Washed-up race warlord and pimp Jesse Jackson managed to turn the healthcare debate into a matter of race. Here's how it happened. There is one member of the Congressional Black Caucus that voted against the House healthcare bill, and that was Alabama Democrat Rep. Arthur Davis.

While not referring to his specifically by name, at a reception the other night Jesse Jackson commented, "We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill ... You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man."

Hey, Jessie! Wassamatta U? Run out of corporations to blackmale, you race pimp? Well .. here's an idea! Why don't you run for President! Yeah .. put yourself up there with someone like Obama. At least Obama has class.

God help us.

It's come down to a runoff between Kasim Reed and Mary Norwood. Reed is black. Norwood is white. So ... we have a racially-charged runoff coming up. I'm guessing Reed will be the next Atlanta Mayor. Why? Because votes will be cast on racial lines, and there are more black than white voters in Atlanta. Mary Norwood has made some statements recently indicating how horrible she thinks Republicans are ... so I can't see Republicans making any real effort to vote in the runoff. In my view the big difference between the two is that Reed voted for the recent massive property tax increase and Norwood voted against it.

Let's also make this point. Blacks who vote for the black candidate on the basis of race are conscientious voters. Whites who vote for the white candidate on the basis of race are --- racists.

Where did we get this? Well, from MSNBC, of course. MSNBC anchor Carlos Watson had this little gem for listeners last Monday:

"..you start to wonder whether in fact the word socialist is becoming a code word, whether or not socialist is becoming the new N-word for frankly for some angry upset birthers and others."

No surprise there. After all, haven't we learned that any criticism leveled at The Community Organizer has to be based on nothing but the fact that he's a black man in the White House. It's ALL racist; not just using the "socialist" word, but ALL criticism. Get used to it. It's really pretty simple ... if you don't believe that government is what makes America great .. you're a racist. Now you know.

In case it's still not clear to you; in case you're still wondering if you might be a racist or not ... I found some help for you. Just follow this flow chart!

You'll see that the chart came from "Missourah.com" You ought to check out the website. It's pretty good! Now bookmarked for use in my show preparation.

Barack Obama came out with this line earlier this week for his political opponents. He says that "just because I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm not tough."

But let me jog your memory for a moment. Remember during the election, we discovered all of these things that made you a racist when talking about Barack Obama? And if you'll recall, there was a columnist who actually proposed that referring to Obama's skinniness was racist. Timothy Noah's "When 'Skinny' Means 'Black.'"

Now I ask the question in this context, is Barack Obama racist?

I'm serious. You'd better be careful out there - we have a bunch of racists running around. Why do I say that? Because new polling from CNN/Opinion Research Corporation shows that 51% of Americans disagree with Obama on the issues that matter most to them. Now we know that The Community Organizer is so wise, so pure, so all-knowing; and he cares so much for each and every one of us ... even us crackers ... that there could be only one reason to oppose anything this wonderful man wants to do, and that is because we're racists! We just can't handle the idea of a black man in the White House - and we were fooled! We only found out he was black after we elected him! That's the only possible reason you could ever disagree with The Community Organizer on the issues that matter most to you. Not because you used your brain and an ounce of common sense to realize that things still aren't looking too good out there.

That comes straight from the Obama administration - equal rights for black voters cannot be achieved without the Democrat Party.

Here's the scenario. Voters in Kinston, North Carolina decided that they wanted to get rid of party affiliations for candidates in local elections ... positions like City Council and Mayor. Then along comes Barack Obama's Justice Department. The imperial federal government swoops in to save a small town from its own sovereign ignorance! The Justice Department overruled the voters, decided that partisan were needed in this town so that black voters can get their candidates elected. In this case, black "candidates of choice" were identified by the Justice Department as Democrats. Apparently the Justice Department believes that white voters will only vote for black candidates if they are Democrats. So you get rid of the party affiliations and all of the sudden this is a violation of black voters' right to elect candidates they want!

Bear in mind that this is the same Justice Department that dropped the case against the Black Panthers who were intimidating voters at a voting precinct in Pennsylvania during the election.

Andrew Klavan's latest video explores the one group in the American melting pot that has consistently underperformed in terms of productivity, intelligence and moral behavior ...

Yesterday we learned that heat in Phoenix, Arizona is racist. Yup. The headline read something like "Heat affects Poor and Minorities the Most." Like somehow we are to believe that heat discriminates based on how much light reflects off your skin or how many wheels you have on your house.

Today's asinine headline comes to us from Arlington, Virginia: "Race a Factor in HOT Lanes." What is an HOT lane? It is a High Occupancy Vehicle lane that you have to pay a toll in order to ride. I guess that means "High Occupancy Toll." Now since you have to pay to drive in these lanes, they are said to benefit wealthy white people and therefore are a symbol of discrimination.

A lawsuit has been filed claiming that these HOT lanes discriminate. Court attorneys argue that HOT lanes, "encourage and enable a financially-able, privileged class of suburban and rural, primarily Caucasian residents from Stafford and Spotsylvania counties operating single occupancy vehicles ("SOV") unimpeded access on toll lanes."

The suit also claims that the actions of the Federal Highway Administration and the Virginia Department of Transportation "constituted civil rights violations as they discriminated against minority and low income communities."

