MSNBC’s Toure Says Romney is Trying to “Niggerize” Obama’s Campaign
During a heated debate on MSNBC’s show The Cycle Thursday night, discussion panelist Toure stated that Romney was using racial connotations in attempts to “niggarize” President Barack Obama’s campaign.
“You notice he said anger twice. He’s really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the ‘otherization,’ he’s not like us,” Toure told the group.
As we all know the word “angry” has been used many times over to describe the Black woman and Toure is stating that Romney is using this word as a racial slur to demonize Obama as an “angry” Black man who should be feared by all White people (or Republicans).
A back and forth battle then ensued between Toure and conservative co-host S.E. Cupp who couldn’t understand how Romney’s use of the word “angry” was racist, but Vice President Joe Biden’s use of the word “chains” wasn’t.
“You have two white guys in Joe Biden and Mitt Romney,” Cupp clarified. “Joe Biden made the overtly racial comment and has a history of making bigoted remarks. Mitt Romney was responding to the comment. Yet he is the one responsible for the whole Republican history of racism in politics?”
Toure continued to defend Biden’s choice of words and condemn Romney for his.
So do you agree with Toure’s notion that Romney’s use of the word “angry” is really a racial ploy against the Obama campaign?
Man the white people really trained us well because we are still stuck in slave mentality.
Classic example of the black community never taking responsibility for its own ills. Always someone else’s fault. We must always vote for the party of handouts that enslave our people into dependence.
@truth If you are referring to what blah said I think that comment was sarcasm because the rest of the statement demands black people as a whole to take responsibility for their own flaws.
Here’s the truth of the matter… Obama does a fine job of “niggerizing” himself and his wife on a daily basis. Although we do think it’s hilarious that this idiot (Tourre) is jumping up and pointing the finger of blame elsewhere for this “niggerization” of the Socialist Kenyan. As we all know, blacks never blame anyone else for anything (sarcasm). Why don’t you blacks just go ahead and be honest, admit you hate White people and the United States of America!!! And that the end game for blacks is to try and turn America into a Socialist country, where no one (especially blacks) ever has to work and always have their hands out for more gimmes from the Government!!!
sucks to be you, racist motherfucker……
“turn America into a Socialist country, where no one (especially blacks) ever has to work and always have their hands out for more gimmes from the Government”
you mean like europe?
Lmao. You can always trust another one of these awkward bores to turn up on a Black site because their reprobate lives are devoid of meaning.
now let me add my two cents….
i am not a fan of toure but that is because i just dont like him but because this is not the first time i’ve heard of the brother, i can say this is classic toure. however, i do not take issue with what he said. i take issue with people using the argument that it gives white people the chance they been waiting for. let me say it for those that lost the memo: white people do not, have not, and will never have the right to use that word, even if black jesus says it himself. i dont care who says it, they dont get a pass. end of discussion. so i dont care who said it, they bet not….
I’m perplexed as to why you are so perplexed. Apparently, my actions seem to bother you as much as Toure’s actions bother me. Because you stay sniffing my hind quarters. I come from the train of thought that if more black people were strategic in their actions–which includes understanding the actions of their foes–and were less emotional, perhaps we can win a game or two.
This is in response to SMH.
Hey edub.
My question to you was legitimate and stemmed from sincere curiosity. Blacks are not a monolithic group; not politically and certainly not intellectually. Toure is neither a commissioned Black thought leader nor the the appointed defender of all things Obama. Hell, he could antagonize Obama for all I care. He should never amount to more than a talking head motivated by a pay check to a free-thinking citizen. Shouldn’t your ultimate aspiration for a marginalized group to be the individual freedom to be their unique possible best?
I only spoke to factual matters, and you were wrong as I demonstrated. I agree with the “if more black people were strategic in their actions–which includes understanding the actions of their foes–and were less emotional..: line of thought, but the grand irony is that you have shown yourself to be the textbook culprit for prioritizing emotion over objectivity.
Still, why do you, or anyone with your concerns give a damn what a white person thinks of you? That’s a legitimate question, and you can either address that or avert the embarrassing implication. It’s unfortunate that you decided to pervert your arguments into schoolyard bickering. I’m sure that’s a nice fantasy but I’ll pass. I never noticed your moniker until I witnessed the absurdity of your remark. If you cannot defend your positions intelligently, you should probably avoid public forums.
The proverbial saying “silence is golden” is kind of golden in this situation
