The election is over. The votes have been tallied. The Obama’s have been declared the most clueless family in the US. Apparently Michelle thinks that the worst economy since the Great Depression is a great time to spend $75,000.00 per day of taxpayer cash. And for what? A ladies night out trip to Spain. At least she got to hob knob with Hollywood celebrities and the King and queen of Spain.
Refusing to use leftover “Stimulus” cash, Nancy has called congress back from campaign mode to do what? Yes. She wants to approve more stimulus cash. Apparently “O” can’t imagine using $26 billion of the nearly $400 billion unspent stimulus funds. In Obamalogic it somehow makes sense to spend more of what we are out of: cash!
In further brain cramped fashion the US is now planning to sell advanced F15 fighter jets to… (drum roll). Yes that is right. The Saudis are the recipients of one of the largest deals of its kind at a price tag of $30 billion dollars. Our president thinks that in a region that controls nearly half of the world’s oil, houses 90% of the world’s terrorists, and has one of the worst human rights records ever; somehow we should help them further destabilize the region. Who said Obama was pro-Islamic, anti-Israeli?
Over the weekend while “O” played hoops with basketball legends in a game that was to entertain wounded warriors, the press pool sat outside in vans. That’s right. No photo ops of the smiling wounded warriors as the Presidential Press were barred. While many complain that the press doesn’t report anything of significance these days, one could argue that they can’t report on anything less significant than “O’s” skills under the net. As for the wounded warriors we will have to imagine what they thought of Barry and the B Ball Big Timers. I wonder if this post racial president invited any white ballplayers. If the press had been able to report we might know. The above photo is who we do know attended.
Lastly the President's party, the Democratic Party, is now being tied to some of the most underhanded and disruptive political tactics apart from third world nations. Apparently, in an attempt to weaken conservative momentum Democrats are filling some state ballots with candidates supposedly representing the “Tea Party” movement. What is so troubling is that no one in the Tea Party has heard of any of these folks and their ties to the Democratic Party is unmistakable. Like so much in this administration; if you can’t win honorably: CHEAT.
It is all about race. La Raza means the Race. The nation of Islam is all about Race. Black Liberation theology is all about Race. Rich man poor man is all about Race. The only ones who don’t get it are white people. White people have been bludgeoned with accusations of racism that they are the only ones who don’t get it that IT IS ALL ABOUT RACE.
Obama was elected the first Black President. Sotomayor is a Latina SCOTUS. Kagan is a Jewis Scotus. So and so is a ???? something. It is on the every form you fill out it is everywhere: RACE, RACE, RACE. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton make their money off of Race. Louis Farrakhan says that White people are not humans. Barack Obama Makes fun of Tea Party protestors and that is all about Race. How do I know? They tell me at every turn. White people are bad, evil, racist, hate mongers and Black and Latinos need to come together to undo the wrongs Whites have done.
As for me I am sick to death of it. I have given in to “poor me” for so long that I now believe it is an incurable disease. I have watched as we have thrown sympathy at it. That didn’t work. We tried genuine compassion and that didn’t work. We have thrown billons of dollars at these problems only to see them get worse. No matter what White people do we cannot win. There will always be race baiters and weak minds to follow them.
Listen up. To my knowledge my family nor my ancestors never had a slave of any color. I owe nothing to anyone. I have respected and encouraged, supported and worked to help all races to achieve without consideration of color. I have donated and prayed for all the people of this nation. Nevertheless I am white. I will never know what you are going through nor where you have been. Neither will you know me for who I am. Those of you racist Blacks and Hispanics who want to hate me will just have to do that. I am done with enabling your racist behaviors by avoiding confrontation with you. I have eaten all of your hatred that I intend to. It is you that have backed me into this corner where I feel I have no choice but to stand. Well hear this.
Come to me with an open hand and I will shake it and welcome you as a friend. Come to me with a clenched fist and bitterness on your lips and you will find me less than hospitable. Your self-pity has destroyed your sense of self worth and importance until you now feel that you may abuse me to somehow correct the wrongs done to you. I am not your enemy. I am an American. Put away your hatred and let’s be brothers or show yourself at last for who you are and let me see the evil intentions you have. Even in this I am telling you this in love but be not deceived.
