WaPo Columnist: How Dare Republicans Attack Obama During The Holiest Of Holy Days – Black History Month!…
I feel dumber having just read drivel this mind numbingly stupid.
The demonizing of Barack Obama – WaPo/Colbert King
February is African American History Month. Yet these are days of sadness.
The brilliance of hope, so blinding a few short years ago, has dimmed. The dreams of a 21st-century America, where achievement is based on skills, determination and merit, free from an arbitrary color standard, have been replaced with injuries inflicted by present-day haters as malevolent as some of our worst enemies of the past.
What sets anti-Obama foes apart from the persecutors of Bush, Reagan et al., however, is that the purveyors of this brand of inflammatory rhetoric include the GOP presidential candidates themselves.
Their charges are rude, disrespectful and designed to question Obama’s loyalty to country and commitment to his faith. [...]
In this political environment, there is no invective too repugnant, too vicious to throw at this president of the United States.
It is in this climate that we celebrate African American History Month and the achievement of generations against all odds. The demonizing and denigration of the nation’s first black president cast a pall over what should be a time of tribute to indomitable Americans.
But we soldier on.
African American History Month concludes next week, and George Washington University will host an event Tuesday “celebrating the African American legacy in Foggy Bottom.”
How will observers of African American History Month many years down the road regard the time in which we now live?
Ah, but these things are being said about Obama, we are told, because of his policies, not because of the color of his skin.
It’s never about race; it’s all about the defense of great traditions and storied principles . . .as in cases of the Civil War, Plessy, Brown, lunch counters, bus travel, the poll tax, Jackie Robinson.
BTW: When was it changed to “African American History Month?”

Shhhheeeeeesh. Pathetic. Simply pathetic.
First mulatto president. He’s only the first black president when it’s politically expedient.
I don’t question Obama’s commitment to his faith.
I think he’s a full fledged Communist.
Which is exactly why Levin calls this paper the Washington COMPOST.
Colbert King, then why do you belong to the party of slavery, KKK and Jim Crow, the party that enslaves blacks to this minute, the party which fought against every Civil Rights Act in US history?
Colbert King, you belong to the Demokkkrat party, the party of slavery. So therefore you approve of the principle of slavery. So why don’t you and all demokkkrats s.t.f.u.?
I disagree with the author. Herman Cain would have been our first black president had he not bowed out due to a scandal.
Guess we’ll have to wait a little longer.
“The brilliance of hope, so blinding a few short years ago, has dimmed.”
The dimming coming as a result of the 52%er saps waking up to the reality that their empty suit hero is just that- a talent, achievement and ability free cypher with 3 years of broken promises and stunningly incompetent “leadership” to show for his time in office.
“The dreams of a 21st-century America, where achievement is based on skills, determination and merit, free from an arbitrary color standard, have been replaced…”
Yes, and this “replacement” has been headed up marching band leader style by a vapid, teleprompter reading imbecile with again no discernible skills, no ethical or moral center, and a near complete lack of work ethic…who just happens to have been awarded his position due to an arbitrary color standard.
Gads, what a whining dolt this “writer” is. He’s almost as talent free as the stuttering dunce he appears to worship.
When “Black History Month” became racist.
If the other 11 months are for white history I wonder if Colbert King and his fellow African American libtards in the MFM will shut-up about white conservatives until February 1st of 2013 ?
Somehow I doubt it.
His mother was white, so doesn’t he only get until the 15th to celebrate it?
And his father was a Kenyan Arab, who, historically were responsible for selling slaves.
Black history month are holy days? I’m sorry but that is hilarious.
Mr. King would probably crap his non-cotton-picked pants over this one then:

