I well remember my childhood best friend. Tony and I were the masters of construction for our class. We knew just how to maximize every component of the massive, industrial-strength wooden block set. No other kid in kindergarten could match the height of our buildings or the length of our bridges.
Of course, we cooperated with the daily rituals of learning the alphabet and numbers, reinforced with campy songs. But free time was what we were there for. We were guys. We built stuff together. It was what we did.
One afternoon while driving home from school in the family Oldsmobile, my ears perked up when I heard Tony’s name mentioned from the front seat. My mother and the other mom in our carpool were talking with a tone of some concern. I asked what was wrong.
My mother explained that some of the other moms had been grumbling that a black family was now attending our school. It was very evident to me, even at the age of five, that the two moms in the front seat were dismayed at the inappropriate behavior of the other parents. I wanted to know who was this family at the center of the big controversy. “You know, Mark; your friend Tony.”
The next day in school, while erecting one of our most elaborate bridges, I paused to take a closer look at Tony. I remember studying his ear and realizing for the first time that his skin was dark. I found it interesting but inconsequential. I got back to focusing on the task at hand and Tony never seemed to notice my staring at the side of his head.
My genetic makeup has me as your average-looking Caucasian. I have lived most of my life in the majority race in the United States. But I also spent a few years in the minority in a Hispanic country in my teens and in South Africa in my twenties. And it is evident from my life experiences that the natural occurrence of cultural diversities make life intriguing and colorful. It is also evident that racial prejudice is an uncivil virus perpetuated by egotistical megalomaniacs with self-serving agenda.
Following those tracks, perhaps the most contrived moment in U.S. Presidential history came on Friday when Barack Obama surprised the White House Press Corps (pronounced kôr, Mr. President) by showing up unannounced to the daily briefing session. This is the sort of event created by a President to share with all of America about public concerns that deserve strong leadership and direction. Perhaps we might learn that they finally caught the perpetrator of the IRS scandal, or Benghazi, or Fast & Furious, or Extortion 17.
Instead, the President decided to address the pop culture curiosity of a Florida criminal trial promoted by a carpetbagger named Jesse Jackson and a scalawag named Al Sharpton, both masquerading as “reverends.” President Obama told 300 million head-scratching civilians that the person killed in the Florida scuffle “could have been me.”
The President went on to explain that, “There are very few African-Americans who haven’t had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off. That happens often.” He expanded on the explanation with, “That happens to me, at least before I was a senator.”
He may as well have said, “That could have been me. I could have been disco dancing in synch with four other guys all wearing bell bottoms and ruffled shirts with our collars turned up. We could have just finished timing our distributors and playing our 45s and correcting our typewriter mistakes with whiteout. Or I might have just stepped out of my Datsun, playing my transistor radio too loud, offending the Van de Kamps lady at the five-and-dime.” I thought only standup comics were still stuck in that time warp.
But instead of celebrating the melting pot that nearly every American under the age of 50 assumes as fashionable, President Obama took over the microphone specifically to contraflow our e pluribus unum.
And what would motivate the most liberal president in history to pick that old scab? Why would his Attorney General explore ways to keep alive conversations of racial divide in the media? It is because the President and his accomplices are doing some very un-American things. And they see an opportunity to transform every objection to their socialist agenda into an expression of prejudice against a black president.
Well into his second term, America’s first black president stepped up to the barely-flickering embers of racial prejudice with a bucket in his hands. He could have gifted the nation with historical healing by dousing it with water from the Potomac. Instead, he poured gasoline from Saudi Arabia and hoped for a new flare up.
A woman friend of mine responded with, “I would not have clutched my purse around Barack Obama before he was senator. I clutch my purse around him now.”
Obsession would be more descriptive.
Race got him where he is now.
Obama does not have that advantage, He doesn't know what race he is so he chose a race. He chose the black race, and he naturally inherited every predjudice that race had to offer. Not only that the prejudice's are exaggerated in his mind. They were exaggerated by his mentor, his mother, his father, they all made him what he is. Obama is the enemy of every white person he comes in contact with, he is a certified bigot. His hatred is leading him guiding him into being the worst President this country has ever seen.
Same for Holder. They are the very personification of racial strife.
They know it and they like it.
Cold calculation and manipulation. Nothing like a race riot to take people’s minds off the scandals in his administration, unemployment, their cities going bankrupt, the murder rate in Chicago, etc.
My son, in the 80’s was in day care. He would be about 4 at the time. He was in love with a little girl named Peggy and talked about her nonstop. Sometimes I would pick him up from there (his dad usually did because I worked 12 hour shifts as a nurse) and I wanted to see who this little sweetie was. I asked him to tell me what she looked like and all I got was a funny twirling motion he made in his hair.
One day I he pointed her out to me.........she was black and her mom had done her hair up in little ribbens. He never once used her skin colour to describe her. Just something that stuck with me to this day.
He is now a grown man in dentistry and we often talk about how things are now so different.
Yup! They know how to play off the “white guilt” thing.
It’s the strategy of Divide and Conquer, pressed by communists for a hundred years in order to defeat capitalism.
Obama’s Fascination with Homosexuality
I am certain that many of you have noticed when Obama finishes speaking a sentence - that he clenches his lips. To me this indicates something. But I have never any of the interpreters of ‘Body Language’ comment about it. He does this consistently.
