I believe African-Americans are feeling racially optimistic because they respect how our first brother president is handling his business

Nothing like a little street lingo to bolster the intellectual credibility of a writer.

Oh those bad white people shooting poor black people.

It’s the blacks that are commiting the violent crime against the white people. Black/White interracial crime is 9-1 committed by blacks.

Blacks need to find a moral compass. I don’t believe most have one (abortion and most other moral issues) because they have no problems voting for a man like obama. They certainly won’t find a moral compass with people like hussein obama or rev. Wright.

Because "black folks" support abortion, homosexuality, porn, Communism, evolution, ad nauseum? Good grief, they worship like rednecks. What "bible" are they reading?

The arch-typical Black political hero must not be Nat Turner, John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, or Malcolm X but Hubert Henry Harrison.

They have opened my eyes and NOW I see the Democrats for the hateful racists they are.

understanding this historic moment through a black cultural lens.

Well, while I understand they are busy being black racists, they might want to take a breath and try understanding through an American Cultural lens. Then they might, MAYBE, just might have some thin inkling as to what an utter disaster their support and voting for a black communist "anonymous" presidential candidate really is.

However, I do not believe that will ever happen. Racism appears to be ingrained in the “liberal.” They can not stop fixating on it.

Okay, okay, I get it. They love that a black guy got elected. But at some point, even for them, that novelty is going to have to wear off and they have to come to the realization that, man, this guy is a fool.

Obama is black?????

[jiggyboy]

But the best part of Jan. 20 was that Barack and Michelle got out of the bulletproof, black Cadillac and walked the streets . . . and no one shot at them.

oh.
my.
God.

I don't think it's possible for a white person in 2009 to say anything more racist about black people than this stark statement -- about whites, let's agree on that right now -- that whites were driven so completely, foaming-at-the-mouth insane by the election that it was a certainty that somebody -- and probably more than one -- would try to assassinate Obama within minutes of his appearing in public on Inauguration day.

... the percentage of black Americans who believe race relations in America are generally good has doubled since July ... I think the answer lies in understanding this historic moment through a black cultural lens.

"Black" Americans, looking through a "black" cultural lens ... sounds great!

"White" Americans, looking through a "white" cultural lens ... sounds racist as hell!

The decent black folks who played by the rules and did well for themselves are going to be slammed just as hard as the rest of us. Too bad, but entirely fair.
