ulysses1904I would be more inclined to believe his assertion that FDR "stated publicly on many occasions that he would never take a picture with a black man" if he presented an example of one instance, never mind "many". Not like I would refuse to believe it but this is the kind of bluster that Bill O'Reilly and Keith Obermann and all those clowns are shouting out every day. Say it in a loud confident voice and there are plenty that will believe it, sight unseen. Back up what you say with research and examples, and leave out the jittery graphics.
NetRunnerYeah, pretty weak sauce. He's also factually wrong on how many terms FDR had -- he actually won a 4th term, though he died 3 months into it.
Then you got Truman, who desegregated the military...
dystopianfuturetodayA google search for this quote turns a up a whopping six results, with this video being the top result:

So, let's go ahead and put this in *lies and *conspiracy
siftbotAdding video to channels (Conspiracy, Lies) - requested by dystopianfuturetoday.
9547bisWhat a wonderful political commentary: "FDR was a bad leftist economist because a was a racist!".
Hey, Blankfist, is this the best you can pull to bash democrats, are are you trying to ride some sort of "... is racist!" meme?
9547bisAlso, I have something for Blacksphere's Uncle T. Junior here:

Of course I could have pulled a picture of FDR in a crowd with some black people in it, but I thought something like this would be more interesting:
President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed an unprecedented number of African Americans to high positions. By mid-1935, forty-five had positions in cabinet offices and New Deal agencies. In 1936, this group began calling itself the Federal Council on Negro Affairs. Although these leaders were not officially cabinet members, their role in advising the President on black employment, education, and civil rights issues led the press to refer to them as FDR's "Black Cabinet" or the "Black Brain Trust."

blankfistHahaha. "Republicans walk the walk." Awesome. If it's partisan then you know it's true!
RedSkyIt's funny that one of those links in the google search has one guy DIRECTLY QUOTING that video word for word.

This would make an excellent lolcat caption.
TheJMansays...I wonder if he can name anything in the last, I don't know, 20 years that will be on this show.
siftbotMoving this video to blankfist's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
ThrobbinWhite people caused WW1 and WW2, carried out the inquisition, and murdered John Lennon. I guess they're just all the same.>> ^blankfist:
