“Coconut” Slur… More Racism from the Left, But It Was on the Joy Behar Show, So No One Was Watching (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on February 24, 2010
Leftwing, loudmouth race baiter Joy Behar permitted guest Donny Deutsch to call a Republican Hispanic a 'coconut'
Left-wing zealot Joy Behar, that delightfully brain-deficient driblet of the shrewish liberal nightmare The View, has done it again on cable TV. Not that anyone was watching, of course.
A nasty racial slur made by CNBC commentator Donny Deutsch was permitted to air on her likely-to-be-cancelled talk show… no one should be surprised. About the vulgar show’s imminent cancellation OR the racism from the left.
Someone needs to buy these racist liberals a mirror so that they can take a long, hard look at themselves and their self-important, condescending racism… but they’d probably primp and preen, so never mind.
From Another Black Conservative, Contributor from the very WHITE MSNBC calls Marco Rubio “a coconut”:
Well, what do you know; more racial insensitivity from the tolerance crowd. As a black conservative, this does not surprise me in the least bit. Whenever a minority dares to step off the White Liberal Plantation, all the rules of racial sensitivity goes right out the window and their inner racism is set free. The timing for Donnie Deutsche’s comment could not come at a better time, as so many people are starting to notice the whiteness of MSNBC, thanks to Keith Olbermann.
Deutsche calling Rubio a coconut is the equivalent of him calling a black person an Oreo (i.e. they are acting white). In other words, unless a minority follows the white liberal agenda, they are being traitors to their race.
From Michelle Malkin, The old “coconut” smear: Another white liberal bigmouth with race issues:
Quick primer for those of you unfamiliar with the “coconut” insult:
If you are a conservative with Latino/Pacific Islander/Filipino heritage, you’re a coconut (brown on the outside, white on the inside).
If you are a conservative with Asian heritage, you’re a Twinkie or banana (yellow on the outside, white on the inside).
And if you are a conservative who happens to be black, you are an Oreo (black on the outside, white on the inside).
Okay, who is getting hungry?

Update: My great blogger friend and fellow coconut Val Prieto at Babalu (who I had a pleasure to meet in person last week in D.C. at a blogger bash) has an update on the story — Donny Deutsch is now playing dumb. Not that it’s such a great stretch…
Here’s the direct link to Deutsch’s Tweet. Sure, of all the words to come out of his mouth, “coconut” just happened to roll off the bitter tongue…
From Northern Thoughts and Reflections, The Regressive Progressives; Liberal racism at its ugliest:
Appearing on the Joy Behar Show, Deutsch let his true colurs show during a conversation with the show’s host about the nature of politicians and how for someone to be successful, they should be a “blank sheet of paper”. Behar didn’t question, nor even flinch at the use of the racial slur (but Black Friday is racist Joy?), begging the question of whether or not such language is common place when the cameras are off. What does one say about this kind of behaviour? There is a lot someone can say about Marco Rubio, that he is a young up and commer within the Republican Party, that he is an unknown and very much untested, but I can tell you that the first thing going through my head isn’t “he’s a Republican coconut”. Is he a “race traitor” too Deutsch?
From Hot Air:
Rubio should consider himself lucky: Yesterday at The Root, Clarence Thomas got lumped in with Mugabe, Idi Amin, and the D.C. Sniper as black men so monstrously embarrassing to their race that history would have been better off without them. Looking forward to Rubes inevitably ending up on the left’s Cuban version of the same list, along with Batista and … well, anyone but Castro.
If you’re searching for a silver lining here, consider this evidence that Rubio really has arrived as a national figure. You’ll know he’s presidential timber when blackface photoshops of him start showing up on nutroots blogs.
From Fire Andrea Mitchell!, MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch – Like, you know, this coconut Marco Rubio down in Florida:
Surely this isn’t racist or anti-Semitic since a pile of steam liberal progressive filth Donny Douche, err excuse me Donny Deutsch said it. Add to the fact that Deutsch, who happens to be a MSNBC contributor (big shock) said it on the Joy Behar show on HLN. This story, which I first read over at Newsbusters found that both the New York Times and Urban Dictionary define as a coconut as a “person who is tan on the outside” and “white on the inside.” Marco Rubio is the son of Cuban exiles. Michelle Malkin has had experiences with this insult as well.
From Scared Monkeys, Liberal Racism:Donny Deutsch Smears FL Republican Senate Candidate Marco Rubio With Racially Charged Attack, “He’s a ‘Coconut”:
So it’s the Republican and Tea Party members that are racists, eh?
…Of course the liberal Deutsch tried to weasel his way of of his racist comment by posting the following on Twitter. However, Weasel Zippers took him to task.
UPDATE: 2010-02-23 18:20 Deutsch responded on his Twitter page: “I said ‘coconut’ meaning simple, goofy, bananas…wasn’t even aware it could be a racially charged word.”
Just like a typical liberal to call others racist when they might need to take a good look in the mirror. Just before acting like a racist, Deutsch accused others of being the very same.
