#65. Barack-Etology (Barack Obama's Fascination with the NCAA Basketball Tournament and his Bracket)


It is said Nero fiddled while Rome Burned. Whether veracious or merely an apocryphal tale, the phrase has come to symbolize a leaders decision to pursue trivial matters and engage in gross inattentiveness to important issues.

Barack Hussein Obama. Mein Obama, the anointed-deity who could walk upon water was the beneficiary of a Nobel Peace Prize for his ability to create the illusion of tranquility.

Kneeling before Zod-Obama” was an act of general obedience from the media, Disingenuous White Liberals and even Republicans while he ran for the White House and it was expected to continue once he assumed the role as President of the United States of America.

Black people supported Mein Obama nearly unanimously, with 96 percent of votes cast by Black people in his favor. To this day, Black approval for him hovers around 91 percent, while support for Obama slides precipitously among every other racial group.

Rallying around one of their one is a hallmark of Black solidarity, an admirable in-group cohesive trait that even protected Michael Jackson upon his death. However, Barack Obama is treading in frightening territory with his ineffectual ability to generate any hope for the beleaguered Black community and little hope of rectifying his Administrations inability to help Black people remains.

Consider, Black people currently have an unemployment rate double the national average:

The unemployment rate among African Americans improved slightly in February, shrinking from 16.5% to 15.8% for the month, according to Labor Department statistics released Friday. In contrast, the overall jobless rate remained steady at 9.7%.

Despite the contraction of the African American jobless rate, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis says there is still much work to be done.

“There is an extremely high number of unemployment in the African American community,” she said. “We want to work with Congress to make sure that more money is available to programs such as Pathways Out of Poverty, which targets high unemployment areas through unique job training opportunities such as retrofitting or weatherizing.”

The Washington Post reported worse figures in late 2009:

Joblessness for 16-to-24-year-old black men has reached Great Depression proportions -- 34.5 percent in October, more than three times the rate for the general U.S. population. And last Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that unemployment in the District, home to many young black men, rose to 11.9 percent from 11.4 percent, even as it stayed relatively stable in Virginia and Maryland.

Perhaps worse, the government under George Bush made a push to augment the number of Black people who owned their own homes and to accomplish this feat banks were pressured to give loans that yielded precious little hope of being paid back (in fact, the sub prime mortgage fiasco triggered the Recession we are currently in and that disproportionately affects Black people). Thankfully, those redistributionists polices to help long suffering Black people own their own homes through judicious lending can be written off mere predatory lending or ghetto lending by the Obama Administration.

However, Obama still has the problem of Black unemployment to deal with and the prospect of filling the payrolls of Federal Agencies (Black people are overrepresented in almost every Federal Agency) any further with Black bodies doesn’t bode well for a government already projecting massive deficits and having a budget that continues to pile up ungodly debt.

Indeed, The Siren Song of Diversity appears to be nearing as the prospect of helping eradicate the gap in unemployment between the races with government jobs isn’t a viable option:

Statistics on this “blackening” of the government workforce confirm what many know from their humdrum encounters with the government. EEOC figures show that between 1980 and 2005, the number of blacks in city and state government rose from 619,000 to 1.1 million, an increase of 481,000 (U.S. Statistical Abstract 2009, Table 446). A recent detailed study of black employment at federal agencies found almost universal massive over-representation. This is especially true where job requirements are modest.

So, for example, in the U.S. Court Services and Offender Services, blacks compared to their general population numbers were over-represented by 808 percent. Remarkably, over-representation also existed in more “technical” agencies: NASA (49.4 percent), National Science Foundation (318.2 percent), Security and Exchange Commission (112.6 percent) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (68.3 percent). To be sure, many of these “black” positions in technically-oriented agencies may be menial, for example, custodial work or clerking. Even so, the pattern is unmistakable—government to the rescue.

The State of Black America appears to be in virtual disrepair, and Obama is powerless to bring about legislation or change that could provide a momentary remedy to the problem (passing health care legislation would undoubtedly create thousands of jobs for the needed bureaucracy that Black people could fill since paying for health care is included in SBPDL).

