Let's see - Jessee Jackson's wonderful "Hymietown" comment. "Rev. Jesse Jackson referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymietown" in January 1984 during a conversation with a black Washington Post reporter, Milton Coleman. Jackson had assumed the references would not be printed because of his racial bond with Coleman, but several weeks later Coleman permitted the slurs to be included far down in an article by another Post reporter on Jackson's rocky relations with American Jews" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/frenzy/jackson.htm Democratic Senator Robert Byrd, former Exalted Cyclops with the KKK, segregationist and in 2001 while talking about race relactions was quoted as saying "My old mom told me, 'Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that. There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much." Al Sharpton and the "White Interloper" At one of many rallies meant to scare the Jewish owner away, Sharpton said, "Â…There is a systematic and methodical strategy to eliminate our people from doing business off 125th Street. I want to make it clearÂ…that we will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business." (This and many other Sharpton gaffs at the link below) http://www.pitriff.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=4071&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 The Ray Nagin comment that's already been quoted. There are more but I don't have time to look for them. I did find an unverified site listing some interesting examples of celebrity racism at http://www.starmuscle.com/category/celebrity-racism/ and a supposed letter from the NAACP to CBS in the late 90's regarding Stern at http://www.west.net/~westcott/naacpmfume2.html Hatton ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:235246 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
