Democrats:The Party of Racism and Their Racist Presidential Candidate, Barack Obama

I have come to realize that truth has come to matter little to too many Americans. I certainly wasn’t aware of the racist history of the Democratic Party until Obama came onto the scene and made race the issue of an election that by all sane measures should have centered on the border, drilling, immigration, the war with Islam,our sovereignty as a nation – for starters. But it seems that at least half of this country is willing to remain ignorant of the truth, and that will damn us all.

The Democrats’ Missing History

As Democrats prepare to nominate Sen. Barack Obama to be the first black president, the Democratic National Committee and its chairman, Howard Dean, have whitewashed the party’s horrific and lengthy record of racism. The omission is in the section of the DNC Web site that describes the party’s history. The missing history raises the obvious question of whether the Democrats, unable or simply unwilling to put their party on record as taking direct responsibility for one of the worst racial crimes of the ages, will be able to run a campaign free of the racial animosities it has regularly brought both to American presidential campaigns and American political and social life in general.
[...]
n a stroke, 52 years of Democratic history vanishes. Disappeared faster than the truth in the Clinton administration. Why would this be? Allow me to sketch in a few facts from those missing 52 years. For that matter, lets add in the facts from the party history before and after those 52 years, since they aren’t mentioned by the Democrats’ National Committee either.

So what’s missing?

• There is no reference to the number of Democratic Party platforms supporting slavery. There were six from 1840 through 1860.
• There is no reference to the number of Democratic presidents who owned slaves. There were seven from 1800 through 1861
• There is no reference to the number of Democratic Party platforms that either supported segregation outright or were silent on the subject. There were 20, from 1868 through 1948.
• There is no reference to “Jim Crow” as in “Jim Crow laws,” nor is there reference to the role Democrats played in creating them. These were the post-Civil War laws passed enthusiastically by Democrats in that pesky 52-year part of the DNC’s missing years. These laws segregated public schools, public transportation, restaurants, rest rooms and public places in general (everything from water coolers to beaches). The reason Rosa Parks became famous is that she sat in the “whites only” front section of a bus, the “whites only” designation the direct result of Democrats.
• There is no reference to the formation of the Ku Klux Klan, which, according to Columbia University historian Eric Foner, became “a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party.” Nor is there reference to University of North Carolina historian Allen Trelease’s description of the Klan as the “terrorist arm of the Democratic Party.”
• There is no reference to the fact Democrats opposed the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution. The 13th banned slavery. The 14th effectively overturned the infamous 1857 Dred Scott decision (made by Democratic pro-slavery Supreme Court justices) by guaranteeing due process and equal protection to former slaves. The 15th gave black Americans the right to vote.

Please continue reading, at this link,  the facts that have not only been expunged from the Democratic website, but from textbooks as well.

What follows is a list of articles that will provide more than you will ever read in the mainstream press, provided by the National Black Republican Association  in their newsletter linked at the end.

Lewis, A Lazy Media, And Their Race Cards By Bob Parks shows just how predictable the Democrats are in playing the race card when he wrote: “The only question I have for Congressman John Lewis is, ‘What took you so long?”"

WSJ – The Democrats’ Missing History By Jeffery Lord

WSJ – Whitewash – The racist history the Democratic Party wants you to forget by Bruce Bartlett

The claim that all of the racist Democrats became Republicans is false. The racist Democrats that Republican Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was fighting died as Democrats.

Democrats refuse to apologize to blacks By Frances Rice

Today, Democrats continue to practice vile racism against black Republicans. Our “Open Letter to Obama from Black Republicans“ calls upon Sen. Obama to apologize for his party’s past and present racism.

Will Republicans Wimp Out On Race? By Clarence V. McKee challenges Republican leaders to stand up to this predictable, election year race baiting by Democrats.

Exterminate White People

How the hell do morons like this get any airtime on C-Span? This seems to me to be a flavor of Jeremiah Wright’s doctrine. The YouTuber who posted this is just as ignorant and foul as the freak who is raving about “whitey”, so I’d avoid visiting unless verbal porn is your thing.

I realize this type of rant knows no ethnicity. All human hearts are capable of advocating genocide and extermination. I post it just because I have grown so damn sick of hearing and reading that only “whitey” is capable of racism. The KKK has withered into an ineffectual hodgepodge of good old boys because whites weren’t buying it. I would hope the black community would treat the Kambon Kambous of the world with the same contempt and disdain.

