Obama Is Black and They Hate Him for It

September 13, 2009

For centuries, blacks were slaves and considered sub-human. They were mere property to use and sometimes abuse and their masters were mostly white though other races owned slaves if they had the wealth to do so.

The idea that a black man could and has become president is contrary to white culture, especially in the South and in the Republican party. There are racists everywhere in all races and political parties and most keep it to themselves but now we have a segment of the Republican Party that sees no reason to keep quiet. They see a black President as a threat to the nation and to them personally. The result has been many racists comments in the form of speeches, shout outs and emails.

A few examples will demonstrate this:

Jean Schmidt, a Republican Representative from Ohio admits she is a "birther", a person who will not believe Obama was born in the United States and so it not legitimate. They seek to neutralize him in this manner. http://crooksandliars.com/logan-murphy/republican-jean-schmidt-caught-agreei

US Representative Lynn Jenkins from Kansas who said the Republican Party was looking for a “great white hope” to fight against Obama and his administration. The Great White Hope issue started long ago, a reaction to having black boxers beat the hell out of white ones in the ring. http://cjonline.com/news/state/2009-08-26/jenkins_remark_raises_eyebrows

and who could forget “Barack the Magic Negro” song by Paul Shanklin and distributed by Chip Saltsman, Tennessee's GOP Chair. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_the_Magic_Negro

What Republicans need to do is embrace their racism, after all they think it’s okay. They should admit they hate Obama because he is a black and President. They need to admit they would never vote for a black man for President and do announce this openly.

This sentiment was clearly told to me last fall by a white, racist Republican who considers himself as a “good” Christian: “I'm not voting for no fucking nigger.”

At least he was brutally honest unlike most Republicans who claim equality but don’t believe it. They hide behind the veneer of partisan politics and attack any and every policy, statement or decision he makes not because he is wrong but because he is black.
