Obama invited black "folks" to quit "complainin'" and to "put on your marching shoes."
The irony, of course, is that Obama's presiding over an economy in which the unemployment rate among blacks has skyrocketed. His pigmentation isn't going to alter that fact, and his policies will only make things worse. Yet, group-think being what it is, he'll still collar way over 90% of the black vote, nudged along by morons like Morgan Freeman, who seems to think that he's just woken up in 1960s Selma, Alabama. Funny how the same large numbers of Caucasians who helped elect Obama in 2008 are now supposedly dusting off their old Klan robes.
As the saying goes, if you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you're not a racist, you're going to have to vote for somebody else in 2012 to prove you're not an idiot.

Morgan Freeman is proof that talent is not indicative of moral clarity. Thinking of his stance as you laid out, Paco, I was reminded of the scene in "Blazing Saddles" in which Clevon Little and Gene Wilder wearing stolen KKK robes are in the line with thieves, Nazis, etc. As they reach the table, Clevon reaches out to sign the paper, and the ruse is given up. Unfortunatly, Morgan and Danny didn't steal their robes.

I think you treat morons unfairly by elevating Morgan Freeman to their ranks, Paco.
ReplyDeleteBut I take your meaning: Morgan is living proof that actors need not have intelligence in order to succeed.
The point to take away is that Obama believes he has to pander to his black base. That's very telling. And to do that, he has to be seen doing it. That in turn should make it much more difficult to pick up votes from the true middle.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of surprised he even realized he was in trouble. OTOH, it does appear to be making him testy.
I don't know. I watched some of that debate the other night. Perry is becoming very diappointing to me. Trump said he may run as a thrid party candidate if the field does not appear strong. That would probably put Obama back in business.
ReplyDeleteThis was in the comments @ the linked page:
ReplyDeleteBarack Obama got out of the shower and was drying off when he looked in the mirror and noticed that he was white from the neck to the top of his head. In a sheer panic and fearing he was turning white all over, he called his doctor and told him what had happened. The doctor advised him to come to his office immediately. After an examination, the doctor mixed a concoction of brown liquid, gave it to Barack, and told him to drink it all. Barack drank the concoction and said, "That tasted like #$%$"
"It was." the doctor replied, "You were a quart low."
If so many black Americans voted for Obi because he's black, and will vote for him again because he's black, doesn't that make them the real racists?
ReplyDeleteRaised by white folks in Hawai'i, a state whose natives are mostly mixes of various cultured, ethnicities, and races...The Current Occupant's barely more 'black' than I am.
