CBC: We’d be marching on DC if Obama were white…
This is the story (I’m sure many of the best bloggers around have already hit this.. Well at least the ones that aren’t too PC)
Story found at Hot Air
As chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, [Cleaver] has been at odds with President Barack Obama over his administration’s response to the soaring unemployment rate in the African-American community.
Nearing 17 percent, joblessness among blacks is at a three-decade high and almost twice the size of the overall unemployment rate. The black caucus wants the president to do more.
But the group’s efforts are freighted with political sensitivities, given Obama’s unique role as the first African-American occupant of the White House and the sometimes untethered animosity that his election has triggered.
“If (former President) Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House,” Cleaver said. “There is a less-volatile reaction in the CBC because nobody wants to do anything that would empower the people who hate the president.”
I read a post by someone yesterday I think, that asked you to substitute every “African-American or Black” word in this story with “White” and change the name to “Eric Cantor” instead of Emanuel Cleaver (D-Racist.) And ask yourself does this seem racist? If you answer yes, then you must consider this statement by the “Congressional BLACK Caucus” racist and it should be condemned as much as it would be if any WHITE group said it.
What I find funny in a dangerous way is WHITE people are not up in arms over this. Black folks in power are throwing the race card all over the place and 99.9% of the time they are DEAD WRONG. But we allow it or “You’re a RACIST”…
Okay folks here goes the part of the post you can send to Attack Watch…