Remember Obama is a street organizer and disciple of leftist radical Saul Alinsy. Stirring up racial animosity is a means to gain power by leading the mob.
He’s got a huge CHIP on his shoulder.
He has never suffered any personal hardships, but fantasizes about his father, grandfather etc being screwed over by colonial power.
In his autobiography he described some of his school mates in Hawaii telling him they do not like racism and how some Blacks are abused (commiserating with him). He says his immediate instinct was to punch them in the face. They could not possibly understand it. So, could he?
The pampered little perfumed prince, red diaper baby. Groomed to hate America and its way of life.
Exactly, without race he would just be another angry communist! He’s not White, he’s not Black, he’s just kind of muddy, grubby, festering and cankerous.
Liberals are compelled to feel a tinge of guilt for having feelings of bias, when, in fact, these feelings are simply the result of statistics (after all, blacks represent 12% of the population yet commit 50% of murders and 35% of rapes in our society).
And in spite of massive media propaganda to the contrary, “black on white” crime IS far more common than the reverse, so a rational white individual fears are confirmed by statistics:
http://www.colorofcrime.com/colorofcrime2005.pdf
Crime Rates
• Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
• When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
• Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
• The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.
Interracial Crime
• Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
• Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are
Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
• Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
• Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
Perhaps many of us are “statisticists” - not racists – that is, people who respond to the world based on factual statistics.
In other words, making a rational decision to have fears based on numerical analysis is an intelligent survival instinct. At the same time, when you or I meet a black person, we treat them in a friendly, colorblind manner just as we would treat anyone else. But in a situation where our safety might be compromised, we’re less apt to trust a black than an Asian or a White – simply because of intelligent use of statistics.
Even Jesse Jackson said it so well:
“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.... After all we have been through. Just to think we can’t walk down our own streets, how humiliating.”
(That was a remarkable lapse of honesty for the master race-card player...)
Rather than succumb to fears of being labeled a racist for harboring fears about blacks, why not chalk it up to statistics?
And until the black community changes those statistics (by better behavior such reducing their crime rate and not pushing misogynistic, hateful, racist black/rap culture as being cool), people are going to continue to categorize blacks based on statistics. Perhaps this is “culturist” and not “racist” or a combination thereof...
Many on the left nauseatingly chestbeat proudly about how “non-racist” they are, but at the same time, they support morally corrupt, slickly-packaged policies like “Affirmative Action” and they support blatant racists like Eric Holder and Black Obama (read “Dreams from my Father” to get an idea of Obama’s not-so subtle hatred for white society).
Every young generation grows up with a fresh look at things. In the Baby Boomer generation, their racial awareness was of segregated buses & drinking fountains, Selma Alabama, the KKK, etc. So understandably, lots of people from that era have huge tinges of guilt about oppressing blacks, even if their families never were racist.
In my generation, I grew up facing the oddities of affirmative action and questioned the ethics of it. For all the contemporary airtime the word “racial profiling” gets in our left-controlled media and government, no one ever is honest enough to admit that affirmative action is essentially a form of state-sanctioned racial profiling!
For me, state sanctioned discrimination for/against individuals based on skin color is racism. But it’s actually worse than arbitrary racism by free individuals because the State is using force to implement fundamentally racist policies. Can you say “big brother?” It’s another form of socioeconomic “fascism” that deprives some groups of their natural rights as individuals.
It seems so patently hypocritical of today’s neo-racists to essentially claim, “yo’ man, we gonna use racism as a tool to end racism.” Can’t these people see that their methods are so racist?
C’mon sheeple, wake up! I do believe if MLK were alive today, he would rightfully oppose affirmative action:
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Indeed there have been racial injustices in the past, but it is not ethical to correct them with racist, punitive measures. It’s analogous to if someone burgled some black person’s house somewhere/sometime in history and then the court system’s remedy would be to allow some other arbitrary black person to go burgle some other arbitrary white person’s house. Insane. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
There are plenty of racial/cultural groups in the history of this country who have been discriminated against in the past & the present. Many years ago, it was the Irish who were rejected. In my father’s coal mining town, the established people were racist/culturist against Lithuanian immigrants. I often cite Mexicans who are also subjected to racism in this country just as blacks are, but they have responded to their plight in a much more positive way than the blacks have.
On the one hand, you have Mexican illegals who perilously swim/hike across the border just to come here to work for $8-10/hour picking lettuce & strawberries, washing dishes, gardening, construction. And on the other hand, you’ve got American blacks whining, “Yo’ man, I can’t get me no job!” The Mexicans are finding the jobs under adverse, racist circumstances, so why can’t the Blacks?
The rest was just fluff and throw away lines.
-—”In his autobiography he described some of his school mates in Hawaii telling him they do not like racism and how some Blacks are abused (commiserating with him). He says his immediate instinct was to punch them in the face.”
Lucky for Obama, his school mates weren’t Zimmerman if he’d punched them in the the face (assault).
TrayBama is the most racist president we’ve had in my lifetime.
I think that after Obamalamadingdong’s speech at the press conference handed the Republicans some major wins.
skeeter: “Perceptions of injustice, primarily racism, fuels the democrat party. Without these lies they have nothing to offer America.”
Except it’s apparent that many millions of them really believe America is unjust. That’s something that has to be dealt with whether or not it’s true. One deluded person is a nut. Millions of deluded people are a movement.
