Is There a War on White People?

Allegations of abusing the race card have been thrown across party lines since before President Barack Obama became America’s first black president, but one Southern Republican is saying that Democrats have launched a race war, and their target is white people.

Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks brought up the alleged war on a conservative radio show hosted by Laura Ingraham, in response to questions about immigration reform and border security.

“This is a part of the war on whites that’s being launched by the Democratic Party, and the way in which they’re launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else,” said Brooks.

Brooks was responding in part to an interview National Journal editor Ron Fournier gave Fox News Sunday about the Republican Party’s immigration policies. In the interview he said the GOP is seen as a party of white people.

“The fastest-growing bloc in this country thinks the Republican Party hates them. This party, your party, cannot be the party of the future beyond November if you're seen as the party of white people,” Fournier said.

In response to those comments, Brooks proposed that Democrats are attempting to turn immigration into a racial issue, when illegal immigration affects groups in every demographic. He cited loss of jobs and wages.

“It’s a part of the strategy that Barack Obama implemented in 2008, continued in 2012, where he divides us all on race, on sex, greed, envy, class warfare, all those kinds of things,” Brooks continued.

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney may have had more white supporters in the 2012 election, but white voters made up 39 percent of Obama supporters in 2012.

“The fastest-growing bloc in this country thinks the Republican Party hates them. This party, your party, cannot be the party of the future beyond November if you're seen as the party of white people,” Fournier said.

Ron Fournier is one of the single worst Propagandists out there. He's the guy who's worked so strenuously to create the impression he now decries.

The press is first.

In the summer of 2008, I received an e-mail from a relative who was (and still is) a BIG Obama supporter.

I would hope you have cut all ties with this person, relative or not.

Affirmative Action, anyone?

[Albion Wilde]

Yes, but the White People started it.

Led by the Democrats.

[Fear The People]

BINGO.

There sure is.

Why are blacks 13% of the population but take over 17% of all overpaid, cushy, do-nothing government jobs?

[hal ogen]

Yes. The racists are trying to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. May they eventually stew in their own juices..

That reminds me of the joke about the three naked black men sitting on a bench. Not really bawdy but funny.

Pretty much any defense contractor or government contractor now discriminates against men and Caucasians (unless you’re a disabled vet) to look better against competitors for federal contracts. If you’re a little higher on price but have more reported LBGTA employees and black employees, you get the work.

I have. And with his father (my cousin) and his mother.
