Clinton and Obama's Race Pandering
It was entertaining to read and listen to the speeches given by Hillary Clinton and H. Barack Obama in Selma on the anniversary of "Bloody Sunday." Obama toned down his usual "articulate" self in his speech. One has to wonder if he every pronounces "before" as "befo" when he isn't trying to make himself sound like a "real black person." Clinton, who typically eschews talk of religion, and whose mid-west accent is very prominent, turned on her black evangelist tone when addressing the crowd. Being the wife of "America's First Black President" must give her some credit on its own, but she had to go and make herself sound like an illiterate former slave when she quoted hymns and paraphrased biblical quotes in yet another attempt to fool America into thinking she's something she is not.
Offensive? Yes. Yes she is.
It is amusing, though, to watch the white yankee woman and the black man that many in the African-American community think isn't white enough, trying to battle for what they see as the rightful heir in the next big election to the black legacy. Neither of them is qualified for this heir-esy, and yet they think they can just show up and paint on the blackface and fool the community into accepting them as their own.
It's also quite funny to see how they push government as the solution to race problems in America. It was government, in the hands of white Democrats, that prevented blacks from voting. It was white Democrats that formed the Ku Klux Klan and lynched black men, burned black towns, and terrorized black communities. It was a white Democrat that blocked the schoolhouse door against integration. White Democrats fought to keep slavery. White Democrats fought to keep blacks on the back of the bus. It was even a white Democrat that stole Obama's chances of ever being the first "black president" in America.
Oh yeah, it's offensive.
Today's white Democrats fight to keep blacks in America's failed public school systems. It's white Democrats who fight attempts to better our education system, saying it will have negative impacts on "minority students" (black students are, in their eyes, incapable of keeping up with higher standards) It's white Democrats that fight any attempt to reduce the role of welfare in America. White Democrats fight for racial quotas.
Based on their policies, you'd have to conclude that white Democrats think that blacks in America are too stupid for a better education system, too incompetent to get a good job, and too useless to take care of themselves.
Oh yeah. It's very much offensive.
There they are, though, down in Selma. They're down there trying to fool the black community into more of their horrible policies. These are policies designed to hold back, dehumanize, and keep black America in it's place.
The answer for black America is the same as it is for the rest of America. Work hard. Save your money. Get a good education (and take your kids out of public school). Look to those who do these things as your heroes, no matter their race, creed, religion, or sex.
And, above all, throw the Democrat bums out.

At Rosa Parks' funeral, Hillary's husband recalled how he and some (white) childhood friends, inspired by her example, sat in the "colored" section of a local bus. The only trouble is that during Mr. Bill's childhood, neither Hope nor Hot Springs had bus service.
Then there was Hillary herself, claiming to be named after the man who climbed Everest, even though she was born several years before Sir Edmund's famous climb.
