J’accuse MorahRach and Vaad of shallow moral relativism…for a Jew to vote for the candidate who is more in tune with Jewish issues, or to be supportive of a an observant Jewish candidate is understandable, proper…and maybe even an obligation. For Blacks to behave the same way is racism. Pitiful indeed.

More ugly and worrying are the constant accusations of racism that Democrats fling against Republicans, and their regular attempts to find signs of the racism that they “just know” is there.

For instance the Democrat operative who showed up at a Romney/Ryan rally this week wearing a T-shirt with a racist slogan hidden under his coat. He found a photographer and stood right in front of his camera, took off his coat, and managed to get photographed once, before security noticed his shirt and kicked him out. But that one photo is now being circulated as “evidence” of Republican racism.

1. Did we support Gore-Lieberman because Lieberman is “one of us.”

2. Consider that Obama is biologically half WASP, culturally amost pure WASP, and his “black” ancestry is African rather than American (no history of slavery or oppression in his family).

3. Perhaps the real issue is that most African American tend to be very blue on economic issue (all for government entitlements, not so concerned about balancing the budger) – just like our own community

The problem is all these people don’t realize that they ARE racist. Voting for a “black person” because he understands “blacks” better, is basically saying its the color of the skin – NOT the actual person. If being black translates to understanding blacks better, then you are admitting that one SHOULD judge by the skin color. Point being: a person whose skin is black = a person who understands blacks better. So what we see from all these black people is, that we should judge by their color. There is no mention by these people of Obama understanding blacks better because of any other reason besides his skin color.
Unfortunately the only ones responsible for racism against blacks today are the blacks themselves. They are the ones who keep on making the issue -whatever it may be- a color issue. If something goes wrong, the first thing the blame is the fact that they are black. Blacks always seem to throw their color into every possible scenario.
If the blacks want to completely erase the “race issue” from the everyday picture, they should stop blaming everything on color. Why can’t one get up and say “I voted for Obama because I like his policies”.

Ofcourse they do and ofcourse it is racism. Take a look at all of the black rappers and celebrities who come throw fundraisers, tweet, rally, donate all in support of Obama. They never showed any interest in politics before, ever.
