Obama's 1995 racial slur:

"I think that whether you are a white executive living out in the suburbs, who doesn't want to pay taxes to inner-city children for them to go to school...
Why does Obama state that only white executives don't want to pay double taxes for their own suburban school districts and Chicago's district, too? Where does Obama present any proof whatsoever that all executives of any other race in the suburbs want pay double taxes to fund both their own suburban school district and Chicago's?

Obama singled out Whites in that statement because he's racist. He has a decades long history of being so.

The relationship between Obama and Reverend Wright was intensely covered by the MSM in the lead up to the 2008 election. So was the theology of his church and the texts of his most offensive sermons.

Unlike you, the American people are able to tell the difference between different black men, and decided that they did not care. Obama is not Wright.

They went on to elect Obama President... twice.

You need a new hobby. Your countrymen have formally told you to go pound sand.

Again, your inability to count higher than two forces you into the pathetic necessity of drawing idiotic false dichotomies that no thinking person can take with a straight face.

Nobody but a babbling cretin would imagine those are actually the only two options.

Just because housing discrimination is illegal doesn't mean it has gone away. There is still housing discrimination occurring today.

Dr. King's message clearly went beyond the impact of housing. Dr. King's concern was segregating society along racial or ethnic lines. The social disaster Dr. King was referring to was that once this segregation occurs it leads to both sides to viewing their issues as separate. Dr King believed that we are tied together and needed to solve the problems facing our society communally.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.

Obama statement is based on that same premise.

Everything you are saying about Obama statement could also be applied to Dr. King's statement. As an example why is that Dr. King only singled concern for white suburbs ringing the inner city? Wouldn't Dr. King also be concerned about Asian suburbs ringing the inner city or Hispanic suburbs ringing the inner city? After all even in the 1960s there were clusters of Asian and Hispanic communities outside the inner city. Shouldn't those forms of segregation along ethnic or racial lines also be a concern for Dr. King? Why then is it that Dr. King singled out white suburbs?

I know how sad it makes you feel to know that the majority of your fellow countrymen consider your beliefs regarding Obama to be puerile nonsense. I cannot help that.

I can only observe that anybody who genuinely believes that being elected to the most powerful position on the planet twice is "not much of an accomplishment" is so completely out of rational touch with objective reality as to warrant only deep sympathy.

No, it wasn't. Colluding deceitful JournoList member journalists shut it down with their 'call them racist' offensive after they became incensed that George Stepanopolous asked Obama about it ONCE. I already posted the JournoList quotes on that:
Quote:

Again, on the group forum, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his JournoList colleagues to detract attention from Obama’s relationship with racist Rev. Wright by deflecting the mainstream media with the 'call them racists' offensive. Ackerman wrote to the list: "who cares — and call them racists."

Michael Tomasky (The Guardian) also on the JournoList forum: "We need to throw chairs now, try as hard as we can to get the call next time. Otherwise the questions in October will be exactly like this."

There was an active collusion among several key members of the mainstream media to shut down any exposure of Obama's racism. It was exposed and is a matter of public record. How is it that you know nothing about it? Underinformed as usual, HD?

More on the JournoList mainstream media members' collusion and their agenda to hide facts from the public in order to steer public perception and dupe the public:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2010/07/23/journolist__the_liberal_mother_ship.html
Obama's 1995 racial slur against Whites in an interview is even more evidence of his decades-long background of racism.
Quote:

The uninformed and/or duped elected Obama twice. How's that working out for the country? The economy sucks, GDP had to revised 33% lower last year, treading dangerously close into slipping into another recession. Foreign policy is a disaster. Obama has a high job disapproval rating. Most Americans don't like Obamacare.

Which is it, HD? Do you condone racism? Or were you, too, duped by the JournoListers deceitful manipulation of the mainstream media?

Are you trying to claim that there were no executives other than White ones living in the Chicago suburbs when Obama made his racist statement in that 1995 interview? Prove that.

Again... Why does Obama state that only white executives don't want to pay double taxes for their own suburban school districts and Chicago's district, too? Where does Obama present any proof whatsoever that all executives of any other race in the suburbs want pay double taxes to fund both their own suburban school district and Chicago's?

Obama singled out Whites because he's a racist. He's been so for decades. That's his background. That's his history. JournoList member journalists colluded to hide that. There is verifiable evidence of them doing so.

No. The majority disapproves of Obama:

RealClearPolitics - Election Other - President Obama Job Approval

Not even the JournoList liars can cover for Obama anymore.

I disapprove of some of his actions and statements but imo he's a loyal U.S. citizen and a capable, decent, intelligent man. I always felt the same about GWB.

Did you know when you elected him that he had a decades-long history of racism? Or did the JournoListers' collusion manage to effectively dupe you, too?