Wait a minute! A civil rights violation? Well, then ... wouldn't that mean that minorities are having their civil rights violated every single time some hideous white person can afford to buy something or use a service that some poor minority can't? Maybe those homes out there in those suburbs are civil rights violations themselves?

This lawsuit should be thrown out and the attorneys who brought it sanctioned. It won't and they won't. More to say on this on the show.

.... Would you please sit down and shut up you old fool!

Yup. Think about this one for a moment. You're a young black man or woman, you're finishing up your education and hope to have a career in politics. Along comes Barack Obama and you're just elated! The barrier has been broken and a black man is now President of the United States! Your path is clear!

But wait! In the early months of Obama's presidency his inexperience starts to show. He fails on several big fronts: Health care, cap-and-trade and the union card-check bill. He tries to convince the American people that he can provide health care to 30+ million Americans who are now uninsured ... and that he can do it with fewer doctors and nurses while spending less than we're spending right now ... and all this without every denying anyone the health care they may need. The American people don't buy it.

Let's see .. what else. Where do we start? He negotiates an automobile bailout plan that favors unions at the expense of secured investors. He appoints a serial tax cheat to run the Treasury Department. He starts a trade war with China. He tells our European allies that they're on their own when it comes to defense against incoming ballistic missiles .. and on and on and on.

So .. as Obama's incompetence becomes more evident; as his anti-capitalistic philosophy fleshes out before our eyes; and his lies see the light of day ... the criticisms start coming in. How do the liberals respond! Predictably, that's how. Everyone who criticizes the president is simply a racist! They just don't like a black man in the white house!

Now .. just how does this hurt future political aspirants? How does it hurt you? You already understand, don't you? The majority of voters out there are still white ... and unless you're going to be content being a mayor or city councilman in a city or district with a majority black voting base, you're going to need some votes from the white side. You know that many white voters are feeling a little shell shocked right now. Many of them voted for Obama. They thought the time had come when our country was going to move beyond race! Wouldn't that have been wonderful? But in light of recent events they think that they might have made a mistake. They did what they thought was right and certainly politically correct, and suddenly they're racists because they have voiced some disagreements with Obama policies?

So .. what happens when you try to run for office? The voters out there looking at you may have no personal problem with you at all. But there's this lingering fear ... a fear born of the likes of Jimmy Carter, James Clyburn, Maureen Dowd, Howard Dean, Newsweek Magazine, The New York Times and others ... the fear that if these voters ever find it necessary to question or to object to something you do in office, they're going to be branded racists. Who, after all, is going to want to put you in office if your skin color makes you politically bulletproof? So .. they plan to play it safe from now on. Vote for whites. At least when they screw up you can go after them without putting on a white robe and cone hat.

The race baiters aren't doing you any favors. But you knew that, didn't you?

The people of California should be spanked for continuing to re-elect Maxine Waters to the Congress. This woman is truly a reflection of what I like to call the dumb masses. She's a notorious race pimp, so this whole uproar about racism probably sends tingles up her leg. She is just itching to jump into the conversation.

So here's what she had to add to this countries dialogue on race.

Maxine Waters believes that the media should investigate the racial views of conservative activists, like people who attend tea party rallies. She believes that it is not enough for African-Americans ... or as us non politically correct people like to say, "blacks" ... it is not enough for blacks to cry racism against these people. What we really need to do is use the media to expose their racist bias.

Here is how it went in her own words: "I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed ... I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers ... I think it's not enough for African-Americans to say what they think, what they suspect ... I think that if you put the microphones in front of them, if you do the interviews, they'll tell you what they believe, what they think."

By the way, do you think it is fair to lump birthers and tea party protesters in the same category? Because that seems to be the norm for Democrats lately. I would hope there would be a giant difference between people who are fed up with the size of our imperial federal government and the moonbats who believe that Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

When Jimmy Carter isn't busy looking for a new despotic dictator to sleep with he occupies himself with looking for alternate ways to look foolish. Yesterday he did what everyone who knows him expected him to do .. he weighed in on Rep. Joe Wilson's "you lie" outburst during PrezBO's speech to congress last week. And - to the surprise of absolutely nobody - Carter has opined that Wilson's behavior was rooted in racism.

If you don't live in Atlanta you would really have no way of knowing that we view Carter as a highly visible crazy uncle who wanders around muttering to himself most of the time. We're glad you got to share in our pain on this one.

Do you folks remember Cynthia McKinney? Yeah .. the cutest little communist in Congress. Well, I have good news for you. Her seat in Congress is being occupied by someone who is every bit as nutty as she was. Just not as cute. His name is Hank Johnson. Johnson wants to be on the list with Jimmy Carter of people who blame Joe Wilson's comment on racism. Here's is the asinine comment from Rep. Hank Johnson.

Yup .. there you go. Hank Johnson says that people are going to start wearing white hoods if the House of Representatives doesn't rebuke Joe Wilson for his outburst.

Don't you folks fret none about the people who live in Johnson's district. Remember .. Cynthia McKinney. They're used to being represented in Congress by race pimps and fools. They've perfected the practice of going to congressmen in neighboring districts for constituent services while their congressman parades around all day in clown makeup.

And just who didn't see all of this coming? Come on, folks! Having you been paying attention for the past 30 years? In virtually every state and community in this nation liberals have been blaming racism for any failure, miscalculation, controversy or outright act of corruption by black elected officials. There has been a standard operating methodology in place for all of the 40 years I've been doing talk radio:

1. Black citizen elected to office.
2. Black official runs into opposition to policy objectives or has a problem with corruption.
3. Black supporters and liberals blame the problems on race.

