Earlier today Alan wrote about Tim Scott’s victory in South Carolina and the implications on the Congressional makeup post 2010. Also in South Carolina, Nikki Haley, who is of Indian descent, easily won her primary. How does the AP choose to cover the news? With a story that begins (emphasis mine):
In a break from the state’s racist legacy, South Carolina Republicans overwhelmingly chose Nikki Haley, an Indian-American woman, to run for governor and easily nominated Tim Scott, in line to become the former Confederate stronghold’s first black GOP congressman in more than a century.
As Katheryn Jean Lopez says over at the Corner: “Next time let us know what your really think about the south.” Once again I’m tempted to express shock at the level of bias displayed by our national media but really who is shocked at this point? Apparently only small percentage of the population.
Authors Liz Sidoti and Jim Davenport should be ashamed of themselves. Do they start stories about German Chancellor Merkel with “in a break from her anti-semitic past” and “former Nazi stronghold”? I am reminded of that old ‘joke’ where someone asks a man “So, have you stopped beating your wife?” What response is there to give?
The sad truth is that Sidoti and Davenport probably don’t even see themselves as biased. Which makes me wonder if I should be angry with them or just pity them.

“James Cloninger, I’ve lived in New York. Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. And if you think that New York is shittier than South Carolina, you are out of your freaking mind.”
Thanks for the endoresment. Now dont you have a hole to attend somewheres?
AP and Racism? They are without a doubt the most bi racial un biggoted anti American jihad ever to chance the airwaves.
Figurine that one out Lee a tard.
Wow, Hyper, why didn’t you tell me that a bartender from South Carolina once told you about the south. If I’d known you had been granted audience with the world’s foremost authority I would have gladly accepted my role as a 13 year old white bitch who had never enslaved anyone and deserved to be threatened with rape by a 19 year old who had never been enslaved by anyone.
Thanx for making it all clear for me, asshole.
By the way, Hyper, I looked up those ‘Dixiecrats’ – precisely ONE of the ones voting against the civil rights act switched away from democrat. One.
Stuff it where the sun doesn’t shine with your false narratives.
Hyper has fully embraced the “white privilege” bullshit so popular in Canada and on campuses here in the US.
If you want to see the indoctrination the fool has fallen for, check out this link.
He probably taught one of the seminars.

All of the white people sitting around the bar nodded sagely as he told me this.
In Hilton Head? The place where all of the Yankees go for vacation? The “white people” in that bar were probably mostly from New York and Boston.
I live in Orlando, and the very worst and most vocal bigots are from New York and New Jersey…
I call us Indians, Hyper. My family I call Kiowa.
Cirby,
I see your NJ and raise you Boston and Rhode Island.
“You mean, the gaping maw of nonsensical conservative talking points? Yes, I’m attending it right now, thank you very much.”
It would only be nonsensical to a mind numb lib Obama ass kissin bot.
Hyper,
Did you know that there is large migration of Blacks from the North back to the south?
Did you also know that the states like NY,NJ, CT MA are depopulating and moving to the South?
Also since I am black and what often feel we have experience they do not understand let me let you in on a little secret.
Many blacks left the south and thought that their be no racism in the promise land. Once their they found racism and discrimination only it was covert rather than overt and many white friend would be polite but make sure to stab you in the back.
The south is no more racist these days than the north in fact having lived in both places as black man I tell you the south has less problems. You have fight in the south it a fight. In the north they always want to let you know which races were involved.