My tolerance is not a “Kick Me” sign and you should not interpret it as that. Yes. I know that many of you long for the taste of White Peoples blood to soothe your woes. Let me assure you that you will find it neither refreshing nor easily obtained. We have contemplated long about your sufferings and have done what we can to remove them. We whites now believe that you are insatiable in your desires for recognition and compensation. While the majority of White people will not speak out do not be deceived; they are prepared. Sure we fear the worst and pray and prepare for the best. This direction people of color are choosing is not of our doing. You may look to your leaders and to the dividers like Obama and his administration.
If Mexico, Africa, Central America or some other place is where your loyalties lies may I suggest that you go peaceably there. Save the world the unneeded hatred you dispense and the troubles that are sure to follow. As I see it you have a choice to make and we have none. We have given until we are given out. Choose wisely as this is not some romantic fantasy. This hatred that you are spewing will turn back on you. You know who you are and you know the truth. Accept it. We have nothing more to give.
Probably! He definitely uses the “T” word and he says it in the same way some bigots might use the “N” word. He loves to use “Tea Bagger”. To most in the liberal press, the administration, and the Congress the “T” word means “Bigoted White People”.
Let’s look at the “N” word for a moment. The “N” word evolved from various origins and generally means black in all of its variations. So offensive is the “N” word that English speakers feel uncomfortable learning Portuguese, Spanish, French, Swedish, German and Latin for a form of Negro appears in all these languages. Sensitive people are reluctant to say these words. Café Negro is black coffee. It is hard to say that at first if you are sensitive to others. After a time you learn that you it is perfect and proper to speak another’s language correctly.
Now back to the “T” word. This word has no origins and so the rules dictated that the meaning comes from its common usage. That’s how ain’t got into the dictionary and that is how the “T” word will enter the lexicon. Whenever you hear this word roll off of the tongues of pundits, press, and politicians you will generally hear is spoken with a tone of disapproval. The term “Tea Bagger” is used in prisons of a vile act of Sodomy, often done under duress. Nearly all of the uses of the “T” word have an implied “Rich White People” usage. Often it is stated exactly that way. So this word has a vile sexual and a blatant racial slur associated with it. You would think that a Black president who undoubtedly experienced racial prejudice would be more sensitive to members of the “Tea Party” when referring to them. So much for thinking!
Thinking can lead you many places and I am now thinking how Black people will often call themselves by the “N” word. I have often heard one black say to another, “You are my “N””. It still shocks me and I think it is wrong. Words have lives and the more life you breathe into a word the longer and more powerfully it lives. As such, Tea Party members and those whom refer to them should immediately cease from calling them the “T” word.
So I say to members of the press, to the politicians, to the pundits and to all who read this: Stop the Insensitivity to Tea Party members. Calling them the “T” word shows your lack of kindliness and facility with the English language. May I suggest you call them Americans or protestors or neighbors? It is a sad state of affairs when those at the top, those in power, and those responsible for words have such a high disregard for their usage. Shame on you and you know who you are.
This is a re-Publised article which upon reflection required some edits. First of all the title. I think I had been too clever with the title when what I hope to say is that Obama is a Racist. The proof is in his history and will be his legacy if he is not stopped. Even now he is out brainwashing the younger Americans on the wonder of his Creation. And so, consider this...
What do you call a country with a Leader who lies continually, ignores the desire of the people, places burdens upon or provides assistance to people based upon their Race, ignores the founding of his country, and manipulates the media to tell only certain perspectives? Wow. That could be any number of fascist regimes but it is now true of America. Hold on to this for just one moment while I pose some questions.
Do you wonder how could a political nobody become arguably the most divisive president of these United States, and all of that in months?
How could a bill that the overwhelming majority of Americans don’t want become law?
Who among us feels that our congress people who favored this bill listened to anything we had to say?
Who feels that truthfulness in the Media is dead, sustained on life support only for the benefit of the government?
Who believes it is wrong for the Whitehouse to have its own press and release only finished “News” to the people?
Who had hoped that the people would ultimately prevail and Washington would return to sanity?
Who hopes for November but deep down feels that the elections may make little or no difference?
Who feels that the deck is stacked and the cards dealt and Obama has all the Trump cards?
Who can list at least 5 things that Obama flat out lied about.
Lastly, who believes that Barack Hussein Obama has a secret personal agenda and that he will stop at nothing to achieve it?
Now back to my original thoughts and their proof. Most of you reading this have little need for proof for most of what I have written. Some may agree with it all. My comment about Race surely made some uneasy. If you are white I suspect you are very uneasy. We white people have been made to question our own opinions and thoughts about race issues. We have been taught to fear race related discussions and to say only racially acceptable things: whatever that may be. Relax. Black is just a color, or is it?
