Family of Freedom: Presidents and African Americans in the White House (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594518335?ie=UTF8&tag=libert0f-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1594518335)



...But Obama, in his most candid moments, acknowledged that race was still a problem. In May 2010, he told guests at a private White House dinner that race was probably a key component in the rising opposition to his presidency from conservatives, especially right-wing activists in the anti-incumbent "Tea Party" movement that was then surging across the country. Many middle-class and working-class whites felt aggrieved and resentful that the federal government was helping other groups, including bankers, automakers, irresponsible people who had defaulted on their mortgages, and the poor, but wasn't helping them nearly enough, he said.

A guest suggested that when Tea Party activists said they wanted to "take back" their country, their real motivation was to stir up anger and anxiety at having a black president, and Obama didn't dispute the idea. He agreed that there was a "subterranean agenda" in the anti-Obama movement-a racially biased one-that was unfortunate. But he sadly conceded that there was little he could do about it.

The most important question is - who were those "guests"?

[BlackTerrel]

If you think race isn't a factor in at least some of the opposition to Obama you're lying to yourself.

If I were to judge by the comments on article on Yahoo it's close to 90%. But more realistically it's probably around 10-15%.

[silverhandorder]

The problem I see is that black Americans get more racism when they support the right over the left. This needs to be exposed that the racism in liberal eyes is only unacceptable from the right.

Well you can say the same thing about those who support Obama because of his race tbh. every group or faction has people like that

[BlackTerrel]

Fine. But why are you worked up over Obama saying some of the opposition to him is because of his race? He's stating the obvious.

[KurtBoyer25L]

If you're a racist against blacks you should support Obama, for his financial and drug policies.

[MN Patriot]

Many middle-class and working-class whites felt aggrieved and resentful that the federal government was helping other groups, including bankers, automakers, irresponsible people who had defaulted on their mortgages, and the poor, but wasn't helping them nearly enough, he said.


Typical liberal, they think government is supposed to help us. They just can't comprehend the idea that we DON'T want government to help us. We want government to leave us alone. Quit stealing the money we earn. Quit exploiting us. Quit taking our money and giving it to everyone else.

[JohnEngland]

Bastard. However, I see an interesting consequence forming from the government and media repeating lying about the Tea Party and calling them racist (remember, the whole racist narrative was constructed from the very beginning) - and it is this:

With all the insults and false accusations, I see an instinctive reaction by many Tea Party members to show that they're not racist (not that they need to prove their innocence) by supporting Hermain Cain in the election. We've already seen signs of the potential Tea Party support he'd get come primaries time.

By supporting Cain in the election, the Tea Party couldn't possibly be called racist and the entire system on lies about them will be shown to be utter rubbish.

The downside to this, of course, is that by supporting a candidate who is vague on the issues at best, it is likely that another candidate with a much better record will be sidelined.

[nobody's_hero]

The problem I see is that black Americans get more racism when they support the right over the left. This needs to be exposed that the racism in liberal eyes is only unacceptable from the right.

That's true.

Most of the time, it is as if the democrats have in their minds that black people have a certain assignment of where in society they are supposed to be (poor, needy, lives in public housing, and of course, vote democrat because democrats give away all the 'free' support), and when they break out of their box, they act like they have 'betrayed their blackness' or some nonsense-thinking.

On the contrary, conservatives tend to gain respect for black people when they break out of that box. (Herman Cain, Michael Steele)

[Southron]

A key component eh. He is gearing up for 2012. First time around he didn't need to play the race card, but I'm fully expecting this for his re-election.

[madfoot]

That's a dodge. You can't deny plays a subtle but important role in mobilizing the post-FOX Tea Party.

[pahs1994]

how is it a dodge? i stated that nomatter what group you are in, it is inevitable that there will be some people that base their views off of some sort or prejudice.
All i said is, by using the same logic of people who claim many things about the tea party, i can state that his election was mobilized by racism with 96% of blacks voting for Obama.

