Brit Hume: Holder's, Obama's Racial Appeals "Crybaby Stuff;" Both Men Have Benefited "Enormously" In Political Terms from Their Race
— Ace

Last week, first Holder and then Obama addressed Al Sharpton's National Action Network, both making emotionally-charged claims of persecution to the largely-black audience.

Bret Hume thinks this is nonsense. So it seems to me as well.

“To those two men, race has been both a shield and a sword that they have used effectively to defend themselves and attack others,” Hume continued. “It is depressing at this stage in our national life, after all we’ve been through on this issue and given the overwhelming consensus of civil rights, that this stuff is still going on.”

On the same panel (I think) George Will calls the left's constant invocation of race to explain away criticism of them as a "kind of Tourette's syndrome."

He notes that Obama's foreign policy is in "shambles," and the economy is miserable -- does one need to venture far afield to come up with clever subconscious explanations for why Obama is unpopular?

No, of course not; the reasons for his unpopularity are glaringly obvious. Thus making it all the more necessary to claim that "racism" accounts for opposition against him.

So now we're all "unconscious racists." Listen, I've said it before, I'm a bit of an economic elitist. I'll cop to that. Totally. But this bias I have knows no boundaries of race.

28 I had a liberal friend tell me, four years ago, that it was amazing how Obama had overcome the racial obstacles he faced to win the Presidency.  My response was, "That's utter nonsense.  He's President entirely because he's black.  If he were white, he's a less experienced John Edwards."  There's no way on God's earth that he'd be President if white, because the media would have carried Hillary to the Democratic nomination.

He's the ultimate product of Affirmative Action, and the ultimate benefactor of the "soft bigotry of low expectations."

35 One thing that always enrages me about the left is that   they will always claim, without so much as    blinking,   that it is the RIGHT who     bring race into every conversation.     Always, without fail,  that will be the left's claim.   If you say to a leftist, "Why do you always have to make things about race (or gender, sexuality, etc, etc)?" they will invariably come back at you with some variation of, "You started it!"    Then they'll go on a twenty minute screed about how the left can't even MENTION racism/misogyny/homophobia, etc,    because it   "always" brings out the    rightwing   haters.    And they mean it, too.     They legitimately don't  recognize their own racialist    rhetoric,   and are perfectly happy to rewrite their personal histories so that the first person to mention an individual's race (gender, sexuality, etc)   is always someone OTHER than them,   and always someone on the opposite end of the political/ideological spectrum.  


To the left, actually    criticizing Obammy, or Stedman, or Nazi PeloKKKi, or the pederast Hairy Reed, is akin to   racism, sexism, ageism, etc-ism,  even if the subjects of those various -isms are never actually mentioned.   The sheer notion that someone might DARE to     criticize the secular saints of the socialist left is all the evidence they need to scream, "BIGOT!!!!!"   like a three year old in a sandbox who can't find his bucket and spade.

36 So, if I don't think Obama or Holder are worth the air they keep breathing, do I hate their black ancestors or their white ancestors? It is so confusing, this racism....

Posted by: tcn at April 14, 2014 10:16 AM (fwcEs)

37 This stuff will never end, though. Look at countries with a high degree of ethnic diversity. It never ends. Ambitious politicians always play the ethnic/racial card when they can. Cause it works. It's why ethnic Diversity causes corruption. Because corrupt politicians can use it as a shield.. You aren't attacking me, the corrupt politician stealing money, you are attacking all blacks/ mexicans/ malaysians/ punjabis/ etc, etc. America's ranking on all indices of corruption has fallen in recent decades as the Diversity in America has increased. And the infamously corrupt Boss Tweed eras in America's past were the direct result of huge waves of immigration then. Luckily, amazingly really, almost all of the disparate europeans groups arriving -- who had been warring in Europe for millenia -- were melted over time into a generic "white" ethnic group. But then the Left declared jihad on the Melting Pot. Hispanics would likely melt into some degree of generic white, too, if we didn't reward them with government benefits for holding on to their ethnic separateness.

39 I watched Bret on panel early this morning on Fox's Sunday show rerun. Hume is obviously a racist. What was funny was the mental masturbation gymnastics Woodward went through to explain how Holder's race baiting at the Sharpton event wasn't at all what everyones' lying eyes and ears experienced. He is such a pure Lefty that he could not experience the same reality that everyone else did. Holder: "The White people are devils and want to lynch me." Wallace: "Carl, why did Eric Holder play the race card?" Woodward: "I don't know what you are talking about Chris. I never once heard the AG use the word 'race'."

IÂ’ll  keep  asking until I get an answer: Why can the president and attorney general consort with a racist con man like Sharpton without any public slamming by Republicans?

