We Must Be Racist, Fidel Castro Says So!

It must be comforting for some liberals that they are in tune with one of the great thug-dictators of all time. Keep thinking it's racism when Obie loses*; perpetuate the myth of racism and you nourish the blind stupidity that defines so many Obama supporters.

Castro: Racism in US keeps many away from Obama
HAVANA (AP) - Fidel Castro says a "profound racism" in the United States will stop millions from voting for Barack Obama in next month's presidential election.

Also See the Debra J. Saunders commentary titled "Playing the Race Card". She explains quite effectively how the "race card" is being employed now. Here's some quotes:

The race card is back. After Tuesday night's debate, Washington party-crossover dean David Gergen announced it was "too early" to declare victory for Democrat Barack Obama, not because the election is a month away, but because "Obama is black."....her (Palin's reference to the Obama/Ayers association) attack was unsubstantiated and carried a racially tinged subtext that John McCain himself may come to regret."....I don't think Obama and Ayers were pals so much as co-believers of a trendy left-leaning and standards-hostile philosophy on education...And, Ayers is white. So it's hard to figure out how the AP writer construed Palin's remarks as "racially tinged," unless you see race in absolutely everything....According to a Time poll, 43 percent of white men and 48 percent of white women say they will vote for Obama, while 97 percent of black voters support Obama....there is something incongruous in examining the racism in a group that plans on voting more than 40 percent for a candidate of a different color, while ignoring a bloc expected to vote within its color lines almost exclusively....the American voter has demonstrated a conservative streak when it comes to the country's commander in chief. The American electorate has not bestowed more than 50 percent of the popular vote on the Democratic nominee since 1976 when Jimmy Carter won the White House for one term.
*Did you catch James Carville's remark the other day: "if Obama is ahead by 5 points on E day and loses; it's gonna be traumatic" Was he talking riots here?

Obama and Reparations: Apologies Not Enough?

The U.S. House of Representatives has issued a formal apology for slavery:

WASHINGTON: The House of Representatives issued an unprecedented apology to black Americans for the wrongs committed against them and their ancestors who suffered under slavery and segregation laws.... The House "apologizes to African-Americans on behalf of the people of the US, for the wrongs committed against them and their ancestors who suffered under slavery and Jim Crow." Source: Times of India

Such apologies are not unprecedented; six U.S. states have already formally apologized, most recently Florida. The other five are Maryland, North Carolina, Alabama, New Jersey, and Virginia.
Obama mentioned reparations the other day:
Obama said:

"I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it's Native Americans or African-American issues or reparations, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds." (emphasis added)

I wonder what he means by deeds?
The idea of reparations certainly reached its zenith when The African World Reparations and Truth Commission announced it was demanding $777 Trillion (that's trillion with a "T") from the West as reparation for the slave trade and colonialism.

Video commentator "Zo" aka "SuperSlave" has produced a series of excellent videos on contemporary racial politics. The video below makes specific reference to the notion of reparations for slavery and other ills foisted on African-Americans.

Excerpt:

As author Michael Scheurer so succinctly stated, the Democratic Party is the party of the four S’s: Slavery, Secession,Segregation, and now Socialism. Because the Republican Party was started in 1854 as the anti-slavery party, and Republicans fought for freedom and equality for blacks, the early civil rights leaders, including Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth, were Republicans.

Thank God for Father Mike...

The title's words are from Trinity United's new pastor Otis Moss who thanks Father Michael Pfleger for his stirring denunciation of, not only Hillary Clinton, but all white people. You find yourself laughing at the antics of this loony priest but you end up feeling sick at heart and stomach. One is no longer surprised at the hateful preaching emanating from the pulpit of Barack Obama's church. This is the complete video from Father Michael Pfleger's performance last Sunday at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
