Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith is endorsing President Barack Obama as part of an outreach effort by the re-election campaign to encourage continued support from the African-American community.

“I have the president’s back and it’s left up to us as African Americans to show that we have his back, also,” the coach says. “Join African Americans for President Obama today.”

>>I have the president’s back and it’s left up to us as African Americans to show that we have his back, also,<<

Pretty much knee-jerk. They vote for barry the zero because of the color of his skin, not because of his disastrous, anti-American policies.

We have a real problem with racism in this country but it is within the Black and “People of Color” communities, not the White one.

The absurdity is that the blatant racism of that remark, yes racism, is missed by the man uttering it, the media, the left, and most in the middle. Tweak it ever so slightly by saying "Caucasian-Americans for Newt" and you will forever be labeled as a KKK kook.

So I just reread this....

Mr. Smith is supporting Obama just based on his skin color.

Is that about right?

“I have the president’s back and it’s left up to us as African Americans to show that we have his back, also,”

Imagine Dick Butkus or Mike Ditka's reaction to this racist bastard rant?

Blacks for The Messiah is what the whole 2008 Election came down to.

Now, with our Country flooded with Illegals who are voting for Obama, too, plus the parasitic government Union Employees, we sure are close to the tipping point.....

Not all government employees. Most my coworkers at the postal facility I used to work at were Reagan conservatives We used to laugh at the national union's political propaganda.

It’s okay with me if all the black folks vote for the Kenyan and all the white folks vote for the other guy. Really, that’ll be fine by me.

But how do “us, as African Americans,” feel about all the many ways he has hurt YOU? Truly insane.

I really don’t mind the players or coaches supporting Baraq because a lot of them aren’t smart or aware enough to go beyond racial identification. Even if they are “one percenters and likely to get hammered by taxes.

But when this happens, I got a problem.

Yes, his remarks are extremely racists and I find it very offensive. Perhaps it is time to start bombarding the NFL with demands of his apology and resignation.

Try visiting Columbus, Cincinnati, or Toledo postal facilities....you'd be hard-pressed to find blue eyes, let alone non-Democrats.

Ohio is over-run with inner city tribal parasites, and just as you saw yesterday, the Liberal wins by sheer numbers over the "Flyover Country", aka, the rest of the State.

The fraud in the Cities in the voting is legend.

Better yet, demand affirmative action. No more than 13% of any team can be black folks. Got to have at least one woman, one Indian, one Asian and a handicapped guy. Make the teams 'look like America'.
