Top 10 Racist Limbaugh Quotes

By Casey Gane-McCalla October 20, 2008

Here's Our Top 10 Racist Rush Limbaugh Quotes

1. "I mean, let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back; I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."

Okay Rush, slavery was not a good thing for the millions of African Americans who were enslaved, raped and beaten. The streets weren't at all safe for African Americans. Slavery not a bad thing? Someone should put Rush on a plantation for him to see how great it is. Keep on fear and race mongering Rush, you might get to Goebels status.

2. "You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed."

Martin Luther King is a national hero, not a black hero. Everybody in the United States celebrates his birthday, children are taught to look up to him as a hero in school. He's earned the respect and admiration of the world and you believe the man who killed him was a hero? This is beyond racist. This is evil, mean spirited, subhuman. Praising the assassin of one of our great American heroes is beyond the scope of regular racism.

3. "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"

No but I've noticed that all racist bigots think like Rush Limbaugh. Comparing a respected black politician and minister to common criminals is Jim Crow racism. Maybe all black people look alike to him, but I've never seen a picture of a wanted criminal that looks like Jesse Jackson. A serial killer that looks like Rush Limbaugh, on the other hand.

4. "Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela - who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing."

The communist connection is an old way of dealing with black leaders. They used it on Martin Luther King, they're using it on Barack Obama and Limbaugh used it on Nelson Mandela. By siding with the racist apartheid regime over a world-wide symbol of peace and freedom, Limbaugh has shown he's a global racist.

5. "Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."

Limbaugh is once again fear mongering and race baiting by associating professional black athletes with criminals and gang members. He continues the fear mongering association of good, decent, hard working African-Americans as criminals.

6. "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

Now Limbaugh is saying that an organization with a storied tradition of representing the positive black people for change in their communities are criminals and rioters. An organization that has been represented by intelligent professional African Americans, that has played a part in the Civil Rights movement and continues to be an intelligent, concerned voice for the African American community is degraded to common criminals. There you go Rush. Keep racism alive!!!!

7. "They're 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?"

Decent human beings care, Rush. Someone out of that 12% may just become President of the United States. Not caring about black people? Even George Bush wouldn't admit to that.

8. "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back (to an African American female caller)."

Okay, Rush, that's classy. The old African bone in the nose stereotype. Wasn't funny when the racist white school kids called the black kids that, and it's definitely not funny when a grown man with an audience of millions of easily influenced dittoheads says it, either.

9. "I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there's a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn't deserve."

I wasn't super offended by this, the whole black quarterback/coach thing has been going on for years in sports, but the quote was so offensive that Retired General Wesley Clarke said:

"There can be no excuse for such statements. Mr. Limbaugh has the right to say whatever he wants, but ABC and ESPN have no obligation to sponsor such hateful and ignorant speech. Mr. Limbaugh should be fired immediately."

When a respected, retired general condemns the statement of a sportscaster, you know he's gone too far.

10. Limbaugh attacks on Obama. Limbaugh has called Obama a 'Halfrican American' has said that Obama was not black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya. Since mainstream America has become more accepting of African-Americans, Limbaugh has decided to play against its new racial fears, Arabs and Muslims. Despite the fact Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an 'affirmative action candidate.' Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show 'Barack the Magic Negro' using an antiquated Jim Crow era term for black a man who many Americans are supporting for president. Way to go, Rush.
I can't see how any minority can stand rush limbaugh. I would drop the niners fast as hell if he joined ownership.

Do you have video of all of those in context? Thanks.


I can give you my opinion on each of those quotables, but this isnt the thread to do it in. Most of them I have even heard Black people say.

 

[doublejs07]

he's gonna have that team looking like the Indiana Pacers.

 

[deuce king]

If this gets done, I truly would feel sorry for all the black players for the Rams. Who would want to work for a racist?? Any and all black Rams fans shoulddo everything possible to make sure this deal doesn't happen.

 

[troutking]

the guy would be a horrible owner. but damn i have know idea how that dude has all that cash, sellin pills?

