Obama's View of "Reptilian" Race Relations

I just posted this to an article on "Politico" about Boy Wonders appearance on "The View"

Its not all race related, though some of it is.

Obama can try to make it all race related, but the truth is there are logical intuitive responses and philosophical issues involved. Unfortunately, when it comes to race Obama doesn't have credibility with any group.

On the philosophical side of this national issue it is clear that Blacks disproportionately identify with the Democrat Party. At its core Democrats push social justice and entitlements to the Black voting block. Whether this is heartfelt or politically expedient is up to the up to the observer to determine. To me, neither is acceptable.

The former, the heartfelt motivation, at its foundation is the assumption that Blacks without the nurturing of the liberal left cannot fend for themselves. This is worst form of bigotry for its insidious, subtle nature that is purports to be helpful when it is pure condescension.

And the second, the political expedient aspect, is pandering to a voting block to which little of real lasting value has been provided since the inception of "Great Society". In fact, one can make a good argument that all that has come about is generational dependency on government.

Either way it is just a Democrat plantation.

On the intuitive response level there is clear evidence from violent crime statistics that it is logical to be weary of Blacks as a group. I live in the San Francisco Bay area and while I count a number of blacks as my friends I am not just going to go into Oakland, Richmond or Hunters Point for a good time on Saturday night nor move to any of those neighborhoods. Until that reality changes there are going to be race issues. To me, however, it is not a reptilian response to race; it is about logic and statistics.

The bottom line is the Democrats are not helping. And the Boy Wonder is doing nothing to help. In fact, is now coming to light from Shirley Sherrod and others that since he doesn't have slave blood he doesn't have street cred when it comes to race. As long at that goes on and Blacks live in the past, it is going to be a slow trek into the future.

As for the present, Obama and his administration have just fueled racial tension by their actions in the Graves case, the neglect of the DOJ in the New Black Panthers case, with Holders "nation of cowards" statement. I for one think the nations of cowards is made up with black leaders like Obama and Holder, and not Bill Cosby, who avoid the real black issue.