Hank in the Tank, A Marine Against the Wall, Jews Against Obama, and Dark Skin

Effluent at No Mans Blog ponders Tom Hanks being “In the Tank for Obama”

…Hanks imply that it’s somehow imperative for America to elect an inexperienced one-term senator (with little to no foreign policy experience) to the office of President simply on the basis of his (black-ish) skin color? Is that what Hanks means? Because if it IS what he means, he’s a fucking lunatic.

Dramatic photos show a Marine’s narrow escape from death Sunday while facing insurgent gunfire in Afghanistan. The Marine, part of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), was exchanging gunfire with Taliban fighters near Garmser in Afghanistan’s Helmand Province when a Reuters photographer capturedthe soldier’s very close call.

A series of six photos show the Marine, wearing a T-shirt and fatigues but no combat helmet, ducking as insurgent gunfire tears through the top of a mud wall he’s using for cover. Remarkably, the Marine escaped the gunfight without injury. “The insurgents are finding that every time they engage with the Marines, they lose,” Col. Peter Petronzio, commander of the 24th MEU, said in a statement issued May 10.
MK’s Views has the rest of the story….

Jews Against Obama has some fine election fashion apparel to introduce to you to. From their site…

Fashion designer Doron Braunshtein (a.k.a. Apollo Braun) does not seem to care for Barack Hussein Obama. A little while ago, he came out with this sweatshirt

[..]

“I am a true anti-Obama New York Jew. The word on the street is that New York Jews will vote for McCain anyhow. The majority of the Jews – at least the ones that are proud of their religion and practice it – like me, don’t want to see Obama – a man who’s middle name is Hussein, and his family from his Kenyan father’s side is Muslim, as the leader of this great country.

Aurora ponders an unpopular free speech case, taking note of the new nuances of “racism”….

The Dutch authorities have arrested the cartoonist Gregorius Nekschot (a pseudonym. Nekschot means deathblow, litt: “shot in the back of the neck” [An interview with Nekschot here]). The judicial authorities in Amsterdam said yesterday that the cartoonist was arrested as a suspect for the criminal offense of “publishing cartoons which are discriminating for Muslims and people with dark skin.”

Back up there…discriminating for Muslims and people with dark skin? There are Muslims and there are people with dark skin. One is a biological, genetic identity and one is a choice of belief. When we criticize extremist Muslims who saw off people’s heads and rape small children, we are not attacking anyone’s skin colour, nor anybody living quietly minding their own business. This is about a sober-minded resistance to the breakdown of our society by destroyers of any ideology. How dare they lump in an aversion to dark skin with my legitimate aversion to and criticism of an influx of ideologies into our societies which will destroy us from the inside.
If Nekschot is being arrested on a certain precedental ‘hate speech’ complaint, (despite his gutter-level humor), shame on the Dutch police and for the lawmakers who are trying to make all of us sound like mindless racists by slipping in the ‘dark skin’ phrase. This is going to pave the way for other critics such as you and I to be arrested on the same pretexts.

Worth Quoting

I love comments and this one deserves it’s own post. Thank you LL.

After reading this post, and so many others these past few weeks, I’ve come to the conclusion that Obama cannot lose. Oh, he might lose the election, but what he represents for America will claim victory regardless.Let’s say that the progressives, represented by Obama, do lose the general election. What’s their response going to be? Racism. That old worn out saw is going to be paraded again throughout the social conscience of America. Is it a lie? Yes, but what does the truth have to do with it?

Let’s say that the progressives win the general election, then what? They’ll make a claim of moral victory as they throw the country into sociological tailspin, pushing every left wing agenda they can imagine starting with legislation and the federal court systems. It’s easy to blame the eunuch’s of the GOP, the extreme ranting of the progressives (Kos Kids), the socialist mindset of our universities, the Islamic invasion happening world wide for the past 40 years, the failure of the Christian church to actually believe/act upon the Word of God (Bible), the economy or last nights pizza. I’m sure all have had some effect, there’s enough blame for everyone to get a ’super-sized portion’, but blame is not the issue. The world is about to change, drastically.

As I set here listening to NPR news and the propaganda they’re shoveling today, I wonder how we’ll look back on the first decade of this millennium. Will Americans accept the loss of their freedoms quietly like Europe has? Will we become a bunch of whiners like the Islamic’s have and reconquer our freedoms through legal manipulation? Bullets are not the answer, but a groundswell of indignation from the vast silent majority would change things.