One-two-three. This scenario has been played out so many times in modern American history it would have been impossible to keep count. Now a black man has become president. Some fools thought that this would help our country move beyond racial division. Well --- perhaps it would have, if only evil white people had been smart enough not to object to anything this man might propose. But it didn't work out that way, so now the left and the media are finding racists under every bed, behind every utility pole and on every street in America. Newsweek Magazine even ran a totally absurd story about racism in babies ... putting a picture of a white infant on the cover with the title "Is your baby racist?" Read that story and you'll find that the authors think that it would be horrifying if a white child were to ever express pride in being white.

Last year, before the election, some of us predicted that if (or when) Barack Obama became president that this would happen. We said that every time his policies met with opposition the left would start screaming racism. So what happened when we said that this would happen? Well ... you guessed it. We were called racists. You just can't imagine how surprised and shocked we were.

So .. here is what Jimmy Carter, Bill Moyers, Hank Johnson, much of the Washington and New York press corps, Newsweek Magazine and the brilliant thinkers on the American left would have you believe of Americans right now:

• We would be more than willing to welcome cap-and-trade with open arms, even if we paid a thousand dollars or more extra every year for our energy use, if Barack Obama were only white.
• We would be dancing in the streets celebrating the dawning of government control of our health care if only Barack Obama were white.
• It would be just dandy if government bureaucrats rationed health care for our parents, as long as the president is white.
• We would jump at the chance of the government owning ALL of the auto manufacturing companies .. not just General Motors ... if the president just didn't have dark skin.
• We would applaud those ACORN workers giving tax avoidance advice to a pimp and his prostitute if the workers hadn't been black.
• Most Americans - even ones that don't pay income taxes now - would be more than willing to give 70% of everything they earn to the federal government when asked ... so long as they are asked by a white president.
• We would have been thrilled, I tell you ... THRILLED to have all of those Islamic goons being held at Guantanamo be not only released, but sent to be school resource officers at our local government schools, if only a white president put that plan in motion.
• It would be OK if a white president stood back and allowed Iran to build its coveted nukes ... we're only unhappy about that because a black president is doing it.
• Deficits? We don't care about deficits! Make our children and grand children and great grand children pay through the nose for our president's spending habits ... just so long as the president isn't black.
• Government pork? Like we actually care? Look ... you folks in Washington can spend all the money you want - how about more studies of the mating habits of Polish Zlotnika pigs? - just make sure it's not a black president who signs the spending bill into law.
• We wouldn't care if all illegal aliens were counted twice in the next Census ... just so long as the president isn't black.
• Those Black Panther thugs who threatened voters in Philly? The ONLY reason we're upset that they were given a pass is because Barack Obama is black.
• Every single member of the president's cabinet could be a tax cheat as far as we're concerned ... just so long as the president is white.
• Forced unionization? Bring it on! We love card check! We love the idea of union goons threatening and intimidating workers to sign a card saying they want to belong to a union! What we don't like is that a black president is pushing this idea.
• Single-party talks with that Gargoyle that runs North Korea? It's about time we legitimized that little pipsqueak. We're only mildly upset here because the person who is doing that happens to be black.
• More regulation of the finance sector? We could care less! For all we care you can nationalize the banks and decree that only the government can make home loans .. .and you can even apportion those home loans on the basis of race if you want to ... just so long as the president is white!
• Minimum wage? Like we care about that? Raise it to $15 an hour if you want! Just give us our white president back.

Yeah .. the moonbat left really has us figured out, don't they?

Clearly we know of the recent scandals involving ACORN ... unless you have been living under a rock. Or you are Charlie Gibson. But at any rate, it turns out that after all the fuss and calls for ACORN to sue FOX News ... ACORN can't legally operate in the state of Maryland. Here's the deal:

According to the following documents, ACORN, Inc. - the parent organization of all things ACORN - forfeited its corporate charter in Maryland in 2006. ACORN Housing forfeited its corporate charter in 2008. Any ACORN office in the state of Maryland is potentially operating illegally.

This leads me to the latest Republican endeavor ... defunding ACORN. House Republicans have introduced the Defund ACORN Act to make sure that ACORN does not receive one more penny from the taxpayers.

This, as we've already pointed out, is most certainly based on racism.

If the Democrats treat this the same way they have treated Republicans proposals, bills and amendments on healthcare ... it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I would have thought that the 24/7 news cycle and the short attention span of Americans would have put this story to bed by now. But the fallout from Rep. Joe Wilson's "you lie" outburst last week continues to make the news. I bring this story to your attention because I have been harping on the resurrection of the race card lately. Great recent example? The DC tea party this weekend. You do know that those people on the mall were all a bunch of racists, don't you?

Now Joe Wilson is a racist as well. He didn't yell "you lie" at Obama because Obama was lying .. he did it because Obama is black. Read this from Newsbusters.

The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), also known as the Black Press of America, which is a non-partisan 501(c) 3 tax-exempt organization, has decided to show its disapproval of South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's "You Lie" remarks by canceling a convention in the state.

