"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."
"There's a pattern emerging here." -Hillary Clinton
This perfectly straightforward detailing of the demographic facts of this election by Hillary Clinton is being declared "racist" by the, lunatic staff and supporters of the "post racial" Obamassiah. The Obie who can talk about race all day long, who wants to "dialogue" about it....but if anyone else actually does, hits them with the "racist" hammer in the back of the head.
Please also notice that the further, if subtle implication is that these "hard-working...white Americans" are racist for preferring Hillary to Obie.
Now, have you heard a single word from the drive-by media about the overwhelmingly racial bias indicated by nearly 100% of blacks voting for Obie?The bald numbers are bandied about by the talking heads merely as a "statistic". Not a single implication is made that it might be disappointingly based on race after all, even while we are all celebrating the idea of the end of racism suggested by the very real possibility of a Black president.
Yet, at the same time, the simple "statistics" showing that white hard-working Americans voting for Hillary is ....get ready...RACIST—not only the fact of it...but the very observation and mention of it....is RACIST. In other words, for Hillary to say that Whites prefer her is, in itself, a racist statement. Might as well just burn a cross and be done with it.
Surely I'm not the only one that feels like I'm living in the rhetorical world of Animal Farm. Things mean whatever we say they mean...from one sentence to another...from one moment to another...from one mouth to another.
Frankly, I am deeply offended by the obvious racial bias demonstrated by the majority of the Blacks in this country, who are voting for Obie because he's Black. Let's not even pretend otherwise, shall we?
I find it offensive that none of the talking heads seems prepared to mention that tiny little factoid of true, obvious and material racial bigotry: voting according to the color of one's skin...not the content of his suit...er... character.
Do Liberal talking heads and Black democrats not get that this sort of thing is really starting to piss us off? Do they not get that there is a limit to just how much shit they can dump on our heads before we take exception?
Well, I suppose we've taught them that no matter what they do, we'll always apologize. It's certainly been true up to now. But it's a bad lesson. Because we're lying to them. One day we'll have had enough. And the reaction is bound to surprise, confuse and upset them...accustomed as they are to bullying everyone in the school-yard.
When the abused rebel, consequences can be extreme.
The very worst part is that most of us started out racially neutral; non-racist; even rather supportive of Affirmative Action, which we understood to be 'fairness'. But it's the constant drumbeat of "Racism" from Blacks and more recently Mexicans that has taught me a much more highly developed sense of my race, and led me to more strongly identify with it.
My Whiteness is an issue for me today. I never thought or cared much about it before. Today I'm proud of my race and my racial heritage. Today I'm highly aware of the race of everyone I meet. And I fully expect them to be racially aware and identified too. Brown.
Wow...thanks Liberals! This is a REAL progress toward peace and Universal Brotherhood
You must be so proud.

Wrote longer response to blog than was the blog,which meant I should get my own blog,i guess.Upshot,you are right,of course-in Demspeak,there is okay racism (Whitey is the source of all Evil in the world),and not-okay racism (Hey,Africa's been independent for 50 years or so,and it's worse than ever,could it be tribalism?).It has to do with which cultures are more conducive to individual freedom,backed up with respect for property and liberty.This is why machetes abound in African trouble-spots.I can't imagine the asshole-ness it takes to kill another human just because they're from another tribe,but hey-I'm just a Modern guy,not a throwback.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with your account of innate intelligence, Gunslinger. When I was a kid, I remember that Japan had a reputation for producing cheap, copied, low-quality goods. The reason for this, it was explained, was that Japanese were inherently inferior, intellectually.
ReplyDeleteThen when they started producing some pretty good, advanced technology, that description of their inferior intellect disappeared. I doubt that their genes changed that quickly. It's just that when a group of people doesn't do well economically, some others will always chalk it up to inherent intellectual weakness.
I think the problem is mostly cultural. Lots of Jews do well in business because education is extremely important culturally. I see the same attitude among Indians and Chinese in the US.
I always thought that, on average, education seemed less important among my non-Jewish classmates than it was to Jews. I sense that on average, it's even less important among blacks in the US. And that's the problem. Culturally, it's not cool (or whatever the current term is) to be smart and conform to common norms. It's more cool to be a gangsta and wear your pants down around your knees.
I'm still voting for Obama, though.
I've been to sub-Saharan Africa several times. They're not dumb. They spending all their time just trying to survive, and don't have the time or resources to devote to things like education and political reform.
Hi Flanders, welcome!
ReplyDeleteI think failure to recognize that character counts reflects a lack of intelligence. Whether in Blacks or Whites.
I never said all Whites are smart, God forbid, we have plenty of morons on our end of the color spectrum.
I do say, however, that a lack of intelligence lends itself to the inability to distinguish between what feels good, and what IS good.
Character takes brains because it is contra-instinctual. I believe both Blacks and Whites have character...if they're smart enough. But both Blacks and Whites don't if they aren't.
There are, unfortunately more Blacks with lower IQ's than Whites, so the burden of their lack of foresight falls more heavily on their community with the results we see every day.
And the results we see are not among the Black middle-class, or the highest achievers. They are among the dregs left behind. Which was one of the unforeseen tragedies of integration. The prosperous, smart, successful Blacks who kept the community functioning when they were forced to be there by segregation, were able to migrate to their natural level among the greater society.
The ghettos are filled with those left behind, without the wherewithal to escape. Our inner-cities and the aftermath of Katrina are the sad testament to their inability to organize themselves in productive and life-affirming ways.
I'd say you're describing the effects of low IQ, not an alternative cause of failure.
And I do agree...we need to get control of this situation, and make the cure appropriate to the disease.
And until we can honestly diagnose the problem, we sure can't fix it.
Can't add anything to your brilliant response,but...Think you mean the Ashkenazi Jews (what an irony!).Infrastructure is SO important.I think it was Sowell or Paul Johnson who opined that India's relatively smooth transition from Brit Empire possession to independence was mostly due to the great bureaucratic training the Brits had done with the Indian clerical class.This,as opposed to mid-twentieth century whole-hog,chaotic Lolapolooza thing that happened in Africa.Same in this country with DC,Detroit,etc.-upshot of it is that power was handed over to demogoque/cleptomaniacal/incompetent race hustlers who stole and grafted from their own "people" while pulling the old magician's trick of diverting their audience's attention ("It's not me,it's the White Man's fault!").It's such a tired hustle.These guys need to come up with a new game plan-here's a suggestion:Do like other groups,and stress BrainPower,not BlingBling.
