Admit it. You want a white Republican president again.
Now before you start feeling like you’re a racist, understand you are not.
Wanting a white Republican president doesn’t make you racist, it just makes you American.
In the pre-black president era, criticizing the president was simply the American thing to do. An exercise of one’s First Amendment right. Criticism had nothing to do with color, because there had never been a black president, or at least one whom people recognized as black.
So to criticize the president meant that you didn’t like his policies.
The election of a recognized black president was not supposed to change anything. In fact, it was supposed to (1) ease any perceived racial tensions, and (2) allow the government to focus on legislating without race. So America would be more free than ever to discuss the issues.
Not the case. And that is why having a white Republican president is best for the country.
Consider that nobody is ever accused of being racist for disagreeing with white presidents. Mexicans disagreed with most white Republican presidents over America’s immigration policy. Many deranged Mexicans believe we should open the country up to them, some saying that much of America belongs to Mexico anyway. They are not called racists.
Liberal blacks have disagreed with most Republican presidents since Eisenhower, yet these blacks are not considered racists. In fact, when blacks had sanity and disagreed with the policies of racist white Democrat presidents, nobody accused black people of being racists.
Fighting for one’s civil rights was not racist then, nor is it racist now. Blacks (and Republicans) were on the side of righteousness, when they disagreed with the racist policies of Andrew Johnson, and adopted by every Democrat president since.
Never has a black person been called racist, because they didn’t like one of the white presidents’ policies. Blacks were just exercising their First Amendment rights to speak freely. Blacks have disagreed with policy positions of about every Republican president in the modern era, including those who have helped them.
Take Reagan for example. Reagan ushered in a veritable Renaissance for blacks, as Fox News showcased.
And the Reagan record?
African-American columnist Joseph Perkins has studied the effects of Reaganomics on black America. He found that, after the Reagan tax cuts gained traction, African-American unemployment fell from 19.5 percent in 1983 to 11.4 percent in 1989. Black-owned businesses saw income rise from $12.4 billion in 1982 to $18.1 billion in 1987—an annual average growth rate of 7.9 percent. The black middle class expanded by one-third during the Reagan years, from 3.6 million to 4.8 million.
Real Politics reports Obama’s statistics as follows:
Median family income for black Americans has declined a whopping 10.9 percent during the Obama administration…This decline does not include losses suffered during the financial crisis and the recession that followed, but it instead measures declines since June 2009, when the recession officially ended.
That’s not the only bad news for African-Americans. The poverty rate for blacks is now 25.8 percent. The black labor force participation rate, which rose throughout the 1980s and 1990s, has declined for the past decade and quite sharply under Obama to 61.4 percent. The black unemployment rate, according to Pew Research, stands at 13.4 percent. Among black, male, high school dropouts, PBS’ Paul Salmon reports, the unemployment rate is a staggering 95 percent.
That report was from 2011, and it’s gotten worse since then. Facts don’t lie. Yet blacks want to put Obama on Mt. Rushmore and hang Reagan in effigy.
The only way you can argue with those stats is if you are a racist. Truth be told, most Liberal blacks are racists.
Nobody wants to discuss it, because racism by black Liberals has been sanctioned by the Left, even encouraged. Black racists get a pass, as black race-baiters are unchallenged on the most idiotic ideas and statements.
MSNBC’s Touré said that using the word “angry” to describe Obama is racist. Juan Williams of Fox News said that mentioning the Constitution is racist, and the list goes on.
But it gets worse. These Lefty racists do a far bigger disservice to blacks and America in general, as they rationalize Obama’s (and the Left’s) inability to create opportunity. When their policies wreak havoc, they pose insane arguments. They say that Republicans are trying to starve people by reducing the welfare rolls that Liberals have happily increased by 16M Americans.
Race-baiting, poverty-pimp Al Sharpton argued recently to keep 3M known deadbeats on welfare.
Black racists don’t complain when black people are marginalized and insulted with policies that dumb down black America, like the lessening of academic standards. They are fine telling black youths that those youths are less smart than all other ethnic groups. Certainly no future ramifications from that policy, said nobody ever.
These same racists allow for black children to be cheated in education and ultimately, opportunity, as their enablers—guilty white Liberal racists—turn a blind eye.
I long for the days of a white president, because under white presidents, at least black people had pride. Liberals have stolen pride from blacks, and they have no intention of giving it back.
At least if we had a white president, black people might have a shot of regaining a modicum of respect.

