What should Obama do to prove he likes white people?
He should reach out to us somehow.

How about he initiates White History Month? :shrug:

19. act more like this guy?


Ronald Reagan: White Heaven is for decent, good, God-fearing Christians who just happen to, well, hate everyone and everything relating to black people. That means no Muhammad Ali, no hip-hop music and no fucking Jesse Jackson.

Uncle Ruckus: What about Whoopi Goldberg?

Ronald Reagan: Nope.

Uncle Ruckus: Ohhh! This *is* Heaven!

It wouldn't hurt if he could prove he likes the left, likes teachers, likes labor, likes the rule of law, likes peace, likes the citizens who don't hold political or economic power.

Every president before Obama never had to prove they liked Blacks, Hispanics, Indians or any other minority.

that's the only thing birthers and similar types who accuse him of not being american and racist against whites will accept.

Schoolkids nationwide will paste corrected pages in their History books. Realistic biographies of JE Hoover, Prescott Bush, Allen Dulles, and Smedley Butler will be broadcast, as will miniseries about Tesla/Edison/Marconi and the Great Robber Barons.

40. Invite me to the White House
where we could reminisce about 2004. (The last time I saw him or heard from him personally.) We could then discuss (with the press)how the poor people need preventive health care so that we can cut the cost of their health care in the long run.

This is a selfish thing on my part. And it would do him no good but I would like to speak my mind at the moment. :evilgrin:

51. Why "likes white people"?
I assume this is in reference to the goofy "Obama is racist" line that's circulated a bit.

My mother is pretty racist, and is an ardent Obama supporter. Can't always say what he stands for or what he wants, but, dammit, he went to Harvard and he's a dem so he's automatically a good guy. My mom's a bit strange that way--somehow she confuses parchment with character and learning with wisdom. I point out that the Unabomber went to Harvard and had a PhD, not just a JD, and moreover was tenure-track not just a beefed up lecturer, and she scowls and says he wasn't a dem. Eh.

Obama has his own narrative, one that's largely vicarious, since he believes he belongs to one group while his life patterns much more closely with the group he was born into. He has as much trouble realizing this as most other people do in recognizing the narratives that trap them--more so, since his narrative is one that tends to receive public approval and validation. While trapped, it's hard to be honest with oneself and with others, so it's hard to have an honest conversation. It's evern harder when you're a politician, and abandoning your narrative would create political problems (being cutting edge isn't always the popular thing).
