— Ace He's talking up people getting "bamboozled" again, cribbing dialog from the movie (but not apparently the life of) Malcolm X. (Neo-Neocon sets me straight; I always assumed the speech was drawn from reality.)
Good post, read it, I'll wait.
Here's my question. We conservatives are forever being accused of using "racial code words" and "blowing racist dog whistles," right?
Why is Obama allowed to reference by deliberate choice of key words a fictitious speech which is entirely -- en. tire. ly. -- about a conspiracy by evil white people to harm and keep down blacks?
Is this not a racial code word? No dog whistle here?
Here's the fictitious Malcolm X speech he keeps name-checking.
IÂ’m gonna tell you like it really is. Every election year these politicians are sent up here to pacify us! TheyÂ’re sent here and setup here by the White Man!This is what they do!
They send drugs in Harlem down here to pacify us!
They send alcohol down here to pacify us!
They send prostitution down here to pacify us!
Why you canÂ’t even get drugs in Harlem without the White ManÂ’s permission!
You canÂ’t get prostitution in Harlem without the White ManÂ’s permission!
You canÂ’t get gambling in Harlem without the White ManÂ’s permission!
Every time you break the seal on that liquor bottle, thatÂ’s a Government seal youÂ’re breaking!
Oh, I say and I say it again, ya been had!
Ya been took!
Ya been hoodwinked!
Bamboozled!
Led astray!
Run amok!
This is what He [the White Man] doesÂ…
How many times does this motherfucker get to drop the words "hoodwinked" and "bamboozled" before someone in the MFM notice he's making a very nasty subterranean racial appeal based on resentment, suspicion, conspiracy theory, and ultimately hatred?
Post-racial? Really?
Really.
By the Way: That's the only really good piece of writing I can recall Spike Lee ever doing. I love that bamboozled/led astray/run amok thing, especially because the last one don't even make no sense. That's what makes it great.
But -- aesthetic appreciation aside -- this is an explicitly rabble-rousing race-warring whitey-hating speech.
Why does Obama's mind keep going here?
The word "bamboozled" was all but gone from the English language (including among blacks, don't give me that crap) until Spike Lee revived it in this nice piece of writing.
That is the real etymology of the word as far as current usage -- as far as current conscienceness of the word, it began with this speech in Malcolm X. It had been a dead obscurity before that.
So why's Obama so smitten with the word? I'm always told how goddamned smart and educated he his; why does his mind keep running back to a bit of discarded street slang whenever he wants to talk about the whiter party at election time?

As long as he wants!
He is, as you may have notice, black. Which, in the world being created by Osama Obama and Eric Shabazz Holder, gives him special privileges.
Hell, if I used the cracka (which we all hate every iota of) equivalents, you'd ban my racist ass. Even if you didn't, the squishes at Tepid Air surely would.
Ace, I'm glad to see you gettin' riled up a li'l bitty. Y'all need to do it more often. Anger translated into coldly developed (nonviolent but forceful) action is what will save the country, and maybe restore life to the hideous racism, economic nightmares and monstro unemployment of the Bush days.

So did he just link those words up himself then by accident?

It's a full time job, with the Black Man constantly strugglin' to get up outta that hole the White Man dug to keep him in. The White Man is responsible for everting bad ever happened to the Black Man. Everthing! That White Man bamboozled the Black Man at every turn.
Well, that's a great argument. Since they got rid of the White Man in Africa, Haiti, etc., all those places are now Heaven on Earth. With no crime, no racism, no corruption, no poverty, no genocide, no civil war. Right? Right?
Key to success? Kill de White Man!

I have a white neighbor married to a very bright and successful black man. I like them both very much. He is in a business where he watches and listens to a lot of video of talk shows etc.
She is stunned by how much time black people sit around talking about white people, what they think, what they did, their attitudes etc. She says that it's amazing how weirdly preoccupied blacks are with whites.
She told her husband that white people really don't sit around analyzing black people and their every action.
She finds it weird. It gave me some insight into some of the issues. It's like high school girls who will dissect every syllable, look, or action of a boy to decide who he likes or what he's thinking. Later, they find out that he is thinking "sandwich".
They come up with some of the shit they do because they THINK white people are conspiring when they really could give a shit.

