KS Republican Lynn Jenkins Says GOP Struggling To Find "Great White Hope" To Take On Obama
ABC's John Stossel whined recently about critics of President Obama being labeled as racists. This gem from Kansas Republican Lynn Jenkins is a perfect example of why that happens so frequently:
U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins offered encouragement to conservatives at a town hall forum that the Republican Party would embrace a "great white hope" capable of thwarting the political agenda endorsed by Democrats who control Congress and President Barack Obama.
In response to inquiries by The Topeka Capital-Journal, a Jenkins spokeswoman said Wednesday the congresswoman wanted to apologize for her word choice and to emphasize she had no intention of expressing herself in an offensive manner.
Of course not! She has nothing against black people and in fact, she probably even knows a few of them so she can't possibly be a racist. This is the kind of veiled racism that permeates the GOP and it's a big reason why they are hemorrhaging membership. A Jenkins spokesperson says she was really just talking about a bright future for the Republican Party. I'm not buying it:
Mary Geiger, a spokeswoman for Jenkins, said the reference to a great white hope wasn't meant to denote a preference by Jenkins for politicians of a particular "race, creed or any background." Jenkins was expressing faith fellow GOP representatives in the House would be key players in returning Republicans to a leadership role in Washington, Geiger said.
"There may be some misunderstanding there when she talked about the great white hope," Geiger said. "What she meant by it is they have a bright future. They're bright lights within the party." Read on...
And to think, the people of Kansas voted for this hack over Democrat Nancy Boyda. What a shame. Here is Lynn Jenkins' contact info. Feel free to contact her and voice your opinion and remember, be nice. Here is House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi's contact information, write to her and let her know how you feel as well. I believe Lynn Jenkins just produced the first political ad for her next opponent...
We have a new "Great White Dope!"
The blatant racism from the GOP and RW is just too obvious. They have to be obvious because they really believe most people are like them.
Just like the GOP never thinks the problem is with their ideology - they just didn't package that ideology or market it well.
This will be the end of them as a party.
The Democratic party could split in two, corporate dems versus labor dems - we can fight amongst ourselves.

"They have to be obvious because they really believe most people are like them."
They also have to be pretty damned obvious because the people they wish to appeal to don't do well with nuanced, subtle, or indeed, any polysyllabic word.
Well why is it that usually blonde republican women are such dopes. If she didn't know that was offense that she and the republican party really and truly don't get it.
Southern Yankee
Two of the dumbest Republicans, Sarah Palin and Michel Bachman, are brunettes. We win again!
This is a really lame thing for people to harp on even though it is technically true.
You'd think that the GOP, with their history of the Southern Strategy, which they ADMITTED was aimed at white racists in the south, and they even freaking APOLOGIZED FOR would be extremely sensitive to making any kind of remark regarded as racist.
Nope!
For a saying that you have to dig back to the early 1900's to somehow make an awkward accusation of it having a racist connotation?

But who have they alienated lately?
The middle, moderate voters.
I supposed technically she would be correct though. There isn't a single African American in the GOP House, is there?
Fight! Fight! Democrat and a white!
I use it all the time.
eg. "My great white hope is that Republicans get eaten by sharks!"
But seriously, I think this is one case where she just used the phrase without thinking. Admittedly, that's a pretty stupid thing for a politician to do -- their JOB is to think about how they are perceived.
My great white hope is that the pyrotechnics are carefully administered.

Would that reference some part of limpballs anatomy that is best left unsaid?
I would probably accept Rep. Jenkins spokesperson's explanation if Jenkins had not followed up her 'great white hope' remark with a list of specific WHITE republicans.
Eric Cantor (R-VA), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA),Paul Ryan (R-WI.), and Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS).
She knew exactly what she was saying, and she said it very clearly.

Even if I'd heard her as she said it, it would never have occurred to me that the remark was "racist". It's a well-known phrase that she used appropriately. This uproar is as dumb as the one about someone using the word "niggardly" a year or two ago.
With so many real offenses committed by the righties every day, do we really have to seize on non-offenses like this?

Didn't the phrase "Great White Hope" originate back when white boxing fans couldn't accept that Joe Louis was the champ?
Jack Johnson was the first black world heavyweight boxing champion.
. . . stirring up the more latent racism into full fledged fury. It's not like Jenkins would be unaware of the reference, it was a play and subsequent movie in the 60s that dramatized/fictionalized Jack Johnson's story.
Was it Louis or Jack Johnson? I'm off to wiki to see what I can find

lets face it....there is a large segment of our population who believes that the only good black man is the stepandfetchit black man

great white hope was all about pitting a white boxer against the then reigning black boxer. And didn't the great white hope lose? You need to user your brain before you open your mouth, stoopid lady!

As a honkey, I feel I can say, that honkeys really are assholes sometimes.
The house I lived in when I was five years old was right across the street from the "black area". When the ice cream man would come around in the afternoon, all the black kids across the street would yell, Here comes the honkey man. Here comes the honkey man. Being five years old, I thought that was what everyone called the ice cream man. To this day when I hear the local ice cream man's bell and music in the neighborhood, I think to myself, Here comes the honkey man.

