Gerry Hudson, the Executive Vice President of Service Employees International Union (SEIU), told a panel on CSPAN this past week:
“I think we got some real problems. I spent a lot of time in Wisconsin and places like that where I have heard some of the most anti-immigrant sentiments around. It’s so f***ing rabidly racist.”
Hudson was speaking on the topic of “immigration reform” or amnesty for illegal aliens.
Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are going to push their amnesty plan in the US Senate any day now.

SEIU President Andrew Stern is the #1 Visitor to Obama’s White House.
The SEIU is MARXIST.
This IS Hope and Change.

Define racism: Anything that stands in our way.
AJ Lynch commented:
I bet Mr. Hudson has never actually worked for a living. Andy Stern started out as a govt social worker.
Flyover Sam commented:
I’m one of the rare minorities here who believe this continued (mis)appropriation of racism language is actually quite beneficial for society.
In order for American culture to truly become post-racial, the concept and its charge must become meaningless, nonunique and universal. In post-modern spirit, all actions must be guilty of its claim, allowing it to be both everything and nothing simultaneously.
Protesting taxes = Racist! Waking up White = Racist! Opposing redistribution of capital = Racist! Owning a home = Racist! Paying your taxes = Racist! Not paying your taxes = Racist! Opposing immigration reform. Demanding immigration reform. Opposing/supporting the President’s Supreme Court nominee. All political discourse is fully racist as the Left has correctly illustrated, all political discourse is referential to the minority President. Not one single action can be made in political space without it having a racist context.
The outcome of this condition is that the President will indeed move the country to a post-racial landscape, representing one of the very few positive contributions we can expect. Racism’s universality renders it useless.
How can you help accelerate this transition? Recognize and label everything as racist, post on it, claim and charge it, and help society transcend to a better space. Now excuse me while I go let my racist dog out…

Well, look: Even if the Dems (and Graham) ram through an amnesty, the numbers don’t pan out for them.
Let’s say there are 30 million illegals in the U.S. Most are Mexicans, and a large percentage of those are minors. I would say that with amnesty, there might be about 6 million new eligible voters.
In the last election, about 30 percent of Hispanics voted for McCain. So, we should probably expect nearly a third of the new voters of Hispanic background to vote for the GOP. That’s not counting all the Europeans, Canadians, Australians, Asians, etc., who are here illegally. Most of them, I would imagine, would vote against the Democrats, since the Dems are hellbent on instituting everything that these people fled.
Also, the people who are expected to save the Dems’ bacon–Mexicans–traditionally have a very low turnout, even in years when their side is riding high in the pollsl. Right now, their side is tanking in the polls. The people fired up to vote are on our side.
Most Americans–including union members–oppose amnesty. If the Dems ram this through, they’re going to lose many more voters than the new voters they gain. Democrats and independents will overwhelmingly vote against the Democrats to punish them.
The country is already itching to toss incumbents out. If Congress enacts an amnesty between now and November, we’re going to see almost every single incumbent tossed out. That’s guaranteed.
And an amnesty simply won’t be able to provide the Democrats with enough new voters to save their rear ends.
Veryconcerned commented:
The only racism here is what is coming out of this black bastards mouth! If white people don’t put an end to this race baiting and tolerance of the double standard where blacks and other minorities can say whatever they want and claim whatever they want against whites and whites don’t do a damn thing about it then t will continue forever. Wake up white-America or you will always need one of us around to vouch for you because according to the left there is nothing worst than a white racist.
VIVA LA RAZA!! commented:
LOL! He Stupido! You know what LA RAZA mean? THE RACE!
He calling the gringos racists…too funny.

Floradora commented:
Well, whatdoyaknow…that total moronic, sorry a$$ excuse for a GOP senator Graham has apparently reversed his sentiments when, after the passage of Deathcare, he emphatically said amnesty was “dead.”
kate commented:
First they came for the Christians, and since I’m not a Christian, and already part of a peeved minority, I said what the heck, how is this going to make a difference in our day to day lives. Then they came for the white people, and I said “Wow. They really hate us.”
averagemelon commented:
“They” are the small slice. Majority rules. Now get past yourselves and let’s solve the really big problems. Evolve already.
Dipso Facto commented:
The worst thing our side can do is adopt the left’s tactics and become reverse race baiters.
Obama was elected in part because so many Americans felt a need to prove they aren’t racist. If our side falls into the trap of allowing the left and the media to paint us as a movement that embraces “angry white people,” then we’ll lose the next election.
There’s no need to play the game the way leftists do. Tit for tat will backfire on our side. We need to be the colorblind side. Go after our opponents’ message without mentioning their race or skin color.
Taking on the left’s double standard is a battle we can’t win. Put that right out of your head and attack our opponents’ policies.

