Rudy Giuliani: Electing Obama has 'taken us back 40 or 50 years on race relations'

This leaky headed geriatric piece of shit can go fuck himself

"Things were fine before minorities started being able to express themselves without pushback." - old white guys

What he meant to say was that Republicans would have continued to pretend to not be racist and stuck to their wink wink dog whistles, but electing a black man president drove them so insane that they regressed 50 years and returned to being openly racist.

Electing Obama Trump has 'taken us back 40 or 50 years on race relations'

fixed that for ya, Rudy

That's a funny way to say you hate black people, Rudy.

What in the demented word salad hell did I just read?

These cunts really lost their shit when we elected a black guy.

Yeah, because all those tiki torch marches happened under Obama? Hmmm... good people on both sides? Well all the Black Lives Matters protests... no? Not Obama either?

Does he think Obama is still the president?

I think it’s time we send Rudy to live on a farm upstate.

Even from a right/conservative view of things this makes no sense. Obama was a fucking legal scholar. He'd learned CRT in the context of law and brought it to bear not at all in a social context.

Conservatism = Racism

Maybe it took Guiliani back 40 years. He was at about 1920 before but he seems closer to 1880 now.

Can he fall down an escalator already? Fucksake.

He's as much a history buff as a computer security expert

This feels like an onion article

Yeah, because all the creepy weirdos on the right absolutely FREAKED OUT that a "Kenyan usurper" was selected by We, The People to run the country.

Remember how ecstatic all these freaks were when OJ won just the EC? The memes of showing how OJ - King of the Birthers - was eclipsing Obama?

I'm sure none of those feelz from the right had anything to do with racism.

“We would have all stayed under our rocks if YOU hadn’t forced us to freak out by electing a black guy”.

The right-wing reactionary response to Obama's election set race relations back.

So his racisism is Obama's fault.

Why does Rudy think he has an opinion worth listening to on this matter?

Or anything else, really.

Hey Rawstory, less reporting on what they say, more reporting on what they did, thanks.

Wait...it was just about ten years ago that they were saying racism was over because we had a Black president. Make up your mind, Rudolph.

Translation: when we elected Obama it upset the racists so badly they had a great big meltdown about it

So elected Obama made fun of Trump. It made him flip and get into the race. That put him in a position to become a president which fucked up the race relations. So yeah, checkmate.

Thanks Obama!

The race relations Rudy is talking about is MAGA related and means segregation returns. We moved away from that. Magats don't like that.

Well, his idea of "race relation" is going back to colored people in chains and white people with whips. Getting 40 or 50 years away from that is a good thing.

Bro - you married your cousin. Shut the fuck up about “relations” of any kind.

"Trump gets into I think a psychological illness they have about Trump," he said. "Trump derangement syndrome is real — so obsessive."

The only people who suffer from TDS worse than the far left liberals who froth at the mouth at the mere mention of his name ...are his supporters.

"We wouldn't have any racism if blacks just stayed in their place!" /S

Wait wait - stay with me - he's right. Because electing Obama caused people like him to be more overtly racist.

I wonder why Republicans think that Democrats and Leftists have "Trump Derangement Syndrome" but no other Republican president ever received that degree of ire.

i think Rudi is owned by a bunch of Russians, and he speaks for them and for other losers like them

What the ever living fuck.

Well.. the conservatives used be "Staunch Democrats.." until the Nixon thing... I think every American knows that racism, and racists, severely flared-up when they felt like they had a kindred representative in Trump.

Are they paying this freak for this one on one?

Adolph Reed Jr has probably the best response to Obama from the left, a black political scientist himself who was still alive when Jim Crow laws were in effect in New Orleans and lived through the aftermath and written countless books on things like race relations and black politics. This was published in 1996:

“In Chicago, for instance, we’ve gotten a foretaste of the new breed of foundation-hatched black communitarian voices; one of them, a smooth Harvard lawyer with impeccable do-good credentials and vacuous-to-repressive neoliberal politics, has won a state senate seat on a base mainly in the liberal foundation and development worlds. His fundamentally bootstrap line was softened by a patina of the rhetoric of authentic community, talk about meeting in kitchens, small-scale solutions to social problems, and the predictable elevation of process over program — the point where identity politics converges with old-fashioned middle-class reform in favoring form over substance. I suspect that his ilk is the wave of the future in U.S. black politics, as in Haiti and wherever else the International Monetary Fund has sway. So far the black activist response hasn’t been up to the challenge. We have to do better.”

I actually agree with him to an extent, I can agree with his thesis statement but not his conclusion.

See he believes that black men are inherently inferior and Obama proved this by being a terrible leader and an alleged racebaiter.

I believe that Obama was a pretty average leader all things considered, but his election did indeed bring race relations back a few decades.

See all the bigots were quier because they knew everyone was equal on paper, but there was a silent "off the record" agreement that the "lesser races" wouldn't venture too far out of their reign...

A nonwhite entering the highest office in the allegedly free world, and one with a blatantly nonwhite sounding name was a "violation of the silent agreement" and thus the bigots no longer "kept their end of the bargain" and in doing so indulged in their prejudices.