The Black Caucus isn’t happy about the lack of attentiveness or care Obama shows to his fellow Black people who continue to Kneel before Zod while all others stand in defiance:

As Congress focused almost exclusively on health care late last year, the Congressional Black Caucus loudly complained that rising unemployment among African Americans was not getting enough attention. To express that frustration, one bloc in the 43-member group briefly withheld its votes for a key bill that Democrats were trying to pass. The caucus released a list of demands to include in the legislation that would create jobs in low-income areas.

But as the "jobs bill" winds its way through Congress, civil rights groups say the various versions of the legislation are not directly addressing the problems the caucus wanted to fix. When the House passed its $154 billion version in December, it did not include a request from black lawmakers that 10 percent of the money in each of its provisions go to communities where at least 20 percent of the people are low-income.

Black leaders are discouraged by Obama’s lack of a Black agenda and his failure to help his community. The Audacity of Hope is meeting the Actuality of Hopelessness, but Black leaders remain defiant to the bitter end.

Tavis Smiley wants Black people to talk about how Obama has failed. All Barack Obama wants to talk about is how his 2010 NCAA Basketball Tournament bracket will do:

In perhaps the most critical week of his presidency, with health care reform legislation on the line, President Obama, like millions of Americans, took a little time out for March Madness.

At the White House Tuesday, Obama filled out his NCAA men's and women's basketball tournament brackets with ESPN's Andy Katz and Doris Burke.

Despite his well-known love and deep knowledge of college basketball, Obama did not completely leave politics at the door as he explained his tournament picks.

The hoopster-in-chief picked the top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks to win the men's tournament -- a somewhat safe pick from a president who ran on a campaign promising change.

View President Obama's NCAA bracket


Barack-Etology as it is called is merely Obama’s picks for the March Madness that is a problem for millions across the country. Obama loves basketball and millions of his fellow citizens also love the 65-team tournament to crown college basketball’s champion.

At a time when Black people face a crisis of incredible proportions, Obama is having fun with ESPN and putting out a bracket that is dissected with efficacy by basketball enthusiasts:

First Fan Barack Obama has revealed his bracket prediction for the 2010 NCAA March Madness basketball tournament. He expects Kansas, Kansas State, Villanova and Kentucky to make the Final Four, with the Kansas Jayhawks winning overall. (Watch Obama fill out his bracket on ESPN.) What do the president's selections reveal about him? The commentators weigh in:

1. He plays it safe
"Barack Obama is a front-running, risk-averse elitist," says Josh Levin in Slate. "Just like in 2008 and 2009, when Obama proved unwilling to make any outré selections, he's gone this year with conventional first-round upsets: Siena over Purdue, Murray State over Vanderbilt, and Cornell over Temple." But if he "wants to win his office pool," he's going to have to pick more upsets.

2. His sports imitate his politics
Remember that the president correctly picked the winning team in his 2009 bracket, says Dan Shanoff in Newsweek. Using that experience as a guide, "Obama's bracket success" seems to closely mimic his political successes: He starts out slow — "stumbling" in the early rounds — "then closes fast and decisively." If it plays out like this, expect "championship moments ahead for Kansas."

3. He has faith in the power of a good leader
"The most revealing aspect of Obama's picks was his reasoning," says Johanna Neuman in the Los Angeles Times. When deciding between Michigan State and Maryland, Obama chose Michigan for its superior coaching. The choice "is an apt metaphor for a president trying to win a historic legislative achievement."

4. He consciously makes smart — not politically motivated — choices
"The president’s selections were rooted in basketball knowledge," says Jeff Zeleny in The New York Times, "rather than trying to curry favor with key political states." Need evidence? "Only one team in the Final Four – Villanova, from Pennsylvania – is from a typical battleground state."

5. His subconscious, however, is totally biased
After some number crunching, says Nate Silver at Five Thirty Eight, it appears Obama has a "bias towards schools from swing states." Obama didn't "pick very many upsets. But "just about every time he did it tended to favor the team from the swingier state." In short, the president "does appear to have been mixing his hoops with his politics. Will the nation ever recover?"
Obama did a bracket in 2009 and became known as the Baller-in-Chief”. In basketball, the fear of turnovers is grave and Obama is on the threshold of forever turning over his magic powers of persuasion and likability that keeps Black people in his back pocket.

Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes Barack-Etology, for Obama’s fascination with sports and basketball appear – to Black people – merely fiddling while the Black community in America burns. The Baller-in-Chief needs to call time-out and rethink his policy for Black people, before they decide to cast their lot behind a more appropriate leader. Like Nero, he appears to be fiddling.

