I will start off by telling you what I am not. I am not a racist, I am not a democrat or a liberal, I am not a pagan, I am not a nazi, I am not rich, I am not silent. Now here is what I will tell you what I am. I am a Christian, a father, a husband, a teacher, a caregiver and a American Veteran . I am free and proud of my great nation always. What I say and do here is to provide you with a political education.
One of my professors at the EIB Institute brought up the topic of racism in politics and I wish to share a portion of that transcribed lecture he has provided to me. Transcript begins: We've been discussing today a column by a guy named David Ehrenstein of the Los Angeles Times entitled, "Obama, the 'Magic Negro.'" It's all about how white people supporting Barack Obama can't possibly be doing it on the basis of substance, because there's nothing about him and he's an empty vessel. Nobody knows enough about him to support him on the basis of policy or substance. So the white people supporting Barack Obama, "the magic negro," are doing so precisely because he's "the magic negro." By supporting him, white people get to assuage their guilt over this nation's history with slavery and the Confederacy and all this other tripe. This has led to a number of points being made by me, brilliantly, on this program. It is the left in this country that looks at people and sees their skin color or their gender or their sexual orientation as the first things they notice about them. The whole point of this piece is to accuse white people of being racist. They don't really like Obama. They don't really like black people. They feel guilty about what this country's done to black people. So they support Barack because he's the, quote, unquote, "magic negro." This is the same newspaper that has run a couple of stories on Is Obama black enough? So clearly it's just remarkable to continue to witness the actual racism that exists on the left, using the term "magic negro" to apply to you white people who are supporting Obama.
"Among African Americans, discussions about his racial identity typically vacillate between the ideologically charged options of "black" versus "not black enough" or between "black" and "black, but not like us." But there is a third side to Obama and also to the politics of racial passing in America. "- By Reporter Louis Chude-Sokei of the LA Times
The Los Angeles Times says white people don't really like Obama. They don't really like black people. They feel guilty about what this country's done to black people. So they support Barack because he's the, quote, unquote, "magic negro." This is the same newspaper that has run a couple of stories on Is Obama black enough? Now folks that is racism and The Los Angeles Times gets away with it time and time again.
