Obam’s Race Card

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/04/26/obama_calls_upon_minorities_for_upset_vote_in_2010.html

In the video above B. Hussein Obama implores young people, African-Americans, Latinos and women who voted for him in 2008 to vote in the 2010 midterms for Democrats. The reason why this is interesting for a couple reasons. First, Obama is clearly pitting minority America against White America. Obama, here, is doing more than playing the Race card, he is being revealing his racist colors.

Secondly, it is interesting because the groups that Obama appeals to are the very groups, which I have been insisting for quite some time on Iron Ink, who constitute the shock troops of his cultural Marxist agenda. Remember I have said that cultural Marxism differs from classic Marxism inasmuch as the wedge that the cultural Marxists seek to drive is not economic as much as it is cultural. The proletariat who will overthrow the bourgeoisie is not so much the working class (though some of them may be involved) as it is the disaffected groups that Obama appealed to in his pitch. Minorities are appealed to because as victims they have putatively been kept down by the Christian white man. (Feminist) Women are appealed to because the Cultural Marxist have been able to convince them that they are victims of Male hegemony. Youth are appealed to in this victim coalition because they have been brainwashed into believing that they are the ones who will bring in the brave new world that their parents and grandparents represents.

In Obama’s appeal to Women, young people, African-Americans and Latinos we find an appeal that is both anti-white in its appeal to minorities vis-a-vis non-minorities and anti-Western in its appeal to women and young people who have been convinced by the anti-Western narrative that the West is responsible for the lack of progress and the infliction of all sorts of evils upon the world. What all these people have in common, w/ Obama is a hatred of all things Western.

I can’t remember, in my lifetime, such an overt appeal to racial identity by a sitting President.
