Double Standard

can yell out racism all they want about whatever they want, President Obama will be light-skinned toast with any kind of dialect of his choosing without jobs! Obviously, there are many other reasons for him to go, but that will be the one which decides his fate...go to the bank! Not having a job will never ever cure any "health problems." And his policies of job creation will never, according to history, work. So far he's in the toaster with the gaffes he's made here and abroad and it's going to take some undoing not to come out pretty dark; and I don't mean skin Jeanne

and they will be begging to get segregation back.

Before he's done, Obama will have done more to bring back the N-word among non-Muslim Democrats that Abolition.

Whatever reaction any one of us might have towards racism, you can be absolutely certain that "racism" won't forget US.

I'm still smeared with the "racist" label for pointing out obvious flaws in Uncle O's policies. To all too many people, only racists can find anything negative about the life, campaign and presidency of Barack Obama.

I'm sure that's a warm comfort for the misguided and deluded Obama supporters. But it proves one thing for certain: racism is just as prevalent now as it was in 1964.

But only Liberals are allowed to use it in a negative context.

I guess we do have a problem. We more or less see blacks as Americans, people who can benefit from smaller government, few regulations, lower taxes, better education, more opportunity.

Please advise exactly what it is that blacks, unlike pigmentally-deprived Americans, need. Thanks.

Glenn Beck fans - Glenn is having a shocking, but informative program on his tv show on FOX on January 22. Not suitable for small children.

People that are dark or light have been wonderful or terrible and race has nothing to do with it. We judge by what we see, but there is a big world out there. I have met magnificent people of every shade, that I would trust with my life. There is a characteristic dialect that enables me to recognize a canadian, but I am not prepared to mock them by using it. Democrats have not helped, but have contributed to the needy state of minorities. Their giving makes things worse. Any minority member, that has been able to get out of poverty by honest means has done so because they have self-respect. Accepting gifts without being able to reciprocate make most people feel bad about themselves. Should we lie and say the gift is a right? Or should...

Thank you Karen in NY for explaining membership in the Church. I don't think to many outside the Church understand that. I too am ashamed that Harry Reid is a member of my Church. A TRUE CHRISTIAN doesn't do the things as a leader in Government that he and his Colleques have done. I'm surprised that he is still a member of THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS. Honesty and doing right by your fellowman is one of our principles of Life.
The thing that has caused so much corruption in our country is that we have corrupted people Trying to charge it and CHANGE it. They (a few of them) are determined to take Christ out of our lives and the more they try to do it the worse the corruption gets. I don't understand what the...

You both miss the Point.
Whether these liberal programs worked or helped or failed is not relevant to my point. My point is that African-Americans view Democrats more favorably than Republicans. For the sake of argument, I concede your point, these programs are failures.
If so, why don’t African-Americans see it that way? Why do they still Overwhelming vote Democrat? You conservatives have a perception problem. Maybe unfair, but perception is reality.
You can pass the buck to the liberal media or Democrat lies, but in the end, conservative polices do not target minority issues. You both are very good at criticizing liberal programs, but offer no solutions to the problems facing black America. Liberal programs may have failed,...

First of all, blacks always had full membership rights always in the Mormon Church -- what they didn't have was the priesthood, which is not a membership right but a privilege which must be earned, whether you are black or white. It is a shame that this wasn't allowed earlier, but there are plenty of black members now, and they are not resentful of this, they are just grateful, good men. It is only given to men anyway (which is just fine by me -- I don't want the responsibility).

Secondly, it is very hard to find the fact that Harry Reid is a Mormon just about any media source. Which I am glad of, since I am totally ashamed of the fact that this man is a member of my church, and would feel the same way about Ted Kennedy (and...

It should now stand for "double standard".

From now on I will refer to Sen Harry Reid (R for racist) from Nev.

Racists Harry Reid..... has a nice ring to it.

I meant it as a rhetorical question but THANK YOU for your response.

The Nevada voters can certainly oust Reid--IF he runs again. Of COURSE he's now saying he'll run again; if he said he would not, the other senators would understand that he's leading THEM off the cliff, but he himself was always planning to parachute down himself. His support for ObamaCare might evaporate.

But once ObamaCare is safely passed, he can announce his retirement and let another Dem make a bid for the Nevada senate seat he's leaving. Naturally, he'll have to do it far enough in advance of the election that someone else will have a good running start (or he has already told the party in Nevada, and they're busily gearing up already).

Unless ACORN is even better organized that we know, Harry's a sure loser in...

Not being a political expert, I can only guess that people in any region, urban or rural, etc., can be mislead into supporting someone. Remember many people voted for Carter and then by the end of his first term, they could not stand the man.

Even if Reid has been there a long time, when he steps out of line with their view, they have the right to change their vote/support. The same goes for Obama - they may have voted for him in 08', but they are free to change their vote in 2012. Right?

