Update:
A commenter today said in response to my posting (below) that I should stop acting stupidly. He’s right – I must BE stupidly. It will carry a horrible and steep price though…
Well Don H., I hope you are happy.
**** Now, on with the post. ****
All whites are racist.
Or is it racist to say that?
Ex-President Carter, who is probably the most useful idiot of our times, now tells us that roadblocks to Obama’s healthcare proposal is motivated by racism, at least in part. An overwhelming part.
Carter - a useful idiot.
“I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he’s African-American,” Carter told “NBC Nightly News.” “I live in the South, and I’ve seen the South come a long way, and I’ve seen the rest of the country that shares the South’s attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly African-Americans.”
“That racism inclination still exists, and I think it’s bubbled up to the surface because of belief among many white people — not just in the South but around the country — that African-Americans are not qualified to lead this great country. It’s an abominable circumstance, and it grieves me and concerns me very deeply,” Carter said.
What bothers me is that his accusation precludes me from having legitimate concerns. I disagree so by default the cause of my dissension is racism, which you can deny until you’re blue in the face but those so inclined will never look past the declaration of your bigotry.
Shall we then assume that resistance to national health care the first time around, virulent as it was then, was also related to race? Of course! Slick Willy… errrrr… Ex-President William Jefferson Clinton was our first black president, and any resistance to his proposal for a boondoggle of epic fail proportions was purely because of his race.
Obama - just an idiot.
If resisting a proposal because it scares the living hell out of me is the definition of racist, regardless of skin color, then yes, I must be a racist.

We have reviewed ourselves and find ourselves to be juuuuust fine.

ACORN to Launch ‘Review’
That’s what independent reviews are all about, right?
Me too. However, I took a slightly different slant on this–as he was in my home city LYING again yesterday.
He didn’t say ALL white people… just those who disagree with THE ONE! Stop bickering and please, stop acting stupidly.
I don’t bicker, I argue. I wasn’t aware that I had done something stupidly. Normally I manage to do something so spectacularly stupid that it is immediately obvious even to me. I must be losing my edge.
But seriously, “I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity” does not leave a lot of room to avoid coming under the bigot-umbrella. My animosity is borne out of frustration that these politicians are gung-ho on doing things that will have long-lasting negative effects for a great many people.
That’s right. White people who agree with the One are not racists. So don’t say all white people are racists, you racist bastard. It’s only people like you who disagree with us who are the racists.
Upon further thought, perhaps I need to stop *acting* stupidly and focus on *being* stupidly.
Grammatically that was a mess. Blood sugar is low.
Anyway, yeah, that’s the ticket.
Hey, I don`t think Jimmy Carter should have been president either. So THERE!
We be loving Jimma carter, for supportin our brotha
Well thank you for your words, Al. Very… wordy.
If you’re not being called “racist”, “evil” or “stupid” you’re not being effective.
Wear it proudly.
