Black people are violent. Unlike white people, they can’t control their emotions or their frustrations. Unlike previous elections where only white candidates lost, if Barack Obama loses, black people may well have their fragile psyches shatter and riot in the streets.
Sound racist? It sure does to me.
But, it isn’t, because it was a liberal who hinted at that possibility. What IS racist – according to some idiot at the Associated Press – was Sarah Palin’s remark that Barack Obama was “palling around” with terrorist William Ayers. William Ayers is white, fyi.
Do you see just how biased, warped, and psychologically unhinged the media is? Sarah Palin says, what, that Barack Obama has been friends with and worked in partnership for an admitted terrorist bomber. And that’s “racially tinged.”
Meanwhile, on CNN, a discussion among Obama surrogates and card-carrying members of the liberal mainstream media turned the race “card” into a race “hand grenade” and flung it into the crowd. And that isn’t “racially tinged.”
David Gergen said, “I think it’s too early to declare victory Anderson, because Barack Obama is black. And until we play out the issue of race in this country, I don’t think we’ll know and maybe unless — late in the campaign.” What followed was a somewhat fearful discussion of the CNN panel that people might not vote for Barack Obama because of his race.
Basically, they continued blazing Newseek’s race card-lined trail, assuming that anyone who doesn’t vote for Barack Obama must be a racist.
Liberals love to lump people into groups and sub-groups based on how they vote: we can call this potential segment the “white guilt vote”: white people who didn’t want to vote for Barack Obama, but did so rather than be forced to wear the MSM’s “Scarlet R” for racism.
And then James Carville dropped the race bomb:
CARVILLE: Let me be clear, I said you can call the dogs and light the fire and leave the house. I think it sounds over.
Now let me be clear here, if Obama goes in this race with a 5- point lead and losing this election, the consequences are — bull, man. I mean I don’t think that’s going to happen, but I think David it’s a point to bring up.
But you stop and contemplate this country if Obama goes in and he has a consistent five point lead and loses the election, it would be very, very, very dramatic out there.
What consequenes are you talking about, James? Who are you expecting to do what, and why are you anticipating it? And what kind of “drama” are you talking about? Are you suggesting that, if Barack Obama loses, entrants into various drama contests around the country will increase?
He’s talking about race riots. He’s introducing the threat that millions of black people will come unglued.
Let me slant Jame’s Carville’s comment into the “racially tinged” angle the way the Associate Press did with Sarah Palin’s comments:
You better make sure Barack Obama gets elected, white people. Because black people aren’t like white people. They don’t have the ability to control their emotions the way white people do. You know how violent “those people” can be.
How about my take on things? I think a lot of black people who wanted this clearly historic outcome would be incredibly disappointed if Barack Obama loses. And I think that responsible black people will act just like responsible white people have – and act like responsible citizens.
I’m sick of being beaten over the head – and seeing my candidates being beaten over the head – with constant allegations of racial bias. And I’m sick of the incessant racial bias of the very people who keep throwing out the charges.
Please vote for the candidate who you believe will be the best leader for this country, for the candidate who will serve this nation best in a critical time in our history. And don’t allow either racism, or reverse racism, to sway your vote for that candidate.

Lynnea,
Thanks for the link. I’ll definitely visit.
Racism is a big deal for me. All kinds of racism. One of my firm beliefs is that – as long as so many black “civil rights” leaders devote themselves to negative racial politics, and as long as there are so many liberals in the media dumping on “white society,” racism will never end.
You listen to the white separatists and racists, and their fundamental reason to be is “reverse discrimination.”
If you want to end racism, you END it. You don’t say, “Well, it’s okay for THIS group to be racist, but if THIS group is racist, it’s really bad.” What you do is guarantee that we will continue to have both bitter feelings and racism.

Race should not be an issue; most people will agree on that.
But that would be or may be one day in Futureland. Obama played the race card way back just after he first went on the stump. He tried to disguise it with “they will tell you … he has a funny name” and all sorts of bull poop. But he quickly cemented his base with the assistance of Jeremiah’s eight thousand and this what’s his name fellow from Georgia who said Hillary lost the support of 92% of the black vote. Now, if you say that is not racism you are already in Futureland or, probably in some Child Cuckoo Land of your own.
Forget it. This election is about race whether you admit it or not. Obama decided it would be and that’s it! There I now have the name: Clyburn of Georgia. He confirmed what I have just said.

Yeah. It’s an issue that certainly shouldn’t be an issue, but that is still one anyway.
And the black “civil rights” leaders aren’t doing a damn thing to bring America beyond racism; what they are trying to do is drive up racism and use it for cynical self-interested political gain, and as a weapon to hurt Republicans and conservatives.
They – more than anyone or anything else – are why we can’t racially heal.
And the media just shows how in the tank it is on this story, just as it does with every story.
