MSNBC’s Touré: Romney Engaging In The ‘Niggerization’ Of Obama

The Brutha wif de Mouf

On Thursday’s edition of MSNBC’s The Cycle the group discussed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney‘s assertion that President Obama should “take [his] campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago.” Co-host Touré saw what he believes to be explicit racial connotations beneath what Romney was saying, calling it the “niggerization” of the campaign.

“That really bothered me,” he said. “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.”

“I know it’s a heavy thing, I don’t say it lightly, but this is ‘niggerization,’” Touré said to the apparent shock of his co-panelists. “You are not one of us, you are like the scary black man who we’ve been trained to fear.”

Naturally this led to a battle between Touré and conservative co-host S.E. Cupp. She took particular issue with the fact that Touré admitted that VP Joe Biden‘s “chains” comments were divisive, but is now calling Romney a “racist” for saying the Obama campaign is “angry.”

“Do you see how dishonest that is?” she asked.

Touré denied calling anyone a racist, which prompted Cupp to say, “Certainly you were implying that Mitt Romney and the base will respond to this dog-whistle, racially-charged coding, and hate Obama, the angry black man?”

“Absolutely,” he replied.

“That’s so irresponsible,” Cupp answered back.

“This is not a revolutionary comment,” Touré later said. “This is a constituency all-white party that rejects the black vote.”

“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?”

“That’s not what Touré is saying,” co-host Krystal Ball interjected. “You’re twisting his words.”

“No, he can speak for himself,” Cupp shot back.

“He’s using the playbook Republicans have been using for decades now,” Touré concluded.

    This reminded me of some years back when some political person used the word NIGGARDLY in a speech and the idiots who have no understanding of what words mean (aided by those who know how to TWIST WORDS) used that to attack the person who used the word – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_about_the_word_%22niggardly%22

    The Media really went wild with this as did the RACE HUSTLERS – depending upon the ignorance of the majority of people. Then the rappers – BLACK RAPPERS began to use the word NIGGER and they were free to do so but if a WHITE person used the word NIGGER they were condemned. Why is a word permissible to some and not others? Does the MEANING change if it is used by BLACK or WHITE persons?
    “In the United States, there have been several controversies concerning the word “niggardly,” an adjective meaning “stingy” or “miserly,” due to its phonetic similarity to the racial slur “nigger.” The two words are etymologically unrelated.”

    Now we have this guy below using the word NIGGERIZATION to discredit a White person.
    niggerization
    The process through which new expressions resulting from the bastardization of the (English) language in the hands of the guetto crowd (typically rap/hip-hop “artists” and/or their wannabes, and black criminals, as depicted by Hollywood TV and movies). These expressions often enter the vernacular as a joke but, out of sheer repetition, they often end up being incorporated to the language and crowding out the original, proper expressions.

    This is all part and parcel of the goal to keep RACE as a major issue while saying we are to be colorblind. Kind of hard to be color blind when one segment keeps pushing their DARK AGENDA in our faces.

    The only time COLOR should enter into this is when we see the COLOR of anothers HEART – including our own. A pure heart is transparent with no *color* – a DARK heart is one filled with anger and demons.
