MSNBC Blames Recession on a Racist, Wall Street Conspiracy
NewsRealBlog.com ^ | November 19, 2009 | Ben Johnson

The vast, racist conspiracy against Barack Obama is no longer limited to evil 9/12 protesters, Fox News, and those who utter the obviously racist code word "socialist." According to an MSNBC talk show host, it has spread to Wall Street, which is deliberately prolonging the recession to keep the black man down.

On Tuesday night's episode of The Ed Show, host Ed Schultz asked NAACP president Ben Jealous if he agreed America was in recession because "there are maybe some institutions on Wall Street that do not want to see a black president succeed?" Jealous, surprisingly, disagreed. (See the question at 4:52 in this video. N.B. how Jealous's mouth involuntarily contorts when Ed launches into Louis Farrakhan territory.)

Ed Schultz: "Mr. Jealous, I’m going ask you a direct question here tonight, and it has not been talked about in the media, but I’ve thought about this in recent weeks, because the credit should not be this tight as much as the American taxpayer has done for Wall Street: Do you think that there are maybe some institutions on Wall Street that do not want to see a black president succeed, and that’s why the money is tight?"

Ben Jealous: “I don’t think that’s the case. I don’t think that’s the case. I don’t subscribe to those theories…We’ve got to stop focusing on race, start focusing on reality, which is all of us are hurting.”

This rebuttal of a theory Schultz admitting thinking about for "weeks" is no small story, coming from the organization that blamed George W. Bush for James Byrd's murder, and that is headed by Julian Bond, who....

I don’t suppose it matters that the recession started long before anyone knew for sure Obama would be the Democratic nominee, let alone president.

I’d like to know who the hell stays awake nights thinking up this crazy b.s.??? The left comes out with some of the most far-fetched, idiot reasonings I’ve ever heard.

Sorry, I don’t buy it. Only leftists cut off their nose to spite their faces, as in hating tax cuts even those revenue to the government increases. Wall Street will never hate a person of a certain race more than they love their money.

Who is Ed Schultz to say how tight credit should be? What, banks have to lend just because they have enough money not to go under immediately? We should be thanking God that at the very least they’re concerned about the future, and concrned about not getting into the exact same trouble they were in a year ago by doing the same stupid thing (i.e. overextend credit).

Wait, Wait...which is it?

Last time I heard, it was fat-cat wallstreet types that were making too much money and paying their execs too much compensation.

Now they're saying that these companies are deliberately hurting themselves financially just to stick it to Barry.

But, give him credit where due for an honest answer, even though it might tick off some of his homies.

I don't know why this reminded me of Eddie Murphy's sketch on Saturday Night Live where he lives as a white man.

http://snltranscripts.jt.org/84/84iwhitelikeeddie.phtml

[ cut to Eddie at a bank, talking to a black Loan Officer ]

Loan Officer: Now, let me get this straight, Mr., ..uh.. Mr. White. You'd like to borrow $50,000 from our bank, but you have no collateral, you have no credit. You don't even have any I.D. Is that correct?

Eddie Murphy: That's right.

Loan Officer: Mr. White, I'm sorry. This is not a charity. This is a business..

White Loan Officer: Uh, Harry, why don't you, uh, take your break now? I'll take care of.. uh.. Mr. White.

Loan Officer: Well.. okay. Thanks, Bob. [ exits ]

White Loan Officer: [ laughs, then sits ] That was a close one, wasn't it?

Eddie Murphy: It certainly was.

White Loan Officer: We don't have to bother with these formalities, do we, Mr. White? Huh?

Eddie Murphy: What a silly Negro!

White Loan Officer: Just take what you want, Mr. White. Pay us back anytime. Or don't. We don't care.

Eddie Murphy: Tell me, do you know of any other banks like this in this area?

$50,000 with no collateral, no credit and no I.D? I think I found the origin of the housing bubble.

The recession was caused by racist white Democrats who believe blacks are unable to support themselves and must be given constant handouts or they’ll starve.

Proves they don’t watch NBA basketball.

Yes, it started shortly after the RATs took control of both houses of congress.

“..... that do not want to see a black president succeed....”

Americas First Failed Black Pres-dent has already failed and miserably so.

I am now looking forward to his complete political destruction. I would also like to see him experience complete personal financial ruin..... he has worked very hard to achieve failure, he deserves his prize.

I have never cared about the color of his skin. HE, and others like him, have made race a big deal. THEY are the ones that have taken race relations backwards by several decades.

I have never in my life been a racist, I’m 61, but within the past 2 years I have been called everything but a white man. Apparently I am a racist, regardless of my lifelong beliefs. Well surprise~surprise...I no longer care, period.

Blacks and the libs have pushed this racist crap too far and I refuse to help turn it around. THEY can either live with the mess they made or try to turn it around themselves. I don’t need to “change”, I never did... it’s their turn to change, it’s their problem, it is THEY that are the true racists.

Obama has built his temporary success on a house of cards..... race cards. It will fall.

So now I am a racist because I love my country and want her to survive. Okay fine, then I will be a proud racist.

Obama, “I drink your milkshake.”

I do feel bad for the good conservatives that happen to be black... and I wish them well, I wish them strength, I wish them the same as I wish for me. I also wish I didn’t sunburn so easily. ;>)

Schultze should have asked if the Apollo 11 moon landing was actually an elaborate hoax that allowed President Nixon cover to appropriate less money to welfare programs and secretly enrich wealthy white cronies.
