Friends…this guy must have flunked history classes, skipped the classes or said what he said intentionally…either way, talk about a mind is a terrible thing to waste, he gives proof to that in the report I’m going to put below.

Bob Herbert, former opinion writer for the New York Times and NBC correspondent, made some startling admissions about his views on whites in America and their relationship with blacks.

Speaking on a panel at Stony Brook University in New York, Mr. Herbert discussed his views on how absurd it is to think that white people ever supported the civil rights of black people in this country. When an audience member asked about the possibility of white solidarity, Herbert, shaken by the sheer assumption of the question, lashed out:

”A majority of whites have never favored equal rights in this country. Never, ever, ever, ever. It’s never even been close — It is a fantasy to talk about the idea of a majority of whites supporting the rights of blacks.”

Herbert then breathlessly noted that “a majority of whites voted against Barack Obama for President in just this past election.” According to CNN, Obama did end up receiving 43% of the overall white vote.

Herbert, still shaken, barraged the audience with a litany of nervous citations as he attempted to defend his seemingly indefensible statement.

Not supporting the black candidate is evidence of racism. doesn't matter wheither you agree with his policy or not, because if you don't then you must be a racist.

i would not support Obama just for that attitude if I had no other.

Some will do whatever it takes to maintain their view of themselves as victims - even make fools of themselves in front of an audience.

If I were in their shoes, I would be making whatever strides possible so as NOT to view myself as a victim.

That's one of the big differences between liberals and Conservatives.

Some evidence for this, if you please.
