[Breitbart] Playing the race card more overtly than ever before, Barack Obama told Black Entertainment Television that racism is “deeply rooted” in the United States.
In Obama’s interview, which will be broadcast Monday evening, he intoned, “This is something that is deeply rooted in our society, it’s deeply rooted in our history. When you’re dealing with something as deeply rooted as racism or bias… you’ve got to have vigilance but you have to recognize that it’s going to take some time, and you just have to be steady so you don’t give up when we don’t get all the way there.” He warned, “This isn’t going to be solved overnight.”
Aware that his charge of racism might turn a few heads, Obama used the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner to add: “As painful as these incidents are, we can’t equate what is happening now to what was happening 50 years ago. If you talk to your grandparents, parents, uncles, they’ll tell you that things are better — not good, in some cases, but better. We have to be persistent, because typically progress is in steps. It’s in increments.”

Here’s Why Our Dear Leader Race-Baits… This White House also race-baits because they know that all of this bad behavior will come out into the light like roaches in a dirty kitchen one day. They want a defense. If they have ginned up false outrage at white cops and started a race war, then hey, if someone accuses them of criminal behavior, they are a racist!
What better defense than that? The liberals and the mainstream media will run with it! We all know that…and so does our Dear Leader.
So he will continue to stir up racial animosity. He will continue to give credence to the lies from false witnesses who perjure themselves. He will continue to demand civil rights investigations.
Because at the end of the day, he will need this defense himself; so he keeps it going for that rainy day. Link to excerpt from WJ article.

Obama and Holder, the community organizer and assistant have picked the scab of racism until the wound has gotten infected: Travon Martin, Michael Brown, the Harvard incident and others. They have picked up the Al Sharpton (race-baiter) mantra and used it for a distraction from a failed administration.

"Post-racial" Obama is costing the Left. Landrieu was down to 18% of the white vote from something like 30% in 2008. The black vote has consistently kept Dems in the game, but not without *some* white support. No wonder they are desperate for amnesty. Query why Boehner and McConnell are just as excited by it.

Its just sad that our first black president is a flaming bigot. His hate is deep enough to put a black panther in the top cop position. History will not be kind to him..

There are a lot of hard working black people in central Georgia, and they are know when they're being used and exploited. They may not be 'tea party' members, but they are conservative Christians who don't support Champ's abortion, gaye, or immigration agendas. I suspect the dems have lost a great many of these voters as well.

Rinos that are traitors to the people who elected them to the majority. The voters didn't ask them to be conciliatory. The intent of the vote was to give them a spine.
As is so often the case, history will be rewritten for this fellow as it has been for numerous of his fellow democratic scoundrels. One of the advantages of advancing age, I may not be around to be angered by the progressive editing of historical facts.

He is right - blacks of his ilk are as racist now as whites have ever been. He and those like him pre-judge everyone based on skin color: those with the same color as him are blameless, those that differ are the ones at fault regardless of the facts or circumstance.
I say this to the Bosnians being attacked by the black teenagers, just as I would say it to blacks if they were being attacked by white teenagers.
Make sure you go to these places and when you see people blocking your way, run them over. If you don't do that, make sure when they come up to attack you that you shoot them down. If there are any survivors, hang them from the streetlamps.
Make sure the worthless pieces of shit realize that any attack on your neighborhood is revisited on the attackers 100 fold and this shit will stop reeeealllly quickly.

A President Biden would probably not be overtly aggravating the situation with such malice of forethought. Probably in the long term interest of his party which has witnessed the 'white flight' among the working and middle class. Just saying.
[Bloomberg] It's been more than a month since the Nov. 4 election, but we're only just now finding out about some of the biggest campaign donations, including a previously undisclosed spending blitz by Democrats to try and elect Kansas independent Greg Orman.
Perhaps that should be "independent"?
Any political contributions to national party committees and super-PACs made on or after Oct. 16 didn't have to be disclosed until Thursday. The long delay between the late contributions and public disclosure creates an opportunity for mischief and a chance to move big money because super-PACs can raise funds in unlimited amounts to pay for ads independently supporting or attacking candidates.
Senate Majority PAC, a Democratic super-PAC run by former political advisers to Majority Leader Harry Reid, sent about $1.5 million to two super-PACs that promoted businessman Greg Orman, who was running as an independent and refused to identify with which party he would caucus. Orman was ultimately unsuccessful in his campaign to unseat Republican incumbent Pat Roberts.
Senate Majority PAC sent $1.31 million to Committee to Elect an Independent Senate in five installments beginning on (you guessed it) Oct. 16, the start of the veiled disclosure period. The Reid-aligned PAC also sent $151,000 on Nov. 3-4 to Kansans Support Problem Solvers, which also backed Orman.
Orman and Democratic groups kept each other at arm's length, at least publicly, in a state that has a generic Republican lean. Self-inflicted wounds by Roberts and his rusty campaign operation contributed to the senator's vulnerability. Roberts wound up winning by an unexpectedly large margin of 10 percentage points after overhauling his campaign team, sharpening his campaign message around opposition to President Barack Obama and Reid, and riding the Republican wave.
Committee to Elect an Independent Senate also received $1 million from Michael Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor who is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg Politics parent company Bloomberg LP.

It was a desperate, last ditch effort. Dems thought they could apply the Prof. Jonathan Gruber "stupid people" rule in Kansas and lost.

Ah, the story that keeps on giving. Nothing like one's opponent throwing money down a black hole with no return. Is it evil to engage in a bit of schadenfreude?

