Most whites hate liberal policies, not Black people [updated]

America elected a Black man to hold the nukes, case closed on race.

America loathed the policies of White Democrat President Jimmy Carter and his filibuster proof Democratic Party majorities in Congress. They turned him out of office by a landslide in favor of a Conservative Republican.

 

 [Update: I can only conclude that President Carter is projecting his own suppressed racism given his recent comment that the reason for such supposed unique vitriol against President Barack Obama is that many whites don't think Blacks are fully qualified to be President. Did President Carter miss the much greater vitriol against white Presidents George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and even himself for God's sake.

Or is President Carter simply foisting the old lie from the Democrats' playbook of the past 40+ years that to be a conservative is to be a racist, bigot, homophobe that cares not for the poor.

Not to mention my Congressman from the 4th Congressional District here in DeKalb County, Georgia, Hank Johnson's suggestion this week (backed up by fellow Democrat and his Speaker Pelosi's predictions of violence) that recent criticisms of Obama portend KKK raids on horseback are just around the bend.

Having just returned to Atlanta happy that Cynthia McKinney no longer represents me and having recently praised Rep. Johnson for a dignified Town Hall meeting on health care that didn't try to hide his constituents opposition to ObamaCare, I was quite disappointed that Johnson stooped to such a low level of discourse.]

They rejected the policies of White Democrat Walter Mondale and re-elected the Conservative Republican by an even larger landslide.

America loathed the policies of White Democrat Michael Dukakis and elected a more conservative Republican by a large margin.

 That so-called Conservative Republican President broke his read-my-lips no-new-taxes pledge and was rejected in favor of a White Democrat Bill Clinton promising to cut middle-class taxes, albeit, and significantly, by a less than 50% popular majority.

Two years later, after the White Democrat President broke his tax cut pledge, pushed for gays in the military and tried to impose socialized health care on America, Americans turned the House of Representatives over to the GOP for the first time in 40 years.

The White Democrat President was re-elected after following the Conservative GOP Congress to enact welfare reform, free trade and supply side tax cuts.

The White Incumbent Democrat ran to the left of the successful Presidency and lost the electoral vote to the marginal Conservative Republican favoring tax cuts.

The marginal conservative Republican President that enacted tax cuts that prevented a post-911 recession and kept us safe after 911 was re-elected over a White liberal Democrat.

The Great Recession hits White and Black.

An American electorate more than 78% White elects a Liberal Black Democrat Barack Obama, that promised he would not raise taxes on anyone earning less than $250K, along with a filibuster proof Congress.

The Liberal Black Democrat President and the Democratic Party Congress repeat the mistakes of Carter’s four years and Clinton’s first two years by advocating liberal policies.

The Liberal President and Congress fall in the polls.

The vast majority, the overwhelming majority of Americans are not racist. Those same Americans do care a whole lot about their wallets, liberty and national security.

Hence the above history.

Period. Not pictured are Mondale and Dukakis, nor any of the liberal Democratic Party congressional leaders, most of whom were or are White.

What the rejected have in common is not skin pigmentation. Rather it is failed modern day liberalism policies.

Period.

And any suggestion to the contrary is a damn lie; slander against White people; and even greater slander against America.

And those that suggest same reveal their inability to intellectually defend ObamaDem policies and so, their desperation.

    Enough is enough stop sacrificing young individual souls through 300 year old guilt. Lift the argument to its true meaning and debate employing a logical philosophical exchange. When we on both sides stop the infantile GOT YOU crap the discussion can elevate.

  • clowngirl

    I LOL’s this morning when I read ” 12% of Americans think that most people who oppose (Obamacare) are racists, 67% think they aren’t racist and 21% aren’t sure.” in between legitimate questions. It gets to the point where it’s just funny.

    The 12% probably just think Republicans are racist period.

  • scarlos

    Black voters themselves only think that opponents are racist by a 2-point margin.

    When you can barely sell a racism label to a Black audience in defense of the first black president, that attack is losing it’s power.

  • Leopard1996

    This assclown, and the others. It is one thing for some of the black congressmen and black activists to cry this point (although I call bulls*&t on them too), but when it is coming from white Berkley, not in my back yard liberal types who if I drove my black ass through their neighborhoods they would probably be calling the cops reporting a suspicious person. I tell them to go screw.