I want to now give you another take on my statement and then explain it. Obama’s redistribution of wealth is a “Racial” motivated effort. It is a thinly veiled repackaging of “Reparations” which many black organizations have been fighting for during the last 50 or so years. Basically, blacks feel they are owed money, land, and a mule with interest for the sufferings of their slave ancestors. Some of that thinking is in Black Liberation Theology. Obama spent 20+ years under his pastor Jeremiah Wright and the black liberation theology to which he subscribes as does his successor Otis Moss III. Here is a current quote from the Trinity Church website:
“We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.”
Notice the loyalty to Black, the Black religious experience, Christian, African people, the mother continent, God, and the Black Community. Spend some time looking into Black Experience and Black Community and it is highly racially charged with little respect for or need of white people. These things clearly state the differences between the way White America and Black America view their country and largely their Christian experience. Whites used Christianty to keep the black man down. Former pastor and Obama mentor Jeremiah Wright had this to say:
“[The United States] government lied about their belief that all men were created equal. The truth is they believed that all white men were created equal. The truth is they did not even believe that white women were created equal, in creation nor civilization. The government had to pass an amendment to the Constitution to get white women the vote. Then the government had to pass an equal rights amendment to get equal protection under the law for women. The government still thinks a woman has no rights over her own body, and between Uncle Clarence who sexually harassed Anita Hill, and a closeted Klan court, that is a throwback to the 19th century, handpicked by Daddy Bush, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, between Clarence and that stacked court, they are about to undo Roe vs. Wade, just like they are about to un-do affirmative action. The government lied in its founding documents and the government is still lying today. Governments lie.”
Obama said these in his own books in his own words:
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
"Yes, I’d seen weakness in other men— Gramps and his disappointments, Lolo and his compromise. But these men had become object lessons for me, men I might love but never emulate, white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."
Clearly Obama sees these people and himself as a Messiah to the blacks. Black Liberation Theology is essentially that and it is broad enough to find room for someone like Louis Farrakhan who was honored at Trinity by Jeremiah Wright with a “Lifetime Achievement Award”. This is the same Farrakhan that and the Nation of Islam who believe:
According to the Nation, whites were created by Yakub, the mad scientist, as a test for the superior black race, who are the chosen people, and also as a curse on it.
And again…”Mr. Farrakhan told the few whites in the crowd, "You are not a devil by the color of your skin; you are the devil by the teachings you have accepted."
Clearly this only shows circumstantial evidence and/or guilt by association but consider this. The hefty tax burdens will be on the top 2% of the wealthiest Americans. Would you venture a guess as to what percentage of those people to be black? On the other hand the states are expecting to increase their Medicaid rolls by up to 50%. Would you venture a guess as to what percent of those people are white?
Caucasians make up about 50% of Americans, with blacks second at about 25% and Latinos at 10%. All others make up the balance. It wasn’t until today that I realized that Obama’s efforts, whether planned or not, largely penalize whites and benefit blacks. I am so sad to think it but that is the way it works out. 93% of all blacks that voted voted for Obama. A large percentage of whites also voted for him. It is true that the majorities of Tea Party protesters were and are white. Neither he nor his administration acknowledged them. Is that racially motivated?
Lastly, black Americans whose inspiration is Africa are not Americans at all. We are all one people except those who are determined to create separations and divisions.
Whose wife became proud of America only after her husband became president?
What President accused a white police officer of acting stupidly without having any facts?
Which presidents black attorney general dropped all charges against members of the Black Panthers who were involved in voter tampering?
Which Congressional Black Caucus has a perfect record of voting with the president?
Which president of the United States never revealed his college transcripts?
What president has yet to give a straight answer to a question?
Have a question of your own? Add your question in the comments section below.
Many of you are aware of the “Colorofchange.org” and their efforts to silence Glenn Beck by pressuring his advertisers. These are the actions of a racist group to Becks statement that Obama is a racist. It is true that it is unusual to hear a White person calling someone a racist. Our society has become conditioned to hear that kind of “racist” declarations from a black person or other minority. For many in white society it is such a powerful word that it can stop us dead in our tracks. It is like Green Kryptonite to Superman. Just the mere presence of this charge, “you racist” or “if I wasn’t ____” you wouldn’t treat me that way, is enough to sap our strength. It seems indefensible. After all, how can you prove you are not a racist?
