He defends Aaron’s right to call you Willie Lynch, but not RiShawn’s right to say zip coon?? Hmmm, kinda hypocritical isn’t it?? When are the Feds going to investigate these corrupt clowns? Crawford, Howard, Gray, Brown, Carson, Oliver, Peterson, Anderson, Grandy,Forrestal, etc???

This is the same guy who thought it was right to advocate the parole of a cop-killer, Norman Radford. Apparently Crawfords testimony was sucessful, in that this scumbag was released. If you ever check election results, this man of the people wins with only a 500 to 1000 voter turn out. His outburst was typical of a ghetto mentality as well.

In 2004, Representative Bill Crawford received 15,143 votes (with no opponent). Why is the above commenter trying so desperately to lie ?

Why is it ok Wilson to call Abdul “The Grandson of Willie Lynch”? So that is ok? Are you saying that this is fair and you support it?

Why is it ok Wilson to call Abdul (What I meant to say was…….Wilson, is it ok to call Abdul)

Would a peckerwood like myself be off-base in stating that Crawford just might be the poster boy for the Zip Coon that RiShawn alluded to?

Crawford’s career began when he was “allowed” to run for public office at the whim of The City Committee of Bulen, SerVaas, Mutz and others that provided Crawford a seat at their “whites only” table. They paid Crawford well to keep his people out of the business of running this town.

RiShawn called him out for what he was, a slick, fast talkin’ pimp with his hand in his brother’s pocket. RiShawn was just too nice to Uncle Tom.

Adbul, give it up. Haith was wrong but nobody cares because they see you for what you are, a carpetbagger from Illinois. By the way, good job of keeping this issue alive so slacked- jawed bigots like Bumpy Johnson can have a forum to express their hatred for blacks.

Wilson, you know, they gerrymander districts. It’s called ‘throwing a negro a bone’in the vernacular. Now that he’s in charge, well, see the results. Crawford’s district is black into perpetuities. So is Carson’s. It’s jim Crow in reverse. Pray to your Godfathers.

Anon,if I’m a bigot then I’m a black bigot. Get a grip brother.
Slack jawed? I need to look that one up.
I’m always amazed when we think all peckerwoods are white folks from the North.

Crawford is an ignorant man who never finished high school. He is a former Black Panther and always talking black, pimps the black community and speaking that nationalist BS.

When he ran the Indiana Black Expo, he helped to bankrupt it while he was president and did not account for the funds.

Crawford is just another ignorant piece of The Democrat Machine.

I think that pretty well sums it up Muckraker. I remember when it all started.
The thing Abdul on this blog and Gary over at AI don’t understand is Indianapolis political history and how it plays out today.
For instance, I don’t think they know a lot about the fact that it was our radical black “so-called leaders” of the late 1960’s like Crawford who cut the deal for Unigov with the Republicans at that time.
And Julia Carson, she was MIA during the civil rights movement in this town, if you want to call a movement that gave us Unigov activism.
Everyone of these folks has a For Sale sign around there neck.

The whole reasoning of why it is okay for Crawford to support Aaron Haith’s name calling is he sees nothing wrong with it. No dem would. Obviously Wilson picked up from Andre Carson the term “crackers” to use against people because he has. It is ok for them to call names because they do not live by the standards they like to hold everyone else too. Pitiful.

I notice Allen didnt rebutt the advocacy of parole for a cop killer.

Whatever, “Bumpy”

All this just goes to show that: 1) racism works both ways; 2) we could all learn to be more civil to one another; and 3) in a free country, we will all hear things we don’t like, that’s part of free speech, so put on your big girl panites and deal with it!

Abdul,

Bill Crawford is not the “sharpest knife in the drawer”. A former black panther, he still lives in the 1960s.

Did you know Bill Crawford and Glenn Howard, former republicans, were both black panthers under Snooky (drug dealing, ex-con) Hendricks?
Ran as democrats and was elected in black districts.

I was at the press conference held by the ‘concerned black clergy’ last Thursday. Rep. Crawford, early in the conference, actually stated that the ‘n word’ is sometimes used as ‘a term of endearment’ in the African-american community. When a man has no credibility nor integrity, he can change his views in a matter of seconds.

I clicked the link to listen to the interchange once. Frustrated, I stopped the player. Gathering my courage (and forcing my gorge back down) I clicked to listen to it again (got about half way through before I couldn’t take any more) and I was left with an inescapable conclusion–we Black folks are confusing as hell. We insult each other with impunity and then sit back as whites get their heads handed back to them by Al Sharpton if they venture into our game of The Dirty Dozens.

Likening you to Willie Lynch’s progeny was intended as an insult. Saying anything else is evasive and disingenuous. Either we want a civil discourse free from race baiting or we don’t. We don’t get to have it both ways.

Not for you, Abdul, or for anyone else.
