Don’t disrespect our president, black lawmakers tell Netanyahu

The audience for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress on March 3 is shaping up to be largely Republican — and almost completely white. Many members of the Congressional Black Caucus say they’re planning to skip the speech, calling it a slight to President Barack Obama that they can’t and won’t support.

Is this not expected behavior from people who understand not the genuine existential concerns of Israel?

The Congressional Black Caucus members have a chip on their shoulder, and find it difficult to deal with their latent and overt anti-semitism?

Is this not racist behavior and misplaced priorities on their part?

Under what circumstances (besides gang members) does one hear complaints of "lack of proper respect?"

Yea, because Obama showed nothing but respect for Netanyahu. /sarc

There will be no end of racism until all people will stop making decisions based on race.

Screw that - Obama has made that decision for us.

When I'm at work and I meet a black person, I know that person is an educated engineer and most likely part of the 10% who did not vote to let Obama and his minions dismantle, "transform" and tear our country apart.

When I'm on the street, blacks don't get that benefit of doubt; they are all suspect of being in the 90% who voted for Obama either because of his race, or because they like what he's doing to the country. I encumber my gun hand and start watching for thug, "knock out game" behavior.

Am I a "racist"? Prolly.
Do I care? No.
In my opinion Obama has made it OK to be a racist. In fact, he's made it necessary for a long, healthy life.

It is impossible anybody in congress could be this stupid. And yes, that’s really saying something. What do these folks do in their spare time- - play marbles on the interstate? Do they require an educational video each time they visit the toilet? My Lord, we are in deep doodoo with the likes of these in “our federal government!” Pray for America.

With all due respect, he doesn't deserve any respect. He is not respected by any of our allies, or anyone else that matters.

Go pound sand Bitches.
