I remember this delightful elderly white woman who, after Barack Obama won the Democratic nomination, looked into the television camera and told America that she would never vote for him because hed only take care of the blacks. Now that Obama has been elected, Im picking up on self-pity, worry, paranoia, resentment, and victimhood among some white Americans, especially thin-skinned white males.
These folks need to chill out...

“Black President, White Fears”
February 8, 2009 - by Ruben Navarrette Jr.
It seems to me that Mr. Navarrette shares Obozo’s resentment of whites.
Yes, there was discrimination toward Blacks & Hispanics. But this should be taken in historic perspective.
Government miss-treatment of the white population in the Deep South during Reconstruction, cemented bias toward blacks (and Northerners).
Governmental miss-treatment of the white settlers in Texas brought about the Texas War of Independence from Mexico. That cemented bias toward some Hispanics in Texas. (note- there were also Mexicans who fought for independence then.)
Yes, it still exists in some places, but it is a reciprocal thing. And much diminished in the white community.
Black racism appears to be on the rise since Obozo’s election.
“Americans are two weeks into the tenure of the first openly Socialist/MArxist president, and already some are coming unglued!”
There. Fixed it. :)
Seeing how these are the very attributes which have caused so much pain for the black community, I think the author is playing a little game.
I am picking up none of this. The occassional troll and racist (yes, they exist), I've seen mostly anger at the rise of socialism in this country due to Obama. Indeed, the only one of these things I've seen is worry--worry that our way of life is being pushed aside in a tide of liberal identity politics.
Someone is obsessed with Obama's race, but it sure ain't the folks who oppose his politics.
Growing up in a segregated city I saw lots of prejudice and racism. There were plenty of prejudiced racist whites back then, but certainly also prejudiced and racist blacks. I have to say, as I look now I am amazed at how far we’ve come and I almost never see or hear prejudice from the whites I interact with. I’m sure it still exists in many places, but I honestly rarely see it. On the other hand, I still see a fair amount of black anti-white prejudice and racism. This will change too, but in my opinion that’s where we are now. I want us to live in a color blind society. As long as politicians continue to use race to their advantage we will have a difficult time getting there.
you would be surprised how many old people zombie democrats just see (d).
It just proves that ANYBODY LITERALLY with a “D” gets their vote.
Not me. I was actually seriously betting it would be four to six months. I figured by then the libs would be so nostalgic to call somene a racist they couldn't help themselves.

I underestimated the liberal urge for that "judging" they're always telling us is wrong.
he is half black and all red. :)
I'd be happy to swap 0bama for Thomas Sowell or for Walter E. Williams.
“”3 WEEKS before the “you’re a racist if you don’t like 0bama” stuff started. Who had 3 weeks in the pool?”

I thought it would be longer too. Were you also convinced republicans would win, that American sense would prevail? We both of us don’t realize how bad things are!
My back window will soon have your...
"I don't dislike 0bama because of the color of his skin but for the content of his communist character. "
I think I might add an exclamation mark at the end though
Well him and his henchman did take over the census apparatus, so I assume the black part of our population is now around 50%, and they will all vote.
Thanks for your input Barack.
I think of Obama as half white, in a white society by his white radical, communist sympathizing folks. It is his trashy white side that I find most troubling.
Yup...many view this as payback time.
Give me a break!
Your statement is one of the most accurate I can remember.
It is a much better title than the one the writer used.
I refuse to apologize for fighting against an enemy of the Republic, that is what obama is, it what his followers are... enemies of the republic.
