#3 the African-American leader is reported to have said Obama was "talking down to black people,"

Paging Mr. Jackson, he's talking down to all people. You only notice the 'black' part because you're a racist who views America through that narrow lens.

#5 They can't say the word, we can't say the word, what a powerful word this N-word must be. More powerful than the truth itself.
Silly ass mother-f*ckers!

#6 Bigjim,

Don't forget there are the other 'N' pejoratives.
Nazi - anyone who disagrees with my politics.
Nativist - anyone who believes in "We the People of the United States.."
They're hurled with the same intent at their targets.

#7 And usually all are hurled by the same people, the aforementioned silly-ass mother f-ers.

#8 The truth is that blacks use the N as we use 'dude' or 'jerk' to replace the name in conversation. The fact that they do so with great regularity and yet no one gets offended is proof that the N sin is a rube, a giant strawman.
Now, once you realize that, why in hell should we even notice them or their supposed offending ?
Yet another reason for me to be a racist.

#9 Now, now people. We must remember when blacks use the term n####r, they use it as a term of friendship and identity, never, ever as a perjorative.

#10 How about this from the comments section:

"Obama has spoken thoughtfully and frequently about the racial inequities and social divisions that continue to plague our imperfect society."

Obama has said that arguably the best economic development plan for black America is to convince them to stop throwing trash out of their car windows. It's true. He said that. Obama has said that black people can help solve their generational ills by putting away the Popeyes chicken. This is thoughtfulness in discussing America's racial inequalities and social divisions? No, no, no. These are things that white people say about black people when they think blacks aren't listening. These arguments rest on the worst stereotypes of black Americans. These are racist arguments.

Obama talks down to black people because he is talking over them to the larger white audience. He is saying what white people think but can't say in mixed company. Obama is a tool of the white establishment. Nothing could be more obvious than this. In fact, he is a tool of the new centrism, which is well to the right of progressive democratic politics. Review the facts. He voted for FISA which guts the Fourth Amendment. He supports restrictions on abortion. He supports executing those convicted of crimes in which murder did not result. He agrees with the NRA's interpretation of the Second Amendment. He plans to expand Bush's faith-based program. He should be running on the ticket of the other party.

My analysis sounds smart because it is. I have the guy pegged because my analysis of racism in America is state-of-the-art. The liberal left has been hoodwinked.

For the record, I was never mesmerized by the guy. Obama is a personality cult. Left liberals have jettisoned their principles to fit with the Dear Leader's proclamations. It's an embarrassment for left-liberalism and progressive democratic politics. You guys look just like the Bush zombies after 9-11 over at Jesus Camp. Obama is your messiah.

I don't know, but I think this is another indication that the worm is starting to turn on NObama. At least I hope so.

#11 In a 'sixties article in "Life" Jackson said he would spit in white people's food when he worked in a fast food place. Yah, he was there when Martin Luther King was murdered. And he wanted that presence stressed so much that he wore a shirt with King's blood on it for 3 days. And don't forget when he took his mistress on a tour of the Clinton White House, while he was giving Horny Bill much publicized "spiritual counsel" after the Monica staining.

He is whatever you want him to be. And you don't even have to ask him, because he already is what you want him to be. Clear?

#13 Why does anyone give this chump air time? He's a frickin' sham, a clown, a withered up old douchebag.

And yes, the word "nigger" is the most overrated strawman today. How much tax$$ and payoffs have we blown due to this stupid two-syllable word? Too much methinx. I think it's retarded when blacks use it - they say it's a form of endearment yet they use it heavily before they down in a fight as well - the whole situation is a load of crap. Whites ought to no better then to use it in front of or toward blacks in a joking or friendly manner because it's tacky & will never come out right.
