Meeks said What?
Once again, the veil falls from the true face of a ignorant, racist, piece-of-shit "man of god" who's contending in an election to run Chicago:
Mayoral challenger James Meeks scrambled Thursday to put out a political fire touched off by his suggestion that only African-Americans should be eligible for city contracts set aside for minorities and women.
Meeks made the statement on Wednesday during an interview on WVON-AM (1690). It happened during a discussion of why African-American businesses got a 7 percent sliver of Chicago’s $1 billion spending pie through Aug. 31, down from 8 percent a year ago.
“The word ‘minority’ from our standpoint should mean African-American. I don’t think women, Asians and Hispanics should be able to use that title,” he said.
Of course, he's backtracking so fast, his skid marks are leaving skid marks. But this is par for the course for Meeks, the so-called "reverend."
Of course, the question has to be asked, "Who, and how much, did someone pay Meeks to say this," seeing as how the leading black contender pretty much just lost the Hispanic, Asian and White votes.
And who knew that Meeks would be able to make Danny Davis look like a moderate? Oh yeah, our readers, for at least the past 4 years. Sorry we asked.

I doubt any smart person would vote for such a racist, hating, and dangerous man. This guy hides behind religion to push his racial ideas. I love it when these guys forget to pretend they are decent human beings and show their true self and it gets caught by the media. What the hell does Meeks know about business anyway? If this guy gets elected mayor Chicago will be much worse than Detroit, it will look more like Hatti.
Meeks has never been a leading contender for Mayor of Chicago. He probably lost most of his support when he refused to support the civil union amendment downstate a little while ago. Stick a fork in Meeks, he's been DONE for quite some time now.
Chris Rock said it best: "The most racist people are older black people"
congrats illinois democrats. this is the moron you guys voted in. no wonder your symbol is a jackASS.
Rhodesia
Former mayoral candidate, James Meeks, had little or no chance of winning anyway. At least now he will know that ALL of the other minorities, along with all of the "white devils",would not have voted for his racist ass.
On the plus side for him though, he probably solidified himself as THE # 1 candidate among the black, race-baiting, haters out there who STILL believe that they deserve to be given everything for free and shouldn't have to work a single day of their lives.
Stick a fork in him... he's done.
Not that this race baiting piece of shit actually has a chance in Hell of winning the mayoral election, do keep in mind that he's spouting off again on how disadvantaged children should be given vouchers that would allow them to attend private schools. Other contenders in the mayoral race (see paragraph 3 of this post) may adopt this cause during their campaign in order to garner votes from those that would benefit from such an asinine proposal.
Translation: the worst of the worst ghetto jagoffs would be allowed to enroll their bastard offspring at the schools that many of us work two or more jobs to be able to send our children to. Certain demographics that have polluted the CPS would be allowed to populate the very same private schools to which many working parents send their children precisely to limit their exposure to this cancer.
And those of you who may be leaning towards casting a vote for Chico should take note that he also supports this proposed voucher program. Am I the only one not finding the irony in this funny? A former head of the CPS whose tacit admission suggests that he was partially responsible for the utter failure and imminent collapse that is the CPS.
First it was translators in public grammar school classrooms to interpret for the Hispanic anchor babies. Then it was day care facilities at "select " high schools, so that Freshman through Senior Child-Parents had somewhere to drop off their own kids while they were pushed through four years of substandard curriculum in order to get them out of the collective hair of uncaring educators. And now this?
Failed social experiment after failed social experiment, combined with billions of dollars wasted on something that has proven to provide little to nothing in return, culminates in yet another failed social experiment in-the-making...spreading the cancer to infect and destroy yet another facet of normal society that is parochial/private schools.
Currently everyone but white males are eligible for minority contracts.
To me that white males are legally the victims of discrimination.
What a country we live in.
You are a fuck Meeks. Don't think I, a female police officer whom you physically and foolishly threatened or the two hispanic female florists who lost a few thousand dollars worth of business (Valentines Day and prime hours of parking) will forgot you minority MR. MAN. You refused to pay a quarter to park. Well you paid more than a quarter when u picked up your caddy from the impound lot I'll bet. Back in the day when a sgt was a sgt and a supt was man you saluted because u respected him not because u lived in fear of an unjustified federal inditement from an unqualified pussy. PS Will all of you other political (you are ALL unqualified for anything other than a job as a greeter at Wal Mart) stop speaking of J-Feds exemplary qualifications. The entire WORLD of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice knows he is just as much of a incompetant, moronic, boob as you are. Else why would he be here to begin with? Please speak for your own activities such as your illegal contracts, etc.
Who died and made him boss anyway? Huh? Huh?
Oh C'mon now. It's not truly sad there will be no factory jobs. If they are learning battery 101, Falling to Concrete/Fake Inj by Screw, LOCKDOWN 1,2,3 and 4. Sounds like they'll be plenty prepared whether it be the hard, gritty life of a County Jail , the preferable more relaxed, with pleasant piped in Muzak of a Federal Pen, the Physical, fun and athletic challenge of a court sentenced Boot Camp, or a leading in one of hundreds of Chicago's ruthless, ever dope-warring gangs, Chicago's students are ready for the challenge. Federal dollars have NOT been wasted in the training of the future of America.
Chicago. We not only throw good money after bad, we'll drive it there in a city-owned vehicle.
The powers that be probably put him up to it so you know who is all but put into office. A little payment might have been sent to the racist. To all of you who are saying that they would never stoop so low:

