'Watching a black guy get arrested is the funniest thing ever:' Nevada congressman's son tweets racist and sexist remarks and refers to President Obama as a 'slave'
A Nevada congressman has apologized for his son's racist and sexist tweets, in which he repeatedly refers to women as 'sluts' and 'whores' who belong in the kitchen and calls President Obama a 'slave' who is only good at 'spear chucking and rock skipping.'
Joey Heck, 16, is the son of Republican Joe Heck. Among the younger Heck's more than 3,000 tweets, he brags about having insider knowledge of Congress and national security, he ridicules women, refers to homosexuals as 'f*****s' and calls black people 'n***as.'
The high school student tweeted on March 21, 'If you're a guy and you cross your legs and swing your foot... You're gay.'
On Jan 2 he said, 'Watching a black guy get arrested = funniest thing ever.'
Around the same time, he retweeted a message by user '@DictatorHitler' that said,'#IGotAThingFor blonde hair, blues eyes.... Mmm Mmm Mmmm #AryanPride.'
He called a girl a 'Mormon' for stating that she disliked oral sex and joked during a Jets football game that '[Mark] Sanchez can hop the border faster than he can throw the ball.'
On August 23 he retweeted a message that read: 'There are gays everywhere. Maybe that's gods way of thinning out the population because f****ts can't have babies.'

Those are wonderful family values. Yup, the kid is old enough, but he learned that at home.
Oh 
for those that might need it
Which was lighthearted ("I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair..."
in many respects, but did have a theme of racism as well, owing to a romance between one of the island lasses and one of the caucasian fellers, and the relationship between the female lead and her romantic counterpart, a widower with mixed race children. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Pacific_(musical)
South Pacific is a musical composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and book by Hammerstein and Joshua Logan. The work premiered in 1949 on Broadway and was an immediate hit, running for 1,925 performances. The story is based on James A. Michener's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1947 book Tales of the South Pacific, combining elements of several of the stories. Rodgers and Hammerstein believed that they could write a work based on Michener's work that would be financially successful and, at the same time, would send a strong progressive message on racism.
The plot centers on an American nurse stationed on a South Pacific island during World War II who falls in love with a middle-aged expatriate French plantation owner but struggles to accept his mixed-race children. A secondary romance, between a U.S. lieutenant and a young Tonkinese woman, explores his fears of the social consequences should he marry his Asian sweetheart. The issue of racial prejudice is candidly explored throughout the musical, most controversially in the lieutenant's song, "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught". Supporting characters, including a comic petty officer and the Tonkinese girl's mother, help to tie the stories together. Because he lacked military knowledge, Hammerstein had difficulty writing that part of the script; the director of the original production, Logan, assisted him and received credit as co-writer of the book.
They made a movie of it (where the clip comes from). It's worth a watch, it holds up fairly well if you view in the context of the era...!
I think it's much better than Carousel.
We performed South Pacific at my high school way back in 1970.
I was playing first violin in the "black hole"-- the pit orchestra.
Lieutenant Cable is fabulous. He's not sure he wants to be a lawyer like his dad. He also sings "Younger than Springtime". 
Trivia: Operatic bass Ezio Pinza originally sang the role of Emile de Becque on Broadway. He was famous for his Don Giovanni, among other roles.
From 1949, when Mr. Pinza was 57 years old!!! 
Some Enchanted Evening:
Love the way he "floats" the pianissimos on the last two phrases "Never let her go". Wonderful subtlety.
Pictures (and twitter posts) can sometimes speak a 1000 words.
black folk are good at rock skipping? I thought that was a Mayberry-type thing
The people that are racist are constantly, constantly, constantly looking to make jokes and snark and other comments to like-minded people that appreciate such things. It reinforces among the community their opinions and sets in stone not only the though processes, but the social acceptance of such things into perpetuity.
Racists have race on the brain; they see everything through a racial filter. Same thing with sexists and homophobes.
They are like the boorish guy who tries to turn everything into a sex joke. "I'd like to see her download something, if you know what I mean!"
And it's all a cover-up for their own insecurities. They have to live in this bubble of being able to constantly find an oblique racists, or sexist, or homophobic comment to tweet about because they're really afraid of competing without the inherent advantage that white straight men have.
Disgusting fucker. 
Oh, please . . . There's no "may" about it, Congressman!
"My son also apologizes for his insensitive behavior."
Has this "apology" been posted anywhere? Hey, Congressman, do you think we're stupid? You think we can't recognize insincerity when we see it? Your spoiled punk son spoke out of what fills his heart. I wonder where he got that from? 
"My wife and I have addressed this family matter directly with him and he has learned from it."
Yeah, I bet you have. I'm sure you've taught him the value of public relations.
None of this (including the Flake flake) surprises me. During the 1960s I grew up in one of the most conservative Republican Congressional districts in this country; namely, the one that was briefly represented by George Bush The First. I know what these people are like.
People aren't born full of hate. It's taught to them.
A typical douchebag son of Republican politician. Its second time in less than five days for the sons of Republicans to insult the black people. Republican daddies had to apologize for their sons' slurs but they haven't apologized directly to the black community at all.
Embarrassing...
