Double Standards: Are Obama Supporters Racist?

What would the media think if 91% of whites lined up to support a white candidate who only had 36% approval among blacks?

PS–I’d be interested to see Leslie Marshall put her little theory to the test and point to a single Jewish politician in America today who enjoys a 90+ approval rating among the entire Jewish community.

    I wanted to add… this “entitlement mentality” is in no way restricted to the black community. There are far too many “Americans” from ALL ethnic groups who suffer from this mindset.

      Thanks for adding this. With the current administration’s goal of socialism, it will necessarily mean that more Americans will be getting the Federal check in one form or another. Look at the unemployment checks. Obama is destroying the American dream.

      That is right. Entitlement syndrome is a cancer that not only involves those that accept government assistance but also includes many in the middle class. There are many that have a job, but their job is not something felt that working hard is how to keep it. They think they deserve to have that job.

      Entitlement syndrome, promoted by our government for decades, is seriously destroying our capability to compete.

    There are essentially two groups of Blacks that we are dealing with here. One group, which are stricken with the OJ Simpson syndrome, will support Obama for any reason including bad reasons. Reason, logic and facts will not reach them. They are hopeless. The other group are people are “cloud” walker, they just go about their lives believing what they hear and not asking tough questions. Essentially they are misinformed. It is this group of Blacks that I focus Black Quill and Ink on. They are people who when given good facts can do what is right. As a Black, I am horrified at the 91% that still support this guy but many of us do not have good information. Hence………….Black Quill and Ink

    The Progressives have been giving the black community “fish” for years. The Conservatives understand that “giving them each poles and teaching them to fish” is the only way for ANYONE to live the American Dream. The black community in large part has “chosen” to take the fish and purport the myth that the Conservatives are trying to keep them from living the dream… which is the antithesis of the actual truth.

    It takes wisdom to see that “learning to fish” for yourself is the only way to truly “live”… as opposed to simply “existing” as many currently do now. Anyone individual or group that believes in “entitlement” rather than “self-reliance“ will automatically be a ”have not”, who is reliant upon governmental support. Ironically, it may end up being Obama himself, through his own failures, who finally helps the black community understand this truth and shift their collective paradigm… and political allegiances.

We must consider the fact that they have been treated…………..less than fair over time. Think about it: what if this was the first White President in history? Wouldn’t a large number of us be swayed by that fact? As imperfect beings we are all subject to make decisions based on emotion at some point in our life.

    Dr. Thomas Sowell wrote a book back in 1995 titled “The Vision of the Anointed – Self Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy”. It’s an absolute MUST READ. This was followed his 1994 book “Race and Culture – A World View”, another insightful book.

    People constantly harp on racism, but what passes for racism here in the United States would be laughable in other countries. And the “elite” society smiles and pats itself on the back for having elected a “black” Commander in Chief (although I was repeatedly told that Mr. Clinton was our first “black” POTUS).

    When the word is applied incorrectly, it becomes cloudy and distorted. The more that “racism” is used as a “throw away line”, the less meaning it has. Also, the axiom that blacks can not be racist is deeply flawed, as shown by the Rwandan massacres, the ongoing war in Sudan and other prime examples of racism within the African culture.

    With a “black” POTUS, I think that many blacks are feeling more powerful and expressing their own racist views more publicaly, such as the judge who stated that the white defendant did not deserve a plea bargain because in the judge’s view, a black defendant would not have gotten a plea bargain. While it is refreshing to have these people self-identify as racists, one must wonder if they understand how much they are harming their own cause.

    Sadly, I have met far too many people who believe that slavery was an uniquely American phenomena and are shocked – shocked – to discover that it still exists elsewhere in the world today. Others are surprised to hear that Sri Lanka has been destroyed by decades of racial wars. The idea that only white Americans could be racist or all white Americans are racist has become so basic to many people that they never even think to question the premise. And those two concepts breed their own form of racism.

    It’s sad, very, very sad.

      SARA GOLDEN comments, “White people have suffered at the hands of blacks, mexicans, and indians being told they have more rights and that WHITES are racist against THEM.”

      Uh oh, you really stepped in it this time. Blacks and Browns, yes, lot of racism. Reds, no.

