A day doesn’t go by without a news editorial about how anyone who disagrees with Obama does so out of deep racial feelings. I read one recently where the guy claimed people were acting racist even though they weren’t aware they were – it was subconscious.

Are these people serious?

Obama IS the first (partially) black president.

Obama IS NOT the first president to have people vehemently disagree with his policies.

Weren’t the rest of you present the past 8 years while people called W a retard, 9/11 mastermind, terrorist, idiot, etc. etc. etc.?! Were all of the people who called Bush names racist against white people?

Obama could NEVER have been elected if a crapload of white people hadn’t voted for him.

The REST of us white people dislike Obama. And guess what? I feel EXACTLY the same way about Hillary, and John Edwards, and Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid. I am against their idiotic policies, not against their color or gender.

Why can’t I disagree with a policy without being labeled (by everyone including Jimmy Carter) as a racist?

Screw you, race-baiting morons.

I know this is an outrageous idea. I hope Obama and Gates don’t gang up on Crowley and beat him senseless. You know how those gangs of Harvard grads can be.

Anyhow, the funniest part of this kegger idea (aside from the fact that Obama was an idiot for shooting his mouth off in the first place) is that it’s ticked off locals who are upset about the choice of beer.

Locals think that they should serve Sam Adams, since the incident occurred in Boston. Obama said he was going to be drinking Bud Light, which many realized is no longer a domestic brand. Should the president really be drinking foreign beer? That would be like letting Toyota make the presidential limo!

Gates has already stated that he won’t let bygones be bygones unless he gets an apology from Crowley. Crowley has already stated that he will never apologize because he is not a racist and was following police procedures perfectly. Obama is simply there because he couldn’t resist jumping on the race bandwagon.

The really funny and tragically ironic part of the whole Gates-Gate was that Gates really believes that he is above the law because he’s a Harvard professor with lots of money. He’s not really upset that he got arrested because of his race… he’s upset because he’s an elitist who got embarrassed because of his actions.

Gates really picked the wrong cop to accuse of racism (Crowley was picked by a black man to teach officers how NOT to racially profile). He picked the wrong good samaritan to accuse of racism (the woman who called in the “break-in” and NEVER mentioned race).

Basically, he couldn’t have looked like a bigger bozo unless of course he was the President of the United States and decided to shoot his mouth off, exposing his true racial feelings while commenting on a situation he had no personal knowledge about.

Let’s hope the racial harmony kegger solves 250 years of racial tension.

First off, blacks originally came to this country as slaves. Granted, this was 250 years ago and ancient history, but still… it’s a fact.

In 1861, white people had ALL the power. Period. Blacks were not allowed to vote, not allowed to be property owners, not allowed to do anything except be slaves.

WHITE PEOPLE decided to end slavery. It’s not as if there was a slave uprising.

The Civil War resulted in massive loss of life… of WHITE PEOPLE who fought to free the slaves.

After the Civil War, racism was still prevalent. Black people were still not granted basic rights. They had separate bathrooms, had to sit in the back of the bus, and still didn’t have access to decent jobs. But at least they weren’t slaves anymore.

In the 1960s, WHITE PEOPLE still had ALL of the power.

The civil rights movement began and black people started pushing to be given their rights. Now, I fully agree that they had every right to demand their rights. Black people are people just like white people.

My point is, blacks had zero power in 1960. Zero.

Once again, WHITE PEOPLE with power decided to do the right thing. They didn’t have to. They could have squashed the civil rights movement without breaking a sweat. They could have just sent in the police and military and crushed anyone who acted up.

There were a lot of ignorant white people who didn’t like that the white politicians were giving in, but nevertheless, blacks were fully recognized, as they should be.

WHITE PEOPLE wrote and implemented Affirmative Action. WHITE PEOPLE created the welfare system beloved by elements of the black community today.

Those programs didn’t have to be put in. White people put them in because it seemed like the right thing to do.

Today, we don’t have separate drinking fountains for blacks. We don’t make black people sit at the back of the bus. We don’t freak out when a black person moves in next door. We don’t freak out when a black person gets a promotion (unless it was undeserved).

So now I’m really going to step in it. (I must love controversy)

Black people today who complain about racism dishonor their ancestors who really DID experience atrocities at the hands of white people.

Being pulled over by the cops and inconvenienced is a far cry from being forced to pick cotton for no pay and be whipped. Being pulled over by the cops and inconvenienced is a far cry from being forced to sit in the back of the bus as a second-class citizen. Being pulled over by the cops and inconvenienced is a far cry from not being able to go to college or get meaningful work.

Even older black folks who lived through the years before the civil rights movement deserve more credit than those born in the past 40 years. The level of racism and oppression of blacks has been cut to a relatively tiny amount over the past 250 years, especially during the past 40 years… AT THE HANDS OF WHITE PEOPLE.