SBPDL,

I have many problems with your Bro Barry the half breed, but this isn't one of them.

His interest in NCAA basketball just means he's a dude. That is one thing real men of every race can agree on.

Barry the half breed is going to have to court the white vote to stay in office. The black card is only useful whenever whites are evenly split. We are just the political pawns used to be the tie breaker. If the white support collapses as predicted courting black votes would be meaningless and political suicide.

Remember only the laws have changed, you guys haven't changed one bit. Maybe in another 391 years but I'm not holding my breath.

Maybe you just have mistaken that sudden jack in adrenalin fawning over a basketball bracket for a shot of testosterone. I can think of lots of male oriented activities that better distinguish "real" male attributes than slobbering in anticipation of a court game. One of those might be a faithful husband and family provider and the other extreme might be a "dude" who will go out and stick a wild hog with a knife.

As much as I don't like Bush, it wasn't him who pushed the sub-prime loan deals. That was Jimmy Carter's "Community re-investment act", that was later pushed by good old Janet Reno under Clinton's direction. Remember, Clinton was our first 1st black president before Obama!

So who cares if he does his little basketball tournament deal? After all, everyone needs a break away from destorying the country.

No, I have no interest in NCAA blacksketball, or even professional blacksketball. The africans playing that game did nothing to earn admission to the Universities they attend, except being able to run fast and jump high, and have black skin. This holds no interest for me.

Occasionally, I become delusional and think you actually understand some things, until I read comments like the one above. Could you please explain how blacks are political PAWNS? If a White Presidential candidate ran on a platform of White rights, he/she would be demonized by EVERY POLITICIAN IN THE COUNTRY, not to mention the media. How are you people a "tie breaker," let alone a PAWN? You are the EPITOME of a protected class. Immigration? You people can hate mexicans all day long, if I say I like the idea of a fence... I AM DEEMED RACIST! You people are against gay marriage, if I am against it, I am HOMOPHOBIC! How are you a pawn? I am the pawn! The politicians keep telling me to believe in America, "We The People," taxation with representation, blah, blah, blah...Where is my representation? Why is almost 1/5th of our entire budget spent on welfare? MY FAMILY FOUGHT IN THE CIVIL WAR!!! MY FAMILY HAS FOUGHT IN EVERY WAR SINCE...FOR YOU!!! FOR YOUR FREEDOM! YOU THINK YOU ARE A PAWN?

Political suicide for Barry to court the black vote? Are you insane? You must be, why is Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi's approval ratings in the gutter, while Barry manages to stay in the 40's? I'll tell you why, IF WHITES DON'T AGREE WITH BARRY THEY ARE RACIST! Whites are the political pawns in this game, just as they were from 1861-1865 WHEN THEY GAVE FREEDOM TO YOUR RACE, AND NEARLY ONE MILLION WHITE MEN DIED! FOR YOUR RACE, NOT MINE! There is one difference, we won't be here 140 years from now to give you food stamps, welfare, government jobs, socialized medicine, and an excuse for disgusting, criminal behavior. Your "race" will digress to the state it was in 391 years ago, when your forefathers sold you to mine.

Laws passed by who, african guy? Who? WHITE PEOPLE. We changed. We changed A LOT. Now we are PISSED. You people steal our taxes, murder us, and rape our women. Is it a coincidence that the average life expectancy in South Africa, during Apartheid, was comparable to Europe, when the rest of africa had a life expectancy of almost nothing? Rhodesia has the most fertile farmland on the continent. When whites were farming the land, it was the "bread basket" of Africa. What is it now? Near famine! zimbabweans would be starving if it wasn't for support from the U.S. and Europe. White people. It is YOUR "people" that haven't changed in 391 years. new orleans, haiti, somalia...are there any differences with those cradles of filth in 2010? No. Just like there was little difference between Detroit, Stockhom, Newcastle or Johannesburg in 1950...

Oh yeah, if whites haven't changed in 391 years, WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE ALLOWED TO VOTE AS AMERICAN CITIZENS?

Less than 70 years ago the Nazis slaughtered millions of Jews. Are the Jews living in squalor, and bursting our prisons at the seams? NO!