      Look around, Sara, you will not find an Al Sharpton nor a Jesse Jackson amongst my peoples. Look again, you will not find a Janet Murguía nor a Loretta Sanchez. Pay attention and you will learn my peoples soundly reject the recent “affinity” declaration by the NAACP, and you will find we reject similar claims of affinity by La Raza.

      My peoples do not claim affinity with any cultural group other than our own. We mind our own business, we take care of our own, we work within our legal system, we display respect for all without thought to skin color.

      American Indians do not riot, loot and burn down cities because we don’t like a jury verdict, nor do we march down streets while waving flags of a foreign country to the south. We are not members of the Black Panthers nor are we members of the criminal SEIU union.

      Our peoples do not wear militant uniforms and scare away white voters nor are we here in America illegally. Indians are not members of the Nation of Islam nor mules for a Mexican drug cartel. American Indians are not Bloods nor Crips gunning down children on our hometown streets, and we are not slaughtering people by the thousands along the Mexican border.

      You stepped over the line by tossing my proud and patriotic peoples in with known racists. Doing so, Sara, this inclusion of my peoples in with Black and Brown racists is, in itself, white racism.

      However, perhaps you think this way because of innocent ignorance. This is what I believe. I do not think you to be a racist but I do think you to be misinformed.

      @OKPULOT TAHA

      I think that the Indian Nations must be careful, though. I have lived around the Crow in Montana and the Navajos in New Mexico. The government did a big injustice to them by sticking them on reservations and not allowing them to sell their own property. This makes it much harder for them to aquire wealth and be a part of another sector of America, if they choose to individually. (If I am wrong about that let me know) With the Indians getting federal assistance also makes them vulnerable, too, I believe.

      Look at what Van Jones said about giving the wealth to the Indians because of injustices. This shows me that Indians are a target to be exploited.

      All I am trying to say is to please be careful, because the Indians, I believe, are in a position to be used to further an agenda.

      BALDWIN 4 FREEDOM writes, “…not allowing them to sell their own property…getting federal assistance also makes them vulnerable….”

      You are correct and you do not need to tiptoe around me while you are truthful.

      Part of this problem is many lands provided to Indians are worthless lands; barren and inhospitable. Intent by our government was to starve Indians to death, much as happened when our government sponsored slaughtering of buffalo to near extinction, which starved to death hundreds of thousands of Indians, to near extinction like the buffalo. When a peoples are in a condition of literally starving, this does make them vulnerable.

      You are right about federal assistance. I have a lot of recipes using government commodity cheese. This is an inside joke, a very sad joke within our tribes. What has happened, Baldwin, is a peoples are starving, weak, slaughtered and desperate to survive. They are literally herded up, forced into interment camps (reservations) then fed and clothed by our government, but not quite enough to survive. Being held prisoner in a sense, there is no access to medical care, no chance at schooling, no jobs, no means of becoming self-sufficient. This leads to generational welfare dependence, especially when horrific racism is tossed into this mix. End result is a sense of being hopeless which leads to alcoholism, drug addiction and crime, further adding to poverty.

      Another resultant of our history of treatment is a hatred of white people. This is justified. However, my peoples are unique; we have great common sense and we are inherently good thinkers. This hatred of whites was quickly squashed by our own peoples and is not a widespread problem today.

      What our government and past White America did not realize is we have a fierce spirit, we do not surrender, we do not give up. Over the past twenty to thirty years, after centuries of struggling, our peoples have acquired enough wealth to create our own businesses, such as casinos, light industry, retail products and similar. As you know, American Indian businesses are successful and spreading rapidly across America. We are more industrious than any other culture, literally.

      Another notion missed by “white eyes” is our fierce sense of family. We take care of our own. This is why our profits from private enterprise are turned right around and invested in our communities, such as infrastructure, housing, clothing, food, medical care and especially education. A lot of emphasis is placed upon education. We know education is the key to a better future.

      However, American Indians have not yet reached a stage we can take care of all tribes. We are making great advances, we are proving to be successful at a higher rate and faster rate than White America ever did, yet there remains pockets of dire poverty amongst our peoples across America. Those still living under horrific conditions are very vulnerable as you write.

      There are still problems and you know I would be lying if I denied alcoholism, drug addiction and crime were not a problem for our peoples. We still have a long ways to go to reach independence.

      Until all of our peoples are successful, some of us remain vulnerable to exploitation as you write.

