White Radio Host Calls Condoleeza Rice

11.19.04 (11:59 am) [edit]

From Yahoo News:

First, the insensitive cartoons, now this:

"MILWAUKEE - A radio talk show host drew criticism Thursday after calling Condoleezza Rice an "Aunt Jemima" and saying she isn't competent to be secretary of state.

John Sylvester, the program director and morning personality on WTDY-AM in Madison, said in a phone interview Thursday that he used the term on Wednesday's show to describe Rice and other blacks as having only a subservient role in the Bush administration."

"... Sylvester, who is white, also referred to Powell as an "Uncle Tom" — a contemptuous term for a black whose behavior toward whites is regarded as fawning or servile..."

And what does the NAACP have to say about this?

"Linda Hoskins of the NAACP's Madison branch said she could not comment on Sylvester's remarks until she had heard them in their entirety."

Why am I not surprised? Now, if Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or any other conservative commentator had referred to Maxine Waters, Carol Mosely-Braun, Eleano r Holmes Norton or any other liberal black woman with political clout as an "Aunt Jemima," can you even begin to imagine how loud and vicious the outcry would be? Mfume and Bond, along with Jesse, Al and the gang, would be screaming bloody murder, picketing and demonstrating outside of their offices, demanding their resignations and their heads (à la Zarqawi). Think back to the Rush Limbaugh-Donovan McNabb issue in the not-too-distant past, and you'll see exactly what I mean. -- Dutch Martin

Rush Limbaugh and Sean hanity make these kinds of comments all the time. There just isn't anyone out there listening to them that is will to call them on it.

Also, you have to pay them money to download their shows, so there isn't anyone who would have a record of it anyway.

Never heard of such a thing. I know if Rush or Sean EVER made a racist remark about a black LIBERAL dumocrat, male of female, the MSM would jump all over it. There would be no end of the talking LIBERAL heads and their buddies in the media giving hell to ALL republicans. (Whoops! The lefties already do that! You just proved it in your comment)
