A question to ask the Obamas

I came across this item from Newsbusters at Lucianne.com:

Nightline co-anchor Cynthia McFadden continued her fawning, multi-part profile of Michelle Obama on Monday night, worrying about the “extra responsibilities” that Mrs. Obama faces as an African American First Lady. She then offered this softball: “Is it different to be a black child growing up in America today than it was four years ago?”

Here’s a question I wish someone would ask Michelle and her husband: “Tell me, what is it like, as a black person, going through your life constantly having white people fawn all over you?”

An honest answer to the question, “Tell me, what is it like, as a black person, going through your life constantly having white people fawn all over you?” would be, “the constant fawning fills me with contempt and the desire to punish whites even further.” Yet Obama may not even be perceptive enough to appreciate this, since he applies the white liberal approach to blacks to our enemies abroad — including China and the Muslim world — with conspicuous lack of success.

When you grovel and seek to appease someone potentially dangerous, this does not make them like you, this makes them kick you. And you deserve it! Why is this ancient lesson so difficult for liberals to understand?

It’s my feeling that liberals understand this completely. They are very careful to place themselves in a position where they do not have to deal with the consequences of their beliefs—it is working class and lower middle class people, mostly white, who do. When a liberal gets mugged, it’s because he has ventured out of his safe area and become overconfident of his ability to deflect black envy and rage by appearing to be a “good white.” When it falls upon whites or others whom they find contemptible, it is just a matter of those they fear attacking those they despise, and so it is nothing to him. Possibly liberals even find satisfaction in it.
