We might as well admit it

Yesterday, in cities throughout the nation, small pockets (numbering, in the 100’s at each location) of people gathered to have tea parties in order to protest the socialist / communist policies of B. Hussein Obama and his administration. I looked at the pictures of the protests at these gatherings in Lansing Mi., Hartford Co., Nashville Tn., Austin Tx., Houston Tx., Tulsa Ok., Chicago Il., and Los Angeles Ca. and one thing that you couldn’t help notice is that how thoroughly White these protests were. There were a extraordinarily small sprinkling of minorities in attendance but by and large these protests were organized and attended by White people.

Now, I realize that this observation is hardly scientific in the way that Gallup or Roper would do a poll but I still think it says something about the way the opposition to the socializing of America is shaping up.

The Obama administration has made it clear in subtle and not so subtle ways that they are waging racial economic warfare on White people. In one of the more not so subtle ways we had civilian economic adviser, and former Clinton Labor Secretary, Robert Reich, explicitly say in testimony before Congress that the stimulus money need not go to “White construction workers.”

Obama Economic Advisor Robert Reich: No Stimulous Money for White Construction Workers – Rangel: The Middle Class is to Busy to Notice What We Are Doing

Approximately ten days ago we had Vice President Biden introducing alleged President Obama (alleged because we still don’t know, due to citizenship issues, if he is even qualified to be President) noting that this was going to be an economic recovery characterized by “fairness.” Now if you listen to Biden in the context of Reich, who is also clearly concerned about “fairness” you begin to wonder if “fairness” is code language for a racial transfer of wealth from White people to minorities.

But lets not stop there. We have yet to mention Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder stating that,

“Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards.”

Now, while we won’t spend any time refuting Holder’s asinine statement where he seeks to foster white guilt while inciting a sense of Black entitlement, does any body with half a brain believe that Attorney General Holder believes that Black people are cowards when it comes to things racial? I think not. It is my decided opinion that Holder has White people in his sites with this kind of statement. It is White people who are cowards when it comes to things racial.

But we are not finished with this verbal racial onslaught of the Obama administration against white people — a verbal onslaught that is now getting translated to economic racial socialism. Consider the Benediction that was given by Rev. Joseph Lowery at the Obama inauguration.

Lowry intoned a benediction based upon a song titled, “Black, Brown and White”

“We ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to give back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right.”

Now, take all of this that has been provided and remember Michelle’s comments during the campaign season that revealed that during Barack’s campaign Michelle, for the first time in her life, was proud to be an American. Was it perceived racial oppression that took Michelle’s pride to be an American from her?

Take all of this that has been provided and remember B. Hussein’s comments during the campaign about people in small towns in Pennsylvania (hardly a bastion of Black demographics) that,

“It’s not surprising then they (small town Pennsylvanians) get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

Take all of this that has been provided and now add the specter of B. Hussein Obama’s Spiritual mentor for twenty years — Rev. Jeremiah Wright — easily one of the most White hating people to hit the public spotlight for quite some time.

Add all this together and it is not difficult to see why minorities are not showing up at protests against the Obama’s proposed socialism agenda. Minorities rightly believe that this transfer of wealth is going to go from White people to minorities. Now, there is little sense trying to convince people that in the end this racial socialism won’t lift the impoverished minorities but will merely eliminate the producing class that the welfare class so desperately depends upon.

In closing I am perfectly aware that there are minorities out there that exist that are as disgusted as any White person is concerning Obama’s racial socialism. These minorities understand that in the long run this kind of program reduces their people to slaves to the state and so are radically opposed to it. These people are to be applauded, but we must admit that their numbers in comparison to those minorities who support this racial socialism (as seen in voting patterns) is scant. Secondly, I’m perfectly aware that there are White people who are for Obama’s racial socialism. White people, on one end of the wealth spectrum, have always had their ‘poor white trash’ they have had to deal with, while on the other end of the wealth spectrum, White people have always had ‘rich white trash’ who would sell out their people if by doing so they could enrich themselves. All this to say that I realize that one can not speak in absolute racial universals on this subject, but instead only in predominant racial tendencies.

We might as well admit it that much of the Obama administration has a racial chip on their shoulder and that they are seeking to implement not just socialism but racial socialism.

What is humorous about a post like this is that people will insist that my noticing objective patterns of behavior by the Obama administration proves that I am the racist. It will be contested by some that all because I perceive how they are waging war on White people that therefore I am the racist.

