Stupid, dirty girl

2004-07-09

Black civil-rights activists canceled plans for a protest after discovering a child insulted by California Education Secretary Richard Riordan was not African-American as originally believed, but a blonde, white girl. In an incident captured on video, Riordan, the former Los Angeles mayor, stunned participants in a promotional event July 1 at the Santa Barbara library by jokingly telling a 6-year-old her name, Isis, meant "stupid dirty girl."

Ummm... Richard? Isis was an Egyptian goddess. Does Riordan mean "stupid ignorant man"?

Alice Huffman, president of the California chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said Thursday that Riordan "is not suitable to lead education in our state" and should be removed. Democratic state Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally called on Riordan to step down, telling the San Jose Mercury News the child was a "little African-American girl." "Would he (Riordan) have done that to a white girl?" Dymally asked.

Apparently he did...

But the lawmaker reversed himself and canceled a planned civil-rights demonstration after finding out the girl is white.

"Never mind."

#5 the naacp - julian bond, kwame mfuse - two of the most over the top bomb-throwing hacks I've ever seen - and they are the top two guys in their org. Simply pathetic. They talk a lot of sh&t but I bet the Bushman could take'em both.

#4 Oh THAT (I can't help but step on my dick,) Dick Riordan. Hell the race baiters are always inconsistant, what do you expect from them?

#3 Lol! What a scream! So it just popped the outrage bubble when it couldn't be cast as a racial slur? Is there no shame left in the professional line-drawing race-baiting NAACP bigots? How pathetic and pandering. Once I believe they served a purpose and a constituency. Now they only serve themselves and their actions are a disservice to the rest of us. Sad.

Back O/T, it doesn't matter what color the kid is, the Riordan guy's an oaf and a blockhead! The child's father ought to get one free shot at this clown's jaw. That's what I'd be interested in doing if it was my daughter. Some activist judge will prolly order him to keep 1000 ft from children.

#2 uh...no. I have NO idea why Riordan said that, even as a joke, it's not fathomable. The hypocrisy of the blacks when they found out he'd insulted a blonde white girl is telling.....:-)