      Some cultural and historical differences for you BALDWIN.

      There are very good reasons why American Indians are so pissed off at blacks and browns. Both cultural groups, blacks and browns, are trying to exploit my peoples, are trying to hold onto our successful coattails. This recent NAACP proclamation of “affinity” with American Indians infuriates us. However, we do not publicly speak of this; we have dignity and we have class.

      Blacks were enslaved. This is bad. However, blacks were not systematically slaughtered and imprisoned upon barren and lethal lands. Blacks suffered at the hands of whites, but blacks were not systematically slaughtered by our American military, were not killed by deliberate spread of disease, were not herded up, locked away then starved to death. Blacks did not suffer genocide.

      Browns were never enslaved. Browns did not suffer genocide. Browns suffered racism but have the greatest opportunity of minority groups. This is why our nation is flooded with illegal aliens who are leeching away our financial life blood.

      American Indians absolutely reject any claims of affinity with our peoples by blacks and browns.

      Blacks and browns demand entitlement, “Give us reparations, give us money, take care of us.”

      Reds demand, “Get the hell off our backs, get the hell out of our lives.”

      Blacks and browns have not been successful at starting up businesses to take care of their own. Blacks and browns do not have this American Indian fierce spirit to survive nor our fierce sense of family. Blacks and browns kill each other for personal gain. Reds protect each other and help each other at our own personal sacrifice.

      Blacks and browns choose dependence upon society. Reds choose independence from society.

      Those notions and more are well displayed by differences in business opportunity. Blacks and browns are out there in society and are subject to the same rules and regulations as whites as this pertains to starting up businesses and operating businesses.

      This is not true for reds. Initiating businesses upon our lands or off lands but owned by Indians, requires us to jump through endless government hoops, both state and local. Reason for this is our governments want to tax American Indians. Currently, under law, money transactions upon reservations cannot be taxed, we are independent nations, although we are denied independence.

      A good example of this, BALDWIN, is casinos. In almost all cases, Indians must initiate civil litigation to obtain business licenses and building permits for casinos. Our peoples are denied a right to start up business and we must sue for this right. Truth is, American Indians, during civil litigation to begin a business must concede to paying outrageous taxes before state and federal governments will allow us to start up a new business. On the average, government demands about half of our profits be handed over under a guise of taxes. If not, no business permit.

      Those taxes, those strong armed taxes, as you know, politicians use to pay for booze and hookers.

      Blacks and browns jump through the same business hoops as all others. Reds jump through endless hoops and must invest a lot of time and pay a lot of money to get through each hoop.

      If not for those endless discriminatory hoops, American Indians would be advancing infinitely faster.

      To close, BALDWIN, these histories of blacks and browns pale in comparison to this history of reds. Our histories are nothing alike. Blacks and browns proclaim affinity with reds to cling to our successful coattails, this angers my peoples. Blacks and browns demand entitlement and welfare. Reds demand the government leave us alone. Blacks and browns do not enjoy this sense of independence and family as do reds. Blacks and browns actively inflame racial tensions, reds keep a low profile and avoid inflaming racial tensions. Blacks and browns exploit their own. Reds sacrifice to take care of our own. There are many other highly noticeable differences between our cultures.

      Our cultures are absolutely nothing alike and my peoples reject claims by blacks and browns of affinity with our red peoples.

      I believe Sara Golden up there lumps reds in with blacks and browns because of those deceitful black and brown proclamations of affinity with reds. There is absolutely no affinity with our culture.

      BALDWIN, you write of exploitation of American Indians. This is true but until now you probably did not realize blacks and browns are amongst the worst of those trying to exploit my American Indian peoples for their own deceitful purpose of personal gain.

      I think a lot of of people feel the same as we do, notice what we do. However, “white guilt” and political correctness has just about everybody scared half to death to say anything.

      Racism is used as club today. Blacks and browns are constantly clubbing white folks over their heads with past, distant past racism. This causes “white guilt” and causes a fear of being labeled racist. This is using racism to control White America.

      Reality is a less percentage of whites are racist than are blacks and browns. Today’s racists are Black Americans and Mexican Americans. Poor white folks just cannot win.

      Political correctness is simply censorship. This is my hot button, really hot button. The instant someone tries to censor me, I go absolutely savage, no mercy.