When I was working construction.
There were ice cream trucks that were driven by some really good looking women from eastern Europe...turns out they were hookin on the side...
Probably a good thing I didn't find out until after I left, when that job was finished, lol!
Around here there are two ice cream trucks. One is nicely painted, plays a cute tune, and really sells ice cream. The other is an old rusty panel truck with a broken chest freezer in the back that sells drugs.

I thought that Palin was their white hope. Or just their hope.

The don't think of white people as a race. They see their skin color, values and beliefs as norms that everyone else deviates from. Following this, anyone who doesn't accept the white lifestyle as the norm (I don't mean doesn't like white people, just doesn't accept their position as the norm in any facet) is a crazy racist.
However I submit this is a symptom of being the 'dominant' culture in that everything you see and do in your world reinforces the idea, and would be found no matter which race was the dominant culture.
cant be european, because they spend most of their time ripping the european system
cant be most of white america, who has borrowed from every culture under the sun
so where does one find the white lifestyle or culture they are talking about?

Its easily recognizable as their own, regardless of what went into it before or anything like that.
White is the default position. Most conservatives only see race when it's different from theirs. Then it's scary. But of course they can't let on that they're scared. So they just get nervous and say stupid things.
I'm from Jenkins's district. She's an airhead. I can easily see her saying something like this without even considering the racist implications. She is utterly tone-deaf to race, because she doesn't need to be conscious of it, running as a Republican in white-bread Kansas.
BTW, I voted for Nancy Boyda, but she was no prize, either. She basically ran for her second term as a Republican.
Seems Rep. Jenkins doesn't understand how our democracy works. You want to thwart Obama's policys? Take over the house and senate.
Its nauseating to think the RNC is looking for non-political ways to stop Obama.

WOW! I read garbage that ranged from "The Great White Hope" is a common turn of phrase not meant to offend, to Obama is the racist one because his campaign slogan was "Hope", inferring that he meant "Great Black Hope" to A-As who cried when it was announced that Obama won were racist because he's A-A, they're A-A and they were happy to see an A-A person win.
How do you even deal with logic like that?
Arguing that "The Great White Hope" is a common turn of phrase not intended to offend is as offensive to me as someone saying "No Offense" after telling a racist joke to someone whose race was the target of that joke. I wonder if these same people would argue that the swastika was actually coopted from ancient Hebrew and therefore people, especially Jewish people, shouldn't be offended if someone paints this symbol on their house? Or maybe if Obama had said something like, "that's mighty white of X to say this," he'd be excused because that idiotic comment is a common turn of phrase?
Why is it that those offended are the ones with the problem rather than the ones who did the offending?
go to india....you will see it everywhere

Swastikas
One of the oldest symbols made by humans, the swastika dates back some 6,000 years to rock and cave paintings. Scholars generally agree it originated in India. With the emergence of the Sanskrit language came the term "swastika", a combination of "su", or good, and "asti", to be; in other words, well-being.

In graduate school a student adamantly defended his grandfather's use of the "N" word by reasoning that the grandfather grew up in Texas, he was very, very old and it was once used in his community as a term of endearment. Therefore calling a black person the "N" word wasn't meant to offend, it was just a term of endearment to his grandfather. Unless you are an alien from another planet whose only visit to earth took place in Texas during the antebellum period and the only converstaion you'd had with a human as a 1 hour discussion with a plantation owner about the plight the property owner, that excuse doesn't hold water.

Even if she didn't know the exact origin of the term, the fact that it contains the adjective "white" smack-dab in the middle should have forced her to think twice about dropping the term in the first place.

Hmmm, how is your salary paid for, Deary? It doesn't surprise me that she said something like this. She is in over her head and not very bright. She held a Town Hall meeting in an refurbished hotel that now provides apartments for seniors. Wonder where the subsidies for those apartments come from? How about Meals on Wheels? How about the health care for the residents? Medicare, anyone. But she is against reforming health care and single payer is socialism? Not a very bright bulb.
an ironclad Republican defense? Her cultural ignorance of the origin and meaning of the phrase should be taken as read should it not? I'm sure there are memos being exchanged through Republican circles as we speak warning of this particular landmine. On the other hand she didn't mention Jindal or Steele. Hmm?

Great White Hope originates in part from the 1967 play of that name by Howard Sackler. It's about an actual black boxer named Jack Johnson who fought James Jeffries, who was the Great White Hope.
[from Wikipedia] "The fight, which was promoted and refereed by legendary fight promoter Tex Rickard, and became known as "The Fight of the Century", soon became a symbolic battleground of the races. The media, eager for a "Great White Hope", found a champion for their racism in Jeffries. He said, "I am going into this fight for the sole purpose of proving that a white man is better than a Negro."[1] A furor was created at the fight, as a ringside band played, "All coons look alike to me".[2]"
Jack Johnson won and got the white girl.
Jack Johnson, in fact, got lots of white girls. Read his bio in Wikipedia.