The funny thing about the tea party is the lefty media was trying so hard the last few years to nail them with some sort of video of the events being racists and all they got out of it was a guy in a crowd standing near a black congressmean who "claimed" he spit on him and some dude that turned out to be a liberal plant acting wacky at a rand paul event. On the other hand the union socialists have been out on the streets for a month in wisconsin and there is a wealth of youtube videos of these people being ultra bigots. Now does that mean that all union folks are bigots? No, but i find it odd that this is not being reported about more because if these were tea party people they would be nailed to the cross by now.

[payme_rick]

A key factor? I'd say no, but it is a factor... My own number was somewhere from 5-10% jumped on the TP-wagon because the prez became black overnight...

The biggest factor IMO, I'd say 50-60%, is the anti-democrat factor... So yah, around 30-45% genuine TP'rs IMO... And I'd take the low end...

[Acala]

If you think race isn't a factor in at least some of the opposition to Obama you're lying to yourself.

If I were to judge by the comments on article on Yahoo it's close to 90%. But more realistically it's probably around 10-15%.

Opposition to Obama? Yup. Opposition to big government that is the true heart of the Tea Party? Very little. In the Ron Paul movement? Next to none.

[Zippyjuan]

He did not say that the Tea Party itself was racist but that there were some members who were.

A bigger exerpt from the book:

His goal, he said, was to be as effective and empathetic a president as possible for all Americans. If he could accomplish that, it would advance racial progress for blacks more than anything else he could do.

The prevalent opinion is that THE GOVERNMENT SHOULDN'T BE "HELPING" ANYONE.

And 90% of blacks voted for Clinton. So yeah - maybe somewhere in the 5-10% range of blacks who voted for Obama based on race. Just like the the 5-10% of opposition to Obama due to his race. To deny this is to deny the obvious.

90% blacks voted for barry versus 10% for Hillary. Primaries were all race based for blacks and there is nothing wrong with it. .

[BlackTerrel]

90% blacks voted for barry versus 10% for Hillary. Primaries were all race based for blacks and there is nothing wrong with it. Tribalism is natural, just as you care more for your mom and dad more than your office worker. In tribalism, you care more for your extended racial family more than other races.

Whites are more fractured and disorganized. They are already in the minority (less than 10% globally), not sure if whites will organize before they get exterminated.

You're right whites having sex with non-whites is the equivalent of a whole group of people being exterminated :cool:

Ok "Sanjay".

[Adolfo Mena Gonzalez]

You're right whites having sex with non-whites is the equivalent of a whole group of people being exterminated :cool:

I guess the proper word is eliminated. But I don't think race mixing on a large scale will occur, ever. Whites statistically don't find non whites on the aggregate attractive and won't date them. Whites will breed themselves out of majority status to probably like 20% with declining birthrates and non whites will continue to breed in gobs, than America will be as awesome as LA, Baltimore or Detroit.

Nope. The proper word is "who gives a shit"

I am sure your girlfriend is much hotter than Beyonce. Good for you.

Well, I kind of do, I like White people, as I am a white person, and would like to see white people to continue to exist, rather than our connection to the past be broken, and our history to be thrown to the side and forgotten.

Well, I don't have a girlfriend, but my prior girlfriends in my opinion are better looking. And the fact is, most black women don't look like beyonce, and while they're may be a few black women, not most, who are more attractive to the overall white population, their aren't many, and statistics show overwhelmingly that whites date and marry inside their race. And overall attractiveness generally isn't the only part of the equation when choosing a partner, whether you are gay or straight, pretty much across sexual preference, people also look for personality compatibility, similar likes, intelligence levels, all to varying degrees. I would say if your point was true, that people only date or marry the most physically attractive individuals they know, than most people wouldn't be married right now, or dating. Because immediate physical attractiveness is not the most important thing in a relationship. Once you grow old with that person, and the physical attractiveness leaves, you are going to need social compatibility to base the relationship on. And the fact is, whites have more social compatibility with whites on the aggregate than with other races.

