Many of us who did not vote for Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election found some solace in the notion that Obamas presidency, if nothing else, would ease racial tensions.
The poll numbers suggested the same. In the month of Obamas inauguration, 79 percent of whites and 63 percent of blacks held a favorable view of race relations in America, something of a high water mark in recent history.
Those paying close attention, however, saw reason to worry. There were forces on the left, the White House included, that were prepared to use Obamas presidency to drive the races further apart.
Initially at least, this was less the result of some grand master plan than of the collective instincts of various seasoned operatives: Democratic strategists needing to keep their base scared; race hustlers wanting to preserve their power; trial lawyers hoping to hustle up a payday.
None of these operatives could have succeeded, however, without the blessings of a media whose editors and producers had no nobler motive for race baiting than the swelling of their own self-esteem.
I saw this even before the 2008 election when I advanced the thesis that Barack Obama had considerable help with his master work, Dreams from My Father.
Apparently, I needed New Yorker editor David Remnick, whose chief hobby seems to be imputing racism to people who live west of 10th Avenue, to set me straight on my motives.
Incensed that Rush Limbaugh had aired my thesis, Remnick allowed that this was not Limbaughs most racist insinuation, but he insisted that our collective libel about Obamas memoir the denial of literacy, the denial of authorship had a particularly ugly pedigree.
This ugly pedigree stuff was news to me, and I have a Ph.D. in American studies with a literature emphasis.

The MSM is the Countrys greatest threat.
Exactly right.
while they control the POTUS, yes.
once they lose the white hut, they back off to avoid allowing the non-democrat all the powers that would trigger given a race war
Of course; it’s what it’s always been about.
A chance to get even for slavery.
Actually, I think they expected it to happen long before now. I wonder if they realize that it’s not working because things really have changed a lot in America; Obama’s hatred of America is driving it now.
10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, and should be familiar in its use to every politician as the knife he carries in his pocket. In the work here to be executed, the best effects may be produced by this maxim, and with peculiar facility. An extensive republic made up of lesser republics necessarily contains various sorts of people, distinguished by local and other interests and prejudices.

When the scratching has everyone with raw bleeding armpits the tyrant claims he invented a new flea dip.
By the time everyone realizes they're out of toilet paper it's too late!
Yes. And who lives in the middle of the battlefield, the left or the right?
That's why you see the latest manifestation of crazy liberalism in the "white privilege" campaign. It's an effort to convince whites that nothing they've done was by their own efforts. Blacks built everything ("America was built on the backs of blacks"), and they, whites, should willingly surrender all their property to blacks and other qualified minorities.
In my area any concentrations of blacks are ringed by a widening “brown belt” of Hispanics and Asians (the former living there, the latter operating businesses); they have been effectively quarantined, and set upon those interlopers whenever the opportunity presents itself.
I would be worried about a race war if blacks weren’t taking so many “friendly fire” casualties; they are at war with each other, and far from unified.
I always marveled at how old people always say what is on their minds; they don’t sugar-coat anything. In today’s PC environment, it all makes sense: Retirees can’t be fired for speaking the truth; nobody can demonstrate outside their company, or threaten their pensions.
I was born after the last black people had to sit at the back of the bus or use a different water fountain; people my age have reverted to our grandparents’ mentality because we saw what “The Great Society” achieved (nothing but complete dependence and racial enmity).
The most accurate assertion would be the use of “rules for radicals”, the left’s bible these days, which require pitting one group against another for the purpose and only purpose of creating social upheaval or better explained by the term “Chaos”.
Nope. http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/black-cop-kills-white-man-media-hide-race/
It’s not a “race war” they want.
What they ultimately want is to use the State to exterminate Christians.
Race is just a proxy for that for now.
i want to make sure that everyone gets this idea in their heads to cogitate about.
The charge of “white privilege” is today’s incarnation of antisemitism.
Just as historic antisemitism is based in envy of the prosperous, so is the claim of “white privilege”.
The prosperous groups in both examples prosper because of their adherence to a value system that results in prosperity.
The envy and hatred by the floundering groups is based on a rejection of those value systems. They’d rather steal, kill, and destroy than adhere to a morality that allows them to prosper.
When and if it starts, God forbid, all activist leftists should be designated black and dealt with accordingly.
Those special benefits afforded to blacks were not only designed to atone for past white transgressions but would also elevate blacks to equal status as far as jobs and wealth. But while the wealth of blacks has increased dramatically since the sixties (like all other groups), they are still on average well below whites and Asians. Even with some blacks now billionaires and many multi-millionaires.
How could this be say all the liberals? Blacks have extra benefits not given to other groups...why isn't everything exactly equal between the nation's groups?
Why it must be because whites still have their jackboots on the throats of blacks they tell themselves. But there are few cases of blatant bigotry or racism inflicted on blacks by whites.
So it must be some other form of white racism that keeps blacks down. That's why they came up with "white (skin) privilege" scam. So even though whites aren't committing blatant acts or racism, they're still racists by the fact that they're white and have all these unearned benefits that blacks don't have.
And when the nation gets tired of the "white privilege" scam, liberals and race hustlers will come up with something else to explain away black failure.
Exactly.
