Has The New Administration Been An Agent Of Change, Or A Throwback To An Earlier Time?
When campaigning for the presidency, then candidate Barack Obama ran on a platform of Change and inclusiveness. What we have seen is anything but, as knee-jerk reactions to current events coming out of this administration have been racially divisive, not inclusive. That, not to mention a lot of other things.
Some Examples Of The Race Card Played By The Obama Administration
- President Obama saying a white police officer in Boston had "acted stupidly" in arresting his friend, Professor Gates for disorderly conduct before the facts were known.
- Press Secretary Gibbs suggesting that criticisms of then Supreme Court nominee Sotamayor were racially based.
- FCC diversity czar Mark Lloyd said "There are few things, I think, more frightening in the American mind than dark-skinned black men."
- In a particularly aggregious example, a case of voter intimidation against the New Black Panther Party, already won by the government, was dismissed by Eric Holder of the Obama Justice Department.
And the list goes on...

Don't forget the new Obamacare tax on Tanning salons (after Obama promised no new taxes of any kind on people making under 250,000/year). I guess he meant naturally dark-skinned people.
Don't forget Michelle's appearence at an NAACP rally -- clearly an official endorsement of that racially exclusive organization. In the post-racial America that would elect a black man as President, the NAACP should be moot; instead things like a visit from Michelle and a little race-baiting by NAACP official condemnation of the Tea Party as harboring racists turns race relations in a surreal direction.
how about redefining charges of racism as hate speech. Wouldn't that yeild some interesting results?
And many more. Mine was a very short list.
Please, this is much ado about nothing. You people have been hollering in the woods about so called "Black" racism toward people of European decent. A-Merry-Ca was, still and will forever be a racist country. It was founded by displacing the native population, by kidnapped slave labor and by exploiting the various immigrants to these shores. I find it funny that a "Black" looking guy is currently sitting in the Not So White House and you people start loosing your collective minds. The work that the NAACP does is still needed. Anytime a bank, such as Wells Fargo, pushes "Black" people into sub prime mortgages, when they have the same credit scores as European-A-Merry-Cans, the NAACP is still needed. Whenever businesses discriminate against people of color, the NAACP is still needed and this list can go on all damn day.

After the unfortunate experience of wading through the verbal sewage that followed your opening statment, I realized that your prologue refered to your own comments. Then it all made sense.
Your very convincing attempt to write as if you were an America-hating, anti-white moronic racist blathering on about imagined injustice and spreading the baseless divisive rhetoric of envy and blatantly rewritten history almost fooled me.
But then I read the first line again and realized everything you wrote after that was tongue-in-cheek.
Very funny!
Why would it be such a big deal for Michelle to attend the NCAACP. If you look at history White political candidates have visited every where. Even during Katrina the PRESIDENT was flying around looking at a debacle and still did notthing. That worthy to speak on , not tanning saloons getting taxed. Please
You racis bitch