 

[jch3]

I think one of the main things people don't realize about this potential ownership is that Stan Kroenke would still have 40% and Dave Checketts would mostlikely have a majority role over Limbaugh.

I understand the man is quite a firestorm when it comes to controversy but do people really think he's gonna walk into training camp and start shoutingracial epithets?

I dont need context. If he said the holocaust was a good thing you think jews would want him to be the owner of a team in a majority jewish sport?theres nothing touge in cheek of saying slavery was a good thing.

If your black and you can let these types of comments slide then I really have to wonder about the type of upbringing you had.

I have a feeling we'd see some CRAZY trades...

Steven Jackson for Peyton Hillis...

Avery for Jordy Nelson...

They would become the first all-white football team in the last fifty years.

Martin Luther King is a national hero, not a black hero. Everybody in the United States celebrates his birthday, children are taught to look up to him as a hero in school. He's earned the respect and admiration of the world and you believe the man who killed him was a hero? This is beyond racist. This is evil, mean spirited, subhuman. Praising the assassin of one of our great American heroes is beyond the scope of regular racism.

3. "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"

No but I've noticed that all racist bigots think like Rush Limbaugh. Comparing a respected black politician and minister to common criminals is Jim Crow racism. Maybe all black people look alike to him, but I've never seen a picture of a wanted criminal that looks like Jesse Jackson. A serial killer that looks like Rush Limbaugh, on the other hand.

4. "Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela - who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing."

The communist connection is an old way of dealing with black leaders. They used it on Martin Luther King, they're using it on Barack Obama and Limbaugh used it on Nelson Mandela. By siding with the racist apartheid regime over a world-wide symbol of peace and freedom, Limbaugh has shown he's a global racist.

5. "Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."

Limbaugh is once again fear mongering and race baiting by associating professional black athletes with criminals and gang members. He continues the fear mongering association of good, decent, hard working African-Americans as criminals.

6. "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

Now Limbaugh is saying that an organization with a storied tradition of representing the positive black people for change in their communities are criminals and rioters. An organization that has been represented by intelligent professional African Americans, that has played a part in the Civil Rights movement and continues to be an intelligent, concerned voice for the African American community is degraded to common criminals. There you go Rush. Keep racism alive!!!!

7. "They're 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?"

Decent human beings care, Rush. Someone out of that 12% may just become President of the United States. Not caring about black people? Even George Bush wouldn't admit to that.

8. "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back (to an African American female caller)."

Okay, Rush, that's classy. The old African bone in the nose stereotype. Wasn't funny when the racist white school kids called the black kids that, and it's definitely not funny when a grown man with an audience of millions of easily influenced dittoheads says it, either.

9. "I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there's a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn't deserve."

I wasn't super offended by this, the whole black quarterback/coach thing has been going on for years in sports, but the quote was so offensive that Retired General Wesley Clarke said:

"There can be no excuse for such statements. Mr. Limbaugh has the right to say whatever he wants, but ABC and ESPN have no obligation to sponsor such hateful and ignorant speech. Mr. Limbaugh should be fired immediately."

When a respected, retired general condemns the statement of a sportscaster, you know he's gone too far.

10. Limbaugh attacks on Obama. Limbaugh has called Obama a 'Halfrican American' has said that Obama was not black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya. Since mainstream America has become more accepting of African-Americans, Limbaugh has decided to play against its new racial fears, Arabs and Muslims. Despite the fact Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an 'affirmative action candidate.' Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show 'Barack the Magic Negro' using an antiquated Jim Crow era term for black a man who many Americans are supporting for president. Way to go, Rush.

I can't see how any minority can stand rush limbaugh. I would drop the niners fast as hell if he joined ownership.

Do you have video of all of those in context? Thanks.


I can give you my opinion on each of those quotables, but this isnt the thread to do it in. Most of them I have even heard Black people say.





YOU NEED A CONTEXT FOR SOMEONE ADVOCATING SLAVERY AND THE DEATH OF MLK?

the self hate in you disgusts me

owners in the NFL today.
He should fit right in with the rest.

Al Davis???
I don't like the raiders very much, but the advances that al has made in terms of racial equality were very ahead of his time.
