Ever since Pres. Obama’s remarks regarding the Cambridge Police/Professor Gates situation, I have had an ever increasing feeling that as a white person, I am now a victim of discrimination. (Please note that I did not say anything about being female and discriminated against.) When our President exhibits a knee-jerk reaction blaming the white cop, it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I decided to write about this when I read this National Journal post by Stuart Taylor. Here are the four things that lead me to believe that Pres. Obama is a racist and is pursuing racist policies against white people:
1. Pres. Obama attended Rev. Wright’s sermons for 20 years and saw nothing wrong with the rhetoric. Only after it became an issue did he throw the Racist Rev. under the bus. Even then, he threw his white granny under the bus as the moral equivalent.
2. The Justice Dept. has declined to prosecute the New Black Panthers boldly engaging in voter intimidation in Philadelphia last year. There is no reasonable explanation for this except it was their black guys doing it.
3. The nomination of a “wise latina woman” to the highest court in the nation. This was driven by pure demographics and a desire for race conscious justice. Give the latino and blacks the benefit of the doubt as they have experienced discrimination at the hand of the evil white people.
4. Obama’s “the black guy was wronged” reaction to the Cambridge Police/Professor Gates situation. This stupid reaction was tantamount to telling the black kids to not snitch. It perpetuates the “I am a victim of the white guy” thing.
Stuart Taylor’s article cites Amy Wax, a PA Law School prof, who says that institutional obstacles to equality are almost nonexistent because of the major strides this nation has made. The obstacles that exist in the black community are self-inflicted now. Racial profiling is a minor obstacle compared to the real ones that can only be eliminated by their own communities.
Somehow, I continue to cling to the thought that Pres. Obama has a unique perspective on these racial issues because he is both black and white. Now, I think that he only sees through a lens of black victimhood. Geraldo said that blacks and hispanics see things differently than white people do. I am beginning to see things differently now that I know that Obama is a racist.
This is a very hard post to put out. I’m not too comfortable with it all. But the feeling keeps growing.
