Obama paved the way for anti-white rhetoric
You think I exaggerate? I do not.
As soon as I read Woman’s March activist Linda Sarsour’s comment about Nancy Pelosi, I thought, “Obama and his grandma!” In case you haven’t seen Sarsour’s statement yet, it goes like this:
Nancy is a typical white feminist upholding the patriarchy doing the dirty work of powerful white men. God forbid the men are upset – no worries, Nancy to the rescue to stroke their egos.
I discussed the statement in today’s previous post, but now I want to say something different about it. The phrase “typical white” as a form of criticism by people in public life (particularly on Twitter) has been normed and is quite common. And it goes without saying that if the roles were reversed, and a prominent white person (other than an ostracized neo-Nazi) derisively called someone a “typical” anything else (black, Muslim, whatever protected victim identity one can think of), the sky would fall on the person issuing the statement. But “typical white person” is rather typical these days, and merits hardly a squeak of protest—except, of course, from “typical white people.”
And it was none other than Barack Obama who began this trend. I well remember the moment he began to describe his white grandmother as a racist—it made me gasp when he said it. Obama was trying to do damage control when the nature of his mentor Rev. Wright was being publicized during the 2008 campaign:
I can no more disown [pastor Wright] than I can my white grandmother—a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.
That was followed by a radio interview in which Obama called that same grandmother a “typical white person”:
He was asked about his grandmother’s reaction to his potentially being president.
“She’s extremely proud,” he said. “The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she’s a typical white person who — if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know — there’s a reaction that’s been bred into our experiences that don’t go away, and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that’s just the nature of race in our society. We have to break through it. And what makes me optimistic is you see each generation feeling a little less like that.”
Sounds so very gentle compared to Sarsour, doesn’t it? But it is a demonization of white people as typically being racists, which opened the door to what is now a far more extremely-stated version of that sort of “white people bad” sentiment.
It could have gone differently. Obama didn’t have to do this. But he chose to do this. It wasn’t just about defending himself regarding Wright, either. There were numerous other occasions during the 2008 campaign on which he played the race card, as I described here.
It’s called “racial healing”.
(And don’t you forget it!)
Just so glad he’s not stinking up the Oval Office any longer.
I’m not glad he’s still stinking up life on the planet. But that’s just me. I could be wrong.
I suspect the obamas hate all white people, and are excellent actors at pretending otherwise.
Not pretending much. But then I am a typical white person and a Male Senior Citizen to boot. I guess I am in deep doo doo.
Obama says the world would be a better place with ‘A Million Baracks And Michelles’. He wants to create a ‘university of social change’ and unleash the students on the rest of the world to transform it into his vision of a just society.
Imagine his form of ‘justice’ practiced throughout the world. Of couse, he and his elites would be exempt from this as they seem to always do.
Obama and his “wing man,” Eric Holder, stoked racial animosities throughout their tenures.
Obama’s granny made him possible. She paid for everything while her good-for-nothing self-centered, entitled husband indulged his socialist fantasies and schooled little Barry in his ways. Graceless and ungrateful, both of them, and maybe there is some truth in the description of the grandmother as a “typical white” because she is misunderstood, misrepresented, taken for granted, and no one had the stones to tell her off to her face but when she’s dead they spit on her.
AMartel:
Obama’s grandmother was still alive when he made those remarks. She died two days after he was elected, but at the time of his statements she still had her faculties.
