Lynn Jenkins, Kansas Republican, Under Fire for 'Great White Hope' Comment

By JJ on
Freshman GOP Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins is drawing fire after a town hall meeting last week in which she suggested that the Republican party needed to find its "great white hope."

By gingerbeer25 on | From womanist-musings.com
I should really start a blog entitled dispatches from post racial America.  POC are routinely told that we have come so far and that things are getting better each day.  Racism is often theorized not to effect our lives to a great degree.  Of course these are the pronouncements from Whiteness and their house slave henchmen.  Tim Carpenter covered her little faux pas for the Topeka-Capitol Journal: Jenkins told people at the Hiawatha forum the nation could benefit from inspired leadership of a...Read Full Story

By bschmalfeldt on | From deepbraindiary.com
There are two things really remarkable about this video from 1980.  The rudimentary internet connections with the phone modems and the old clunky computers, and the reporter — talking about putting their newspapers online — saying, “We’re not in it for the money.” Those Happy Days! In other news… Golly!  Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins (R-Kan.) sure is sorry that some folks mistook her “ great white hope” comment the other day as being racist. Jeepers!  How could ANYONE think she was...Read Full Story

By BnYmN on | From seolay.com
As far as embarrassing racial gaffes go, this one was pretty bad. On August 19th, Rep. Lynn Jenkins spoke about the future of the GOP in Hiawatha, Kansas. Jenkins’ choice of words, however, has caused a firestorm of controversy due to their undoubtedly racist roots. Jenkins said: “Republicans are struggling right now to find the great white hope. I suggest to any of you who are concerned about that, who are Republican, there are some great young Republican minds in Washington.” For...Read Full Story

Every day I learn that it isn't just the South that "gets it"; there are Republicans everywhere that understand that ours is a Great White Christian Nation. This lass understands that : 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.

Letter: Showing respect
Shame on Rep. Lynn Jenkins. It wasn't enough that she skipped the president's visit to our state, but she had to issue a snide statement claiming she was too busy "working" to welcome the president, implying that he was not working.