Less than 70 years ago EVERYTHING was taken from the Japanese Americans. Do they need affirmative action, are they screaming about 40 acres and a mule? zimbabweans got a lot more than 40 acres and a mule, and look where they are...facing famine!


You owe us EVERYTHING, black guy...not the other way around.

Dale Nixon,



Basketball is a sport. I just don't get the racial connection at all. I don't associate with whites outside of work or school. I've always lived in predominately black communities, but some of my favorite movies have mostly white casts. It's called entertainment. It okay to pull the stick out of our rectums sometime.

Blacks are political pawns just like gays, poor whites, children and women. If you paid attention you would realize that. It about political strategy and nothing else.

Black "issues" were used to manipulate mostly poor and working class whites even when blacks couldn't vote. It was called the Southern Strategy, look it up. It was nothing short of pure genius.

It wasn't the black vote that put Barry the half breed in office. The black vote put him over the top. Most of the white vote went to McCain. The election went down political lines. Since over 90% of blacks vote Democrat, Barry the half breed won because he was a Democrat, period.



Besides his whore of a mother having sex with some African dude, what platform of black rights has he pushed besides the ones in your mind?

"MY FAMILY FOUGHT IN THE CIVIL WAR!!! MY FAMILY HAS FOUGHT IN EVERY WAR SINCE...FOR YOU!!! FOR YOUR FREEDOM! YOU THINK YOU ARE A PAWN"

Wow! What makes you think you are unique in that aspect? Most Americans share that background. Including us Negroes.





It would be political suicide to openly "court" the black vote before you improve your numbers among whites. Since most whites still harbor hatred and contempt for blacks any outward gesture would further alienate white voters. I might be insane ,but I believe his spin doctors would agree more with me than you.

You approaching this subject from an emotional standpoint, not one of pure logic and strategy.





Your relatives that fought and died in that war were fighting for a lot of things but it wasn't for me. If you think I full of it pick up a history book. You might find it very interesting.



Laws are passed and changed by people in power, for those in power. You and I are not included in that equation. I'm smart enough to know that having some half breed Negro in the white house is meaningless to my life.



Laws only dictate the behavior of government not the private citizen. This website is proof positive the typical white person hasn't changed despite the laws.

I'm an American so I really don't have an opinion about life in any of the foreign countries you've mentioned. I don't get white people's interest in the city of Detroit. Also considering the fact that there are over 38 million blacks in this country and only 775,000 live in Detroit I don't understand why that place is brought up so much on this site.

" Oh yeah, if whites haven't changed in 391 years, WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE ALLOWED TO VOTE AS AMERICAN CITIZENS?"

It was the desire to maintain political power and control that made it necessary to deny the right to vote for women, poor whites , and blacks, racism had nothing to do with it. You are just an extremely naive person.

During the time of Jim Crow laws in the south thousands of poor whites were denied the right to vote. Jim crow laws were about social control not racism. Those in power just used the racial animosity held by most poor whites to allow their agenda to pass. Those laws created generations of poor whites in the south.

Do see any parallels with that and the McCain campaign trying to use Sarah Palin to manipulate poor whites?

"You owe us EVERYTHING, black guy...not the other way around."

Despite all of your fantasies to the contrary I owe the same people you owe. The Bank, The Utility company, Visa, etc..

So, unless your real name is Bank of America or So Cal Gas, or Edison I OWE YOU NOTHING!

Who is this "us" you speak of? Don't you realize that rich and powerful white people wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire.

Basketball is a sport. There is no other way it can be perceived by normal people, but pure entertainment. Despite the fact that all of my personal associations are black. I still enjoy movies and television shows that feature mostly white casts. It's entertainment. It's okay to pull the stick out of our rectums every once in a while.


"Laws passed by who, african guy? Who? WHITE PEOPLE. We changed."

There you go again with this "we" and "us" crap. How many laws have YOU personally written? I'm going to guess none. You despite being the member of the great white race are on the bottom of the crap pile just like 95% of everyone on the planet.

Barry the half breed is the spawn of some white whore and an African alcoholic I don't speak in the terms of "we" or "us" when I speak of that idiot. Why are you so naive to believe you have anything to do with this nation's history or its future. G.W. Bush wasn't a cowboy and Bill Clinton wasn't a pot smoking liberal. There are part of the corporate power structure. Just like Barry the half breed. I'm not saying that as some hippie and I'm no liberal. I'm just someone who is not a naive idiot.

