More things you can’t say in the Age of Obama

Remember back in October when someone accused me of RAAAAACISM for using the phrase “thug thizzle?” Here.
And remember when the Associated Press decried Sarah Palin’s criticism of Obama’s relationship with Bill Ayers as “racially tinged?” Here.
And remember the racial-card brouhaha when John McCain referred to Obama as “that one?” And when Time magazine called him racist for criticizing Franklin Raines? And when unhinged bloggers called Palin racist for wearing white? Here.
Well, add another item to the RAAAAACIST list: You can no longer use the phrase “tricked out” without being labeled a you-know-what. Brian Maloney writes:
Yes, according to close Barack friend and Massachusetts First Lady Diane Patrick, the use of “tricked out” to describe Governor Deval Patrick’s publicly-funded Cadillac is “racist” because the term is apparently used to disparage black people.
Though Patrick aimed her tirade at the Boston Herald, it was one of several Boston-area news outlets that ridiculed the Bay State governor after trading in a more modest state vehicle for a brand new Caddy.
In particular, New England talk hosts hit him hard, badly damaging his public standing upon taking office in January 2007. Regionally-syndicated talker Howie Carr even created a website called Coupe DeVal that still exists today.
Diane Patrick’s sentiments were revealed in a new book by far-left Obamist commentator Gwen Ifill, The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama.
Yep, that Gwen Ifill — the ethically-challenged debate “moderator” who, of course, played the race card when her objectivity was challenged.
Just another race-hustling journalist carrying water for her demagogic friends.

So, since we can’t say “tricked out”, can we say “pimped out”? More direct, actually, especially when “rims” and “sound systems” and “headrest-mounted TV sets” are included, and lots of gold and “bling”. Hmm. Can I say “bling”? What about “grill” aka gold teeth? Damn. I need a list. Can I still say “pop a cap”?
Lenny Bruce said it all…
I’m a sixty three year old white man. We used the slang “tricked out” in early 1960 to describe our custom hotrods.
Leave my language alone, you RACIST.
Im making a banner to hang across the street from the state house, it will simply state: “Tricked Us and Tricked Out”
Thank You Devalue Patrick!!
Bradley: “pimped out” was my first thought if we can’t say “tricked out”– brilliant minds run in like circles.
I fully intend to use every word, phrase, comment, completely UN-PC, etc. that will be specifically identified as “RRAAACCCIISSSTTT” every chance I get from Jan 20th, 2009, at noon, until Mr Obama is history. My even put it on my bumper sticker!!
I regularly “pop a cap” into paper targets as far out as 500 yards. I even “tricked out” my .45 to have 4 less pounds of trigger pull than it did as a stock weapon.
Ooops, was that “racist”? My bad…
The word “racist” in quotes is entirely misleading. There is no indication that Diane Patrick used this word. The only quote from her is this:
That doesn’t mean she is calling racism at all. In fact, it doesn’t even mean it has anything to do with race, as she could just mean the controversy was overblown. At the most, she might have called attention to double standards, but that’s not the same as calling people discriminatory.
I don’t know what’s more inane and dishonest from Michelle Malkin, saying that Diane Patrick played the race card, or saying Gwen Ifill did by comparing herself to Lou Cannon, and then declining to attribute the treatment to racism when asked.
Compare this to actual and explicit victim-card playing by the McCain-Palin camp that as far as I can tell was never called out on this site.
I guess Flo from the Progressive Insurance commercials is a racist too, with her “tricked out” name tag.
Puhleeze…
Good. Pimpped will do.
Well, alrighty then! Pimped it is!
*That’s perfect, because I never thought that the term “Pimped” was racist, since there are so many white pimps out there.
Sarc*
I think the rules are pretty simple if you just give it a little thought. Any terms used by African-Americans which have no listing in an English language dictionary, and are used by said persons in conversations with other African-Americans, are for their exclusive use. Much like Ebonics.
A few:
playa
whazup
ho
homey
shorty
blunt
dubs
pimpin’
ballin’
diss
word
yo’ mama
foo’
Of course they can’t claim “ride, for sure, ain’t,” and other established words and terms.
You must be careful though, when using the terms, “hoe down, stop your bawlin’, ask your mama, what’s the word for, let me be blunt, your house has a homey feel to it, can I play again,” etc., since they sound similar.
Let them have their own lexicon. It’s cheap, inoffensive, and doesn’t demand tax money to implement.
“Tricked out” is not what I would say about a car that has been modified in such a manner. The actual words I would use might not get me called racist, but would certainly result in loss of commenting privileges.
Did the left-wing trolls have a group meeting and decide to nit-pick every post? Lame.
And another thought…doesn’t the Governor’s Spouse add fuel to the fire of black stereotyping?
