One paragraph in a story about a Chicago politician teaming up with the SEIU to get out the vote on November 2nd says a lot about the SEIU and its views of African Americans.
It is one thing for the SEIU to send in paid (and unpaid) operatives to get people out to vote, it is quite another for them to target a race because they are more “persuadable” than others.
On Election Day they [the SEIU] will dispatch 4,000 workers — 2,000 paid operatives and 2,000 volunteers — to juice up turnout on Chicago’s South and West sides and in the south suburbs. The effort mirrors a sweeping national Democratic push to energize black voters.
Why do the Democrats’ last hopes hinge on the black vote?
For better or worse, African Americans remain staunch Obama defenders. The SEIU funded polling research showing that, given the anti-Democratic mood, other voting blocs were not “persuadable.” [Emphasis added.]
It’s not the first time the SEIU’s racism has reared its ugly head. Last year, a minor controversy erupted when Executive Vice President Gerry Barnes was caught on camera explaining how “it doesn’t take a whole lot to argue African-American workers to another place.” [Video here.]
[Easily "persuadable," apparently.]

know your place
LISA BULLOCK-HOCK (Diary) Tuesday, October 26th at 6:43PM EDT (link)It’s just another way of saying “know your place”–dependent on government, poor, and afraid to stand on their own. Just the way the Democratic party wants all of us.

NeoKong (Diary) Monday, October 25th at 8:53PM EDT (link)Gee….I wonder who the haters are supposed to be.
It never fails too amaze me how blacks in a city that is ranked most dangerous in the country and has one of the worst high school graduation rates as well will consistently vote for the Democrats who made the mess they live in.
You can look at any ghetto city in America and most likely they have a Democrat for a mayor and Democrats on the city council.
Look at Detroit. It’s a wasteland.
Parts of that city look so rundown that even Snake Plissken wouldn’t go there.
Gingrich said it best. Democrats are the party of food stamps.

Also out there throwing everythinng they can throw is the NAACP, with their ‘white nationalist’ report, written by a couple of ‘white communists’. Here’s hoping that all Black Republicans running for Congress win and upon entering, join Michelle Bachmann’s caucus, showing the youth in their communities that there is another way.

PROGRESSIVES "PIMP" THE BLACK VOTE
heir2freedom Tuesday, October 26th at 1:22AM EDT (link)It’s actually sad that the oppressed don’t realize who the oppressor really is.
The progressives seek to enslave, not just blacks, but all races, and 92% of the African American community still votes Democrat.
This must change.
Hopefully, one of these days, liberal blacks and Hispanics will have the scales removed from their eyes and they’ll see that freedom is an unalienable gift from the Creator, and government is not the great and benevolent Oz.

SEIU and minorities
sfcmac Tuesday, October 26th at 8:27AM EDT (link)Unfortunately, there’s a ring of truth to this. Minorities have traditionally flocked to the Dems because of the endless promises of handouts, welfare, and free rides. The democratic party shamlessly exploits blacks and Hispanics, and they in turn, follow like sheeple.
The Dems sell them a defective bill of goods that they (*wink* *wink*,*nudge* *nudge*) they really care about the poor. What they created was an entitlement culture; an able-bodied but lazy segment of society that siphons off the public dole. Every developed country has them. It’s a perpetual welfare class that doesn’t work because they don’t have to. They know how to manipulate the system and they pass it to their children like a family heirloom.
No matter who you are, you need to think carefully about the groups and individuals you support for office. Look at their track record and ask yourself if they really have our best interests in mind. While you’re at it, take inventory of your own life and what you’ve done to make things better for you, your family, and this country.
When thugs like the SEIU and Marxists like Obama are placed in positions of influence and power, it’s time for a serious reassessment.
It's you who's stunning
Plumb_Bob (Diary) Tuesday, October 26th at 9:17AM EDT (link)You argue like a liberal. They’re reacting to actual field research. The research says “Group X will respond more readily.” LIBERALS tell us that if group X is a minority, the research is RAAAAAAAAAAcist. People with brains recognize valid research even if it supports some position they dislike.
It is a fact that the black community is more supportive of liberal candidates. It’s not a RACIST fact; facts don’t have political leanings, they don’t have prejudices, and they don’t play favorites. They’re just facts. If you’re smart, you deal with them. If you’re playing some dishonest intellectual game, you call people names who respond to them.
Anybody who plays “gotcha” games with race is a purveyor of a genuinely evil tactic, regardless of their political leaning. KNOCK. IT. OFF.
And don’t tell me we have to use the same tactics against them that they use against us. The way to beat the media-driven race-baiting is to expose it clearly and repeatedly, not to mimic it. The press will not play along, and we’ll just look vicious. We’re doing very, very well with making race-baiting look like the lame, anti-intellectual character assassination that it’s always been. Using the race card like a liberal will demolish that progress. Quit it.

Here's a real example of SEIU racism
sfcmac Tuesday, October 26th at 10:12AM EDT (link)The SEIU isn’t an organization that like to have its corruption questioned, especially by a minority.
In November 2009, SEIU goons attacked black conservative Kenneth Gladney for handing out Tea Party flyers and “Don’t Tread on Me” flags outside a townhall meeting in St. Louis, Missouri. While beating him, they called him “ni**er”.

The NAACP called him an “Uncle Tom”:

There’s a crapload of documented incidents of hypocritical racism on the Left.

That’s the kind of “stunning” that should be discussed.
RE: E Pluribus video: What is a hate crime, anyway?
whatsupjacques Tuesday, October 26th at 4:25PM EDT (link)When did assault become a so-called “hate crime?” What a stupid question to ask for a Fox newscaster. And what a boob lawyer to have answered. When our country can prosecute acts based on how someone FEELS or THINKS, we can kiss the republic goodbye.
The original intent
PowerToThePeople (Diary) Tuesday, October 26th at 4:43PM EDT (link)of the law was a valid one. It was originally designed to require a certain level of evidence that the crime was committed due to a dislike or a hate of a certain class of people.
Problem is, just like everything else, activist are given an inch and take a mile. Now anything can be construed as a hate crime as long as it is done towards liberals or supporters of the dems. They are even trying to make it to where a preacher who says homosexual acts are a sin can be charged with a hate crime. The perversion of the law is what is horrible and is where you are 100% correct.
How can this be racism?
petrarch Wednesday, October 27th at 11:59AM EDT (link)I mean, it’s a simple fact: Blacks ARE more persuadable of Obama’s virtue, as evidenced by poll numbers showing their much higher support levels for him.
Offering an explanation as to why that might be, may or may not be racist. But simply stating an observable fact is no more racist than to observe that black people have more melanin in their skin than do whites.
What this is, is SEIU hypocrisy and venality. But just because the left uses the race card on us all the time, doesn’t mean we should seriously use it back, except in demonstrating their utter moral bankruptcy and duplicity.