"Rep. Wilson's remarks were racist, disrespectful and a disingenuous violation - not only of President Obama - but to the institution of the presidency and only solidified our position and the importance in not spending Black dollars where Black people are not respected," NNPA Chairman Danny J. Bakewell Sr. said in a statement.

Would somebody please have Chairman Danny Bakewell explain to me what was "racist" about Joe Wilson's outburst of "you lie"? I agree that is was disrespectful. But racist? That is one of the most overused words in the English language. When you hear someone yell "racist" you know you are listening to a limited intellect on a temper tantrumThe only reason his outburst is "racist" is because too many people are walking around this country with racial chips on their shoulder.

But in case you haven't heard ..... you Tea Partiers have brought back the issue of race. This is the other way the MSM chooses to handle these protests. The liberal media can't, for the life of them, understand that there could be this many people who are not in love with massive and overbearing government. So they are trying to come up with other reasons why so many people would gather in protest, and the one reason they keep returning to is race. They continue to believe that this outcry has nothing to do with our imperial federal government but has everything to do with the color of the president's skin.

Take a look at this screen shot, for example, from CNN. Along with its coverage of the Tea Party in Washington over the weekend, CNN questioned whether or not this had anything to do with race.

In another example of race-baiting, Maureen Dowd of the New York Times wrote a column accusing Rep. Joe Wilson of racism. She says, "Surrounded by middle-aged white guys -- a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own men's club -- Joe Wilson yelled "You lie!" at a president who didn't. But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!"

Oh .. .and while we're at it, everyone knows that the Asian woman who called a foot-fault on Serena Williams over the weekend is a die-hard racist and probably has a white sheet and hood in the back of her car.

Even ACORN has jumped back into the race issue ......

The mainstream media also had a hard time covering the ACORN scandal that hit last week. To my knowledge, FOX was the only channel carrying the story that went a little something like this: James O'Keefe video tapped his counseling session with an ACORN employee. He posed as a pimp and brought along a "prostitute" and was advised by an ACORN employee how they could get loans for their prostitution business, etc.

Somehow, the revelation of this video turned into an issue of race.

Here's a statement released by Margaret Williams, a board member of Maryland's ACORN office: It is clear and not coincidence that FOX continues to attack and divide our nation along racial lines. We believe our country is beyond this type of attack and call on all Americans to demand that FOX stop its racist coverage.

Here's another statement from ACORN's chief organizer Bertha Lewis. She says that conservative forces were conspiring to make ACORN the "Willie Horton for 2009." She also says, "We are the boogeyman for the right wing and its echo chambers."

The latest? Now ACORN is claiming that the video was altered and in no way represents what went on in that office in Baltimore.

Meanwhile, the fallout from this ACORN expose is not looking good for James O'Keefe. He is now facing the prospect of being prosecuted by Baltimore City's State Attorney. His crime? Violating a Maryland law that makes it illegal to tape someone without prior permission. If he is convicted, he could go to state prison for five years.

Isn't this just rich? O'Keefe vividly illustrates for the American people the essential corrupt nature of the ACORN organization .. and now he's facing the possibility of criminal prosecution. The ACORN workers who aided and abetted the illegal prostitution business? They can't be prosecuted because the only evidence against them was illegally obtained .... In Maryland you can't videotape someone without their permission.

Something good has come from this whole episode. The Census bureau has informed ACORN that they will have no role assisting the federal government in the 2010 Census. I say watch this one closely. The Obama Administration is going to do all it can go inflate the census numbers in minority areas, especially Hispanic areas, so we'll see if this ban of ACORN actually holds. My guess? ACORN will be up to its usual corrupt tricks during the Census. We'll see if I get a big "I told you so" on this one.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution tells us that there were four perfect 2400 scores in Georgia on the SAT test. Wunnerful wunnerful. Let's have our own little test right here: First, we'll do what the diversity mavens like to do so much, and that is divide Georgia school children into four different ethnic classifications.

[  ] White
[  ] Black
[  ] Hispanic
[  ] Asian

There you go. Remember, to the diversity cops it's all about ethnic heritage, not so much about personal character, ability, effort or traits.

OK ... Now you go ahead and put a number beside each ethnic classification showing how you think those four perfect SAT scores were distributed.

Done? If you put the number 4 beside Asian, you have just made a perfect score on our own little test! Aren't you proud! Their names are Cong "Tom" Hui, Michelle Liu, Marissa Pan and Tanya Nguyen. You can read their stories here.

So - do you think that all four of the Georgia students who scored a perfect 2400 on their SAT did so because of some genetic inherent superiority of the Asian people? It's not genetics, folks. It's culture. Read the stories. In every case these kids came from a family - a culture - that honored and prized education. You can bet that when these students worked hard in class or actually brought in their homework their Asian classmates didn't accuse them of trying to "act white." You can also bet they weren't denigrated by friends for learning to speak English in an understandable and proper manner.

This "culture" message doesn't sit well with a lot of people. Why not? Because culture is something you can change. You cannot change your race. If you fail to rise above the negative aspects of the culture in which you were raised, your bad. For many it is so much easier to blame failures on skin color - something you can't change.

When it comes to political appointments, Barack Obama has done one heckuva job. Wouldn't you say? Here's just another fine example. Obama's green jobs czar is a man by the name of Van Jones. He is a civil rights, human rights, and environmental activist. Take a listen to some of the comments Jones had to say about white environmentalists in January of 2008.