This is too easy!
I think set-aside contracts are racist and promote division by insinuating that minority/WBE businesses are somehow second-rate.
There should be no such thing as set-aside contracts. When doling out public money for public projects, the contractor that provides the best quality of work that's on time and on budget should be chosen- just like in a business.
Of course, saying that in Chicago is like saying taxes should be reasonable, schools staffed with competent teachers, and the police shouldn't be jagged around constantly...but hey, one can dream.
Funny how none of the press have labeled these comments as "racist"
This guy is a mumbling, hand job who is a blatant racist!
Sorry but I agree with Meeks on this to a point. I believe all set aside programs should be ended today, they are no longer needed. That said hiring and other quotas were set up to right the wrongs of slavery and Jim Crow. Hispanics and Asians were never forced to come here and work many broke the law by coming here to work. All said if affirmative action is wrong for blacks, which it is, it is certainly wrong for Hispanics and Asians.
Just imagine if a candidate who was not African American had made a comment even half as offensive as Rectum Meeks. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackass would have parachuted in and called for a federal investigation of the candidate and insisted upon his immediate withdrawal from the race.
Obama would have weighed in on the situation condemning the racist comments and referred the mattere to Eric Holder for possible legal action. Instead, Meeks goes on other programs and spouts even more racist drivel (on ABC while backtracking he still held that business' run by caucasian women should never have a set aside).
Where is the condemnation of Meeks' racism from the other "men of God", the lamestream media and other politicians? Where's Durbin and Obama, Daley, Madigan, Preckwinkle and the aldercreatures? Why aren't they crying out for justice? Political correctness has created an alternate universe where truly racist comments cannot be labeled as such if uttered by an African American. What a bunch of pansies we have become.
Meeks the racist gang banger! This city county is so screwed up! Like him or hate him just read the latest "Limbaugh letter"published by radio personality Rush Limbaugh,he had an article about "crook county"! How they stole all the hundreds of millions in winter weatherization monies! This city/county/state is a fast downward spiral thanks to the thieves at the top! Did quinn vote on the pension?Did daley take the man potato head into the woodshed to be sure he does not vote in favor of police? bunch of crooked jags!
There goes that race card again!
Actually, Meeks now has my vote. Four years of this idiot and the "because I'm Black" argument should be history.
After electing the current President, the far left has exposed themselves as the incompetents they are. Their agenda is anti-American, anti-business and anti-common sense.
Meeks can do the same for the whole "racist" argument and we can get on with the business of running this great Nation (and City).
They should get rid of "set-asides" completely. Let everything be competitive bid.
If minorities want to compete in the business world, it should be on equal footing. If your daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy's daddy was a slave, that was almost a hundred fifty years ago. Get over it already.
Minority set-aside contracts should go to anyone NOT part of the Daley Crime Family!
Considering all the times he has had to amend his previous comments, he should be called Reverserend or the Reverse Reverend.
Luckily, in this case, the Meeks will not inherit the earth.
I have relatives who are white liberals and they wouldn't be bothered by Meeks' comments at all. They think Jeremiah Wright was quoted "out of context." Never underestimate the stupidity of white liberals. They feel so much guilt over things they are not guilty of that their minds are mush.