Ok. First of all you don’t have to prove ideology. This is a strategy to sidetrack you from the subject at hand. You are involved in a given action and the charge “racist” is issued and immediately you want to seek a defensive posture. No No No. The person with the charge has the burden to prove it. In fact, more often than not, the “racist charge” is used only to disarm you, and very often by a “racist” person. Wake up. People of every color can be racist: not just White People.
If you take a close look of many in the Obama administration you will see that he has appointed and/or been associated with some of the most racist, white-hating people of the century. Obama’s 20 year membership in a Black Liberation Theology church is a powerful indicator of his beliefs. A primary founder of Black Liberation Theology, James Cone, states, “We must not expect white people to give us freedom. Freedom is not a gift, but a responsibility, and thus must be taken against the will of those who hold us in bondage.” It is not a greatly different belief than those held by the Black Panthers.
This subject may in fact make you uncomfortable. Good. As a white person I continue to be amazed by the amount of hatred there is against White Peoples. And while it is impossible to estimate the percentage of blacks who are racist we can know some things. Of all blacks who voted 97% voted for Obama. As of last month, “Ninety-six percent of African-Americans approve of how Obama is handling his presidency, according to a CNN/Essence Magazine/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Thursday.” In that same poll only 46 percent of White people approved of his performance. The numbers speak volumes. Considering the margin of error, Blacks think Obama is doing a good job. Whites on the other hand are falling away in great numbers. Why is that?
It has been said that Whites will never understand the Black Experience. Clearly we don’t. Whites thought the election of a president was about a new President. It was an election thing and not a Race thing. I am not thinking that the Blacks see it that way.
These things said, let me encourage everyone to consider. Racism in any form is evil, whether it be Whites against Blacks or any combination of those or any races. Therefore, any political group who hopes to advance one race above another would also be racist, thereby unacceptable. Kindly consider this. Speak the truth in peace but speak it. Don’t be a hater but don’t let the haters go unchallenged. Don’t be a racist but stand against the charge of racism with courage. Do not enable wrong by refusing to right it. Speak up peaceably but with conviction.
On Wednesday Mr. Obama stated in his press meeting that the Cambridge police “acted stupidly” when they arrested his friend Louis Gates Jr.. A reporter asked about the arrest. Obama said he wasn’t there and he didn’t have all the facts. Rather than quitting at that he followed his (now evident) racial bent and made a judgment (without facts) and inferred that the arresting officer was racially motivated. He followed that with more of his usual meanderings intending to prove his case (the case without any facts).
On Thursday Mr. Obama said that:
"I have to say I am surprised by the controversy surrounding my statement," Obama said in an interview with ABC News, "because I think it was a pretty straightforward comment that you probably don't need to handcuff a guy, a middle-aged man who uses a cane, who's in his own home."
Still operating without any facts, Obama is surprised that people would be offended that he rendered a judgment without facts and essentially played the “Race Card”. Doesn’t he know that when you accuse someone of racism, that accusation is racism? To say that a white guy did something only because he was white is Racism. To say that the black guy was arrested by a white man only because the former is white is RACISM. What part of that is hard for you to understand Mr. Obama? For years many, many non-black people have had the race card played upon them. My wife worked for many years with the public and would often come home saying that someone said, “If I wasn’t black you would do this or that for me.” Of course this hurt her deeply. Her decision was not made upon race it was made upon facts. We struggled with a way to handle people who like to use race as the “reason” when they don’t get what they want. It is a difficult statement to counter without being rude or intolerant. If you respond at all, you risk their entire wrath.
Without the facts Obama judged. To that I say, if that officer wasn’t white you wouldn’t have called him a racist Mr. Obama.
Get it now Mr. Obama? Do you understand why so many are offended by your statement? Do you even care?
One would have to pretty simplistic in their thinking to believe that America has not gone through great pains because of prejudice, racism, and discrimination. In fact, I dare say that anyone who is different in any way will be singled out and treated differently. It was true for the Irish, the Italians, and the Vietnamese. It has been true for every tribe or nation that has chosen to live in our great nation. Humans seem able to discriminate on any imaginable basis including race, gender, creed, national origin, and yes even Vietnam Veteran status.
As a child I wittnessed discrimination and even participated based upon the whomever seemed vulnerable at the time. Attacks were made on the poor, the homeless, the obese, and those who were just a little more different that others. Surveys and studies have shown that "pretty and handsome" people have better chances at good jobs and obtaining help in times of need such as when a car breaks down. People having a bad hair day or no hair are the brunt of jokes. Having bad teeth or a cleft palate will surely end your hopes for an acting carreer.