Ironically, just seconds after calling Rubio a coconut, Deutsch lashed out against tea partiers, slamming them as racist: “No, they’re angry- they’re basically- their argument is- and I think there’s a lot of racism underneath it- is- ‘He, they, are taking your civil liberties away. They’re stomping on the Constitution. They’re telling us how many bullets we can have in our guns.’”

About the author
You sure seem bent out of shape about a TV show you claim “no one was watching.” And then you added the video!
Ah, yes; right-wing “logic” at its finest! Straight from the Malkin/Palin School of Indignant Hysteria.
Raygun, you’re hilarious. As I’ve explained before, I’ve watched MANY clips of her show on YouTube, as have other conservatives who want to stay on top of what left-wing bigots and statists in the media are doing… being ignorant is a left-wing thing, buttercup. They rely on Team Obama’s spinmeisters and Media Matters to spoon-feed them leftist rhetoric and socialist agendas. I prefer to go to the leftist source to form my own opinions. And I did — hence, the video for others to also form their own opinions.
I know, it’s that DARNED right-wing logic again… liberals despise facts and evidence, and in this case, the video speaks for itself. Racist slur made by liberal racist from MSNBC on liberal talk show with idiot statist loudmouth host… can’t get any more basic than THAT, buddy boy.
But HEY, maybe you’re right! No one should not be upset over the casual, no-biggie racism at Joy’s place or on MSNBC, which I also don’t watch except on YouTube. I’m reading into this that you believe racism is OK if it’s a leftist using a racist slur, right, Raygun? Liberals can be as racist or race baiting as they want (look at Democrat Sen. Harry Reid), and there should be no outcry, huh? However, what if Rush Limbaugh or Megyn Kelly or Mark Levin had said this, called a liberal Latino a “coconut” or an Asian a “banana” or a black an “Oreo”? You’d be one of the first to get your disingenuous panties in a dithering knot. LOL – liberal hypocrite troll.
Thanks for the laughs. And thank you for the lovely compliment of comparing me to Malkin and Palin. You on the other hand, are more like Contessa “I Am a Shameless Race Baiter with a Poodle Name” Brewer.
“Statist.” Is that your fringe-right Word of the Week?
Seems to be a popular one in your closed-off l’il echo chamber.
And “facts and evidence?” From CONSERVATIVES?????? You drooling tools don’t even believe in science!
But thanks for the unintended humor–keep it comin’! Palin 2012!
Ha!
Yawn.
We don’t believe in science? From what leftist “Obama Worship” pamphlet did you find that load of horse puckies? ROFL – you’re SO cracking me up today… definitely a George Soros/Keith Olbermann sheep. I cite scientific journals all the time on this blog. Myriad conservative bloggers do… you’ve got to quit drinking the Obama kool-aid, buckeroo, stop relying exclusively on left-wing distortionists at MSNBC for your paltry information.
If you’re talking about the bogus IPCC “AGW junk science” that nations are suddenly backing away from, the exposés of all the fraud and manipulation and compromised data and non-peer reviewed conclusions to support the bogus global warming scam, you’re right. I don’t support it. Because it’s fake science… it has also been exposed as a huge hoax, and there’s plenty of scientists who are under investigation for this now – the IPCC is unraveling as is its credibility. Dr. Phil Jones is really on the hot plate this week – he admitted that there is NO data to corroborate that global warming has existed for the past 15 years (bet Media Matters/the MSM didn’t reveal that to you, right? They withhold any information from their sheep that doesn’t support their agenda – like the nationwide strike in Greece this week, because socialism has bankrupted the country). Yes, Dr. Jones confessed, and also has become suicidal.
Members of Congress are also petitioning that they see the EPA’s CO2 findings that supposedly “prove” that carbon dioxide, an innocuous by-product of BREATHING and a necessity for growth of flora, is a toxin and needs to be taxed to kingdom come (no legitimate science here, just another taxation scheme). They have not produced the proof to their claim, to their “science.” And that is an imperative in any technical or scientific field that relies on data, theories, conclusions… you can’t just pick and choose what you want to use in order for the result to become what you want it to be. Although, in the Age of Obama, that obviously is not much of an issue. But the integrity of the global warming science has been compromised, thus, by association, making other scientific areas also suspect for “fudging” data in order to get the results they desire.
Check out JunkScience.com or Watt’s Up with That? for updates on the IPCC scandal. Oops, sorry – those are sites that use science. Global warming sheep don’t want facts… they want to save polar bears. Which has been scientifically proven to be at FIFTY year record highs. Greenpeace and the IPCC cooked those polar bear numbers, too – they have both admitted it, before you freak out.
