Michele Bachmann has correctly stated that obama has "failed the African-American community, with 16 percent unemployment, or the Hispanic community, with nearly 12 percent unemployment. It's even worse for the youth: For Hispanic youth right now, 26 percent unemployment; for African-American youth, 40 percent unemployment."
She also adds that obama programs of failure have failed every American.
However, if she states the problem in terms of skin color, then she will be expected to provide solutions based on skin color. Yes, our government has lots of programs like that which discriminate against white Americans. We don't need anymore. White folks, as well as their children, need jobs too!

More on the Bad Assumption
In my previous post, I talked about the erroneous assumption that leads people to expect proportional representation in any group of people they observe. Thomas Sowell has written an excellent article on this and I am sharing a few key points for you to consider.
Here are some examples:
If you watch football, you have often seen black players score touchdowns, but probably have never seen a black player kick an extra point. Is there a reason that teams do not want minority players to kick the extra point?
In basketball, blacks are clearly overrepresented and whites underrepresented. Is this a bit of racial scheming by blacks to control the game?
Government regulation of the housing market was increased when statistics showed that blacks were turned down for mortgages more often than whites. The scream of racism went throughout the land and some really bad decisions were made to ‘fix’ the problem. However they cherry picked the facts they wanted to see, and failed to mention these:
- whites were turned down more often than Asians
- black-owned banks also turned down blacks more often than whites
- credit scores differed from group to group
Thomas Sowell has this sharp concluding statement: “The bean-counters are everywhere pushing the idea that differences show injustices committed by society. As long as we keep buying it, they will keep selling it – and the polarization they create will sell this country down the river.”
Don’t let baloney guide your thinking.

This Bad Assumption about Race
An article by Thomas Sowell shows clearly how people get the wrong idea when they adopt a wrong assumption to start with.
This is the wrong assumption that people are making, “that different races, sexes, and other subdivisions would be proportionately represented in institutions, occupations, and income brackets if there were not something strange or sinister going on.”
If a person has adopted this assumption into their thinking, they will be the first to speak up if their ‘type’ of person is not represented in a group of people in accord with overall representation in the population. This erroneous thinking is the foundation of ‘token’ mentality and people attempting to use the race card.
The New York Times is one example of media that wants to feed off the race issue, so they find amazing stats like this:
Baseball coaches from minority groups are more often coaching at first base than third base. Also third base coaches become managers more often first base coaches. The implication is that managers are more often selected out of the pool that has fewer minorities. Is there something strange or sinister going on?
Are we to then think that maybe all 9 positions on the baseball team are being populated according to race?
More on this topic in my next post.

Have You Had Enough?
Black, Negro, Black, Negro!
Have you had enough? If you are not going to worship at the alter of skin color, then let us know so we can pull the plug on this nonsense.
I already knew that Obama was a token; hired only because of his skin color. Why does all the media have to keep regurgitating this perversion of the Presidency?
Today is MLK day - the instigator of riots and destruction? Am I marching? You bet I'm marching - away from my TV so I don't have to listen to it.
Tomorrow is Obamathon Innaugaration day. You have my permission to blow it off. It's just $150,000,000 million tax dollars being flushed. Anything you do tomorrow that ignores the black hoopla and puts Obama down will be the better thing.
Cheers,
Dennis

The Unbelievable Obama
Unbelievable that he could get enough signatures to be in the race.
Unbelievable that he could win any states in the primary.
Unbelievable that any political party would choose him.
Unbelievable that he would win the election in November.
By the way, what happened to Barry's skin? Why did they not make it real? Hiding his true skin color does not fit the intent of their satire.
