He has naive views about race. He has both black and white in him but he ignores the white parts. “Racism”, he said, “we are not cured of it. (Really? What evidence is there for his statement? None. Americans aren’t racist towards blacks. Look at all of the welfare and Affirmative Action laws that were passed to appease black people. It’s not even possible to discriminate against black people in employment because it’s against the law. Just what is Obama thinking about?
He continued: “And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say nigger in public. That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not,” Obama told comedian Marc Maron, who interviewed the president for his popular podcast on Friday and released their conversation online on Monday.
Really? Just what evidence does Obama provide to verify his idea? OK, so white people don’t use the same crude language to describe black’s as the President does but what is it that Obama is talking about? How can he make the charge without providing the evidence?
Here’s the dilemma for the President. He’s convinced himself that white people are racist but he can’t explain why he thinks that. As they say, no harm no foul. He’s actually proving he has no case against white people in general or white individuals in particular. It’s not that there’s some racism against black people. He has no evidence because there is none unless some trivial statistics are whipped into a false generalization about white people.
In fact, American white people have so severely eliminated racist behavior and attitudes towards black people that we elected a black man as President. He never expected it. It should have changed his attitude towards white people but it didn’t. Now he’s making up situations that don’t exist to try to prove he’s not only a victim of white racism against black people he’s trying to prove an even bigger false claim. It proves appeasement doesn’t work.
The facts show that either white people don’t discriminate against black people or that white people just don’t have the occasions to interact with them. The correct term to use when talking about how white people think about black people is they don’t. Most white Americans have nothing to do with black people. In most cases they never get to Washington DC. They never get the chance to meet the President so they have zero interaction with the man. Maybe that’s the root of Obama’s race dilemma. He’s being ignored or insufficiently adored.
Obama continued: “It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination. Societies don’t, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior.”
“The legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives,” he continued, “that casts a long shadow and that’s still part of our DNA that’s passed on.”
Wrong again. If Obama can get himself back 200 or 300 years ago he would be in the arid red earth hills of his fatherland; Kenya. If most white people can do the same they would be in Europe.
Here’s another problem for the President. Most white American people today have no connection with slavery yet slavery is central to Obama’s false premise. Slavery and Jim Crow. Lets look first at the seven states of the Confederacy. South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. Four additional slave-holding states—Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina also joined. On the other side were the 25 non-slave states. In addition the number of white people killed in the Civil war was 620,000. More Americans died in the civil war than died in World War two, 405,000. Since Obama want’s to revisit 200 and 300 years ago why doesn’t he talk about the un-payable debt Black America owes to the white race. He should be ashamed of himself for blaming white people for mistreating black people. Where is his gratitude?
Asked later on Monday if the president regretted using the slur, White House press secretary Josh Earnest simply said: “He does not.” Obama is a stubborn man but facts are stubborn things too. He needs to apologize to every white person in America.
