These guys just literally cannot help themselves. I'm beginning to believe there's a racism gene that cannot be resisted. Note all the standard signifiers: I'm not a racist, I apologize if anyone was offended, this wasn't meant to be public, etc., etc. Extra lols, however, for the judge's deer-in-headlights head shot, which appears to be what he uses professionally.

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-montana-judge-admits-sending-racist-email-about-obama-20120229,0,2617317.story

Montana’s chief federal judge Wednesday admitted forwarding an email to friends about President Obama that appears to equate African Americans with dogs and raises questions about the president’s mixed racial ancestry.

“Normally I don’t send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine,” Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull wrote before forwarding the email, a copy of which was obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

The email was sent from the judge’s court email account and immediately ignited a firestorm in Montana, where there were calls on social media sites for his resignation.

. . . Cebull, who has been Montana’s chief federal judge in Billings since 2008, was appointed to the bench by former President George W. Bush and took his seat in 2001. He is a graduate of the University of Montana School of Law and a former tribal court judge.

The Great Falls Tribune, which initially obtained the email and interviewed Cebull about it, said the judge conceded the content was racist but insisted he had forwarded it to six “old buddies” and acquaintances because he doesn’t like Obama. He said he doesn’t consider himself a racist.

“It was not intended by me in any way to become public,” Cebull told the Tribune. “I apologize to anybody who is offended by it, and I can obviously understand why people would be offended.”

In the email, a boy asks his mother why he is black and she is white. “His mother replied, 'Don’t even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you’re lucky you don’t bark!' "

“The only reason I can explain to you is I am not a fan of our president, but this goes beyond not being a fan,” Cebull told the Tribune. “I didn’t send it as a racist, although that’s what it is. I sent it out because it’s anti-Obama.”

Cebull said he was “surprised” it had been passed along with his name attached to it, the newspaper said.

If we could have avis here, that picture would be mine.

“I didn’t send it as a racist, although that’s what it is. I sent it out because it’s anti-Obama.”

unbelievable

by which I mean all to believable and super disheartening

Are there any racists who would identify themselves as racists anymore?

i mean 'miscegenation is bestiality' is a particularly disgusting and virulent racist metaphor, but hey, you just don't like the president, that's all, so it's just a bit of a chuckle, right? heh heh

yeah that's the thing. i feel like there are even klansmen at this point who are all "woah woah i'm not a racist, i believe in the SEPARATION of races, not the superiority of one race over another"

damn shame how racism just isn't cool these days
maybe WE are the prejudiced ones, makes u think

i have been to a genghis grill on more than one occasion for lunch and it is just never good

the trick is since you picked all the shit out yourself you just end up blaming yourself if you don't like it

Is that the place where they just give you a plastic bowl and tell you to go wild?

the bowls are in fact metal but yes

its p mesmerizing to see dudes slapping half a dozen piles of food around with sticks.

came here to see if the content of the e-mail had been posted. ILX does not disappoint

I just can't get enough of this.

He actually looks as if he's thinking, "Is this racist?"

alternately: "I just thought it was funny, y'know?"

I remembered it with thick plastic bowls that had been scarred from thousands of fork tines hitting and scraping the insides of them. (Materials may vary according to location?)

It was weird. I'm so used to seeing such proud buffet patrons piling and piling slop upon their plates, and here they were, filling their bowls like some monks do in the mornings before their fast. Except in this case, they likely didn't stop eating at noon and even more likely, went next door to the CiCi's Pizza Buffet when they were done with Ghengis & Co.

it's cool how federal judges are, you know, appointed for life

"Can't a guy compare miscegenation with bestiality without taking a ration of shit over it anymore? What happened to this country?"

Couldn't any person of a mixed-race heritage appeal to have his trial moved if he happens to get that judge? Like, "I'd rather not since there has been evidence that the judge feels I'm sub-human."

Perhaps this was me as I just typed that post.

It's hard to imagine a more facepalm-inducing job than being the director of something like the Montana human rights network.

The judge is not required to like the President but what comic insight is there in insinuating that Obama was conceived in a gangbang that included bestiality? I agree this is racist but even worse, if possible, is the fact-free conflation of a romance that led to marriage with dog fucking w/o any reference to anything about the President's character, policies, connections, etc... It's not only visiting the (completely non-existent) sins of the mother, a gross and unwarranted calumny, on the child but also calling a dog (equally non-existent) a bad name to kick it.

Aren't judges supposed to have a modicum judgment?

i did not know there were mexican uncle toms

house asians

it's pretty unfortunate that the "hard work = success!" line of rhetoric is firmly on the republican party's side

I also don't understand why according to the chart a non white person who doesn't like him is an Uncle Tom but a non white person who liked him but doesn't like him anymore, or who likes him but isn't voting for him, is racist.

because its more idiotic than it is racist (and its p racist)

yeah, plus the chart pretty much ignores the fact that there has been a lot of genuine racism, both blatant and thinly veiled, in the criticism of Obama.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out the bitter brew of fear, ignorance and anger that generates such stuff. Somewhere in that person's mind is the idea that white racism has been used as a cudgel to beat him with, unfairly, and the twin sources of that beating (blacks and liberals) are personified in Obama, who now stands at the apex of his white oppression.

I still live in hope that some day Americans will figure out how class operates.

You for real have never heard of Tio Taco?

daaaaaaaaaaaamn

Rosanna Pulido is our local Mexican Uncle Tom. She is of Mexican descent and she was the director of the Illinois Minutemen. She has said some pretty racist and outrageous stuff about "illegals" (and about Muslims and others).

Such as: I lived in Mexico for a year as a missionary. I was ripped off the worst by the Bible students. It is so cultural to rip people off they do not see that it is wrong. It’s culture. and The TRUTH is, Obama will legalize 12-20 million ILLEGAL ALIENS, and THUS SELL THE BLACKS, His own Race BACK into slavery!

The Illegals coming over pretty much hate African Americans.

He is going to unleash REAL racism upon his own people as they fight for jobs with the illegal aliens.
