Sally Kern's at it again

[SoonerLVZ]

Oh Sally..


Kern, R-Oklahoma City, said minorities earn less than white people and women earn less than men because they don't work as hard and have less initiative. She made the comments Wednesday night while debating for Senate Joint Resolution 15, a ballot measure that would allow the state to not abide by affirmative action guidelines.


Kern said, “Is this just because they're black that they're in prison or could it be because they didn't want to work hard in school?"
“I taught school for 20 years and I saw a lot of people of color who didn't want to work as hard,” she said, reading from notes. “They wanted it given to them.”

Sally Kern, because stupid people need representation too. Then there's Senator Ralph Shorty in the Senate.

[badger]

I've heard another interesting argument on why women make less to do the same job -- because they're considered supplemental income in the family household, whereas a dude is usually the breadwinner in the family and must make enough to support a family (or a spouse, or aging parents, etc).

It is not necessarily a bad thing to make less money doing the same job during a recession. If you truly are doing the same job and doing it just as well as your male counterparts that make more money, guess who will be considered the expendable one?

Back on affirmative action... wtf, Sally. You want voters to vote to not abide by GUIDELINES?! Not actual laws, but GUIDELINES. Gahhhh. What a waste of a ballot.

Anthony Douglas, president of the Oklahoma chapter of the NAACP, said the apology is not enough. He said Kern should resign immediately.

“You cannot commit racism and then offer an apology for the racist statement that you make,” Douglas said. “The citizens of Oklahoma, the constituents can no longer stand by and allow this type of action to happen."

You can watch a video of Kern's initial speech at that link, but it takes forever to load and spoiler alert --- she tries to ease into the remarks by quoting MLK. And I just heard her say this:

"I'm a woman, obviously, I hope it's obvious."

:rolleyes:

Anyway, if you're an iPhoney, here's the text:

State Senate Democratic Leader Andrew Rice challenged legislative Republicans on Thursday to reprimand Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, saying a failure to do so represented "tacit agreement with Kern."

[badger]

Watching it now... oh no, they gave her 10 minutes to speak...

Kern said "In fact, I had a student who said 'I don't need to study, you know why? Because the government's going to take care of me.'"

It sounds like something I would have said as a kid as a joke. as a joke. as a joke. as a joke.

She raised her voice a little when there was a noticeable gasp when she suggested that women didn't work as hard as men... then immediately clarified that they didn't commit their lives to jobs but thought about family interests more.

"This bill is about trying to make a level playing field."

"Everybody should have the opportunity to advance so long as they're willing to work hard."

"We ought to be colorblind and ought to give people a chance to become everything they want to be, but it takes sweat, it takes effort."

She spoke for nearly 9 mins. Poor state senate.

http://www.black-and-right.com/2010/03/19/the-dixiecrat-myth/


The idea that “the Dixiecrats joined the Republicans” is not quite true, as you note. But because of Strom Thurmond it is accepted as a fact. What happened is that the **next** generation (post 1965) of white southern politicians — Newt, Trent Lott, Ashcroft, Cochran, Alexander, etc — joined the GOP.

So it was really a passing of the torch as the old segregationists retired and were replaced by new young GOP guys. One particularly galling aspect to generalizations about “segregationists became GOP” is that the new GOP South was INTEGRATED for crying out loud, they accepted the Civil Rights revolution. Meanwhile, Jimmy Carter led a group of what would become “New” Democrats like Clinton and Al Gore.

Larry also suggested I contact Mike Allen, Professor of History at the University of Washington, Tacoma (who also appeared in the Reagan documentary) for input.

There weren’t many Republicans in the South prior to 1964, but that doesn’t mean the birth of the souther GOP was tied to “white racism.” That said, I am sure there were and are white racist southern GOP. No one would deny that. But it was the southern Democrats who were the party of slavery and, later, segregation. It was George Wallace, not John Tower, who stood in the southern schoolhouse door to block desegregation! The vast majority of Congressional GOP voted FOR the Civil Rights of 1964-65. The vast majority of those opposed to those acts were southern Democrats. Southern Democrats led to infamous filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The confusion arises from GOP Barry Goldwater’s vote against the ’64 act. He had voted in favor or all earlier bills and had led the integration of the Arizona Air National Guard, but he didn’t like the “private property” aspects of the ’64 law. In other words, Goldwater believed people’s private businesses and private clubs were subject only to market forces, not government mandates (“We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.”) His vote against the Civil Rights Act was because of that one provision was, to my mind, a principled mistake.

This stance is what won Goldwater the South in 1964, and no doubt many racists voted for Goldwater in the mistaken belief that he opposed Negro Civil Rights. But Goldwater was not a racist; he was a libertarian who favored both civil rights and property rights.

Switch to 1968.

Richard Nixon was also a proponent of Civil Rights; it was a CA colleague who urged Ike to appoint Warren to the Supreme Court; he was a supporter of Brown v. Board, and favored sending troops to integrate Little Rock High). Nixon saw he could develop a “Southern strategy” based on Goldwater’s inroads. He did, but Independent Democrat George Wallace carried most of the deep south in 68. By 1972, however, Wallace was shot and paralyzed, and Nixon began to tilt the south to the GOP. The old guard Democrats began to fade away while a new generation of Southern politicians became Republicans. True, Strom Thurmond switched to GOP, but most of the old timers (Fulbright, Gore, Wallace, Byrd etc etc) retired as Dems.

