OBAMA’S RACE OBSESSION
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, Founder and President of BOND Action weighed in today on the controversy over the firing of Shirley Sherrod, a black Agriculture Department official abruptly dismissed for alleged racist remarks captured on edited video footage. Once the full video was aired and her speech was put in context, officials realized that they acted prematurely and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack publicly apologized. President Obama phoned Mrs. Sherrod yesterday to personally express his regret over her treatment by his administration. The following is Rev. Peterson’s statement regarding this matter:
“The Obama Administration has a serious problem with race—they’re obsessed with it! Once again they tried to exploit what they thought was a racially charged situation and it backfired on them. Far from being a post-racial president, Barack Obama is the most racially divisive president in history. Here are a few examples:
“Neither President Obama nor any top administration official repudiated the NAACP for their lies and slander labeling the Tea Party movement as ‘racist.’ In fact, First Lady Michelle Obama embraced their platform and delivered the keynote address at the NAACP’s annual convention on the eve before they passed their anti-Tea Party resolution.
“Recently the Justice Department dismissed voter intimidation charges against the racist New Black Panther Party—showing that this administrations will not prosecute black racists despite overwhelming evidence presented to them.
“Last July, President Obama accused the Cambridge Police Department of ‘acting stupidly’ when they arrested Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates who is black—once again Obama was on the wrong side of a racially-charged issue.
“These examples show that Obama is very much a man with a racial obsession. His administration uses race as a wedge to distract and divide Americans while they advance their radial left-wing political agenda.”

Jesse says WHITE PEOPLE STAND UP TO RACIST BLACKS NOW OR LOSE YOUR COUNTY, BECAUSE THEY WILL GO AS FAR AS YOU LET THEM!
Congressman Rangel, up. Should add more prestige to the post-racial pres—ent.
I envy the Chinese sometimes. They get to live in a country where there is no thirteen percent minority that the majority don’t have to waste time standing up to, day in and day out. They get to live lives that while the government is fascists, but not constantly licking the boots of racist blacks.
Did you forget the sarcasm tag?
They are counting on us to be ladies and gentlemen and physical cowards.
I really don’t know anymore.
can anyone help someone who can’t figure out how to link to a picture?
Amen to that!
The original Breitbart clip of Sherrod was not without context! It included her epiphany that the man needing her help wasn’t a white farmer but a poor farmer. I confess, I found the 2 1/2 minute video rather touching.
In fact, Breitbart begins the report with the words: Context is everything. It’s as if he’s anticipating the firestorm of misunderstanding and offering a discrete warning.
He also says in the original report, "Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white man is poor and needs help."
Thats right, geesh!
Hi, I am that way too often!
He knows exactly what he is doing, not community organizing but bringing down Ameria, destroying whites.
” He knows exactly what he is doing, not community organizing but bringing down Ameria, destroying whites.”
Verbatim
Time to get over it!
You betcha!
Give an inch they take a mile.
We are now in a world where nice folks will get beat to a pulp.
“BECAUSE THEY WILL GO AS FAR AS YOU LET THEM!”
Just like all BULLIES!