Invest in ovens…
its going to get a lot worse…
[boy are some ladies going to be really confused]
its easy to see
oh
you don’t believe me?
ok
tell me where any brake handle is that will even slow this train
As more people on the fringe act out and they are not charged accordingly
What is the message being sent
why not ask the lady that got her face slashed on the platform yesterday
or
the kid who was hit in the back of the head day before
there was a time in the past in Europe when there was on offer a pay off for followers vs regular people, a certain license from a state which became the grantor and taker of rights… given the history of Gutachter’s – it was all stamped signed and made right which is their power (ask ernst rudin)…
we already have a model class who we pretend have rights and laws that protect them, but for most, is useless… back in Europe they too were the first to go as most didn’t mind on either side much back then… or even today… even today, there are places to go that will euthanize
now don’t worry
its not like this train has never ran before, it knows the way
in some places the tracks from its prior history are still in place…
Team Obama was/is a master of this front man moderation and innocence, and rear guard subversion. I suspect that Obama learned from his gaff about the Boston cop who acted “stupidly” when dealing with a black professor. The front man should never attack; that’s a task for his minions.
Obama asks for calm and fairness in Ferguson, then sends in Eric Holder and the DOJ to fan the flames.
PS: It’s Linda Sarsour, with two r’s.
Likely not too unrelated–the new item on this Philly Taco Bell’s menu–would you like a free beat down with that?
See the video at: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6778501/Shocking-moment-Taco-Bell-workers-brutally-beat-customer-girlfriend.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490
To add insult to injury, Taco Bell offered the victims an apology, and a measly $20 dollar Taco Bell coupon as compensation for getting beat up by five of their Taco Bell employees.
Yeah, like he or his girlfriend are ever gonna cross a Taco Bell threshold again.
(Always mystifies me when somebody who has sold you/constructed a bad product or given you bad service wants to “make things right,” after you complain or return the product, by giving you another one–or maybe even more–of their defective products, or a coupon entitling you to even more of that crappy service.)
BTW, Pres. Trump violates that system of a cool and removed front man presentation, with an aggressive but hidden or anonymous group of minions.
1) He developed that aggressively forthright persona on The Apprentice and he’s rather good at it. Plus being upfront and forthright is such a novelty for a presidential candidate. But it’s not very presidential.
2) He doesn’t have many loyal minions. I groaned when he brought Ivanka and Jarred onboard. But who is he going to trust?
3) So now he personally owns all of his positions and tactics.
I was going to watch his CPAC speech but it’s two hours long! I reluctantly read Jonah Goldberg’s piece, and he pegs that Trump speech as a logical extension of his cult of personality.
Jonah Goldberg’s entire schtick these days is bagging on Trump for not being up to Goldberg’s presidential standards (Tweeting! Calling out opponents!! Defending himself from constant attacks!!!) and claiming everyone who likes Trump and/or what Trump is doing is part of a benighted cult (Deplorable! Uneducated!! Ignorant!!!). It’s lonely being one of the few who’s not in the cult, standing athwart history suggesting a return to status quo of caving to Dems 90% of the time.
Neo – You’re so right and I’d forgotten that she wasn’t dead yet when he made that awful statement about her. It kind of makes it even worse that he did! (But I still doubt he went back and said it to her directly.)
AMartel–It wasn’t Barry’s grandfather, it was the black man he found to mentor Barry during his teen age years, Communist Party member and pornographer, Frank Marshal Davis.
Rabid diversity, ageism not limited from conception to sometime following birth, and a profound sexism. Here’s to [unqualified] progress.
Yes, Davis was a mentor but the grandfather was the guy who introduced him to Davis. The grandfather had issues as well.
Have there ever been a POTUS and FLOTUS who together hated their country as much?
Obama the bigot did more than pave the way for anti-white rhetoric; in all the years I’ve worked in New York, never did I encounter anti-white hate speech directed at me until Obama was elected. Then the black bigots felt more than empowered in attacking me (and others I know) with verbal assaults because of my skin color. Stuck on a subway car with them seems to empower them even more.
I never hung around such situations long enough to find out if any of the hate-filled encounters would turn physically violent. I’m naïve at times, but, not stupid.
So, yea, while the left blames Trump for racists being empowered it is only because it is exactly what they did with Obama – empowered racists/bigots. Only because it is against white people they think it doesn’t matter.