I’ve got it …let’s ban the English Language!…then every fool will be happy!
/sarc
They’re too busy trying to gain asylum by playing the “gay card”.
As with a 1956 Crown Vicky “tricked out” and that Gwen Ifill — the ethically-challenged debate “moderator” can go to hell. The two grandfathers and my grandson are now “tricking out” a 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan. Pucker up Gwen. I’ll give you a rest before we talk about the Camero, XXXXh.
Flo is exempt….did you not know that Progressive insurance is owned by George Soros? Hence the title Progressive. The company gives tons of money to left wing causes, they can never be racist!!
Well pimp my ride, butter my butt, and call me a biscuit……
Oh, and slap my grandma and shut my mouth…..
“nit-pick” as in having no basis in reality?
Its definitely a tricked-out, pimped-out, curb-feelers, spinner-rims, with Schlitz Malt Liqour 40oz bottle holders, in da hood caddy!
Look on the bright side, at this rate Hip-Hop / Rap music will be illegal soon. There goes all their lyrics.
I know, I know Put me in a racist time out.
I think they are on to us. After all, when WHITE Sarah Palin talked about Barack’s relation to WHITE Bill Ayers it was obviously a secret code!
They MUST have a copy of the “honkey code book.” That means they are reading and decyphering all our secret communications. We are UNDONE!
Another black eye for Gwen. ooops.
Yo homes! Nice ride.
Is “riced out” still okay??????
Oh, wait! Are we allowed to call ourselves “Honkey” under these new rules?
Is Michelle considered a “Honkey” under these new rules? I mean, she doesn’t look melanin deprived but they say she is a “race traitor” and a “sell-out” so is it purely a melanin thing or an attitude? I guess I can’t say ‘tude any longer either.
This is getting so complicated. I wish I weren’t white…
Hmmmmmm…..
Is it “Honkey” or “Honkie”???
Maybe “Honkii”
Or “Honqui”
I dunno……
I would put the word journalist in quotes; she is no more a journalist than I am. In addition, the entire group of Obama zombies is sickening and pathetic.
“Let me help, I speak Jive. Cutta say ka hang baby?”
If you gotta ask you probably are one!
I’d rather be a honqui than a donqui.
I think what Diane Patrick meant to say, was that people should be more niggardly in their effusiveness, when describing Devalue Patrick’s MackDaddilac!
Can I say again that I’m glad to have left the People’s Republic of Taxachusetts?
This guy is a tool.
This reminds me of something funny.
Many years ago my mother learned how to say “Hello. How are you?” in Korean.
The neighbor in the house behind ours got mad at her for some reason (he was always mad at everyone so that was kinda normal) and he started cussing her.
She responded by saying “Hello. How are you?” in Korean.
He got so mad that he called the police and told them that she was cussing him and threatening him.
When the police arrived she told them what it meant and they checked on it and she was right. So they told the neighbor to shut up and if he opened his mouth once more, or called to make another false complaint, then he would be the one to go to jail.
Every time after that when he would get mad she would simply repeat “Hello. How are you?” in Korean. It always made him so mad!!
Really?
I thought we were now post-race with the election of the One? Oh yeah, not when it’s still politically convenient to act otherwise. At least patriotism is back in vogue. /sarc
RSS, may I reply or is that also racist? Stop blaming people who call people on this PC crap and stop the PC crap.
Hmmmm… wonder what new ethics violation they’re covering up by bringing this to the forefront.
Or am I racist for insinuating that His Obamaness would be involved in a scandal?
I’ve tricked out my computer with multiple photo editing programs, scanners, and a large format nine color printer that does up to 13 X 20 size pictures.
Is that racist or nerdy?
Was it a tricked out or pimped up Caddy or was it a duece and a quarter? Maybe some bro or some cuz just driving his Buark down to the crib.
These people need to get a life. The only thing I can say about PC is if anybody believes that it is PC, then it probably isn’t. Why is it that so many blacks feel that only non-blacks can be racist?
I guess that leaves out “pimpmobile”.
That’s the first time I saw the word niggardly used in an oh so proper and hilarious way!
ROTFLMAO- and spewing iced tea at the same time!
Ah. An Airplane reference. Very good, Leatherneck.
No! I used to watch Pimp My Ride. They even pimped some white girl’s old P.O.S. AMC Pacer. That was funny!
Oy Vey!
I recently pimped out my den with a huge LCD TV and surround sound and stadium seats. My black friend said my den was “really pimped out now”
Should I turn myself in? I’m so confused.
with surround sound and stadium seats.
Hey Arizona. Tricked out like this one.

Too bad we can’t shove all the phony racist crap into a black hole.
