Obama's racial appeal: White men need not apply
The Washington Times ^ | April 29, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 04/28/2010 7:20:31 PM PDT by Abakumov

President Obama is transforming from being the "post-racial" to the most racial president. In a videotaped appeal made on behalf of the Democratic National Committee, Mr. Obama says he wants to "reconnect" with "young people, African-Americans, Latinos and women who powered our victory in 2008 [to] stand together once again." This attempt to reconnect reveals a substantial disconnect.

Mr. Obama is both president and Democratic Party leader, so political appeals of this type are a fact of life. In this case, Mr. Obama showed a degree of tone-deafness. The historic first black president of the United States should be more cautious than to explicitly call for race-based support. Such a frank appeal seeking to exploit ethnic and gender divisions reinforces the suspicion that Mr. Obama and his party do not represent the whole country. The subtext of the video is "white men need not apply."

So, his message is basically “Help me stick it to whitey”

He believes he has the numbers to displace the oppressive white male power structure and he is going create crisis after crisis to achieve his dismantling of the American Republic.

Why in the world is this surprising to this writer? This conclusion should have been drawn after finding out that he sat in Rev. Wright's church for 20 years. Talk about dumb.

We here in Illinois have known for a long time that ObaMao hated whites. It was no secret here.

His message is utterly, “Help me stick it to whitey”, except the “House Honkies”.

Yep. Sat in “Reverend” Wright’s “Church” for twenty years and never heard a thing.

Hired Al Sharpton of Duke Lacross and Tawana Brawley fame as an advisor.

Yep. Not a racist at all.

The community organizers I know always are ready to condemn “whitey”: Sharpton; Jackson, Obama; All community organizers.

He believes he has the numbers to displace the oppressive white male power structure...

...which was set up by the Constitution, in his eyes. And he already began to render the Constitution meaningless just by his election and ObamaCare being passed into law.

I can't make up my mind whether Obama is a communist first or Muslim first. Both ideologies are not mutually exclusive but compliment each other rather well.

I think communism can accomodate one state religion. I also think Islam can allow communism if it is useful in converting infidels to Islam or reconquering "Muslim lands".

Yup, I'm torn.

He got elected strictly on race (in his case, alleged race) and by definition, supporting his election was a racist act. Thanks Abakumov.

It's no secret that over the last several decades, Democrat policies - like affirmative action - have done just about everything possible to anger and alienate the majority of white males in this country. The only subgroups of white males to whom they appeal are the leftist intellectual ideologues and the union goons. Small wonder they use the mantra "angry white males" to chastise their opposition (like the Tea Party folks) as if there is no reason for white males to be angry at them.

Democratic presidential candidates have lost the white male vote in every presidential election since LBJ's landslide win over Barry Goldwater in 1964. Obama knows that there's no gain to be had by doing anything other than to alienate them.

What's amazing here from a historical perspective is that through most of American history, white males controlled politics just about completely, for better or for worse. Now, under 'Rat administrations, they are largely ignored or detested, to be placed on the historical scrapheap - unless they pay in to gain influence as "friends" of their statist masters.