 

Think of the closest thing to a “Republican Sharpton”. Whoever he would be. Imagine GOP leaders making a pilgrimage to that person to praise him and stir up racial animosity among his followers. And imagine Democrats staying silent. WTF?

45 does one need to venture far afield to come up with clever subconscious explanations for why Obama is unpopular?

===============

Actually, you're wrong there.

Read the comments from any of the leftists.

Over and over they'll all tell how the stimulus was a success, how Obaaamacare is working, and on and on and on--everything the Shit Midas touches is gold in their minds, to their telling.

So yeah, it is racism to them. There is no other reason why people would "disapprove" of the person behind all these successes BUT racism.

You, I and everyone not a leftist can say, "hey, you know if all of this that Obaaama has done is such a success, where's the actual results?"
The leftist will manipulate the data, cherry-pick the framing and crow loudly, "See, it is so a success!!"

That's the problem, when you crawl into the mind of a leftist--they, by force of will, see success where none can realistically be claimed.

And we'll never talk them out of it.
So your policy disagreements are merely a ruse, a pretext, a facade for your racism.

48 The real problem as I see is completely racial.

It seems that most, if not all, of the folks in Congress investigating the Administration are not African-Americans.

Eric Holder just believes that he would be more responsive if they were African-American (i.e. looks like him).

The proof ... Rep. Elijah Cummings wants information on "True the Vote" ... the IRS complies, in fact it asks questions of "True the Vote" for Rep. Elijah Cummings.  All non-African-Americans are still waiting.

You get the picture, Eric Holder is discriminating against non-African-American members of Congress.

However, many in the public misinterpreted the design and thought it was meant to represent the Roman god Mercury, thus resulting in the coin being known as a Mercury Dime.

86 So two "overachievers", but only in the sense that practically anything they've achieved (and I would not deign to guess what they consider their achievements) is wholly and solely due to their having benefited from affirmative action preferenences, lack the requisite maturity to toss aside their affirmative action crutches and stand on their own two feet. What a surprise. And they are merely the vanguard of an entire generation of petulant and resentful fellow beneficiaries of misguided statist benevolence.

The degradation and debasement of the country I constantly refer to includes, prominently, this racism and race-baiting.  From the highest, most powerful government positions in the former republic.  Disgusting, and outrageous.

 

Yet, as always, I would say it has almost nothing to do with these uninteresting, unintelligent, talentless wastes of oxygen (Obama and Holder) who would never have been in any positions of significance if they had not identified as black.  It is the country itself.

 

If pathetically inept and ineffective idiots like these two can degrade their offices and the nation with their vile antics, what does it say about the country?  Would a Klansman spouting insane s**t from a powerful podium find much resonance with the populace?  No.  Would he be tolerated.  No. 

 

The country (the GOP, the electorate, the "institutions") are reflected in the despicable crap these people pull.  Either through cowardice, or self-seeking, or cluelessness, or laziness, or shared repugnant and idiotic beliefs - this degradation is on everyone's head.

153 Gizmodo: http://drudge.tw/1p3UGdP In Compton last year, police began quietly testing a system that allowed them to do something incredible: Watch every car and person in real time as they ebbed and flowed around the city. Every assault, every purse snatched, every car speeding away was on record—all thanks to an Ohio company that monitors cities from the air. The Center for Investigative Reporting takes a look at a number of emerging surveillance technologies in a new video, but one in particular stands out: A wide-area surveillance system invented by Ross McNutt, a retired Air Force veteran who owns a company called Persistent Surveillance Systems. McNutt describes his product as "a live version of Google Earth, only with TiVo capabilities," which is intriguing but vague (and also sounds a lot like the plot of this terrible Denzel movie). More specifically, PSS outfits planes with an array of super high-resolution cameras that allow a pilot to record a 25-square-mile patch of Earth constantly—for up to six hours. It's sort of similar to what your average satellite can do—except, in this case, you can rewind the video, zoom in, and follow specific people and cars as they move around the grid. It's not specific enough to ID people by face, but, when used in unison with stoplight cameras and other on-the-ground video sources, it can identify suspects as they leave the scene of a crime.

170 Eph 6 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devilÂ’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. /////////////// We know Obama is a good christian man, right?

197 Race and ethnicity are not social constructs. You can do blind DNA tests on a room of strangers and sort them by genetic difference and the computer will group them in racial and ethnic groups. And people of mixed ethnicity will be plotted in between the larger ethnic clusters. Race and ethnicity is real. If those words bother you, you can call it genetic sub-population or something. There's a million scientific papers on this. Last decade has been an exciting time for the field. A lot of research being done on the genetic history of humanity and when various ethnic groups developed and split off from each other. This area is no longer one of opinion, but of objective facts.

