When Are People Going To Snap Out Of It??
‘Right-wing white brothers’ may ‘attempt to kill’ Obama
President’s extremist pal calls for protection, rips America in ‘decline’
Speaking at a televised roundtable alongside Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan, a personal friend and recent adviser to President Obama decried “right-wing white brothers” who are attacking Obama and who “could even attempt to kill him.”
Cornel West, an extremist race-relations instructor at Princeton, was speaking last Saturday at the “We Count! The Black Agenda is the American Agenda” conference in Chicago organized by talk show host Tavis Smiley. The event was broadcast on CSPAN.
Ya gotta love that sub-title. If this fool wants to know why the nation is in decline, he has to look no farther than his own mirror. HE is one of the main reasons we are sinking fast. Socialism taking over what was once a free nation, and race baiting bigots!
I have no doubt there are a few people left in the country who really do hate on the basis of a person’s skin color, or their religion, or even the make and model of their car. Thankfully, there aren’t that many. Well, unless you look at guys like this. Promoting hatred of people because they happen to be white, making such accusations based on the color of their skin. And C-SPAN broadcast this crap, eh? I notice they weren’t in Searchlight, NV, broadcasting about 10,000 people who are NOT race baiting bigots!
West made similar remarks when he introduced Obama on stage at a 2007 Harlem fundraiser attended by about 1,500 people that served as Obama’s first foray into Harlem after announcing his Democratic presidential candidacy.
At the time, Obama took the stage calling West a “genius.”
“A man is known by the company he keeps.” Obama sure does keep some interesting company, doesn’t he.
Farrakhan claimed white people voted for Obama in 2008 because the politician “don’t (sic) speak with a Negro dialect. A light skinned Negro that is non-threatening to white people because they can see themselves in him because he is part them and part us.”
Considering I voted for Alan Keyes in the 1996 primary, and he’s not exactly “a light skinned Negro”, I’d have to say Farrakhan is one of the biggest assjacks! Anyone else getting tired of this kind of rhetoric? It’s not the color, it’s the content! Yeah, a lot of people voted for Obama BECAUSE of the color of his skin. That ‘white guilt’ sure did send us down a path we may never recover from, didn’t it.
Other black leaders at last week’s roundtable included Rev. Jesse Jackson and executive Tom Burrell. Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s senior adviser, was invited but did not attend, as did Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., Rev. Al Sharpton, and Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif.
More race baiting bigots. You know, I’ve never had a racist bone in my body. I was taught that all people are “created equal”. That ‘you can’t judge a book by it’s cover’. And I took Martin Luther King’s words very seriously. Isn’t it a shame that these so called “leaders” didn’t learn the same lessons? Thanks to people like this, I am learning not to be so open with people, of all colors. Thanks a lot. Really appreciate it!
An FYI! I don’t wish any harm on Obama, or anyone in his administration. I just want them all to go back to wherever they came from so the grown ups can get back to the business of restoring our Constitutional Republic.
AMEN!!! Well said my dear, I agree with everything you’ve said here!!
One wonders how long it will take for some of those (White Supremacist) bigots to try an assassination?? Ha!
Like you, I do not wish any harm to come to our dear Pres. Obumer, but as you say, we need some grownups who know what the heck they are doing!
The most unfortunate thing about all this is that it doesn’t matter who is in that office, he or she would simply be a puppet to the one’s who are really running this (free) country of ours right into the ground. Big Pharma, The Fed, Big bankers, and the Big Corporations such as the one’s who received all those bailout funds!!!
We are being cheated, lied to, and used. Certainly NOT listened to. It is my intention to vote for anyone who is NOT Republican nor Democrat! It is obvious to me that a great many in both parties have been corrupted by power and greed!
I Love Ur Blog! You Go Girl!
I appreciate ya stoppin’ by. And thanks.
There is a huge circle we have got to stop, in order to return to a Republic. You just named a few. LOL
All I needed to see in this article was “Speaking at a televised roundtable alongside Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan….”
I stopped there. Farrakhan is one the biggest promoters of racial division and HATRED toward white people this country has ever seen. Hes a racist and a loud asshole. Id like to put him and Rev. Wright and Sharpton all in a small, leaky boat headed to China. Hopefully it would sink.
This country will never have racial healing and equality with them around.