One final point: Were you aware that during the American Revolution less than 1/3 of men of fighting age actually fought in those battles long ago? And what did they accomplish? They kicked the ASS of the greatest military power of the age!!! It’s not a good thing to make America angry, eh? Why do you think Osama hasn’t attacked a second time? My guess is the next attack is going to ring America’s bell – or – that will be his intent.

UN Here to Rescue Poor Little Old Barack Obama From Racist Americans

From LGF:

Coming to the rescue of Barack Obama—the United Nations “Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance,” to expose the bigotry and racism of the United States: U.N. racism investigator to visit U.S. from Monday.

I know it is useless to imagine that Barack Hussein Obama owns a pair of balls, but if he did, he would dis-invite this two bit race huckster, Mr. Caca Doudou Diene, and while his foot is kicking this meddling euro-trash out the door, he could remind the fool that America has done more for so-called civil rights than any nation on earth. That Bush has designated billions for AIDS in Africa, that he himself is an example of how a black man can be chosen as a stooge for Soros as a presidential contender, that slavery began by Arabs and Africans 1000 years before whitey ever thought about it, was ended by the West, that Mr. Caca Doudou can just turn his odoriferous self right around and investigate some real racism as currently practiced in the Middle East.

But then, Barack Obama doesn’t believe that, does he? Remember, neither Obama nor his wretched wife are proud to be Americans. Obama has been living and breathing Marxism and loony black liberation theology all of his life. See, Obama believes America is racist and must do penance. And we haven’t even heard much about reparations yet. Don’t worry, it’s coming.

At any rate, he’d probably get in trouble with Michelle for defending America. It is quite apparent that she suffers under the delusion that she is somehow still oppressed. Yeah, all of our oppressed blacks in America make 350K a year.

In fact, my guess is that Michelle will volunteer to be Mr. Caca’s Doudou’s tour guide. Rev. Wright will host the scumbag in his 10 million dollar mansion (in a typical white racist neighborhood), and Michael Moore will film the tour.

And you are thinking of voting “progressive”??? Because that group of self-flagellating globalist scalawags are more than happy to throw this country under the UN bus and into the maws of some International Court. ReProgressives are just begging to be spanked to assuage all their hand wringing “guilt”. They aren’t in the least offended that America’s sovereignty is weakened in each instance that they grant the UN even an implied right to meddle in our affairs. And they will be more than happy to overlook the gross hypocrisy that this bloody UN lackey hales from Senegal, a nation rife with “human rights” violations and awash in the blood of mutilated female genitalia.

A commenter at LGF points out that in Senegal…

…the Government, at times, limited the freedoms of speech and association. Domestic violence and discrimination against women, female genital mutilation (FGM), child labor and trafficking in persons remained problems.

And I won’t even begin to speculate which asshole in the State Department allows this travesty. Who ever it is should be shot, but then, the entire State Department deserves to be lined up against the wall.
Perhaps Mr. Caca Doudou ought to start his “racism” investigation with Mr. Obama himself. “Barack’s Obama’s Forgotten People” makes my point…

Hey Obama, Did You Miss all of the Imans Preaching Death to Jews and Christians Too?

I’m curious Obama, given you have invested so little scrutiny into a twenty year relationship with your spiritual advisor Jeremiah Wright, what will be your excuse when jihad goes down in America during your watch? That you didn’t know that Islam teaches annihilation of the West?

There are literally thousands upon thousands of Islamic doctrines and treatises testifying to their ultimate goal of caliphate, but I imagine that the liberation theology that you are undeniably steeped in omitted mentioning the enmity of Islam towards the West. What I fear from you Obama is that our enemy’s rhetoric somehow fails to set off any alarms, just like Pastor Wright’s rhetoric is below your radar. But here are two quotes, by way of example.

“In reality Islam is a revolutionary ideology and programme which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals. ‘Muslim’ is the title of that International Revolutionary Party organized by Islam to carry into effect its revolutionary programme. And ‘Jihad’ refers to that revolutionary struggle and utmost exertion which the Islamic Party brings into play to achieve this objective.”
–Sayeed Abdul A’la Maududi, Jihad in Islam p8

“Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is to set up a State on the basis of its own ideology and programme, regardless of which Nation assumes the role of the standard bearer of Islam or the rule of which nation is undermined in the process of the establishment of an ideological Islamic State.”
–Sayeed Abdul A’la Maududi, Jihad in Islam p9

from…Islamist Watch.org

Whatever has distracted you from hearing the words of your preacher and other militant supporters may have also served to distract you from digging up some basic Islamic tenets regarding blacks. It seems silly to suggest to a man of your indoctrination education that you do a few googles, but hey, you’re distracted, right?

