If You Thought Trolls Thought Rep. Huelskamp Was Racist Before He Posted a Picture of His Family, Wait 'Till You See Them Wig Out After
— Ace

Rep. Huelskamp is a racist. I know this for two reasons:

1, he's a Republican

2, MSNBC declared he must be really bothered at the thought of biracial families.

So, granted: Rep. Huelskamp is a terrible racist.

But being a Racist was just Count One of the Racist Indictment against him. He produced even more evidence of his racism when he posted a picture of family.

Well, My God. Most of us are just normal Racists, but this guy is an Eternal Jade Ninja of Racism. He's so racist, he adopted a bunch of black kids just so he could keep being racist and then when people called him a racist he could show this picture of his family and thereby advance the cause of his racism under the guise of not being racist.

Think about how horribly racist that is. That shows commitment.

And speaking of commitment...


Note he put this picture up to rebut @MSNBC's claim that "the right wing" would be upset to see pictures of a biracial family.

Well, says one Twitter user -- How dare you. The insult we lodged against you wasn't really about you.


Psst: I think he was trying to prove that "the right wing" was not freaked out by biracial families. I know his logic is kookoobananas, but I think that's what he was thinking.

6 So a rich white guy basically bought a bunch of black children so he could parade his slaves, I mean children, around to deflect criticism? That so super racist.

17 From volokh: Not surprisingly, there is no statistically significant left-right political differences in the proportion of adopted or step-families that are in mixed race households. Indeed, among families with step-children or adopted children, 11 percent of conservatives were living in mixed race households compared to 10 percent of liberals living in mixed-race households. Similarly, 9.4 percent of Republicans living in step- or adopted families were in mixed-race households, compared to only 8.8 percent of Democrats in such families. (Again, this small advantage for Republicans is not large enough to be statistically significant). If one breaks things down further by both party and political orientation, only 7.7 percent of liberal Democrats and 3.6 percent of moderate Democrats lived in mixed-race adopted or step-households, compared to an insignificantly different 10.6 percent of conservative Republicans. Thus, there is no evidence in the GSS data that Republican, conservative, or conservative Republicans who were living with step-children or adopted children were less likely to live in mixed-race households than Democrats, liberals, liberal Democrats, or moderate Democrats in adopted or step-families. Indeed, in each instance the point estimates for living in a mixed-race household were insignificantly higher for the right side of the spectrum than for the left side.

27 among families with step-children or adopted children, 11 percent of conservatives were living in mixed race households compared to 10 percent of liberals living in mixed-race households

From the article:
[]iamong families with step-children or adopted children, 11 percent of conservatives were living in mixed race households compared to 10 percent of liberals living in mixed-race households

However, the libs will reply that those numbers are misleading, because mixed-race households could be white/Asian, when as we all know, we're really just talking about white/black here.  Those nasty conservatives are probably stocking up on Asians. 

Sweet looking kids, BTW.

Posted by: blaster at January 31, 2014 12:28 PM (4+AaH) It's always racist. As I've mentioned, I've been called racist by darker skinned members of my own family, because I vote republican and am a proponent of school choice. They then get mad saying "why won't you talk to us or come over for family functions." My response is always the same "you treat me like crap, why would I?" (They also ignore the fact that frankly I don't talk to my dad's side of the family much at all, white or black. The Korean war separated dad from his sisters, meaning that there's a generational gap within the family. I just don't have that much in common with them.)

Scroggins expressed her desire for parents to engage their children sexually at a young age in a series of messages in 2001 posted to an online message board called Peacelist. “Are there cultures that mothers or fathers pleasure their children and teenagers sexually or genitally and also possibly initiate them into sexual expression at some point?” she asked. “I have had intuitive thoughts that such would be a healthy way for parents to interact with their children and introduce their children to sensual/sexual pleasure and bonding and loving practices.” “Who better to do it, than the parents first?” she wrote. According to an online description, the now-defunct Peacelist was “dedicated to the advancement of the human species by restoring its natural peacefulness, through the means of affectionate parenting and sexual freedom.”