Next thing you know, you’ll be claiming that conservatives, not liberals, are responsible for Obama’s disaster as a progressive/socialist president. It’s OK… you were told to think that by the liberal media. Not fact-based, but it’s still obvious that some liberals desperately want to absolve Obama from any blame, missteps, lies, errors… they’d have to admit they were fooled into believing he was a god or something. When George W. Bush made mistakes, most Republicans acknowledged it and took him to task for it; when Obama makes mistakes, most Democrats become angry children, close their eyes, stuff their fingers in their ears, and start humming “We Are The Champions” or “You’re So Vain.” Because they can’t bear the thought that Obama is a screw-up.
P.S.: Raygun, you just keep making me laugh! Thanks again for coming in. You’ve spiced up my day.
I’ve been using the term “statist” for quite a long time now. Go ahead and do a search. Really hit a nerve with you, huh? Well, GOOD. It’s obviously not in your limited vocabulary arsenal. And no, it’s not complimentary, but it is indeed accurate.
My “Echo chamber” – yeah, because I never let liberals like yourself post liberal comments. Another ROFL… I dare you to try to post pro-conservative comments on most left-wing blogs. Believe me, I’ve tried, and 97 times out of 100, they are not posted. But if I used gutter language and attacked Sarah Palin’s baby, THAT would be posted.
Or if I wrote something vile and racist against Clarence Thomas, Alfonzo Rachael, Michelle Malkin, William E. Williams, Michael Steele, Lloyd Marcus, or Thomas Sowell, THAT would be posted. No one should ever get a free pass because of his or her race, nor should anyone be attacked because of his or her race. Character and actions should matter more, but to many left-wingers, it doesn’t. They have stereotyped minorities and women, and if either break out of that racist/sexist stereotype, they will be vilified beyond recognition — if they have to really dig for dirt, no problem — if they have to make up lies, no problem.
Oh, BTW: what if “…Limbaugh..had said this (?)” He does. Everyday. Calls health care “reparations.” Calls Obama the “Magic Negro.” Plays the race card every single day.
That drug addict has so many problems he makes Ann Coulter look (almost) clean and sober.
Yes, Limbaugh has referred to Obama as “The Magic Negro”. He was referring to the parody song that was written about Barack Obama’s charm and charisma stealing the limelight from Al Sharpton, which he has played a few times and was titled… wait for it… “The Magic Negro.” And the “magic” term was also used in January by Burris from Illinois. You’re taking it out of context on purpose, and are not addressing what MSNBC commentator Deustch said about a Latino Republican candidate being a “coconut.”
Bringing up Limbaugh’s former prescription addiction is lame and non-sequitor, but typical of leftists… also old news. What does that have to do with the racist slur this post was about? BTW – what’s your feeling on Obama’s illegal substance problems in college? That’s probably OK with you, the leader of our nation taking illegal recreational drugs, but a previous prescription addiction from a radio entertainer, who can’t influence or impact your life through government mandates or laws, is simply horrible to you. Obama chose to do illegal drugs – this becomes an integrity and moral dilemma. Limbaugh had a LEGAL prescription for painkillers, and as it happens to many people, pain medication can become addicting. He didn’t choose to get hooked on pain meds, but Obama chose to sneak around and buy illegal drugs from a drug dealer. You probably are too obtuse to see the difference, or too enamored with Obama to make an effort. Hilarious. And again, hypocritical.
And the term “reparations” is racist now? I had no idea. I had an employer who made reparations to me many years ago… should I have been offended, Raygun? Was he being a racist to me? How is this racist in reference to government-mandated health care? You’re being vague here – I have no idea what you’re talking about. When did Limbaugh say this? I listen to his show 2-3 times a week, and have obviously missed this. Summarize what he was talking about… I’ve never heard Limbaugh say ANYTHING that is a racist comment, but if you did hear him, and as you said, you listen to him every day and he says racist things every day, then let me know the “what” and “when” of it. I have access to his show’s transcripts for three weeks, so I can check any day in the last 21 to see if you’re telling the truth. However… a liberal commentator calling a Republican Latino a “coconut” on TV is NOT a racist? You libs have far too many rules about who can and cannot use certain language, but it boils down to liberals whipping out the racist card anytime the president or his agenda is criticized (not so much anymore, since that was overdone). Limbaugh can’t say “reparations” but Donnie Deustch can call a Hispanic a “coconut.” I think I understand your naive hypocrisy now. You have no concept of how demeaning tokenism is, nor realize that spewing racist comments at a non-liberal is NOT OK because you can barely swallow back your own racist thoughts that linger for liberal minorities, but are validated when conservatives are hit with them.
So… you’re coming across as being A-OK with calling a Hispanic a coconut or a black an Oreo… is that an accurate summation? Because that’s the bottom line here. You have conspicuously not said that what Deustch said was good, bad, or status quo – you’ve brought up irrelevant issues to deflect from his “coconut” slur, and are avoiding the elephant in the room. Just want to know how honest you will be with your racism/bigotry and liberals’ double standard on it.
Masterful troll disposal my friend.
Raygun needs to pick his targets more carefully, HA!
Their tactics are always the same, isolate, ridicule, destroy.
I really enjoyed that.