I’d suggest that you may want to read up a bit before you go into a group hug with those enemies of America who do not disavow their own spiritual leaders with as much as ease as you do.

Ishaq:243
“I heard the Apostle say: ‘Whoever wants to see Satan should look at Nabtal!’ He was a black man with long flowing hair, inflamed eyes, and dark ruddy cheeks…. Allah sent down concerning him: ‘To those who annoy the Prophet there is a painful doom.” [9:61] “Gabriel came to Muhammad and said, ‘If a black man comes to you his heart is more gross than a donkey’s.’”

Tabari II:11
“Shem, the son of Noah was the father of the Arabs, the Persians, and the Greeks; Ham was the father of the Black Africans; and Japheth was the father of the Turks and of Gog and Magog who were cousins of the Turks. Noah prayed that the prophets and apostles would be descended from Shem and kings would be from Japheth. He prayed that the African’s color would change so that their descendants would be slaves to the Arabs and Turks.”

Tabari II:21
“Ham [Africans] begat all those who are black and curly-haired, while Japheth [Turks] begat all those who are full-faced with small eyes, and Shem [Arabs] begat everyone who is handsome of face with beautiful hair. Noah prayed that the hair of Ham’s descendants would not grow beyond their ears, and that whenever his descendants met Shem’s, the latter would enslave them.”

from…

Prophet of Doom

Or take it from an activist closer to your own political persuasion, Quanell X, who has, temporarily, seen the light:

He said the change began about six years ago when he came face to face with racism within the Muslim community. After helping to organize a pro-Palestinian protest at the Israeli consulate in Houston, he discovered that some Palestinian protest leaders were not happy that an African-American Muslim would play such a visible role. The source of their discomfort was the color of his skin.

“It was almost like somebody had taken two electrical currents and stuck them to me and touched me. It shook me,” he said. “I grew up believing that racism did not exist among Muslims. … I grew up believing that whenever I saw a Muslim, he would see me as his brother … no matter where he was from or what racial background he came from, or what race or group of people he belonged to.”

That led him first to depression and disillusionment, then to a period of education and enlightenment. He said he found out that racism has existed in the Muslim world since its earliest days, and that Muslims played a role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. [bold added] (by author)

Pastor Jeremiah Wright, the New Black Panthers and Barack Hussein Obama

Certainly one can not condemn a candidate for the few whackos who might support them. But Obama’s natural constituency represents more than a few crazies. They seem to embody the essence of racial bigotry, the same vile bigotry that perpetuated slavery to begin with.

The human heart is very much an empty canvas, regardless of what skin color sheathes the body that houses it. Blacks who think like Jeremy Wright seem to think that, somehow, their hearts are impervious to the racism that they for so long have accused whites of harboring. It would seem that Obama’s so-called pastor has promulgated the same type of loathing that the slave masters that he so abhors possessed.

Now Obama will no doubt equivocate about his “crazy uncle” -I think that is how he put it – but this isn’t an old man’s doddering fulminations, it is a long standing creed upon which Jeremiah Wright built his church. It is what he has hand fed his congregation and one of the willing members of that congregation has been, for many years, Barack Hussein Obama. Jeremiah Wright’s preaching would send any freedom loving American out the door in disgust. It is not the man you allow to baptize your children. Unless, of course, you agree with it.

It is no surprise that Obama married a woman who disdains America as much as Pastor Jeremiah Wright. It is no surprise that Michelle Obama’s Princeton thesis reeks of the same “justice” rhetoric as the belief system of the pastor that joined she and Obama in marriage. So it is no surprise that we find an endorsement from the New Black Panthers on Obama’s site.

It’s bad enough that our enemies loathe America. Do we really have to entertain the thought of electing a man who agrees with them.

Below the fold you will find “What the New Black Panthers Believe“, from their site. To see their endorsement appearing on Obama’s site, click the link or click the image to enlarge it.

Random Thoughts on "Racism"

Back in 2001 I had my political awakening to race-card politics duly blogged under the heading “Is This White Woman Racist and Does She Really Fucking Care”. This was in response to the so-called Cincinnati riots. (Here is the local media’s politically correct distortion of the events, and here is the correct assessment.) As I review those early posts I can trace my journey from someone who had absolutely no issues with any race or ethnicity to my present views on racism.