Shucks! I forgot that term is racist too!!!
I have NEVEr heard that phrase used to describe anything related SPECIFIALLY to a black person EVER. It has been used since I was a child to describe anything that was upgraded over and above what the particular item in question came as originally. It is used in comic books, magazines, movies etc. to describe anything that has been…”tricked out”.
I am in agreement with the above posting where “pimped out” would be more appropriate if one was to attach a claim of racism, since it is a term originally used by blacks to describe things that look as if a stereotypical 1970′s Hollywood-ized pimp might have owned or decorated it. Yet even THAT shouldn’t have a “racism” moniker attached, as it is so deeply engrained into the American lexicon that everyone, including kids as young as 5 or less, have been heard using it to describe anything that meets the afore mentioned criteria.
If you ask me…which no one ever does, but that never stops me…anyone who cries “racism” is doing nothing more than exposing themselves as being the racist since it was they who actually saw the alleged offense in the first place, as well as demonstrating to everyone around just what a little cry-baby, poo-butt, insecure moron they are at their very core.
Now THAT was one “tricked out” response.
Very nice. I would give Gwen Ifill a ride to the airport in that tricked out sheen. Being Post Racial I would even let her sit in the front seat listening to my 8 track.

hopefully invoking Weird Al isn’t automatically racist now too
So all the liberals here who said free speech wouldn’t be censored under an Obama administration – I’m waiting for my apology…
Yet another example that cements Ann Coulter’s book “Guilty”.
Liberals try to act like the victims in Every Circumstance…when They are the ones exploiting.
But free speech isn’t being censored…only what we deem to be racist, sexist, homophobic, conservative speech is. Oh and anything else we don’t like.
Everything else is permitted.
If you have any questions, don’t ask them.
Sincerely,
Liberals
Was she doing her head side-to-side and around in a circle when she said it?
So, Whats it called when the Caddy is up on blocks in the front yard of the capitol…….???
Thug thizzle Chic.
In the comments section of the Boston Herald most posters are wondering if that makes Progressive Insurance racist too since spokesgal Flo proudly shows off her “Big, tricked-out nametag” in one commercial.
Almost all the comments are negative towards Mrs. Patrick having the gall to pull out the race card over her husband’s overindulgent ways.
Wow, news to me. I thought “tricked out” meant that a hooker was over worked.
You think it’s nuts now, just wait until the Obamas discover a lawn jockey in the Rose Garden at the Whitehouse!
okiedokie—HAR!
I have ’87 Coupe DEE-VEE, and I wanted to put purple faux fur in the back window, but now I wonder if that’s questionable?
Let me know before this afternoon…
MINDLESS RANT WARNING! ALL GINKO SATURATION HAS BEEN DEPLETED!!! I BELONG IN A BUNNY WARD! READ AT YOUR OWN PERIL!
Disclaimer: Before anyone here decides to chide me for being “racist” or whatever because of what I am about to say and how I say it, let me disabuse you of doing so by telling you like it is- I have paid my racial dues in American society with nearly 30 years of public life, community service, and general racial mayhem in the social trenches of this country. And I at least believe I know what I am talking about when it comes to racial opportunists like Gwendolyn Ifill.
So, go there if you must, but be assured it will be futile. Arrogant you say? Perhaps to you it may come off that way. All i know is that racism’s impact on me for decades was the “gift” of self-doubt. Well, I’ve been healed of that legacy in my life and now just say it like it is for me here on this hillside overlooking the bastion of neo-fascism known as Berkeley California to the outside world.
So, from high atop the western slope of Grizzly Peak, overlooking the fiefdom of Pelosi Galore and Any Twosome Newsome- “heee it go”.
The ObingoDingoLeftWingo presidency will prove an old adage by a venerable anti-racism pro:
“Unless you understand racism- white cultural supremacy- what it is and how it works-everything else that you think you understand will only confuse you.”
The buffoon Gwen “I feel my cholestorol about to run out of my nose” Ifill is at the height of the epitome of that adage.
Yes, I do not hold Henny Gwenny in high esteem. Sue me. Call me “racist” or whatever neo-Marxist label out there that seems to fit.
But, in the racial sweepstakes derby, the Oppression Olympics, I cannot hold a candle to Ms. Ifill-A-Pulitzer-Coming-On.
Yes, Ifill is Black. Yes, Ifill is a Black woman. And, yes, Ifill is second guessed by racist white people and racially biased-everybody-elses everywhere. Her life has had its share of crap eating because of her race and her sex.
But her politics, save her identity mongering, mirror the white neo-facist left wing politics of the United States of Goddam America. And, they are reminiscent-at least in part- of the Jesse Jackson shakedown politics where attachment to the white Democratic core of the American left is the Big Show for step-and-fetchit Black journalists like Gwenny Ifill-yer-pain-girl.
