DEMOCRATS WHO CRY 'RACIST!' - NO WHEN WILL LISTEN WHEN IT REALLY MATTERS (NY Post 8/9/09)
Permalink  
 


A caricature of Obama as Heath Ledger's garish, pasty-faced Joker from "The Dark Knight" is appearing on the Facebook pages of many an Obama critic these days. And, as is depressingly common, there are Democrats who cry "racist!"

The Washington Post devoted several hundred words on the topic: "[The] poster is ultimately a racially charged image. By using the 'urban' makeup of the Heath Ledger Joker, instead of the urbane makeup of the Jack Nicholson character, the poster connects Obama to something many of his detractors fear but can't openly discuss. He is black and he is identified with the inner city, a source of political instability in the 1960s and '70s, and a lingering bogeyman in political consciousness despite falling crime rates."

Say what?!

The mental contortions needed to make this link are flabbergasting. The point of the Joker cartoon is as obvious as can be: The president of the United States -- or his policies so far stated -- is a comic-book villain, stealing your money. You may not agree with that -- but to suggest that caricature is out of bounds undermines the ideals of free speech and political expression.

No, Obama's election did not make our nation colorblind. But Obama's defenders are doing their president and themselves a great wrong. For when real racial injustices surface, the country -- so numb to false outrage from Harvard professors and propaganda posters -- will shrug it off.

First of all the people who say that Obama is black and therefore connected to the innercity have not done a single peice of research on Obama.  To Obama and his rich black friends the innercity exists only for them to rob and pillage.  They are blood suckers and NOT members  of our community.  To put black and innercity together is racist and of course the White Liberals playing the race card don't care about that because after all they voted for the black man.

Honey if voting for or against a black man makes you racist or not racist race problems would have been solved a long time ago.  Just because you are a Republican or Conservative doesn't make you racist and just because your Liberal and a Democrat doesn't make you free of racism. 

I am sick of the race card being played inappropriately.

One of the most racist displays I ever saw was all those hollywood stars falling all over themselves for Obama. Let me tell you what...they didn't KNOW the man, they might have read HIS book but, never investigated his record. Those people gave the man a pass because he is black, think they are free of racism and sat up there and told YOU to give him a pass too or else YOU were racist. Well, if they really were so free of racism then they would have gone on ahead and held the man to the same standard as every other race and THEN made up their minds. They didn't do that and sat up there pretending to know a think what Dr. King meant and comparing Obama to Dr. King etc. Boy, it made me madder than a wet hen!!

Dr. King died saying "The content of their character and not the color of their skin" These damned fools must have been asleep or not caring at all what the truth is.

Then they think they have the right to "endorse" and tell others who to vote for. Further they went on many times to tell you that if you didn't vote for him YOU were uneducated. Well pardon me but, I don't consider Hollywood a good example of a place where all the elite have a higher education. B.S.!!! It's the most shallow industry on the face of this earth a lot of times!!

They were the one voting on race, that is what is racist and we dont' lift up ANYBODY with that kind of thinking!!

Obama managed to make the word racist meaningless. He is a crook, a liar, a socialist powerseeker, has no experience, lied to the public, forces his way, intimidates and bullies, threatens, and cheats. His skin color had absolutely nothing to do with that.

Hmmph.  As an African American woman I will never forget the media and Obama trying to paint Hillary and Bill as racists simply for saying fairytale, but let Obama call his grandma a typical white woman, and basically tell voters that if they don't vote for him it's only because they are scared cause he's black.    Before he disowned his pastor he did a race speech basically defending him while letting the media label the Clintons.  Obama's favorite phrase late in the general election to McCain became I know I don't  LOOK like other  presidents, I am not the type of president you see on money and he got a free pass.   I take this serious because racisim does happen and its serious but you better stop throwing the word out just cause it easy when racisim is not the case at all.

Who is going to pay the price for all this racist talk its going to be African Americans who pay for it when real issues of racism occurs people are going to ignore this.
I do not like Obama today because of the fact that he played the race card on Bill Clinton.

You are quite right.  I really dislike what he did to the Clintons of all people to try and label racists.  Obama should have thoughtIt will be a long time before any black person who says they were  mistreated by the cops because they are black will be taken seriously.

Agreed. If you ask me, constant playing of the race card discredits people who have actually experienced racism and have gone through a hell of a lot just for a bunch of idiots to flippantly throw around accusations and words without substance. It is wrong and insulting.