As a pre-teen, I was not a participant in any civil rights movement, wasn’t particularly aware of it, but never had any perception of blacks as inferior. I think what frightened me most, as I remember, was associating poverty with blacks. My mother, born shortly after her parents immigrated from Yugoslavia, was thrust into an orphanage at a young age and her dire tales of want and hardships chilled me as a child, leaving me far more wary of that particular condition, no matter what color skin bore witness to it.

It actually is very hard for me to think in terms of ethnicity. I have never felt need to make claim to my Romanian-Serbian roots nor lament the plight of my gypsy kin in Transylvania. My daddy grabbed his American name from a billboard and proceeded to move himself steadily up the economic ladder.

By the time I was born, he had turned his allotment of rags into riches, and I was, quite frankly, a spoiled little rich girl, without the attendant social status. I felt we had much in common with the Beverly Hillbillies. My dad may have known how to make a buck, but uneducated white men who sold cars for a living didn’t get much respect in the wealthy neighborhood I grew up in. And my dad, an independent cuss, could not have cared less. But there was never a moment in my life that I defined myself, or others, according to blood, skin or lineage.

Black men worked for my father at the dealership. He also hired them to cut our grass and paint our home. There wasn’t a disparaging word uttered by my parents. They were treated like any other contractor that came to the house.

I do have vague memories of the Cincinnati riots in 1966. Those were actual riots. I remember my dad getting the gun out of the safe. In retrospect, our neighborhood was so far from Cincinnati center that the likelihood of anyone driving out to do us rich folks harm was minimal. But he didn’t talk about shooting “niggers”. The word wasn’t in the home and my guess is he would have gotten the gun out no matter what race was having a riot.

But here’s the rub. It isn’t about civil rights anymore. It’s about victimhood. It’s not about equality. It’s about extortion. It’s not about unity. It’s about vengeance and pay back. Obama dresses it up with flourishes of pompous rhetoric and spices it with the incense of mysticism but it’s the same ole same ole race, entitlement and “justice” rhetoric that constituted “dialog” during the riots here in 2001.

When trying to debate racism in some local Cincinnati forums in the aftermath of the riots, I argued with one fellow accordingly.

…for those of you who claim to know the white man so damn well, I would counter, you better look again. You think you know the white race but, by virtue of your incessant self-obsession and constant caterwauling, you have failed to see you are dealing with a generation of white people who have, for the most part, from childhood on, stepped all over themselves trying not to offend a black person.

Should we say black, or is it negro, or now is it colored, oh, now it’s african-American – and god forbid you inadvertently say the frigging ‘N’ word lest everyone shatter like so many fragile humpty dumpties and we have another damn mess to clean up.

You’ve been insulting and alienating a generation of people who have taught their children to respect all people and immediately challenged REAL racist, behavior. A generation who has enjoyed and appreciated the appearance of more and more visible black performers, newscasters, journalists, analysts and personalities. Not as material for the purpose of caricaturing black people, as so often accused, but for the brilliant HUMAN talent there to be enjoyed.

And guess what? It wasn’t hard. Counter to what you appear to believe, there is no a cauldron of repressed black hatred lingering in the white heart. We don’t connive in small circles to make a black man’s day bad. There is no boogie man.

(original post)

The charge of racism today has become no more than a handy shibboleth intended to silence all criticism. It no longer holds weight with me. It is another word hollowed out of all meaning by the language re-framers on the left.

I finally quit attempting to communicate with the activists, but came away from the entire experience with a far more informed view on race and civil rights than ever supplied to me in school or via the PC media.

Below is the conclusion I reached in 2002 and it hasn’t changed in 2008. In fact, events in the intervening years have only strengthened my position. My guess is, the “unexpected consequences” of multiculturalism and political correctness that abets race-card politics has resulted in multitudes of Americans feeling about the same.

I began this venture trying to grasp what the perception of racism is and what I have found is this; because I ascribe to a particular set of principles and standards, because I adhere to a particular work ethic, because I disdain mewling dramatics and solipsism, because I demand accountability and responsibility…in other words, because of my values, I am deemed a racist.
So be it.
I am not going to cheapen my standards to accommodate some distorted version of civil rights. I’m not going to subscribe to a crippled social doctrine as define by malcontents just to appease the likes of you and your gang. Your quest for ‘equal treatment’ has served to lower the bar in every field of endeavor, but, I assure you, you will not continue with such chicanery. There are more more and more un-hyphenated Americans who know when to say the madness has gone on far too long.