Oh well…

  1. alleged President Obama (alleged because we still don’t know, due to citizenship issues, if he is even qualified to be President)

    I have found a new approach to the “Obama Question” at the Return of the God’s Website on this page: http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/home.htm Obama: The Accidental American

    The relevant excerpt:

    At first blush, it sounds like a nice attitude, when Senator Obama says that he will never question another man’s patriotism. But a closer look will reveal how inappropriate it would be for the Senator to ever, in fact, do so.

    While Senator Obama may, technically, be allowed to run for President if he was, in fact, born in the United States–a Constitutional requirement;–he is, at best, only an accidental American. His father did not come here as a settler, nor as an immigrant. He came purely as a student, a citizen of Kenya from a small minority tribe in that land on the opposite side of Africa. He finished his studies and returned home, leaving his wife, of a brief period, with the baby Senator. She then removed the baby Senator to Indonesia–apparently to avoid association with other Americans–but eventually the young Obama came back.

    It is only because so many Americans have been conditioned by the media & Leftist academics to be embarrassed in taking pride in their own heritage & lines of descent, that the accident of Senator Obama’s Americanism is not the subject for humor at every dinner table; at the bar in every pub; on vehicles of public transportation; and in a million phone calls by the hour. Yet, somehow, this new indifference to family and ethnicity does not fit in a land, which used to be described in our song “America,” as “Land where my fathers died.” One supposes that the new version will proclaim, “Land that my father visited.”

    Yes, folks. But somehow that does not quite seem the way that “preserved us a nation,” in The Star Spangled Banner.

    The article is slightly lengthy but raises some extremely interesting points without considering the OQ from within the current paradigm.

  2. We might as well admit it that much of the Obama administration has a racial chip on their shoulder and that they are seeking to implement not just socialism but racial socialism.

    Okay, let’s grant that this is so. So what? Isn’t socialism the problem, not the racial component? Why are you concerned about the racial dimensions?

  3. The same reason I’d be concerned about it if it were a racial socialism that was working in any direction. The idea that any people group should be favored or disfavored solely on their skin pigment is ridiculous and is something that should be labeled and resisted. So, I would say that both socialism and racism are a part of the problem here.

    Next question.

  4. The idea that any people group should be favored or disfavored solely on their skin pigment is ridiculous and is something that should be labeled and resisted.

    Amen and amen.

    So, the next question: resisted how? And under what label? The underlying question: is this resistance a white resistance or a Christian resistance? And what are we trying to preserve: white culture or Godly justice?

  5. So, the next question: resisted how?

    Well, I think the first way is to expose it when it is being practiced. Of course that is done all the time by minority races when White people do it but exposing it when minorities are doing it to white people has or is fastly becoming taboo.

    I don’t think you can or should try to resist it by legislation. I think 40 years plus of going that route has shown that can’t and doesn’t work.

    As an example of proper resistance by way of exposing I think Steve Sailer does a great job of resisting in the way I am speaking of in this article,

    http://vdare.com/sailer/090308_bear_market.htm

    And under what label?

    I don’t yet know the answer to that question. Still trying to think it through. Some have suggested a “Kinnist” label. Some have suggested a “Citizenist” label. Some have suggested a “racialist” label. They each have their differences from the other. Whatever label we use to resist with we need to make sure that the content stems from and is authorized by Biblical Christianity.

    The underlying question: is this resistance a white resistance or a Christian resistance? And what are we trying to preserve: white culture or Godly justice?

    Yes, this is the question isn’t it.

    Part of the reason answering it is so difficult is that notions of ethnicity, race, culture, and religion lie bound up tightly with one another so much so that it is extraordinarily difficult to develop an answer that will be Christian that won’t be accused at the same time of being pursued because it is “white,” or “European,” or “culturally Western.”

    For myself I think Western culture has been superior because it owes so much to the Christian faith. That is not to say it is perfect but it is to say that it is superior to all other cultures that haven’t been influenced by Christianity (and legions are their names). Why God has been pleased to visit the West with his grace above any other should not be a matter of arrogance but should be a matter of humility coupled with wanting to see the rest of the World know God’s grace. For centuries the West had this mission mindset. That’s largely been lost as increasingly churches are fearful of trying to convert people due to the suggested superiority that such a desire conveys.

    Well much more might be said and might yet be said but I will leave it there for now.