Rep. Huelskamp is a very evil, wicked, bad, and nasty White Republican, so he and his wife adoption of four Black children is simply horrible.

Sandra Bullock is a very cute, attractive, and very rich White Liberal who supports the right people and things, so her adoption of Louis is totz adorable.

107 And the term "person of color" was invented by Afro-centric racist to demean white people. Everybody has a color. Never met a translucent person in my life. There is no biological concept of "person of color" vs "white people". It's an insane, evil term invented by openly anti-white racists. The goal was to define white people in the negative, based on what they lack. Also, northeast asians (Koreans, Japanese, NE Chinese) are lighter skinned than southern euros. Light skin is a function of ethnic groups evolving to survive in cold, northern climates with little sunshine. Biologically, east asians and hispanics are much more closely related to white people than black people. There are tons of studies that compare genetic relatedness of ethnic groups. "People of color" is a scientifically false concept. Provably false.

150 Humanity's "color' variations are mostly "lightness" variations as ethnic groups in low sunlight climates evolved lighter skin to produce more Vitamin D. Ethnic groups in sunlight rich tropical climates evolved darker skin to protect against UV damage. It's a trade-off. A leading theory is that many of the genes for lighter skin were inherited from Neanderthal when humans migrating out of Africa interbred with the existing Neanderthal populations they encountered. This likely was due to rape as humans would kill the Neanderthal men and rape their women. Also presumably some of the Neanderthal men would rape human women they found unprotected. The hybrid offspring had lighter skin and this was a survival advantage in northern climates. Everybody in the world, except sub-Saharan Africans, are 2-5% Neanderthal due to this interbreeding.

204 Posted by: Christopher Taylor at January 31, 2014 12:58 PM (zfY+H) Mostly it's an ease issue. It is much harder for families to adopt American kids than kids from certain (usually 3rd world) countries. Not because it's actually more expensive or that there's more paperwork, but because there are organizations which will mobilize armies to smooth your way for the international adoptions, and it's much harder to find such organizations focused on domestic adoptions.

256 " I wonder why people have to go outside the country to adopt a child when there are tons of them right here who need a good home." Because many children in the foster care system aren't eligible for adoption. It's even difficult for family members to take those kids out of state.

259 Yes, because its so much cheaper and easier to fly to another country, work out extradition with a corrupt 3rd world junkhole and the US State department? I don't think so, but maybe I'm wrong.

Not cheaper, easier.  People running Third World orphanages don't refuse to let white couples adopt the black babies in their care because they don't hold masters degrees in Black Studies or Social Work and don't believe letting a black child grow up in a home with white parents instead of being abused to death by their biological relatives is wrong.  Your state and local Child Services, OTOH...

282 Portuguese news reported the discovery of a very large under water pyramid first discovered by Diocleciano Silva between the islands of São Miguel and Terceira in the Azores of Portugal.

According to claims, the structure is said to be perfectly squared and oriented by the cardinalpoints. Current estimates obtained using GPS digital technology put the height at 60 meters with a base of 8000 square meters. The Portuguese Hydrographic Institute of the Navy currently has the job of analyzing the data to determine whether or not the structure is man-made.

The pyramid was found in an area of the mid-Atlantic that has been underwater for about 20,000 years. Considering this is around the time of the last ice age where glaciation was melting from its peak 2000 years prior, whatever civilization, human or not, that was around before the ice age, could be responsible for building the pyramid. While the Portuguese Navy still hasnÂ’t determined the origins, many might question why this hasnÂ’t been first reported on sooner than late 2012. Certainly the NOAA who studies volcanic activity in the area of the pyramid would have discovered the pyramid through sonar imaging and so forth since the area is heavily studied due to volcanic activity. Either the NOAA hasnÂ’t yet come across it, they are hiding what they have found, or the pyramid doesnÂ’t exist. The last theory does not seem to be likely given the authenticity of the find.

