Black People Not Amused By Politico Suggestion That Obama Reach Out To Whitey

[DonCoquixote]

17. Peoples Republic of China

I use that term to separate them from the many people who consider themselves Chinese, but want NOTHING to do with the crazy crap going on in Beijing.

And yes, I did think of you when I made my comment about Bernie and those who still did not wipe Obama's blood of their hands.

PS: if you want to see the stuff Ted Rall wrote about him, or Nader, you can look, but allow me to put up in red screaming neon "trigger warning!" It is one thing for self described "left" writers to criticize minorities. Heck, if I cannot take criticism, that means I let my jaw get soft. Ted took it one step further and started to lecture people on why Obama was not black.

I may not look "Hispanic" but I sure learned one thing the hard way; to some bigots, any hint of brown is more than enough to spill some red. Obama may not "act" like white people's expectations (or Cornell Wests) of what an African American should be, but we all know that if the Dylan Roofs of the world got a shot at him, they would take it, and many self appointed champions of the left would get right on the internet and pen a variant of "he deserved it."

So to restate my point to some readers, and to those the OP highlights, you slammed Obama because he was being too hard on whites. You slammed because because he was being too soft. You slammed him because he supposedly had no candor, yet every time he tried to be honest, you slammed him. I remember full well when Obama got slammed for this:

and yet, all these years afterword, is not what Obama said about the people he ticked off so much more true? The same people that got so ticked are the same people that have been defending anyone who shoots a black kid for the better part of a year, with no end in sight. The rest of the world, and especially the non whites in America (we who WILL become the majority) do not hate whites, but we are getting really tired of having to cater to their anger, fear, and yes, to quote to paraphrase Obama, bitterness, especially because extending a hand in solidarity is likely to get a gun drawn on us.
