Thread: MSNBC Hosts All Agree: Obama Graded Harder (By White Voters) Because He Is Black

This is pathetic but it is also was expected. They think Obama is being graded on his record at a higher standard from white voters because he is black. With this false rhetoric you can get a idea of what is going to happen when this election heats up and Obama is unable to run on his record having delt with the economy. Obama was given a pass and not vetted in 08 because of the mindsets the MSNBC hosts have.

Excerpts:

"[Obama] now has a specific record of governing," MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry said today on her show. "A record that, I contend, because of his race will be held to a much higher standard than it would have been for a white incumbent.

Alex Wagner, host of MSNBC's NOW, agreed. "I think race absolutely has to do with the conversation about reelection," she said.

Harris-Perry opened her segment with the cogent observation that Obama "this time around, President Obama really is a black guy running for president."

Obama is also getting a complete pass by blacks. Of course that doesn't matter since they are black (to liberals), they can be racist and it gets applauded.

Don't forget guilt-ridden white liberals who would rather see the country irretrievably damaged than admit that the first black president is a failure.

Well he should be classified as white-black. That's what the liberals would call him if he killed someone.

Obama calls himself black.

Which is another reason white America does not trust him.

Leftists are already crafting excuses for the crushing rejection of their deluded ideology.

they smell it. they taste it.
they can feel it their bones.

True on both counts. I do think Whites are grading him harder because he is Black. I also think most Blacks are willing to give him a pass on most anything he does because he's Black.

That's less true than you think...a lot of blacks, and progressives in general feel very let down by Obama...NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

Again...white and black are both races...Hispanic is an ethnicity...

Calling someone white-black makes zero sense...especially in the US where thanks to the 1/16th rule almost all mixed race babies have been identified as black for the longest...sure it is correct, but terms like the outdated mullato and the now accepted mixed-race are more accurate...because it is true.

Due to the fact that Latinos/Hispanics are VERY mixed as is, defining themselves as one race would make zero sense...the current president of Peru is Asian for instance....and is 100% Hispanic.

Hispanics too. They want more and are let down because they haven't got it yet. But I think both realize that Obama can only do what Congress lets him do.