      I inquired about the “one drop rule” when applied to black and Asian offspring (because their defining features come through more, making it harder to apply it), but wasn’t answered… because it’s an inconvenient question, I’m assuming.

      So, for the record: Obama’s skin is darker than white, but not lighter than black. There is no “lighter than black”. There is just “black”. Oh, and Asians don’t exist. That’s a myth.

      White + white = white.
      Black + black = black.
      White + black = black.

      Fun Fact: Contrary to popular belief, Obama was carried in a pouch on his father’s abdomen.

      One can break the rule in certain instances though: Obama “can’t be racist” because he’s “50% white”. It doesn’t work the other way around though; I am indeed racist despite also sharing 50% of Obama’s race. Obama can’t be racist towards me, because we’re almost the same… yet I can be racist to him because we’re not exactly the same.

      I‘ve been looking for the neurotic liberals’ handbook to life, but can’t find a copy anywhere, so I may be missing some of the fundamentals that make this all make sense… but rest assured, it does make sense. We’re just too racist to figure it out.

      It doesn’t matter that my GF is native, either. I’m still a racist.

      @FREEDOMOFSPEECH

      I’ll probably give it a read eventually, but don’t really think I need to. I told my GF the second I saw Obama: “He’s going to win, and opposition to him will be called racist.“ My YouTube description header read ”It is now racist to oppose your president” before the election was even won.

      There was no doubt… McCain? Could you choose a more decrepit looking GOP hack to play the bad guy? He’s the perfect contrast to drive people to the Dems; people wanted change, and McCain sure didn’t look the part. Everyone knows campaigning is all about image with society these days. If you ask me, it was just the Republican elites passing the torch across the aisle.

      Good Cop, bad cop. Over and over and over. You can get far more passed running the “opposition” against the prior party, so they made sure the Democrats won. I fear it will happen again this time around, especially in a state of emergency.

      It’s the final globalist push, and they are using race as a wedge to drive into society, dividing it. I said it from day one. I also said that Obama’s biracial makeup would offer the left a way out in the end by changing the argument to him “not being black enough”. That has already happened several times now. Bill Maher is one example. There’s always an out so they can try again. They are using blacks as a voting bloc (there’s no denying the race injections in the media) and when it’s apparent that Obama is a failure, it will be because he’s not really black. There’s always a “mistake” to “improve on” next time.

      I liked Glenn’s analogy with the painting: Step back. I knew virtually nothing about economics, foreign policy, the media, or anything else, but during a long drive with my GF one day early in the election, I predicted it all: America’s foes banding together, racial tensions, the collapse of the MSM, and even Oprah’s fall from her pedestal for involving herself in the campaign. All I had were opinions based on simplistic observation of society (which is easy to do when you’re an antisocial observer) and so far it’s panning out exactly how I said it would. It’s just common sense… Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, Iran, China, North Korea all want a piece of America one way or another. Naturally they are going to lean in the same direction, if only economically and socially. All they need to do is apply pressure. They don’t even have to be in agreement! They will naturally do it… who wouldn’t? That’s what you do. It’s the only logical thing to do. It’s no different than kids on a playground; when your enemy is getting picked on, you join in and encourage others to do the same. Carpe diem!

      I don’t think you can oversimplify human nature enough. From the personal level to entire nations, the safest bet seems to be the simplest one. It’s like looking at a bell curve; it looks chaotic up close, but smooth and linear from a distance. Just step back. I love Glenn because he actually puts names and dates to everything I have thought for years. Now my opinions have support in the form of actual literature on social engineering. My family used to think I was nuts, but now I just email them links to actual social engineers actually writing this stuff.

      When I look at Saul Alinsky, Cass Sunstein, Maurice Strong and Joel Rogers, I feel infinitely lazy… these people are so patient and organized. It’s scary. I’d prefer to actually just be a paranoid schizophrenic. Life would be so much easier.

      The left creates its racism in-house. It’s their primary weapon against society:

      At first I thought the race industry was self-defeating and based on stupidity, but then I realized their true intentions… as soon as I did, my disdain for school (despite having a love of learning) finally made sense to me; I was being sculpted. No wonder it felt unnatural and claustrophobic. I left in grade 8 and am self-educated. It’s the sole reason why I still have that love for learning… it hasn’t been choked out of me by public education.

