When I disagree with Obama I am, they say.<\/p>\n<p>MITCHELL: Congressman, does he have a point?<\/p>\n<p>CUMMINGS: I don\u2019t know. My parents left South Carolina many, many years ago, back in the 1940s because they wanted a better life for themselves in Baltimore. Racism has been with me all my life, I think will continue to be. Was it racist here? I don\u2019t know. Maureen Dowd says it was, certainly Jimmy Carter. But I think we have to move on.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Maureen Dowd? You know, I thought she\u2019d be hanging around on that limb by herself. You lie, boy. Instead the whole DC amen chorus picked it up, and they got even stupider with it than she did. Now, I\u2019m kind of stunned with everything I said about Jimmy Carter being the national hemorrhoid and stuff, that they pulled that quote. Next up is Bill Cosby. Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, talking to Bill Cosby, she says, &#8216;Rush Limbaugh and others just yesterday, again today &#8211;&#8216; talking about race, &#8216;&#8211; said it\u2019s Obama\u2019s America, is it not? Obama\u2019s America, white kids getting beat up on school buses now. This is because of one instance where kids were arguing, white and black, over who sits where. Does the culture right now with this kind of talk radio and talk television, does this add to the volume, the velocity and the racial anger that we at least hear expressed?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>COSBY: It doesn\u2019t surprise me what Rush Limbaugh says. I said from the very day that people were hammering me because I was talking about our black children, some of them coming out of the schools yelling and cursing and their behavior, et cetera, et cetera. At an NAACP meeting at Howard University they were also concerned that people the likes of a Rush Limbaugh were going to find out these terrible things. Well, these people say this &#8212; they say it anyway. And then I said, &#8216;What difference does it make? They\u2019ve always thought about us in this manner anyway.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, this is kind of convoluted because I have praised Cosby. Cosby has taken all kinds of hits because he has chided certain black parents for not doing a good job. So we cite him on this and he\u2019s taken a lot of hits. I mean the NAACP took some hits at him and so forth. Bill Cosby and I have more agreement on these things than he would probably know. But anyway, that\u2019s out there. Then they continued, and Cosby said this.<\/p>\n<p>COSBY: Their foremothers and forefathers thought this, and these people, if they\u2019re not racists, then their behavior was that similar to the D.W. Griffiths movie. If that\u2019s not it, then they must be working for the insurance company or for the drug companies.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, now we\u2019re getting into incoherence, and out of respect for Mr. Cosby I will cease playing any more. Now it\u2019s just descending into nonsensical stuff. I don\u2019t even know what he\u2019s talking about. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, on her show this afternoon, she interviewed Representative Elijah Cummings, Democrat, Maryland, member of the Congressional Black Caucus and this is part of the exchange.
