Sorry Ben Stein, These Presidents Were Way More Racist Than Obama
Boston Globe ^ | November 4, 2014 | Shan Wang

Posted on 11/04/2014 1:24:39 PM PST by ConservativeStatement

Ben Stein—lawyer, Nixon speechwriter, and erstwhile actor known for his turn as Ferris Bueller’s economics teacher—stopped by Fox News on Sunday with some choice words for the Obama administration.

“This president is the most racist president there has ever been in America,” he told Fox News.

Most racist? Plenty past presidents could challenge Obama for that title. Here are some strong contenders: you be the judge.

Woodrow Wilson? The Progressive?

Where’s Reagan and da Bush’s? According to the MSM they were very racist. And sexist. And homophobic. And anti-middle class.

From the article: “Eisenhower avoided issues of race, and was silent on segregation.”

The writer doesn’t know anything about history.

I don’t think the quote from TR is evidence of racism. I believe when he speaks of “degenerates” he is referring to people with birth defects or who are mentally handicapped. That said, I could be wrong. Eugenics is evil stuff and we know Margaret Sanger wanted to wipe out as many black babies as she could.

Well he did say something like, “I’ll nave those n****rs voting Democratic for the next two hundred years” when he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1965. And MLK was right behind him when he said it.

Slave owners when slavery was common doesn’t make one a racist.

When signing the Civil Rights Act into law LBJ was said to have said, “I’ll have those n——rs voting Democrat for the next 200 years.”

Woodrow Wilson used the Klan like Obama uses Moveon and ACORN.

Grant married the daughter of a slave owner, but about slavery he had this to say:

Murdering Jews during the Holocaust wasn’t bad because lots of people were doing it.

Eisenhower also integrated the armed forces. Truman issued the order to integrate the forces, but the brass largely ignored the order. Eisenhower knew how to browbeat generals and admirals, and actually got the job done.
