OBAMA'S RACE TO THE BOTTOM

“I should say at the outset that Skip Gates is a friend, so I may be a little biased here. I don't know all the facts.” That's the astounding way, Barack Obama, President of the United States started to answer a controversial racial question during a press conference. When the leader of the free world, admits to bias and ignorance and answers the question anyway, it's clear he's motivated by racial animosity and unconstrained arrogance.

Obama's racial animosity is directed at the source of all racism in America, working class white people. During an elitist San Francisco fund raising event in 2008, he described the feelings of people in small towns this way, “they get bitter, and they cling to guns, religion, or antipathy toward people who aren't like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment.” Does anybody believe these comments were colorless? Did Obama envision small town blacks hating immigrants, of course not. These carefully phrased comments were directed at working class whites. Even Obama's description of his white grandmother dripped with the same animosity, “..she is a typical white person. If she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know- there's a reaction in her that's bred into our experiences that don't go away and sometimes come out in the wrong way and that's the nature of race in our society.” When Obama mentions 'race in our society' it's clear that Obama means his grandmother had a deeply embedded fear of blacks. What a terrible thing to say and more importantly, believe. Obama's rage against whites doesn't extend to all whites. He is actually fond of upper class elites like the Kennedys, intellectual elites like Professor Bill Ayers and the liberal elites of Hollywood.

On July 20, prominent black Harvard Professor and Obama friend Henry Louis "Skip" Gates was arrested at his Cambridge, Massachusetts home for disorderly conduct. Gates attempted to break into his own house, which prompted one of his concerned neighbors to contact police and a white officer, James Crowley was first to respond. Gates greeted the him with racial insults and out of control screaming. When Obama was asked about his friend's arrest his instinctual racial animosity and emotion took over, he immediately blamed the police and assailed their conduct. His unruly black friend was virtually blameless, “the police acted stupidly”. Obama couldn't see it any other way. He was indoctrinated by the racially charged sermons of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, while working as a community organizer in poor black neighborhoods ravaged by police brutality and racial profiling. White working class cops like James Crowley are the enemy.

I may be alone in believing that race will destroy Obama's Presidency, not racist whites and their attacks against him rather his own rage against the perceived cause of racism in America, working class whites especially those in middle America. Obama won't be the first leader destroyed by his own insecurities and animosities. When Obama brings up the issue of race it's a race to the bottom. How low will he go?
