If You Are Too Scared to Criticize Obama For Fear of Being Called Racist, Then Keep Your Mouth Shut

I listened to a right leaning talk show host whine repeatedly that any one who criticized Obama would be called a racist. I've heard this same complaint throughout the campaign and now that Obama has assumed the office, I'm still hearing it.

All I have to say is STOP YOUR WHINING AND MAN UP! No excuses, cuz here is the deal. If you got a valid critique to make of Obama's policies or decisions, then make your case. If you're afraid that whatever you have to say will get you called a racist, then keep your frikkin mouth shut, because chances are, whatever you have to say is lame. Because if you have something worth saying and you know how to communicate, it's credibility will be invunerable to serious attack on the basis that it is racist. Period.

    The quickest way to end this racism defense nonsense is to force it. Say what you have to say and let them call you racist. The more wolf is cried, the less people will pay attention to it and the more ridiculous the people who claim it will be seen.

    That has always been my fear from the start -- that Obama's people (the media) will use "racism" as a defense, that white people will assume that this means that there is no legitimate racism claims, and that that Obama will end up setting white/black relations back about 20 years.

    I think the only people who fear being called racist for criticizing Obama are those who are racist and know it; and would like to say racist things.

    If you don't say anything racist, there will be no legitimate charges mounted from anyone with credibility.

    Nothing like right wing radio for daily race baiting. Maybe I'll listen to some Hannity in the car on the way home; it's been a while since I've gotten my dose.

    I included this post in my Black Blog Round up this morining.

    Hey guys.

    You definitely hit the nail on the head with this one. That weak line is nothing but an excuse for folks who have nothing to say.

    Like Bill Clinton, the first Black president?