(original post)

With Obama being teflon-ed from relevant criticism by his supporters it appears I will be visiting the topic of racism yet again. I’m not signing on to the Party of White Guilt.

Waiting for O’Donnell’s Scathing Denunciation of Obama’s Racism :::crickets chirping:::

This was the worst political speech of my lifetime. Because this man stood there and said to you “this is the faith of my fathers.” And you, and none of these commentators who liked this speech realized that the faith of his fathers is a racist faith. As of 1978 it was an officially racist faith, and for political convenience in 1978 it switched. And it said “OK, black people can be in this church.” He believes, if he believes the faith of his fathers, that black people are black because in heaven they turned away from God, in this demented, Scientology-like notion of what was going on in heaven before the creation of the earth.via NewsBusters

I can’t wait until little Larry applies his laser-like racism detector on Barak Obama. If there is anyone whose father’s faith disqualifies him, in my mind, as even a member of the Senate, let alone as president , it would be the man whose father and stepfather were Islamic, as well as a brother who just converted to Islam. (Yes, dear little liberal readers- Islam is a problem) But if it’s racism Mr. O’Donnell is so alarmed about, than where is his outcry about the racism that permeates Obama’s writings, family, history, and current church home.

Regarding Obama’s book “Dreams”, Steve Sailor, at The American Conservative, writes:

A racial group is a large extended family, and Obama’s book is primarily about his rejection of his supportive white maternal extended family in favor of his unknown black paternal extended family.

For the few willing to read all 442 pages, he offers important testimony about the enduring glamour of anti-white anger. It’s a bitter counterweight to the sunny hopes so widely invested in his candidacy as the man whose election as president would somehow help America finally “transcend race.”

In reality, Obama provides a disturbing test of the best-case scenario of whether America can indeed move beyond race.

[...]

Even his celebrated acceptance of Christianity in his mid-20s turns out to be an affirmation of African-American emotional separatism…..Obama falls under the spell of a leftist black nationalist preacher, Jeremiah A. Wright, who preaches African-American unity through antipathy toward whites. Reverend Wright remains a major influence on the presidential candidate.

Perhaps O’Donnell approves the inherent racism in the “afro-centricity” preached at Obama’s church, who proudly proclaim: “We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.” I do think I’d prefer a president who received his spiritual succor from a congregation that considered themselves to be an American people and who considered America the land to whom they would “be true”.

Sadly, it appears Obama’s maternal white blood conflicted him greatly. I can’t imagine what the collective white blood of this American nation will inspire.

“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites,” he wrote.

It is no surprise that he and Oprah have the same audience – an audience of dedicated victims, appeasers and self-flagellating guilty white folks.

Harris-Lacewell said such expressions of distrust toward whites will not hurt Obama in the Democratic presidential primaries, which are dominated by liberal voters.

“To win the Democratic nomination, he’s got to get a part of the progressive, anti-war, white folks,” she said. “And those white folks tend to be suspicious of any black person who wouldn’t be suspicious of white people.”

Such liberals would have little basis for suspicion after reading some of Obama’s conclusions about the white race, which he once described as “that ghostly figure that haunted black dreams.”

[...]

It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”

“Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.” Gee, what illustrious men. But essentially, they espoused a mixture of black supremacist and separatism, all cloaked in the unassailable and priestly robes of “civil rights activists”; socialist and communists all. But those intellectual fathers probably impress a guilty white man like O’Donnell. And I really do not give a damn about their politically correct resumes – these men certainly did not and do not possess “attributes” that I want in an American president. But Obama’s reverence for their words and actions certainly explains his inability to raise his hand to his heart during the pledge of allegiance to America. His allegiance is elsewhere.

Obama wrote that in high school, he and a black friend would sometimes speak disparagingly “about white folks this or white folks that, and I would suddenly remember my mother’s smile, and the words that I spoke would seem awkward and false.”

As a result, he concluded that “certain whites could be excluded from the general category of our distrust.”

Well, there you go. Larry O’Donnell most certainly is one of those “certain whites”. Indeed, I’d guess that Oprah’s audience also qualifies to be amongst this special class of “certain self-loathing whites”.