Don’t white people get some credit for STOPPING those bad actions by their own choice?

My people (the Irish) were oppressed by the Brits for 800 long years. But if I started whining about being oppressed because I’m Irish, everyone would think I was a moron. That happened in the past, and not to me.

The cure for racism in America is for everyone to turn in their race cards, shut up, and get to work being the best they can be.

I was going 39 in a 35, and he wrote me a ticket.

Granted, I was speeding (barely), so I deserved a ticket, I suppose. However, NO ONE gets a ticket for going 4 miles over the speed limit. No one.

Did he give me a ticket because I was male? Probably not, considering he was also male.

Nope, I’m positive he gave me the ticket because he hates white people.

Why do I have to worry about getting profiled by black police officers in Johnson County? I didn’t do anything to deserve that kind of suspicion! If a black man had been going 4 over the speed limit, there’s NO WAY this cop would have given him a ticket.

Or would he?

That’s the number one problem with proving racial profiling… you can’t prove it without seeing ALL of the department statistics and doing a real analysis. Maybe they are profiling… not by race but by some other criteria.

For example, maybe they pull over cars with Missouri plates because they have stats that show most crimes in KC are committed by Missourians. Maybe they pull over young men because historically young men are the most likely to get into trouble. Maybe they’re pulling over cars that are driving a certain way. Maybe they’re pulling over people who fit the description of a crime that just occurred. Maybe it’s just 4 AM and they’re bored.

Cops are trained to look for things that look out of place. Maybe that includes a racial component.

Johnson County, Kansas a very small black population… just 2.4%. It’s 89% white.

Can you see how a car from Missouri with a black person in it driving around at 4 AM might look out of place to a Johnson County cop? It looks out of place because it IS out of place. Certainly, there’s a strong possibility that person has a perfectly legitimate reason for being there. There’s also a possibility that he’s not.

If a carload of white teens from Johnson County were cruising around KC, MO at 4 AM, they’d undoubtedly be stopped by the police. Probably a black police officer. They would certainly be out of place, and probably up to no good, and the stop would be totally justified.

The fact is, we want the police to protect us, but we want them to also act like profiles are irrelevant. Profiling is probably the strongest tool the police have in crime PREVENTION.

If 30 year old bald men were known in a particular area for committing lots of crime, I would expect to be pulled over for no reason.

16.6% of black males in the United States are convicted of a crime and sent to jail. 2.6% of white males are convicted of a crime and sent to jail. Does racism account for this drastic difference? Or are black males committing more crimes than white males?

I can’t believe that it’s racism. It’s certainly not ALL racism. Perhaps there’s a skew in the statistics because black males are more likely to be targeted by police, but regardless, it isn’t the entire gap. Statistically speaking, black males commit a VAST majority of crimes.

Is it racism to say that? Or is it a statement of fact?

We cannot go around pretending like those stats don’t exist. That’s not smart… just politically correct.

Tell me I’m wrong.

Seems as though Gates’ assertions of racism are getting thinner and thinner, eh? Add to that the fact that the woman who called 911 was also NOT white.

Gates assumed that the caller was racist and assumed that the police officer was racist, and in his assumptions he proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that HE is a racist. Obama shooting off his big stupid mouth also proved that HE is a racist.

It should come as no surprise that our President is a racist. He went to a Black Liberation Theology church for 20 years. That entire school of thought is racist at its core. Imagine if there was such a thing as “White Liberation Theology.” Or “White” ANYTHING theology. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Barack Obama (I’m putting him into that category from now on) would be on every TV program in America SPUTTERING about how stinking racist those organizations are.

There is a Black Caucus in congress. There’s a Black Entertainment Television. There’s a Black Movie Awards. There’s a National Black Political Party. There’s a National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (by the way, are we even allowed to use the term “colored people” anymore?). There’s even a National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers.

I’m not making ANY of that up.

Can you IMAGINE if there was a White Entertainment Television. How about a White Movie Awards. A National White Political Party? How about a National Association for the Advancement of Honkies?

The argument made by blacks is that “we white people get EVERYTHING ELSE, but they have to claim their little territory.”

Bull. I call BULL.

Have you watched TV in the last 10 years? Have you watched the Academy Awards? How about the MTV movie awards. Have you watched an NFL game?

White people don’t not own the monopoly on success anymore. This country really does offer equal opportunities to people who work hard and use their gifts. The NFL is a perfect example. The NFL is 60% blacks, and the population as a whole is only around 20%. That almost sounds like reverse discrimination, EXCEPT THAT IT’S BASED ON MERIT, YOU MORONS!

Why can I accept that black people are WAY better at something than white people, but the reverse isn’t true?

You can say or believe whatever you want to just so long as you’re not a white Christian male.

Gates is black.

From his chosen field of lifelong study, it’s clear that he has a big chip on his shoulder.

