Obama: Country Must Fight ‘Impulse to Call Johnny Back for a Job Interview But Not Jamal’
PJ Tatler ^ | 6-26-2015 | Bridget Johnson

But, the president continued, “I don’t think God wants us to stop there” at just taking flags down.

“Perhaps it causes us to examine what we’re doing to cause some of our children to hate. Perhaps it softens hearts towards those lost young men, tens and tens of thousands caught up in the criminal-justice system and lead us to make sure that that system’s not infected with bias, that we embrace changes in how we train and equip our police so that the bonds of trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve make us all safer and more secure,” he said.

“Maybe we now realize the way a racial bias can infect us even when we don’t realize it so that we’re guarding against not just racial slurs but we’re also guarding against the subtle impulse to call Johnny back for a job interview but not Jamal, so that we search our hearts when we consider laws to make it harder for some of our fellow citizens to vote.”

Obama also resurrected his calls for more gun control, stressing “for too long, we’ve been blind to the unique mayhem that gun violence inflicts upon this nation.”

“The vast majority of Americans, the majority of gun owners want to do something about this. We see that now,” he said. “And I’m convinced that by acknowledging the pain and loss of others, even as we respect the traditions, ways of life that make up this beloved country, by making the moral choice to change, we express God’s grace.”

The president added it would “be a betrayal of everything Reverend Pinckney stood for, I believe, if we allow ourselves to slip into a comfortable silence again.”

And if we can’t fight that impulse on our own, the government will help us fight it.

President A—hole needs to understand that what has happened in the last few years (in no small part due to his own actions) makes it less likely than ever that Jamal will get that call.

Its racist to criticize Jamal for speaking Ebonics. You hurt the self esteem of people if you note they don’t speak standard English.

What’s up with these unusual black names anyway? Back in my day, I went to school with a number of black students. Their names were John, Michael, Milton, Karen, Allison, among others. Not a Jamal or Sheniqua among them.

So is Jamal Black or Arab?

Maybe it's some incomprehensible "inside sports" thing.

And while he's on that subject ...

Isn't it time fight the impulse to call Gallant back for a job interview but not Goofus?

All the Johnnys need to realize that Obama has just declared that they are worth less than Obama’s favored classes.

If ø is against the Confederate flag there yet must be something powerfully positive in its modern imagery.

I will never hire someone that is racist by calling me a racist because I am white. No way.
