Obama played the race card

How so?

REPUBLICANS constantly played the race card, telling everyone that Obama was going to lead a race war, would only speak for blacks, etc. And yet here we are, almost finished his second term, and it hasn't happened yet. And of course there's the whole "he's black so he must of been born in Africa and is therefor ineligible" thing.

It's much like how they constantly screamed that Bill Clinton was a tax and spend who would bankrupt the country.... And even when his two terms were over, after being FAR more fiscally conservative than Reagan, Bush I or Bush II, they still repeated the claim. Or how Republicans went from claiming that Obama would "go on a world apology tour" to saying that he "WENT on a world apology tour.... without the world apology tour ever happening.

In what way did he "play the race card"? And no, vague mumbling but no real action about the Black Lives Matter movement being justified, doesn't count. You'd get that from a white President, even a white Republican President. White Nationalist panderer Trump excepted, of course.

[Vrede too]

It is so tough being an oppressed white male like Mr.B, awww.

[Mr.B]

"It is so tough being an oppressed white male like Mr.B, awww."

It is so tough being the object of rabid obsession like Vrede so lovingly bestows on Mr.B. ... awww.

"How so?"

That's not a quote by me, it's a meme; didn't you notice? ... but to answer your question ... wait, I just did.

Youu mean you didn't find it funny? Pity.

[Vrede too]

You know how sometimes, children will think characters on a TV show are real people? And that everything you see on TV is real? Like you're staring into an alternate reality or something?

What if we're really all characters in a really absurd TV show? One where Donald Trump is president?

Ted Cruz May Be Trump’s Attorney General

President-elect Donald Trump is considering former Republican rival and Texas Senator Ted Cruz for the position of U.S. attorney general, according to a new report.

Bloomberg cited a person familiar with the matter saying that Cruz is in the running for the job, which was initially discussed as a potential position for former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani, however, is now reportedly being considered for secretary of state....

Poor stupid Mr.B, still mindlessly parroting Tea Party / KKK / Breitbart memes.

That image could just as accurately be labelled "I can't get a job because Obama is a racist." Lord knows Mr.B's crowd declared Obama racist often enough.

Get over it, Naziboy. You may have won the election, but WE won the war.

Run down to CVS; I hear they've got Butthurt Ointment on sale....use it on both ends.

[Vrede too]

Mr.B's source of pride in the election result:

For white nationalists, Trump win a dream come true, says alt-right leader from Dallas



... Spencer, a 38-year-old Dallas native and graduate of St. Mark's School of Texas prep school, is a key intellectual leader of the alternative right, a label he coined in 2008 to describe the radical conservative movement defined by white nationalism and a fervent resistance to multiculturalism and globalism.

In his mind, Trump "is the first step, the first stage towards identity politics for white people."

... He envisions a white ethno-state utopia, devoid of black people, Muslims, Jews, Asians or anyone else without a common European heritage and culture.

... he was influenced by the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche and Jared Taylor, a founding figure in the American white nationalist movement and editor of American Renaissance....

Yep, Nazi worshiping, poor, poor oppressed perpetual victim white males.

[Mr.B]

"Mr.B's source of pride in the election result: ... Yep, Nazi worshiping, poor, poor oppressed perpetual victim white males."

Your bait soured. Never heard of him.
Maybe rstrong will let you use his butthurt ointment. Make him wash the tube first.

[JTA]

poor, poor oppressed perpetual victim white males.

White males are far from oppressed. I don't believe they're oppressed at all, especially in our country. But the past few years it seems to have become very trendy to speak of white males as some monolithic entity responsible for all of the evil in the world.

Do you see the potential problems with this mindset?

I was being sarcastic.

Who says that?

Do you see the potential problems with this mindset?

Less so than the mindset that we're not born with an enormous advantage, that we don't have a responsibility to both acknowledge this and do all that we can to rectify it, and that all the whining from Mr.B and the Trumpettes is justified.

I predict Trump will not serve his entire term as POTUS.....he will either quit, be impeached, or be killed. This scenario will be due to one of two things; God's will, or something else.

[rstrong]

I showed her this to ask if it's true, but she won't fess up. The proof is in the pudding.

In Trump's America Bill Cosby won't have a panic attack every time someone uses the phrase "the proof is in the pudding."

[O Really]

In Trump's America, Bill Cosby would be up for a top advisory job - except that he's black.

[Mr.B]

"I predict Trump will not serve his entire term as POTUS.....he will either quit, be impeached, or be killed. This scenario will be due to one of two things; God's will, or something else."

And why expect things to change after Obama?"

What I said.

"I don't expect things to change under Trump's "leadership". I don't know, but my gut tells me there will be a "change" in the not-too-distant future, and it won't be the "change" that Trump envisions."

"I believe the office of POTUS is just a new toy that he will quickly tire of, and he might just look at himself in the mirror and declare
"You're Fired"...

[O Really]

So Lady O and I have a US alternative to moving to Canada or the islands. Move back to Seattle... http://www.seattlepi.com/local/politics ... picks=true

Go 'Hawks.

[rstrong]

Or move to the Cayman Islands or some other tax shelter country where Mitt Romney and the other 1% store their money. Those places are magically out of reach of the long arm of the government.

There's that. We'd looked at Turks and Caicos. Easy to get residency, low cost of living. But living there is undoubtedly different from the times we've stayed there before. Might just move into the Winter Residence fulltime. Summer in Cape Breton, or Ottawa, or maybe Vancouver; winter in SW Florida (which is Canada in the winter). Forget Trump and the Trumpettes and particularly the NC Legislature.
