Obama has pushed the "white man" too far

[coalesce]

Let's start with the POTUS and Al Sharpton, who has made a name for himself trying to railroad innocent white people into criminal convictions, and has done so without criticism from any prominent Dems. He has visited the White House over 60 times in the last six years, and often does photo-ops with Eric Holder and Obama. When white people see Al Sharpton welcomed with open arms in Washington, they know where they stand with the Democrats.

As a lifelong New York City resident, I can clearly say two things. One: I sincerely and unequivocally detest Al Sharpton. I hated what he did to the Pagones family during the Tawana Brawley lie. I hated what he did to Freddy's Fashion Mart, I hated his role in the Crown Heights riots and on and on. Two: I do not equate Al Sharpton's visits to the White House as an indication that the President is in cahoots with Sharpton or that Sharpton dictates policy to anyone in the White House. Anyone's who lived through Sharpton's antics first-hand would know that he has as much influence in the White House as a bowling ball has on the orbit of Mars.

Then again, when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Al Sharpton has visited the White House, on average, 10 times a year? Almost once a month?

And Boehner drops by how often?

Please tell me I wasn't the only one with this running through my mind while reading the OP's article.

There's an old saying, which goes something like, " A man is known by the company he keeps."

Obama hangs with Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, and Al Sharpton.

You really don't see that any POTUS is a huge exception to that adage?

I've heard that.

There are a lot of old sayings....

White men can't dance.
Ignorance is bliss.
Life is like a box of chocolates.
Keep your friends close; your enemies closer.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks.
You can't rollerskate in a buffalo herd.
I tell ya, this country went to Hell when we let the ******* vote.

So Eric Holder, Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, and Al Sharpton all 'hang' with Obama? Then shall they be known by the company they keep:- the President of the United States? Or does it only work when you are trying to smear someone with innuendo and tear them down?

There's another old saying, "an anonymous poster is known by the arguments he keeps company with". I see you like to associate with Mr Ad Hominem.

I get that people have a problem with Sharpton. But the other three? This says more about you than it does Obama.

A-***********-men.

 

[quadraginta]

Hmmmm, how many guns has Obama managed to grab?

Ranb

How many did he want to?

They are fond of the scent of lavender, that's what I heard about Sicilians.

That's because of its calming effect.

It must work. We all know about Sicilians' reputation for calmness.

 

[Gawdzilla Sama]

How many did he want to?

He didn't really want any guns at all. He is actually after OUR FREEDOM!!!!!

I have never understood the animus toward the Jewish people. In my view they are excellent white people, even the most excellent of all. I admire them highly.

Perhaps it is simple envy?

They're nothing but Ay-rabs with bank accounts. Ragheads in disguise.

It's all part of a vast plot for a Semitic takeover. The whole radical Muslim thing is nothing but a blind.

They're in cahoots, I tell you.

Cahoots!

Having lived three years just south of Mt. Etna I can appreciate that statement.

A question: being a white 49 year old male, am I squandering my white privilege by working two jobs, six days a week?

Unless you are being pulled over and ticketed somewhat regularly and given cautious looks when you walk down the street, you're using your white privilege just fine.

I liken it more to like the early 1990s, when the Democrats had the presidency and both houses, and ran rampant on spending, leading to a political correction at the polls, leading to getting spending under control.

Or did I just describe the past few years? I can never keep repeating history straight.


Before anyone gets snarky, what is next in line? I rest my case.

 

[Bogative]

The first person to come to mind when I saw the title of this thread was the good Rev. Manning talking about the white folks rioting after being pushed too far by the long legged Mack daddy in the White House.

How many times have you not been pulled over because you're white?