People who support a wall on the border aren't racist. They're just a little naive. If you were paying attention to the facts the whole thing was just a show. The government approved the building of the wall but didn't include the funding for it. The immigrants that need to be watched aren't the poor ones crawling under a fence to work slave wages . You had better watch the ones with the money and the resources to fly into the country. These people take higher paying jobs and are more difficult to expel from the country. Besides unless the wall is over 40,000 ft. high I don't believe they will be able to stop Aeromexico, Mexicana, or Taca. Don't you realize that American companies have been bringing people across the border for decades?

Religious nuts are against gay marriage. I believe in Live and let live. Adults have the right to love whomever they choose

"MY FAMILY FOUGHT IN THE CIVIL WAR!!! MY FAMILY HAS FOUGHT IN EVERY WAR SINCE...FOR YOU!!! FOR YOUR FREEDOM! YOU THINK YOU ARE A PAWN? "

I realize you think I'm an African, but my family has also served this country in every war form WW1 to the present. I don't know about the Civil War. I'm sure they were a little tied up literally and metaphorically speaking. I also served in the U.S. military.While I was away I thought about many things, the freedom of some random white dude that hates my guts wasn't one of them. I find it very hard to believe that anyone close to you would care about some random black person across town.

Most modern-day spectator sports are simply excuses for unathletic white men to worship athletic black men. The worse the state of the country gets, the more obsessed white men become with a children's game. Bread and circuses.

MY FAMILY FOUGHT IN THE CIVIL WAR!!!

As did mine. But they fought for their own liberty, not for the liberty of blacks. If your family fought for the liberty of blacks then they also fought to put in place the despotic federal apparatus that would become the republic-killing cancer that is today's federal government. It's not something to be proud of.

And I see Black Guy is still up to his old tricks, vacillating at will between "I'm an individual" and "I speak for black people" so that he can't be pinned down. Debating one of these people is about as profitable as a shell game.

Interesting 'debate' you guys have going on here.

Of course this debate is between a man that thinks BET television is owned by whites and a man who thinks the Schutzstaffel gruesomely executed six billion jews.

BET is a wholly owned subsidiary of Viacom whose CEO is a man named Sumner Redstone. Redstone is not a member of my race; you see he is far greater than my kind will ever be.

The conclusion they come to will never change.

He was in that wacky church ,because most Americans are morons that need to see the church going baby kissing crap. It was a ploy to get elected that almost backfired until he reminded white Americans that he isn't really black. Look up his speech on race and see how Barry the half breed pulled a fast one on the nation. Remember a real black person wouldn't need to pal around with Bill Clinton's "spiritual adviser", because we know actual black people.

Who would call Barry the half breed a thug?

The whole Chicago thing is just to validate his black card. Hawaii is a better fit for him.

I agree with one of your points. He shouldn't be in the White House.

Sports do transcend race, as you stated. I agree with this.

The point of this post was just to make fun of Barry the Half-Breed some more (can we say that?), as his support is crumbling faster than an Oreo in a fat man's mouth.

Once the Black community turns on him, it will be vicious.

Critical Thinker said...

Black Guy, your views are very interesting. White people have changed, unfortunately, for the worse. We've gone from being a proud, conquering, innovative race to a bunch of self-loathing wimps more interested in "equity" than results. You can say all you want about how it was only the government that gave black people rights. Well, who voted those politicians into office? Who could easily vote politicians into office that would rescind black rights? White people, that's who!

If we all got together and decided to reinstate segregation (official segregation, that is), we could. If we all decided that blacks can't vote, then no Barack Obama and no black mayors. If we haven't changed at all, how come no prominent black leader has been assassinated over the past four decades? Why do black comedians such as Paul Mooney make great livings bashing whites? Why does this nation spend billions of dollars on diversity training? You get the idea. So yes, in many ways, we still don't like you, but right now we're in this state of guilt and weakness.

Just know that sooner or later, we're going to snap ourselves out of this paralyzing guilt and apathy and assert ourselves. When that happens, I'd advise blacks (particularly well educated, upper middle class blacks), to start showing some gratitude and shut their whiny traps. Yeah, I know that they belong to an "oppressed group" and that they don't measure progress that's been made, but rather how much more work needs to be done. Still, as an "oppressed" minority, you enjoy far more rights and opportunities than oppressed groups around the world. Many blacks are only now proud of their country (and only to a small degree). Well, I await the day that many whites are finally proud of their race.

