A Democratic candidate and a liberal mayor.

SMH

But apparently all that was forgiven, as this is sure to be.

or something from a minstrel show.

What's next for her? Blackface?

A "horrific" racist joke? Give me a break.

When will we be done with them?

You apparently know very little of political history.

Hillarians, and even a Bernie supporter called me out and the Bernie supporter put me on ignore for posting this (if they even were a Bernie supporter, lots of fakes in here). It needs to be seen. It is very racist.

send me a link to your post, please

Put me on ignore, your just trying to bait me into saying something hide worthy

We actually used to get along quite well, but that was a while ago.

I don't use ignore, it creates an echo chamber and I'm not a fan of it.

So unless you ignore me, expect to see my posts.

Has the admins responded yet to clear my name, its very tiresome. They haven't responded to my ask the admins post.

Thanks for standing up.

So that makes the OP headline false and misleading.

no one complained. Or if they did, I didn't see it.

Why I read it right here on BU!1!11!



Here he is being racist with his wife and children.

Why would he participate in a joke like that?

Just when you think the Sadners crew has scraped the bottom of the barrel completely...

Everyone knows about his wonderful family.

So stop trying to excuse bad behavior with this dodge.

If you need it explained to you, perhaps you are insensitive to racism, too.

The shame here lies with people who accept racism and are afraid to call it out.

We'll mark you down in that category.

"Likes racist jokes"

Your argument was bad, and you should feel bad.

But it's good to know where you stand on the matter.

The way you make terrible assumptions and try to transform those into arguments to support yourself is ridiculous. The way you practice debate is ridiculous. Everything about you is ridiculous.

And the amount of time I indulged your obvious need for attention before Ignoring you is also ridiculous, so I'll remedy that right now.

Ignored!

and you find it so outrageously 'racist"....Hillary did NOT say it.

The absurd, misplaced and overblown 'outrage' here is a JOKE.

Next, I'm expecting a revelation that Mayor Bill is a secret KKK member.

and your saying "he can't be racist because he has friends a wife who's black" doesn't make it OK.

Do you think men who are married can be sexist? That they can say sexist things, even about their own wives & daughters?

But I believe it's less likely a virulent racist, which is what Berners are trying to make BD out to be, would marry a black woman.

I think this is what it looks like: a desperate attempt by Sanders supporters to make HRC and the mayor of NYC out to be racists. and other than far right and far left fever swamp sources, the issue doesn't seem to getting much traction.

I'm sure that gives you a sad, but you keep on trying little choo-choo train and you'll get up that hill someday!

they're just a little bit superior, condescending, stereotypical, demeaning... all in good fun?

I don't know the man. I don't know how often he makes "jokes" about his kids being shiftless, or if he laughingly calls his wife uppity if she stands up to him. Maybe this was the only time he's ever said anything like this.

That doesn't make the comment less racist... or more defensible, which is what you're trying desperately to do. You seem to think that if he's not a VIRULENT racist -- which he can't possibly be since he has a black friend wife -- referring to "colored people time" is not a racist thing to say.

She called it "Cautious politician" time...If anything, she was trying to 'clean it up"..This was NOT her idea

DiBlasio is in an interracial marriage with bi-racial kids -- Now HE is "racist" too?

With the Southern Primaries over, it's time to shift into rich white folk mode.

Get real.

aware of and hadn't rehearsed that skit I have a bridge to sell you.

Unless you're some big time party insider, (which I doubt) you don't know squat about how they arrived at that exchange, so save your 'bridge' for a situation in which you know actially what you're talking about.

This isn't going anywhere. Hillary didn't even say anything. It was the mayor who made the questionable remark.

Just because the sidekick or straight wo/man isn't telling the "funny" part, doesn't mean that they aren't responsible for the material.
De Blasio is Laurel to Hillary's Hardy.

Or any blackface minstrel show.

But more appropriate

part of the "joke"

Have you never seen an old Amos and Andy clip?

Good to know.

Is the "joke" offensive, or not?

to an African American woman. unFUCKINGbelievable.

Greeted here on DU by Hillary supporters with snark and acceptance of the incipient racism.

apparently part of the skit. Get real.

Leslie Odom Jr, right? Someone even suggested he wrote the joke. If that's the case, certainly he would have known there would be blow back, right? I even wonder if De Blasio knew what CP Time meant. What's next? Is Hillary going to respond with "Nigga please" to a question?

and many other friends while growing up. I don't see this going anywhere.

and if this is an example of virulent 'racism', I'm sure his wife and kids will give him hell for it,

Somehow, though, I'm getting that he wouldn't say it if he thought it would.

Unless you think that even referencing the existence of that acronym is inherent racist, which is a fairly extreme position to take.

De Blasio rapping and calling Hillary his "homegirl" seemed a lot more cringeworthy, and potentially racially insensitive.

"Grasping at Straws".

"Lame Attacks".

...but I will be checking back later to see how many DU members need to be added to the list of "tolerant of racist jokes".

married to the first black prez.

So racists jokes is just fine!

And Hillary shouldn't have played along. She should have punched him in the nose, walked off the stage, and repudiated his endorsement.

Can the mayor of New York be recalled or impeached now that he has revealed his true racist colors?

Gosh, I sure hope DeBlasio's interracial family doesn't fiind out about this. They'd be shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

things will probably be somewhat uncomfortable.

I don't care who is married to whom. If it makes people uncomfortable, offends people, why do the joke. What is the underlying message here?

But just a joke. However, I think if Bernie made a joke like this, it would not be considered a joke. He be accused of being a racist, continuing the narrative some have been pushing. Bill gets a pass though.

Thanks for the thread, grasswire.

say what you like about her, but she thinks really well on her feet, part of why she's good in debates. that was decent awareness; i think the deflection itself was a little too weak to soften it sufficiently -- sure, could have been "just" humor, could also come off as racist humor, in which case being seen laughing along with it and trying for the deflection will cause some damage.

pretty careless of M. de Blasio, probably hurt his own career more than HRC's.

This OP is ridiculous.

De Blasio rapping was pretty bad though.