Drat, you said it before I did! (And with help from a genuinely successful black!)

But I think you're off just a little bit. I think Democrats have worked to convince blacks that there's NO way they can move up the ladder, and their only hope is more and more "free" money (now from Obama's stash).

Has it occurred to anyone that the half-black/half-white Obama is the personification of the pre-civil rights rule, "one drop of Negr0 blood..."?

The southern Democrats fought LBJ's civil rights legislation. Without the votes of Republicans, there would have been NO Civil Rights Act.

Before LBJ's Great Society, the black family was strong; after, not so much. Before LBJ's Great Society, blacks were climbing the economic ladder by their own hard work; after, not so much.

Republicans have worked to persuade blacks that they CAN have self-esteem and can earn it in ways other than striving to be first in line at the welfare office.

But Democrats have convinced blacks that their only hope is more and more welfare, and more and more support for unwed mothers and fatherless children (no need to make those daddies grow up and take responsibility for the children...

My question is HOW did Reid EVER get elected in LARGELY rural, agrarian, Nevada? Is there that much White Guilt and Voter Fraud in Reno and Vegas?

Well said, Ray, very well said.

When it comes right down to it, the Democrat Party has held the Black Community in "Political Slavery" over the years. They have kept them in a form of political blindness by making them believe that handouts and freebies are ways to step up the ladder instead of the dignity of hard work and progress on their own.

I am acquainted with a black doctor, a personal friend of our family, who says the very same thing. He believes the Democrat Party "would rather keep us on the plantation and ignorant, than to help us be successful" (his words, not mine).

The Black Community deserves so much better than that - "opportunity not servitude" (my words)

whether they be black or white or purple, will have the good sense to see right through Reid. From what the polls are saying, the people are none too pleased with Mr. Harry Reid. And I hope they give him his walking papers come November.

The Democrats have tripped all over themselves to shore Mr. Reid up from his foul-ups, which are many, just as they have done for Nancy Pelosi. Pretty soon, this scrawny little chicken (Reid) will get his plucking by the voters. And when that happens, where will his Demobutt friends be? They will be busy trying to save their own rear-ends.

Obama is a ship that is slowly sinking - from its own weight of lies, dishonesty, and deceitfulness. Those alone will weigh more than any boulders...

Nature created the races for a purpose, what was it?

If nature didn't intend there to be racism, why on earth do we have so many races?

There is racial identity, is that okay? After all, didn't a higher percentage of the black's (a racial word) vote for Obama because he was black...or at least had some black blood? According to the press, that was racial identity, not racism...can you believe that?

As long as there is a race mentioned in any statement; as long as there is a requirement to identify race on any government form, we will continue to have racism.

To be racial is natural, and racism is a natural instinct!

Hmmm...guess that is not PC?

Stedes do you feel that putting the Black Community on public housing, on welfare and out of the main stream the way the Democrats have done for more than 40 years, has been good for them or bad for them? Do you think any of this has contributed to their breakdown of the family unit, out of wedlock child births, teen pregnancies, drug addiction and crime rate in their community?

You claim the Democrats have done more for the Black Community than the Republicans have. What have they done? The Republicans have attempted to provide economic opportunity and growth only to have the Democrats knock it back down with higher taxes and big government every time they regain power. Which is best for the Black Community or the entire...

Why would a person need to have a "ne%ro dialect when he wants to?"

Harry Reid approved of Barack Obama as a Prsidential Candidate because he was "light skined" and didn't have a "ne%ro dialect, except when he wants to." Why would he want to? Could it be to deceive others with a similar dialect into believing he was one of them and represented their values and needs?

Doesn't this go way beyond racism? Isn't it really a big red flag saying "we can dupe people into voting for Barack Obama because they will think they are voting for one of their own even though he is actually just another Chicago, liberal elite, with the same hidden agenda as the rest of us?"

Is this not a pretty strong indication of all the...

Democrats have political capital with American blacks. From the Black American point of view, Democrats and have done more for Black causes than Republicans. It is about what you do, not what you say. So Democrats are cut come slack.

African-Americans loved Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton and of course Obama. Can you name one Republican politician within the last 20 years they loved as much?

Conservative social and economic policies do not benefit minorities coupled with their historic rejection of civil rights, recruitment of southern racists and race baiting (Reagan's Welfare queens and Dukakis pardon of Willie Horton), no womder there is a double standard..

I was not saying to be "above the fray." I am glad that Reed's comments received national publicity. I believe that it hurts his re-election chances even further, and that it further exposes the double standard. But, in my opinion to continue to pummel it after 3 days will now do harm to the conservative agenda. It is time to return attention to Obama's softness on national security, the lack of transparency of the health care debate (while simultaneously start mentioning the lack of transparency of Obama refusing to release his college transcripts, etc - emphasizing the pattern of his behavior), and the job-killing aspects of his agenda.
