Obama Drama
Posted by Joy Bischoff under: Presidential Election 2008 .
Lately, I have left the Obama drama alone but after reading this opinion piece by Ann Coulter, I felt a responsibility to warn out readers that it appears fairly certain now that Obama is a racist. If a white person who was running for public office was a racist, I would be concerned and would highlight that disturbing fact. I can do no less for the other side of the coin, black racism toward whites.
I have spend my life speaking out against racism towards blacks but the time came when I realized it was hypocritical of me not to speak out against reverse racism. Notice Obama’s technique to handle white people. I agree with Ann that we can see this method being used in his candidacy.
OBAMA’S DIMESTORE ‘MEIN KAMPF’
By Ann Coulter
If characters from “The Hills” were to emote about race, I imagine it would sound like B. Hussein Obama’s autobiography, “Dreams From My Father.”
Has anybody read this book? Inasmuch as the book reveals Obama to be a flabbergasting lunatic, I gather the answer is no. Obama is about to be our next president: You might want to take a peek. If only people had read “Mein Kampf” …
Nearly every page — save the ones dedicated to cataloguing the mundane details of his life — is bristling with anger at some imputed racist incident. The last time I heard this much race-baiting invective I was … in my usual front-row pew, as I am every Sunday morning, at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
Obama tells a story about taking two white friends from the high school basketball team to a “black party.” Despite their deep-seated, unconscious hatred of blacks, the friends readily accepted. At the party, they managed not to scream the N-word, but instead “made some small talk, took a couple of the girls out on the dance floor.”
But with his racial hair-trigger, Obama sensed the whites were not comfortable because “they kept smiling a lot.” And then, in an incident reminiscent of the darkest days of the Jim Crow South … they asked to leave after spending only about an hour at the party! It was practically an etiquette lynching!
So either they hated black people with the hot, hot hate of a thousand suns, or they were athletes who had come to a party late, after a Saturday night basketball game.
In the car on the way home, one of the friends empathizes with Obama, saying: “You know, man, that really taught me something. I mean, I can see how it must be tough for you and Ray sometimes, at school parties … being the only black guys and all.”
And thus Obama felt the cruel lash of racism! He actually writes that his response to his friend’s perfectly lovely remark was: “A part of me wanted to punch him right there.”…
Obama’s gaseous disquisition on the “white man’s rules” leads to this charming crescendo: “Should you refuse this defeat and lash out at your captors, they would have a name for that, too, a name that could cage you just as good. Paranoid. Militant. Violent. Nigger.”
For those of you in the “When is Obama gonna play the ‘N-word’ card?” pool, the winner is … Page 85! Congratulations!
When his mother expresses concern about Obama’s high school friend being busted for drugs, Obama says he patted his mother’s hand and told her not to worry.
This, too, prompted Obama to share with his readers a life lesson on how to handle white people: “It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved — such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn’t seem angry all the time.”
First of all, I note that this technique seems to be the basis of Obama’s entire presidential campaign. But moreover — he was talking about his own mother! As Obama says: “Any distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning.” Say, do you think a white person who said that about blacks would be a leading presidential candidate?
He says the reason black people keep to themselves is that it’s “easier than spending all your time mad or trying to guess whatever it was that white folks were thinking about you.”

I’ve tried to give Obama the benefit of the doubt but after reading this the jury is in. He is a racist and everyone should know it. If they then want to vote for a man who is racist then fine, their choice. I was disgusted when he sold out his grandma but still hoped it didn’t really mean he was racist. I hoped he didn’t really go along with his pastor but let’s get real. He wouldn’t be so close to him and give so much money if he didn’t have similar views.

I’ll be honest enough to admit this is something I’ve struggled with. My parents were prejudiced but when I was grown I realized I had to fight that. I’ve had some bad experiences which make it harder to over come but I know it is wrong to not have Christ-like love for all God’s children so I really try. I never did buy the idea that because whites kept blacks as slaves that this gives them a right to hate us. Hate is wrong…period.

I have had a black person telling me I’ld go to hell just because I am white. I was on a mission for my church — pocket name tag and everything, in New York City. We were sitting on subway. This black guy was sitting across from us. He stared us for a while, then he said, “Do you know you are going to hell?” Just like that. My companion asked, “Why?” He replied, “Because you are white.” My companion, having heard of this religious group, decided to ask him some more questions. He claimed that Jesus is black, not Jew. He said there is nothing we can do about getting out of hell, all simply because of the color of our skins. It does not matter how much we have accepted Jesus as our Savior. He was not angry or anything like that, but he did have that attitude of being superior to us. It was my first exposure to the reverse racism. As soon as I heard the doctrines of Obama’s church, I knew they both have the similiar belief system. It was not hard for me to know Obama is a racist. I continue to be amazed that the general public has not seen that — yet!

SGS, that is so freaky. I had no idea there were people like that out there. I hate racism going both ways. I have kind of liked Obama and was thinking about voting for him. I knew he was really liberal and everything but I figured we could watch him really close and keep him in line. But now knowing about this racism I don’t think I could vote for anyone who hates someone because of the color of there skin.

T. Fan, don’t feel bad about having to work at it. Since your folks were racist it would be natural for you to have those feelings but it says lots about you that you recognized the problem and are fighting it. I admire that.

What gets me is that if a lot of people read this they would call us racist because we aren’t allowed to say that blacks are racist without somehow getting tarred with the same brush. I have black buddies and they know I’m not racist but I don’t think I would have the guts to say to them that I don’t think it is right for blacks to hate whites. Somehow that would make me a racist. The MSM helps make things that way and it stinks. Things won’t get better until both sides decide to stop hating.

I’ve never really thought about it before but I think whites have been programmed to be so nervous talking about this subject that we accept whatever is being said out there. I guess even talking about the fact that there is a problem makes us feel racist. Is that part of the whole labels of political correctness herding us to where they want us to be in our attitudes? I’m new to this thinking so someone tell me if I am on track here.

I think Jan it is all how we are brought up personally.
I have never been afraid to stand up against racism of any kind reverse or not. I find it completely ridiculous that people can view themselves as better than someone else period. We are all loved equally by the Lord and that is all that should matter.
I look at race as not an identification but as a gift…we are all so blessed to be different. People need to start realizing that.

Good for you, Nalvy. I’m afraid in my circles that things like this aren’t talked about. It shouldn’t be that way. Perhaps it is because there are still a lot of white people who are prejudiced so the rest of us go overboard to try and prove how tolerant we are but we shouldn’t be tolerant of hatred. I think we need to be careful to make very clear that we know there are a lot of great African-Americans who do not hate whites.
