If someone else says it perfectly, then why bother trying. And in this instance, Mary Katherine Ham pretty much summed up why I'm one of those "angry white guys" that have some resentment issues. Here's an excerpt...
The white "resentment" that Obama speaks of does not primarily come from direct effects of affirmative action or the welfare state. It comes from the societal message that the majority of white people, who have had no part in oppressing anyone, are asked again and again and again to take responsibility for ills they did not cause (and, in many cases have been caused by earlier attempts at assuaging white guilt, like paternalistic welfare). They are lectured about creating a healing "dialogue" in which they don't feel free to speak, lest they employ the wrong politically correct buzz word and confirm their "inherent prejudice." They must feel guilt for "institutional racism" when many of them have never been a part of any racist institution. They're flagellated for benefiting from "white privilege" when many of them don't feel terribly privileged at all.
And, despite engaging in this years-long culturally honored guilt-fest to atone for sins they did not commit, they know that they'd instantly become trogolodytic racists in the eyes of the world for one wrong word, while Jeremiah Wright is excused and even applauded in some quarters for a 20-year stream of hate.
Bingo. That my friends is a homerun.
And in case anyone was wondering, Im just waiting and hoping for the moment that I get to tell some racist black asshole (or liberal, self-loathing white prick) to kiss my honkeycrackergringo ass when they dare to call me a racist for having an opinion they don't like. Yep everyone, that's right - I no longer care if I get called a racist. I don' tgive a rat's ass. My gripes and resentments are legitimate, always have been, and anyone out there that tries to push me around with the race card is gonna hear it. Loud and clear. I only hope that the rest of the people out there that justifiably feel the way I do will do the same. There is no room for doves anymore. Stand up and put an end to this bullshit, or shut up. Put the goddamn race-baiters in their place.
I'm out.
Me too MM. I've paid way more than my share for the legal discrimination of
white Americans. And I am just plain done with it.
Agreed MM. Even being considered "hispanic" I've felt this reverse racism
for YEARS now and FINALLY it's coming to the forefront...it's about time
everyone knows what a LOT of black church "leaders" nationwide have been
polluting their members minds with.
Excellent Moonbat!! When does this PC garbage end? At first I thought
that perhaps Obama would be a "uniter"- bull-pucky!! This guy is an
"American Idol Politician." He has the superficial sound bites, looks
pretty on t.v. but has zero substance. After last week's circus and
hearing his "historic" speech, I realize that this guy is a poser. Shame
on him and shame on the news media who give him and his "minister" a pass.
Yep, Codger, you were right. I will vote for John McCain. The Democratic
Party is dead-perhaps it needs to take a long hard look and do some serious
introspection. If the best it has to offer is a lying, entitled
light-weight ex-First Lady and a lying, entitled light-weight South Chicago
politician then call the priest and have a fun wake in Denver.
Heh. Obama is no uniter. No way. And if he really wants to be the
"post-racial" candidate, then he ought to know that he can't be "down" with
J. Wright. The man is a bigot with an ax to grind, and there isn't anything
"post-racial" about his gripes.