... did they find a large donut shaped ring ?

Reading the MO foster handbook for work, the limitations on what you can do are myriad and probably scare people away. "You can only have the child's hair cut 1 inch or less." "I'm sorry, you took the kid to church with you on Sunday? That's against the rules.*" *I'm not entirely sure it's that bad, but it's vague in that area, sufficiently vague that it could be abused.

294 I never suggested that nobody before celebrities were adopting overseas, only that there's been a big surge lately. I say this from personal experience watching multiple families I know do that exact thing, in the last 10 years or so and not before that.

I get what you're saying but there are three aspects I don't think you've considered.
1) not all orphans are minorities
2) not all parents looking for kids are white
3) nearly all 3rd world countries are corrupt as hell and the state department is as hard to deal with as your local departments.

One Christmas-ish time, they came to visit us with their then-4(oh my gosh- he's graduated College now- crap I'm old)-year-old son. Said son was never allowed to play with guns, play 'violent' video games, watch 'violent' cartoons, etc. He found a set of building blocks I had (I don't even remember what brand). Within 10 minutes he'd built himself a gun and was walking around shooting everyone ("bang! bang!").

344 Because many children in the foster care system aren't eligible for adoption. It's even difficult for family members to take those kids out of state.

Posted by: Lauren at January 31, 2014 01:09 PM (hFL/3)


One of my Dad's dearest friends tried and tried to get Indiana's foster care system to award him and his wife custody of his grandchildren.  They would not, they kept insisting that his drug addicted daughter and her worthless drug addicted husband were what was best for those two little ones.  Time and again, he would go get them after the little ones called to say they were hungry, cold, scared, because his daughter and her husband were dead to the world on drugs, and then the State would seize the kids and give them back to the parents.  This went on until the worthless SIL killed his wife and kids in a drug fueled rage.


This man told my Dad, "I had the gun in my hand to blow him away the last time I went and got the kids, but, God, help me, I was afraid they would grow up to hate me, so, I didn't kill him.  Now, they never will grow up at all."

345 I know this is off topic but, maybe new Republican leadership "immigration policy " makes sense to them this way: by seeing illegal alliens as an "invading force" that is already here. This invading army has a native, active, willing "ally" that is going to use them as a tool to gain permanent control over this country, (having failed to gain control by conventional democratic). The republican leadership is surrendering to the new reality and hoping to curry some favor with their new masters.

351 1) not all orphans are minorities

I thought the topic of the post was interracial adoptions.  Sorry.

But here is what I was talking about: http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/34424614.html

As soon as the white couple asked about adopting the baby, government employees took him away from his good home and gave him to shirt-tail relatives who only wanted the check he came with because they hated the shit out of the idea that a black baby might grow up with white people.

The couple from 'tosa weren't "ignoring the local kids."  They wanted a local kid.  They weren't allowed to have the local kid.

2) not all parents looking for kids are white

Do black middle-class people adopt kids from Africa? I guess I have no idea.

3) nearly all 3rd world countries are corrupt as hell and the state department is as hard to deal with as your local departments.

I don't have any direct experience, but the people in meatspace I know who have adopted girls from China or orphans from Ethiopia seem to have managed OK.

371 Posted by: Lauren at January 31, 2014 01:26 PM (hFL/3) Honestly, from the clips I saw it's hard to tell what they look like. Probably by design for the show. I'd note this though, the chances of any future kids I have randomly finding a gun are about as high as them randomly finding a used needle on the ground (that is to say, low but non-zero.) They'll still be taught what to do in either case. (Doublely so for the gun since I do own guns.) As I said, the wrong conclusions will be drawn from this. Not that parents should teach there kids how to handle rare risks (and not stick their head and the sand and say "I don't like guns so I won't talk about them") No, that'd be the right lesson. Instead they'll call for MOAR LAWS.

