THE BUCK-NAKED BIGOTRY OF TED RALL
Ted “Bottom-feeder” Rall is at it again. His latest crude-toon includes a frame depicting Condoleezza Rice proclaiming herself Bush’s “HOUSE NIGGA.” A black man demands that Rice “HAND OVER HER HAIR STRAIGHTENER.” His t-shirt reads “YOU’RE NOT WHITE, STUPID.” The caption below the frame reads “SENT TO INNER-CITY RACIAL RE-EDUCATION CAMP.”
I am not going to call for a boycott of Rall’s work. No. I want Universal Press Syndicate and the Washington Post and all his other “mainstream” media outlets to keep publishing his pathetic scrawls and scribbles.
Ted Rall, you see, is a very useful idiot. Whereas most on the Left attempt to conceal their liberal racism in the drapery of “diversity” and “multiculturalism,” Ted Rall is an ideological streaker. His impulsive naked bigotry is so butt-ugly, you can’t help but gawk. It is raw and it is real and it is, quite helpfully, all hanging out there for the world to see.
Show us more of your assininity, Ted. Keep dropping your rhetorical pants. Which other minority public figures do you want to mock for having straightened hair? Colin Powell’s wife? Beyonce? Coretta Scott King? Which other independent-thinking, unorthodox minorities do you want to defame for not thinking “white” enough? You wanna send Bill Cosby to “racial re-education camp,” too, huh? Which other minority conservatives are you just itching to tar as “HOUSE NIGGAS” or “HOUSE CHINKS” or “HOUSE SPICS?”
(It’s also valuable, by the way, to see Rall’s mainstream media clients such as the Washington Post continue to stand by him…while at the same time, moan about the lack of civility in public discourse.)
Rall is not the far Left fringe. He gets away with this pen-and-ink-stained excrement because he reflects the closet thinking of mainstream media editors across the country and their mainstream liberal audiences. His work is reportedly carried in 140 newspapers. He and his ilk are everywhere. I grew up with his kind. I went to school with his kind. I work in the media with his kind. I have been getting contempt-filled, profanity-laced, “You-are-a-traitor-to-your-race/You banana/coconut/Aunt Tomasina/white wannabe” diatribes from his kind in my mailbox for the past 12 years.
I’m just glad to see Rall’s kind crawling out from under their rocks and exposing themselves to sunlight. Bask in the glow, miscreants. Ain’t 21st century liberal bigotry liberating? It’s soooo much easier to breathe without those hoods.
***
A special request for you enterprising graphic designers/creative types: How about designing “TED RALL THINKS I’M A HOUSE NIGGA,” “TED RALL THINKS I’M A HOUSE CHINK,” and “TED RALL THINK’S I’M A HOUSE (BANANA/COCONUT/SPIC/FILL-IN-THE-RACIAL-EPITHET) etc., t-shirts? I would also love to see an “I’M NOT ‘WHITE’…I’M RIGHT” t-shirt for all of us minority conservatives who have been Rall-ed by leftist bigots.
If you get something up for sale quick at CafePress or the like (doesn’t need to be fancy, just the plain text slogan would be fine), let me know and I’ll buy ‘em, I’ll wear ‘em, and I’ll plug ‘em.
UPDATE: Wow! My peeps work fast! Rachel Jurado, who blogs at Banana Republican, has launched the “Uncle Tom’s Outreach Initiative” at CafePress with a few of the suggested t-shirts and some of her own original work. (I’m going with the cute pink “I’m not ‘White.’ I’m RIGHT” shirt and one of those “Self-loathing race traitor”” cotton t’s. Also gonna do some early Christmas shopping and snatch up some of those ash-gray “RALL THINKS I’M A HOUSE NIGGA” t’s!)
UPDATE: These aren’t for sale (too bad!), but Allahpundit has designed some great Rall-wear, too.

