My latest in PJ Media:
As Tyler O’Neil noted here, The Atlantic on Thursday published an excerpt from Barack Obama’s latest autobiography, A Promised Land, and if you want to hear about how America was never great, you’ve come to the right place. “I recognize that there are those who believe that it’s time to discard the myth,” Obama writes. What myth? The one about how America is marred by “systemic racism”? No, just the opposite: Obama wants us to drop our illusions and admit that “an examination of America’s past and an even cursory glance at today’s headlines show that this nation’s ideals have always been secondary to conquest and subjugation, a racial caste system and rapacious capitalism, and that to pretend otherwise is to be complicit in a game that was rigged from the start.”
It’s ironic that the nation’s first black president would be the one complaining about this alleged “racial caste system,” which, if it existed, would likely have prevented him from becoming president in the first place. Even if there were widespread, systemic racism in the United States, which is unlikely since it has been an offense that has been continually warned about and vigorously prosecuted since 1964, the last person who can claim to have been a victim of it is Barack Hussein Obama. It’s even more ironic that the same people who believe that his words about racism and capitalism are an accurate summation of what the United States is and has been also believe that President Trump is “racist” for not wanting to allow unrestrained, unrestricted mass migration into this sinkhole of racism and capitalist excess. If this country is so bad, Barack, why do so many people want to come live here?
In any case, as Rating America’s Presidents shows, if America does have anything like a racial caste system today, it’s largely due to the presidency of one Barack H. Obama. Throughout his tenure, Obama stoked racial tensions rather than calming them. When he took office, the Justice Department was pursuing a case against the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation in Philadelphia. Obama’s attorney general, Eric Holder, abruptly dropped the case in May 2009 and refused to cooperate with further investigations, giving the impression that the Black Panthers were getting away with voter intimidation because of their race.
Obama’s response to several widely publicized incidents also exacerbated racial tensions. On July 16, 2009, black intellectual Henry Louis Gates found himself locked out of his Massachusetts home and began trying to force his way in. An officer arrived to investigate a possible break-in; Gates began berating him and was arrested for disorderly conduct. Obama claimed that the police “acted stupidly” and noted the “long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by police disproportionately,” although there was no indication of racial bias in this case. He invited Gates and the police officer to the White House for a “beer summit,” which the media hailed as a manifestation of his determination to heal racial divisions, when in fact it was just the opposite: he was taking a case of misunderstanding and disorderly conduct and portraying it as a racial incident requiring presidential reconciliation.
There is much more. Read the rest here.

Rob says
NZ has a similar situation. Our newly (Jan) appointed Race Relations Commissioner, is a Chinese named Meng Foon. Like others in the race relations area, he needs a good supply of racists and our media is happy to help. One weekly national paper ‘The Sunday Star-Times’ is so compliant and its racism dicoveries so regular that has been named ‘The Racism Gazette’.
The sticker for Meng (as for Obama), is that he was elected 5 times as Mayor of Gisborne which is predominantly white.

Very grim, Rob.
Rob says
Actually, I suspect a Beijing connection pulling Meng’s string.

Here is a video that says of another way Trump could get the presidency,100% legal, I think he had it All-Planned Out in case of Fraud:
The info goes till minute 4:12, it says,
1.The STATE LEGISLATURES of 5 of the 6 DEBATED STATES ( Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona)
are REPUBLICAN and if neither Biden nor Trump has 270 electoral votes,
2.Then the Presidential decision goes to the House and the Vice-Presidency to the Senate.
3.But in the House Vote for President Each State has ONE and ONLY 1 VOTE.
4.Of the 50 STATE LEGISLATURES MOST are Republican.That is to say: Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona would vote to have TRUMP as president.
Again,it is 100% legal.They interview PAUL ENGEL,expert,who wrote THE CONSTITUTIONAL STUDY,and says there has been fraud.
The info,and Venezuelan youtuber JOHN PATRICK ACQUAVIVA had days ago talked about this also, is from NTD NEWS
https://youtu.be/9wv-f_o_S6c
NTD NEWS IS A BUDDHIST NEWS CHANNEL
New Tang Dynasty Television is a multilingual American television broadcaster, founded