Old tricks? I fail to see how I'm "vacillating". We are all individuals with unique opinions. Also,when have I ever stated without sarcasm that "I speak for black people"?
Clearly based on the news stories highlighted here and my opinions of them prove that I don't speak for all black people.

The real reason I'm "hard to pin down " in an argument is that I'm not your typical Negro for various reasons.

1. I'm not a fan of Barry the half breed. I never was.

2. I'm not a fan of those modern day race pimps, such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Those aren't the only ones, but I'll stick to the white list to keep things simple.

3. I agree with about 80% of what is said on this site. Minus the paranoid rantings of many of the posters here.

4. I'm not a liberal or some boot licking "black conservative". I'm an independent.

5. I find racism and the response to it extremely funny. My posts should have made that perfectly clear.

You see you and I or more alike than different. I'm not saying that out of some "we are the world" crap. My feelings about whites are similar to your feelings about blacks.

You're just arguing with the black version of yourself.

His support is crumbling. I'm noticing the Anti-war protesters are coming back. That means he is losing the support of his base. The extreme left. Good news for me.

"Once the Black community turns on him, it will be vicious."

It will be vicious, and that day will come soon.

As a black dude that speaks for all blacks I'm stating that whites can freely say Barry the half breed.

Since you love stats I have a good for you. Only 1% of "black" people have a white parent.
Therefore technically Barry the half breed is your guy, not mine

On a side note out of all of the post on this site you guys never touched on interracial relationships. Especially considering Barry the half breed's situation. Why is that? Is the fact that the vast majority of all interracial relationships involve white dudes and Asian chicks.? Just curious.

Black Guy,

Unfortunately, I can't include the portions of your post that I am responding to.


Why would I need rich and powerful white people to spit on me if I were on fire? I don't need anyone to look out for me, or help me. I have worked hard my whole life, and never expected anything from anyone. It's sink or swim, and that, is the American spirit. This "entitlement generation" that has existed for the past 40 years contradicts everything this country was founded on.

Oh yeah, and the "us" that I speak of are white people, the people that have financed this welfare society. Take "us" out of the equation, and everyone else is going to starve. Period.


Basketball is entertainment that I don't care for, just as I don't care for rap, BET, or Tyler Perry movies.


So. Since I didn't write (or vote on) the 13th Amendment, 14th Amendment, or 15th Amendment they somehow don't exist or are less valid? I am not understanding your logic here. White people (my race) amended the U.S. Constitution to allow black people (your race) to be free from slavery, to be U.S. citizens, and suffrage. White people passed, and enacted into law the Civil Rights Act of 1866. I could go on and on with history, right up to LBJ and the "great society," to current affirmative action policies now. That isn't the point, though. The point is this: there would have been no civil rights movement without white people. If we were this evil, horrible race of people trying to exterminate everyone who isn't white, why are we bending over backwards to exterminate ourselves now?

If I am part of of the 95% of people "on the bottom of the crap pile" (based on my tax bracket, I don't believe that), then so be it. I don't need or expect government intervention to improve my lot in life. Even to this day, if you have the ABILITY coupled with a solid WORK ETHIC, anyone can be or do anything they want.



When did I say I HAD anything directly to do with this nation's history?

The comment I made about building a wall on the border, had little to do with immigration. The point was to illustrate the double standard that exists in this country, in terms of immigration. American blacks are notoriously xenophobic, especially when it comes to Hispanics, and to most people in American society, this is acceptable. However, if a white male says anything even slightly derogatory toward Hispanics immigrating to the U.S., he is instantly deemed a racist. This is fact, and that was the point.

I am here to discuss black failure, not immigration. Immigration would be a fantastic topic to debate, but I think we should stick to one topic at a time. However, I am finding it extremely difficult to not comment on the wall needing to be "40,000" feet tall. If you are trying to say that the majority of Hispanic illegals are arriving here by air, well...that is so ridiculously absurd, I find it difficult to muster a response.



