According to allies of President Obama, all opposition to Obama's policies is driven by racism. "We think all of it is!" shouts Gwen Dawkins, a Democratic "activist" from Michigan. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) explains that "As far as African-Americans are concerned, we think most of it is." Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.) agrees, stating that "There's a very angry, small group of folks that just didn't like the fact that Barack Obama won the presidency. With some, I think it is [about race]." As Jimmy Carter famously stated, "I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American."
Apparently, racism must be spreading like wildfire. According to a Gallup poll released this week, only 47 percent of Americans now approve of President Obama's job performance. Only 42 percent of independents approve. In the white community, according to a Nov. 24 Gallup poll, his approval rating has slipped from 61 percent in January to 39 percent. In the black community, his support has actually increased, from 90 percent to 91 percent.
The fact is that it isn't the racism of the white community that explains President Obama's plummeting job approval -- the skyrocketing deficit, unemployment rate and inflation take care of that.
It's the racism of the black community that explains his approval rating's continued buoyancy.
How can blacks truly approve of Obama more highly than they did when he was elected? The black unemployment rate is 15.6 percent today, as opposed to 11.9 percent in December 2008, over 50 percent higher than the white unemployment rate. There is no rhyme or reason to the continued support for a man who has driven the economy off the rails.
But there is racism.
President Obama fulfills the three requirements to receive the approval of the black community: he is black; he is not currently having sex with a white woman; and he is liberal. And he receives the lifelong and unwavering loyalty of the black community for it.
By contrast, the black community hates another prominent half-black man. This half-black man happens to be a political independent who has sex with white women. His name is Tiger Woods.
It's only racism when Whitey does it
About the only upside to the Obama presidency is that it seems to be bringing the issue of racism to a head. At some point this country needs to have a big nasty screaming match about race -- an honest venting where all sides speak honestly and are heard -- so that we can get it behind us.
So I am calling a spade a spade.
The vast majority of blacks in this country are racist!
First, Obama is half black/half white.
Second, He is enacting socialist/communist principles.
Third, He is proving himself to be the worst president in history re:economy, unemployment, foreign affairs, energy, and health care.
There is no racism here.
He just $ucks!
The primary reason is that Obammie is a Commie.
The fact that he is a Kenyan-American...well, he refuses to disclose that. It could be that he is purely Kenyan. So that little snubbing of Constitutional requirements has a little something to do with it.
But mostly, we oppose him because he is an old-school communist in an Armani suit. Obammie and his Commies are intentionally destroying the US dollar, the US economy, and are complicit in helping the mega-financial and investment firms (i.e., the banksters) rob Americans of their savings while his commie congress robs us of our earnings.
Their goal is not redistribution of wealth. It is redistribution of EARNINGS.
His race? Who needs to oppose him because of his race when there are so many more, valid, substantial reasons to oppose him.
I will grant this regarding racism though — his election, the way he has used the race card, and those who defend him based on race has fully opened my eyes to the destructive degree of racism that contorts and controls such a large percentage of blacks in America.
This entire Gramscian-led fiasco of the sleeper commie pushed up to the podium has made me realize how much blacks hate whites and how successful that illogical and self-destructive hatred has been in electing leftists.
They are thoroughly brainwashed.
Who else who was raised not to be racist and who truly looks at individuals as individuals but has had their eyes opened now asks, “What if all whites stopped working, stopped providing food, industry, jobs, taxes? How long would blacks survive without whites? Who is more dependent upon whom? Yet who is being incited to bite the hand that feeds them?”
I had a long talk with a co-worker the other day about this (we’re both white males), and we were trying to make sense of the racism card that blacks so conveniently use. Let’s take a look at anthropology for answers on some of this.
Many of us “white folk” would be hard pressed to explain how it is that a single black woman can have six kids from five different men, drive a Mercedes, get her hair done once a week, and yet still apply for welfare and show up at soup kitchens with her six kids while so many of us are struggling to pay our bills or even find a job. Those of us who are employed might have to work extra to make ends meet, but we always do. On the other hand, somehow the unemployed 18 year old black boy from down the street can afford to put $10K worth of rims on his 1985 Chevy Caprice.
I know this doesn’t represent the black community as a whole, but anthropologically, the culture of Black America is steeped in misogyny and learning how to rig the game. They’re busted for selling pot to elementary school kids, but when in jail, they learn how to break into cars and homes and get converted to a religion that, for all intents and purposes, wants to destroy America and everything we stand for.