During college, Obama disapproved of what he called other “half-breeds” who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks. And yet after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around. He later married a black woman.

[...]

After graduating from college, Obama eventually went to Chicago to interview for a job as a community organizer. His racial attitudes came into play as he sized up the man who would become his boss.

“There was something about him that made me wary,” Obama wrote. “A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”

[...]

Such candid racial revelations abound in “Dreams,” which was first published in 1995, when Obama was 34 and not yet in politics. By the time he ran for his Senate seat in 2004, he observed of that first memoir: “Certain passages have proven to be inconvenient politically.”

Source

Please note that Obama didn’t renounce such statements, he only regretted the political toll that they might take. Perhaps he underestimates the power of white guilt. Or maybe white guilt is just the very currency that he is banking on. Larry O’Donnell is just one of too many PC addled fools in the media who will, no doubt, make hefty deposits in that bank.

Solve Your Own Problems, Don’t Make Them Mine

Editors Note: This is one of several exchanges between myself and black activists in a local news forum. The 2001 Cincinnati riots were my awakening to black separatism and the never ending laments of those who call themselves African-American. It’s when I learned that the hyphen between African and American was tantamount to giving America the finger.

This exchange references the Black Family Reunion that turned into a small riot in 2002. As usual, the general consensus from the black community was that if it were not for “the usual reasons” these “youths” would have behaved like good citizens.

But since you are aware of the situation at OU, then please enlighten me-why is race never an issue when there is unrest at an all white event, but it is the first thing that you and your friends mention when it is at black event?
What happened this weekend had nothing to do with the racial tension in the city but it had everything to do with a lack of supervision. There was no protest going on, it was a group unruly young people that had nothing better to do then to distroy other people’s property – just like the bar situation at Ohio U.

And since you are aware of the problems at OU, are you aware of the way the city of Athens is trashed every Halloween and High/Palmer Fest weekend by a predominately white crowd? Are you aware of the number of women that are raped during these events? One of my best friends, who happens to be white, was one of the rape victims. But of course race is never mention then either. And I am sure the number of people involved in these events number well beyond 2000. And this is by a supposedly educated, morally grounded crowd of young people.

As far as blacks working to find solutions, there are people out there trying to make a difference. I, along with everyone in my family and my friend base (including white people), mentor inner-city, poor young people on a weekly, if not daily basis, regardless of the race of the child. We also work with the police and other groups to help try to find solutions, instead of just putting out blame. We need to come out of our comfort zones and reach out to all the people in this city. Although I am a black woman, I come of my comfortable surburban lifestyle to go to the inner-city and work with these young people.

Since you seem like such a civil minded person, why don’t you and any other person interested in making a real change in the city, become part of the solution. There are numerous groups that have mentoring and community involvement in the schools throughout the city. We need to get proactive instead of reactive and defensive if we want to see real change in this city.

Cincinnati has a bad reputation throughout the county now. And all Cincinnatians regardless of race, class, gender, etc. need to step up to the plate and change that reputation.

I think this is really sad that after all that this city and this county has been through in the past 18 months that we can get beyond all of the blame and start taking action. It is no longer a black or white neighborhood problem – it is a city problem- and it is up to everyone to make a positive contribution.

Why are people playing these damn word games??? Wake up Riddy!

It becomes a race thing when the consistently criminal activities are perpetrated by one group. It is a racial thing when I have to wake up and have my morning coffee with my daily “black-on-black” murder count in Westwood, or Fairmount, or Over-the Rhine, or Madisonville. Not too many white folk there.

It was a sea of black faces roaming downtown screaming obscenities this week-end, not white. I am downtown every single day and those are black faces staring -sullen and menacing – not white. Not white trash, not white anything.

And these were not kids or children. Who are you kidding? These are not youth with homework time and bed time and play time. Quit acting like they are suburban kids with inattentive busy parents.

Their parents did not know, nor care, where they were because they never know or care where they are. These are street savvy, angry black men and women ( and a few deluded whites) plus , a whole host of out of town activists, (their infiltration here courtesy of your frigging boycott), exploiting ignorance and innocence alike.

And don’t even begin to compare this week-end with sporting event outbreaks, which are a breed of its own and, gee, includes black participants, and guess what? They all go back to the productive lives they took a recess from. It is uncharacteristic behavior. Get it?

The white melees you contend are comparable to the BF Reunion mess loose all appearance of similarity when you can safely conjecture that the majority of the participants were acting OUT of character, while the reunion revelers , it can be safely assumed, were acting very much IN character.