Again, my point had almost nothing to do with gay marriage, either. Poll after poll has shown that, in general, blacks are staunchly against gay marriage. Where are the cries of homophobia from the left? If a white male makes a disparaging remark against gay marriage, he is immediately deemed a "hater," "intolerant," "homophobic," etc. That was the point. The double standard that exists between blacks and whites. One set of rules apply for your people, and another set for mine.

Black Guy,

Again, the text was too large to post, so I will post this in two parts.



"Basketball is a sport. I just don't get the racial connection at all. I don't associate with whites outside of work or school. I've always lived in predominately black communities, but some of my favorite movies have mostly white casts. It's called entertainment. It okay to pull the stick out of our rectums sometime."

Basketball is 80% black. The racial connection is very easy to make.

"Blacks are political pawns just like gays, poor whites, children and women. If you paid attention you would realize that. It about political strategy and nothing else."

How exactly are they "pawns?" Who is using them as such, and more importantly, how?

"Black "issues" were used to manipulate mostly poor and working class whites even when blacks couldn't vote. It was called the Southern Strategy, look it up. It was nothing short of pure genius."

"It wasn't the black vote that put Barry the half breed in office. The black vote put him over the top. Most of the white vote went to McCain. The election went down political lines. Since over 90% of blacks vote Democrat, Barry the half breed won because he was a Democrat, period."

43% of whites voted for McCain, so by my math, most of the white vote DID NOT go to the white guy.


"Besides his whore of a mother having sex with some African dude, what platform of black rights has he pushed besides the ones in your mind?"

I don't know how many more rights we can give black people. It is already to the point where whites no longer enjoy their First Amendment rights. They drain nearly one fifth of U.S. tax dollars (welfare, food stamps, head start, and a plethora of other entitlements), and pay virtually no taxes.

What Obama is pushing is a complete redistribution of wealth, which completely benefits blacks. Obamacare is an excellent example.

"Wow! What makes you think you are unique in that aspect? Most Americans share that background. Including us Negroes."

This completely contradicts your initial statement, that whites haven't changed in 391 years. If it wasn't for 'ol whitey, you would still be enslaved.

"It would be political suicide to openly "court" the black vote before you improve your numbers among whites. Since most whites still harbor hatred and contempt for blacks any outward gesture would further alienate white voters. I might be insane ,but I believe his spin doctors would agree more with me than you."

"You approaching this subject from an emotional standpoint, not one of pure logic and strategy."

Really, you really believe that? Do you know how many times Al Sharpton has visited the white house? Al Sharpton has absolutely courted the black vote for Obama, but 'ol Barry's approval rating is still in the 40's. What would Bush's approval rating have been had Jared Taylor visited the White House?


"Your relatives that fought and died in that war were fighting for a lot of things but it wasn't for me. If you think I full of it pick up a history book. You might find it very interesting."

I will agree with you, the Civil War was not fought with the initial intention of freeing slaves, as evidenced by the Emancipation Proclamation being issued nearly two years after the beginning of the war. However, intentions mean little versus the ultimate outcome, which benefited you immensely. And, to answer the question before you ask it, yes, I am completely aware that the Emancipation Proclamation freed no one. I do find history very interesting, and I have read read many books on the subject. You may want to pick up a book and read how South Africa and Rhodesia were once thriving nations, and your people ruined them.

Black Guy,

I will actually have to post this in three parts, this is part two.

"Laws are passed and changed by people in power, for those in power. You and I are not included in that equation. I'm smart enough to know that having some half breed Negro in the white house is meaningless to my life."

Blah Blah Blah. The Government controlling 1/6th of the economy via socialized medicine is NOT meaningless to my life. The government owning our banking system, and 2/3rds of the U.S. auto industry is not meaningless to me either. It won't be long until we are a full-on socialist country, with 50% of my income taxed. Where will my tax dollars be going? Not to benefit me, or my race, that is for sure.

"Laws only dictate the behavior of government not the private citizen. This website is proof positive the typical white person hasn't changed despite the laws."

If the typical white person hasn't changed, then McCain would have gotten a lot more than 43% of the white vote. I would like to rephrase your statement above: "This website is proof positive the typical BLACK person hasn't changed despite the laws." Despite the ungodly amounts of money the U.S. has spent on blacks, what have your people done? They continue to murder, rape, steal, drop out of school, refuse to work, spread disease, and have children out of wedlock (and at alarming rates). But, when 96% of black people voted for Barry, and Chris Matthews was getting a chill up his leg, only 43% of whites voted for the white candidate. Hmmmmmm.....

