Who’s the Racist?… Rep. Cleaver: White President Could Be Pushed More Than What We Would Push Obama To Do

Racist?… What?…
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) told MSNBC that black politicians would press a white president more than they would press Barack Obama.
Real Clear Politics has the video:

Sounds pretty racist, huh?

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Missouri) on getting something done about high black unemployment:

“A white president, frankly, could be pushed a great deal more than we would push President Obama because nobody would accuse him or her of having partiality towards African-Americans. So its a tough spot and it also mean we still have a long way to go in terms of race relations in this country and the President has, I think, moved through these troubled waters about as well as any African-American could become the first black president.”

Are liberal nutjobs just too stupid for words? Hey MediaMatters….yeah you, we know you’re reading this, are you going to boycott racist Cleaver too?

YOU CAN’T DENY YOUR HISTORY.

LIBERALS = HATE = INTOLERANCE = RACISM

It just keeps happening again, and again, and again……

A Democrat, and a Black one at that, said what?!?

Wow, and Bill Cosby was nearly lynched because he had the temerity to say the Black so-called leaders were making things worse.

I believe that a real journalist with the hard questions has never interviewed the Obama since he took office.

I can’t imagine what Politicians are saying about Obama both democrat and republican.

But my instincts tell be that it is not great. It has to be the color of his skin and I have been discussing this with a friend today.

Turns out a President who has been so belligerent, incapable to sit down one on one with both parties and discuss the Jobless rate and our failing economy should not hold the office of the presidency.

Some blacks like Cleaver are interested in blacks unemployment and that is bad but it is also bad for Whites and other colors. When Obama has stalled our nations productivity by not accepting XL pipeline and gives favors to his contributors to his campaign for 11 failed Solyndras, promises to shrink government and in the same breathe ask for 1.2 trillion after raising our debt 5 trillion and a downgrade by Standard and Poors, then who of any color will ever find work. It is a failure for Obama to think government can create us out of this mess.

So, for Cleaver and all others black and white it is time to take the bull by the horns and once and for all CALL THIS PITIFUL EXAMPLE FOR A PRESIDENT OUT. ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Patty commented:

Those who voted in 08 figure that we would get ourselves on a track to prosperity. That doesn’t seem to be the case. Now, we have seen the “so called work” of this “president” and who among us voters ever imagine that Americans voted for this. When something is wrong it is wrong. When something needs fixing WE MUST FIX IT.

Color of a person’s skin is the last thing Americans were thinking about when those who voted for Obama were thinking. If any voting was looking at color with racism in their mind then he wouldn’t be president.

Well, this was more than they bargain for and since then all the blacks seems to be calling out everything and everyone but the real source of their problems. OBAMA

Because he is black they darn not give their true opinions or they would be called racists.

Catch 22

What happens when things get so tight that just paying the extortionist to go the hell away isn’t an option anymore? We’ll find out soon.

Patty commented:

So here we all are stuck in the middle. The voters staked their claim to Difference, Speeches, Promises but never knew what was to come. A president that went so far left and away from our very values and strengths that have always made us great.

LIVE WITH IT CLEAVER.

So much for judging the President on the content of his character. How fitting on this day, of all days, that Rep. Cleaver admits that he judges the President primarily on the color of his skin.

Not the slightest bit surprised.

Obama had a typical white grandmother…There is no excuse not to PUSH Obama for your fair share of the money he gave away to gay white men in scam green jobs.

But I mean didn’t Obama indicate that “whites and other non blacks” weren’t his people? Ergo who could hope to attach the Dear Leader or better put why bother? Obama has set the standard and said its a racial spoils system. Then I’d expect any white president to abide by the standards that blacks have set.

THE EMANUEL CLEAVER QUOTE:

“A white president, frankly, could be pushed a great deal more than we would push President Obama because nobody would accuse him or her of having partiality towards African-Americans. So it’s a tough spot and it also mean we still have a long way to go in terms of race relations in this country and the President has, I think, moved through these troubled waters about as well as any African-American could become the first black president.”

THE EMANUEL CLEAVER TRANSLATION:

A white president, frankly, is gonna’ get slammed twenty times as much as President Obama because, after we gin up our voting constituents, no black man will ever believe that a white president will treat African-Americans fairly, much less have partiality towards them.

So it will most certainly be a tough spot for a white President and it means that our people (not “The People”, of course) will still have a long way to go to insure that we get all we are entitled to get. Because they are black, I think that we have had our way with this current President, the Department of Justice and our special puppets in the Congress, in having all of them unethically and criminally navigate the waters of legality and Constitutionality about as well as any collection of racists could have hoped to have.

I am sure ALL Americans would welcome West or Cain into the WH. Its not the color of one’s skin that matters. Carter isas white as white can be and he failed. He was replaced.

Nuff said

It’s Woodrow from Sanford & Son. I wonder where Shelia Jackson-Lee, I mean aunt Esther is today… maybe covering statues of George Washington to honor MLK or maybe having a town hall while ignoring her constituents.

You want to see a society in decline. Look no further than the places who elect vile trolls like this useful idiot.

To everyone who says it’s allowed, even those using satire, I say… HELL NO! The DAY being called a racist is a suing offense is the day we can start concentrating on real problems! This isn’t a game! People are fired, shunned, throw out and treated as outcasts once someone calls them a racist. If the worst thing to certain people is being a racist, I would think being called one without proof is a lawsuit waiting to happen! Once they get a few of these out of the way then the “whole deck of race cards will fall!” – *I will coin that*

I am the racist because I HATE all liberals! Since most blacks are liberals and vote liberal, that means I hate most blacks. I can accept that. There is my proof of who and what I am. I also a hypocrite because I am a God fearing Christian who was not taught to hate the person, instead to hate the sin, but years of expose to liberals, leftist propaganda, communist minded people, failed indoctrination, true racists and just vile God hating sub-humans has me slow on turning the other cheek. I’m a person, not a Saint. I am also an American loving, Constitution backing, red/white/blue blooded, tax paying, 2nd amendment concealed carrying Conservative who believes in freedom, liberty, private property and GOD given rights! Those of you who want to TAKE my freedom because you think it’s owed to you, those of you who want to oppress me because of my religion and beliefs, those of you who want to control and take my rights from me because of my race and gender because you think something is owed to you, take a number and stand in line! I had nothing to do with the past, but I will be damned if I let you ruin the future.

It’s time for work. A lot of people on welfare are depending on me!

Robert commented:

This is an admission of how they use the race issue to apply pressure against white politicians.

It is also giving Obama a pass for what he has not done, because he would presumably be accused of being partial toward blacks.

In other words, white politicians are to be pressured and black politicians are to be excused, just like in society at large.
