Obama is also not addressing the “enormous amount of crime” that’s being committed by African-Americans due to “historical” reasons, Giuliani said.

“I hate to mention it because of what happened afterwards, but (he should be saying) the kinds of stuff Bill Cosby used to say,” said Giuliani.

Cosby, before his public image was tarnished with a slew of rape allegations, had spoken frequently and often in blunt terms about how African-Americans needed to focus more on education, be better parents and avoid lives of crime.

Giuliani, who was roundly criticized for saying Obama wasn’t patriotic, made a point of saying a few nice things about the President.

I can't believe this guy was mayor of NY for so long. Once he stopped caring about PR and settled into being a professional speaker or whatever he has really said some off the wall shit.

 

[Nairume]

So Giuliani wants the president to be a serial rapist?

 

[Angry Grimace]

I just assume he's still popular because he probably starts and ends every speech with "I was mayor of New York City during 9-11."

 

[Savitar]

So he wants the old public perception of a funny harmless black man?

Before he was known to be a creepy possibly molesting if not rapey black man?

And entirely not president of course.

 

[Angelus Errare]

What about White on White violence?

 

[bob_arctor]

Rudy was always a piece of shit. Fuck him.

 

[Slayven]

This motherfucker, go back to fraud insurance.

 

[richiek]

What, no mention of 9/11, Rudy?

 

[bengraven]

"Hey guys, I just happened to be mayor during the worst terrorist attack on US soil, which makes me an automatic hero despite that some other mayor may or may not have done better in handling the situation but we'll never know, and how come you're giving me shit? I'm a fucking American hero by DEFAULT, assholes!"

 

[CrimzonSamurai]

I just assume he's still popular because he probably starts and ends every speech with "I was mayor of New York City during 9-11."

Now I'm getting so many flashbacks from the 2004 Republican National Convention.

 

[injurai]

read: "I need Obama to remind black people what I wish I could constantly remind them."

Obama has hundreds of things he has to balance, just because he isn't the foreman at every round table does not mean he is shirking responsibilities. If Rudy cares so much about the education of those who are underrepresented, maybe he should create a platform around it.

 

[spindashing]

Fuck Rudy Giuliani.

 

[etrain911]

My dad says that black people should try to be "more like Barack Obama and Bill Cosby". I wonder what will happen when Obama listens to Rudy "the only reason I have a semblance of a political career is because I was in office when 9/11 happened" Giuliani's ridiculous and racist opinions. Maybe my dad's head will explode.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

It takes a special level of crazy

 

[crowphoenix]

I approve of that black man. All black men should be like the black man I like. Racism would not be a problem if all black men were like the black man I like.

 

[BFIB]

Has this guy been tested for dimentia yet?

 

[kmax]

Rude Gullible should learn to keep his mouth shut.

 

[HK-47]

Holy shit, Rudy are you ok? You didnt mention 9/11. Someone get a doctor!

 

[Corpekata]

He wants Obama to be another of racist white people's "he's one the good ones!" it seems.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Obama should say stuff like "Zippity Zop" during speeches.

 

[plantedunicorn]

Black on Black crime? Are republicans ever gonna get tired of trotting out this stupid talking point. It's always black on black crime that's the problem not anything else.

And just go away Guiliani, no one wants to hear your shit anymorre.

 

[Raistlin]

Way to not discuss his actual point and instead point and laugh at how shitty of a sound bite the quote is.

Silly gaf.

 

[etrain911]

Obama should say stuff like "Zippity Zop" during speeches.

I would pay a million dollars to hear Obama casually shout "Jello Puddin' Pops" while talking about the Iran negotiations.

 

[marrec]

I've often thought that Obama should be more evasive and rapey.

 

[PopeReal]

What about White on White violence?

White people are allowed to commit violence without representing their race.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Rudy Giuliani: "Please give me attention"

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Yes, a president should be more like a television comedian that roofies young women cause one time said hip hop is bad for black people.

 

[CharlieDigital]

Because condemning the actions of individuals has greater efficacy than addressing the structural issues in education, income disparity, institutional racism, and social mobility.

Right?

RIGHT?!?!?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

 

[bob_arctor]

Way to not discuss his actual point and instead point and laugh at how shitty of a sound bite the quote is.

Silly gaf.

I did discuss his point. "Rudy has always been a piece of shit. Fuck him."

See?

 

[Currygan]

worst timing I've seen in a while

be careful to not cross the road when he's driving around

 

[JDSN]

Dude couldnt even think of another black dude that racist white people love quoting, Morgan Freeman is right there.

 

[CharlieDigital]

Fuck man, this is classic Diet Racism.

"Hey why don't you tell 'your people' that they need to act more civilized"

As if Obama isn't an American first and foremost.

 

[riotous]

 

[Fenderputty]

What about White on White violence?

He didn't mention black on black crime, just black crime in general. Still a shitty short sighted comment.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Way to not discuss his actual point and instead point and laugh at how shitty of a sound bite the quote is.

Silly gaf.

He has no point.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

I was thinking he wanted Obama to be more like Cliff Huxtable, the "traditional family values" kind of guy.

 

[Blader]

to be fair, he did preface by saying "I hate to mention it because of what happened afterwards." It's not like he's ignorant of the rampant rape allegations.

 

[hamboner]

Rape allegations aside (I feel gross having to type that), Cosby was just an outspoken classist shit-bag. Giuliani needs to shut his clearly out-of-touch mouth.

 

[Currygan]

to be fair, he did preface by saying "I hate to mention it because of what happened afterwards." It's not like he's ignorant of the rampant rape allegations.

then it makes him sound even dumber than he probably is

 

[Paskil]

What did he say? All I heard was "Noun, verb, 9/11."

 

[Raistlin]

I did discuss his point. "Rudy has always been a piece of shit. Fuck him."

See?

That's not discussing the point, that's just ad hominem.

I mean if everyone wants to just have a Rudy is shit thread, I guess have it? I thought there was an effort to have threads where actual discussion occurs though.

He has no point.

Really, because I seem to recall a number of threads on the topic ... ones with good points made on both sides.

But apparently gaf is just a hug box now on anything even coming close to discussing race?

 

[Blader]

He has no point.

He clearly does have a point, it's just a tired one.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

So he should give up on being a hugely successful president and follow the lead of a washed up comedian with a penchant for rape. I want to see the logic, Jools. I really do.

 

[Izuna]

Obama doesn't do this because he doesn't think being black has everything to do with the crimes, but the structures in place that put them into poverty and less opportunities that curate crime for all races.

 

[Angelus Errare]

He clearly does have a point, it's just a tired one.

He clearly doesn't.

 

[marrec]

That's not discussing the point, that's just ad hominem.


I mean if everyone wants to just have a Rudy is shit thread, I guess have it? I thought there was an effort to have threads where actual discussion occurs though.

There is no discussion. Cosby was wrong back then and Giuliani is wrong now. It's ridiculous to shift the burden onto the disenfranchised to fix the symptoms of the disease especially when you're part of that disease.

 

[CharlieDigital]

He clearly does have a point, it's just a tired one.

He has no point.

As if Obama has any more responsibility to comment on the actions of black people as Giuliani has on the actions of Italian Americans.

 

[linsivvi]

Known racist asking minorities to criticize minorities and used a known rapist as his example. What's there to discuss?

 

[Cyan]

I approve of that black man. All black men should be like the black man I like. Racism would not be a problem if all black men were like the black man I like.

"I mean, you know. Outside of the whole serial rapist thing, haha, amirite?"

 

[rude]

He clearly does have a point, it's just a tired one.

what's his point jw
