Team Obama And The Left To Make Race-Baiting A Major Component Of 2012 Election Campaign?

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Lloyd Marcus, singer/songwriter of the American Tea Party Anthem and author of Confessions of a Black Conservative has concluded that despicably, "race-baiting" will be a major component of the left's and the White House's Obama re-election campaign.

Surely, the use of race-baiting on the part of the left and Team Obama comes as a surprise to no one.

Marcus writes:

Recently, a black publication interviewed me for an article, the topic being "Is America a post-racial society?" Then, flipping through the TV channels, I caught a bit of two blacks on CNN discussing whether or not America is a post-racial society. It's coming up everywhere lately.

I am just giving you a heads-up, folks. All this talk about a post-racial society, which sounds like it came out of a marketing strategy meeting, is designed simply to accuse all who are against Obama's re-election of being non-post-racial. In other words, racist.
The post-racial discussion is absurd, divisive, and a waste of time -- a distraction from real issues. The fact that America elected a black man to be leader of the free world confirms that Americans think post-racially. Blacks are only 12% of the U.S. population. Even if every black in America voted for Obama, without millions of white votes, Obama would not have been elected. Are we a post-racial society? Of course we are.

What I find so repulsive is that the left and the Obama administration are well aware of this truth. And yet, they will, without hesitation or conscience, double down on their efforts to inspire black hatred against white Tea Partiers and fuel white guilt to achieve their goals.

Just a couple of days ago Victor Davis Hanson zeroed-in on pretty much the same issue discussed by Marcus. Writing on what he refers to as Barack Obama's most disturbing legacy - racial divisiveness ... he says that we should expect race all the time at every venue in 2012:

Never has America been more assimilated, integrated, and intermarried -- as is evident in everything from politics to popular culture, from statistics to anecdotes. Yet from late 2007 to 2012, Barack Obama has been establishing new rules of racial referencing. In general, his utterances follow a disheartening pattern. When he is ahead in the polls, has won an election, and is not campaigning, then he emphasizes the unity of the country. But when he is running for president, or campaigning for others, or sinking in the polls, he and his closest associates predictably revert to charges of racial bigotry, albeit usually coded and subtle. America is redeemed when it champions the Obamas, but retrograde when it does not.

Hanson points to racism throughout the Obama administration (Michelle Obama, as well) ... take Eric Holder, for example:

[...] Attorney General Eric Holder has often found race a convenient refuge from criticism -- most recently accusing his congressional auditors of racism, for their grilling him over government sales of firearms to Mexican cartel hitmen. Again, there is an obvious inference: To the degree that you do not criticize Eric Holder you are not racist; to the degree that you do, you may well be. Holder, remember, earlier called his fellow countrymen "cowards" for not sharing his own particular take on racial relations, as if all of a craven America had now become Barack Obama's clueless Pennsylvania clingers. In exchanges over his office's dismissal of voter-intimidation charges against New Black Panther Party members, Holder described African-Americans as "my people." Again, note the natural corollary once we descend into these racial quagmires: If Holder can talk of his "people," are those who do not share his racial heritage not then quite the attorney general's "people"?

As Hanson goes on to point out, President Obama and his supporters insist that they deemphasize matters of race, but their record in just the last four years reveals a veritable obsession with it, in a manner that was never true of prior minority members serving in high office. In other words, race-baiting and an obsession with race "ripples out from the top."

Unfortunately, the divisiveness of the Obama administration isn't limited to only racial divisiveness, his class-warfare agenda has clearly earned him the title of the most divisive president in U.S. history. And the extent of his divisiveness goes well beyond race and class warfare. No president in recent history has demonized his political opponents in the manner and extent in which President Obama has done time and time again ... nor has any president been more polarizing.