FALUN GONG is Buddhist and 1 MILLION of its members in China have been taken to concentration camps and KILLED and their ORGANS taken out, for SALE.

o is,and always has been, a trouble-making, arrogant and foolish narcissistic, loud-mouth moslim. And, a psychopath. No empathy….ready to allow the newborn babies to be murdered; no repentance or regret, never apologizing for all the lies he told the public when he was pretending to be ‘president’ and getting paid to lie to Americans and back-stab those he pretended were his “friends and allies.” Recall the information he ‘leaked’ about the Seal Team, and the efforts Israel was making to protect themselves against moslim terrorists.
His words means less than nothing because he is a liar. He’s lied so many times to so many people, the only way to know he is not lying is when he has his mouth shut. Even when there is a photo of his mouth open is a smile, or laughing, it is only a pretense, hence. lies.
Lying, pretending, and ugly inside and out. Who really cares what he believes or says about anything?

Some history. ?? Obama is a half-caste not black! he’s mixed raced .?
Ben Kennedy says
The Obamanation President had a white mother, Arab father and he claims he was black. How quickly facts are ignored; I remember it being a major issue that the Obamanation forfeited a large part of the black vote when the general conception was that he had abandoned the negro race. Simply put, he did not do for them, all that they had expected him to do. For some, it means their hatred of whites is not yet salved in having them disposed of as Hitler did to his Jews.
curious george says
Bob Kennedy,
Interesting comments.
If I may add, the ONLY information available about Obama’s (Birth) parents come from him. We only have Obama’s word that his father was Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black man, who was born and raised a Muslim in Kenya, Africa (at the time a British Colony) and that his mother was an American white woman, Stanley Ann Dunham.
As of this post, Obama has not made available a certified copy of his Birth Certificate. So, we don’t have ANY legal evidence to substantiate his claim as to who his birth parents are, his place of birth and his date of birth.
The Birth Certificate that he had posted on the White House web site appears to be a forgery. This video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWmWO18GTc8 is the result of an intensive investigation, approximately 5 years, by Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse, led by Mike Zullo, into the Birth Certificate issue.
GOLDMANN says

mgoldberg says
Without the oppressed victimology, he and the other victimologists cannot produce screed after screed demanding redistribution of all resources to better command ‘equality’ of outcomes. But there never was nor never will be equlity of outcomes; only equality of opportunity. As T Sowell noted, ‘even in a family, there are different outcomes of achievement, of success, even though the situation is the same for all’.
So demanding victimology, and hypocritically, calling Pres. Trump election in 2016 a racist response to Obamas having been a president for 8 yrs. rather than Obama’s failure to develop the economic recovery and the deterioration of foreign policy in multiple areas. And now, the leftists have drowned out the liberals- which is the predominant theme of the democratic party, which has had to deny the many accomplishments of Pres Trump as just racist evil. What a stinking pile of bovine fertilizer. I remember Michele O going on about when her hubby was elected, that it was the first time she was proud of the country. I guess when she was working in Chicago, pushing poorer patients out of hospitals that wanted her to get patients with better insurance, she didn’t have much to be proud of then,

…………..

Saleem Smith says
As a self-serving career politician and “community organizer” who plays the race card every chance he gets, let us not forget that Obama and his wife have accrued an estimated net worth of 70 million USD and are enjoying a goldplated pention and 24 hour a day government-funded security and future global speaking engagements potentially reaching into the hundreds of millions of $$$.
And of course, as Spencer mentions above, he did everything within his power during his time in office to grease the skids for Islamic expansion and influence across the world as well as in the US. The guy is one shady character alright, and speaking as an ex-Muslim, I personally wouldn’t trust the man to babysit my goldfish on a good day.
Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
“One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
The statement continues,
Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

A Born Again Christian who changed his name from Barry to Barack and who claimed the most beautiful sound in the morning is the islamic call to prayer, he also said if it comes down to it, he will be on the side of the muslims…. This guy pulled off the greatest Con Job in American History.
I wish people who claim his Race to be so all important to at the very least get the Race correct, he is Bi-Racial, or Mullatto, and his Father was a low life drunk who died while driving drunk, so why is he so proud of that parent while saying nothing much about his Caucasian Mother.
He really knows how to play white folks and get them to shut up… Not me though…