To be sure, many of the reasons why people are discriminated against can be helped. Sometimes surgery or new set of clothes, or learning to speak in a socially acceptable way or using the proper language at the proper time would be of help. Some could loose weight, put on weight or get a tan. Others might try practicing casual or business communications to help aleviate some of the pressure. Many may they have little they can do, however I suspect that everyone can do a little something to lessen their plight.
It seems unlikely that individual efforts will ever make a permanent and lasting change. People are just different and no sooner that you think you have seen it all and you will see something new. Someone will find that new thing something they can discriminate against. For those people it will be as if they are an alien race setting foot on the planet for the first time. Even those who have been discriminated will line up to discriminate against these. It would appear hopeless.
Today President Obama spoke to the NAACP. Part of what he said follows:
"But make no mistake: the pain of discrimination is still felt in America. By African-American women paid less for doing the same work as colleagues of a different color and gender. By Latinos made to feel unwelcome in their own country. By Muslim Americans viewed with suspicion for simply kneeling down to pray. By our gay brothers and sisters, still taunted, still attacked, still denied their rights.
"On the 45th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, discrimination must not stand. Not on account of color or gender; how you worship or who you love. Prejudice has no place in the United States of America."
President Obama's words call for an end to pejudice and discrimination and while he cannot mention everyone, leaving out anyone is regrettable, particularly if you are that one. You cannot help but notice that he mentioned today only the minorities he hopes to favor. If you are one he has ignored, the middle ager who has lost their job because their age, or if you are a Jehovah's Wittness and people find you offensive to work around. For every people there are differences. You can make laws and circulate petitions. We have these things now yet another speech.
Some will make speeches or write blogs and some will do nothing. Still others will continue to discriminate using none of the above, but using their place and power in life to deprive others of their freedoms. Some, because of the lofty stations can minimize and even ignore the "dull and ignorant" masses, feeling superior in intellect and therfore worthy to control our destinies. In truth all of these forms of discrimination originate in the minds of people. It is those minds that discriminate and since we all have a mind it is possible to imagine that we all discrimate and are discriminated against.
To single out a race or a religion, a people or a concept and point the finger of blame is to discriminate. Declaring your neigbor a racist, is that not discriminatory? So who then has the right to accuse, to chose what is right, fair and just. Who can say? Whatever you choose to say or not, write or not, do or not do, nothing will happen until the heart and conscience of the hater stops hating. The solution lies within the spiritual side of man. To date there is no law that can correct that.
President Obama has been called an Elitist. Hearing about this I thought it an interesting topic on which to blog. As I often do when challenged with a controversial subject I researched the word “Elitist” in the dictionary; which in turn led me to a web search, which resulted in numerous opinion pieces. They covered this very question with most speculating about the why; even to the point of essentially psychoanalyzing their motives; the ones who originally called him an Elitist? My research produced a thinly veiled charge of racism. They argued that to say Elitist and Obama in the same sentence was racism. Numerous sites were explored with the bulk of them making this same declaration. Go figure.
Apparently, using highly trained skills they were able to deduce from one definition of Elitist: one who considers themselves as superior. From there it was just a hop, skip, and a jump through the imagination to equate superior to uppity. Uppity? A rather archaic choice don’t you think. Albeit! I could stretch and use uppity in a sentence if forced to. Now, take a very liberal left turn and you will find yourself at the quite old concept of “an uppity black” (actual word offensive and not used). Those using this logic concluded that obviously that who said that Obama was an elitist were in fact calling him an Uppity N…. It is supposed to be some sort of conservative code language. I must have missed that class.
My impression is that much of what politicians say is untruthful. They speak in velvety and often slippery language. Some might say that they speak without saying anything. In fact the very word Politic is literally translated as shrewd. But then when I think of shrewd my mind immediately thinks of that furry rat-like creature with the long nose: the shrew. That could account for my immediate dislike of things political.
Still, it is fair to say that Obama is a shrewd politician (No redundancy intended.) and he does seem to carry himself with a sense of entitlement; the way someone might who thought themselves superior to bring about the future of America. That being the crux of the matter the question really is no longer “Is Obama and Elitist” but is he your brand of elitist?
I am just another concerned citizen. It would be great to help America to return to her foundations and stop this runaway government. This blog is my attempt to help.
