Crazed hysterics over race: skin-color demagogues' ranting won't affect most voters

When I wrote the book “Negrophilia: From Slave Block to Pedestal – America’s Racial Obsession,” I did envision circumstances possibly becoming worse as regards race relations in America – I just didn’t think they would get quite this bizarre. At present, a lot of what’s going on centers around the upcoming presidential election, but not all. We’ve entered the time of a liberal-fostered hypersensitivity around race that even extends to “racially insensitive” menu items.

But I digress – sort of. As I predicted, Barack Obama’s re-election campaign itself has thus far steered clear of directly employing the race card, but Obama surrogates have enthusiastically embraced the practice. Most recently, the president’s feeble acquittal in the first debate with GOP nominee Mitt Romney elicited some of the weirder race-focused rhetoric.

One of the most absurd theories (the single most absurd overall being Al Gore’s claim that the thin Colorado air befuddled Obama’s brain) was floated by Georgetown University professor Michael Eric Dyson on MSNBC’s “Now” program on Oct. 4. His assertion was that poor President Obama was afraid of coming off like the proverbial (or stereotypical, if you prefer) “angry black man,” distracted by furor over a 2007 tape released by the Daily Caller and Fox News shortly before the debate. You see, Obama was elected by a majority of whites largely because he did not fit that stereotype; give whites the idea that he has that capacity and, reasons Dyson, they’ll flock to Romney en masse.

If that didn’t lower the bar of journalism quite far enough: Late last week, media outlets reported on rapper Snoop Dogg’s “Ten Reasons To Not Vote For Mitt Romney,” a list supposedly obtained from some kindred lowlife and tweeted to his fans. I guess I don’t have to go into the pathos of this

The left playing the race card tells me that they are in full blown panic mode

I informed someone trying to explain a situation to me I could understand it better if he cut the rapper talk. He did.
