Jackie Robinson was a Republican.
Branch Rickey told Jackie Robinson of the lies, taunts and harangues he would receive, and that he had to ignore it and play through it, not let them break him.
Obama uses every opportunity to characterize bad policy and unrelated political events as having racial undertones.
Well he does have Brainless Joe Biden as a sidekick.
Jackie Robinson was Jackie Robinson. When I was a kid, I really admired him. Because he was admirable. A great player, a great guy.
Obama is more like Jessie Jackson. But a whole lot worse. There is absolutely nothing admirable about Obama in any way, shape, or form.
These were my thoughts when I first read that Matthews said this. He is didn't see a person, he saw only a "black" man except when Obama made his speech.
Obama has made it much harder for any future black presidential candidate Republican or Dem. African Americans have invested too much of hope in the “historic first black president.” Now they are entangled in his fall from grace. Not fair but true.
Race relations are uglier on every level than two years ago. Maybe a more vigorous debate and frank discussion of race will be one positive result of this national nightmare.
If Jackie Robinson had mugged everyone in the stadium and gave the spoils to his friends, he wouldn't have made it.
If Jackie Robinson spent the entire game bowing and scraping to members of the other team, he wouldn't have made it.
If Jackie Robinson had screwed up every play he was involved in, then blamed it on the player he replaced every time, he wouldn't have made it.
I'm not old enough to have known Jackie Robinson, but trust me, Obama - you ain't him.
I would vote for a black conservative over a white leftist without batting an eye every single time.
I know Jackie Robinson, and.....I know the “Boys of Summer”, the Brooklyn Dodgers!!! There is a tremendous difference between Jackie Robinson and POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!! What is it? Mr. Robinson was an American and....Mr. Obama is not!!! It is as simple as the nose on your face!!! And....I am not talking about some silly birth certificate. I am talking about two men, one who loved America and his race with his whole heart & soul. And one who wants naught but to tear this great nation down!!! End of story!!!
Nor is Sotero a black man. He is an opportunist, a fraud and a traitor. He represents the most vile elements of black and white culture.
Values over blood.
Good piece. I think it’s hit the nail on the head. They try to have it both ways though. The left happily attacks Allen West, a black Republican candidate, as a Tea Party Extremist. I don’t want to know how the left maintains itself against incredible double mindedness. Most of us would try to resolve the cognitive dissonance.
The humorous part is, Baraq isn’t even half black.
--------------------------
Liberalism is a mental illness, plus for many on the left its fused together with socialism.
They call black conservatives 'sellouts,' traitors and 'Uncle Toms' because the label 'racist' is reserved for whites. All whites. If you are white, you are 'racist'. It is simply their way of saying 'the enemy' in this barely disguised war against whites. Don't act surprised at their language! Ask them why they support a third-world socialist agenda.
Most want entitlement, that's their idea of justice and the result of having been schooled in affirmative action ideology and the 'we wuz slaves' mentality that they will never abandon. So now we know racism is nothing more than a weapon, wielded so all the left can coordinate their attack.
Their brains think like this: the American legal system, having evolved from British common law, is a 'white' structure, racist to the core, that cannot be fairly applied to blacks.
Were Zer0 and his DoJ will take nation as it relates to this thinking is troublesome at best.
Just stay alert watch your back, and say a prayer for America.
As was Branch Rickey the person who made him a Dodger.
