War Against Whites? I Think Not
The New York Times ^ | August 6, 2014 | Charles M. Blow

Posted on 08/07/2014 9:19:15 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

When Representative Mo Brooks, Republican of Alabama, claimed earlier this week that Democrats were waging a “war on whites,” he lifted the lid on a simmering resentment that is very real and very resilient and feeds on anxiety — and fear — about a changing America, and the possibility of those changes upending historical architectures of privilege.

On Monday, Brooks was on Laura Ingraham’s radio show to talk about Republicans’ deportation policies. She played a clip of Ron Fournier of National Journal on Fox News saying:

“The fastest-growing voting block in this country thinks the Republican Party hates them. This party, your party, cannot be the party of the future beyond November if you’re seen as the party of white people.”

Ingraham asked Brooks to respond to the clip, and he did:

“This is a part of the war on whites that’s being launched by the Democratic Party. And the way in which they’re launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else. It’s part of the strategy that Barack Obama implemented in 2008, continued in 2012, where he divides us all on race, on sex, greed, envy, class warfare, all those kinds of things.”

This is a paranoid delusion wrapped in a staggering deflection inside an utter lack of personal — or party — accountability.

Republicans have been digging a trench between themselves and racial minorities for decades. One could argue that it began when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and reportedly lamented that, in doing so, he was assuring that Democrats had lost the South for a generation....

Blow isn't smart enough to realize that illegal aliens will GLADLY take work from African-Americans, for a fraction of the cost.

In fact illegal aliens are already running Blacks out of their own neighborhoods as we speak.

Blow, you think "whites" don't like black people?

It's not true.

But do you know who does?

Hispanics.

The democrat party is the ULTIMATE anti-Black party.

Blow is too blinded by his own racism to see it.

Let’s begin transforming, say, Mexico, into a majority Anglo country and see what this author has to say about it. Did he get his journalism degree at the Eloi University of Morlock Defense?

I don't see how anyone looking objectively at the situation would consider this anything other than the objective truth.

Charles Blow is your “barf alert” if you’ve ever read even one of his columns.

The New York Times is your barf alert.

Pretty smart of this Administration to protect themselves by giving high-up WH advisory jobs to spouses of MSM. They are protecting their jobs over the country.

For you out-of-towners ABC and the Washington Post are one and the same

GUESS WHO IS MARRIED TO WHO

Now we know part of the reasons that ABC will not say anything negative against Obama.

Did you know these connections?

ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, National Security Adviser.

CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.

ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former White H ouse Press Secretary Jay Carney

ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama’s Deputy Press Secretary

ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama’s Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood

CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.

And now you know why it is no surprise the media is in Obama’s pocket.