Why did a new generation white Southerners join the GOP? Not because they thought Republicans were racists who would return the South to segregation, but because the GOP was a “local government, small government” party in the old Jeffersonian tradition. Southerners wanted less government and the GOP was their natural home.

Jimmy Carter, a Civil Rights Democrat, briefly returned some states to the Democrat fold, but in 1980, Goldwater’s heir, Ronald Reagan, sealed this deal for the GOP. The new ”Solid South” was solid GOP.

BUT, and we must stress this: the new southern Republicans were *integrationist* Republicans who accepted the Civil Rights revolution and full integration while retaining their love of Jeffersonian limited government principles.


I disagree with the last part of this because they obviously don't care about limited government principles. The republican party is practically the same as the democrat party. You just don't like to hear that because the republican party is evil in your mind.

What I was inferring was that the south was once a dependable voting block for the democratic party. After the Civil Rights Bill was signed into law, that changed nearly overnight. Upon signing the 1964 Civil Rights legislation, legend has it that, as he put down his pen, Johnson told an aide, "We have lost the South for a generation", anticipating a coming backlash from Southern whites against Johnson's Democratic Party. As it turned out, his prediction was conservative. The Democrats may have lost the south forever.

Sure, there were some racist Democrats, who remained registered Democrats. Byrd, however, actually renounced his racist past, and apologized for ever being the radical bigot that he was. But, there were other southern Democrats (e.g. Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms), who changed their party affiliation.

I am watching the video clip now of the apology here. (http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=11&articleid=20110503_16_A1_CUTLIN720203) I'll watch it so none of you have to :)

WTF were the other 16 folks thinking?

Perhaps they didn't think that what she did warranted a reprimand, compared to what warranted a reprimand in the past... plus she apologized, so that might have made some rethink a reprimand, even if she asked for one.

Watching the apology now. She is quoting Proverbs and other biblical verses.

"While my words were not expressed well... they were not expressed with any intent of malice."

MLK quoting...

"I agree with Dr. King's words with all my heart."

Her voice is very shaky.

"My poor choice of words were hurtful and offensive to many, but I hope you remember they were just 8 minutes in part of a debate and 8 minutes do not a person make."

"I'm apologizing today because it's a biblical principle to do so."

"I want to be able to work for the Lord with a clear conscience and I know there are those who have something against me because of my words and so I am publicly apologizing..."

"I've asked the Lord to forgive me for my careless words."

I am probably missing a few words... I only wanted to watch it once. :P

[DIB]

When you do it over and over and over again, can you still call it careless words?

[TUSooner]

I am so sorry that I said exactly what I was thinking.

hmm.

I read this morning that she mentioned being a teacher for 20 years. Has anyone made sure that her former students were offered free counseling?

Here's what we can do with all those ****ty teachers folks keep talking about. Send them to state congress!

Sally is right. There are some some lazy women and minorities out there. But guess what... there are also quite a few lazy men. Some of them are neglecting your jobs and looking at the Internet right this moment. All of this has dick to do with affirmative action.

Fact is, her blanket statement is an insult to a lot of people who bust their asses every single day, especially the people she represents in her district. She deserved every bit of that reprimand.

Anyone trying to make her remarks into a First Amendment argument need to re-read the Constitution, and remind themselves that the First Amendment also gives people the freedom to react and respond to her remarks, as well as the freedom to call her the ignorant bigot she is.

That said, I've met Sally Kern and will say this for her: unlike a lot of politicians, I think she is totally sincere in what she says and believes. She may be an extremist nutjob, but I really believe for better or for worse, her heart is in the right place.

Word. Every action has a consequence. When you choose an action, you cannot also choose the consequence. You take the consequence that goes with your action.

While I really rolled my eyes at Sally-being-Sally last week, it is admirable that she gave a heartfelt apology in front of her peers yesterday.

A very good read for everyone here's who's been through college or had kids/grandkids who tell you how tough it is

Hmmmm. Great question. I have never seen the two of them at the same place at the same time. Come to think of it, I think I have heard "Climb Every Mountain," being played in the background each time I have heard either of these sanctimonious bitches speak.

[soonercruiser]

Bachman is an idiot, too. Seems to be some sort of pre-requisite these days.

I think I'll pass on moving. I'd rather stay in OK, annoy any conservatives I run into and drag OK kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

Probably love Diane Feinstein, and Nanci Peeloski????

Not particularly. I'm going to take issue with the extreme right or the extreme left if they spout stupidity.

[bigfatjerk]

I'm not sure there is a real difference between the 2 to say either is extreme from the other. They just want to pay for different things.

I'm not sure there is a real difference between the 2 to say either is extreme from the other. They just want to pay for different things.The govt. is authorized to pay for national defense, and a few other things. social engineering is NOT authorized.

Depends on what your term for national defense is. Iraq and Lybia have nothing to do with national defense.

We'll be waiting for criticism of them then.
(Holding our breath; NOT!)

"The One" is using the term "in the national interest".
That is much more broad than being a direct threat to the country.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Depends on what your term for national defense is. Iraq and Lybia have nothing to do with national defense.Iraq did, but not so much any more. Libya, not at all, other than when the Moslem Brotherhood gains control, we will be that much closer to DEEP SHI*.