And don’t even go there with college mayhem. Those students, I guarantee you, felt remorse and/or had to accept consequences. They did not moan about their history of oppression to justify their misbehavior. And – they went back to solid productive lives as students, not to some murky street corner to brood about the white oppressors and how “white boy gonna get his ’cause they owe us”, as often recited by your reparations contingent.

I am convinced that you people are going to attempt to justify your every rude, ignorant, and criminal deed with a recitation of what big ole mean whitey has done to ya in the past. You sound like spoiled, hysterical children running from the big bad boogie man. The only picture that is emerging of the black race, as far as I can see or hear, is that of venal, avaricious, vindictive, churlish, juvenile losers.

You don’t like that Riddy? Well, neither do I. Until this boycott, the only image and experience of black people I knew were what you described yourself to be but, if you do not speak out, do not make your presence known, do nothing to be a voice of reason to counter the skewed picture Lynch portrays to the world, DO NOT complain that you are being grouped with those whose raw ideology is malignant and destructive. You can be damn sure white folk are quick to disassociate themselves from the KKK.

See, for those of you who claim to know the white man so damn well, I would counter, you better look again. You think you know the white race but, by virtue of your incessant self-obsession and constant caterwauling, you have failed to see you are dealing with a generation of white people who have, for the most part, from childhood on, stepped all over themselves trying not to offend a black person.

Should we say black, or is it negro, or now is it colored, oh, now it’s african-american – and god forbid you inadvertently say the frigging ‘N’ word lest everyone shatter like so many fragile humpty dumpties and we have another damn mess to clean up.

You’ve been insulting and alienating a generation of people who have taught their children to respect all people and immediately challenged REAL racist, behavior. A generation who has enjoyed and appreciated the appearance of more and more visible black performers, newscasters, journalists, analysts and personalities. Not as material for the purpose of caricaturing black people, as so often accused, but for the brilliant HUMAN talent there to be enjoyed.

And guess what? It wasn’t hard. Counter to what you appear to believe, there is no a cauldron of repressed black hatred lingering in the white heart. We don’t connive in small circles to make a black man’s day bad. There is no boogie man.

As far as “stepping up to the plate”, as riddy suggests, because it is a “city problem”, well, I’m sorry, it is a problem bestowed by the black community, created by the black community, and needs to be solved by those in that community and by anyone else who feel they are so called.

I don’t particular subscribe to the “it takes a village to raise a child” philosophy. It takes me to responsibly raise mine and you to responsibly raise yours, and we all produce , as best we can, gracious and productive adults and, bingo, you end up with a village that functions to the benefit of all. It is in that sane, civilized environment that one can effectively deal with the real issues.

Where did the money for Huntington Meadows go? Where did the so call empowerment zone funds walk off to? Why is Luken mayor ( can he be impeached)?

Develop a showcase for all black business and make sure minority contractors have a crack at all gigs. Whatever. Do you really think white people do not want to see legitimate inequities addressed? But how many remain who give a damn? It is poor psychology and absolutely asinine ‘marketing’ to present the image of ‘poor oppressed me’ with grasping outstretched hand to the average American. NO one likes whiners.

I stopped listening as soon as I heard I ‘owe’ it to you. But damn, can you imagine the response if Little Leftie Lynch had spent all his exuberance organizing a black business showcase, get funding from the many wealthy among you, and present a weekend event at the Convention center introducing Cincinnati to the many many wonderful and brilliant people and enterprises that minorities are responsible for?

Showcase the mentoring and every other endeavor the community is proud of. You don’t think that that type of networking and enterprise would be met with open minds and a willingness to CAPITALIZE on all the talent.

Instead of turning black entertainers away you could have made a special production of inviting bus loads of white folks from the suburbs in to enjoy your music and drama. But to think in that vein, one must actually care about the needs of the black community instead of exploiting it in order to launch baby Sharptons and Jacksons and build up the membership of the Black Panthers. To think in that vein is to truly act in a spirit of integrity and cooperation. AND , it would produce results.

Until there are responsible black leaders speaking as aggressively as Lynch, until the black community expels the leftist dirt they drug in here, they will get no support from me. Whatever organization exists to thwart Lynch and gang, whatever influence I can ever wield, as small as it may be, will be directed against those who hold this city hostage and all who maintain a condoning silence.
The damage done to all, is at your doorstep. Keep it off of mine.
