Spike Lee: Not everyone unhappy with Obama are racist
At some point, a liberal had to admit it. You see, before – maybe just a few months ago – all the people who were unhappy with President Obama’s performance were racists. Spike Lee just realize a few of the unhappy are not racist!
How else can you take a statement like this? From Politico.
“I can’t say to all the people that are unhappy with him that they’re racist people,” Lee said of Obama’s critics. “People ain’t got jobs, people are hurting. So I don’t care what color you are, if people are out of work, it’s tough. And then when you’re the first African American president, that’s not helping either.”

You know it is bad when even ?bama’s black supporters question his abilities.
Abilities?? He has *abilities*???? Whoda thunk it.

Ssooo…. Mr. Lee……. It isn’t helping that Obama is the first African American?
Wait…. I thought you just said ” ?I don’t care what color your are.”?
Are you conflicted?? Questioning your loyalty to?color (Obama is half?white)?and party?because of facts ?!? Yes,?a good liberal should?seek all of the facts.??Set aside race and party?while you question authority to get to the truth.??Let the facts and truth and common sense?break those limitations.? Let out your inner Republican.
Martin Luther King Jr did.?? ?
Pat, you are a riot! LOL! A a good liberal? LOL
NObama is going to hear a lot of disparaging remarks like that ’til the election and for a long time afterward. He has come to be viewed by many in the Black Community as a symbol of privilege. Not their savior. History will judge NObama harshly.
Many people don’t consider MLK, Jr. as representative of the Community, no matter how eloquent his speech and prose. He was/is denounced as too, err, ahem,? ah, cooperative. (Not the right word?)
Mr. Lee’s remarks are a tad conflicted. Perhaps he would like to walk them back a bit?
Wait a sec, PatRiot. If Pres. Obama is half white, as you state, how come he’s referred as black? Should he not simply be another white president?
To be genetically accurate and?correct, he should be reffered to as?mulatto:? The first-generation offspring?of a black person and a white person.
But being called black is most advantageous.? ????
Don’t let outward appearances sway you.??
He is just further proof that?charlatans are not bound by race, party of religion.???
You brought it up. Obama doesn’t like white people. The same can be said of his Attorney General, Eric — soon to be indicted — Holder. Both are quick to play the race card.
Both identify themselves as African-American.
I could care less about the color or sex of my President.?
As long as that President:?
– Fully and openly?meets the criteria for the position.??
– Supports and defends the Constitution.
-?Respects the sovereignty of every individual and that person’s? town/state/country.?
-?Has the humbleness and common sense to understand the need for the balance of the 3 branches of goverment.??And that these 3, together,?must balance with the power of the American populous.
