Militant liberals are angry at Rush Limbaugh again for telling the truth. On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh said the following about African Americans:
"The black frame of mind is terrible, they're depressed, they're down -- Obama's not doing anything for 'em. How is that hoax and change workin' for ya? They're all livid. I mean, they thought there were gonna be an exact 180-degree economic reversal and it's done nothing but get bad for everybody, but they're especially upset about it because they look at him as one of them, and now they feel abandoned. And I'm sure Tiger Woods' choice of females not helping 'em out with their attitudes there either."
Okay, so the Tiger Woods part was unnecessary, but everything else he said was the absolute truth. Obama has not only let down African Americans, but people of every other race as well. However, African Americans, more than any other race, thought he was the magic Messiah. Instead, Obama has damaged the image of African Americans to the point of no repair. He has given into the White racist stereotype that Black men in high positions aren't capable. Unfortunately, Oprah can't do anything about it.
Comments
Obama represents possibility for all minorities and especially blacks in America. He can't do everything and Bush left him a pile of sh__ to clean up. Tiger lacks self esteem or he wouldn't settle for the same common ho's available to the average American. Neither one represents all blacks. I represent myself. Tiger didn't work alone and I'm sure that the top level executives were involved in the same behavior.
How does Rush know the Black Frame of Mind? Anyone can be a critique. Is it fair to say White people are the architects of infidelity, scandal or is it just a few white people. When we do it better it's all the outrage. We've seen this movie (Clinton, Garvey). Stop speaking for all Blacks, I can't even do that.
You sound so ignorant. Obama is one African American man not the entire race... he doesnt prove the black sterotype that blacks are incompetent because that would mean that George W. Bush proves that white people are idiots or that Timothy Mc.Vee who took the lives of innocent americans proves that white people are terrorists...or what about columbine...or virginia tech...or the recent shootings at a military base due to fear of deployment... COME ON!! GROW UP AND THINK...People are individuals and while they may be heros and individuals to look up to...no one can take responsiblity for their entire race...especially because race is a social construction created to justify economic gains...there is no genetic link that says all whites are the same vice versa...or did we forget about the falacy of eugenics... RESEARCH, GET A LIFE, and JUDGE PEOPLE BY THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER NOT THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN... THANKS...
Lisa Carmen I have to say that you are a dissapointment to black women everywhere. I went to school on a scholarship and graduated with a 3.8. Just because you did poorly and couldnt utilize the resourses around you like writing centers or tutors doesnt mean that afirmative action failed you. You failed yourself and then became apart of the system to make yourself feel better by becoming a republican and rejecting your blackness. You are soooo sad... a public school teacher... you mean they let your dumb azz come around little kids??
hahaha i meant to say LISA CARTER in the comment aforementioned... guess you just werent memorable
Thanks Lisa for being an honest writer and not afraid to say what many African Americans think.
Joe, what was your 3.8 in, physical education. Where did you go to college Dip s.h.i.t U. What do you do for a living Joe, work as a low life government employee making $30,000 a year, alot of good that 3.8 is doing you. You would think someone with a 3.8 in anything (other that PE) would know how to spell "a.s.s", you dumb a.s.s!
Lisa, you need to do some serious soul-searching. Obama has disappointed no one but whites who'd never like him and blacks who've mistakenly pinned all their failed hopes and dreams on him. Obama hasn't given in to any stereotypes, but YOU have. How can anyone take this rant seriously? You even look ticked off in your photo. The day you decided that you and Limbaugh see eye-to-eye about the black community was obviously the day your soul died, girl.
I hear Rush is about to marry wife number 4 in attempt to swear off his Ted Haggard / Larry Craig type tendancies. Now I'm not saying all republicans white men are gay, just Rush. Nor am I saying all black men date 11 white women at the same time. Obama's problem isn't that he NOT the black messiah, its that he, like most democrat and republican ideologues, can't think outside the box to fix our nations problem.
