Obama’s pick to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency once said that a “majority of white voters” would never vote for a black candidate and that they should be excluded from “the democratic process.”
The White House announced Wednesday that Obama will nominate Democratic North Carolina Congressman Mel Watt to take over the FHFA, which regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the country’s government sponsored mortgage companies.
Watt, the former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, has in the past accused white Americans of racism.
“There would be a substantial majority of white voters who would say that under no circumstances would they vote for an African American candidate,” Watt said Oct. 14, 2005 during a Washington hearing held by the National Commission on the Voting Rights Act.
The Voting Rights Act should be expanded to “adjust districts to take [racially motivated voting] into account,” Watts said.
Such voters “need to be factored out of the equation,” Watt said, because “I’ve got no use for them in the democratic process.”
According to a contemporaneous report of the hearing published by the Cybercast News Service, Watt said that black voters — unlike whites — don’t have “an absolute commitment” to voting for a candidate based on race.

Obama housing nominee: Most white people won’t vote for black candidate, should be excluded from ‘democratic process’
I wonder how Tim Scott was elected in SC-1 in 2010?

I suspect that just about every FReeper has voted or supported “A” black candidate at some point. The problem is that we haven’t voted or supported the democrat approved black candidate.
Now, how many blacks would vote for a white candidate if a black is running? They went 95% for Obama and he is half white raised by whites.
Well his confirmation proceedings will be must see TV! I hope the republicans go after him in a big way. This is outrageous.
One day we'll wonder why we allowed political correctness to keep us from speaking out against it.
There’s a bizarre track record to this business of appointing black people to head up HUD, or put them in charge of FHA/VA, fannie mae, freddie mac ~ and that is virtually all of them have gone to jail, or have otherwise been caught stealing.
I would warmly invite this asshat to try to disenfranchise me. I’ve carried a gun into the voting booth for the last thirty years. Please try.
Great. Another flippin’ racist pig in the Obama regime. Just what America needs.
If I recall correctly, 50% of white women voted for Obama, though I dont’ know how many white men voted for Obama.
This guy is a piece of dung. Black caucus member with no knowledge. Demarco has done a magnificent job of stopping waste for tax payers despite all the democrats demanding more give a ways. This guy should be dropped like smelly dead tuna.
I have a lot of respect for De Marco. He has been under blistering attack by the democrats who want to take your money and give it to deadbeats.
You are kidding right??
Republicans will be lining up around the block to kiss his buttocks.
Say: Isn’t this Barney Fags old job?
The one he used to destroy our monetary system.
So now we replace an idiot with another one. This clown once headed the CBC , There is no organization in the history of the world more racist than the Congressional Black caucus.
Sadly, not satire.
So the fact that Obama got something like 97% of the black vote...that’s ok with this idiot, right?
God, give me strength.
Short-timer syndrome. He only has three and a half years to destroy as much as he can.
There are still a lot of white people who don’t like being ripped off, or voting for thieves, like black Democrats, or white Democrats, red Democrats, or yellow Democrats. Democrats should be excluded from the Democratic process, and there wouldn’t be a racial problem.
Gee, can you blame them with racists like this in our government?
Sounds like an SOB. Despicable.
I would vote for a crispy 100% black man like Walt Williams any day over scum like you, Uhbama and any Klintoon.
I, for one, actually don't look at color.... But I do pay very close attention to the content of character.
