What other national leader and political party in world history was obsessed with race and concentrating power? Think!

That’s because Obummer is only HALF black. That’s like getting a generic Visa card, not a Gold or Platinum card, with the credit line already maxed out. LOL. IOW, it ain’t working. LOL

Truth be told, the Left is populated with Racists.

Libs use the issue of race to marginalize and divide people. Isn’t this the essence of racism?

Rangel Hits Back at Obama
Rep. Charles Rangel has fired back at President Obama for saying the embattled New York City Democrat should “end his career with dignity,” declaring: “Frankly, he has not been around long enough to determine what my dignity is.”
Speaking at a candidates’ forum in Harlem on Monday night, the 20-term Democrat also said: “For the next two years, I will be more likely to protect his dignity.”
On July 29, a House ethics panel leveled 13 charges against Rangel, including hoarding below-market apartments and improper fundraising.
Obama said in an interview the next day: “He’s somebody who’s at the end of his career. I’m sure that what he wants is to be able to end his career with dignity. And my hope is that it happens.”
But on Aug. 10, a defiant Rangel said on the House floor: “I am not going away. I am here . . .
“If I can’t get my dignity back here, then fire your best shot in getting rid of me through expulsion.”
And at the candidates’ forum on Monday, he told the crowd: “If it’s OK with my doctor, I am going to serve the next two years.”
Then in an interview after the forum, Rangel again referred to Obama’s comment, saying: “My dignity is 80 years old. How can somebody so much younger tell me how to leave with dignity?”

The SOBs in the democrat fascist party are hung up on race because for thirty years it has worked as a way to get their opposition focused on or responding to race rather than the issue in question. Indirection, pure and simple and until now, very, very, effective.

Deal with it by growing a pair and not trying to be "inclusive" on every issue. When such indirection is attempted, make it clear race is straw-man diversion unrelated to the matter at hand, then ignore all further blather about race from the lefty and stay focused on the real issue. Nine times out of ten, handling it that way will have your lefty opponent looking more and more irrational and less and less like he even understands the original issue. If anyone involved thinks you're "racist" for handling it that way, too bad, they've already taken sides so reach those you can. And, repeated applications of this approach ends up moving more than you may expect into the group you can reach.

If black people didn’t vote lock step with the Bolshecrats, liberals would be the most racist group.

Race is a proxy for “oppressed.” In the communist playbook, the “oppressed” must be made to hate their “oppressors,” leading to class struggle, class warfare, civil strife, civil unrest, and revolution which ushers in the long-awaited communist paradise.

It was Eisenhower who first started talking about civil rights and a senator, majority leader continued to block it. Who...Lyndon Johnson and after being elected President got it passed and has taken credit for it since.

Another rewrite of history from the Progressives.

“The Democratic Party has and continues to push for a shift in power from Constitutional rule to one in which the political parties have absolute power, concentrated at the top, Barack Obama.”

Just a little punctuation change ;-)

[a fool in paradise]

They only use race as a wedge issue to bloc voting demographics.

If you are black, hispanic, female, etc. and you vote for a Republican, you are a race traitor, an uncle tom, an aunt jemimah (all of these terms have been used). A “sell out”.

Recall that Barack Obama wrote about how in college he hung out smoking with the Marxist professors, feminist activists, etc. so he would NOT be a “sell out”.

Your skin color only matters to a Democrat if you can serve The Party. Otherwise you are an enemy of the state.

The Civil Rights movement was indeed a part of the Left's assault on the USA. Its intent was to create division along racial lines, the same as Feminism did along gender lines. Below was supposed to be an AP photo of MLK protesting against the war in Vietnam but only the caption will copy.

The Civil Rights movement and the protests against the war were all part of the same Marxist effort. LBJ was very active in furthering the Leftist cause with his Great Society social programs, including Medicare, and his attempt to outdo FDR.

After signing the Civil Rights law into effect in 1964 he called Senator Richard Russell of Georgia and said, "That'll keep the n----rs voting Democrat for the next 200 years."

It was all about moving the socialist agenda forward and maintaining power.