Averagemelon. That was moronic.

Absolutely. After only one year of existence, the Tea Party is changing the political landscape. There’s no analogy anywhere in human history.
We let our government get out of control, because we didn’t believe that what happened elsewhere could happen here. Now we know better. We’re going to fix the problem, and then we’ll never let it happen again.
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed, is more important than any other one thing.

Shortly, the party of racism will find the racist charge will no longer work. But the socialist charge will stick.
The fascist FDR used union thugs, joined with communists as his main organizing forces, it failed FDR, will fail Obama.
I wonder if Obama zombie voters, when they heard the hopey-changey lies, their first thoughts were communism?

averagemelon commented:
The “they” I was referring to are the small group of small-minded people who even CARE about what race you are. (As demonstrated in the video). I think true racists are a group minority themselves. They need to evolve.
My allergies are making this difficult.
Jo commented:
The race card is never going to stop. LA RASA is in all college campuses and supported by the libtards.
All work for Latins and none for anyone else is their credo.
Boo Radley commented:
I do not believe these Criminal will register to vote when given Amnesty. I do not think they will get Social Security numbers, or file tax returns. They are accustomed to living outside the law.
I refuse to call them “undocumented” because you can bet that they possess some sort of documentation from whatever craphole they left.
Additionally, unless this “Amnesty” crock comes with:
1) A hard deadline for the Criminals to align themselves with the law
2) Fully funded plans to begin, in earnest, roundups and deportations of the remaining Criminals on the day after that deadline
we will have absolute proof (yet again) that the law and national sovereignty is unimportant to the “lawmakers” and this administration.
Auntie Em commented:
They have and will continue to call me and all of you like me a racist. So I am making a t-shirt that says…
I am a racist because MSNBC says I am….get over it…I have.
Listen up commented:
All the racist I know are black. I lived in a black neighborhood in Michigan and experienced racist behavior toward whites daily. They need to get over themselves and earn a living. Whitey don’t own them anything!
Mitch commented:
It’s not an amnesty plan, and we need to end entitlements.
Joanne commented:
I don’t see what could possibly be wrong with people, white or any color, wanting the jobs in America to go to current American citizens, especially considering there aren’t enough jobs for the current legal residents as it is – it is utter lunacy to continue immigration or amnesty for illegals when there just aren’t the jobs to go around.
Joanne commented:
I think the racist card is pulled out because Obama supporters know that illegals given amnesty are also going to be able to vote for the Democrats in November. I sincerely doubt that see Mexicans as anything other than a vote for Democrats.
Marsh commented:
Oh noes. Americans, like everyone else, oppose mass immigration to their societies in order to maintain social tranquillity and quality of life for their citizens. This is so wrong! *eye roll*
Go ahead and call us racists. We don’t care anymore. Americans of all colors are getting pissed off at their communities rapidly changing due to rampant immigration. People can’t even find work anymore thanks to imported slave labor. No s#@# we oppose it.

Wow first Fox News was raciest,followed by any who spoke against Obama and his agenda being labeled raciest, then the Tea Party supporters where raciest now SEIU union members are raciest. Well guys welcomed to the club it would seem you have outlived your usefulness. At this rate Nancy Pelosi will be outed as a raciest.
Liz commented:
Let the losers keep playing the race card. In a few months, the race card will no longer have any meaning. Oh and send everyone who came to America illegally back to their home country. And take your kids with you. Get to the back of the line.
Andreas K. commented:
Same language is used here by the leftists in exactly the same context. If you’re against letting people in who refuse to integrate themselves into our society, if you say that criminal foreigners should be deported, then you’re a racist.

So now SEIU is turning on some of it’s own members, the white members, therefore proving what it’s really all about.
2hotel9 commented:
Union members are some of the most racist a$$holes in this country. No wonder they are Democrats, the Democrat Party being the Party of racism and all.
squeaky commented:
“So now SEIU is turning on some of it’s own members, the white members, therefore proving…” whether it’s race or not the in-fighting will pare down the numbers. when the
supporters become no more than dead wood….
like the four man bank heist team when one decides the loot is better split only one way.

Union members are rabidly racist?! Huh…in other news the sky is blue and fire causes burns.

La raza is an organization of flacid penises. They are doomed to failure. LOL.

I call on the FBI to initiate a R I C O investigation of SEIU.
Rock commented:
So Mr. Hudson
1 Acknowledges African Americans SEIU members are concerned about immigration amnesty, he is not concerned, as he said it does not take a whole lot to argue at least African Americans too another place. Seems he holds African Americans in pretty low esteem.
2.Next all you white boys in the SEIU are a bunch of raciest. Sounds like you have outlived your usefulness, and now have been thrown to the curb. Who’s your daddy now?