Did you catch that?

"Because they don't have a racial justice frame ... white polluters steered poison into minority communities."

Also, earlier this year Jones told an audience that Republicans are blocking Barack Obama's proposals because they are "a**holes." He calls that "a technical, political science term."

Certainly elevating the level of debate there, isn't he? This is the self-described "post-partisan" president appointing jerks like Van Jones to positions of (God help us) power. He's a bigot and doesn't belong in a taxpayer funded job.

Is there a connection? Why yes! There is!

Just yesterday we learned that Obama's Attorney General, the ethically-challenged Eric Holder, is appointing a special prosecutor to go after the CIA agents who saved American lives by using somewhat harsh interrogation techniques against Muslim terrorist detainees. Never mind that both Obama and Holder had made earlier promises that they would not pursue a vendetta against these operatives. That was then, and this is now ... and now the uber-left is demanding some sort of legal action against the Bush Administration for what they view as the horrors of the Bush years. After all, "we won," so why can't we prosecute the losers? The political bloodlust of the left must be assuaged!

In the midst of all of this I want to remind you of something. During the election last November a group of Black Panther goons stood outside of a polling place in downtown Philly. They were wearing paramilitary costumes and were carrying nightsticks. As white voters would approach this polling place these thugs would yell "You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker!"

Well .. this happened to be against the law. One former civil rights lawyer and publisher of the liberal Village Voice called the episode "one of the most blatant forms of voter intimidation I've ever seen." So here comes the Justice Department. The BUSH Justice Department. At the beginning of January a civil lawsuit was filed against the New Black Panther Party and three of its goons for violation of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. None of the defendants would even file a response to the lawsuit. Perhaps they knew that they had nothing to worry about.

And so it came to be!

Just what do you think happened to this action against the Black Panthers? Why, it was dismissed! Eric Holder allowed these goons to walk. Lawsuit dismissed. One defendant was told that he could never carry a weapon within 100 feet of a polling place again .. the other three walked away.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is Obama's Attorney General. He will permit Black Panther thugs to intimidate white U.S. Voters, but if you work for the CIA, and if you're charged with the responsibility of discovering information on future terrorist attacks against our people - if your job is to save American lives instead of intimidate white voters - you had better lawyer up. Eric Holder is coming after you with guns blazing.

Elections have consequences. Black Panthers walk. CIA operatives get put under investigation.

This interview appeared on CNN sometime yesterday. The person being interviewed was a guy by the name of Tim Wise ... whoever in the wide wide world of sports THAT is. So let me just get right to it. He says that the reason Americans don't want healthcare reform is because a large percentage of white America associate social spending race. He says, "There is a perception that when we talk about government spending for the 'have-nots,' we are talking about taking from hard-working white people and giving to lazy black folks." Meanwhile, CNN has this interview labeled as a "Developing Story: Healthcare Showdown."

This guy also says, "When the country the founders envisioned was a formal system of white supremacy, excuse me if I find it a little hard to think that race is not perhaps playing a pretty big role."

Race pimps .. they will always be with us. Just laugh at them and maybe they'll go away.

You know, folks, I am sick of this argument. We saw it coming, we knew it would get here, and we know it's never going to go away .. but it's tiring nonetheless.

Yesterday on the show I had a caller, Charles, tell me that the only reason we are seeing these protests against healthcare is because we have a black president. How typical. Another chip-on-the-shoulder moonbat heard from. But Charles was only reciting his liberal talking points that he learned from the lamestream media. Like Chris Matthews, for example. Chris said on his program the other day, "Are you telling me that these guys were created by this new president? That the people we're watching on television with their guns and their attitudes about the republic weren't around before January 20th?!...Okay I think, I think some of the people are upset because we have a black president."

This is nothing new. For decades the left has pulled out the race card whenever things start going the other way. The race card is so deeply ingrained in so many of these people that there is no way in the world they can keep from playing it. The social equation is so profoundly easy with them.

People are opposed to a policy objective.
The policy objective is being proposed by a black person
People are racists

These are the thought patterns that power the left ... that power so many in Washington, and that power Chris Matthews. And so it shall ever be.

Make no mistake ... this little White House beer party tonight between Obama, the whiney Professor Gates and Sgt. Crowley is all about rehabilitating the image of Barack Obama. He stepped in it big time ... and now he's going to use Gates and Crowley to wash that stuff off his shoes .. .with beer.

Oh .. and the woman who made the 911 call because she saw someone she thought was breaking into a house? Well now she's being called a racist. Yeah ... a racist. So ... here are the new rules. If you think you see someone committing a crime your first task is to determine whether or not that person's color. If they are white, you call 911. If they're black, you simply turn and walk away. Whatever you do, do not call 911. That, of course, would make you a racist. Hard to believe (or maybe it isn't), but this woman is actually getting death threats ... death threats from people who are legally entitled to vote.

Isn't that what they're saying in the aftermath of Obama's little slam against the Cambridge, MA police? I'm getting a bit tired of hearing so many self-described experts telling us how this whole Henry Gates incident should bring us all to the table so we can have a dialogue on race.

Do we need such a dialogue? Oh hell yes we do. But it just ain't going to happen. In this age of political correctness the only possible direction such a dialogue could take would be a forum on all of the terrible things whites have done to blacks and all the things that whites need to do to make things right.