68 So bamboozled is a secret code word now? Maybe we're all just getting a little overly sensitive to supposed code words and dog whistles. I will concede the point when he lets loose with a "cracker ass motherfucker" or a "hook nosed slumlord," but "bamboozled" is not and never has been the sole domain of a Spike Lee script. Lighten up Francis.
Interesting that he quotes from a film about a Whitey-hating racist to talk about his Whitey opposition, no?

Whether or not one agrees that "bamboozled" is racial code-wording--and I do--you don't have to wonder how long it would take the media and others to have a conniption if we were to refer to the Obama administration as a minstrel show or some such.
I would like to hear some reasons why we should be so much less touchy than the Left. Other than our self-respect, which will get our asses kicked in this game.

Is there a list somewhere that indicates which companies hire people of color so I don't accidentally bamboozle them with my dollars?
Because until Obama, I didn't consider skin color before purchasing.
I told my husband recently that having this mofo in office has made me become more aware of race, and not in a good way. I am an Asian woman who's parents volunteered at a rescue mission in Center City, Philadelphia every Sunday and many Friday nights when I was a child til I was about 10 years old.
I became friends with a lot of Black and Puerto Rican kids at the mission. I didn't care what color they were or how much money they didn't have. In fact, these poor inner city kids dressed better than I did, so I really didn't understand the poverty until I was older. I didn't know about their absent fathers, drug addicted mothers, underperforming schools and their subsidized housing. I didn't know and I didn't care--they didn't talk about it.
What mattered was how well you could play jacks, how long you could double dutch jump rope, how loud you could sing in Sunday school, how fast you could run. My parents and other volunteers brought the older kids to our house several times for picnics and what not. They marveled at our house in the suburb, thought we lived out in the country, and thought we were rich (which just cracked me up). My dad took the high schoolers to Atlantic City several times for a day at the beach. I was astounded that these kids who were older than me had never seen The Ocean before.
I have felt comfortable around people of any color my whole life. Only now, I am distrustful, suspicious, dismayed, and disgusted by liberals of any color. It's getting increasingly difficult to be polite to these people. I think that Barack Obama has done more to set the Black community back than any other politician who's ever held an office in the U.S. (I say the Black community as a whole because they overwhelmingly support him even as he destroys the very fabric of a colorblind American society).

So did he just link those words up himself then by accident?
Very few things this President does are "accidental" he normally would rather take no action, than risk embarrassment with random action. Ace is right, this is no mere coincidence. It points to either Obama having watched the movie so many times that the speech is burned into his head and so by suggestion becomes the language that he uses OR he likes the movie and thinks that speech about systemic soft racism at the political level used to maintain black people in poverty, knows that the reference will likely go unnoticed by those to whom the message is not directed, and conveys a message that his political opponents are malevolently acting to keep black people in a state of de facto economic slavery.
That makes him either a race hate porn junkie, a secret supporter of NOI or a lying POS politician looking for any edge, I could believe any.

That's been a rumor on the MSM sites for a while, maybe the pooch just won't leave no matter how many sit ups she does. But, that would certainly insure re election in 2012, America wouldn't want to turn out a pregnant president.

"How many times does this motherfucker get to drop the words "hoodwinked" and "bamboozled" before someone in the MFM notice he's making a very nasty subterranean racial appeal based on resentment, suspicion, conspiracy theory, and ultimately hatred?"
You see Ace, the universities have been pouring worse into the heads of the leftie boobs who write and manage the news.
They know this is a code word, but because the diversity training is so effective, agree that it SHOULD be used.
I've said it a million times, it (the racism and leftism prevalent in the high education system) is WAY worse than people realize.

Michelle looks like she's sporting a 40" waist.

In an earlier thread, I commented on how heavy Michelle looked in those pictures of her and Sasha as they get off the plane in Spain. Her arms even look flabby. I said something about FLATUS looking FATUS, and how I think the resort in Spain is actually a fat farm. They've got to get Michelle back in shape before she hits the campaign trail (she is the Democrats "Secret Weapon", after all!) Plus you can't go around the country scolding people for being fat if you are too--unless you're Michelle Obama and the State Media just posts flattering head shots or trains 15 skinny lenses on you.

My son is in catholic school and has to complete community service hours every year. He tries to do them in the summer because he is in sports the rest of the year.
He was working at the same inner city football camp last night. Some very young anklebiter age 7 or 8 asked him why he was there. He said to help and to get community service hours. The kid said, "Oh, what did you get them fo?" At the risk of loosing his street cred, my son said he wasn't allowed to talk about it.
It actually upset him to know that a 7 year old knew that people got court mandated community service hours.