I can see a scenario where like minded parents would band together and hire the best teacher(s) to teach their children in a home schooled format. Think of it like mutual fund theory of investing. Pool resources together (money) by multiple people. Hire a teacher capable of teaching multiple grade levels within a simultaneous setting. It would be a viable strategy in keeping your children as far away as possible from the ghetto thug/faux public school student.
....Hispanics and Asians were never forced to come here and work....
And nobody is stopping you from going back to mother africa putting on a loin cloth and chasing down your dinner.
Your race developed here after years of hardship. Kinda like other minority groups that came from other countries.
You, your family, your ancestors and your progeny wouldn't be enjoying the freedoms and excesses that are available to US citizens if you were able to stay behind.
You would kind be like the cab drivers that your nephews rob and kill occasionally.
I know a black policeman who said, several years ago, that he was one of the most hatefully reverends you could find. He rally hated the PR,s most of all, and yes, they will fall into line and vote for him when told to by the HDO.

I can't believe you forgot the BIGGEST ONE of the all.
The Messiah.
Barack Hussain Obama.
Stupid is as stupid does.
The problem is that there is a lot of dedicated stupid people out there.
The other "said what" quote of interest was by Danny Davis who said he would, "...bridge the gap between rich and poor." and "find new sources of revenue." This sounds like the middle class homeowners would be in for a rough time with a lot of NEW taxes.
What bullshit. I don't agree with set aside contracts as much as you guys, but did we forget why they exist? It was not very fair in the past right? You or your dads weren't complaining then? If contracts were fair back then to minorities including women, then all this shit wouldn't be happening now.
Then he tried to back pedal, on Fox he said that he meant that white women shouldn't qualify, because what kind of discrimination have they faced???
Seriously, ummmm, freed slaves were allowed to vote before women...women make 77 cents for every 1.00 made by men.
Robin Robinson even had the look of "what the F--K" on her face.
How about we change voting rights to tax paying citizens only...use the same points as social security, so many employment credits and you can vote. That should have the democrats changing their ass kissing ways.
Meeks is exactly why race relations have problems!
He blames everyone (especially the white man), makes excuses for deadbeats, demands everything but returns nothing, falsely accuses the police, if i'm not mistaking doesn't he have a residency issue also (unsure of this one?)
Chicago. We not only throw good money after bad, we'll drive it there in a city-owned vehicle.
12/17/2010 05:36:00 AM
LOL!
Meeks has always been a racist by any account. he has shown his hatred towards white people for as long as i can remember, now he just proved he hates any race besides black. and ill bet he has odumbos full support on this too.
Is it me or Does Meeks sound like Mike Tyson when he talks. The same stupid shit comes out of his mouth too!
Dear Jimmy,
My man. Heard you on the radio today. Pipes sounding good my brother. Just want to say thanks for the votes. I guess you got my gift in the mail.
Happy Holidays
xxooxxoo
Rahm
p.s. where have Jesse and Al been? Vacationing in Costa Rica again? I thought for sure they would have called in. Still waiting to hear from them about all of the fallen police officers. Maybe they lost their cell phones at the swim up bar.
RE
Meeks had no chance to win the position of mayor and as soon as people come to their sense, they will realize Danny Davis is a big fraud too.
Most people did not know voters in other states wanted to know what "kind of idiots voted Blago and these other idiot/thieves into office?"
Now some people are starting to realize elections are not a popularity contest and too much is riding on them to be taken so lightly.
Give a fool a microphone and he will out himself every time.
I would think that this kind of statement would prove that this nitwit is qualified to be Mayor of this soon to be a sewer. Spend some time listening to the shankster. Some of his shit makes meeks sound like a Rhodes scholar.
Nobody paid him to say that!
He's just a dumb piece of shit.
My God, remember what he did to Sgt J.C. on that traffic stop? Remember when Phil Cline apologized to Meeks afterwards?
I knew if he had enough rope he would hang himself.
"Funny how none of the press have labeled these comments as "racist" "
Black people cannot be racist. Black people can say anything they want because all black people are victims of the white society. There are no black racist.
The other side is white people cannot ever criticize black people or a black individule. To do so is white racism. The truth or logic does not matter.
Meeks, Rahm, they can't help heir unending arrogance....it eventually bring them down.
Anyone who votes for these morally dangerous men are dumb, nuts and probabably just as morally dangerous as them.
Meeks hides behind the "rev" persona just like jackson and sharpton. They are all racist$ looking for power and money. The will call any blackman a "N", but will be first to media bash if any other race says the word.
They can support the voucher program all they want, they aren't smart enough to coordinate it. Catholic schools are having a hard time retaining teachers as it is with their low salaries. The trade off was that the teachers had better kids. Throw jagoff kids into the equation and it will cause an exodus. Remember there are virtually no religious staff left at these schools for the labor!

