Watch S.E. Cupp Rip MSNBC Co-Host for Arguing Secession Petitions Prove That ‘Southern People’ Are Racist

Jan. 16, 2013 4:58pm Jason Howerton

S.E. Cupp

During MSNBC’s “The Cycle” on Wednesday, TheBlaze TV’s S.E. Cupp slammed her fellow MSNBC co-host Touré after he accused Southern states of being racist for filing secession petitions due to President Barack Obama’s policies. He said petitions demonstrate that “Southern people” really don’t want to “be in a country run by a black man.”

“The slew of secession petitions out of the south really interests me,” Touré said. “This idea that there are a lot of Southern people who want to have nothing to do with Obama’s America.”

“I think they’re talking about, ‘we don’t want to be in a country run by a black man,’” he added.

“That’s so offensive that you’re maligning an entire region of the country and injecting race into their psyches because they don’t like the polices of this president,” Cupp replied.

Cupp went on to say that “secessionism” is “offensive” to her but it’s “equally offensive to call these folks racist when you know nothing of their viewpoints and don’t know anything of their criticisms.”

Race baiting fool. ALL 50 states have petitions…

By 6:00 a.m. EST Wednesday, more than 675,000 digital signatures appeared on 69 separate secession petitions covering all 50 states, according to a Daily Caller analysis of requests lodged with the White House’s “We the People” online petition system.

I could care less if Prez O was pink with purple dots. I dislike the mans agendas and how he is dividing the country not the color of his skin.

You are projecting, Toure, and for you to make that assertion, you are most likely far more racist that the entire state of Texas.
To sit there, smirking, and making flippant remarks like that, is exactly what is dividing our country.
If we don’t want to eat broccoli for lunch: we must be racist
If we don’t want Obamacare: we must be racist
If we don’t want to raise the debt ceiling: we must be racist
If we don’t believe in abortion: we must be racist
If we voted for the ‘other candidate’: we must be racist
If we don’t want to send aid to countries that HATE us: we must be racist
If we don’t want the US to be in the UN: we must be racist
If we don’t want to spend $20M on another series of inaugural balls: we must be racist
If we don’t want to support every EO that Obama is abusing us with: we must be racist
If we disagree with ANYTHING that Obama does, and say it out loud: we must be racist
I’m not racist, Toure, I’m angry. I’m angry that this tinpot dictator and his cronies are making a “fast and furious” grab for power. I’m angry that every snotnose news reader that has a ‘communications’ degree is paid far more than they’re worth, will priss and pose for a crappy RACIST cable channel, giggle and call all the real working ‘other people’ RACIST. For signing a petition? We are all angry, because DC is not listening to what we are trying to tell them…WE ARE BROKE, OUR CHILDREN ARE BROKE, AND WE ARE TIRED.

I moved from NYC to North Carolina. I can not believe I used to pay so much to live in that dump with nasty people. My wife says she rather be dead than move back. I live with mostly white people which I like. They are very respectful. I do not like blacks and other minorities. By enlarge they are stupid and more inclined to commit crimes.. You can call me a racist, stupid and anything else you like. I don’t care. My wife and I like it here.. i was surprised to find out that people actually had teeth.. imagine that. Some of us are really tired of being told how we should behave. I guess I really don’t give a F_ _ _ about what you think…We should separated. Half the country for those that want to work and the other half for the low lives.. My taxes would be lower and my children would have a future.

So if Tools logic holds true, then the North is racist against white people because they didn’t agree with Bush’s policies. Fair enough?

This is the definition of secession….

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

This Toure is a race baiter, they had them in the 60s too. After saying something like he did they would breakout in song singing we shall overcome a old hymnal. It was on a lot of old country western shows.

“…when you know nothing of their viewpoints and don’t know anything of their criticisms.”
Look who’s assuming now! ALL of that is on RECORD–there ARE records of their LAWS (past and present). There ARE various types of media filled with evidence of their “viewpoints and criticisms.” It’s not a mystery–it’s not IMPOSSIBLE, or even particularly DIFFICULT, to gauge the general consensus of Americans in general, or southern Americans in particular, when a general consensus exists (which isn’t always). And no, not ALL southerners are racist–just ENOUGH of them to control many important and powerful institutions, set policy, and control the dominant culture.

