Obama on Holder's racism comments: ordinary people don't think about that

[CaféAuLait]

The interview below Obama was asked about Holder's obvious implied racism against republicans. Obama was pretty cool in his response and said the TRUth of the matter is ALL presidents and attorney generals face criticism! It does not mean racism! thank you Obama!

The strange thing at the end of the interview he says "ordinary people don't think about the types of comments" Holder made at the National Action Network On Wednesday. Huh? Either way it was a very cool response to the question.

I can't recall what thread it was it but I wondered about your vacation and if you saw any Tasmanian devils or at least the sign I told you to look out for [MENTION=25283]Sallow[/MENTION]. Forgive me if I missed your reply.

Psssst. I hate your avatar, I have actually had a nightmare about it once... I've spent far too much time here since I've been getting better. lol

it's gracious to go around and call your fellow Americans who are Republican, the enemy, hostage takers, terrorist, and his graciousness just flows from the heavens above

that man doesn't have a gracious bone in his body, he's pure hateful and evil

I would have to agree there. I still appreciate his saying the opposite of what Holder did.

Campaigning Obama said, "There's not a black America, a White America, there's only one America." then as soon as he moved in the White House he started pounding the wedge of racism between blacks and whites.

Obama is EVIL Incarnate, the same EVIL ONE who tempted Jesus during his 40 day fast.

Social change comes in pendulumic waves; two steps forward, one step back, but sometimes it's the reverse.

For example -- Major League Baseball likes to make a big deal out of the idea that Jackie Robinson was the first black baseball player in the major leagues.
Except he wasn't (that would be Moses Walker, 1884).

Black ballplayers were not uncommon when pro baseball was organized in the 19th century. What Jackie Robinson represents is the first re-occurence of a black ballplayer after the unspeakable racist times around the early 20th century -- a time of despicable regression the history books don't like to talk about -- times that brought the genocide of the Tulsa riots, the Duluth lynching that became a linchpin of Bob Dylan's "Desolation Row" (and a ton of other lynchings), D.W. Griffith's racist film "Birth of a Nation" and the rebirth of a short-lived Civil War vigilante group called the Ku Klux Klan (both of the latter 1915). We don't like to talk about that period because it's so fucking nasty. So we pretend that Jackie Robinson is the 'first'. It obscures a major gap in time, and what happened during that gap.

Reform... backlash.... reform again... backlash again.

So gradually through the 1940s, '50s, '60s, strides toward the vision of equality we're supposedly built on are achieved; yet you still have racists sending hate letters to Hank Aaron threatening his life (1974) if he dares to break the record of the white Babe Ruth. Always the undercurrent.

Then a black man is elected President, and we get posts like this:

Campaigning Obama said, "There's not a black America, a White America, there's only one America." then as soon as he moved in the White House he started pounding the wedge of racism between blacks and whites.

Obama is EVIL Incarnate, the same EVIL ONE who tempted Jesus during his 40 day fast.

It's what Hank Aaron was talking about recently.

OMG! You people are hilarious. And sad. And scary.

Blacks live life to be angry and racist towards whites. Maybe they should think about ending that?

Well except no one ever threw a ball AND hit Robinson in the head. That scene is a lie. One that Robinson would be ashamed was in his story.

 

[whitehall]

I guess the radical left has the definition of graciousness and incompetence mixed up.