Washington Examier: http://washex.am/1kSPM1x


White House press secretary Jay Carney called a Russian fighter jet's buzzing of a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Black Sea one of a series of Russian “provocations” and threatened that there would be costs for Moscow's aggressive actions in Ukraine.



“I can assure you that Russia's provocations and further transgressions will come with a cost,” he said. “Certainly if they go further down the road in attempting to destabilize Ukraine ... the costs will continue to grow.”...

208 Brit may be correct but then he's a beneficiary of white privilege so who's going to listen to him?

As long as you allow even SOME little bit of acceptance that blacks have been oppressed, then all of it comes into play.

And you can't say this one is oppressed and that one isn't.

It doesn't work that way although it should.

Because blacks are human and what human can resist the opportunity to blame someone else for their problems or their miserable life.

Very few people can face the fact that with the exception of about 10% of your fate being luck (good or bad) the rest has come about because of decisions YOU made.
Whether they seemed good or bad at the time is irrelevant. Or even if there were NO choice in what you had to do. Although there's always a choice of some kind. Just that some choices are so horrendous that they can't even be considered.

It's taken me YEARS to face up to that one and finally find an acceptance that yeah I got handed some bad situations but it was me that put myself there to where they came about.

It sucks to find out that there is such a thing as karma/fate/destiny and sometimes you just can't fight it and win.

238 You guys should stop complaining.  According to Steve Israel there's possibly a couple of non-racists outside the Dem party.  If you shut up they might be willing to admit that YOU might be one of them.  That could be your get-out-of-gulag-free or kill-you-last card.

239 It seems Joffrey wanted to hold onto the throne, so he hid it under the thatched roof of his primitive hut. The structural support was inadequate and the throne fell through the ceiling, crushing him. Proves the old adage that people who live in grass houses should not stow thrones.

240 Google for "genetic distance map", "human genetic clustering", thinks like that. Lots of research in the last few years. It's quite exciting as the genetic structure and genetic history of humanity is being discovered. And this is all on blind DNA tests. Nobody is asking anyone to self-classify or to classify other based on appearance. It's automated sorting and identify of human genetic clusters -- and those clusters turn out to correlate pretty well with pre-existing racial and ethnicity categories.

I flip the script on them. I say that anyone who voted for an inexperienced idiot just because he's black, is the racist.
Non racists look at qualifications, not race. By any standard, this guy was not qualified. He simply wasn't.

It's gotten to the point with me that people that keep using the the race card are really just to stupid to have a conversation with.

242 This just in: Obamacare promotes racist drugs. Deliberately. Many ACA policies force Blacks to use Beta Blockers and Ace inhibitors that are known to be much more effective in White patients. When asked, the HHS office and the Obama administration refused to respond.

Obama walks into a bar.

 

The bartender says,  " What can I  get you to drink"

 

Obama replies, " What does me being black have anything to do with wanting a drink?"

 

Perplexed, the bartender says,  " I'm sorry , what?"

 

Obama replies,  " Are you refusing to serve  me because I'm  black?"

 

The bartender says,  " With all due respect,  I  don't know what you are talking about"

 

Obama replies,  " Sorry,   I accidentally pushed the race card function on  my teleprompter"

With my son home on leave after his Afghanistan deployment, he, my daughter and myself went around visiting family so that everyone could see him and spend time with him. On one of our visits, my paternal aunt (a marvelous and spunky 91-year-old little old lady) had a photo album with a photograph (daguerreotype?) of my Native American Great-grandmother Elizabeth. 

 

Turns out my Great Grandmother Elizabeth had been widowed prior to her marriage to my great-grandfather. Prior to his death, her first husband had been a well-to-do farmer but when he passed away, relatives from his side of the family swooped down and claimed the farm for their own because Indians weren't allowed to own land at that time, in that place.

 

Okay, what happened to my Great-grandmother Elizabeth was outright injustice and racial discrimination and everything else. What happened to her was awful, and I can only imagine how she must've felt about it. That said, those awful things happened to her, not me, and they happened about a hundred years ago. I cannot use the discrimination against her as any justification for my own personal failures nor can I warp my perceptions or twist my reasoning enough to make myself believe what happened to her entitles me to anything. Besides, like famed Native American Senator Elizabeth 'Fauxcahontas' Warren, I don't look like an Indian. I have blue eyes and (before it turned gray) blonde hair.

 

My point?  It's time to turn in the race card, to completely eliminate racial categorizations in all official government documentation unless that information is used as a purely physical descriptor such as height and weight are purely physical descriptors. Both Obama and Holder are weaklings for playing it.

I'd rather you stuffed AtC through the USB port.

There's a rack vs. height engineering decision which can only be safely pondered while she's away.

Well, Raylan's family started out on the wrong side of the law. Maybe he hooks up with the black Marshal who, I take it, is now running the division.