There’s no doubt in my mind that the Obamas deeply hate both America and whites. That liberals don’t see it, demonstrates how willfully blind they are to the truth and how warped their view of reality. Many of them are literally incapable of accepting reality.
I always believed Obama was a racist along with his wife. His display of racism was subtle but glaring if that makes sense. His comment that his grandmother was a “typical white woman” was the tell tell first sign. What the heck is a typical white woman?
No man who loved his grandmother would ever speak about her like Obama did about his. And notice how he talks about HER love for HIM – but never says he loves her. The ultimate narcissist . I knew then and there he was a soulless creature.
Obama paved the way for lots of things.
I like the take on a famous saying of his, repeated over and over, found at

Try it for yourselves.
I hated this. Molly Brown, yes. The grandmother who stood by and raised him when first his father and then his mother abandoned him, the one who was there for him and spent her days and her money taking care of him and making opportunities for him, labeled and used for political advantage just because it was rhetorically convenient, a few moments before she died, too late for her to respond in her own voice and speak the truth. I am a grandmother and I can imagine what this would be. The serpent’s tongue.
Molly Brown; Mrs Whatsit:
In the post I wrote the night Obama gave that speech in which he mentioned his grandmother that way, I wrote:
I see no reason to revise that judgment.
Also, in a post I wrote the next day, I added this:
Follow the link and you can see the more complete story as told by Obama in his own book, and the magnitude of what he did to his grandmother becomes clearer, and his grandfather played the role of stirring up trouble. It’s really quite a story.
Obama’s grandmother’s reaction was memorable: “Oh well.”

Brilliant – and kind of scary.
Because we know what happened when the voters believed him.
As Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, “One may smile and smile and be a villain.”
Obama was so wrong in so many ways–and all these tells stood out, right from the beginning.
Yet, tens of millions voted him into office–twice.
What does that say about the perspicacity of those tens of millions of voters?
Obama wouldn’t have won office, though, if the MSM hadn’t covered for him at every turn, been massively and deliberately incurious about his background, record, and associations, papered over practically his entire life with lies, and viciously attacked anyone who offered up some truth about Obama.
There is no question that Obama, with associates like Rev. Wright and the Ayers’, is a radical racist who fundamentally hates whites. He exploits whites as he has his entire life, and holds whites in contempt for being so easily duped.
Since his election, I’ve held the view that Obama has set race relations – in terms of what whites actually think – back fifty years.
Now I think it’s worse than that. Whatever comity between blacks and whites had developed in the last half of the 20th century is pretty much gone. Not for all individuals actually dealing with specific persons, but in terms of the possibility of real trust on any sort of general level.
Anyone who ever attacked Obama, or anything Obama said, or anything he did, or any policy he had; any and every disagreement with Obama means one thing.
And one thing only.
You’re a racist.
And that’s a fact.
It is actually Dem anti-Rep media, more than Obama himself, which started and continues this pounding about racism.
It will only be reduced, never stop, when more blacks get sick of being on the Dem plantation.

Note that once the arrogant and self-congratulatory members of the MSM conceived of themselves no longer as mere reporters–whose job it was simply to find out the truth and to, “without fear or favor,” report it fully and completely but, instead, that they were now “agents of change,” and Social Justice Warriors–fighting for a worthy cause–and, thus, entitled to twist the facts, to lie for the “greater good” of their worthy aims, well, the twisting of the truth and the lying just kept spreading, until it has taken over and contaminated virtually everything they supposedly “report” and assure us is true, unbiased reporting, complete and correct,
They’ve dug the hole deeper and deeper until, now, it is impossible for them to go back, to climb out of the hole that they have dug for themselves.
So now there they sit, discredited–totally untrustworthy in the eyes of an increasing number of people.
They’ve done it to themselves, and they have no one else to blame.
The quote by the cockroach dovetails perfectly with this quote:
“Nancy Pelosi is a white feminist. White feminists are white supremacists. Nancy Pelosi is a white supremacist. And if you idolize Nancy Pelosi, you may as well declare allegiance to David Duke.”
