NBC News Blames Obama's Poor Debate On Race
Newsbusters ^ | Oct. 5, 2012 | Ken Shepherd

Posted on 10/05/2012 6:16:53 AM PDT by RochesterNYconservative

With the folks at MSNBC, it always seems to come back to race. Network host Ed Schultz failed to disappoint this morning when he appeared on Thomas Roberts's 11 a.m. Eastern MSNBC Live and suggested that racism was partly to blame for President Obama's weak performance in the debate (video follows page break):

The left has a long history of excusing failures by blaming them on racism.

Leaders have to use people’s perceptions in order to help them go where they need to go. So, Zippy is an ineffective leader because he’s (sorta) black? Glad the Reds said it and not me. Because if he’s ineffective, he’s out.

The funny thing is, the only party who consistently talks about an “angry” (white or black) “Man” is the Demort Party. They go on and on about “The Angry White Man” or “Old Angry White Men” all the time. I don’t hear Republicans talking about whites or blacks in this way.

He’s got a point, right? I mean there have never been any great black orators, right? I mean other than Martin Luther King, Fredrick Douglas, Washington Carver, Thomas Sowell, Walt Williams, Malcolm X, Mary McLeod Bethune, and several dozens others. But, I mean, other than a few hundred outliers, there have never been any great black orators. Or basketball players, or musicians, or singers, or actors. It’s all due to racism.

Obviously Ed Schultz has never seen “The Great Debaters” with Denzel Washington. It’s a true story about a black college debate team that eventually goes on to debate Harvard.

So, what was that he was inferring about race being an issue? Grabbing at straws, flailing in the air...

Go ROMNEY/RYAN 2012!!!

Michael Jordan and Oprah and Bill Cosby and Colin Powell... Four GIANTS who succeeded in this supposedly racist country, and all three are or were head in very high esteem. I could go on and on - Will Smith. Morgan Freeman. Bryant Gumbel. All got rich, and not without the support of millions of whites.

"The left has a long history of excusing failures by blaming them on racism"

Yes, the bigotry of low expectations.

Too bad they can't figure out a way to give 0 10 extra debate points for being black.

It just ain’t fair being a half Black kid growing up in the ghettos of Hawaii, Harvard and Columbia.

The very next hour, on MSNBC's Now with Alex Wagner, panelist Michael Eric Dyson similarly suggested that fear of being seen as an "angry black man" held Obama back from forcefully debating and possibly winning last night's contest.

Maybe my TV needs to be adjusted because what I saw on my TV once the debate started was one very pissed off angry black man who still does not know what the hell fell on him.

“The sight of pasty white guys being offended on behalf of blacks is getting tiresome.”

Yup, and IMO not enough bad things can happen to those pasty white guys at MSLSD, including Madcow!!

Haven’t you heard. Conservatives don’t use phrases “Angry black man” or “Angry white man”.
We speak in code so they won’t know we are talking about them.

Good thing he didn’t have to debate McCain last time around then.

"Incredible excuses for Obama's debate failure! Now it is because he is a black man and could not fight back!"

Hahahahaha!!! Seriously, we wish obama was a strong red-blooded, America-loving, freedom promoting, angry black man. But he's NOT. He's a lilly livered, mealy mouthed, lying, communist, appeasement, post turtle. And we are sorry he was a total failure and disappointment to black Americans who really deserve a true uplifting black role model they can be proud of and not just another faker exploiting them for money, fame and power like all the Sharpton's and Jesse Jackson's that have come before. But Obama has to GO. And we will teach our children all about the importance of our Constitution and Obama, America's worst president.
