Live by identity politics, die by identity politics

identity-politics

For all of barack obama's tenure as President of the US democrats have savaged every criticism of obama as racism. It was the multi-tool dog whistle, blown at every opportunity.

Eric Holder, the AG for "my people" , saw racism in every obama criticism.

hillary clinton saw racism in opposing obama.

The infection spread even to ESPN.

It never stopped:

Alas, another reporter asked me the same question I have been repeatedly asked for the past five years.  “As an African-American, why are you a member of the Tea Party?”  It dawned on me to ask the reporter, “If you are a thinking patriotic American, why are you not a member of the Tea Party?”

It is stunning that reporters cannot see the absurdity and racism against white voters in their assumption that Tea Party membership (pushback against Obama's agenda) equals racism.

For the first time in U.S. history, are Americans required to submit to their president's agenda or suffer the mainstream media and Democratic party branding an R on their forehead for racist?  Does our president's skin color repeal our right to disagree with government?

The MSM and Democratic Party declaring all opposition to Obama's agenda racist is a despicable divisive tactic.  They are exploiting Obama's skin color to further their socialist/progressive agenda (full-court press hostile government takeover of our lives).

Another question repeatedly asked by reporters is, “If the Tea Party is not racist, why are its members mostly white?”  I reply, “Could it be that a majority of black voters are ill-informed, clueless, and/or racist?  Why are you making the Tea Party responsible for blacks not showing up?”

In 2008, when I heard presidential candidate Barack Obama tell Joe-the-Plumber that he wanted to spread the wealth around, I knew Obama was a socialist and the wrong man to lead my country.

To my utter amazement, who Obama is as a human being and his plan for America were totally irrelevant to my family, my friends, and 96% of black voters, including some black conservatives and Republicans.  It was a black code thing.  Support the brother no matter what.

We weren't allowed to disagree with obama without being vilified. We weren't allowed to object to his apologizing for the United States in Arab countries or to the stimulus we knew would fail or to his shoving obamacare down our throats when we knew it would fail or to his paying ransom to Iran or to his constant lying. We aren't permitted to object to obama throwing open the borders to illegals and the costs imposed upon us for his largess. We can't be fed up with obama's galactically sized ego and his insufferable narcissism.

No, we weren't allowed any of that because it would immediately cause the racism dog whistle to be blown despite the fact that absolutely none of it had anything to do with race. Race became the tool to beat down the opposition. It was the means to the end. Kevin Jackson:

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.

democrats have lived on identity politics for eight years and they show no signs of abandoning it. They are so infected with it that they are using it to indoctrinate and ruin their children over the loss of an election.

Well, with the departure of obama the "racism" identity politics theme has thankfully expired and a new one is required for the left.

Enter "white supremacist."

At one point, Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri told Trump’s team, “I would rather lose than win the way you guys did.”

You did lose, thank God.

I laughed at the Dems and their Race card.

They were just being typical liberal fascists, short timers.
They were denigrating America as a whole, without cause.
The American people had to see what they were. Now they will go into the dust bin of history...in the dumper.That includes Al Sharpton, the race baiter-exortionist, and the Black Lives Matter traitors.

Americans do not like fascism, hate it in fact. And they recognized what was being done to them.