— Saira Rao, Justice Democrat candidate in 2018,
after Speaker Pelosi allowed a House vote to condemn anti-Semitism.
Under President Obama, public opinion polls on race relations tool a huge hit. Before Obama, a solid majority of Americans said that race relations were at least “good”. By 2015 (before President Trump), the situation had reversed, with a majority saying that race relations were “bad” or “very bad”.
—-
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
— Martin Luther King, Jr.
Obama is a POS, he went out of his way to stoke push black people to hate whites.
“Nancy Pelosi is a white feminist. White feminists are white supremacists. Nancy Pelosi is a white supremacist. And if you idolize Nancy Pelosi, you may as well declare allegiance to David Duke.”
Would that happen to be THE David Duke who’s been so enthusiastically hearting Ilhan Omar?
https://www.dailywire.com/news/44367/former-kkk-grand-wizard-david-duke-omar-most-ryan-saavedra
A most curious circularity seems to be emerging:
– Proglodyte with rather daft logical skills produces silly syllogism to prove that Pelosi is a “white supremacist”.
– Real white supremacist falls head over heals in admiration for another proglodyte whose forte is virtue signaling while slandering others—a real rabbit-hole romance.
– All involved squeal in morbid delight as they earnestly threaten their perceived enemies and wreak logical havoc in the name of morality (and, most importantly, the acquisition of power).
– Rinse and repeat.
Thus is born the salamander that eats itself.

Or perhaps a moral moebius striptease.
Curiouser and curiouser.

John McCain lost my allegiance (such as it was) with his statement that, “Nobody cares about some old washed-up terrorist.”
Well, I cared a LOT.
If Ayers had actually been “washed up” and forgotten, that would have been one thing.
But he was active in politics, academia, and society, and was lauded and feted instead of being hated and scorned, by BOTH parties.
I voted for Sarah Palin.
Funny how the racist description of his grandmothers fear of mugging being racist yet sounding very similar to Rev Jessie Jackson’s statements who was released to find the footsteps he behind him were not the footsteps of a black mans.
The funny thing is white people are actually a minority on Earth. If the “people of color” get their wish to kill off whitey or marginalize him so much he can no longer produce and innovate how do you think the world will do? It’s just like the Socialists hating Jews, killing the Golden Goose because they are jealous and willfully ignorant.
Hussein is going to copy his mentor, Bill Ayers.
This anti-white rhetoric is actually a positive because it will start to re-form a white identity. Europeans dominated the 20th century (because of a superior culture) to such an extent, that their descendants lost the concept of a white identity because it was so pervasive.
That is going to change
Demoncrats created the white racial delusion, in order to combine Irish/Scotts/slave master aristos in the battle against inferior blacks and mulattos. It was so bad that Missouri created the Mormon Extermination Order because Joseph Smith allowed and promoted marriage of white Saints with black migrants or Indian reds.
Not exactly a proud American history that is put in the history books.
Obama said it because he and his wife are racists …
Barack, though, being the ONLY black president, is our “typical black president”.
Y left out the polygamy bit that was an abomination to the predominant culture. But other than that it’s all true. /s
Ymar is running loose again. Lock him up before he runs into something and breaks his nose.
As for Barack Hussein, many of us saw thru him from the get-go, a smooth-talking, jiving brotha, all mouth, who couldn’t make a free-throw. But we were outnumbered by voters who were either 1) college grads or 2) blacks, a linkage of the best-educated (harrumph!) and the least-educated: both brainwashed.
Tells you about the state of “higher” education, which has become an absurd travesty, no longer a joke. My “elite” liberal arts college gets about $71K per year now if full pay, but it is a “sanctuary” campus, self-proclaimed, a home to unwashed illegals! Sounds like Pelosiville.
Higher ed is about living the lie.