Now, let me preface my comments by saying this: Profiling does occur in the United States. I see it happening just down the road – the only cars that get pulled over are Missouri plates, usually black males. I have no trouble believing that the police are picking on black people (even if they have their reasons).

By reasons, I mean that if statistics show in a given neighborhood that 99% of the residents are white, and 99% of the crimes in the neighborhood are committed by black males 20-30 years old… then by gosh, the police SHOULD focus their efforts on black males 20-30 years old. That’s just common sense. Just like it’s common sense to give extra scrutiny to Middle Eastern young men on airplanes.

Duh.

Ok, that’s enough prefacing.

Gates came back from a long trip. Gates’ front door was stuck. He and his driver (also black) started ramming their shoulders into the door trying to un-stick the door. A passer-by saw two men trying to break a door open and called the cops.

The cops came, and by that time Gates was inside. He came to the door and the cops asked to see his ID.

This is where it starts being stupid.

Gates refused to show them ID and started going off on how they were racists because they assumed a black man smashing his shoulder on the door was breaking in.

Hmmm. I’m pretty sure the police would assume ANYONE ramming into the door with their shoulder was probably up to no good. Dontcha think?

Anyhow, Gates got more and more agitated and ultimately was arrested for disorderly conduct (since he wouldn’t cooperate – an act which would have been as difficult as showing his driver’s license with THAT friggin address on it).

Jesse Jackson and the other moronic race-baiters have decided that the police acted out of racism.

Personally, if someone sees a guy smacking into MY front door with his shoulder (even if it’s me and the person just doesn’t happen to know I live there), I sure as heck want them to call the cops. And guess what? I won’t be offended that I have to show the cops my ID.

EVEN IF IT’S A BLACK COP.

Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is a one trick pony because if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. This guy is obsessed with black history (particularly slavery and “white oppression), so every incident that involves a white man looks like racism to him.

I think the story speaks for itself. What do YOU think?

Yesterday on Facebook one of my friends (who happens to be black) lamented that she was the only person at her office who “knew what was happening” (she was referring to Michael Jackson’s memorial).

When Obama was elected last November, I observed MANY of my friends, black and white, swooning over the historical significance of a black man being elected. NOT, mind you, over the fact a Democrat had beat the Republican. The reaction was a dead giveaway about the true motives behind people’s vote.

While every single one of them said they voted for Obama because of his political ideas, when it came down to it they were excited to be part of the first black man becoming president. Some still cling to the idea that it’s Obama’s policies that they voted for, even as he takes us down the path to socialism and hyperinflation…. I suppose they COULD still like his policies, but that’s a topic for another day.

And that’s fine. That’s their prerogative. It’s completely a BAD reason to vote for someone (just as it would be bad to vote AGAINST Obama because of his color), and it’s disingenuous to say you voted for one reason when you voted mainly because of another reason… but whatever. You can do what you want. This is America.

When OJ Simpson was acquitted, every black person I knew was elated… cheering and dancing in the streets. Every white person I knew was disgusted and incredulous. It was pretty clear to everyone, black AND white, that OJ was guilty. It appeared, at least to me, that the black population was happy that OJ was acquitted because in their eyes, whitey was ALWAYS getting away with stuff and it was about time a black guy got away with one.

Were black people justified in their anger over Rodney King being beaten by the LAPD? I’m not really sure. The police accounts (which were backed up by the video) stated that King was on PCP and kept getting up and fighting even after they started beating him. PCP made him feel invincible and gave him superhuman strength. It’s a scientific reality that those affects are normal for PCP. So if a white guy had been on PCP and acting that way, do we honestly believe the police would have acted any differently? It’s hypothetical so there’s no real answer, but I think it’s worth considering.

What is it about our culture that makes people ASSUME racism?

I have a strong dislike for Obama and his policies. I think Obama was part of the Chicago machine, I think he took money from sleazy unions, organizations, and individuals and then paid them back with appointments and legislation. In fact, I don’t just think that… it’s fact. I think he was literally only elected for two reasons:

One, he wasn’t the same party as George W. Bush.

Two, he was black.

I didn’t vote against Obama because of his color. I voted against Obama because he believes we should nationalize private companies (he says he doesn’t want to, but actions speak louder than words), nationalize health care, abort late-term babies, and play nice with despotic nations intent upon killing anyone who isn’t a Muslim.

Those are some pretty bad things, in my humble opinion. I honestly don’t understand how anyone who is a Christian could vote for someone who adamantly supports late-term, partial birth abortion on demand. I just don’t understand that at all. That’s not compassion… that’s callous and evil.

The problem with America is that a white person can’t say something negative about a black person without being called a racist. I was constantly called racist during the election in 08, because I was always writing anti-Obama articles. I was called racist during the OJ Simpson trial because I thought he should go to jail for killing those people.

