Heck, I thought there was a lot of content. Especially the part where he said anyone who voted for Reagan or listens to talk radio is a racist.
Obama said today;
“Like the anger within the black community, these resentments aren’t always expressed in polite company. But they have helped shape the political landscape for at least a generation. Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition. Politicians routinely exploited fears of crime for their own electoral ends. Talk show hosts and conservative commentators built entire careers unmasking bogus claims of racism while dismissing legitimate discussions of racial injustice and inequality as mere political correctness or reverse racism.
Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze – a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed; a Washington dominated by lobbyists and special interests; economic policies that favor the few over the many. And yet, to wish away the resentments of white Americans, to label them as misguided or even racist, without recognizing they are grounded in legitimate concerns – this too widens the racial divide, and blocks the path to understanding.”
In other words, if you don’t see things my way, you are a racist. If you don’t support my Marxist ideology, you are a racist.
If Obama truly wanted to improve racial relations he would have spoken about INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY and how the war on poverty and liberal agenda have destroyed black neighborhoods and families. He would have made the case for supporting school vouchers.
Not to mention, it takes a lot of nerve to attack talk radio and defend “Reverend” Wright.
Especially the part where he said anyone who voted for Reagan or listens to talk radio is a racist.
Par for the course. Standard leftwing "red-meat" for the DUmb mASSES..........
He really said that?
