The Racism of the Black Community
Townhall ^ | December 9, 2009 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 12/09/2009 3:33:51 AM PST by Zakeet

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.

I make it a point to call out the black racists whenever they play the race card without substance. They don't like it and normally shut up quickly when the light of truth shines on their racism.

As Edmund Burke said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

The problem isn't purely a Black- White issue.

This is a war between the Communist system and ours. In New York, at the UN General Assembly on Oct. 12 1960, Nikita Khrushchev banged his shoe on a desk and screamed “We will bury you”. They are doing a very good job.

Communist are involved in every movement that seeks to destroy the fabric of our Nation.

The enemy is within the walls and is even controlling our Government.

Racism and the race card as they are today in America are in form a kind of animism. The “race card” industry produces this so as to make a poorly or miseducated population useful to the establishment, while at the same time giving the white liberals something to play big mother to, at a profit.

The vast majority of blacks in this country are racist!

Very ignorant statement which, base on your standards, would be a racist statement.

Of course they wouldn't. They wouldn't support Steele, Thomas, etc. Of course some folks here are hesitant to acknowledge this due to their own brand of race card playing.

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.

Not necessary. Blacks are continuing to extinguish themselves at an increasing rate.

800,000 abortions a year and 70% of their children born into single-mother families.

If being black were redefined as having no white ancestors dating to their great-grandparents, I wonder if you could find a million native black Americans.

How about “the most racist people in America are black liberals”.

Actually, in my experiences living my entire life among black people and being black myself, most blacks actually have a deep rooted adoration for whites and often treat whites better than they treat other blacks.

Define “extinguish”, since the black population continues to increase.

Only by legal definition.

If we quit counting blacks by saying they have one black great-grandparent, and said they’re white if they have one white great-grandparent, there’d be almost no native black-Americans.

I find that to be a very strange statement. Would you please elaborate on it?

Ignorance is is a state of not being properly informed. Sounds like a self description to me. You should get out more.

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.

There is a lot of secret and low level hatred out there. This could get really ugly.

shade2, I meant no offense to you personally. I have known many wonderful black people in my life, and thank God everyday for one like yourself who can skin past skin color and use their brain to determine who to support.

But when I see polls which show that 91% of the black community still approves of Obama (up +1 since election) while at the same time he is at 39% among whites... It makes me so mad I want to spit. Nothing, NOTHING can explain a disparity like that besides racism on the part of blacks blindly supporting one of their own. It is like OJ all over again, but this time our country hangs in the balance. If even 30% of blacks turned on Obama he would be finished.

My skin is black. So is my billfold’s skin. That’s why I don’t support the CIC, who also has black skin. But yeah, before you blow your top over the increase in the support, just remember the nature of polling. It’s a 1% increase.

You might be losing your marbles over statistical noise.
