    Angry Vote For Obama Because He’s Black

    The following is part of Cal Thomas column that appeared today.

    Some of his strongest, high-profile supporters in the black community are now saying that Obama’s race, alone, should be enough for black voters to vote for his re-election.
    Krissah Thompson of The Washington Post reports that on “The Tom Joyner Morning Show,” which has an estimated 8 million radio listeners, Tom Joyner, who is black, said, “Stick together, black people.” Joyner’s show reaches one in four African-American adults.
    Rev. Al Sharpton, who also has a radio show and a gig on MSNBC, admonished blacks who have been critical of the president, “I’m not telling you to shut up. I’m telling you: Don’t make some of us have to speak up.”

    Recent Washington Post-ABC News polls reveal a decline in the number of blacks with “strongly favorable” views of the president and his efforts to improve the economy. What people like Joyner and Sharpton fear is a loss of a place at the political table, a table that has been set far more elegantly for them than for too many of the African-Americans for whom they claim to speak.
    What the slide in Obama’s support in the African-American community demonstrates is that increasing numbers of black people are beginning to understand they have been played for suckers by the Democratic Party. They are right to feel this way. Their loyalty should not be to a party, but to themselves, their families and their best interests, which lie outside a welfare system that has locked too many of them into dependence and an addiction to a government check. What they need instead is a reality check.

    Why are people like Jackson, Joyner and Sharpton so racist?

    If a black president cannot be held accountable for his policies and must receive the votes of African-Americans solely because of his race, then all of the marching for equal rights has been for nothing. The question ought to be this: are African-Americans, indeed, are all Americans, better off than they were when Barack Obama took office? By any objective standard, the answer must be “no.” How do black people expect their circumstances to improve if Obama is elected for another four years? If they conclude they will not, why not vote for someone who can create the conditions under which more of them might get a job, for example? Black unemployment is 16.7 percent, the highest it’s been in 27 years.
    Or is Cal Thomas a racist to point this out?

    Obviously such hate speech should be banned and Cal Thomas thrown into a deep, dark hole.

    Characterizing a bad place as being "dark" is racist. Shame.
    The ambassador died, Obama lied.

    If you DON'T vote for Obama, you're a racist. Didn't you get the message last election?

    I know that Cain really hasn't a chance due to a lack of money for a real shot at being President, but wouldn't it be a catch 22 for blacks if Cain ran against Obama?

    Not really. If they can claim Clinton was black, they can claim Cain isn't. They'd hate him from the get-go and the rhetoric against him would be harsher than if he were white.

    Voting for someone because of their race is as racist as voting against someone because of their race.

    The reason this country is essentially dead is because no one cares about "results" or "substance" anymore. All they care about is appearances and brainless slogans.

    I'll say it again...this country richly deserves the fate that's awaiting us. This country is too stupid to survive much longer. Don't blame elected officials! The brainless people have allowed it to happen. The people have the power to change it...but refuse to do so...or are too lazy to do so...or are too stupid to do so. Nice knowing you...

    I say put a fucking purple chimpanzee in the White House if it will address the MASSIVE and INSURMOUNTABLE problems we're facing. Put a polka-dottted camel in the White House if it can solve out debt/deficit problem. Put a pink tiger in there if it can solve our illegal immigration issue. Put a one-legged Umpalumpa in there if he can end the war in Afghanistan.

    Jesus Christ save us from ourselves!!
