I just read a piece by Dick Morris, the former high level Bill Clinton operative now accepted as a politically savvy “conservative” pundit. In “The End of the Post-racial Presidency” he appears to lament the fact the “Obama is letting his supporters strip away his image of a post-racial president by their increasingly racial rhetoric and his support for radical black activists.” Then he joins the pack of GOP partisans that has gleefully played up “Attorney General Eric Holder’s refusal to prosecute the new Black Panther members so obviously guilty of racial intimidation at the Philadelphia polling places in 2008.”
After alluding to Obama’s pathetic effort to portray as racists people demanding enforcement of U.S. immigration laws, he concludes that Obama “is increasingly taking sides in the old racial debates, reigniting them and lending new fuel to their flames. He is…retreating into the racial cocoon of a supportive minority vote.”
I have no doubt that most people will read Morris’ column as criticism of the Obama faction’s blatant exploitation of race as a political weapon. It may be. But in the process he mistakenly promotes the lie that ‘once upon a time’ Obama was an example of “a post-racial politician.” This was never the case.
Though short on details, from what we do know of Obama’s pre-political career he was a leftist community activist, eagerly implementing Saul Alinsky’s subversive agenda. In his actions and personal associations, he studiously cultivated a racial persona, in order more effectively to exploit the fault line of racial resentment that runs deep through the black American community in Illinois. It also allowed him to exploit the almost pathological fear of stirring that resentment felt by many other Americans since the U.S. politically dismantled legally mandated racism, and socially sought to stigmatize and discourage privately held racist attitudes.
Such exploitation was in evidence from the very outset of the Obama faction’s takeover of the U.S. government. When Eric Holder called the U.S. “a nation of cowards” in respect to race, he was triumphantly brandishing the psychological weapon most responsible for his faction’s electoral success. It remains in play every day, quietly sustaining the ongoing destruction of the U.S. Constitution’s authority.
Ask for action to make sure that Obama satisfies the Constitution’s eligibility requirements for the U.S. presidency, and you’re branded a racist, or a madman willing to risk riots in the black community. Demand security for the nation’s borders and enforcement of its immigration laws, and you’re branded a racist, or a firebrand willing to wage race war against immigrants. Reject the empirically absurd notion that a socialist health takeover will improve the health care system, and you’re branded as a racist who wants Obama to fail because he’s black. Defend the unalienable right to life of nascent posterity, and you’re branded a racist who seeks to deprive poor black and Hispanic women of their so-called “abortion rights”.
On every front, and practically every issue, the Obama faction plays upon the racial faults and fissures of America’s political geology. In the exploitation of racial fears and resentments they have tapped into the political equivalent of geothermal energy. It is and has ever been Obama’s main source of power.
Ironically, this cold-blooded exploitation of race also serves as clever camouflage for the simple fact that in his personal background, Obama has no connection to the heritage of black Americans like me. We are people whose moral and spiritual identity has been forged by their inner struggle with the painful heritage of enslavement. We know the inner strength that can result from deep emotional connection with the morally empowering struggle to end slavery and racial discrimination in America. We know the inner peace and confidence that can result from the spiritual grace that lays to rest the demons of hatred and resentment which would otherwise deprive us of the moral capital resulting from that struggle.
Some people of dark hue derive their sense of community from their share in what they subconsciously still regard as the stigma of skin color. They believe that with a sufficient amount of money and power they can somehow wash or bleach away the stigma. They don’t care where the resources come from. Drug dealing, sexual degradation, cynical politics or government handouts, jobs and political or bureaucratic control: it doesn’t matter. They reach for socialism the way some blacks in previous generations reached for bleaching creams and hair relaxers. They have an “out damn spot” fixation, pathetically driven to remove the guilty stigma of a fault never their own.
I reject Obama for his dedication to the religion of child murder that masquerades as “abortion rights”. I reject him for his clever and deceitfully populist promotion of power mad socialist dictatorship. I reject him for his commitment to destroying the American republic. But somewhere in the deep, emotional heart of me, I especially reject him for his willingness coldly, ruthlessly to exploit the pathetic spiritual and emotional paraplegics who suffer from this racial form of the Stockholm syndrome. As the NAACP’s recent anti-Tea Party screed shows, they are tragically eager tools in the Obama faction’s effort to deploy the weapons of racial destruction against any who oppose them, even the decent majority who are now rising up to reject their destruction of America’s liberty.
Obama was never a post-racial American politician. He exacerbates and exploits the power of racial fear and resentment in his bid to become the first post-American dictator, whose successful implementation of socialist tyranny will make American politics obsolete. Only the free citizens of a republic practice true politics as they choose representatives to make just laws and wield just powers respectful of their God given rights. The fearful subjects of socialist dictatorship have no such politics, but only obedience to rulers with just the power created by their passions and their fears. Welcome to the Obama nation. Whatever the image fabricated for him, he never represented anything else.

I remember as a young child having and associating with both Black, White and Asian children. I knew we were all different in appearance but felt sad that many of my darker hue friends were from poorer families but I failed to understand that though they may have been poor, they still had the freedom to attend the church of their choosing, the freedom to choose how in fact they chose to embrace what luxuries that were right for them. As conservatives have stated time and again, money doesn’t make you wealthy, it’s your love of and from family that makes you rich.
Love thy God with all thy heart and you will be rich beyond that of physical amenities that so dominate our societies today.
Dovetailing off Mr. Keyes article, unless and until we as a Nation demand that all racial-based quotas, set-asides, preferences, ethnic-day celebrations at taxpayer expense, Obama, and people like him, will continue to drum-up racial discord and discontent. Individuals and groups on “the left” need racial divides in order to gain and hold their power. The first step, as I see it, is to enforce ALL our nation’s laws. Second, for more individuals who successfully made our Nation a better place (Dr. Keyes, in point) that coincidentially just happen to be of a slightly darker hue than myself, to speak up about what unites all Americans as Americans. Pandering or playing race cards or establishment of mandatory equal opportunity, destroys individual incentive and creates an environment where individuals must turn to the government, instead of themselves, their faith, their Constitution and their indominable will to succeed and make America greater. Last time I checked, my white man’s blood is just as red as my brother blackman, darkman, redman, orientalman. Just like a dollar looks the same in my wallet as in others. Firmness to the Declaration and the Constitution should be the mantra of the citizens (and those who want to be) of the United States.
I like your analogy using the dollar. But you better check it again. If it has a 3 on it you may find it apropos with the guy in the White House.
And on a further note of Obama not being an authentic black American- his white side owned slaves in America and his Arab side in Kenya owned slaves. So he is more of a slave owner than any other American. Is Obama mad because both Britain and America forced his ancestors to free their slaves?
Perhaps that is why he is a Marxist. He’s found a nineteenth century way to enslave still more people.