I’ll admit that we NEED an:
honest, responsible GROWN UP who has HAD A JOB in the past and understands how the REAL world works here in the USA.
Who CARES about his color.
I would add that military service would be a plus...
I want an AMERICAN president again. I don’t care what color their skin is.
I’d prefer Allen West.
We need a Conservative President. The best one available happens to be Hispanic.
White is the preference only because there are so few others to choose from. Allen West, the Doctor from Md Herman Cain...
Yup. Melanin shouldn’t have any roll in it. I just want a POTUS that supports the constitution and honors it as well, realizing that the founders were a pretty smart bunch of folks. You know, rich white dudes.
Comments?
Unless WE have a WHITE, Christian, Straight President, there can be no criticism aimed at the White House...
That is just the way that it is....
GREAT comments...
“The only way you can argue with those stats is if you are a racist. Truth be told, most Liberal blacks are racists.”
This one is especially insightful: “At least if we had a white president, black people might have a shot of regaining a modicum of respect.”
While it is true that having a black president has set back race relations and has showcased the failure of the black culture with its crime, illegitimacy and welfare dependency; I’m not so sure ANY white leader or president will ever have a chance of restoring respect for blacks.
That is up to them. Only if and when blacks take ownership of their issues and make 180 degree changes will they begin to earn the respect they lost.
at least.... HE is WHITE Hispanic..../s
If, and it’s a really big IF, America survives the psycho in the WH, I seriously don’t see America having another black president for a long time, if ever. Of any political persuasion and that is sad. I would be ecstatic if somebody like Allen West or Thomas Sowell or Herman Cain or JC Watts become president.
Liberals won’t read this.
Liberals will call this racist.
DOA. Only a conservative would read this and nod their head in any agreement. Best you would get out of a liberal would be fingers in the ears and LA-LA-LA-LA-LAAAAA
He’s right. There is plantation upon plantation of victims. Master Al Sharpton who makes money off these plantation victims, Master rap artist who makes money off these plantation victims, Master white liberal who make money off these plantation victims. The list goes on and on.
It won’t stop until more black men stand up and until these black men who do stand up aren’t verbally beaten for their truth and honesty. I sometimes wonder if black people will once again need to start secret schools educating blacks to their full potential and not convincing them of limits.
Save for later. Thanks for the post.
Thank you. I was going to say that. Very good choice for VP, at the very least.
“I would add that military service would be a plus...”
You might want to further qualify that, seen as McCain not only ‘served’ but some still consider him a ‘hero’.
I’ve heard some commentators say that the 2012 ticket of Romney/Ryan could be the last ticket with two white men. Due to political correctness and ethnic change, there will be pressures for the GOP to nominate a woman or minority VP if a white man wins the pres nnomination.
Dems won’t have that issue because if Hillary is the 2016 nominee, they are covered there.
Good news is that there are some good quality women/minority GOP politicians in this country.

That’s an interesting point. Blacks jumped at the opportunity to vote for Obama without considering his lack of qualifications or what the consequences might be if he failed.
It generally not a good idea to marry the first person that comes along. :)
If electing a liberal black president means that any criticism of their policies is considered racism, as is the case with BO, then it doesn’t work for America.

Hats off to the author, his thoughts are to few and to far in between in his community.
Yes, please.
Never has a black person been called racist, because they didn’t like one of the white presidents’ policies.

Juan Williams of Fox News said that mentioning the Constitution is racist
The author is NOT an Authentic Black Person.
I’d be thrilled with an Hispance president named Cruz.
Every talking head and republican politician should defend Cruz by saying “You don’t like him because he’s Hispanic. You’re racist.” I guarantee this would ring with the Hispanic voters.
Ok. Good point. I’m thinking that with the other qualifications listed above to which I was replying, that is covered.
Agree 100 percent that we need a president in stead of an insurance salesman
Allen West is a Black man I would enthusiastically vote for over most white men. Sarah Palin would be my top choice.