Because, Ace, that's the only way he knows of to get close to the "black experience". Language. Affectation. Street slang. Because he has never actually been "black", except when it suited him. He has been able to pick and choose the circumstances which he felt would make him fit in. You notice, we don't hear much about him being half Caucasian, or even biracial. These are traits which he downplays as much as possible, to the point (I believe, anyway) of being embarrassed by them. He hasn't been inconvenienced by being black, not nearly in the same way as other people of his generation have been - but he craves the "street cred" that those experiences would give him, so he bluffs.

Wouldn't that be something.
These people will do whatever it takes to stay in office. I wouldn't put it past her, and I wouldn't put it past them to have had someone elses embryo implanted in her.
That's been a rumor on the MSM sites for a while, maybe the pooch just won't leave no matter how many sit ups she does. But, that would certainly insure re election in 2012, America wouldn't want to turn out a pregnant president.
I think Michelle is lazy--she only works out her arms and doesn't do any cardio or any core work or lower body workouts. She just works on the one thing she exposes all the time. And if she stayed pregnant til 2012--that would be the longest gestation evah! Or do you think she's preggers now for the mid-terms and then going to get knocked up again in 12? Everything these people do is calculated political strategery. I actually think they are worse than the Clintons (and that's really saying something.)

Amen! Amen! He needs to prove to other Blacks that he is down for the struggle and that he is "Black enough"--remember that was an early criticism of him. being Halfrican American and all. And remember, this is a man who's grandmother was "a typical white person"--the only time you hear him referring to anything white, it's in a derogatory fashion.

I have felt comfortable around people of any color my whole life. Only now, I am distrustful, suspicious, dismayed, and disgusted by liberals of any color. It's getting increasingly difficult to be polite to these people. I think that Barack Obama has done more to set the Black community back than any other politician who's ever held an office in the U.S. (I say the Black community as a whole because they overwhelmingly support him even as he destroys the very fabric of a colorblind American society).
Posted by: runningrn at August 04, 2010 04:09 PM (CfmlF)
Not actually Zero's fault. Having been around Black people my whole life, and hearing them talk, and becoming aware of their world view, he is representing them quite well. He says the things they want to hear. They support him in his endeavours to make the country socialist. And they really do blame racism for virtually all their problems. That's why he enjoys 88% approval in the Black community. He represents their view. I think race relations are not set back, people just kidded themselves into thinking that they had improved greatly. They haven't.
Posted by: maddogg at August 04, 2010 12:35 PM (OlN4e)
You're reading too much into it, Ace. Obama's not trying to sound like Malcolm X. He's trying to sound like Denzel Washington. You know, someone popular.
Also, I was always familiar with "bamboozled" as one of those words Yosemite Sam used when he got pissed off.

That might be true. Even the Sherrod incident exposed how a "real" Black perceives The One. She chastised him for not being "Black" enough, so it sure seems that Obama patronizes his audience for both superficial, political gain as well as to bond with those who he internally thinks he should bond with more closely but really doesn't (except in some politically exploitative capacity).
Did he drop his g's in that presentation, because that's another tell. When he's live, he gets folksy. When he hob-nobs with non-hoi polloi or in studio, he speaks, ironically, King's English. I think Whitey makes him do that.

I don't presume to speak for anybody. And I don't think a lot of Blacks ever stopped being pissed. And I don't know anything about your friends, or even what your definition of a friend is. And I don't think there are any code words designed to awaken "sleeper cells" in anyone's brain. I'm just saying there are still a lot of Blacks who think RACISM first, last, and always, and that is not a new phenomenon.

Interesting that he quotes from a film about a Whitey-hating racist to talk about his Whitey opposition, no?
Posted by: Wyatt Earp at August 04, 2010 04:05 PMIt has been years since I (re)read Malcolm X's autobiography, but I seem to recall that when he broke with the Black Muslims and went to Mecca (Hajj and all that) he became aware that white men were not inherently his enemies and came to follow the "content of their character" idea of Dr. King. So in this, as in many other ways, he was far smarter than Osama Obama.
By the way: the first time I heard "bamboozled" was on an "Amos & Andy" TV show back in the 1950s. When the Traitor-in-Chief says "do the name Ruby Begonia ring a familiar bell?" or expresses a longing to join the Mystic Knights of the Sea, he'll truly be "authentic."
