Sans May be the only one who caught this,NOT ONE NEWS NETWORK.

OBAMAS' statement about, Rich WHITE executives moving to the suburbs ,because they don't want to pay taxes to inner city children to go to school.

Why didn't he say green , blue , yellow, black?
When did it become illegal to choose where a person can live no matter of your color or if you are an executive.
I thought Martin Luther King helped put this issue to bed and help lead us to a greater nation. I have no tolerance for racisim.
Now we have a president who is proving that he is a racist.

Is this acceptable to everyone? :(
This is not a minor point to be glossed over, It is a shame because now he might just be remembered because of race, and reverse prejudice.

Ironically the trend right now in some urban areas is that white executives and other executives are moving back into the cities. There's many cities where there is urban core renewal. In Kansas City a lot of the old warehouses are being renovated into trendy lofts. It is now cool to move BACK to the city. ALso with the higher and higher energy costs it is going to be more economical to live closer to your job, thus I believe that in the current century there will be a white flight BACK to the cities. Obama, regardless of whether he is a racist or not, may be a little behind the times in that observation.

Bob you gonna let obama of the hook for such a RACIST remark?

This has nothing to do with execs moving back to the city.

Of course he's racist.

Too many quotes by him to hide that fact.

But I think it has more to do with his self-identity struggles than with outright hatred of other races. In his books he mentions how other mixed-race kids (he called them Half-Breeds) would often gravitate toward the white side of their families, almost like using it as a step-ladder in their lives, whereas, he was trying to relate with his black origins for his own personal reasons.

Of course, that's still racist, but it comes from a place of being basically abandoned by his good for nothing loser of a dad in Kenya. It would be difficult as a kid, growing up with an entirely white family, when outwardly, people see a black man, and not necessarily the product of a mixed-race marriage. Then you have to explain... "No, I'm not adopted... my dad had to leave me in America for many years, without seeing me, because.... he was... umm... a hero in his own country... doing important things trying to rebuild it, and... well... he loved me I'm sure.... but... yeah, he's passed on now anyway so..."

He's more of an Archie Bunker type racist, and not a "grab your white bedsheet" kind of racist.

And no... he's not anywhere near as bad as Archie Bunker either... but you get my point.

Part of their big plan is to cause racial division in America. A nation divided can not stand. They want to divide America so they can take it over easier.

If we are fighting amongst ourselves, they can conquer while we are distracted.

George Soros has obviously read the Mao's Little Red Book.