"I'm an American so I really don't have an opinion about life in any of the foreign countries you've mentioned. I don't get white people's interest in the city of Detroit. Also considering the fact that there are over 38 million blacks in this country and only 775,000 live in Detroit I don't understand why that place is brought up so much on this site."

Since you don't understand the "racial connection" in the NBA, despite the fact that it is 80% black, this doesn't surprise me. Detroit is a black run government, and is the perfect example of what occurs when blacks are left to govern themselves. For example, the murder rate for Detroit in 2008 was 40.6, while the overall U.S. rate was 5.4. Otis Mathis is a real prize also. If you aren't familiar with him, google his name. The educational gap between blacks and whites will become obvious to you. It is difficult for blacks to out-perform whites when (on average) their IQ is 15 points lower.

What happened to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) after a transition to black rule. South Africa? 1st world to 3rd world in the blink of an eye.

Black Guy,

Part Three-

"It was the desire to maintain political power and control that made it necessary to deny the right to vote for women, poor whites , and blacks, racism had nothing to do with it. You are just an extremely naive person."

Well, if I am naive, you must be more so. Based on your response, I can only assume that you believe denying blacks the right to vote had nothing to do with race. That, black guy, is supreme naivete.

"During the time of Jim Crow laws in the south thousands of poor whites were denied the right to vote. Jim crow laws were about social control not racism. Those in power just used the racial animosity held by most poor whites to allow their agenda to pass. Those laws created generations of poor whites in the south."

Voting was restricted to land owning whites. This was absolutely brilliant. It prevented socialist candidates from running on platforms of socialized medicine and cap and trade.

"Do see any parallels with that and the McCain campaign trying to use Sarah Palin to manipulate poor whites?"

If your statement is correct, it didn't work, did it?


"Despite all of your fantasies to the contrary I owe the same people you owe. The Bank, The Utility company, Visa, etc..

So, unless your real name is Bank of America or So Cal Gas, or Edison I OWE YOU NOTHING!"

Nice try at the semantics game, black guy. I was talking about the rights and freedom you enjoy in the U.S., not you owing me money. I am really hoping that that was an attempt at being humorous, as to avoid actually admitting that you owe your liberty to whites.

Black Guy,

You query:

"On a side note out of all of the post on this site you guys never touched on interracial relationships. Especially considering Barry the half breed's situation. Why is that? Is the fact that the vast majority of all interracial relationships involve white dudes and Asian chicks.? Just curious."

Don't worry... I have a running list of over 400 to do (not including future Black History Month Heroes from film and TV - over 50 of those still)... and I have one that is similar to the query you posted.

Silent Running said...

Also,when have I ever stated without sarcasm that "I speak for black people"?

Come on. Of course you're not stupid enough to come out and say that you speak for black people, but virtually every post at this site is met by you saying something like: "Well, I'm black and I don't feel/think/act like that," as though the content of the post indicates some unfair stereotype. The implication is certainly there.

You're just arguing with the black version of yourself.

Look at your own Rule #3, under "paranoid." Several times you've characterized my views on the necessity of racial separation as unrealistic due to the "realities of a capitalist economy" or some such. You do not advocate for separation because you're smart enough to know which side your bread is buttered on. But even if you did advocate for separation, the tendencies and abilities of your race (prone to violence, mean IQ of 85, etc.) would make that view extremely undesirable. Not so with my race. You certainly need us, and we just as certainly don't need you.

So if you want to think yourself the black version of Silent Running, far be it from me to rob a man of his pursuit of happiness. But you're flattering yourself.

"Nice try at the semantics game, black guy. I was talking about the rights and freedom you enjoy in the U.S., not you owing me money. I am really hoping that that was an attempt at being humorous, as to avoid actually admitting that you owe your liberty to whites."

The accomplishments of others that share nothing with me but skin color are not my accomplishments. Think about that one next time you get a boner reminiscing about the "heroic" deeds of white historical figures.

Don't get to beside yourself. You are nothing more than some bored person typing his opinion on a message board. That's who we all are. You haven't freed anyone.

You have about as much to do with George Washington as I do with Malcolm X. NOTHING!

I wasn't being humorous, because money is all that matters in this capitalist country of ours. If money is not trading hands you are useless to me.