Do white wrongs have a place in the discussion? Absolutely. Racism, bigotry and prejudice ... all part of the equation. But that's not the entire picture ...

Let me share just a few of the things that would be taboo in such a dialogue. First, insofar as Henry Gates is concerned; I doubt very seriously that the dialogue would include any information as to what percentage of home break-ins in and around Boston and Cambridge are committed by blacks. There is no way you might be able to suggest that the police were acting on experience given the fact that blacks are more likely to be involved in criminal activity in the Boston area than whites or other minorities. And you damned sure wouldn't be able to bring the idea that much of the problems experienced by the black community are due to culturalism rather than racism.

Don't even begin to suggest that it might be black culture, rather than poverty and discrimination, which lead to high incidences of black crime. And for God's sake, don't mention the anti-education, anti-learning mentality that suffocates so many young black boys and girls. You know ---- the culture in which a young black teenager is accused of trying to "act white" if he or she so much as raises a hand to ask a question in class.

Yeah ... we need a dialogue. Let' me know when we can get that started. Every time I've ever even brushed those topics lightly on the air it has unleashed charges of racism --- the one sure way to discussing what really might be going on. So ... y'all just get your dialogue going and let me know how it works out for you.

Have you been following this story out of Massachusetts?

Here's the basic set up. A woman sees a man who looks like he is breaking into a house. She calls the cops. The cops arrive to investigate the report of a burglary. The homeowner is inside and insists it is a misunderstanding and that this is his house .. no one was trying to break in. The cop demands identification. The homeowner refuses and gets upset.

Oh I guess I forgot to tell you one part of the story. The homeowner is black. The cop is white.

So the homeowner accuses this cop of racism. The only reason that the cop doesn't believe that he is the homeowner is because he is black. The cop arrests him and he is charged with disorderly conduct. The charges have since been dropped.

Then, Barack Obama holds a news conference. He is asked about the situation. Our wonderful president said during his press conference Wednesday that he was only "vaguely" familiar with what went on during the arrest of Professor Gates ... and then, being only vaguely familiar, PrezBO went on to say that the police acted "stupidly." The White House has since tried to explain what the president meant by that statement. Guess this is why the guy likes teleprompters.

Well ...thanks a pantload, Mr. President. Thank you so much for condemning the actions of the police in an incident that you were only "vaguely" familiar with. That ought to do wonders for the relationship between the police and residents of minority communities around the country. Nice move.

During the information overload hour today I'm going to read the entire police report of the incident. That's more than Obama did. You listen to the police report and then see if you agree that it was the police who acted stupidly, or did Professor Gates let that racial chip on his shoulder get a bit out of hand.

In case you don't know, Brinks security is now Broadview security. I saw their latest ad on television this morning. You have some guy stalking a winsome young mother and her daughter. Finally he tries to break into her home. The security alarm goes off and Broadview saves the day. As usual - as is the case in every single television ad ever put on television by Brinks - the perp is white. In the wonderful world of Brinks/Broadview only white guys try to break into houses to rob and rape. Political correctness to the extreme.

Do you think Brian Kilmeade is going to get in trouble over this one?

Dr. Anne Wortham is the author of "The Other Side of Racism: A Philosophical Study of Black Race Consciousness". She is Associate Professor of Sociology at Illinois State University and continuing Visiting Scholar at Stanford University 's Hoover Institution. She is a member of the American Sociological Association and the American Philosophical Association. Pretty strong credentials, don't you think?

In researching Anne Wortham I also found that she is a follower of Ayn Rand. That's why I haven't heard of her before. A black university professor who is a Rand fan?

Why bring her up? Because I've just come across a letter she wrote to her fellow Americans on November 6th of last year. I thought you might enjoy it ... so here goes:

There. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Let's back into this. A Republican aide in the Tennessee state legislature sent out an email to fellow GOP staff members. The email was a collage of portraits from the other 43 presidents, and the last portrait depicted Barack Obama as two white eyes peering from a black background. Now the Democrats are calling for the aide, Sherri Goforth, to be fired.

Democratic Party Chairman Chip Forrester says, "I am calling on Sen. Black to reject this racist smear and fire this staffer who, on state government time, on state government computers, using a state government e-mail account, launched this bigoted attack on our president ... This e-mail is reprehensible, insults the office of the president, and is embarrassing to all Tennesseans regardless of political party," Forrester said.

The staffer shouldn't be fired because she's a racist. She should be fired because she's dumb as hell. Sorry ... and I know that the Democrats are using this for some good old-fashioned race baiting, but what kind of an idiot would send out that email in the first place?

While we are at it, the Congressional Black Caucus has decided to make healthcare reform also an issue of race. No surprise there. To the CBC everything is an issue of race. Without race issues these people would perish of boredom. Now that Obama has thrown himself back into the healthcare debate, the caucus is urging him to focus more on racial disparities in medical treatment when he creates his government healthcare system. You do know where that leads, don't you? We already know that there is going to have to be rationing of health care services when the government starts running the show. Well, if there's going to be rationing, the CBC wants to make sure that race is a consideration. You can rest assured that when the rationing gets underway the race pimps will be watching very carefully to see that the numbers add up. This is going to get very tricky when it comes to issues like hypertension. Blacks suffer from hypertension to a greater degree than whites. Perhaps we'll have to assign quotas based on the occurrence of particular diseases among different races. Bottom line: rationing is a certainty, and the CBC is there to make sure the racial element is acknowledged.

