"Alienating Blacks with Progressive Kneejerking"
This is what many black Duers have been saying during the HRC debate and primarying Obama. We are in the black community everyday, we hear the talk on the ground.
This is a short post on Bob Cesca's blog. He gets it and this is exactly what alot of us have been posting about in the last couple of weeks.

Alienating Blacks with Progressive Kneejerking
Suffice to say, I've been wary of the recent spike in progressive criticism of President Obama -- the kneejerk labeling of his presidency as a failure, and the inexplicably weird move to team up with race-baiting teabaggers and wingnuts.
Aligning with race-baiters and labeling the president a failure -- especially this early -- can only result in the alienation of African American voters, who, even if they don't agree with the president on every policy, hold the president in very high esteem -- and rightfully so.
Last year, 95 percent of black men, and 96 percent of black women voted for the president. The president's approval rating with blacks is 91 percent, according to Gallup.
Now, I'm not suggesting that accountability is out of the question. I just think we can find a better way to do it than by teaming up with teabaggers with their racist signs and questionable motives.

It seems some racist tension is brewing on the Island.

Those percentages would be nearly identical if the socialists had nominated and elected Marion Barry or Mike Tyson instead of the Kenyan muslim. His vote total and approval rating among blacks has nothing to do with whatever he does or doesn't do while in office.

The irony of calling all who disagree with o "racist" and then suggest that the only reason blacks support him is is race.
How special.

Oh boo-fricken'-hoo DUmmy - you and your pals have called so many 'RACIST!' for denying the Will of The One that you now find yourself mired in the same sewage all of you spewed. Good for you.

I'm not racist.
I only hate Obama's white half.
BTW - why do people ignore the fact Obambi is half white?

There can't be much "racial tension" on Skins's island, given the rarity of blacks on it.
And then there was Skins mausoleuming the only real authentic black man over there, the "Hamden Rice" primitive.

I have been wondering when the folk who voted for the Hoax and Chains dream would begin to realize they had been conned by the "First African American Affirrmative Action Figurehead", this Half-Black empty suit who's strings are pulled by members of the progressive left machine out of Chicago among other places.
Obama, the puppet, sings and dances better than a character from a Shirley Temple movie. I am reminded of the carpet baggers who reinvaded the south following the war of Northern Agression and propped up "Affirmative Action" candidates.
Folk who voted to make history are now finding the history being made is not of their liking.
Hey Vesta, feelin like ya threw yer vote away? Proud to say you mortaged yer children an grandchildren to feel like ya made HISTORY? Figure out how to scrape that Obama sticker off yer bumper yet??

DingDingDing! No more calls. We have a winner.
Blacks do not do a lot to help prove that stereotyping is the wrong thing to do.

I haven't. He's whiter than I am. :-)

Heck, I'd be surprised if a majority even knew his policies. 90+ percent precludes any real political alignment.