  • penguin2

    All they have left is the race card. Most Americans care only for reasonable governing, fair opportunities and basic freedom to live free. The current President and his filibuster proof Congress are not selling what the people want.

  • Richard Mullins

    its just hard to convince the “What’s in it for me” crowd that its not. The “What’s in it for me” crowd votes for the DBRC(Democrat Black Racist Caucus), Democrat Latinos(some of them are racists) and Democrat Asians. They don’t really care to get rid of racism or even cut it down to a reasonable level. They use codewords like reparations as a term for “What’s in it for me”. It explains why they think racism is on the uptick(because its a reason to exist).

    The “Whats in it for me” crowd votes only when one their own is on the ballot. Otherwise, they’ll stay home. I think I’ll speak more about this later.

  • DONTREADONME

    I love Ann Coulter, after reading her latest book I am starting to see the victim card being called by many people. Kanye West when describing why he did what he did at the VMAs and now the Democrats decrying racism.

    One thing conservatives are always consistent on is despising liberal/progressive/statist policies by Any American in Power, PERIOD. It is not any more difficult then that.

  • JadedByPolitics

    today, Mark Warner and told the woman that I have had ENOUGH! She said she had not heard the Carter remarks…I told her it was Carter, Democrat Congressmen, MSDNC, the NY Times and that Sen. Warner has a LARGE portion of constituents who did NOT vote for Obama and that he needed to man up and tell the President to STOP this line of attack. I will be calling Webb’s office tomorrow.

    I believe we should all call all of our Congress people to DEMAND that the 59 million of us who disagree in principle with the left STOP being called racists. If we flood their phone with our displeasure probably nothing will change but they will know that this is one more nail in their coffins.

  • techsan

    Maybe this is what was meant by a post-racial presidency. Shout “racist” in a crowded room so many times that you render the alarm inert.

    its potency. So many white moderates and libs voted for Obama to purge the white guilt and guess what

    they did purge it.

  • redneck_hippie

    Peiod.

    I have no fear of the PC police. My first column when I was chosen to be the conservative voice at the Charlotte Observer was to call out whites to respect blacks so much that they would criticize them just as they would whites.

    I watched the dem party from the INSIDE, become racist and watched republicans buy the moral argument and hire anyone that could make them a dollar.

    I became a democrat as a teen due to the fact that in the early 70s it was democrats that were the activists in integration.

    And my SC hometown cowardice kept me from switching parties in the late 80s when I knew I should have on all issues.

    Now, I am back in the city that fostered my conservative epiphany in 2001 and Hank Johnson, my congressman embarrassed himself today.

    more later

    I can bet on that…. Similarly War on poverty, helping the disadvantaged minorities…. They never go away.

    only to be found later those blood sucking politicians that are part of the DBRC(Democratic Black Racist Caucus). It doesn’t matter if things get better, they need that to stay relevant. That’s part of why they start saying that calling Obama a liar means your a racist. We know that not to be the case, but those that need the Race card to stay relevant bring it up.

  • http://www.examiner.com/x-1597-Charlotte-Law--Politics-Examiner Mike gamecock DeVine

    The Obama reversal on Gates showed that the purge of white guilt by so many white moderates and libs in Obama’s election was real purge. The race card has no power no matter what the press does, unless we let it have power by surrendering.

    I don’t see that happening.

    Never confuse what the left in the press report with the reality of voters.

  • Cheryl

    Ann Coulter nailed it.

  • OccamsRazor

    He’s a useful tool for the left, while he self aggrandizes before he passes. Period.

  • OccamsRazor

    As a white male, at some point, I got tired of being called a racist and it got boring to me.

  • OccamsRazor

    As an elective. Relax. ;)

    The prof expanded upon the plight of blacks and gave a car sales situation as an example: There were studies done at the time whereas a black car salesmen, when approached at the same time by a white man and a black man, the black man would, without knowing, inherently gravitate towards the white man. The reasoning by the professor was, well, because the white man potentially had more money (but was somehow at fault).

    A pendulum swings two ways.

    given by JC Watts to the National black caucus when they called him an “uncle tom” at his refusal to join them.
    he replied “I’d rather be an uncle tom than a bunch of race pedaling poverty pimps”.

