Shoot, this “great white hope” ruckus is nothing more than typical political correctness mule manure being played up by both our mainstream media and left liberals. This is all so very childish.
Our expression “great white hope” is, today, mainstream Americana. Nothing racist about this. A word or an expression is only insulting or racist when wrapped within a context of hatred.
Lynn Jenkins did not wrap her words within hatred. Her context is clear and is free of any hatred.
Annoys me to no end all this political correctness mule manure. Annoys me more these people jumping up then screaming and hollering about a bunch of political correctness nonsense.
This red skin girl says to those mule manure people, “Sit down, shut-up and quit acting so childish.”

When it’s Obama in office, and a person lists three white people as their “great white hope” against that black man, then it is a racist statement. That is what those words were invented for. It’s not Americana, and unless you’re ignorant of the phrases usage and meaning you are a racist. The words she used and the context in which they are used either denotes a racially motivated hatred, or a very ignorant person who doesn’t understand how racist the words “great white hope” are to African Americans and anyone else who hates the bigotry that phrase represents. The spokesperson tries to say “oh they are bright lights in the party” but that’s just a load of political wiggling trying to get out of what they know was a racist phrase. If a black elected official had said we need a “great black hope” to replace Bush in 2005, there would have been a weekly segment on conservative talk shows about how racist that person is and how that represents the entire democrat party.
If Jenkins were to apologize and admit that she either didn’t understand the racial implication of her words or didn’t realize how offensive that phrase is, then I’d say she’s not a racist and should be given a second chance. But until then, the (R) next to her name stands for Racist and not Republican. I wouldn’t be surprised if most republicans distance themselves from her and her comments immediately.
This is racist. And to cover it up with “but I did not mean for it to be racist” does no good, just like calling someone any insulting name and then saying “no offense intended.”
The idea of defeating a black President with a Great White Hope cannot be seen any other way.
Okpulot Taha, you have some learning to do about about normal social graces.
Jeremy and Marty, you claim this expression “great white hope” to be racist because you want this to be a racial slur to legitimize your complaining. You are simply engaging in deceit to satiate your personal agenda.

The simple fact is that the GOP is the Party of racism and the White Supremacists, just as the Fox Network is the media outlet for racists and hate-mongers.
Any member of the GOP who does not want to be viewed as a racist has to be extra careful to avoid *any* reference to color (except possibly to the Blue Man Group) because any person who is capable of rational thought *will* interpret color references as racist; the GOP has demonstrated their racist policies and even supported terrorists, as long as those terrorists were White.
My wife is part Irish and part Creek; I’m a Heinz 57 of European ancestry; we both see the GOP and the racist policies of the GOP for what they are.
And like Jeffries, your “great white hope” may very well get his ass knocked out too. LOL!
And like Jeffries, your “great white hope” may very well get his tail knocked out too.
