I think it’s amusing that the news anchors are having a ball saying “House Negro.” Listening to CNN, Fox, MSNBC, it was of course the top story and every five minutes the anchor would say the phrase with such relish it came across as something they’ve longed to say but now had a “legitimate” reason to do so. Too funny.

They just wanted headlines, and they got it. Besides people committed to war has no interest in peace. You can never please a radical.

#12, That post made no sense whatsoever. Stick with what you’re good at, son.

Just because you aren’t very bright is no reason to take it out on others.

#27 Li said, “The whole “the west against the east” shtick doesn’t work too well when the leader of one side straddles the middle of the supposed conflict.”

What leader is doing that?

Those terrorists keep calling him names, and Obama is going to stop “palling around” with them.

The PC term is knee grow.

FYI, given the references made to Malcolm X on the tape I would have to assume that the use of “house negro” is a reference to a speech given my Malcolm X gave in the early part of 65 to a group in Alabama.

House negro being a slave who was the owners favorite and who was loyal to the owner and did not care about the “field negro” who was made to do hard labor, eat leftover rotten food, and live in huts, while the “house negro” lived in the master’s house, did light labor in the house, and ate from the master’s table.

The references to Malcolm X and Obama turning his back on his people and being a disgrace to his Muslim heritage strongly support my conclusion that the “house negro” reference had nothing to do with his place in Congress, but rather his revolt against his people in the eyes of a few.
