UPDATE - 6/9, 5:45 PM | Lachlan Markay:
One of CNN's primary sources for this piece has endorsed the
notion that "Rev. Wright's anger about the domestic and foreign
policies of the USA are well rooted – and documented – in the
current reality of the USA." Details below the jump.
The excuses keep rolling in to explain why President Obama is
seemingly detached from the oil spill crisis in the Gulf of Mexico.
On Wednesday, CNN.com reached a new low by blatantly playing the
race card: President Obama is afraid to look angry in public because
white people historically haven't liked angry black men.
This conclusion was offered by four supposed experts (all of whom
were sympathetic to Obama), with no one else mentioned to provide
any ounce of skepticism.
Apparently CNN's logic goes something like this: Obama grew up being
afraid of offending white people, so he developed a natural aversion
to public displays of emotion, which means his cool response to the
oil spill right now is the final product of white bigotry.
Read the rest...
1. Since he's half white, is there any
chance that he could accept responsibility for just a little bit of
the blame?
2. I have known since day one that he
was going to find some way to blame this on ME.
3. He grew up being afraid of offending
white people? Bullshit! His very existence is an affront to my
sensibilities. I no longer even like the letters that spell his
name.
