Are the Obamas Racists? Choice of party friends puts that question into play.

Who you invite to your parties says a lot about you, who you admire and who you’re comfortable with. That’s why the Obama’s choice of several entertainers who have expressed not just the desire to kill cops but who also express openly racist beliefs opens the question of what the Obamas believe when they’re not orating.

During the election campaign, Barack Obama at first tried to defend the hateful racist rhetoric of his pastor and spiritual mentor Jeremiah Wright. Only when the controversy threatened to torpedo his election did he decide to disassociate himself from Wright claiming implausibly that in his 20 years at Wright’s church he never heard any of the incendiary sermons Wright preached.

But it’s becoming increasingly clear that both Obamas hold racial animosity as a core belief. There can be no other explanation for the decision to invite to the White House two openly racist entertainers. One, Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. who goes by the name “Common,” also attended Wright’s church and remains an ardent defender of that clerical hater.

From the NH Journal:

Some of Common’s poetry could also raise some eyebrows among those who might find cop-killing and racially-tinged or misogynist language beneath the Office of the Presidency.

“Tell the law my Uzi weighs a ton … I hold up a peace sign but I carry a gun,” raps Common in one appearance that was posted onto YouTube.

“Flyer say Free Mumia on my freezer,” he raps in another. Mumia Abu-Jamal is an incarcerated former member of the Black Panther Party who was convicted in 1981 for killing a Philadelphia police officer. Agitating for his release from prison has become a cause for many leftwing activists.

Common named his daughter after Assata Shakur, a Black Panther who was convicted of first-degree murder 1977. She escaped from prison and exiled to Cuba. The FBI recognizes her as a domestic terrorist.

Common has also been a vocal opponent of mixed race relationships and believes black men and white women should not date. In one rap he says, “I don’t know what it is / but white girls gettin’ ass / I know what it is / It’s cash.”

It turns out that another “artist” at the Obamas’ race-baiters bash, Jill Scott, is also opposed to inter-racial marriage. In Essence, a magazine for black women, she expresses what the editors call “the root of our feelings on the matter.”

My new friend is handsome, African-American, intelligent and seemingly wealthy. He is an athlete, loves his momma, and is happily married to a White woman. I admit when I saw his wedding ring, I privately hoped. But something in me just knew he didn't marry a sister. Although my guess hit the mark, when my friend told me his wife was indeed Caucasian, I felt my spirit...wince. I didn't immediately understand it. My face read happy for you. My body showed no reaction to my inner pinch, but the sting was there, quiet like a mosquito under a summer dress …. when we see a seemingly together brother with a Caucasian woman and their children. That feeling is betrayed.

If a white president invited white separatists, Klansmen or misogynists to the White House, the entire Liberal community would not let it die. The MSM, in print and broadcast, the entire “arts” community from New York to Hollywood would be up in arms. Late night comics would have a field day and SNL would devote segment after segment to depicting the president as a bigot.

What’s the White House’s reaction to this? Obama’s press secretary, Jay Carney, said

...it’s not fair to boil down Common’s work to the lyrics at issue, noting he is known as a “conscious rapper” who can bring poetry to audiences that would not otherwise be exposed to it.

Common, a Chicago native, also has called for former President George W. Bush to be burned, rapping, “Burn a Bush cos’ for peace he no push no button.”

From the traditional MSM ... the sound of crickets chirping. 

So are the Obamas racists? You’re known by who you hang with.
