I agree, every nationality/culture has their stereotypes.....

....doesn't mean they're true for all and that all apply. I even laugh at my own nationality stereotypes....

After a While, You Have To Accept That These Are The President's Beliefs On Display

When asked for an opinion about government-run health care, guess which Obama mentor answered this way?

Quote:

I think the racists in the right wing are upset because poor people are about to be helped.

If you guessed Rev. Jeremiah Wright, you would be correct. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,547544,00.html

I know that people on the left are tired of having Wright, terrorist Bill Ayers, and other Obama mentors and allies thrown back in their faces repeatedly, but the influence these and like-minded figures had over the President in their long associations with him are very germane to how the President views the world. Wright's comments—and the twisted hatred and paranoia that underlie them—are the same sort of conspiratorial rants we've come to associate with another Obama ally that just stepped down from the Administration this weekend, Van Jones.

The simple fact of the matter is that all of these people were close to the President because they share the same core beliefs. While every person is an individual and they do differ on specific points, when a belief is endemic to a group and permeates it as a majority view, it is folly to think that that view is not commonly held and accepted by members of that group.

Barack Obama has a track record more than two decades long of walking arm-in-arm with radicals and racists that propagate these theories of conspiratorial oppression.

Perhaps Glenn Beck was right. Maybe President Obama is a racist. It certainly seems more likely every time one of his allies opens his mouth to spit forth another theory of conspiratorial oppression.

One reason I am amused at the perplexed questions of "who vetted Jones, anyway" is my certainty that nobody bothered to vet him because they knew all about him, and it wasn't a problem. Jones wasn't some goofy nut who slipped past the system - he represented what this particular system was looking for.

Remember how Obama was blindsided that anyone had a problem with him chumming around with Ayers and Wright for most of his adult life? It's one of his blind spots. America is so alien to him that he can't tell when somebody is not just out of the mainstream, but beyond the pale.

I just don't understand why people couldn't see this from the get go... the only explanation is willful blindness.... at least people are beginning to open their eyes.. finally.. Obama is a racist and a very hard core one.. in my opinion his hate toward white people has a direct relationship to the fact that he's half white and half black..

Perhaps people are waking to find, Hussein Obama is a radical too. Could it be? Or is he simply an innocent who just happens to have hung around and still hangs around radicals?

Exactly. Jonah Golberg is still saying that he does not believe that Obama is racist. But any white person with similar types of friends would be considered a racist, case closed.

Try to imagine a white Republican who spent twenty years going to a white supremacist church, was friends with David Duke, and appointed neo-Nazis to his staff.

Would there be even the slightest debate over whether such a person was racist?

Stop blaming racism for the failure of black parents
By Paul D. White
Thu Oct 22, 5:00 am ET

Los Angeles – Growing youth violence in the United States will not be resolved until we find the moral courage to address the racial issues that underlie it.

During a Chicago school visit earlier this month to the site where a black honor student was beaten to death by a mob of black students, Attorney General Eric Holder stated that growing youth violence in America is not just "a black problem," but a problem for all races. The trouble with this statement is that it is statistically untrue.

Youth violence may not be solely a black problem, but it is primarily a black problem.

Consider, by race, the contributing factors of prison incarceration and school suspension. Blacks are imprisoned and suspended three times more frequently than the rest of the US population, and as much as six times more frequently than their white, Asian, and Latino counterparts.

The question is not whether young blacks, particularly males, get involved in violent incidents more frequently than other races. The question is why.

White and black liberals blame this disparity on a racist society that misinterprets and discriminates against black culture.

White and black conservatives explain these statistics as the result of less respect for the law, caused solely by poor parenting. They cite as proof that high-achieving blacks have been well-parented.

This is not a new problem. Consider a memo written in 1965 to President Lyndon Johnson from Assistant Labor Secretary Daniel Moynihan in which the secretary expressed his great concern over the high rate of out-of-wedlock births among blacks (25 percent at that time). Unaddressed, Mr. Moynihan predicted, this large number of fatherless children would result in increasing school failure, criminal delinquency, and joblessness. Sadly, because liberals across the board condemned this call for action as racist propaganda, President Johnson didn't want to risk heated public debate and so did nothing.

The recent Chicago incident, and countless others that occur daily, are the result of not heeding Moynihan's warning 44 years ago. The previous out-of-wedlock birthrate has almost tripled, and 7 out of 10 black children now grow up not only without a father, but also in disproportionate poverty. That means millions of young kids lack adequate parental guidance to make the transition to become successful adults.

So of course unparented black kids act up and get in trouble more. Any racial group would do the same. The starting point for reducing our nation's youth violence must begin at home. We need our elected public officials to acknowledge this.

President Obama – himself black, well-parented, and successful – has a unique opportunity to start reducing youth violence by addressing this key issue. The president needs to condemn the disparity in out-of-wedlock birthrates and antisocial behavior between black youth and their peers of other races. He needs to specifically address the habit of blaming racism alone for the failure to instill proper behavior in black children.

A specific call for black parental accountability would be a strong first step in avoiding future tragedies like the one in Chicago.

Ridiculous “RAAAACISM” charge of the day
November 4, 2009 02:05 PM

The Left will do anything to smear the US Chamber of Commerce, a leading foe of the Democrats’ government health care takeover and the radical cap-and-tax plan.

You’ll recall that Reuters got punked by an attack parody of the Chamber a few weeks ago. Now, the Huffington Post is stirring up grievance-mongering by the AFL-CIO, which claims that the business group’s ad against Obamacare is RAAAAACIST:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/1..._n_345392.html

Quote:

A new Chamber of Commerce ad attacking Democratic-led efforts to pass health care legislation includes a storyline that union critics of the group say is rife with racial undertones.

In the new spot, titled “Millions,” the business lobby goes after health reform by arguing that it could “wipe out even more jobs” than those lost so far. But the group does so in a peculiar and perhaps controversial way.

The scenario of a distraught boss forced to fire an employee is illustrated by a white worker being summoned to the office as a black co-worker looks on.

An official with the AFL-CIO, who saw the ad air on Wednesday morning, argued that it was a perpetuation of the stereotype that minorities have a leg up on their colleagues because of affirmative-action policies. It gets at the heart of concerns raised by labor leaders like the AFL-CIO’s president, Richard Trumka, who fretted during the 2008 presidential campaign that Barack Obama’s candidacy would spur racial unrest within work forces.

“This is the same old right wing dog whistle politics,” said Eddie Vale, spokesman for the AFL-CIO. “They’re trying to use race and class to scare working people about a health care bill.”

The Chamber scoffed at the charge. “Really?” emailed spokesman Eric Wohlschlegel, in a succinct and dismissed response.

Here’s the ad:

If the fired worker had been black, Big Labor would have concocted “racial undertones” for that narrative. If there had been no black workers in the spot, Big Labor would have cried RAAAAACISM over that, too.

You can never win with the cult of the aggrieved.

As one of my favorite Tea Party signs put it:
