Yep. I'm sick and tired of folks on the left crying 'racism' whenever someone voices their disagreement and concern over what Obama
is doing. What part of 'the government is too ******* big and we want it smaller' do people equate to 'it's because he is black'?
That won't end any time soon as Obama was elected in to office without:
Any vetting process
Any achievements as a Senator
He was and is never challenged.
The MSM has been in the tank for him since day 1. They put him in the presidency and to have him fail would mean that they were wrong.
The racism issue is just a way to shut down debate which is why the left is using it in response to the Tea Party movement. The majority that throw that word around could not give you the definition of it. The word has been used so often in the last 18 months, it has no relevance any more. IMO that is going to be the death of the Dems in November.
The problem is tossing around the word "racism" and "racist" as loosely as has been occurring makes the words lose all meaning. I grew up in an era where very real racism existed and it was openly accepted as the norm. There was nothing considered wrong with it and nothing considered to be wrong if businesses refused to hire blacks OR serve them as customers. It was a time when blacks were openly denigrated, openly discriminated against, openly harassed and beaten by the police -and when people black or white who objected to the norm were physically hurt and even killed. In spite of the left constantly trying to re-write history, it was Democrats who opposed civil rights legislation. NOT Republicans who were nearly uniformly in support. It is the reason Democrats constantly demand to re-write history and today INSIST the Republican Party owns their own filthy history and that they own that of the Republican Party instead. But Democrats own their own filthy history and always will. No amount of pretense will replace the truth with the fantasy that the Democrat Party miraculously gave up its deeply ingrained racism and adopted the founding principles of the Republican Party AT THE VERY SAME TIME the Republican Party totally abandoned every one of their founding principles so they could adopt the filthy Democrat principles -principles the Republican Party had been formed to FIGHT in the first place! No amount of re-writes can erase the fact that it was Democrats who were the slave owners, Democrats who lynched blacks, Democrats who formed and joined the KKK, Democrats who killed the civil rights workers in MS, Democrats who formed the segregationist Dixiecrat Party and it was Democrats who warmly welcomed them all back when it collapsed. It was Democrats who stood in the doorways trying to prevent black children from attending white public schools and it was a Democrat governor who tried to block blacks from entering a state university. It was NOT Republicans. You'd never know that fact from listening to Democrats. According to Democrats the only reason conservatives are conservatives is because they long for the days when stringing up a black person from a sturdy branch of a tree and sticking a cross in the front yard of a black person and setting it on fire passed for fun. Oh wait....again, it was Democrats who did that. And not all that long ago either.
Today the word "racist" has been tossed around so loosely it means nothing more than disagreeing with a black person -which some Democrats seem to think really does amount to a crime (if you aren't a Democrat of course). It is thrown around for the specific purpose of trying to silence dissent and pressure others to not speak out. If you can label your opponent with a word that carries a strong negative connotation -it is an effective means of silencing their MESSAGE entirely -and it is NOT necessary for it to be true. Another Saul Alinski gem -left wing extremist radical strongly admired by the left who have taken his advice to heart in so many ways. It is fast losing any real meaning because it is so often used in situations where it didn't apply -and most importantly, everyone KNOWS IT. If I disagree with Obama's left wing extremist policies, I can only be doing so because I am a RACIST! It is hard to take these people seriously considering the fact this is THE most left wing extremist President in my lifetime. I am a CONSERVATIVE. I didn't vote for the man because of his POLITICS, not because of his skin color. I didn't even need to THINK about his skin color because his politics already ruled him OUT as a viable candidate for me and will the next time around as well. Changing his skin color would NEVER have changed my vote because I have NEVER cast a vote based on something as superficial and irrelevant as SKIN COLOR in the first place! The notion that if Obama were only white we would all be socialist, left wing extremist loving nutjobs slavishly applauding the abandonment of our VERY founding principles is ludicrous. Have I ever cut Gore any slack because he's white? LOL
The real racists are the same ones they have always been. Democrats. They live and breathe racism and no one spends as much time dwelling on skin color like Democrats do. It is a NONSTOP topic for them -they OBSESS about it. They have never changed their racist beliefs at heart -they have merely dressed them up in the form of paternal racism. A deadly, soul-killing racism that is no less destructive and harmful to blacks and I think actually did more to destroy the black family than slavery did. How many generations of blacks have Democrats told they can't possibly expect to be able to compete against whites, they haven't a chance of succeeding in this country against whites with the hidden and implied message that it is really because they just aren't as good or as smart as whites. And they will never get ahead unless some of those "superior" whites give them hand-outs, change the rules, tell everyone else to stop expecting the same kind of performance as a white and insisting it means we must all lower expectations for anyone with a black skin as opposed to a white one. It only proves how insidious this message really is and how it can become adopted by an entire race led to believe in their "inherent" inferiority. Democrats managed to hide their blatant racism with paternalistic racism for the specific purpose of keeping blacks on their plantation in spite of emancipation. It is why no other race votes as a BLOC and most importantly, why Democrats never demand that any other race BUT blacks vote as a bloc. Otherwise any who think for themselves and reject the soul killing paternalistic racism of Democrats can expect the most vicious treatment allowed by law.
Democrats substituted one form of racism for another and pat themselves on the back for their "enlightened ways" -and insist that the fact the Republican Party refused to adopt even their paternalistic racism and continue to reject their racism which Democrats never abandoned -as proof Republicans suddenly become the real "racists".
One thing that has been and will always be true is that Democrats are the most guilty of accusing everyone else of their own worst sins. Probably because looking in the mirror would be just too traumatic for them.