I believe that BO has been pushed and goaded into communism for so long by his mentor and others close to him growing up and now by his close circle of dems , libs and progs that he actually believes this crap will be a cakewalk.
But in reality all they’ve accomplished is to awaken a sleeping giant. Just like Japan did in 1941.
Most Conservatives are too busy working and providing for their families and don’t have the time to spend turning out for protests and such as do the libs.
BUT! Prod us too much and we will defend ourselves and our rights!
They are SCARED now. The desperation and name calling are’nt working. More and more people buying guns and joining the NRA.
Every time they speak we get stronger!

That might be part of it, but they’d probably be doing that to some degree anyway no matter WHAT–sedition and selfishness is in their blood.

SE, I am a southerner and I can tell you that I have seen more racial discrimination in the northeast than I ever saw in the south. This guy, on SpinCycle, is just out of touch and doesn’t have a clue about what he is talking about. Don’t confuse a dislike for progressive/socialist values with racism…

The racist with the darker skin tone has the superior form of racism. With his own skin color as his sole defense for abject, vapid ignorance, anyone who disagrees can have their intelligence maligned on the basis of that skin color. It is the saddest descent into surface shallow I have ever witnessed since 1789 and the French Revolution. How Touré has been given a voice is beyond my imagination, but that the producers are as shallow as he. It is the end of “the content of his character…”, and exclusively the color of his skin. Pundit? He is an irritating, vacuous pedant…a jester without the bells.

The MTV has-been, Touré, just like his MSNBC colleague, Chris Matthews, are racists. While pointing their finger, irrationally and with no substantiation at all at those with whom they disagree, ideologically, these two MSNBC employees have four fingers pointing right back at themselves.

What’s the elementary school chide? He that smelt it dealt it.

MSNBC always engage in infintile arguments. Poster child Touré is a hired race baiter shill attempting foment a race war. Coward and Piven tactic of divide and conquer. top/down, bottom/up, inside/out. Soetoro-Obama’s media, rogue elements at DHS, ATF, FBI, DOJ, FEMA coordinate their script from terror factory to the faux W.H. “petition” site. He says, useful data mining. . .code for enemies list.

IF ONLY Government would teach the TRUTH about Slavery….Thet were slaves BEFORE they came here……From the homeland of Africa. How is that continent working out…..200 years later? STILL slaughtering the Black people!

If a Black person slaughters other Black people in Africa……He is considered a King. If a “white man” did it 200 years ago and are STILL white today…..You ARE a racist!

Dept of Education is responsible……

  There’s SO much wrong with what you said. So here’s a list of things a child could tell you that you OUGHT to know, but clearly DON’T:
  (1) Just because someone ELSE does something wrong, DOESN’T make it right for YOU to copy them–I don’t care WHY they were enslaved or WHO enslaved them; KEEPING them as slaves, and PARTICIPATING in the slave trade is still heinously immoral.
  (2) Basic lesson in economics–slaves don’t get sold without a BUYER–that buyer was almost exclusively EUROPEANS (true, there was some slave-taking between tribes, just as there has been in almost every culture, but do you know what REALLY made that practice EXPLODE? The DEMAND created by FOREIGN wealthy purchasers. Nor was it exclusively Africans enslaving Africans–many Arabs, some Europeans, and other foreigners usually from the Middle East but sometimes further afield, also trafficked in humans) who needed the labor in the New World to produce the raw materials for their industries back in Europe (some were also desired as servants there, but their principle value to the Europeans was cash crop farming and the trans-Atlantic trade).
  (3) The “truth about slavery” is that it is an awful blight on human history, a crime against humanity, and a powerful shaping force on the modern world and socioeconomy and more specifically the distribution of wealth and power therein. Ignorance may be comfortable and easy for YOU, but it is ugly and destructive to the world.
