Looks like today we’re going to get yet another Obama lecture on race – this from the most racially-divisive President we’ve ever had. This from a President who, as an African-American, is as far removed from your average black person as I am. He can talk all he wants about racial division and politics, but both he and his wife have been spoon-fed privileged and coddled from the very get-go. Neither Barack or Michelle Obama know anything about getting up before light to fight traffic or grab a bus to a job. Neither of them know what it’s like to live on a budget, to make ends meet, or to fear losing their job or their health insurance.
The one thing they both know how to do is to milk the system for everything they can get, then live as king and queen playing golf, surrounding themselves with celebrities, and jetting around the world to posh places on the taxpayer’s dime.
And I don’t want to hear anything about me not understanding African-Americans or racial politics because I’m not black. Let me tell you something – were Martin Luther King, Jr. alive today he’d be shocked at the disintegration of the African-American community in the last fifty years at the hands of not-so-well-meaning Democrats and liberals whose entitlement programs, support for abortion on demand, antipathy towards Christianity, and blind support of public education and the teachers unions have decimated the African-American family unit and left it to rot and die in inner-city ghettos with little hope or incentive of escape in attaining any kind of a better life.
Why Republicans and conservatives don’t splash this kind of message everywhere is beyond me, because Bob Woodson is truly speaking “truth to power”:
“Blacks today, we’re talking about the dream, for many the dream, for poor people, is a nightmare,” he said. “Everybody has come in front of them on the bus. Gays, immigrants, women, environmentalists. We never hear any talk about the conditions confronting poor blacks and poor people in general.”
Damned spanky. The truth is, Democrats only care about African-Americans when it comes time to round up the votes. You want to know who liberals truly care about? Just check out your daily Yahoo! home page – try and find a day without some sob story about illegal immigrants, gays, transgenders, atheists, or Hollywood celebrities behaving badly. And you know why? Because these are the folks political action committees pay attention to; these are the folks who have the money to support the most au courant Democratic and liberal causes. African-Americans? They’re yesterday’s news, symbols of a golden era of liberalism you can pull out of your political wallet whenever the race card needs to be played.
Let’s face it: in liberal and Democratic political circles African-Americans only matter when election cycles come around and there’s something like Trayvon Martin’s death to make political hay of. I don’t know anything about Martin or his life, but the idea of folks making Martin out to be some kind of saint is beyond pathetic. Because he wasn’t, and both you, and me, and his attention-craving parents know it. But that’s all race-mongers and race-hustlers like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, and, yes, Barack Obama have left in their playbook. They want people to believe it’s still 1965 and mean Republicans and conservatives are trying to roll back whatever progress has been made since then.
Just one example: voter ID laws. Democrats hate voter ID laws. They say it disenfranchises African-Americans but even they know that’s a crock of sh*t – they hate them because they make it harder to cheat in elections, something Democrats specialize in. Think about it: you can’t get on a plane, apply for a credit card, get a driver’s license, or even order a beer at the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport without an ID, but by golly, requiring someone to show an ID at a voting station is disenfranchisement. Oh, did we say it’s racist as well? What a bunch of stooges.
You want a discussion on race, President Obama? Let’s talk about the inner cities where African-American kids are forced into failing public schools because your Justice Department won’t support school choice. Let’s talk about how Democrats keep pushing for higher minimum wages, knowing all too well that it will result in less jobs and make it harder for African-American teenagers to get that first valuable job. Or how Democrats are pushing amnesty for illegals, knowing full well what the influx of larger numbers of less-educated and cheap labor will mean for the African-American community at large.
You want to talk about the lack of progress in race relations, President Obama? Talk about race-baiting stooges and shake-down artists like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the NAACP who use the cause of so-called “civil rights” to feather their own pockets while happily playing the role of contented slaves to their masters, the liberal Democratic plantation owners who’ve moved far beyond Selma and Montgomery, knowing there are more important – and politically attractive – disenfranchised fringe groups needing their attention and protection in return for just a few dollars more. Because, in the end, that’s what it’s all about.
It’s truly tragic and pathetic, but don’t expect our race-baiting, politically-divisive President to usher a word of any of this.
