In Memphis, another misguided call to racial loyalty
In a case that will sound all too familiar to Atlantans, a black former mayor of Memphis is running to oust a white Democratic incumbent in Tennessee’s Ninth Congressional District, which is 60 percent black.
Willie Herenton’s crass and racially destructive rationale is that only a black person can and should represent a majority black district. “‘This seat was set aside for people who look like me,” Herenton’s black campaign manager told the New York Times. “It wasn’t set aside for a Jew or a Christian. It was set aside so that blacks could have representation.”
The incumbent, Steve Cohen, is a well-known liberal with a long history of support for civil rights and social justice. But Herenton rejects that record. “To know Steve Cohen is to know that he really does not think very much of African-Americans,” he told a local radio station. “He’s played the black community well.”
Fools and jerks, in other words, come in every color. Herenton, who resigned as mayor this summer, already faces a federal corruption investigation for highly questionable real estate dealings while in office. So like many scoundrels before him, both white and black, he’s hoping to use racial loyalty to blind voters to his failings. I hope the voters of Memphis recognize that approach and reject it.

Well, you can’t even count on a murderer to think normal in this country any more. This country is going to the dogs. Anyhow, I see where somebody kilt this woman in a lab at a colledge and hid her body behind a wall. Now, you got to admit that’s just downright weird. I know if I kilt somebody sort of accidently on purpose and didn’t want nobody to know I done it, I would be thinking of all kind of ways to get rid of the body. Maybe cut it up in pieces and haul it out in trash bags. Maybe put it in a barrel or in a trunk and haul it off. The very last thing I’d think of would be to take down a piece of wall, hide the body in the space, and then go to the trouble of nailing the wall back up and painting it. I tell you, this country done gone bat-sh*t crazy since this Obama took office.
Anyhow, I ain’t suprized by what’s going on in Memphis. Fact is, Those People don’t want some white guy in office for them. How long’s it been since they kicked old Sam Massell out as mayor of Atlanta? Seen any White people in that office since then, or even any White people running for it? Well, same thing for Memphis. It don’t matter this guy thinks like Those People and takes up for them in everything. He just needs to look in the mirror and see he’s got the wrong color skin. They ain’t never going to be happy till they get one of their own in Congress. And he ain’t one of their own, no matter how much he thinks he is.
And you can just watch what happens in the Atlanta mayor race shortly to see it’s all true. This White Mary Norwood might could be a librul and be one of Those People in every way but skin and lead in the polls now, but she ain’t got a Chinaman’s chance.
That’s my opinion and it’s very true. Have a good p.m. everybody.

This situation alludes to an even more egregious example.
What I am about to write will rile more than a few feathers. (Hopefully on both sides of the “divide”!)
I contend that BHO is NOT a good candidate for the average (in economic terms) person of color.
Does he advocate for a living wage? NO.
Does he support efforts to end environmental racism? NO.
Does he promote the enforcement of consumer protection laws, especially against the terrible abuses in low-income communities? NO.
Does he advocate for the shifting of power to the under-represented? NO.
Does he seek economic justice for those who’ve had their money stolen by Wall Street crooks and swindlers? NO?
Does he have ANY kind of plan for non-entitled lower and lower-middle classes? NO.
In fact Obama has never been associated with any comprehensive program toward the bottom 100 million Americans who are poor.
Those are the sad facts.
And other men, who happen to be melatonin-challenged with such plans will never even show up on the color-blinded left’s radar…

This is a follow up to Jay’s earlier blog.
Here are some highlights from the AP Wire on Obama’s speech to Wall Street.
*******************************************
From the Associated Press
updated 1 hour, 2 minutes ago
NEW YORK – President Barack Obama sternly warned Wall Street Monday against returning to reckless and unchecked behavior that had threatened the nation with a second Great Depression.
Even as he noted the U.S. economy and financial system were pulling out of a downward spiral, Obama warned financial titans on the first anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse that they could not count on any more bailouts.
He credited his administration and the $787 billion stimulus package rammed through Congress in the first days of his taking office for pulling the country back from the brink.
“We can be confident that the storms of the past two years are beginning to break,” he said.
And even as the economy begins a “return to normalcy,” Obama said, “normalcy cannot lead to complacency.”
Nevertheless, Obama said, “Instead of learning the lessons of Lehman and the crisis from which we are still recovering, they are choosing to ignore them.”
His tough message warned the financial community to “hear my words: We will not go back to the days of reckless behavior and unchecked excess at the heart of this crisis, where too many were motivated only by the appetite for quick kills and bloated bonuses.”
Yet regulations have not moved. Much of the legislative motivation in Washington has been consumed by the contentious debate over changes to the health care system. Government intervention into private automakers such as General Motors have left lawmakers skittish to move further into corporate board rooms. And it’s not as if another collapse is obviously imminent.
Five of the biggest banks — Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America — posted second-quarter profits totaling $13 billion. That’s more than double what they made in the second quarter of 2008 and nearly two-thirds as much as the $20.7 billion they earned in the second quarter of 2007 — when the economy was considered strong.
*************************************************************
I noticed that Goldman-Sachs, JPMorgan-Chase, and Citigroup are three of the five banks mentioned that turned more than double the profits they did last year in a good economy. They also were three of Obama’s top ten campaign contributors. It’s funny how coincidences like that happen.
However, Obama was stern. They won’t pull that stuff again.

From what I can tell, their “argument” falls along two lines:
The shiftless, Cadillac-driving welfare queens with nine children are too genetically stupid to see that the Republicans are their dear friends, with their best interests at heart.
This in spite of the MOUNTAINS of evidence proving otherwise. (Chuckle out loud.)
Or that they know the Democrats prefer a permanent welfare state NOT directed as much towards the vast corporate welfare state preferred by the conned.
I may be missing another angle on this, if so, please let me know…

Since the black population in this country is roughly 16%, even if President Obama got 100% of the black votes cast, it would not translate into a victory for him or anyone else.

People tend to forget that Obama is only 50% black, so he belongs to whites as much as he belongs to us. And history shows, whites have a longer track record of being bigoted and racists than we do.

I saw quite a few of them wearing t-shirts. I’ve even passed many with bumper stickers on their car. It’s impossible for him to be elected without serious support from whites. Minorities alone would never give a candidate a nationwide victory in any type of election unless whites did not vote in massive numbers. Based on the numbers, Obama came away with quite a bit of the white vote.

…and AmVet, I’m SHOCKED that you would be on here chiding someone for using more than one name. Speaking of meat….I can recall when you were a HUGE weinie.
Still are.

I’m only trying to make the point that he’s not exclusive to any one race. People always want to categorize him as black, and forget to mention that he’s also white. He was raised with his white grandparents. As for belongs, as long as I help pay his salary, he belongs to me. I know that’s not the best word to use because of the issue of slavery and such, but I also believe slavery has never gone away. Slaves just got better paid, that’s all.

Voter fraud? Do you mean the voter registration forms that they are required by law to turn in even if Mickey Mouse’s name is on it?
As to the second paragraph of your post—huh?

Also, in a sense, I belong to you and everyone else on this blog as scary as it sounds. As long as I work for the government, I belong to the people. If I don’t do my job, I don’t deserve to be paid.
