In an attempt to explain how race will impact Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama's run for the White House, Newsweek has created a "Racial Resentment Index" exclusively for white people without measuring such biases of non-whites.

Give me a break.

HILARIOUS !!!!

Uh, could we get one also for Asians, Catholics who are white, Catholics and/or Baptists who are Hispanic?

[BipolarBob]

This sounds racist.

[Theodore R.]

I think some of the resentment for Oprah’s Obama may be that he gets a “free ride” and doesn’t “pay his dues” like whites have to do. A white with his skimpy qualifications would be told to seek other employment.

This is just another effort to guilt whites to vote for BHO. Never mind that he is most likely the most unelectable liberal democrat in the history of elections, the msm is picking BHO only because of his color. Who is practicing racism now?

[EagleUSA]

The putrid lizards of the rotten liberal MSM, are working hard to set up as many “traps” based on race that they can for Osama Obama....such that anyone attacking him on ANY VALID POINT will be called a RACIST.

And the MSM does not think it is all TOTALLY TRANSPARENT!

[ExTexasRedhead]

The American MSM would make Joseph Goebbels proud. The fact that Hussein Obama is a radical socialist whose goal in life is to turn the USA into a third-world toilet along with taking away our freedom is why we won’t be voting for him. The fact that he is black isn’t pertinent.

Will Newsweek be running an issue dedicated to White, Liberal guilt?

Or, is that just every issue they publish?

[the anti-liberal]

I'm multi-ethnic, so I don't really have a place in all this- but it seems to me that non-whites tend to be the most racist of all.

La Raza [The Race]? Black Liberation Theology? Etc...

[AliVeritas]

Those racist pigs... nice to coincide it with the UN human rights muslim rep running around in our country... bastards. I’m sure Hillary’s little statement helped as well.

We have to freep Newsweek... all there is to it.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

The elements of the scale are bizarre, to say the least.

For instance: “Disapprove of racial preferences” has a multiplier of 2 — same as “Disapprove of interracial marriage”. The former is a legitimate social policy position (in fact, it indicates a desire to stop judging people on the basis of race); the later is more of an indicator of racism.

A white with his skimpy qualifications would be told to seek other employment.

Let's face it. If Obama were white, he'd have been told to go back to work, get some experience and wait his turn.

There is nothing propping up his candidacy aside from skin color.

Affirmative action at its absolute finest, transforming a demonstrably empty suit into a legitimate candidate for President of the United States.

Liberals are dangerous.

Newsweek...what do you expect from the very rag that has hired Markos Moulitsas, AKA the “Kos” from Daily Kos to be a columnist?

[maine-iac7]

ARe you unaware the blacks can't be/never are racist? They love ‘whitey’ - s/

But seriously, there is something sinister afoot that has been building for some time. PC is largely to keep whitey quiet - he/she doesn't even have to say something objectionable - anything whitey says can be pounced on and twisted into a ‘hate’ crime...

PC is the stealth weapon to keep whitey quiet as the Marxists take over and as the Black Liberationists gain the power they intend to have over whitey. This faction does not want equality. They want power, reparations, etc./

The fact that the UN is now investigating racism in America aught to wake us up...and scare us to death...

[AliVeritas]

Some communist, CAIR-like victimization crap from the MSM ping.

[bill1952]

I think that FR should take the lead in establishing a “news media resentment poll” to track the resentment of Americans to the MSM.

And race doesn’t matter one whit.

[romanesq]

More political correct nonsense from Newspeak.
Orwell is rolling in his grave.

>PC is the stealth weapon to keep whitey quiet as the Marxists take over and as the Black Liberationists gain the power they intend to have over whitey.

This faction does not want equality. They want power,

Ding, ding, ding. - Stop FR. We have the FR Post of the Day.
