Is Ralph Nadar Right About Obama Using White Guilt?

For my new readers, let me disclose from the top that I am not an Obama fan. I refuse to pull the lever for him because I think he is unqualified, lacks judgment, and borders near the unethical and illegal too often.
Having said that, is Ralph Nadar right when he says that Obama is using "white guilt" and trying to talk "white." I think I have a split decision on that. As far as talking "white" I get accused of that all the time, it is called EDUCATION people. Not all black people walk around talking in ebonics or slang or like they just fell of the turnip truck. So in this regard Nadar is wrong and clearly has a distorted view of black people.
As for the "White guilt" I have to agree. I have said that all along. Obama is the "only" one that can give a race speech? I think not, but the media and bloggers think so.

I found this interesting. Obama still hasn't closed the deal with a lot of Hillary supporters.

Her point would be better made if she could spell “Nader.”

Ms. Williams sees through the Obama facade. I just wish other Dims could see him for who he really is, before it’s too late.

“White guilt” and legalistic preaching about “race” and “diversity” are factors in Obama’s support.

Her point would be better made if she could spell Nader. Yep. Let's throw the baby out with the bathwater.
and for the record - I would probably have spelled it the same way - so I guess I have little to say also.
But I will anyway ...
It's refreshing to see that there are many AMERICANS FIRST who voice their opinions, even at risk of being labeled 'uncle Tom'

I recently found out some of my younger family members (20’s) in South Carolina were not just voting for Obama but working for his campaign.
When I asked a couple of them about it and why they supported Obama it was ABUNDANTLY CLEAR there is “white guilt” in the minds of a lot of our young people.
Guess where it comes from? Public schools.

It is precisely my white guilt that keeps me from voting for democraps. Democraps wish to continue programs that will keep people of all colors from ever achieving their potential.

Public schools are nothing but Stalinist indoctrination bootcamps for the Democrat party.

I found it even more interesting that this bonehead cannot spell “Nader.” It’s not a tough name.
Hell, one trip to Google coulda taken care of that.

I second Ms. Williams’ sentiments, and would add to them that he appears to be a closet Marxist.

Of course Nader is correct.
But since Osamabama is half aryan and the other half is Luo or possibly arab-luo and not a descendant of the west african slave trade , where does he get the chutzpa to play on white guilt?

The funny thing about liberal white guilt is that those who possess it want to impose penalties on those whites who are much less fortunate than themselves. I know many of these types. They are all in favor of every Federal Housing Project conceived until it comes to their neighborhood.
These types find ways of building walls around their community. They usually have no contact with anyone outside of their own social class. They are for affirmative action until it affects them or their children. They were all in favor of school desegregation and busing back in the day. Their children went to private schools. The list of their sins would take too long. Boy how I hate these guilt ridden white hypocrites.

You are correct but it isn't just public schools. It's the popular culture in general. It's ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS(the worst at it re: Ken Burns), CABLE, NY Times, Washington Post, etc,etc. Just watch TV and these themes appear over and over again. If you are clever you can spot these themes over and over again. We must find ways of combating this. It is destroying our civilization.
P.S. NEVER GIVE MONEY TO PBS AND TELL THEM WHY WHEN THEY ASK!

The funny thing about liberal white guilt is that those who possess it want to impose penalties on those whites who are much less fortunate than themselves. . . . They usually have no contact with anyone outside of their own social class. They are for affirmative action until it affects them or their children. They were all in favor of school desegregation and busing back in the day. Their children went to private schools. Back when school desegragation started, some black friends of mine called these people "Hilltop Liberals". I asked them what they meant and they replied, "Those are people who stand on a hill top and yell orders down to the folks in the valley."
They saw through the desegregated-schools-for-yours, private-schools-for-mine B/S right away.
I remember a TV reporter interviewing the wife of a judge or other prominent liberal and asked if she didn't think it hypocritical that they sent their kids to a private school while preaching desegregation to everybody else. She replied, without a bit of embarrassment, "Why should we experiment with our childrens' future?"