It’s racist for you to assume everything I believe is based on skin color.

When Tiller was killed, the White House was “outraged” and quickly “condemned the cowardly act.” When a white supremacist with love for all things socialist killed two people at the Holocaust Museum yesterday, the White House was “saddened.”

WTF White House?!

Can we at least be outraged and condemn BOTH of them?

Even if you think killing Tiller was a hate crime, you should at least be able to acknowledge that killing people because you hate “Jews and Negros” is equally bad… Every stinking politician and political action group condemned Tiller’s killing. Where are all those people now?

Was it worse to kill Tiller because he was an advocate for the left, a doctor, and a well-known national figure? Is that worse than killing a security guard just trying to do his job? Apparently so, based on the reaction.

I was baffled by the lack of media coverage of the two soldiers killed the same day as Tiller by a jihadist Muslim wacko, and I’m equally confused by the reaction to yesterday’s shooting. The inconsistency is ridiculous and laughable to anyone with critical thinking abilities.

When Tiller was killed, it was the top story for a week. Earlier today I couldn’t find the Holocaust Museum story on CNN’s website. For the record, it’s there now, but geez…. where was it? They only put it back up to the top because they had new information. Tiller’s story was up for a week and didn’t change at all.

Anyone who still thinks the media isn’t in the tank for the left is a moron. Yeah, “we” have Fox News, but you have EVERYTHING ELSE.

Obama is a racist, and the most recent proof is his nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Pizza Court. Sotomayor is a federal judge, and she has an interesting personal story of rising up from poverty. However, it’s ludicrous to assume she is the most qualified person for this position. In fact, there are droves of people who have much more impressive credentials that include writing opinions on Constitutional law, something Sotomayor hasn’t really done (and what I might say is a fairly crucial skill for a Supreme Pizza Court justice).

No, Sotomayor was nominated because she is Hispanic. Better yet, she’s a Hispanic woman. She is the answer to the Hispanic community’s cry for a justice, and Obama knows he needs to cater to the ever-expanding Hispanic voting base.

However, what everyone seems to be forgetting is this: George W. Bush nominated a Hispanic to the Supreme Court – and guess what happened? The Democrats filibustered to block his confirmation. Just like they did when they blocked the Republicans’ nomination of a black woman. The Democrats are simply catering to their voting base to cover up the sins of their past.

They can now claim that they are the “big tent” party that doesn’t have a racist bone in their bodies, while all the time, the only reason we HAVEN’T had a Hispanic justice is that they blocked it – primarily because they don’t like pro-life people. In that case, it had nothing to do with race – it was a philosophical disagreement.

Hmmm. So basically they feel they can block someone of a minority if they disagree with their politics. Hmmm. Isn’t that exactly what they are accusing the Republicans of doing now?

I don’t care if people want to play politics. That’s par for the course. Just don’t pretend like we’re racists for doing exactly the same thing you do. Hypocrisy is not an attractive quality.

Even if you ignore the fact they blocked our Hispanic nominee, they are still trying to fix “racism” by using their own racism. Nominating someone simply on their race is racism, even if you’re nominating a minority. If a white man said the kind of things that Sotomayor has said, he would be called a racist and summarily dismissed.

Attempting to undo racism with racism is just stupid. Two wrongs still don’t make a right.

I believe that unborn babies are babies. Thus, I believe it’s wrong to kill them. If you believe they’re not babies, then you’re entitled to your incorrect opinion, and your desire to let them be killed makes sense. If you believe they ARE babies and still think abortion is okey dokey, then you are a sick person.

But how does my belief that unborn are babies make me a right-wing extremist with potential to be a terrorist? Sure, back in the 80’s a couple of nutjobs bombed abortion clinics. Interestingly, the only portion of the clinics ever bombed were the lobby, and it was later discovered that some of them were done by PRO abortion activists and even staff of the clinics to give the pro-life crowd a black eye.

How does my belief that we should protect our borders from ILLEGAL entry into our country? I don’t have a problem with legal immigration! In fact, some of the smartest people I’ve ever met are LEGAL immigrants into the US. I’m proud to have them as my friends. How could it be EXTREMISM to think we should protect our borders from ANYONE being able to wander in – including REAL TERRORISTS!?

DHS has backed off their stance that vets coming back from Iraq are potential terrorists. Apparently that didn’t fly too well. However, they aren’t backing off their attack on conservative Christianity. It’s a blatant ideological attack on Christianity and conservatism. Blatant.

What about all the LEFT-WING nutjob extremists. How come they aren’t on the list? There are plenty of leftist activist groups that happily voice their discontent.

This may be the most blatant attack on Christianity in America ever. Believe what you will. Think Christianity is stupid and wrong. Think abortion and open borders are ok. But don’t think for one second that it’s ok to quash the voices that oppose your beliefs. That’s the most un-American thing you could ever do.

God help us all.