------------------
It wasn't "smart" voters that have kept him in office since 2003 (he is a Democratic member of the Illinois Senate, representing the 15th district).
Maybe Phil and him can hug it out again,two sellouts.
Instead of arguing what percentage each minority group should receive in set-aside contracts, the government should eliminate all set-aside contracts.
The government could choose to sign contracts with the bidding company that offers the best combination of quality work, price, and reliability.

Meeks is a joke. I know from experience, anything you can do for a little face time on tv, you'll do. Meeks will lose big.

Chico just took a big step closer to my vote
I contrast Meeks (and the rest of the minoroty set-aside/race-quota ilk) with this statement from Frederick Douglass:
"What I ask for the negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice. The American people have always been anxious to know what they shall do with us... I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! ... If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm-eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! ... And if the negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!"
Just A Civilian (who gives Meeks a little credit for opposing the corrupt and incompetent public-school monopoly)
he wants to give inner city kids $4500 each for education every year? the same kids that ruined every public school? i spend $6000 a year for catholic grammer schools to keep my kids away from those parentless useless animals.
Yeah, when are the Board of Elections residency hearings for this character? Lives in South Holland, doesn't he?

How many Smart people do you know in this city that kept voting for Daley?
How many Smart people do you know that kept voting for Stroger?
How many Smart people do you know that park on a Hydrant to get Starbucks or drop off their Dry Cleaning?
How many Smart people do you know that routinely talk on their Cell Phone or Text while they drive a vehicle?
This is beyond Democrat or Republican alignment.
But I must ask..
Who was the last Quality Republican that was elected to Hold High Office in this City or Country that you didn't also Bitch about?

hey Meeks, i just love it, your real you just comes out, Meeks, You got my Vote...Yea Right, Your Racist Piss Of Shi..
People who actually agree with meeks you're a joke. Always free hand me outs. Never taking blame, nope playing the famous race card and sad thing is they get away with it. Yeah "they:"

I don't give Meeks any credit for not even breathing air. Race baiting fake man of the cloth. This incompetent public school monopoly is being wasted on his people in the roseland neighborhood. Free meals bus rides school supplies and all they turn out is convicted felons that cannot even spell.
Maybe he simply let his power go to his head and said what he really thinks. No one paid him off; he just thinks he can say and do whatever he wants to.
He's a racist. His senatorship should be recalled. Unfortunately, there's no mechanism for that - yet.
If Rahm or Chico said something like that, their heads would be on a pike.
Thank you racists and apologists, for letting this bastard get away with this.
Retirement/leaving Crook County, Chicago, Illinois gets closer every day.
"Anonymous said...

It IS a rule. Some guy named Anonymous posts almost all this stuff!
Asians are not considered minorities in the city of Chicago and thus do not qualify for minority contracts or anything else that may "level the playing field." I think asians represent about 1.7% of the Chicago population but aren't minorities by soon to be ex-King Daley's standards. African americans run about 40% of Chicago's population. Go figure.
Look at stas,the minority in Chicago are Caucasian males! Where's my free cheese?Link card?free medical? We need to file a federal lawsuit for the white folks,fuck it why not?
the minority contractors screwed up mill.park. the work had to be fixed. #2 the real meeks just slipped out....what he really meant to say was
Let's see he's pissed off the gays, women, and non African American minorities. Most of the black guys I work with can't stand him. How does this bumbling, foot in the mouth rearend figure he can win the Mayor's race?
actully the guy is right ... when were hispanics wronged?
whether you agree w/ affirmative action (contained in the 1965 Civil Rights Act which bestowed the power to make guidelines upon the EEOC - which drafted the affirmative action stuff) or not, it was meant to make up for past mistakes and prop up the blacks (short term) ... now hispanics and women snuck under the umbrella.
Meeks is right.

Why should I work two jobs. Pay 33% in income tax, 10% in sales tax, 3% of my salary for health insurance (that only covers 80% of the medical bill). Half of my money gone before I deposit the payroll check.
Is funny to see a guy thats comes from a community that blaims everyboby in the world for what happens to them but not take responsobility for they own actions, Dont Blaim others, you and your people are the biggest Racist.
