘ black ass thinks it’s “racist” to apply the same standards of criticism to people of all colors … “bitch betta check hisself.”

It is not racist to call someone incompetent any more than it is racist to call them fat or ugly.  Nor is it racist to call them corrupt (which is the specific allegation that we are leveling against McBride).

Being black doesn’t exempt one from criticism – nor does it entitle them to praise.

If someone does something wrong they should be called out for it as quickly and as stridently as possible.  And just as this website’s founding editor has called out Clyburn for this crap before  … we will continue to call him out for it.

Every time, punk.  Every time.

Black leaders at the state and national level should be embarrassed by Clyburn’s shameless (and racist) antics.  He’s a disgrace, and a racist in his own right – not to mention one of the most fiscally liberal lawmakers in the history of the U.S. Congress.

Like we said … “bitch better check hisself.”

Are you sure he has a deck – or a “full deck”?

He needs to get off of his hobby horse and learn to play with the adults. Anyway, this racist crap he slings around is really outdated now. We have better, more refined, ways (and polite) to express our feelings.

Jimbo, sorry if your feelings were hurt. Leave the sandbox, change your diapers, wipe your nose, and perhaps you may be accepted as an adult. Someday.

Hey, Jimbo, if you rearrange the letters in “RACE” you get “CARE”, which is a good word for you to know. Think about it.

If you rearrange the letters in “RACIST” you get “STUPID”!

It is, in fact, 100% racial – Miz Lilly is only in this position because she is black. There is no other reason that she would have been hired – the racists here are Darryl Jackson and Jim Clyburn, and any other elected official who does not demand Miz Lilly’s resignation and replacement. And “incompetent” is kind. She needs to be FIRED immediately – her office cluster fucked the entire election – which will cost the people of Richland County mabillions in higher taxes and will drive local merchants further into the red as consumers flee to Lexington and Kerhaw to shop, and as new empty busses prowl the skreets looking for riders to get assaulted and robbed.

Bullshit – she got this position because she knew the right people. The exact same process works on the conservative and largely white side of the political spectrum. Have you ever hired anyone for your own or some other business? Can you seriously say that you did not favor people that you already knew to some degree simply because the unknowns of whether they were a psychopath or a bed-wetter were reduced?

At this time I extend my apologies to the commentators on this site.

It is rare for me to express myself in such harsh language, but when someone insinuates that I am “racist” (which is false) then my asshole puckers – and I don’t like it.

As a life-long Southerner, born and reared in the deep south by caring parents, and an extended family, who never expressed or taught me anything but respect for other people. This included either race or circumstances in life, and I feel that I was treated the same in return.

Jimbo, you still try to have a nice day.

He must be frustated. He is probably trying to suck up obama’s butthole expecting to get a cabinet position. After all, others did it so why can’t he? If he thinks being divisive in his comments helps him well let him be that way. It won’t make him any prettier, and it might get him out of the state. It almost makes me feel sorry for him – almost. Right now Alvin Greene would probably beat him in a popularity contest. Here is my vote – 1.

Let me tell ya, this is nothing compared to what he pulled in georgetown county a few years back. Clyburn helped Dayo and Beulah White get earmark money for an organization called five rivers, which was supposed to use federal money from HUD to help low income families get into their own homes. Of course, they never really helped anyone but their friends and themselves, and after some digging from David Wren (The un-news, myrtle beach) charges were filed by solicitor Greg Hembrees office. Now, here is where it gets really interesting; The first time they showed up in court they both claim not to have money for an attorney, so the court appointed one to represent them. THEN a year later, lo and behold they are being represented by none other than Charlie Condon( former attorney general, SC). How bout that shit! And of course, Charlie would’nt fess up to who was paying him (And you Know a former AG can’t be cheap) or how he got involved, but anyone with a half o brain could figure all that out. Yeah, Clyburn is nothing but F’n crook from way back.

You make a great point and as usual, someone is a little too quick to pull the race card. But I think maybe the next time you write an article condemning racism and the race card, maybe it’d help your case if you leave out the part about his ‘black ass’.. Not quite sure why that was necessary and if anything, it just adds fuel to the already redundant fire that. Otherwise, I completely agree.

Not to mention the appointment of his daughter Mignon Clyburn as an FCC Commissioner. Here is an extract from a 2009 article from McClatchy news service:

“Senate Commerce Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, noted Mignon Clyburn’s more than decade-long service on the S.C. Public Service Commission in hailing her ascension to the FCC.

“As a seasoned state regulator, Ms. Clyburn brings with her a strong understanding of the telecommunications challenges rural Americans face every day,” Rockefeller said.

I live on acreage in Hanahan, a suburb of Charleston. All of my neighbors are hard-working African-Americans (I am the only white guy). Most live on very large heirs property lots. About 10 years ago developers purchased a huge tract of land surrounding this historic former freed slave community from West Virginia Pulp and Paper. They proceeded to flatten these several thousand acres and build thousands of wall-to-wall cheap homes, condos, and a gigantic apartment complex. In this process (in collusion with local government) they refused to extend infrastructure improvements a few hundred feet to the original residents. A few years after the development began they did provide city water.

Developers are drooling over this remaining undeveloped tract where hundreds of wild turkeys gobble their way through the underbrush and deer abound. Hey! Who needs wildlife when we can have parking lots?

I contacted Ms. Clyburn about the “rural Americans” in my neighborhood who were refused upgrades in the phone lines to allow high-speed internet access.

NO RESPONSE.

It would not do much good as it would receive no attention. All of the media in Charleston, especially the TV stations, are in the pocket of the monied interests. I guess the point that I was trying to make is that periodically these African-American politicos step out of the box and make statements to mollify their constituencies and make them believe that they have someone out there speaking for them. In reality, the Clyburn’s are out to promote their own power and self-interest. They are not foolish enough to step on the toes of those who pull the strings.
