UNBELIEVABLE!!! ALLEN WEST

West: I’m Black by Birth, Not by Choice



By Ronnie Morrow





In a week of circus like activity for the GOP, Republican Congressman Allen West may have taken the award for the most over the top statement ever given. In a recent sit down with the Florida Representative, CNN anchor John King asked Mr. West how he felt about being a black Congressman during Black History Month.

In light of this month being Black History Month, I feel no way involved with this negro celebration of half accomplishments and borderline Communist agendas. View the list of these “fearless” leaders of black America. Black inhabitants of America knew their place at the table, and knew they could not eat off the same plate of the more than welcoming white men and women of the time. These men, I use that term lightly, like Malcolm X pushed themselves into the homes of innocent white Americans. This action riled up the negro, and scared the living hell out of people. I am no way apart of this community of transported Africans, I myself am an American. I’m a good ol’ boy from the great state of Florida, and a citizen of this great nation. I know God recognizes me as my true self, a proud, strong white man given dark pigmentation. God had to give the blacks at least one intelligent person, so he chose to give me dark skin. I curse my birth as a black man every day. I’m black by birth, not by choice. It will all be sorted out when my name is called, and I step in front of the great white Jesus himself.

What we are not looking for:


Direct insults and mudslinging.
Actual news stories. (a story can stem from a true to life scenario, situation, or person and even seem real, but it cannot be an actual story)
Copied stories from other satirical websites. (themes may be similar from time to time at the fault of happenstance, however plagiarism is not tolerated)

dead people getting baptized and satin roaming America, it's getting real hard to tell if it's satire or Memorix.
Look at this. Theirs a whole bunch of us had to go out to the website and check up on it.
I mean, OK may bey the repub fool didn't say it but I wouldn't be surprised if he did.
But thanks for the link.

the hostility and over the top commentary is freaking scarey.

what are they hoping to accomplish with this as it really does seem like an orchestrated event of some sort.

do they want the disturbed Inerts to act out in violence, re: Giffords?

would love a time machine for 20 years ahead and read some analysis of all this out of control idiotcy.

that some DUers have such crappy BS detectors that they would believe he said it.

Its from a satirical website called "News That's Almost Reliable"

Think for a moment people: this supposedly was from an interview in late february on CNN and you're just hearing about it now? Maybe because its a silly bit of satire, not a real story.

Sounds just like him.

If West actually said this he should be institutionalized, and immediately.

that West could have said something similar. The only real difference I see between him and Cain is that he's elected performance art.

he was probably greeted with the same sort of indignation. It's SATIRE, and satire sometimes leaves a mark.
