IS RACE STILL OBAMA'S DEFINING FACTOR?

Racism in Obama's America One Year Later


One Year into Obama Presidency, Some Still Use Race to Define First Family

By SARAH NETTER

Jan. 27, 2010—

In the year since President Obama smashed barriers to become the country's first black president, his tenure at the top has been punctuated by racial taunts and innuendos that have slyly, or sometimes blatantly, been circulated on the Internet, in e-mails and cartoons.

The offenses have ranged from crude to subtle, and offenders have ranged from the unknown to elected officials. Even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, an Obama ally, had to apologize for what many considered to be insensitive, denigrating language while referring to Obama.

Poll numbers suggest most voters are not judging Obama's presidency based on the color of his skin, but the issue has continued to surface in Obama's presidency with disheartening regularity.

The president's image has been altered to look like an African witch doctor, his wife's to look like a gorilla. The idea of having a black family in the White House was initially so sensitive to some that even simple acts like a fist bump or a pat on the behind between husband and wife, were analyzed for possible racial undertones.

Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, said he has seen evidence, albeit anecdotally, that Obama's race has become significantly less of a factor for most Americans since he took office, "in spite of an increase in vicious, mean comments from a small minority."

Poking fun at the president is an inevitable tradition, almost a national pastime. President George W. Bush was skewered by opponents who believed him to be unintelligent and inarticulate. And for years, President Clinton's libido was the prime target for late-night comedians.

But for many, criticism based solely on the color of Obama's skin crosses a line...CONTINUED HERE

  1. Obama's problem right now is he is trying to act too presidential instead of being himself.

    And it was too soon for him to push health reform, then he allowed it to be so watered down and corrupted, it wasn't health care reform at all.

    He better learn or he will be a one term president.

  2. Believe it or not, if the nigger actually pursued polices that have rebuilt this country, I could overlook his race.

    Instead, the nigger continues to mindlessly pursue policies to bankrupt the government and force everyone to the unemployment lines.

  4. Hey hey "Maytard", why don't you prove me wrong with facts instead of resorting to childish name calling?

    Those whom cannot defend their position call resort to insults.

  10. Yea, why don't you prove that Obamas not """mindlessly pursuing policies to bankrupt the government and force everyone to the unemployment lines""" Curty MayTard?

    Is there too much evidence supporting it so you can't? Or are you just ignorant?

  11. 12.5 Trillion in national debt, massive & unsustainable Budget deficits.

    Highest unemployment rate since the great depression, I rest my case!

  12. Just remember the last time the GOP caused a great depression it took ten years for recovery.

  15. How come the republicans always voted to raise the deficit ceiling when Bush was in office, but are suddenly 100 percent opposed to it now?

    Oh, and looks like that little prick in Illinois who was running freebillwhite.com has lost the domain.

  16. Curty MayTard has about one more post to quit before we expose him. It won't be pretty. Funs over, weirdo.

  17. """Mr. Schwartz said...How come the republicans always voted to raise the deficit ceiling when Bush was in office, but are suddenly 100 percent opposed to it now?"""

    No one said the Republicans have been fiscally responsible. However, Obama has taken it to whole new levels causing the yearly national deficit to total more than every single president in America in history, COMBINED!

    Clinton increased the national debt by 2.5 trillion in his entire 8 years. Bush increased the debt by 5 trillion in 8 years. Obama managed to raise the national debt by 2.5 trillion dollars in ONE SINGLE YEAR.

    Stop defending Obama's out of control spending Schwartz. I don't want to hear that garbage from you even one more time. You should be joining the rest of Americans and opposing Obamas spending. What kind of person approves of that level of spending. Schwartz, you should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking of supporting him of this.

    It has to be paid back Schwartz.

  19. Nikki and others called those who saw what was really coming nutjobs and lunatics. Then people like her ran out and voted for the real crazies. People like her made this bed, and now we all will l(d)ie in it. A sad state of affairs to be sure.

  20. 90% of the current debt was done when Republicans were in office, Hooch. Regan and Bush increased spending expediently.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Prove 90% of the debt was done with Republicans in office.

    You won't be able to do it because you are a liar just like your messiah.

  22. I was very impressed with Mr. Obama's speech. I have a lot of confidence that he will turn the economy around from this mess that Bush made.

  31. Can we all give the whole Vonbluvens-molesting-his-daughter thing a rest? There is a reason we have courts in this country. If Vonbluvens had ever been convicted of a crime like that, he have ever been cleared by the state of Florida to have anything to do with a daycare. Also, you would find him on a sex offenders list.

  32. Fuck you Von. Bill posted it on his website. You are a child molesting piece of shit.
