Finally – someone has had the guts to say something.
Iowa Congressman Steve King, in a June 16, 2010, FOX article by Cristina Corbinon, reaffirmed his belief that President Obama has “a default mechanism that breaks down on the side of the minority.” Â
While he stopped short of calling the president a racist, saying “I don’t know if I want to go so far as to make that allegation,” King “made no apologies for his comments about Obama favoring Minorities.”
The Iowa Representative meant exactly what he said on G. Gordon Liddy’s radio show Monday: that President Obama favors blacks over whites and “needs to be called to task on that.” He felt he is performing a public service by stating that the President obviously favors blacks over whites.Â
YES – he had done a public service!  President Obama, Eric Holder, and the extremely large number of people in our country that are doing the same thing DO need to be called on it. They MUST be called on it, because to continue this ridiculous facade is seriously harming us all.Â
One of King’s examples was the July 2009 Cambridge, MA, brouhaha where white police officer Sgt. James Crowley arrested black Prof. Henry Louis Gates Jr. outside his home. Before knowing the facts, Obama said the officer had acted “stupidly” by arresting Gates. Under severe criticism, Obama later ate his words and pretended to make it all better at a White House “beer summit,” where he and Gates continued their assault on the varied motivations of law enforcement. (One thing that was noticeable in the press photos of their walk to the table was Crowley’s kind attention in assisting Gates, who uses a cane, while Obama lumbered ahead, oblivious to them both.)Â
King said Obama’s initial statement on the incident “brought up race in the beginning” and “concluded with race.”
King went on to cite Obama’s criticism of Arizona’s immigration law and Eric Holders decision to drop the 2008 voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party. Two members of that party had been standing at the door of a Philedelphia voting center in election day, waving sticks.
Democrats are feigning outrage over King’s remarks, and even some republicans have run hiding. Never mind he’s speaking to an issue that many of us had been aware of, or have become aware of, over the last year.
While King stops short of calling the president a racist, I have no such hesitancy.
It is beyond me how my husband, who was 100% Native American, was called a racist by the Montana Human Rights Commission simply because he politically opposed what tribal leaders are doing to people of Indian heritage. Yet, he never showed disdain for the tribe. In fact, everything he did was because he loved his family and friends and hated to see them continue to be hurt by destructive federal Indian policy. His only crime? He was taking the same side on the issues as many conservative white people. Therefore, because the left labeled those white people as racist, they labeled him as a racist as well. In fact, the Montana Human Rights Network claimed that ANYONE who opposed tribal government decisions was inherently a racist.
Yet Obama, Jackson, Sharpton, Rev. Wright, and the like , (I’m referring to ideology here), can behave as they have toward whites – not with simple political opposition, but with constant hate mongering in the form of  false accusations about the motivations of Caucasians. And no one is supposed to say anything.
What’s honestly behind the huge outcry against the Arizona law – the one that reflects and upholds federal law? The only ones making this a racial issue are the ones who are calling the law racist and inferring that Arizonans are as well. That would be Obama, Holder, Napolitano, and the Mayor of LA… to name just a few.
While the state was forced to enact the law because federal government wasn’t doing its job concerning gang members and drug runners crossing the border in greater numbers, Arizona law enforcement personnel are not idiots, nor are they all racists. For Obama, Holder, various mayors and pandering politicians from the left to accuse them as such is racism in itself.
Arizona Law Enforcement personnel are trained professionals and they deserve respect.  They have arrested criminals of every size, shape, color and persuasion in the past and will continue to do so in the future. While jerks exist in any and every group, (including the White House) Arizona policemen do not intend to eyeball only Latinos for suspicious activity and arrest and let everyone else go on about their crimes.
Further, the need for a secure border and strict law isn’t only about Latinos! So pretending that Latinos are the only issue - the only ones crossing the border illegally and the only ones to be affected by the bill …is racist.
In case not everyone has heard, we were attacked in 2001, and not one of the attackers was Latino. Further, on an Arizona reservation just last month, a Pakistani was picked up after crossing the border illegally.Â
It has also been known for quite awhile that Al-Qaeda has been recruiting Caucasians in Britain to commit terrorist acts. In 2008, a Scotland paper wrote,
“As many as 1,500 white Britons are believed to have converted to Islam for the purpose of funding, planning and carrying out surprise terror attacks inside the UK.”
In Israel, terrorists are now coming in every shape, size, gender, and color.
So let’s get real. We can’t play games with our border, no matter who feels offended and pouts. This is about crime, not race.
Further, quoting Dr. William B. Allen, former Chair of the US Comm. on Civil Rights and Dean Emeritus, Political Science, MSUÂ
(The Arizona Law) …addresses individuals who have broken the law, and looks for ordinary social indications in order to determine who such persons are. … So, in the case of immigration laws, … the laws operate universally, to protect those who enter legally and to condemn those who enter illegally. It is the individual, personal decision to enter legally that identifies the person as subject to the law, and not the person’s race or ethnicity.
So why does Obama and other keep making it about race? Who are the real racists?
Obama’s comments and behavior consistently reek racism and even anti-Semitism. (He couldn’t even bring himself to dine with or have his picture taken with Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel.)Â
Some argue Obama can’t be racist because of his mother and grandmother. The fact that Obama’s mother was white is irrelevant. As a Berkeley psychotherapist noted, “His mother disregarded his basic needs, dragged him all over the place, and ultimately abandoned him.” She also wrote that “Barack Sr. was an abusive, alcoholic bigamist.” But Obama subsequently wrote a book praising his father.Â
It’s time for the whole ‘racism’ game to stop. Many of us refuse to play anymore.Â
This is a country full of varied individuals. Our multi-racial family refuses to even answer questions about ‘race’ posed by the census, school documents, and the like. Race doesn’t matter!! It’s liberals who keep trying to make it an issue. We didn’t answer it on the 1990, 2000, or 2010 census.  We encourage everyone – of every heritage - to stop answering that racist, immaterial question no matter what document it comes on.Â
They will tell you that the question is only for funding purposes – but that’s part of the problem! Why is the federal government allocating funds based upon question of race? It’s way past time for all this garbage to stop!

