If you had predicted six years ago that America’s first half-black, half-white president would actually make race relations in the U.S. worse, they would have laughed you out of the room.
If you had said that, in the face of a sudden racial crisis, the president — portrayed as black throughout the campaign — would be impotent, neutered, unable to speak powerfully about the situation, they would have scoffed incredulously.
Who are “they”? Everyone. If you had expressed those fears out loud in the run-up to his historic 2008 election, everyone within earshot would have mocked you mercilessly. More, they would have expressed a shattered disappointment in your very existence: How could you not get on board the Hope and Change bus? How could you not embrace the new post-partisan — even post-racial — world that candidate Barack Obama promises?
And just what happened to you as a child to make you so pessimistic and bitter? They’d actually feel sorry for you.
Mr. Obama had first spoken of race in his 1995 autobiography, of that “alien” race — whites. In 2007, he complained about his plight as a black man in America. “If I’m outside your building trying to catch a cab,” he told Charlie Rose, “they’re not saying, ‘Oh, there’s a mixed race guy.’”
He cashed in on Joe Biden’s description of him as a “clean” African American. And he had for years benefited from identifying as black, using race as a bludgeon when necessary, and as a shield when subtlety was required. According to some pundits, he was in fact swept into office by white guilt — white voters broke his way in hopes of putting behind them the painful legacy of racism and slavery....

He and Holder do.
Lots of people here predicted it.
these people will get Bored and go away like always
Of course!
Where has this guy been?
Rush Limbaugh predicted it very clearly on his radio show.
I don’t know why this is a huge revelation all of a sudden. Obama pretty much spelled out his racist “anti-colonialist” philosophy in his book that was published over 6 years ago. He is acting on it. Every. Single. Day. (and he still gets in a round of golf)
I think it will die down after the funeral and as soon as the MSM lose interest. They do love gettin’ on tee vee.
It will explode because it looks increasingly unlikely that they’ll ever charge and successfully convict Darren Wilson. Failing to convict will be the most effective means of enraging an uneducated and manipulated minority.
I don’t know why the low-information voters fell for this guy when his voting record was the most liberal in the U.S. Senate. His choice of Pastor told us all we needed to know. The fact he was re-elected shows the country is beyond repair.
I at least thought, “At least is the end to the race hustling, affirmative action, and victim status for blacks.”
Nope.
Somehow our being the only nation in the history of the world to democratically elect someone of a minority race as its leader still doesn’t absolve us from the race hustlers. In fact, we as a whole elected one. Twice.
“He and Holder do.”
::::::::
Evil personified. Racial division and the resulting DemocRat political gains are far more important than the burning Middle East and the clear and present dangers of radical islamo-fascism.
I would not have been surprised. I have experienced the racism.
Most significantly from the SEIU members in NYC.
to have a Clarence Thomas, a Condoleeza Rice, a Herman Cain, Ben Carson is to exalt people who think as we were taught, to see into people’s character. And beyond the color of their skin.
It is a simple notion, validated by faith, and by the Founding Fathers’ declaration that all people are created equal, and that the people of this country sometimes get it wrong, going outside of the constitution, and that we can get it back when refocusing on that,
but to elect a black’ running as a black, on the democrat ticket, is to invite racial hatred. nothing will surprise me.
Not anything.
You don’t hear much about his white mother.
I’ve said repeatedly that Obama is all about maximum chaos for America, Christianity, Capitalism, and Israel.
It was interesting to see that he seemed genuinely pissed with the beheading of the photographer.
That little statement was the most American thing he’s ever said that sounded sincere.....and then he went back to the golf course......
All anyone had to do was listen to OBama’s words, read his stupid books, and look at his mentors. No one would have been surprised.
No, we don’t. Interesting, isn’t it?
This is just the beginning of the end. It’s going to get better. . .err. . .I mean worse.
Like Rush said, it will go away after the November elections.
The racial hustlers of this country, including the Hustler in Chief, could care less about what happens to their poor and neglected darky country cousins. They are in this for themselves. Their similarly skin toned brethren are simply useful idiots who help them advance their selfish agenda.
Obama, Holder, et al could care less about the people of Ferguson, whatever their racial origins. They want to take advantage of the opportunity of the moment to advance their own interests. In this case, their interests are to figure out a way to keep Blacks on the Plantation and willing to come to the polls and support the Democrat Crime Family. Without these clueless dolts, the whole Democrat scheme could come crashing down around them. This cannot be allowed to happen. Obama understands this, the media understands this. Everyone else needs to understand this and put a stop to it.
