Bill Cosby agrees with Jimmy Carter (America racist for disliking Obama policies)

agree with President Carter that racism is playing a role in recent outbursts against President Obama. During President Obama’s speech on the status of health care reform, some members of congress engaged in a public display of disrespect. While one Representative hurled the now infamous “you lie” insult at the President, others made their lack of interest known by exhibiting rude behavior such as deliberately yawning and sending text messages.

Health care reform is the most important domestic issue facing America today. Disease does not discriminate. African American, White, Asian, Latino, Republican, Democrat, no one in America is immune. So it seems obvious that a debate on health care reform should not include views born solely of partisanship or bigotry.

Various polls prior to the election indicated that between five and ten percent of Americans would never vote for an African American president. That number, of course, only includes those who actually admitted to their prejudice. How many others harbored such feelings but did not respond honestly when asked the question? And how many people oppose Obama’s plan because the President is African American?

In "Birth of a Nation," D.W. Griffith used white actors in black face to portray black legislators as having low intelligence and acting like fools. Today, we have a band of real life congressional fools seemingly bent on blocking any meaningful reform of the health care system. But if we allow even one American to die simply because he or she cannot afford treatment, we are creating a shameful scenario that could aptly be called “Death of a Nation.”

What the hell does health care have to do with racism? Is Bill Cosby saying only blacks don’t have current health care? That sounds racist to me...(see this line of thought is stupid)

[pikachu]

Cosby has been a sham and a shill since he tried to get us all to drink ‘new’ Coke. He is self-serving in a way that must make Jessie Jackson wince.

Obama's "politics" are based in racist communist Black Liberation Theology.

From Jeff Head's website...
One notable quote from [James] Cone describing his Black Liberation Theology is as follows:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." - "Divine Racism: The Unacknowledged Threshold Issue for Black Theology", in African-American Religious Thought: An Anthology, by William R Jones, ed Cornel West and Eddie Glaube (Westminster John Knox Press).

HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

BC is too old to be nothing but old school. He’s still living in the days of the KKK.

[sirchtruth]

I am so disappointed in Bill Cosby

My theory is Cosby's caught up in this whole, First African Amercian Prez history making thing. Cosby is not some saint ya know, he does have some liberal selfish leaning skeletons. He seemed a little senile too when I saw him on Meet The Press. He could barely put a coherent thought together, he was just loopy!.

[pilipo]

. . . it is completely out of character.

It would be nice if that were true. I have never known him not to be a racist, notwithstanding his upbraiding of fellow blacks.

[Old Sarge]

I, too, so very disappointed in Bill Cosby.

[proudmilitarymrs]

This isn’t necessarily really Bill Cosby. Anyone can make a facebook page and claim they’re Bill.

...notwithstanding his upbraiding of fellow blacks.

Interesting exclusion. I was going to argue that this point is exculpatory, but it's true, his support of black people not blaming white people for their problems doesn't necessarily mean he isn't racist. On the other hand, if black people followed his advice, any remaining "racism" would be very narrowly defined indeed.

[BerryDingle]

Makes perfect sense. We thought peanut brain’s incompetence was due to the fact we like “white” people, while That Zero’s incompetence is due to the fact we don’t like black people.

[Swede Girl]

I think Cosby wants Obama to succeed simply due to the historic reason of the election. He is not thinking this through.

The issue for Obama critics is not his race. The issue is our loss of freedom. By the time Cosby figures out that Obama is more RED than black, it will be too late.

[BobbyT]

This is a real shame—I thought he was one of the good guys.

He used to stand up against the race hustlers (Jackson/Sharpton/etc) when they’d try to defend the “nice boys” and “good students” on their 4th or 5th violent felony by age 17.

He spoke out against the quick-buck, thug-life-wannabe culture, and was attacked by the poverty pimps for it. I guess he finally gave in.

[Mac from Cleveland]

He’s been like this all along—he did say a few truths a while back, but it’s a case of a broken clock being right twice a day, and what he said was nothing that anyone with half a brain was already thinking.

It’s curious that Birth of a Nation was mentioned. Question:
How are the negative portrayals inaccurate? I’ve only seen excerpts in civil rights documentaries, showing these controversial portions, but I must say, frankly, they didn’t seem especially false, based on what I have seen and experienced in my life.

[not_under_duress]

There is one sure way to tell if someone is racist. They are the people who separate groups based on the color of their skin.

Your tagline is hilarious!!!

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Wow, this certainly changes my opinion of bill cosby.

I used to respect him for saying the hard things that needed saying, now he says the easy things that everyone (on the left) wants to hear?

You’re quite a disappointment mr. cosby, I guess for some color really does trump conviction.

[Venturer]

I dont understand the dissappointment stated here.

What is it aboutt he black race that people dont understand.
It appears this is the same surprise many people felt when Colin Powell voted for Obama.

I would bet $100 bucks that Condaleeza Rice voted for him too.

It’s just the way it is.

[Talisker]

By the time Cosby figures out that Obama is more RED than black, it will be too late.

Incredibly, he's only 6.25% Black, and so cannot even legally declare himself as Black on the US Census - his mother was White, and his father was 87.5% Arab.

Even more incredibly, his father's tribe was Arab slave traders - Black slave traders - who: "...operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria, who gave them the right to continue the slave trade in exchange for helping the British defeat the Madhi Army in southern Sudan and the Upper Nile region."

Quote from: Barack Obama: The first Arab-American president

So how ironic is it, that American Blacks are fawning over a fake-Black president who descended from Arabic slave traders? In a practical sense, how many Black people can trace their history in the US back to coming here as property after being kidnapped and traded for profit by Obama's Muslim forebearers?

For some folks, race trumps all.