Chaos,
It’s tough to know who the real black leaders are. The media annoints guys like Jesse, and the fact that Sharpton even got in the debates means someone was taking him seriously. Without any counter commentary from the black community, what are we to really know.
I hear the NAACP basically calling Bush the devil since he was elected, and then throwing a hissy fit because he won’t aggress the national convention.
Duh.
While it’s apparent to the liberals, the French and the NAACP that words and insults are just comic barbs or meaningless banter, they mean something to me. If you give someone your word, keep it. If you insult someone, you should be prepared for a response. Maybe I just am looking for a time in the past where people said what they meant and where held accountable for it.
If that meant getting your rear kicked, so be it.

Here you go

[[Finally, please clarify my mis-statement regarding Al so I may retort.]]
It was your misstatement that Jesse paid no price for his Hymietown statement.
[[but if a conservative cartoonist put something like that on paper they would be hung from the nearest lampost.]]
As I said, Rall was an obscure cartoonist who – probably like Moore and Clarke and 1000 others before them -are all grateful for the publicity that they are getting.
[[When asked a moment later about the incident by a reporter on the ski run, Kerry said sharply, "I don't fall down," the "son of a bitch knocked me over."]]
You don’t believe that the word “sharply” is an editorialization?
Chaos: I agree you never said it was ok to use racial slurs, but when you say things like “Rall’s commentaries are housed in a satirical tongue-in-cheek world of cartooning” , to me that comes across as saying: well…..he didn’t really mean it, because than you say that Rush means what he says.
“All I am saying is I’ve noticed a trend where people ON BOTH SIDES will let their own people have a pass while critisizing someone on the other side for the same bad behavior. It is hypocritical no matter who does it” This is a quote from you, and so I go back to what I just wrote.
You also say that Rall’s “joke” was racist and sexist, than you go one to say:
“It was a joke, a poorly executed tasteless joke, but a joke neverthless. When someone like Rush makes sexist and racist comments he means what he says and other people follow his lead. I don’t think anybody takes Rall seriously enough to change their behavior based on the crappy jokes in his cartoons.”
Sorry, maybe I’m wrong, but that sounds to me like your giving Rall a pass.
You say that you’re an independent Black woman, most of the time I don’t like to assume but I will here again. By independent black woman that means you’ve worked hard all your life to get to where you are. So if a middle aged white guy had said this about you at work, but now remember he was just joking, what would you have done?
I wonder how many people read that comic and said to themselves, “yea she’s just a stupid house nigga”
You said you agreed with Michelle in spirit, I would like to ask you some honest questions, what was your thoughts when you first read this cartoon? Did you think it was funny or where you outraged? If someone that supported Bush would have said this about a Black Lady that supported Kerry, would your thoughts have been the same? I ask those question to everybody here.
Let’s go back to your example “You can’t ask the left to chastiste their pundits for bad behavior unless the right is willing to do the same thing. The best way to lead is by example.” I agree totally with that statement as I agree with this- You can’t ask the right to chastise their pundits for bad behavior unless the left is willing to do the same thing.
Thanks for the link Jack. Another one for my file.
How in the hell can you get out of bed in the morning knowing that your job is to take a bullet for John Kerry?
Actually, for any politician. Make it to this stage and you’re certainly a weasel.
[[3) I don't need the word sharply to know that Kerry is a dickhead for saying that. The fact is he said it, word for word. ]]
What if he was laughing when he said it or said it sarcastically?
In your link, you’re reading an account of an account of an account.
[[I don't see how Jesse suffered. Sure he didn't win the presidency, but he wasn't going to win anyway. He has managed to shake down some major corporations, including Coca Cola for hundreds of millions directly to his Rainbow Coalition, which apparently was being used to pay for mistresses. If that's suffering, the I'd like to suffer some as well.]]
Your hyperbole aside, Jesse Jackson strives for relevance. He has none. He had it. He has it no longer.
Well, since Jesse has no relevance yet got several hundred million from corporate America, I’m on the case.

Is this good enough for you, or should I keep digging? Waaaa, the truth sure does suck.

Oh God, I actually found an account of the incident in the paper of record for liberals. Or was that an account of an account?