The CBC also plans to introduce an alternative healthcare proposal. This version would seek to improve services in low-income areas (more entitlement programs), eliminate language barriers (more entitlement programs) and improve the collection of data to detect gaps in care for racial minorities (more government bureaucrats).

Trust me, you folks are going to LOVE government healthcare.

This won't mean much to someone not from Atlanta ... but they're going to put timing chips on the running shoes of all Peachtree Road Race participants this year. I like it because it may stop the cheaters.

The coveted prize for running the 10K Peachtree is that t-shirt. You get to wear that t-shirt to show everyone what a stud you are. Yeah .. you ran 6.2 miles in the sweltering July heat in Atlanta. Trouble is, out of the 55,000 runners, there are a lot of cheaters. They get their race number and then sit in the comfort of some Burger King or Starbucks halfway through the race until the runners start coming by. Then they toss their lattes into the trash and join the race to pick up their t-shirts.

Now the race organizers have a way to deny these cheaters their prize. If your chip doesn't show that you crossed both the starting line and the finish line you should go home wearing your sweaty running clothes. Let's see if the organizers have the nads to do this.

When the Republicans were in power leftists delighted in screaming "racist" or "racism" every time a conservative made any utterance that was anything less than praiseworthy of any non-white American. The media generally ignored these asinine "racism" claims.

Now that the looters are in power (and how) we find Republicans starting to call leftists racists. The charges of racism from Republicans against Sotomayor are completely absurd. Obama's Supreme Court nominee has said nothing that I can find which would indicate that she feels that any one race is genetically or inherently superior to another. She may have shown just a bit of prejudice or bigotry or prejudice, but no racism.

Sure .. the left could get away with screaming racism at the drop of a hat. Why? Because the media wouldn't call them on it, that's why. A Democrat would scream "racism" and the media would remain silent. It's not going to be that way when a Republican calls a leftist a racist. The media is going to howl.

Due to rampant misuse the word has no meaning any more. So give it a rest. You're just giving the Obama-infatuated media something to use against the right.

Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor spent time on Capitol Hill yesterday meeting with Senators. She decided ... or probably the White House decided ... that this was the right time to clarify her remarks that a "wise Latina woman" could reach a "better" decision than a white male. In a meeting with Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, Sotomayor says that "ultimately" and "completely" a judge should follow the law. She says that what she meant was that people have different backgrounds but that "there is only one law."

Are you buying it? I'm not. This is just the best line of bull she could come up with. There is no way in the world her comments can be morphed into a statement upholding the concept of equal treatment under the law. That concept, by the way, is dead in America. Either way, these Republicans are going to have to decide whether they believe that explanation ... and then give the woman an up-or-down vote.

I'm not going to use that "elections have consequences" line here again.

The head of the Environmental Protection Agency is a woman by the name of Lisa Jackson, and Lisa Jackson is concerned about environmental justice. She believes that minorities and low-income people are the victims of pollution by evil US companies and businesses.

She says, "There are too many places in this country where pollution and environmental degradation fall disproportionately on low-income and minority communities ... We can't stand by and accept those disparities ... At EPA, part of our central mission is to show all Americans that we work for them."

Actually, there's a reason why pollution --- air pollution, for instance - has a disproportionate impact on some poorer communities. Prevailing winds. Not racism - prevailing winds. Look at most industrialized cities in the United States. Study the prevailing winds. You will find that when these cities were built the real estate on the upwind side of the smokestacks cost more, while the downwind real estate cost less. Why? Sorry ... if you can't figure that one out, you need help. So .. what are we supposed to do now? Punish industry because people know which way the wind blows?

Sounds like Lisa Jackson and South Carolina Senator James Clyburn are playing from the same rule book of racial chips.

When it comes to rescuing the financial system, the Congressional Black Caucus has one thing on its mind: the government better not forget about minority-owned companies.

I thought that you would enjoy this quote from one of the most ignorant politicians in Washington, Maxine Waters. She says, "We are not going to sit back and allow billions of dollars to be dumped into this economy and watch the same old players be advantaged by it .. We're not going to sit back and watch some of the players who are responsible for the economic mess we're in today be the recipients of these taxpayer dollars and provide services and make even more money despite the fact they have mismanaged their own businesses."

Yup .. here comes Maxine, and she's going to make the bailout a racial issue. Well .. that's what she does. She might as well dance with who brung her.

Here in Atlanta, Georgia, home of the Mothership News/Talk 750 WSB, we have some racial chips on some shoulders in the state government. On Friday, about two dozen black Georgia lawmakers apparently stormed out of the Georgia House. They did so because they were angry that a white Congressman blocked a proposal to make Barack Obama an honorary member of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus.

State Representative Austin Scott says that he blocked the proposal because the wording would have put the full chamber on the record and it declared Obama as a man with an "unimpeachable reputation for integrity." After Democrats balked at revising the wording, Scott blocked the proposal.

But naturally, this automatically turned into an issue of race. Some black lawmakers saw this as a snub to the nation's first black president. State Representative Al Williams says, "It drips with racism .. I call it just like it is." Al Williams is an idiot who couldn't define the word "racism" if his per diem depended on it, and it doesn't.

