We're (mostly) All Racists Now

Sometimes agitprop is more base, blatant, and insulting to the intelligence of the average parakeet than usual. Here's an example :
AP poll: Majority harbor prejudice against blacks

By The Associated Press

Racial attitudes have not improved in the four years since the United States elected its first black president, an Associated Press poll finds, as a slight majority of Americans now express prejudice toward blacks whether they recognize those feelings or not.

Those views could cost President Barack Obama votes as he tries for re-election, the survey found, though the effects are mitigated by some Americans' more favorable views of blacks.
Where to begin? How about here: "...majority of Americans now express prejudice toward blacks whether they recognize those feelings or not." In other words, you're probably a racist whether you know it or not. Why? Because they said so.

Incidentally, when was the last time anyone ever published a story about a poll taken that shows how many blacks "harbor prejudice"?

This smells like agitprop completely devoid of even the slightest hint of artistic flourish. It is agitprop for idiots, by idiots; a naked effort to inflame racial tensions and incite social unrest.

OK, maybe that's over the top. But at the very least, it's a naked attempt to blame the Imminent Ouster of The 0ne on the collective you, instead of on his Marxist political beliefs, his failure as an executive, his vacuous historical record, his unbearable, inescapable incompetence and/or his arrogant, antagonistic personality.

In other words, it's another device by the Obama campaign to draw attention to itself. Its sheer brazenness indicates that it is born of desperation. They know they haven't a prayer of winning a second term, so they do what all natural-born despots do when being shown the door: set fire to the city. Rhetorically, at least. We wouldn't bet on seeing them or their groupies to go quietly.

But let's pretend for a minute that there's a kernel of kredibility in this krock of krap, komrade. IF (big "if") "Racial attitudes have not improved in the four years since the United States elected its first black president," maybe its because four years of race hustling by "team Obama" is getting old.

Maybe it's because being shown Barack Hussein Obama, alleged black, his spiritual guru, America-hater Jeremiah Wright, Michelle and her Jet-setting, the whole lot of this administration from hell have made "Holder's People" look really bad.

And maybe it's just because it's agitprop after all, and the Omedia have always told us that, if we disapprove of President Barack Obama, it's proof that we are racists. Whether we know it or not.

Yeah, that's getting old.
