Racist Reality … Fixed!
Reality is racist. Just so you know.
Recently, the president gave a speech before the Congressional Black Caucus, and, as he is wont to do, he slipped into his “Hey-I’m-Black-Too” dialect. And, the Associated Press reported the actual words he used, as he used them:
Stop complainin’. Stop grumblin’. Stop cryin’.
And, for reporting what happened, the AP was accused of being racist by Karen Hunter on MSNBC:
Hunter called the AP’s version “inherently racist,” sparring with New Republic contributing editor and noted linguistics expert John McWhorter, who argued the g-less version “is actually the correct one,” noting that the president’s victory in the 2008 election was due, in part, to how effortlessly “he can switch into that [black] dialect.”
To follow Hunter’s demands to their conclusion, as Jeff Goldstein put it:
…they are now charged with re-writing history to protect the speaker from himself, lest they be charged with transcribing reality, once considered the most neutral of all activities (at least in intent and aim), an activity that now carries with it the charge of “inherent racism” if the reality being transcribed belongs to blacks, and non-blacks or inauthentic blacks are doing the transcribing.Presumably, Ms Hunter, if pressed, might have to extend the argument to audio clips that capture the dropping of the g’s — themselves a secondhand recording of reality that have not been “corrected” of their “inherent racism.”
So, now that we know that reality is racist and we must protect ourselves from it, we present the video of the president’s actual words, not as said, but as they must be to remove the charge of racism:
Liberals have been living outside reality for a long, long time. Now, they want us to live outside it, too.

I might be becoming a racist. For the first time in my life, I really want to see a certain black person get lynched.

I’ve noticed that the media elite and democrats tar and feather while folks who question this president’s record as ‘racists’. If that is the stick by which we’re to be measured, then I suppose I have no choice to vote for the black guy in the race. Come On Herman CAIN!!!

Wait, what? Herman Cain is black?

What? Does nobody remember the, “Go get Cousin Pookie!” line Obama gave during the VA Governor’s race?
I swear, you can’t make this stuff up. After a while, I can’t tell if this is funny or just sad. Then again I don’t really blame Obama: would you put any effort into not being a complete douche if you could still be a douche and still have people blindly, venomously defend you?

It ain’t nuthin but a G thang!

These clowns have been trying to rewrite history for years. The last one left when democracy tanks, please turn out the lights. Thanks.

Imagine him at a Jewish forum such as AIPAC talking like Jackie Mason a letting loose a few “Oy Veh’s!”

What else is the press supposed to correct? Sentences ending prepositions? Split infinitives? Corpse-man? 57 states?…etc.
Perhaps they should just publish what the staffer wrote for the teleprompter. After all, that’s what Obama was supposed to say before he screwed it up.

We would all be better off if the Basil’s Official Obama Speech Corrector was on full time. It would make more sense.

Of course they want us to live outside reality other wise well never accept their policies.

Not much new here. We’ve known for years that reporting facts about Obama is to lay oneself open to charges of racism.
Please move along to your local re-education center.

Obama did go to a church where the only hymn they sang was Amazin’ Race.

So, the lesson is: In order to attract blacks, you must purposely speak incorrectly. Got it.

No worries, I reported reality to Attack Watch! the very first day. Y’know, ’cause reality makes Obama look like a SCOAMF ‘n’ all. (Please read the colloquialisms as corrected or not corrected, as appropriate for your ethnic and cultural group.)

Been in the south too long. I thought that the “g” at the end was silent.

Is it just black people that Obama does this with or does he also convert Ls to Rs with the Chinese and insert Ys willy nilly for Russians and ignore double Ts with the English?
Does anyone know if Cain varies his speech patterns with blacks vs. non-blacks?