      Create a problem in order to “fix” it. That’s what they are doing with racial tensions, among other things. We’ve all done it ourselves one way or another. I like how Glenn always says “there’s no star chamber”. He’s right… it’s just human nature. It’s more like a million tree houses connected via a crude network of rope bridges, populated entirely by hippies trading fart jars.

      I was talking to a friend of mine who happens to be black. He knows I can‘t stand Obama and he told me that most black people don’t really like him either because he hasn’t done anything for the black community. He also said that many blacks fear that what Obama is doing could result in another black president never getting elected again for 100 years. It was his thought that he wants Obama to “succeed” and “turn things around” so that the prospect of another black president remains viable. I can see the logic. I told him I thought every day he was in office, he was doing more damage to that cause. But my friend had hope that Obama would turn things around / see the error of his ways. So I don‘t know if I’d call it racist but I’d definitely call it racial.

      I want you to consider something for a moment: If someone you went to school with, someone you have known all your life got a really important job, wouldn’t you feel motivated to think him or her well? African-Americans see BHO in that context. He is “one of them” and he’s “done good”, they want to see him succeed.

      Over the years, I have spoken to many people who are from minority populations who can tell you every actor, politician, athlete, etc. that is from their group. They are proud of the accomplishments of someone “like them”, whether they agree with them or not. It is no different than you or I bragging about someone from our neighborhood or village who ended up being famous or successful. Just because a schmo like us “did good” doesn’t mean we agree with them.

      What we need to do as conservatives is reach out to our like-minded friends in the African-American Community and empower them to support the candidates who really are looking out for their best interests: Namely, conservatives. The overwhelming victims of urban crime are African-Americans, the overwhelming victims of anti-business government policies are, arguably, African-Americans who can neither find work nor start businesses in their communities because of failed liberal policies.

      When African-Americans finally figure out that the progressives see them as just more stupid people to be manipulated for progressive gains, they will finally start to free themselves from the second slavery that was forced upon them by political opportunists.

      I dont believe it’s all racism though some of it may be. If you were black and one of your own was the first black president who would you support?
      What is bothersome is they have chosen color over ill-policies that will hurt everyone straight across the board. Socialism knows no color just class, have and have-not.
      The left has played the racism card so much it has lost it’s meaning and effectiveness. I am not politically correct and I don’t care what they call me. I don’t care about his color, only his bad polocies.

      This is something I am very passionate about. Call it what you will, give it any excuse to be explained away or spinned into a neater package, but at the end of the day if a white person or group did the same thing the elitists and the vast majority of the population would call them racist! Now I’m not saying all blacks are racist far from it. However the ones siding with Obama to see him do well scrictly based on he is “one of us” would not fly with whites. If I said I want a white guy to win over a black one because he is “one of us” I would never live it down. We as a country are walking a very dangerous path concerning equal treatment, but it is beginning to shift. As an example the court case concerning the voter intimidation which a judge just denied based on the fact that “whites” were not guaranteed the same protection as blacks concerning this issue and there is no real outrage. I am totally disgusted because everyone purple, blue or white should be considered “ONE OF US.” We are all God’s children!

      We face a blatant double standard when it comes to race in America… Forty years and trillions of dollars later, it’s still not enough. I don‘t think it’ll ever be enough. I think it’s time to ban affirmative action, quotas and special privileges for certain races. Expect “minorities” to continue playing the old race card until European Americans, or whites, become a minority; and this is happening faster than you think… Social justice is corrupt and unfair. Equal justice should be the name of the game.

      i absolutely believe that Obama’s black supporters are racist. I have had so many black people tell me that they voted for him and still support him solely because he is black. Many whites voted for him out of white guilt, due the pressure of the liberal power that they are racist otherwise. This is a huge double standard! How many years now have we experienced double standards? The answer is too many. The indoctrinate the youth with believes such as; “white people are the enemy, and white males are the worst. Whites are the cause of all the world’s problems.” They teach this stuff in college and any social science class you enter. I know that if whites did the same we would be shot out of the sky for being racist. this is the kind of stuff that must come to an end in America. Let us all take a real look at history everyone: At one time or another, All races have been enslaved by someone in some culture. It doesn’t make it right, it just makes it true. Egyptians, Persians, and Babylonians were the first known slave masters… hey hey check it out everyone..it wasnt white people!!!
