CBC Chairman: Blacks “Wouldn’t Dare March on The White House” Because Obama’s Black, If He “Was A White President We Would”…

Nah, nothing overtly racist about this.

Via Daily Caller:

Rep. Emanueal Cleaver — the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus – told The Daily Caller that African Americans won’t “march on the White House” over the high unemployment rate in the black community because President Barack Obama is black.

Following his appearance at Republican Rep. Allen West’s Black Conservative Forum, Cleaver elaborated on his past comments about Obama’s image in the African American community, saying, “The point I was making is that black people hold the president in such high esteem, that they would not dare march on the White House even though unemployment is at 15 percent and higher and if there was a white president we would do that because we’ve had white presidents since George Washington.”

Cleaver continued, “The point was that if we had anybody else in the White House, with this level of unemployment, that you know, you would see a lot more African Americans, African American organizations and retro organizations speaking out against it. But because he is revered, you know, he gets I guess the benefit of, you know, understanding that the situation was terrible when he came in. So, we’re not doing that.”

    in other words, you admit that because he’s black he can’t fix the situation? or shouldn’t be expected to?

    Does any member of the CBC ever do anything for the rest of the population?
    Does any of them ever work for a cause other than reparations for the blacks for slavery?
    The only time you ever hear anything about them, they are once again whining that the white man is oppressing the blacks.
    They don’t represent “the people”; they represent ONLY the Black people and Black causes.

    This is precisely why the CIA, the house of Saud, and international banking interests put him into the presidency.

    They anticipate no reaction from the public sector that has historically been the government’s biggest pain in the ass and perceived biggest threat to social stability…..urban minorities. The dependant (where’s my cheese?) urban minorities are so mindlessly excited about a non-white being in the top position that they will stupidly cling to their external appearances and overlook policies that are disproportionately to their detriment.

    Meanwhile, they are betting that the white, conservative, Christian, rural, sustainable majority will just sit quietly and take whatever they dictate.

    Blacks wanted to set up a prayer ring around the White House and he resisted it because he feared it would be viewed as an attack on Obama?

    Why, because Obama is not Christian?

    How did this benefit the black community or America? That would have been something meaningful to all Americans, and the blacks would have reaped praise.

    To stand and say blacks won’t attack Obama because he’s black, is true, and a frank admission on your part, but it doesn’t change the fact that you had an opportunity to allow blacks to demonstrate their will and their faith to Obama and you resisted it .. you screwed up.

    CBC needs to come out of the dark and realize, America is approaching the point where we will not tolerate bullshit in the government, and we will not tolerate representatives who are race baiters.

    And some how that is not RACIST! Definition of racism-The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability. Favoritism or disfavor due to ones IS racism. No where in any definition does it require the racist to be white.