Normally I don't respond in these crazy neverending forums, but on this article I had to respond. Lisa, where in the world are you coming from and who hurt you? On what planet (other than the crazy Rush show) did black people proclaim Barrack was the magic (negro?) massiah? The expectation, as you should know, is that he will be no better or worse than any other competent president and should simply be someone that I can point my kids at to show them what achievments are possible. Any rational thinking being knows that there is no such thing as a messiah, magic or otherwise. The only thing Rush and his partner in racist crazy Beck do is earn multi millions off the fears of the ignorant, of which you Lisa, appear to be one.Obama is one part of the three branches of government, of which at least two must agree before legislation becomes reality. As for who he has dissappointed? I think white liberals who expected a sweeping anti Bush more than anything. Judge the man at the end of 4 year
You=idiot
You are a dumb c*nt.
wow are you serious. just short of a year after taking over a country that was ravaged for 8 yrs you expect everything to be ok? all races were let down by the previous president and all races should be understanding that things are not going to change over night. are you honestly a journalist or is this some type of blog deal? youre an idiot.
I'se agrees with de Ms Carter!
As it turns out, the comments attributed to Rush in this post were comments that Rush was reading from articles produced by the AP and others in the MSM. Rush was neither right or wrong but the point that this political leadership has actually made it worse for everyone ... including A-A's is actually correct.
Others who leave comments here that use name calling and other vile devices to show their discontent should be ashamed at associating themselves as being civilized and believing their opinion matters.
Thank you Lisa for your post.
Why does she look soooo ANGRY ??
Lisa...you go girl! I can't believe the filth people have written here attacking you for your opinion. Sheep don't like dissent.
You are an idiot. Sheep don't like dissent?
Typical republican bull-dung.
Lisa: Go look in the mirror and then read a history book about the happenings in America for the past 300+ years, then tell Affirmative Action doesn't work. By the way, if you love Rush so much, why don't you go marry the fat bastard and you can have a bunch of whales...I mean, <strong> children</strong> with him.
Oh wait...he's a flaming RACIST and you wouldn't be allowed to come anywhere near him, much less swap spit with the degenerate. The way you write about him shows that you wish you could, however. They still make skin bleaching cream. Maybe if you use a ton of that stuff and then change your name he won't notice.
Idiot.
You're focusing on the right issues, but you're not doing enough research. You need to do more research. Your posts should help us and provide us with informative solutions - not anger and divide us.
Rush is not a pedophile despite getting busted with bottles of Viagra traveling to a Caribbean destination best known for child prostitution, so everybody stop saying that!
...and Rush really knows what he's talking about here because unlike racist liberals, Rush really likes and feels a deep connection to black people, especially young Dominican boys.
Lisa, I am also black and can't stand Obama, but think Rush is great. I sent you an email. It is such a pleasure having you write because you say things other Blacks are afraid to say. Keep up the good work!
"Thanks Lisa for being an honest writer and not afraid to say what many African Americans think"
^^^^^ And what many Ku Klux Klan members/Racists think as well.
Thank you Lisa for being "a good negro" that knows her place.
And Lisa looks angry because no matter how much she hates her own race, she will never, ever will be fully accepted among whites. She will always be the token black chick with an attitude and a wacky hairdo. Oh wait! Lisa has "good hair"! LOL No afro for you, right? Gotta have that white-like hair, eh? eh?
Are you serious?! Limbaugh actually having solidarity with the black community? I don't know what's more disgusting: Limbaugh's statements as a white man who is culturally out of tune with any black American or Lisa for waking up every morning. In all honesty, blame the political system for the lack of success that Obama had. And it's not his fault, it's Congress and the Senate! 8 years of Bush and everyone expects a quick fix. But if Lisa was smart she'd know not to scapegoat one person....fix the system you dumb turd! Start with the separation of powers and create an authoritarian autocracy where one man can rule by decree, then the "strong black man" can initiate necessary reform. Don't be ridiculous!
Carlos - why must you liberals always divide the UNITED States by skin color? The so-called African-American community that you refered are Americans. We've only known America and it has made us all more prosperous than any African nation on earth. African-Americans are African only to the extent that they allow their thinking to be corrupted by the the lying African victim mindset.
You have some serious self-hating problems, lady. If you weren't smart enough to go to UCLA, you shouldn't have gone. And if you didn't get a good enough education, you should have studied harder, instead of blaming the schools. Oh, I thought conservatives are against blaming others for our own failures. I guess I was wrong. The greatest irony is that these wingnuts you extol can't stand you. They're using you and laughing behind your back. I know.
Jeez, trebuchet5684! This entire discussion is how RUSH divided the UNITED States by color! You want to call out Carlos? That's crap!
