Let's look at a non-exhaustive list of racism examples since Obama took office.
--Feb. 18, 2009: Obama's attorney general, Eric Holder, accused the nation of being a nation of cowards on race.
--April 2009: NewsBusters reported that at the behest of the National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters, Democratic Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein demanded a government inquiry into how the electronic Portable People Meter (used to measure radio ratings and which experts believe to be a far more reliable measure than the previous system) collects data. Obama's FCC indeed ordered an inquiry in the name of "diversity" because under the modern system, hip-hop ratings had declined and conservative talk ratings had increased.
--May 2009: White House press secretary Robert Gibbs warned critics of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor to measure their words carefully, implying they were race-based.
--May 2009: The Obama-Holder Justice Department dismissed a case against New Black Panther Party members for voter intimidation, even though it had already won the case. Former Justice lawyer J.

Christian Adams said that the NAACP lobbied Obama to have the case dismissed and that the case was dismissed based on the Justice Department's outrageous policy of not prosecuting such cases against blacks when they involve white victims.
--July 2009: Not having heard all the facts, Obama accused Cambridge, Mass., police of "acting stupidly" in arresting a friend of his, Harvard professor Henry Gates, for disorderly conduct, dangling race as a motive for the arrest.
--August 2009: The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights raised constitutional questions about the Obama administration's giving preferential treatment to minority students for scholarships and favoring medical schools that have records of sending graduates to areas with inadequate health care services.
--September 2009: A video surfaced of Obama's "green jobs czar," Van Jones, saying, "You've never seen a Columbine done by a black child." It's "suburbanite white kids" who do it.
--September 2009: Obama's FCC "diversity czar," Mark Lloyd, was seen on video saying, "There are few things, I think, more frightening in the American mind than dark-skinned black men." He also said, by the way, that the Fairness Doctrine wasn't enough to restore fairness to broadcasting. In 2005, Lloyd had complained that white Americans owned and controlled 98 percent of all federal broadcast licenses. Lloyd suggested at one point that white media executives should "step down" in favor of minorities.
--September 2009: Politico reported that in a speech to the Congressional Black Caucus, Obama "opened with a fiery civil rights talk, ticking off racial disparities, calling for greater enforcement of civil rights laws and saying that the new White House Office of Urban affairs is working to address inequality." He also compared Obamacare to the civil rights struggle.
--October 2009: The Obama-Holder Justice Department overruled a decision by the city of Kinston, N.C., to do away with party affiliation of candidates in local elections, saying that equal rights for black voters cannot be achieved without the Democratic Party.
--February 2010: After Obama had twice insulted Las Vegas and discouraged tourism there, Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman strongly criticized him, which led Obama supporters to accuse Goodman of racism.
--March 2010: The Obama administration filed a brief supporting racial preferences in university admissions.
--March 2010: Rep. John Lewis alleged that tea party protesters hurled racial slurs, but videos of the alleged incident did not corroborate it, making many believe the charges were fabricated.
--March 2010 -- The Rev. Jeremiah Wright said tea party opposition to Obamacare was based on hatred for "people of color." New York Times columnist Frank Rich made similar allegations.
--April 2010: WorldNetDaily reported that Gerry Hudson, executive vice president of the Service Employees International Union, said white American workers are "so f---ing rabidly racist" their sentiments can be used to scare blacks into supporting comprehensive immigration reform.
--April 2010: The Washington Examiner reported that a reporter asked a black protester whether he was "uncomfortable" as part of the tea party.
--Then there's the administration's playing the race card against Arizona's non-racial-profiling law, Obama's suggesting al-Qaida is racist, Obama's saying Israel is suspicious of him because of his middle name -- as opposed to his horrendous policies toward it -- and the NAACP's calling the tea party racist and then denying it.
It turns out that others are noticing this above-described phenomenon, as well, as a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll revealed that fewer and fewer people believe Obama's presidency has advanced racial relations -- 4 in 10, compared with 6 in 10 when he was inaugurated.
This is a very sad turn of events in this nation.

BUCHANAN TO OBAMA
By Patrick J. Buchanan
Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America ..
Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation..
White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to....
This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard.
And among them are these:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks.
It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships,
grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation,
and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity
blacks have ever known..
Jeremiah Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God
he is an American.
Second, no people anywhere have done more to lift up blacks
than white Americans.
Untold trillions have been spent since the ' 60s
on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants,
student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits
and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community
into the mainstream.
Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination
against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set...

on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants,
student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits
and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community
into the mainstream.
Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination
against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides
and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.
Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America
have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education,
day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude??
Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks.
Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools
how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters
handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids...?
Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime
and incarceration rates for African-Americans
are seven times those of white America ?
Is it really white America 's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community
has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?
Is that the fault of white America
or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?
As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime,
and especially interracial crimes of violence.
Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time,
black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?
Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common
than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common
in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?
We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al
about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena .
And all turned out to be hoaxes.
But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real,
we hear nothing.
Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before,
about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.
He's the epitome of "It's all about me"!
Just read the first page.
He starts off his book describing how he used to have fun with his 'roommate' yelling at rich "white people" who were walking their dogs in 'his' neighborhood while sitting on his porch smoking a cigarette . . . "Scoop the poop, you bastards!"
And then laughing as they 'hunkered down' from his intimidation.
Racist? You betcha. Against rich white people.
Probably because he spent his formative years outside the United States.
I don't really think he knows what it is to be an American.
What he does know about us he is ashamed of and apologetic for.
I do know, he wants to make this country more economically Socialist.
And he makes no bones about 'fundamentally transforming' this country to a European failed Socialist nation.
Just click on the picture of his book and choose "First few pages" to read the excerpt.