The very first time I saw him, he was introduced as the “young senator from Kenya.” He ran up the steps and when he went across the stage, I thought to myself some things I have actually said quite often since.
I didn’t like him from that first step going on the stairs to the stage and I don’t like him to this day. In fact, he makes me sick and the more I have learned about him, the more my stomach churns. When I learned what he wanted to happen to babies who survived abortions, I’m not sorry to say, my dislike turned to hate. When he praised planned babykillers for their “work,” the hate grew.
Proverbs 6 tells me that it’s okay to feel as I do. King David expressed his feelings about ‘o’s kind of people and he was a good example of a person “who was close to Jehovah’s own heart.”
This slimy slug will reap every bit of every seed he has sown…all of the rotten, poisonous weeds that have emanated from his person.

It is A testimony to how weak the lefts divide and conquer strategy is at demonizing white americans and Jews, that Obama and other leftists continue to have to come up with new attacks in the hopes of maintaining the suspicion that white americans are supporting supremacism, and not merit which is the best system you can hope for without openly talking about racial inequality, which probably wont work out for america.
Most american probably don’t know what A caste system is, which is typically associated with the hindu religions laws pertaining to the darker skinned indians claiming they are untouchables. No amount of stupid or outrageous is ever challenged on the leftist bubble, with its supporting corporations and media. In the minds of many leftists of every color, no offense or human rights violation from the history of the world can’t be associated with white americans and be right. They are guilty until proven innocent, just like many Jews are according to many people. Still waiting for anybody to point out that there was no equality before white empire or white colonialism. In G-d I trust.

The socialists and globalists have an ideological interest in focusing on the race divergencies in the Western world, despite that REAL racism are found in most Asian countries and Africa.

Of course the US is racist. And with Biden as POTUS it is slated to get worse. As soon as blacks who escape the plantation become too numerous the Democrat racists arrange riots to bring the successful blacks down. This has been going on as long as the portion of my 2/3 century can remember. It’s been like clockwork.

Colin Broughton says
I believe there is a racial caste system in the USA. I think that such a caste system develops in any multiracial society.
Such a hierarchy develops because of the differing mean IQ levels of the respective races. IQ is closely correlated with academic success and socio-economic status, Class is conflated with race. Of course there is fuzziness at the edges of the Race / Class divisions,
The hierarchy in the USA appears to be; at the top Jews, East Asians (Orientals), High-caste South Asians, Whites, South East Asians / Hispanics, Blacks With lowest mean IQ are at the bottom along with native Americans.
Multi racial / Multi ethnic societies are breeding grounds for low trust, racial frustration, resentments, social instability and worse,
We can clearly see the effects of low trust in the rioting which has occurred when a black is killed by the police. The black population simply does not trust the police,
mortimer says
Even in Africa, racial differences cause much disharmony among tribes.
We were sold a bill of goods about being ‘color-blind’. Now color is a criterion in hiring which supersedes competence and merit.

It is not the “black population” that does not trust the police. Many Black people do trust and rely on the police to protect their homes and families. Thee are hundreds of Black officers across the nation.
I have two bi-racial family members, many Black friends, have lived in majority Black neighborhoods and have watched numerous videos of interviews on the street where Black people are asked to express themselves on the subject of the police.
There are Blacks…just as their are Whites and others…who want racial trouble and they work hard to make it happen. They wish Blacks to believe that the police and White people are against them, that all Whites and all police officers are bigoted against Black people.(Think al sharpton and obama and oprah winfrey for examples. And the entire bm mob.
As one Black lady said, her people are being “used” by those wanting trouble between the races.

A report out this week was about the State of GA having a ruling that “signatures on paper ballots” can’t be examined to see if they are legit.
All because stacey abrams claimed that she would have been elected if only Black people had not been denied their right to vote for her. She convinced state reps to change the law. That hampers the vote recount in this most recent election, so that it makes it easier to steal the election by fraud, esp with paper ballots.
It didn’t have anything to do with Race but making sure the voters didn’t get the one they were voting for; all planned for a year in advance. But Race was used as a weapon to get what they wanted. This is par for the course they have chosen.
