Obama: ‘Most Americans’ think nation is racist

For President Obama, the color of a man’s skin is far more important than the content of his character.

On the night when a police officer was shot in a Missouri town torn by racial strife, the president donned a shiny tuxedo to attend a ritzy black awards dinner, where he said police nationwide are to blame for community mistrust, even claiming that “most Americans” think the country is racist.

Remember, when Ferguson exploded in racial rage in August, Mr. Obama chose not to curtail his 15-day vacation, spending day after day on the golf course in the white-skinned, white-wined, millionaire playground of Martha’s Vineyard. But on Saturday, the Divider in Chief decided to stoke the dying embers in the small St. Louis suburb, just in case he could cash in on a late campaign issue.

“Too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement — guilty of walking while black or driving while black, judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness,” the president told the mostly black crowd at the Congressional Black Caucus dinner.

Mr. Obama, America’s first half-white, half-black president, pointed out in the crowd the parents of Michael Brown, the black teenager killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, after, according to police, he robbed a liquor store....

Most of the white people I know are not racist despite the best efforts of the Obama Administration to goad them into becoming racist.

Its important to remember that Obama and the left will attempt to manipulate us into being what they want us to be.

Most people would agree. But the problem is that one segment of the population believes that racism is entirely one sided and solely a feature of the other races, when their own racism is, in fact, just as virulent and just as widespread.

I agree. However, like all former presidents he’ll get a certain amount of face time esp if the MSM wants to drum up criticism for the sitting pres. Like Carter, Barry will be about all sorts of mayhem. I do think once he’s out ‘new’ revelations about his gross incompetence will come to light and the press will tear him to pieces. Basically, his legacy will be nil. He’ll wind up even more bitter and jaded seeking forums to degrade this country. He’ll die bitter and alone.

[RetSignman]

Perfect analogy.

Most Americans don’t care what you and ‘My people’ Holder think.

[4rcane]

I consider America as as racist country as well, just anti-white

[Da Coyote]

Most Americans think Obama has the IQ of a slime mold.

If King were alive today (he'd be 85), he would probably be 100% supportive of Obama.

That one excellent sentence gets quoted all the time, but King was hardly a conservative.

[puppypusher]

This nation is not Racist.On the other hand Obama is just the opposite.He’s as racist as they come.

Even with his token white lefties.

[MasterGunner01]

Obama is correct that 12.5% of the African Amish are racists. The majority of the 87.5% of Americans are not, but there are a lot of guilty libs in denial and a lot of other people fed up with the pussy footing of law enforcement to put these thugs behind bars. Obama would like nothing more than provoke a race war. That's all a community organizer knows how to do — stir up trouble and not solve problems.

The real racists are the first to see racism everywhere they look.

Obama: ‘Most Americans’ think nation is racist

Says the man who frequently uses a Platinum Race Card.

[joethedrummer]

I agree with him.

Since he’s taken office and started his propaganda campaign, a LOT more blacks REEEEEEEEEEAAAALLLY hate whitey and now feel free to ACT on that without consequences.

[Biggirl]

Sorry, Obama, the “race card” has been declined.

[LearnsFromMistakes]

The majority of the 87.5% of Americans are not

I think you would be surprised, and I think the number of white american racists is higher. I don't run into much racism, but I hang out with folks from my church and a small circle at work. But outside my conservative group of friends, I work with a lot of liberals...(I work in a university town with a lot of 'liberal cred' - Iowa City, IA). That said, liberals can be extremely racist, and so they project their racism onto the world in general.

Was meeting with some folks from church this weekend - 2 white guys, a black guy and his daughter, and another guy from a pacific island. We talked a little about race and some other stuff, and we have great discussions. Which would have made a liberal uncomfortable...

[molson209]

Obama must be getting ready to run for a third term , LOL

[ballplayer]

Speak for yourself and your entire administration you racist ass

Racist

Words like this are hugely ambiguous and for practical purposes meaningless. People can’t even generally agree on a dictionary definition. But even if we all consult the same dictionary it is still a very vague term and many times user defined. What is and what isn’t varies greatly between races and even within a race. In addition to that, in general, whites are held to a totally different standard then everyone else.