This comes down to “tribes.” Every one of us belongs to a tribe whether it’s our nuclear family, extended family, neighborhood watch, homeowner’s association, church group, sports team, or office department. We look out for each other and do our best to maintain the herd. What if the black community doesn’t want to maintain the status quo because they finally feel like a member of their tribe will take from other tribes (legally!) to provide them with “things.”
Personally, I’m none the worse for the wear. I have an education, bought and paid for by my own hard work. I have a good job. I pay my taxes. I maintain the functionality of my automobile and my home. I keep food on my family’s table and a roof over our heads. I don’t have money for nor interest in rims, rap music, misogyny, grand theft auto (the act or the game), Cristal cognac, or racism. I am simply a white man doing what my parents taught me: how to succeed.
Yet now we have a “black” man in the White House, everything’s supposed to be better, no racism anymore because the Messiah is here, yet at no point in my life have I ever felt a disdain for this culture of excess as I do now, and Barack Hussein Obama is single-handedly deconstructing the world around me in order to provide his “tribe” with more at the expense of my having less.
And what are the members of Obama’s “tribe” going to do with their “whitey money?” They’re going to buy rims, lease Benz’s, and continue to live in their own little fantasy world of materialism and murder.
I am NOT speaking for the majority of blacks. I work with, live near, play with, and converse with many conservative black men who think the same way I do, but sadly, the excesses of the few reflect poorly on the restraint of the many.
Let’s face it folks, we are living in a country where we, as whites, no longer have a stump to stand on. We are the limbless majority floundering in front of a very angry “tribe” of folks who think that my ancestors, who didn’t emigrate here until 1890, are responsible for enslaving people they think they are related to.
Racism is a term of convenience. I think it’s time to start throwing it back at them. I feel more subjugated due to my race than I ever have, and I will point my finger directly at Barack Hussein Obama, the President of the United States of America, for putting me in this position.

You nailed it.
You asked how long blacks would last without whites. I wonder if the answer might be found in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
I beg to differ. They are going after wealth as well as earnings. The plans they have in place are designed to break down wealth so it can be distributed.
Taxes on retirement withdrawals; forcing people to pay a tax on their health care plan that can afford it while subsidizing it for those that "can't" is forcing those that can to dig into their "wealth" to pay the fees; capping our exhalations is another way to break down wealth and force us to put it into the distribution process.
These people are devils - Satan's spawn. They believe only they have the ability to make things right. Which is to say they know how to pay off the "poor" for votes in a was conservatives never would have dreamed of.
You are not disagreeing.
I was merely pointing out that “wealth” is a red herring.
They are going after ALL of it.
I am not wealthy, yet they are taking from me.
The middle class is playing a dangerous game if they feel some safety that only the rich are going to be robbed.
They want to take everything we have earned (savings, i.e., “wealth” by their definition), that we are earning, and that we and our children will ever earn.
Race card is thier debit card. The rats have conditioned them and put them in a state of poverty where they have become soley dependent on them for thier survivial and sadly their black leaders are also taking advantage of their situtation. Feeding off thier own. Keeping them uneducated and poor guarentees them a voting block
“By contrast, the black community hates another prominent half-black man. This half-black man happens to be a political independent who has sex with white women. His name is Tiger Woods”
does the author provide a source for this inflammatory racist assertion?
How do you know? Think the media would reveal it if he were?
The “black/white” divide will end up destroying this country. As far as I’m concerned, in many ways, it already has.
“At some point this country needs to have a big nasty screaming match about race”
Did you miss the riots in the ‘60’s?
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
It was black racism that elected Obama in the first place.
Sorry, maybe I am just pessimistic but of all the things I have seen working in the inner city, a screaming match/honest debate is not past due, it’s just past. I have interviewed more black people than vast majority of people and it was rarely pleasant. We keep making excuses to hide the truth like,”most black people are not like that”. I am here to tell you based on 15 years of life experience and job experience of close observation and interaction, that most are like “that”. I have had opportunity for more than a few to bare their souls. Most blacks hate white people. Some for good reason, most because their forebears passed it along.
I wish it were different. God, I wish were different. But it’s not. I sincerely do not know how to resolve the issue but I assure it can never be fixed by continuing to spend wealth on those who will NEVER be satisfied.
“he is not currently having sex with a white woman”
That we know of.....
He may have several wives. Or female Secret Service. Or young, Black Secret Service.
“Did you miss the riots in the ‘60’s?”
Yep, I was serving aboard ship at that time and we only had about a dozen blacks aboard. They didn’t riot, but they gave crappy haircuts and lost a lot of my laundry. LOL
