Obama's Anger [mod note - Quote in excerpt is NOT from Obama]
American Thinker ^ | March 20, 2008 | Ed Kaitz

Posted on 03/20/2008 5:34:57 AM PDT by PurpleMan

"I asked him point blank why these Vietnamese refugees, with no money, friends, or knowledge of the language could be, within a generation, so successful..."

His answer, only a few words, not only floored me but became sort of a razor that has allowed me ever since to slice through all of the rhetoric regarding race relations that Democrats shovel our way during election season:

"We're owed and they aren't."

"We're owed and they aren't."

What's that saying that Black Racists hate?, Oh yea, "You People".

What an idiot.

With a chip like that on his shoulders, he’s unfit to be a trash collector, let alone president.

Would you want someone like that working for you or with you?

Not I.

This looks like a good place to try out my new tag line.

...as long as we think we're owed we're going nowhere."

That's true about all of us in many different relations, including our relationship with God.

"...you do not win the weak by sharing your wealth with them; it will but infect them with greed and resentment. You can win the weak only by sharing your pride, hope or hatred with them."

Wise words from Eric Hoffer.

As a wise old friend of mine used to say: "Why does he hate me -- I never gave him charity". When you give someone charity, you automatically set him inferior, and you disrespect him. He takes the charity, but he resents you for it.

I’m still trying to decide whether to use “the abomination of Obama-Nation.” It has a Biblical ring to it.

“We’re owed and they aren’t.” Obama

Obama has never been owned, the only thing Obama is slavery too, is his racist views of the world.

He swerved into the truth of the Black American plight there:

As long as they think someone owes them something, they’ll go NOWHERE.

Only those that get out from under this thinking make it in America, regardless of all the affirmative action and wealth transfer.

Would he be 1/2 “owed”?

"It's crushing us, and as long as we think we're owed we're going nowhere."

More detail.

This one needs to be shouted from the mountain tops: “Obama (whose ancestors were not slaves...) thinks HE and ALL BLACKS are owed something at the expense of people who never owned slaves.”
But wait until he wins the Democrat nomination...

I think that your excerpt is very misleading, these are not the words of Obama, just a black man that the author had struck up a conversation with.

The rest of the article is is well worth reading.

Thank you Democrat President Lyndon B Johnson for so dynamically enabling the ‘we are owed’ mentality in everyone who will not summon up the moxy to try to improve themselves. As a parent, I would never say ‘They owe you’ to my kids. Usually I am saying ‘Get your nose in that book’ or ‘Practice, practice, practice ...’.

Maybe it all started before LBJ but that is as far back as I think I remember ...

This article is a powerful indictment of what most have observed over our lifetimes. PC forbids discussion, however.

This is a GREAT essay- and the writer illustrates on so many levels how the victim mentality has poisoned the thinking of some black Americans.

How many generations will pass before it’s clear to them that being “owed” is nothing but slavery in a new guise?