That is the confusing part about racial oppression. Racism is pain- so why would a race-card playing journalist want to conform to the white-inspired values system that is the value system of card carrying racists the world over?
Confusing. Kinda like homosexuals who are “oppressed” by heterosexuals and our institutionalized heterosexual biases wanting to participate in the ultimate heterosexual institution: MARRIAGE. Confusing.
“Unless you understand what racism is….” “Unless you understand what heterosexism is….”
So what is Gwen Ifill about to do to herself “post-inauguration”? (This is the ultimate fruit of real racism- we people of “color” do sh*t to ourselves because we “need” certain things and end up doing weird chit to get the job done—- unless we are emotionally sober, trained to change our responses to the racial pressure against us and to chart courses in life that keep us walking in truth and beauty.)
Ifill doesnt get what i just said. And maybe you dont either. The point is I survived the racial sweepstakes and the addiction of the Oppression Olympics Ifill is still competing in.
No one is meant to. Michelle Malkin survived it to. We don’t live sucking on the Oppression Boobie so we can become Fattened Up Lil Darlings of the White Liberal NeoFascist Elites.
So what is all this posing for by the burly journalist from PBS.
Simple.
Gwen Ifill wants access to the ObingoDingoWingo “Camelot” and be one of Mrs. ObingoDingoWingo’s gal pals in the various tea rooms.
This is “GI’s” shining hour as a “journalist”. GI has to go for it. She knows it. So does the white liberal neofascist establishment. She is penultimately useful to the spinning of one of the grandest yarns in US Presidential History.
If she can score access now, she assures herself a lifetime of picking through the Presidential papers and letters of the ObingoDingoWingo Messiah himself–in academe, the ultimate golden parachute.
And Ifill is golden because she has managed to parlay the lingo of “oppression” to a level that assures her playtime with- yes, you guessed it- circles of elite white people. The milk of the Boobie be runnin out the corners of her mouth. And she is so cuddly to her masters and their coteries.
There arent any banjos playin, but that big white house in the distance is eerily familiar to this scenario of modern day tokenism.
Poor Gwen Ifill is a palatable Negro. Reverend Al Sharpton is not. You get my drift here, eh?
Ifill-like-having-a-Twinky is the darling of the PBS News Hour. She has her own PBS News Show (the name hasnt managed to stick with me.)
Ifill has been suitable for positioning inside the ObingoDingoWingo Presidency by the lefty machine hacks because her politics are not militant or “Black” (like the first Black First Lady’s are)….but she does have that “quan” white liberal fascists love because her skin is Black black but her politics are liberal Democrat.
In other words, Gwen brings a bone to the ObingoDingoWingo’s and will, in return carry bones from the ObingoDingoWingo’s back to the white liberal establishment.
My point is Ifilll has cred because she is not an angry Black woman. She is a polished Negro who knows who her media masters are- and she plays along to build her career, and ultimately her relief from real life as a tenured academic somewhere, as a crowned princess of the racial sweepstakes so few Black men and women survive in real life.
Gwen’s function will be to sow the propaganda from its sources inside the White House and spread it on the outside to the Mass Media Spreaders who dose the American Poppyfields now afflicting the American Electorate who voted for this loser-in-a-suit to become President.
If so, she needs to get her one of them thar machines that spray the pig’s sh*t far and wide like the farmers around my place.
Can women say “my baby daddy”?
Can we still call him the magic negro?
I’m still bothered that folks are usin’ “cowboy” in a derogatory way. Cowboys were our heroes growin’ up, white hats an’ sixshooters! They stopped the land grabbers, claim jumpers, cattle rustlers, greedy bankers, bank robbers, stage coach an’ train robbers, card sharps, tin horns, an’ the other bad guys with their evil black hats. They taught us right from wrong, taught us to honor our parents, taught us to be patriotic, and taught us our WORD was our BOND. Cowboys judged people by their actions, not their words, their color, or their religion. There has never been a more “diverse” group in our history than the cowboys. Now, when someone uses the word “cowboy” they say it like its sompthin’ they shoulda scraped offa their shoe. Who do I see about that?

Cadillac Deval is considering DOUBLING the state’s gasoline tax which will easily make it the highest in the country. He also is thinking about laminating a microchip inside inspection stickers to tally your actual mileage and tax you per mile. Being a driver in Massachusetts is destined to become the same as being a smoker – tax the CRAP out of you for doing ‘X’. Meanwhile, state and local police, fire, other government workers plus all the do-nothing HACK appointees enjoy among the highest salaries and pensions in the country.
We keep giving them more momey and they just keep spending it on themselves.