There are still some backward minds out there who think that any amount of "disrespect" (to use the vernacular) shown PrezBO is evidence of racism. Unfortunately this one is in my back yard.

Well ... Barack appoints a black Attorney General .. and he gets right down to business; talking about race. What a surprise. Eric Holder is one Obama appointee that really slipped under our radar as the country grew more outraged over this government growth bill. So now the guy is our Attorney General. He's the first black Attorney General. And apparently he isn't going to let us forget it.

Holder made a speech to Justice Department employees yesterday in honor of Black History Month. He indicated his belief that the American workplace is pretty much integrated, but that Americans are still self-segregated on the weekends and in their private lives. Apparently there is something wrong with free people choosing those whom with they wish to associate.

A question before we move on .. as long as no one is being harmed in the process, what is the big deal? People have the freedom to choose who they associate with in their private lives. I hope that this does not insinuate that the government should make sure people of various races are hosting barbeques together on the weekends like they do on television commercials

But back to his speech. Holder says, "Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards."

Wow, now there is a pretty blunt statement. He says that average Americans simply do not talk enough with each other about race. Allow me a little input here. I've been talking for a living for about 40 years ... so perhaps I can put a little light on this subject.

Let's say that I go on the air today to talk about the anti-achievement policy that so permeates urban black communities. What if I resurrect some of those stories from sources such as Time Magazine detailing the anti-learning culture in America's urban high schools. Learning, you know, is a white thing. Across this country there are young black men and women who won't study, won't answer questions in class, won't do homework, and won't try to do well on tests because their friends will think they're trying to "act white."

What if I were to gather some statistics detailing the fact that blacks commit violent crimes way out of proportion to their percentage of the population? How do you think that is going to go over?

Now just why would I bring these subjects up on my show? I like to illustrate that these problems are not race-based, they're culture-based. I like to show that some people get outraged when these problems are based on culture rather than race. Why? Because if you're part of the problem you can change cultural mores - but you can't change your color. Showing these problems to be culture-based erases black's claims to victimization.

Trust me ... I try to bring these things up on the air, and I'm a racist. Nation of cowards? Hardly. There are a lot of people who are ready to address these issues - but as soon as they do the "racism" word is pulled out. End of conversation.

Race pimp Al Sharpton had quite a day yesterday. When he woke up yesterday morning and opened up the New York Post, he knew it was going to be a great day. He got up, put the racial chip on his shoulder, and marched to the nearest news outlet to express his outrage over this editorial cartoon.

Here's what Al Sharpton had to say: "The cartoon in today's New York Post is troubling at best, given the racist attacks throughout history that have made African-Americans synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual inference to this form of racism when, in the cartoon, the police say after shooting a chimpanzee, 'now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill.' Being that the stimulus bill has been the first legislative victory of President Barack Obama (the first African American president) and has become synonymous with him it is not a reach to wonder whether the Post cartoonist was inferring that a monkey wrote it?"

Now admittedly, Al Sharpton wasn't the only one outraged by the cartoon. The new New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said that she found the cartoon "offensive and purposefully hurtful." And a New York City Councilman has called for a boycott of the New York Post.

Now .. what was my point again? A chimp gets shot. Someone puts that chimp into an editorial cartoon because of all of the news coverage. Race pimp Sharpton crawls out from under his log ... and the "racism" thing starts up. Par for the course.

That would include calls from people who want to tell me that President Obama isn't really black - he's really white, you know - or some other designation. Save it. Surely you'll find another radio show that would welcome that nonsense. It matters not, and I don't intend to spend any time dealing with those asinine comments.

Wow! I'm in some sort of a mood today, aren't I?

Well, as long as I'm blowing it out of my ... er ...um ... ears today - let's talk about that tired old race war lord Joseph Lowery. If there was anyone on the program yesterday that we could absolutely, positively depend on to play the part of the weird old race pimp, it would be Lowery; and what's more, he chose a prayer to toss his racial comments around.

A lot of conservative bloggers and pundits are up in arms over Lowery's benediction, "Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around... when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen. Say Amen'..."

Yeah .. those evil white bastards. We just have to get a little pointed remark into these proceedings somehow. We'll just ask the Almighty to make those white folks act right now that Obama is the president.

I've been aware of Rev. Lowery for decades. Without a racial grievance this man simply ceases to exist. Anyone who didn't expect him to get just a bit of a slam against the evil white man yesterday just wasn't aware of his history.

Let's set the cast of characters. Mark Sanford is the governor of South Carolina. He is opposed to any sort of bailout for the states. James Clyburn is a Representative from South Carolina. He is the House Democrat Whip, making him the highest ranking black lawmaker in the House. Oh ... and Clyburn is a First Class Race Pimp. So Sanford and Clyburn disagree about what constitutes an earmark. James Clyburn says that any federal money included in the stimulus should be sent back home to lawmakers' districts. Sanford says that this is the same thing as an earmark, but without calling it an earmark.

And then Clyburn came out with this line about Sanford's opposition, "[H]e happens to be a millionaire ... He may not need help for the plantation his family owns, but the people whose grandparents and great-grandparents worked those plantations need the help" in the form of federal money.

Mark Sanford's response? Yeah, that wasn't a rational explanation as to why he is in favor of earmarks. "You're playing the race card as your way of trying to defend stimulus packages and deficit spending out of Washington, D.C."
