Right-wing talk show host Glenn Beck took 24 hours to consider the storm he sparked by branding President Obama a racist - then said it again. Beck took time out on his nationally syndicated radio show to defend his comments, made in connection with the arrest of black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. by a white police officer. The Fox Network star told his listeners: 'I said yesterday on Fox News & Friends that the president is a racist; I think he has race issues. 'Don't know if he hates whites but there is something going on with the president'Well, I stand by that - I deem him a racist, really, by his own standard of racism - the standard of the left.'

Right. We are going backwards. It’s as though the instigators aren’t happy when things are sailing along harmoniously. We average Americans don’t need to be lectured on how to live in harmony. I lived through the civil rights era, and I know more about it probably than Obama. These race baiters had better realize that whites have been strong advocates of racial equality when the chips were down. I spoke up daringly during the 1960s wherever I could. In the past, America has righted its wrongs: slavery, civil rights inconsistencies, honoring some war heroes more than others, etc. Not everything good in life happens only because it’s legislated.
[... And hasn’t Rush said that white males determine elections? ...]
This would be encouraging if I could trust our election process.
I agree he is seeking racial justice, but I distinguish someone who is seeking racial justice from being a racist. I do not believe Obama hates whites. If so, why are most of his cabinet and advisers white?

Useful tools.
Native Americans don’t encourage the destruction of America or the deaths of whitey. They have their casinos and are happy enough. Blacks seem to be the only ones who can’t get it together.
