Racism rears its ugly head over at CNN, where some obviously very white guy named Roland S. Martin is advocating that President Barack Obama go 'gangsta' on Republicans:
Obama's critics keep blasting him for Chicago-style politics. So, fine. Channel your inner Al Capone and go gangsta against your foes. Let 'em know that if they aren't with you, they are against you, and will pay the price.
Al Capone was a rapper? Who knew?
Anyway, the obviously very white Roland S. Martin is clearly using racist code words here, because as we all know, only African-Americans, black people and negroes can be 'gangstas'. White people are never 'gangsta'. Period. You may think I'm going out on a limb here, but think about it... Know any white guys who really are 'gangsta'?
I mean, other than John Boehner.
If the best you can do is either Vanilla Ice or that Slim Shady guy (who's real name is Marshall Mathers, for God's sake - Doofus City on that one, eh?), then my point is proven. With the exception of Boehner, there simply is no such thing as a really white 'gangsta'. And if you don't believe me, turn on VH1 or BET.
Just the other day African-Americans, black people and negroes were pointing out that Sarah Palin calling Barack Obama a professor was pretty much your textbook example of evil Republicans using racist code words. And you know what? They had a point. I don't know what that point was, exactly, but they had one. So I think it's time to call out this Roland S. Martin guy for what he is... Your basic very white bigot.
Note: Oh sure, CNN's got a picture up of a negro claiming that he's Roland S. Martin, but I think we all see through that shabby ploy. Ask yourself this: Have you ever met a non-white person that was named Roland?
I rest my case.
The guy in that picture is probably named Hakeem or Tupac or something. Remember: Racism is everywhere.
So... he wants Barack Obama to get stoned off his ass and get shot in a sleazy club?
If he means get tough with us, lil Obie already tried that. He couldn't buy enough goons.

I've been wondering about something. The people who claim these are dog whistle code words apparently are the only ones who can hear the whistle. Does that make them racists with really good hearing?
With advice like this who needs enemies. "Mr. President you need republican support to pass your agenda, now go slap them around a bit."

Dan-
That's what he claims his name is. Where's the proof?
Have you seen his birth certificate?

Not really. I just want to bear Andrew Sullivan's child is all.

Wait a minute. Dennis isn't the 12th Iman? Holy shit, wait til Al Sistani hears about this!

John Boehner the gangsta - that is fabulous imagery. It totally shreds whatever facade that faker finds convenient today.
