Although MSNBC did not use the above headline in its latest report about the U.S. Presidential Race, maybe it should have:
Yes, MSNBC makes Obama out to be a victim of a world where evil whites oppose him just because he is Black. As evidence, MSNBC quotes a few Obama campaign workers who claim to have heard "racist insults" from a handful of whites who said they would never vote for a Black candidate. But the fallacy here is one of presumption due to a biased sample. Because, if whites really were too racist to vote for Obama, then why did so many whites vote for Obama? Data from the primaries shows that Obama captured nearly half of the white male vote east of Mississippi and "Obama barely lost among white voters in California", 42-45. Funny how the media tries to build a story about "white racism" by blowing three or four random comments out of proportion and ignoring the real and verifiable news, which is that all Blacks are standing almost unanimously behind Obama. For example:
Why is this not being reported? If it is racism for a person to not vote for a candidate because of race, what about when someone supports a candidate simply because of his or her race? 92% of Black voters supporting somebody is not attributable to his race? The last time somebody did this well among his voters was in 1938, when Adolf Hitler returned to his native Austria and asked if they wanted to be part of a Greater Germany super-state (and yet, modern "historians" even say that election was rigged).
In any case, a 92% Black vote for Obama should raise eyebrows, particularly because of the implications moving forward; if this is what "post-racialism" will look like every time a Non-White candidate runs for office, then America's fate will be the same as every other multicultural state before it. And that, should fortune bring us to that point, will one day be shown to be a fact.
- MSNBC had already made a mockery of itself by proclaiming, without any source cited, in a non-editorial piece, that Obama's campaign is "generating hope." Hope for who? According to who? The same MSNBC article also declares that it is a "lie" to say Obama "lacks patriotism". So, apparently, opinions can be lies, which is an interesting twist. To accept this as a lie, however, it seems we must also clear our memory of Obama's failure to salute the flag during the national anthem, because I have certainly seen more patriotic things than not saluting during the national anthem.
- when discussing Obama's latest campaign difficulties, MSNBC ignored the above incident, the racially-charged rhetoric from Obama, the news that Obama followed around a white-hating pastor for twelve years and even Michelle Obama's remark that on the campaign trail that she is "finally proud to be an American", which implies that she never was before. Instead, according to MSNBC, the only thing going wrong for Obama right now is that whites are 'too racist' to support him.
