Race relations have plummeted since Obama took office, according to poll
The Daily Caller ^ | 25 July, 2013 | Neil Munro

Public attitudes about race relations have plummeted since the historic election of President Barack Obama, according to a new poll from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal.

Only 52 percent of whites and 38 percent of blacks have a favorable opinion of race relations in the country, according to the poll, which has tracked race relations since 1994 and was conducted in mid-July by Hart Research Associations and Public Opinion Strategies.

That’s a sharp drop from the beginning of Obama’s first term, when 79 percent of whites and 63 percent of blacks held a favorable view of American race relations.

DUH! Ya think? Probably eants to start a civil war against the whites with the black and brownies so he can force martial law and declare all whites as offenders and take them into custody. But the plan will collapse when they run out of money because a huge percentage of the browns don’t pay taxes and the same with the blacks who aren’t working and are just taking.

Getting there. He won’t be happy until he’s provoked nationwide race riots so he can “reset” the system under martial law.

Why would 12% of the population try to provoke a confrontation with the other 88% of the population? Their leaders must be suicidal.

Racial tension = “Republicans are racists” = Democrat rule

Half of that 88% are on the other side.

Why exactly do you need "taxes" when you have prison/slave labor, and can confiscate material items upon declaration of said martial law (i.e., seized control of these United States)?

It only took about 2% of population (the communists) to take over Russia.

Yes, to be sure. When you demonize one race for the problems of another, race relations suffer. Would any rational person have expected any other result?

Here is a President who has modeled his electioneering style--and he is perpetually electioneering--after Adolph Hitler's adoption of Marx's blaming a specific targeted group for societal problems--and, in doing so, is achieving the same Marxist goal as Hitler. (In case, no one has heard of the latter, he was not known as a promoter of good race relations.)

For a general discussion of the social effects of scape-goating & envy promotion, by politicians: Blame & Envy Cocktail.

Any student of political history should understand what Obama is about. It is not altruistice; it is not idealistic; it is not acceptable to decent people of any race.

Who saw THAT one coming?

For a forecast of the future of America, go back to the days of Coleman Young as Mayor of Detroit, and look at the current condition of the city today. Busted up in every way imaginable, with no effective government and hopelessly in debt, still the dying beast writhes about and lashes out against every attempt to bring order out of chaos.

It took just a sideswipe from a passing hurricane to finally give so much of New Orleans the reprieve it needed to begin a sort of renaissance, and the job is not done yet.

Detroit has no such potential for getting even a temporary suspension of its liabilities, and short of coming in, razing the entire region to the ground and rebuilding on the basis of actual economic demands and functions, there has not been much offered in the way of resuscitation of this gasping carcass of what was once a world-class city.

Exactly, and the media is complicit. Why else do they ignore clear cut cases of racial crime (either white on black, or black on white) for cases like TM/GZ, where people are bound to disagree what the outcome should be based on their own particular breed - then hype it up for all they can.

Actually the total number of Bolsheviks--according to a staff estimate of the House Committee on Unamerican Activities in the early 1960s-in early 1916, was 10,000. This expanded to 40,000 by the time they took over the street mobs in November 1917--which is still less than .03% of the population, no where near 2%--but should put the question in perspective.

The problem is that a dedicated cadre of a few thousand, who understand how to manipulate mobs of desperate people in a chaotic time, can overthrow Governments. We saw this with the Jacobins in France in the 1789-1795 period. We saw it again, not only in Russia, but briefly in Germany & Hungary, two years later, before Hitler demonstrated the principle again in the late 1920s & early 1930s. (Yes, his party got by far the largest vote in the 1933 election, but he started out with a relative handful of supporters, after he got out of jail for trying to overthrow the Government in a Beer Hall!)

It is very dangerous to underestimate what the skilled demagogue can do with a handful of dedicated revolutionaries. And it is well known that experienced revolutionaries have worked with Obama, before he ever entered politics.

I agree.

The race hustler 0bambi has brought race to the forefront of most conversations, when in the past most of us weren’t even thinking about it.

Now that 0bambi raises race at every moment, I think blacks are just extremely violent towards one another, and need to correct their own behavior. And I’m going to say so all the time.

Their leader is a Muslim communist half white who is president of the US. A “confrontation” brings him martial law. When that happens, his Muslim friends will constitute our government and the elected ones now in government will be sentenced to prison for denying the holy one, Mohammad. Some form of what I just wrote will happen.

Besides, their cause is noble, you know, reparations for past injustices, blah, blah, blah....