Thanks (I think) for the compliment Bes! My late FIL once remarked about Kansas that the only thing to do here was work which kept our % of malcontents lower than most metropolitan cities.
The answering machines were full everyday of robo-calls from both parties. Constantly barraging us with lies, damn lies and statistics.
Here in SW KS, where a leading industry is meat packing and agriculture, we are used to the smell of "money". It smells a lot like what I would wager Senator Reid's cerebral(???) fluid might if one was able to detect minute odors.
Doesn't mean I didn't hold my nose to go and vote though.
[National Journal] Democrats have been worried about the African-American vote in Louisiana for months. But what really doomed Sen. Mary Landrieu's reelection bid was the near-monolithic white vote against her.
Landrieu's loss Saturday to Republican Sen.-elect Bill Cassidy followed a November all-party primary in which the incumbent got a lower share of the white vote (18 percent) than all other Democratic Senate candidates in the country but one, according to exit polling. There was no exit poll Saturday night due to a lack of media interest in the runoff, perhaps because even Landrieu's campaign acknowledged that she would need at least 30 percent support from white voters to win another term, a huge jump from her baseline in November.
That's about what Landrieu received when she won her final Senate term in 2008, and her drop-off since then highlights how the white voters who used to be the Democratic Party's Southern foundation have left—and how the party has collapsed without them.
"She came home to a sea of change since she last ran," said Bernie Pinsonat, a pollster in the state. "We don't have any Democratic statewide officials, after her, left. The Legislature is now dominated by Republicans; you don't even need a Democrat to pass a bill. Next year there will be maybe 10, or maybe eight or seven white Democrats left in the entire Capitol building. There's been a mass exodus and not something that had gone unnoticed. I don't know why she ran for reelection." The Dems have made themselves first and foremost the party of blacks. If you're not black you're a racist, regardless of what you do unless you have really big bucks when the fund raising starts. Even then they'll take your team franchise away from you if you say the wrong thing. The party's geriatric leadership tries to keep the number of rubes up by pushing gays, tries for the female half of the population with charges of "war on women," tries for the Spanish speakers by trying to pack the population with illegals, tries for anybody they can term "other," but Sharpton and friends are top of the heap. If you're white you're expected to grovel with guilt and keep your mouth shut if your black betters should decide to slap you around or steal your TV. But they're worried when the guys who're racist by definition don't vote for them.

I predict the trend will continue thru 2016 as long as the administration keeps the same race baiting monolog going. Most all peeps are not racist but get sick and tired of having it thrown in their face constantly. That also includes sexist or gayist or any other ist that is falsely flung at them.

Exactly correct BR, not to mention being sick and tired of PAYING for Affirmative Action, food stamps, housing, single mom payments, health care, hiring and promotion preferences, college entrance preferences, and the seemingly endless other.... hurry up, get your indolent arse out of bed giverment programs that don't work.

It would be interesting to see voter demographics in this and other southern elections. Some geographical areas of largely black. There must have been black flight as well as white flight. Is it possible that this administration is bumbling, inept, self-absorbed, lying, absent vision and floundering and those are the reasons why the voters black and white are running towards an alternative to this administration?

They still play those lines when running a candidate that was nothing more than the stereotypical old male white privilege against a female Hispanic republican in the West. BTW, the female Hispanic republican won too.
[ABC News] Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani “fundamentally misunderstands the reality,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said today on “This Week” in response to Giuliani’s recent comments focusing on violence within African-American communities, rather than questions over police interactions with minorities that have sparked nationwide protests.
“I think he fundamentally misunderstands the reality,” de Blasio told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos in his first television interview since a New York grand jury decided this week not to indict police officers in the July death of Eric Garner in Staten Island. “We’re trying to bring police and community together. There is a problem here, there is a rift here that has to be overcome.”
“You cannot look at the incident in Missouri, another incident in Cleveland, Ohio, and another incident in New York City, all happening in the space of weeks and act like there’s not a problem,” de Blasio added.
You could have solved the problem by asking your prosecutors to indict your police officer for negligent homicide, which the video (IMO) suggests he did. But you didn't do that, Mr. Mayor. Why not?
De Blasio was responding to comments made by Giuliani on Fox News last Sunday in which he said, “I think just as much, if not more, responsibility is on the black community to reduce the reason why the police officers are assigned in such large numbers to the black community. It’s because blacks commit murder eight times more per capita than any other group in our society.”
Giuliani, who had strained relations with many black New Yorkers during his tenure as mayor from 1994 to 2001, later said in separate comments that de Blasio’s response to the Garner case this week contributed to tearing down respect for the criminal justice system.

Funny, I was thinking about those very same incidents this morning and speculating on an entirely different 'problem' - that they are typical, tragic/unfortunate incidents that have happened all the time but THIS TIME they are a newsworthy cause. I feel like there's a force - a conspiracy - MAKING it an issue this time. Why? Qui bono? The race pimps for sure, but has to be something more than that. A 'pay no attention to that man behind the curtain' moment?

I posit that once again the Left demonstrates two alternate universes intersect on this planet. Or it could just be a fractal time shift with each party living in alternate time lines.

de Blasio has been in office a very short time and he feels he can make this claim? So far, de Blasio's term in office is not off to a good start. When you have as successful a stint in office as Giuliani had, you can open your pie hole. Give me a break.

We have to retrain police forces in how to work with communities differently.
Just let Mayor de Blasio’s throw away comment sink in for a moment. Now ask yourself; what is he really advocating? Here’s a hint. It ain’t equal justice.

Someone needs to give de Blasio a good beating with the 'Correlation is not Causation' stick.
You know everyone involved in those incidents also were breathing the dreaded element oxygen at the time (also a leading contributor to Fires!). I say we ban the breathing of Oxygen - starting with De Blasio. Then moving on to Sharpton, Jackson, Holder, etc...
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
