What do they say about Disneyland, Disneyworld, the happiest place on Earth? conservative radio host Mark Levin said on his show Friday. I think they say about Marthas Vineyard for you racialists and race-baiters out there I think they say its the whitest place on Earth. Levin spent some time criticizing President Barack Obama for taking his family to a vacation on Marthas Vineyard while theres genocide going on in Iraq.
He lists off some more horrors being committed by the Islamo-Nazis before asking, Why would we expect the president to cancel his vacation to Marthas Vineyard? While he found it amazing that Obama is finally showing some muscle in Iraq with military airstrikes on ISIS artillery, he could not get over the fact that he was, in the same week, traveling to the whitest place on Earth. And we know how you hate whites, Levin continued, saying Obama would be better off vacationing in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He talks race, he uses race, he pushes race. Vacation? Marthas Vineyard.
While Marthas Vineyard is no doubt a ritzy island with more than its fair share of white people, Levin is clearly unaware of its rich history as a summer destination for wealthy black families. This is particularly true of Oak Bluffs, where African-American families began summering as early as the 1890s. The towns main beach became pejoratively known as The Inkwell, a name that was later embraced by the people who frequented it.
During President Obamas first year on office, MSNBCs Touré wrote an article for New York Magazine titled Black and White on Marthas Vineyard, which speculated about how the Obamas vacation experience on the island, known for its self-imposed racial segregation, might differ from that of the Clintons. While the Obamas do stay in one of the more traditionally white sections of the island in Chilmark (primarily for logistical reasons), as Touré predicted, they do make an effort to spend time in Oak Bluffs.

(63,912 posts)The Vineyard is where they came to establish a settlement and the town honors them today. You can find Skip Gates there, riding his oversized triciycle. The island is a Democratic, liberal stronghold and plenty of black people take that ferry to and from the island in the summer.
Many people don't know this. Now you do. Pass it along to anyone you know who tells you different.
If they do, tell them they're thinking about Nantucket (a vacation land for republicans)...

(108,209 posts)G DUHbya was on vacation a total of 382 days during his presidency. Congress only works three days a week and takes the whole month of August off.
This asshole has the nerve to complain about Obama taking a vacation?

(4,751 posts)That our black president takes his also black family to a largely white area is a bad thing?
That our black president shouldn't hang out with white citizens?
That our black president should only go where there are a lot of black people?
I can't come up with an interpretation of your remarks, Mark, that doesn't make you sound at least a little bit racist.