Whereas, every night in this country a couple of dozen people are shot in gang incidents. No "if." The greater societal problem according to ABC is the former.

380 This kerfuffle reminds me EXACTLY of the argument made against Israeli prison guards: A survey was conducted (by a leftist group trying to prove a point) about how often Palestinian women terrorists were raped by male Israeli guards in prison. The final tally? Zero. Ever. Rather than concede that their narrative had been utterly defeated, the leftists instead took this data and declared: Israelis are racist against Palestinians and the proof of this is that are repulsed by Palestinian women and as a result refuse to rape them, as they would rape Jewish women. This is what happens when you start with a conclusion: You must wrap the data to match the conclusion, no matter how contradictory the data is.

This statement is the rationale and response to every proposal and discussion and argument. Republicans are racist. They repeat this because they have no remaining points to make. But therefore my classic definition of "racist," which originally applied to individual leftists and troll, can now be applied to every single leftist in the nation, en masse. Here it is: ------------------- racist - A statement of surrender during an argument. When two people or disputants are engaged in an acrimonious debate, the side that first says "Racist!" has conceded defeat. Synonymous with saying "Resign" during a chess game, or "Uncle" during a schoolyard fight. Originally, the term was meant to indicate that one side was accusing the other of being racist, but once it was noticed that people only resorted to this tactic when all other arguments had been exhausted, it acquired its new meaning of "indicating one's own concession of defeat."

438 Growing up my father kept his pistols in a dresser drawer and rifles in a closet in my older brothers room. No one played with them and we all were taught what they were for. There was also the implied threat that my Father would plant his size 13 boot well up your ass if you were ever caught playing with them.

This is not to say that that was the right storage solution. But since we were exposed to them early on and taught about them they weren't a curiosity. So we were happy playing with our toy guns and left the real ones alone.

449 Depression is, excuse the term, a mother-fucker. I'm not sure as to whether demonic possessions really occur outside the movies, but if they do, depression would be the Devil's cover. Anyone who has experienced true depression and lived through it has a clue, but even then not really, because we are still here. I went searching for a great quote about depression to post on twitter and all I could really find was a bunch of horseshit about stiff upper lips and smiling through the tears, and such.

461 I think the nature of politics weaponizes racial discourse, just like any other topic. On one hand, you have liberals who start out with some legitimate grievances and maybe one or two good ideas, then proceed to destroy all of them by competing in the Dog Whistle game. The state of minority/women ID on the left now is such that if conservatives didn't exist, the "you're racist" branch of leftism would immediately start a war with the "you're sexist" branch, and those would make up the American two-party system. On the other hand, you have conservatives who have a lot of good instincts, and are mostly over "that whole racial thing," but who are so inflamed by liberal provocation that they will not listen to anyone attempting to correct them about anything. As a result, to be a minority conservative, you have to have a high tolerance for all of that and know that your opinion only really counts when it puts down the racism of the left, not the insensitivity of the right. Yawn. The right's losing the culture war, unfortunately. Maybe families like this Congressman's will do some good.

462 A phenomenon that a number of people have noted while in deep depression is the sense of being accompanied by a second self — a wraithlike observer who, not sharing the dementia of his double, is able to watch with dispassionate curiosity as his companion struggles against the oncoming disaster, or decides to embrace it. There is a theatrical quality about all this, and during the next several days, as I went about stolidly preparing for extinction, I couldn't shake off a sense of melodrama — a melodrama in which I, the victim-to-be of self-murder, was both the solitary actor and lone member of the audience.” ¯ William Styron, Darkness Visible: A Memoir of Madness

No thanks to the POTUS and his economic policies which will eventually decimate the black middle class and create racial tensions far greater than we've witnessed in the 1960's. And how will families like these cope? For most people, the worst case scenario is that we will polarize as two societies, but their families will be on one side of the divide or the other intact. But for families like this, where do they go?
