Uprooting the New Racism
Patrick J. Buchanan

Quote:

In his Philadelphia address on race, Sen. Obama identified as a root cause of white resentment affirmative action -- the punishing of white working- and middle-class folks for sins they did not commit:

"Most working- and middle-class white Americans don't feel that they have been particularly privileged by their race," said Barack. "As far as they're concerned, no one's handed them anything. ... So when they ... hear that an African American is getting an advantage in landing a good job or a spot in a good college because of an injustice that they themselves never committed ... resentment builds over time."

On this issue, Barack seemed to have nailed it.

I like that he is addressing some of these issues. But I feel he is so detached from reality that he will make no differance.

In my neighborhood, one thing whites and blacks CAN agree on. WE do not have a "national" problem. But the clowns that come in from out of state (to help us), certianly do have problems.

Being from the ONLY state in the Union that still displays the stars and bars in it's flag. I can openly state I am very proud of the people in my small town.

Whites have publicly and openly confronted the Klan. Blacks have openly and publicly confronted the NAACP.

We have problems, names get called (some very racial). But at the end of the day. We are STILL a community that supports each other. We don't need a politician to "help' us get over our problems.

Well maybe a couple to address these dumbazz laws we have in this country.

Obviously you hadn't read the whole article. It isn't as cut-n-dried as Obama would like us to believe...

Yes I have, this and more.

But the mainsteam believers only see the "feel good" parts. And believe he is the new mesiah.

I believe he is part of the REAL problem. Other people meddling in other peoples lives for monetary gain. Like the NAACP and the Klan.

Our Government shares the same values as the above named organizations. "Keep them fighting, while we rob them blind"

As long as you keep the people divided on BS issues. They will fail to act on the real issues.

I just hope that all the racial commentary doesn't result in the problems we've seen in the past with race riots.

There are still too many blind followers that will start shooting or throwing bricks when Obama is defeated in the Presidential Election.

I'm afraid it won't take too many cries of "Racism" to spark a blaze.

I really don't see that happening on a large scale. sure there will be a few problems, if he gets the nomination, then loses the election.

But, you are not giving "select" groups within the US the benefit of the doubt, and their education.

ANYONE with a high school education (with some exceptions) will know that 15% is not a majority. Obama will have to carry a large number of the white and Hispanic vote to defeat McCain.

My concern along this line of thinking. What if he wins the nomination of the party? And the Clintons figure a way to take it from him.

Then we will have problems. It won't just be racial issues either. Although it could boil into just that.

While I'm an independant. I feel Obama deserves the nomination, at this point. But the Clintons, are up to no good IMO.

What will cause a REAL problem is if Obama has the majority of the "Popular Votes" but Hillary steals it with the "Super Delegates".

She ain't going down without a fight.

There has been talk about her trashing Obama so much they concede this election to McCain, only to be ready for 2012. Like it's hers to concede.

After all, four years and most of the problems of today will be history.

I don't know for sure Danc.....but it sure doesn't take much of a spark for Watts and other such "Garden Spots" in our country to go up in flames.....again.
