Bobby Jindal takes stand for history

[Vandalshandle]

Jindal lived near me in Kenner, LA about 10 years ago (population 60,000). He ran for mayor. He lost.

 

[Unkotare]

Odium, my family has lived in the South since the late 1600's. They lived first in Virginia, then Tennessee, and then Georgia. My great grandfather fought for Tennessee for 4 years. He was captured, traded, captured again, and shot in the leg in the Battle of Franklin. But, your redneck racist rants, and offensive posts, make me ashamed that our families were on the same side.

Your ass is now on "ignore"

^ SUPPOSEDLY is from the south but hates it so much he lives in North Mexico Kiss my ass traitor.

You're hardly in a position to call anyone a traitor.

 

[Unkotare]

Bobby Jindal wanted to join the democratic party, but we have our standards, especially when it comes to anyone who wants to run for office, and frankly, Jindal didn't make the cut.

Yeah, the democrat party is, and has always been, racist as hell.

Racism isn't a political philosophy, Dumbass.

 

[Vandalshandle]

The monument of the Battle of Liberty Place is one of the monuments that Jindal wants to save. it's inscription reads:

"[Democrats] McEnery and Penny having been elected governor and lieutenant-governor by the white people, were duly installed by this overthrow of carpetbag government, ousting the usurpers, Governor Kellogg (white) and Lieutenant-Governor Antoine (colored).
United States troops took over the state government and reinstated the usurpers but the national election of November 1876 recognized white supremacy in the South and gave us our state."

Basically, it was an insurrection against the federal government, years after the end of the civil War.

Just a coincidence, I suppose...

I agree. There has been plenty of racism on both sides.

Here is Joe Biden's racist remarks about Indians:



Even Chuck Schumer has initiated some measures in the senate that stirred up anti Indian sentiments.

 

[BULLDOG]

Republican party tends to pander to nutcases who love to fly confederate flag. .....

Despite the fact that it was the Republican Party that crushed the confederate dogs, the Republican party that ended slavery, the Republican party that first championed civil rights, and a Republican governor who took down the confederate flag? Don't let the far-left media define American politics for you.

The Republicans who crushed the confederates, the Republicans that ended slavery, and the Republicans who took down the confederate flag all earned a place of honor for their courage. Unfortunately, a very large faction of the Republican party, because of a continuous stream of false accusations and an obvious desire to further their own party, even at the expense of the country, will never be worthy to share that honor.

 

[BULLDOG]

Nikki Haley sacrificed her future political career on the altar of political correctness. That has to be worth something.

She did not do it for political correctness. She did it for her soul and just as importantly, she did for the unity of this country.

She did it to protect South Carolina from the strong-arm tactics of the democrats who are dividing this country.

At least you realize who is in charge.

Did you bother to listen to the clip? Or are you going by somebody's YouTube title?
Because there's no reference to racism in there at all. Doesn't exist.

Anyway, as just noted to one of the denser wags, racism, when it does exist, is not a political philosophy anyway, but a personal one.

She did it because she couldn't look the families of the dead in the eye if she continued to fly that flag

The person who pulled down that flag was Dylann Roof

LOL this the first time I have seen an actual moron claim the flag did the killing. LMAO..wow or it was a reason for it..LOL....wow.

The killer celebrated the flag as supporting his views

The Virginia Army battle flag doesn't represent murdering 9 people. Period. By that standard we need to ban all Gold's Gym shirts and close all Gold's Gyms.

For the large majority of citizens it represents racism. You lose.

Yes, I have listened to it. It was in the news when Joe Biden first uttered those words. It is an old incident now. He even apologized for it. Besides Indian Americans are not known for holding grudges.

