Uprooting the New Racism
by Pat Buchanan
In his Philadelphia address on race, Sen. Obama identified as a root cause of white resentment affirmative action — the punishing of white working- and middle-class folks for sins they did not commit:
"Most working- and middle-class white Americans don't feel that they have been particularly privileged by their race," said Barack. "As far as they're concerned, no one's handed them anything. ... So when they ... hear that an African American is getting an advantage ...

manipulating Obama's words, not what he said, selectively picking quotes and mashing them together for a completely different conclusion, read entire speech... sheesh this gets tiring! obama specifically stated that these concerns are legitimate for the white community. something i learned long ago in grade school is you have to read the entire page and not just select ceratain sentences and mash them together for your conclusion. it won't tell you what the entire page was about. reading everything and drawing the correct summary is hard, you have to actually think.
Pat must think i'm in kindergarten or something.

I do believe that Pat is jealous of Barack Obama. It's pretty much all he talks against. Any time anyone who talks up for Hillary, when they did not do so before, has to be jealous. ENVIOUS!!!!!! He saids that some men have man crushes on Obama. Well that makes me wonder, does Pat? Thats all he comments on even if it is in the negative. How can Pat comment on black people and racism and he doesn't know how it feels to be black and what some black people had to go through. Was he ever a slave who got beat day after day? No. Some black people had to listen to demeaning words and not be able to a anything back.

Can't we all accept the fact that Pat and his sister, Bay, are the perfect incarnations of that outmoded verb: to bray--Bay brays all the time, Pat brays herein and every Sunday on McLaughlin. Good Irish Catholics both, perhaps they should just have a drink and relax, the world will go on quite nicely without them--but, please, stop with the who has suffered more meme--it is so Nixonian, so Clintonesque, so last century.

I love reading your articles, preacherman. I can just feel the hatred and resentment that must have been festering inside you for years over these very subjects. How glad you must be to have the opportunity to tell the world how you really feel, because surely you wouldn't preach this "stuff" from your pulpit now, would you? It thrills me that you expose yourself and your racism in such lengthy ramblings....the "Pot calling the kettle black." The hate and fear is just dripping off your words. You should read your own words, whatever message you have for another, it's the message you need to learn. Others may have a log in their eye they need to remove, but you my friend, you are just plain blind. No curing that except pray God will open your heart so your eyes might see. As I've said before, I'm sure God's got a nice place all warmed up and ready for you. Have a nice day.

Pat Buchanan's point of view on racism is on track for this white girl living in the South. Back in the 80's my Dad was passed over for a supervisors job at the post office because the job needed to fill it's black quote. After the other man got the job, he talked on the phone all day doing nothing with regard to work. Another time as my Mother worked at a Vo-tec., blacks came to go to school in the Cedar Program. They sat there doing nothing but painting there nails. Oh yeh, they got paid big bucks for just sitting there. I was called racist because I was trying to collect rent from our black renter. He was behind in rent for over a month. I tried to work with him even tho he only gave me 20 bucks at a time. I could go on and on giving more examples; but, what the hack, I'm sure the other bloggers will just bash me. Unless, you have walked in my shoes , you have no room to criticize me or anyone else that comments on this one-sided "all are equal" point of view. By the way, I asked a blogger on youtube "why the racism and hate from Pastor Wright?" He told me, " you fool, all blacks hate whites." Oh excuse me for trying to treat everyone equal.