Well, I am not in the Tea Party, and would never associate myself with that anti-intellectual neo-con circle jerk, so you and Obama are wrong there. And I am not a racist, it is stupid to hate someone purely for their skin color. But I am a race realist, and think it is just as stupid to deny substantive differences biologically and socially between the races.

If you think race isn't a factor in at least some of the opposition to Obama you're lying to yourself.

It seems to be a very small factor. I live in WV, probably the "whitest" state in the union. When I was living in the south end of the state I attended a couple of the tea party meetings early on and not once did that term issue from the mouths of the people there, nor any other term, phrase, or other expression that even remotely hinted of this. We are talking about people who will call black people ******* in a heartbeat if they are so moved. There is NOTHING of PC bullshit in that portion of the state. And quite to the contrary, when the topic of race came up, everyone was saying they didn't give a damn about that, only that Obama was a scumbag. Many even said they would happily vote for a black man if he were decent and would do the right things. They were equally certain that Obama was not that man. Knowing what I know of those people, I am confident that race had little, if anything, to do with their positions.


If I were to judge by the comments on article on Yahoo it's close to 90%. But more realistically it's probably around 10-15%.

And what of it? So what if it is so? People are entitled to their feelings and to vote on any basis they want. You ma not like it. I may not. Tough shit on us. We are either free or we are not.

[osan]

The problem I see is that black Americans get more racism when they support the right over the left. This needs to be exposed that the racism in liberal eyes is only unacceptable from the right.

Boy isn't that the truth. Any time a black person rises above the rank mediocrity of his fellows and sets a higher example he is met with cheers from the white and calls of "Uncle Tom" and "house ******" from his own. I am sorry to say, but in so many cases these folks are their own worst enemies. It is sickening to behold.

[osan]

Fine. But why are you worked up over Obama saying some of the opposition to him is because of his race? He's stating the obvious.

I don't see anyone getting worked up. That said, he is painting deceptive pictures my bending truth. That alone is enough to want to put my foot in his ass so he flies like a hail mary pass out the front door of the White House.

[osan]

By supporting Cain in the election, the Tea Party couldn't possibly be called racist and the entire system on lies about them will be shown to be utter rubbish.

Sure they can. And they will. Your statement presupposes that the media and others operate based on honest reason. This is anything but true. They will find some way to twist this into a racist agenda. They will call Cain a house ******, a dupe of the racist crackers, bought and paid for like his chattel forebears. They will note a new mental disease or disorder or syndrome, stating that these racists are unable to face their own evil and therefore have to prove to themselves and the world they are not racist by supporting a house ****** for president.

Don't fool yourself; the likes of tea partiers will never win in the media because the media do not report on facts anymore. Virtually everything political is editorialized. Opinions, being like assholes, are a dime a dozen and nobody is held accountable for what they say anymore. The media will continue their editorial campaigns of assassination on the tea party even if the day comes that all the white people run, screaming from the ranks only to be replaced by 10 million black faces. Those will also be racists - traitorous, self-hating house *******. The aim of the bought and paid for MSM here is the annihilation of the Tea Party as anything better than the object of universal derision and hate. They will not stop until the mission is accomplished.

Pinning any hopes for "redemption" in the eyes of certain parties under any circumstance is hopelessly naive. These are the enemies of everything we hold dear.

Your boys who will call black people the n word at the drop of a hat I don't trust to be objective in judging a black man. Even when they claim race has nothing to do with their feelings their actions speak otherwise.


And what of it? So what if it is so? People are entitled to their feelings and to vote on any basis they want. You ma not like it. I may not. Tough shit on us. We are either free or we are not.

And Obama is entitled to his opinion that race plays a role in some of the dislike for him - he's right by the way.


I don't see anyone getting worked up. That said, he is painting deceptive pictures my bending truth. That alone is enough to want to put my foot in his ass so he flies like a hail mary pass out the front door of the White House.

You actually sound like you are getting worked up...