    That guy is my hero, simply because he stood up for his beliefs in the face of his peers and well..I don’t have a quick wit like that.
    you have to admit, he stung them where they live.
    We need more folks like him..strong, self reliant and capable.

    or read diaries dealing with racism as an issue. That said, I have come to trust your perspective as a former democrat activist who made the transit to right based on the issue. Maybe it is wrong of me to ignore the issue, but frankly I find it overblown. I ignore skin color and wish everyone could do the same. Sure, it’s an outrage how the donkey party exploits the minorities, but then everything the donkey party does outrages me.

    I agree that we should call our congresspersons and senators to complain about this egregious slander.

    The existence of the University of South Carolina is validated by your columns alone.

    Anyways, you have pointed out something that more people should realize. For most white people, it isn’t that we hate black people, it’s that we disagree with Liberal policies.

  • Leopard1996

    I saw it too, I was never a Dem, always pretty much independent to Republican, (registered GOP now), and I also see the racism. It is that paternalistic racism of we will provide you everything you need, just give us your loyalty.

    Sorry, the dems lost credibility with me, when I heard about LBJ talking about we will give the n—–s civil rights and welfare, they will be voting for us for decades.

    Most black Americans hate white people! I know this to be a fact. OK, hate might be a strong word, but nearly all black people believe that just below the surface all white people are bigots. They also believe, that because of past injustice, society owes them, and that is personalized into “whitey owes me”.

    They also will absolutely support other blacks in any sort of altercation or difference over a white person no matter what.

    That is why you see them constantly electing criminals, protecting criminals, standing up for criminals.

    Black Americans are the largest single group of racists in the world.

    Now I know it isn’t all blacks, but it’s the majority. I know there are historical reasons for the way they feel, But that does not excuse it.

    This is the elephant in the room, and until it changes there can be no progress in race relations.

  • http://www.examiner.com/x-1597-Charlotte-Law--Politics-Examiner Mike gamecock DeVine

    from being in the room with them as one of them all my life and so know how things have changed. My first MSM column in 2006 was to challenge whites to end the guilt and and PC police fear and be willing to criticize blacks

    and I have written extensively over the past three years that the ball is in the blacks’ court to purge their ranks of the haters they still treat as mainstream, like Rev Wright.

    I would say that I do no longer think that most blacks are in any major way more conservative on social and other issues given their massive abortion rate and votes for democrats.

    And I must admit that I have witnessed much more black anger since 2000 than before then after I moved to Atlanta and admit that I see a lot more outside the big cities than before.

    So there is evidence of what you say. I just think you may overstate the case. But we can’t read hearts, only actions.

    And I am hopeful that the election of Obama will start the process of their weaning from exclusive allegiance to the dem party.

    it’s not really the case. It’s just that he is preoccupied with the internal struggle of his white half being prejudiced against his black half, or vice-versa, or both.

    Yeah, that’s the ticket! That explains it all!

  • UpLateAgain

    own prejudices, GC. I couldn’t agree more.

    In fact, in my experience, about ninety-nine percent of the people who charge “racism” (when they actually think it’s the case…. not just as a last ditch effort political ploy) in any given situation are really just projecting their racism on you. They feel that way, so in their minds, you must too.

    Anymore, if someone calls me a racist, I attack vigorously telling them over and over again that they are the G.. D….. racists, in a voice escalating in both pitch and volume, as being indicated by them being the only ones mentioning race. It usually catches them completely flat-footed and leaves them staring into space and mumbling to themselves for a couple of minutes until they manage to collect themselves enough to start protesting that they are really not……… no really……

  • UpLateAgain

    around 50/50, down from 70/30 favorable a couple of months ago. I guess 20% of those folks being asked must have just now suddenly realized he’s black.

  • izoneguy

    Think of it this way. What if Obama was white? DO you think America would give someone like John Edwards the leeway that Obama is getting? People are finally waking up & discovering the Obama many of us saw a year ago. A far left leaning, redistribute the wealth guy who really believes that his way is the best way.

    It is absolutely correct, but it doesn’t demonstrate racism, only stereotyping.

    Often, black cops are more likely to chase a black suspect too, and it isn’t because of peer pressure as the left would have you believe.

    It is because people have stereotypes ingrained in their minds.

    However, you have to understand that there is a difference between stereotyping and racism., despite the fact that they often go hand in hand.

    See, the black car salesman in your example and the black cop in mine obviously do note HATE black people, they just made assumptions about them based on stereotypes.

    This is much different than racism, which is HATRED for someone based on race.

    I’m not saying stereotyping is necessarily a good thing, I am just saying that it isn’t necessarily racist either.
