In reply to the discussion: Black People Not Amused By Politico Suggestion That Obama Reach Out To Whitey [View all]DonCoquixote
(13,979 posts)When Obama reached out to those who hated him, not only did he get hated on by them, but even our beloved left began to dogpile on him as some sort of fake black person (as ifwhites like Ted Rall and Ralph Nader were somehow in a position to judge if Obama could be called black.) IMHO, when the Bernie supporters started yelling at BLM and wondering "why don't you people understand!" a lot of Afro Americans remembered the way many on the LEFT also fired at Obama because he was not THEIR version of what a Black president should be!
While I myself wish Obama was more of a leftist, I would say humbly, at this point, he owes people NOTHING. In terms of practical results, long lasting results, like Gay Marriage, increased access to Medical care, and killing Osama Ben Ladin, he has gotten results that will NOT be washed away by history. Yes, he dragged his feet on some, but after that foot dragging, he got up and walked, which is something a hell of a lot of so called "liberals" never did. He had to deal with attacks on all sides, including especially from the DINOS who often get lauded right here on this page (such as Reid, Pelosi, Landrieu et al )
The sad fact is, even after the whites finally are no longer the numerical majority, many of them will still expect to be the favored children, the ones that get everything they want for xmas and the biggest slice of cake. Want Proof?, see the way many people recoil at immigration, both of Syrians (whose country we helped ruin thanks to our then sec of state declaring "Assad must go"
to Mexicans (those whose country we cut in half and took the part that had all the gold.) After we get used up, the best place for many of these fools to call will be the call centers in China, which is, after all, where they allowed the wealth of the nations to be moved to. The true equality will be the the PRC will hate and have contempt for both black and white Americans.