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackYes, Obama is a racist. He has shown it in many instances. One question, where would he be if his grandmother hadn’t worked her butt off to raise him? Why does he worship his father? He did nothing for him.
Your arguments are wrong. President Obama has done more to prevent illegal immigration than any previous president. Look up the facts.
Representative King is simply ignorant, that is also a fact. His quote about Eric Holder reveals his own default mechanism. Holder mentioned only Americans, not white Americans. Racist is a proper term to use for Mr. King.
Mr Anderson,please state your source for facts on what Obama has done to fight illegal immigration. I can find none. All the resources I have found say he has done absolutly nothing. The article Lisa wrote is true. Obama does favor minorities and has from the start.
King is a punk politician, will say anything to incite his racist constituents.
Although Mr Obama does favor people of his own race to surround him at top levels of government, I’m not sure that’s racist as much as it is politics and favoritism. The laws he has enacted or tried to enact fall within the realm of very left leaning socialist regime that will damage this country more than any of the racial motivations being discussed here. I do not agree with any of the Obama administrations policies including health care reform, banking regulations, the failing economic reforms, the pull out of Iraq or Afgahnistan, or even the moritorium on deep sea drilling. The only policy I am in agreement on is the administrations stanze against the Arizona anti-immigration law which is clearly racist. It profiles A race of people based on the color of their skin, and is the only way law enforcement will be able to make the distinction out in the field. For all of you out there that say it’s not so, then how else are they going to base their decision? Are they going to stop 5 white or black people in an SUV on I10 in Arizona? Are they going to ask those same white or black citizens for their “documents” such as a birth certificate, passport, or social security card? Are they going to ask those same people for their work documents or travel documents? Do we carry any of those documents with us now? I know I don’t, I carry my drivers licence and that’s the only form of ID I have because I need it to drive, but that’s the only thing I need to be able to get from one coast to the other. This is exactly how it started with the Jews in Nazi Germany, they were first demonized as the reason for Germanys economic woes then they were forced to carry documents to state they were Jews, then they were forced to carry work documents and the majority were German born citizens. Although I would hope we could never let this happen, it does seem to have some resemblence of those same policies. I am wondering if we had the same immigration problem with white canadians coming in from the North and the Northern States enacted laws that profiled white people and made everyone of that skin color a target for deportation that we surely would be hearing much stronger protests against those laws, because we know that not everyone that is white along our Northern borders would be an illegal alien just as we know that not everyone of brown skin is an illegal alien along our Southern border
Look at birds on a telephone wire. See any woodpeckers hanging out with sparrows? Look at all animal behavior. Like elements like to be together. In America, we’re all thrown together like a human stew. While like people would prefer in most instances to be together, this is called racism in America if those people are white. It’s OK to have Black communities, Black colleges, Black churches, Hispanic the same, Jews the same, Asains the same, but don’t you dare have an all white college. Don’t you whites all want to be together in a neighborhood or else we’ll call you racist. This is gotton to the point of being stupid. Of course Obama is a racist. It was written all over his campaign. People slobbering to get a half black into office didn’t care. Whites likely in some cases hoped for some sort of redemption from slavery (which with never happen because Blacks LOVE that period in US history – pays well.) Well anyone with a half a mind that saw the church and the “spiritual advisor” that Obama called his own for 20 years and had any other idea about his loyality is either deaf, blind or stupid.
The problem is that Obama is so transparent about it. Let one of his cronies get into a tangle with the law, and he’s all over it. Our president has not once accepted an invitation to go to Arizona to look first hand at the violence and slums created by illegals crossing the border. Not once., but hey lets have a beer fest if one of my black buddies has a bad afternoon. What a joke.
Of course Obama wants illegals here. Obama is for Obama. He’s done little other than try to spend our way out of debt,discourage small businesses and preach. Oh yeah, he does a lot of campaigning. Meanwhile he voices his devotion to the Gulf, he’s being entertained by Paul McCartney, golfing, campaigning for Harry. This man is undoubtedly one of the worst presidents ever to hold that office.
Now he might get his Acorn buddies out there or some Black Panther support and drag his supporters out to vote, and maybe contrary to the popular vote, actually bless 12 million criminals to be his next wave of voters, but honestly, I don’t think even Obama can talk his way out of this mess he’s created.
I’ll give him a couple of things. 1. He’s a graet orator. 2. He can dazzel those who would be dazzeled with his slight of the hand politics. Unless I miss my mark, Obama’s time in office is limited, right along with the wolf pack that guides him along.
Rom –
I have spent seven years living in Alberta, and I kept my documents in clear plastic sleeves, in a three ring bonder, in the car where ever we went. It was no big deal. I would rather do that then be without them if I needed them. It actually made lots of things easier – having the documents available for the bank, schools, and of course, for every border crossing going to and from Montana.
And we are primarily white. At least I, the main driver, was. Am. Is.
FURTHER – over that seven years, we obeyed Canadian law and purchased our Visas. With nine kids, that price was sometimes over $1000. No, we are far from rich. We just saved our money for what was important.
Further, most of the Treuenfels family – my family – died in Germany during the 1940’s. We have documentation that some died in Auchwitz and others at a Czech camp, but there are many who just disappeared, – we have no idea what happened to them.
Please don’t equate Arizona with the Holocaust. It is apples and oranges. Illegal immigrants are not American citizens, they have entered the country with out going through the legal process. Plain and simple.