When is White History month?
Sorry, but I seem to keep missing it.
Here’s what i question:
————————-
The background – Yesterday i was looking on the net for a few ‘Doom’ mod-files when i noticed an unrelated directory on the same site. The directory was labeled ‘Fake ID’, and contained templates that someone could use to forge identification for obviously illegal purposes. (Director address is: http://winxp76.com/Bunker/index.php?dir=Fake%20ID/ )
Anyway, one file in particular caught my attention. The file was named ‘Birth Certificates’. ( http://winxp76.com/Bunker/index.php?dir=Fake%20ID/&file=Birth%20Certificates.rar ) The Zip file included a template for Hawaii that i found very interesting.
When compared to the Short Form birth certificate released by the Obama campaign in 2008 (found at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama_birth_certificate#Short_form.2C_2008 ), the two documents seemed to contain the exact same stamping on the reverse side for the date; Nov 6, 2007 (seen in reverse). An overlay in Photoshop reveals that everything lines up perfectly.
African American history month is racist in and of itself. Where’s the Italian American History month or the German American history month. There isn’t one because they too would be racist. The individual who wrote that column is a moron!
Obama should take the month off.
Ho hummm another day another race card—by the way how many damn cards are there is a racist deck….500???? 10000?
George Washington Carver’s peanuts could not be reached for comment.
I’m calling Barry Soetoro the racist for saying he is black! By denying his white side he is racist and his writings prove it!
And to make matters worse, this is a leap year!
This authors (sic?) writing is definately worthy of any attempt to be in the same burn heap as the korans from last week.
Wait a minute! Does this now mean my mother in law who was born in Algeria of French parents now has a celebratory month just for her? Born in Africa, now an American=African American. Neat. Can’t wait to tell her to start celebrating her heritage.
The other thing that aggravates me is this __________-hyphen-American crap. I have closer connections to Germany (as half of my family is still there) I will bet than virtually all “African” HYPHEN Americans have to Africa, but I do not consider myself German-American. My mother was born in Germany, and she refuses to call herself German – when she goes somewhere and a person says “Oh, I can tell by your accent that you are German”, she politely tells them that she is an American….(and then a TEXAN).
And I extend that hypenated disdain to my friends who are “Irish” (BFD – then so am I) or Italian or whatever.
Reading the Washington Post will lower you IQ rating on a wekly basis. This story is typical of the mind numbing stupidity of the propaganda media.
Criticizing the President IS a celebration of Black History Month.
You’re in the big league’s, now. You wanted equality? You got it.
ALL PRESIDENTS GET CRITICIZED. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Racism means an attitude of racial supremacism plus power.
Obamas are clearly racist, therefore.
The current PC climate says all racial self-esteem is racist unless it’s for blacks or latinos.
Look at Mario Apuzzo, the attorney working on Obama’s article II ineligibility cases, he is Italian-American. The climate today says he’s white, whereas a Spanish-American (white from Spain) is an elevated ethnicity. A white-Spaniard-Mexican Indian mix is also elevated. African-Americans are elevated in protected race stature.
So what’s called “racism” is clearly political nonsense, and meant for oppressing non-Demokkkrat voters.
Don’t you mean: “Barack History Month”?
Rewriting Ozymandias-on-the-Potomac’s history IS a full-time job requiring the combined efforts of the entire MSM…
Colbert King is a leftist liberal nutcase who the Washington Post keeps as an op-ed writer. That way, they can point to his extremist views the next time someone accuses them of being excessively liberal.
It’s sort of like yelling “You think we’re liberal? Well, look at that opinion. THAT is liberal.”
That response just tells me we don’t need another black as president of the United States. If he is going to be out of commission for 4 months out of 48 in addition to the multiple weeks of vacation, then we need some other race in the White House.
Being President is not a part-time job, no matter what his ‘wife’ thinks.
Yhe WASHINTON COMPOST needs to go bankrupt its a terrible waste of natural resources printing this liberal leftists rag
I can now admit that I was doubling up on my white half criticism to compensate. GEEZ. BORE-ING.
What is this crap, a right brain, left brain thing?
Who comes up with this BS? Get a real job, King, for chrissakes.
I declare August as Irish History month!
I always thought that Bill Clinton was our first black President? Which month is Caucasian History Month………………..oh never mind, they only built this country.
I hate barry, not his skin color. When you are freaking socialist asshole that supports the enemies of your country you get to be bashed all 12 months of the year.
And yeah, hyphen thing is just obnoxious. How come we never hear Caucasian-American? or White American? Christian American?
XMan…March should be Irish because of St Paddy’s Day. August could be Asian American…
Yeah………..but the other 11 months are WHITE HISTORY MONTHS…………………damn I am so sick of black this ,black that , black , black, black………..give it a rest!!!!!
This idiot shoots himself in the mouth as he contradicts his own rhetoric and demands a twisted logic that only the profoundly insane could manufacture.
He touts the goal of a color blind meritocracy while screaming that Obama’s race is far more important than his disasterous policies. He then projects that view onto Obama’s critics because of their race.
Just goes to show how stupid any black person who buys into the lies of the left really is ..
scenario:
“We’ll name February ‘Black History Month’, we’ll give you preferential treatment with Affirmative Action, Welfare, Medicare, we’ll lower the bars for you because we’re your friend.”
translation:
“We know you are not very smart and can’t make it on your own, so we’ll buy your loyalty with taxpayer dollars, while we keep you lazy and stupid to vote for us.”
So in the minds of the Liberal politicians after they drain the well of productivity and prosperity, they will be rich, while all their constituents will be too poor, weak and stupid to do anything about it.
Even though most people probably don’t trust politicians, the freeloaders go where the handouts are, not realizing that the politicians don’t give a damn about them.
Mr. King,
Were you the intelligence of Dr. King, your rant would be worthy of thought. However, your logic is flawed and your racism is obvious.
Give it a rest while we dispense with BHO.
His color is Socialist red, not black.
Quit yer bitchin. You got an extra day this year.
Axel – Excellent point American Irish get March, we should give Norwegians January as they are a hardy cold weathered bunch. To coincide with Octoberfest German Americans get October, clearly Mexican Americans get May cinco de mayo, French Americans get July in celebration of storming the Bastille. Muslim Americans can just get out!
Please let us know when Florida Rep Allen West will be speaking and Corrnell West will be squeeling
“Americans should have picked their own damn cotton.”
We need a leader with balls to:
a) Get rid of affirmative action
b) Ban any advocacy group based on ethnicity, race or gender
c) Respect the 1st and 2nd amendments without exception
Any takers???
Still waiting for White American History Month. Even Fox News is running this Black American History Month bullshit. Trouble is after the first week of this they have run out of history.
“The dreams of a 21st-century America, where achievement is based on skills, determination and merit, free from an arbitrary color standard, have been replaced with injuries inflicted by present-day haters as malevolent as some of our worst enemies of the past.”
The second piece in 24 hours(the other was a rant from kos)that oozes self hatred and projection of the very qualities that make up the liberal view point.These people are really starting to crackup.
john nicholson – yes,she can celebrate with Charlize Theron and the band Seether both are from S. Africa .
African American History Month is not a celebration open to Obama.He has no connection to the history of African’s in America.
He is 1st generation.
He has no rights or claims to victimization,Jim Crowe,Civil rights battles,slavery or injustices unless his mother’s ancestors owned slaves – which would make him……………….
I’ve been doing genealogical research for 11 yrs and out of curiosity i peeked at bammy’s maternal tree………..
George Washington Overall
Born: July 4, 1820
Occupation:

(Slave owner)
that’s just 1.
I seriously resent this accusation. I know he’s only part black and I’ve only been criticizing The Dark Lord part of the month.