And his apologizing had far more to do with my current sigline than with anything in the clip, because there's no reference to racism in there at all. I've seen this clip before, trotted out as a cum hoc fallacy by partisan hacks trying to pin a tale on all donkeys. Then I point out that the content of their clip doesn't contain any of what they imagine it does. (Then they run away)

First of all it's a grammatical train wreck. Obviously you don't need an Indian accent, or any kind of accent, to walk into a store. He tried to allude to the store keepers and reversed the roles. Second, it refers to language ("accent") which has nothing to do with anyone's race. It's stupidly phrased too -- "Indian accent", as if there is only one Third, since racism requires a value judgment ("all Indians/blacks/Chinese/etc are inferior because X, Y, Z") it completely fails to qualify. However clumsily, the speaker's trying to boast of a large Indian contingent in his state. Noting that they're frequently seen in Dunkin Donuts makes no value judgment on anybody's race. It merely notes that they exist. There's nothing "racist" about noting that some race or ethnic group exists. Existence isn't subject to opinion.

It's part of the dumb-down hyper-PC knuckledragger mentality bullshit that attempts to imagine that making a reference to the presence of a race --- is the same thing as making value judgments about that race.

Biden would need to apologise for an atrocious assault on the English language, but that's about it.

I found Joe Biden's remarks quite offensive and I was not alone on that. Did you not hear him doing fake Indian accent in that video? That was very rude. On top of that he was alluding that pretty much all Indians work at Dunkin Donuts or 7-11. This feeds into the stereo type. Actually, there was a poster here on this very board who attacked me because I objected to his anti-Muslim hate posts. He was trying to get me angry by saying that I worked at a 7-11. Racist people in the U.S. use references to 7-11 and Dunkin Donuts to put down Indians.

No, I heard nothing like that, and language accents have nothing to do with race anyway. Accents are a product of linguistic upbringing.

And again, working at a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts (or anywhere) makes no comment about one's race. To the extent there's a pattern there (Arab taxi drivers, Hispanic chambermaids etc) it would have to do with cultural connections -- 2015 immigrant from Country X arrives, the 2014 and 2013 immigrants hook him up with a job. Nothing "racial" about that process, and nothing about it indicates that said ethnic group would be limited to those jobs.

Nor did Biden. Right from the beginning of the clip he's clearly bragging on his state's growing Indian population; and saying it to an Indian. Now why would he be doing that if his intent was the opposite?

But here's the real test:
In the clip itself, the guy he's talking to --- isn't "offended" at all. He gets the meaning. He's smiling back. This is yet another case of Revisionistas trying to manipulate and morph the news into something it isn't. This is PC manipulation bullshit, and it's easily disproven by simply listening to the content.

Just out of curiosity on your earlier note about "why aren't there more Democratic Indians in politics, I looked up the Wiki page of Indian-Americans in any kind of politics. Scanning down the list as far as those whose political parties were noted, outside of the red state governors already mentioned I found 14 of them to be Democrats, 2 Republicans, and a Socialist. One of the Republicans was in Orange County California -- again, a red zone.

Does 14-2 surprise you?

I along with many other Indians and Indian Americans found that remark offensive. I personally do not think that he was trying to be too mean or cruel to Indian Americans. Sometimes we end up saying things that do not do justice to our intention. This may have been that case. I will leave it at that.

As far as your list is concerned, it may not be very credible because it listed Sashi Tharoor who has nothing to do with the US. But yes, 14-2 in favor Democratic party is surprising.

"Senator Biden will be surprised to hear that I am a cardiothoracic surgeon, leading a national association of Indian Americans who are physicians, attorneys, and small business owners.” Vijayanagar said in a statement issued then. “It's amazing to know we don't all work at Dunkin Donuts or the local 7-Eleven.”

“The contributions to America by Indian Americans in the fields of medicine, education, science, and business have been well-documented,” he said. “We're not asking Senator Biden to apologize for his embarrassing, stereotypical comments. However, we do appreciate knowing what he really thinks of his Indian-American constituents in Delaware.”

“Senator Biden will be really shocked that there will be another Indian-American in Congress,” said Raj Bhakta, who at the time was running for a U.S. House seat from Pennsylvania as a Republican. “I will be sure to stop by his office when I get there. I would not be bringing coffee.”
