Everything is officially racist

Some Republican Southern governors are planning on not accepting stimulus bill money, remaining true to their conservative principles. They have said they’re worried about restrictions and “strings” the Federal government would impose are unacceptable to the sovereign States. (Washington Times)

Republican governors Mark Sanford of South Carolina, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Rick Perry of Texas expressed reservations this week about accepting their states’ shares of the stimulus package because they are worried that the federal government will impose conditions on how it can be spent.

As a self-styled staunch conservative, Mr. Sanford, the new head of the Republican Governors Association, aggressively opposed the stimulus plan. However, in a Thursday morning interview on CBS’ “The Early Show,” Mr. Sanford said his state would accept money from the stimulus bill. Opposing the plan “doesn’t preclude taking the money,” said Mr. Sanford.

Well, like everything else in the past month, not excepting the money from the federal government would be considered racist and a “slap in the face” to Black America according to Jim Clynurn, congressman from South Carolina (Fox News);

The highest-ranking black congressman says opposition to the federal stimulus package by southern governors is “a slap in the face of African-Americans.”

Democratic Congressman Jim Clyburn of South Carolina said Thursday he was insulted when the GOP governors of several states said they might not accept some of the money from the $787 billion stimulus package.

How silly is that? And how racist is it to insinuate that these funds are targeted to help Black Americans? Are the only people who’ve lost their jobs and their homes Black? Is Obama just the President of Black America? Is all of his legislation just to benefit Blacks?

Of course, if you google Clyburn, you’ll find everything that he says is somehow an indictment of someone being a racist somewhere. Just another race pimp.
