An Affirmative Action President?

The intelligence of presidential candidates and presidents is the topic of discussion during and after elections. And, it seems that the Left is more enamored with this question than the Right—the same people who deny that intelligence has any real meaning and that if we just got to know people they would all show the same cognitive abilities, but in diverse ways. “We are all equally smart” they will submit.

Along comes Sarah Palin, a nobody, according to the Left, but a popular governor in the eyes of Alaskans. They declare that she is “stupid” because she has not travelled outside of North America, she could not name Supreme Court decisions, and many of her interview questions seemed rehearsed, etc. Are these adequate criteria to formulate how intelligent a person is? I for one read a lot of books where court discussions are discussed, and I will remember the results while forgetting the name of the court decision. Not all intelligent people like travelling, especially those perhaps who enjoy outdoor sports. And of course she has had to be coached; her focus over the last two years has been on Alaskan issues, far away from the Washington scene. But as I suspect she is in fact quite intelligent, at least intelligent enough to be president where ideology is more important than raw intelligence. After all, she would be surrounded by advisors and experts, and her learning curve would be steep.

How about Barack Obama? What evidence is there that he—like so many other Blacks—is not just a product of affirmative action rather than a deserved outcome of someone with great talents? It is virtually impossible for any Black admitted to Harvard under affirmative action not to succeed with the guiding hand of minority promotion. Once in you will graduate and the credentials will be enough for you to be selected as a viable minority applicant. Did he deserve his position as head of the Harvard Law Review because of intelligence or because he was a well suited Black for the sake of diversity.

No—Barack Obama will be merely our first AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PRESIDENT—and he should be so designated. Blacks cannot have it both ways where they do not have to compete at the same level as Whites and then expect to be treated as if they were White and successful.

On today’s Rush Linbaugh show, Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father” was discussed with the assertion that it had been written by Bill Ayers or some other ghost writer according to grammatical content comparisons.  And my reading of the book, some time ago, is that he is a bitter Black trying to find his roots or have his pound of White flesh to ease the hurt. And his hubris will not keep it under check—he will screw up badly. After all, compared to Palin, he really is stupid.

I’m not sure I agree about Sarah Palin.  She has a profligate record of graft in Wasila.  She seems to have problems with freedom of speech.  Also, she seems to be part of the Israel-first crowd.  Her managerial expertise is in doubt.

But regarding Obama, he really isn’t that bright or impressive.  And he’s a craven radical commie crook race-baiting white-hating elitist NE coast effete snob scumbag of epic proportions.  Affirmative action indeed.

Gudmund’s fallacious “NE coast” comment raises our attention to the way ‘regions’ within states are set one against another, even comically so—so long as they can be framed as Whites vs. Whites. It happens in Britain too, most obviously amongst its nations, but also, increasingly between the sub-national regions.

Posted by Gudmund on October 11, 2008, 03:35 AM | #

Sir, I did not imply white vs. white at all.  It is a fact that there is a black-white far-left alliance with its roots in academia in the NE coast.  I’ve seen those campuses like Harvard with my own eyes, and they are teeming with a snobby collection of Marxists - white, black and asian - who have their own “social club” and despise all of us benighted proles, particularly if we’re white.  There is nothing fallacious about what I said - and no dishonor in calling out traitorous whites that aren’t interested in our side anyway.

Apart from their mischaracterisation as “white privilege” those points ring true.

Blacks, hispanics and muslims similarly overlook the foibles of their own people while emphasising the injuries done them by others, above all whites. 

Explaining this sort of conflict as the invariable (and intractable) result of multiracialism and multiculturalism is more useful than attempting to portray liberals as “liars.”

“Progressivism” diverts legitimate liberal resentment with its offers of quixotic elixirs as effectively as “traditionalism” diverts legitimate conservative resentment with “constitutionalism” and (judeo)Christianity; neither addresses what is at the heart of the anxieties both sides (of whites) suffer, race.

An attempt to exploit the common ground is surely worth making.

Yes, but he will be surrounded by “advisors” who will guide him. If Obama has already been annointed to win then the script regarding his performance is already half written.

The worst thing possible for America (and the rest of the world) would be for Obama to appear successful in his first term. Just like Mugabe and Mandela appeared competent at first.

Sarah Palin is a screwball Christian Zinoist who believes in the Rapture. Her finger would be on the button and she would press it. Also, there is somewhat credible evidence that a 28 year Sarah Palin pregnant and married with future private first class Truck Palin, enjoyed being hit on by black Jazz musician Greory Charles Royal. She is also a slutty race traitor.

Who’d be better as vice-president, Frank:  Sarah Palin or Katy Paregoric?  Sarah Palin or Michelle Obama?  Sarah Palin or Joe Biden? 

Is Sarah Palin the perfect choice?  No, that would be Peter Brimelow, Norman Lowell, Guessedworker, or JWH (or if they all have prior commitments and Soren Renner can’t be persuaded to take the job, I volunteer).  Is she better than someone like Katy Couric, which is the only alternative you’re likely to get?  You be the judge.

Does anyone imagine Sarah Palin is less intelligent, less well-informed, less honest, or guided less by common sense than Heinous McInsanus, The Magic Negro, or Joe Bidet?

Yes, I also regret we didn’t get Taki, Lothrop Stoddard, Count de Gobineau, or Francis Parker Yockey as vice-president.  But the choice wasn’t between Sarah Palin and them, it was between Sarah Palin and someone like Katy Paregoric, between Sarah Palin and someone like Mona Sahlin.  You see any difference there?

Mexicans get kicked out of McInsane’s campaign for showing race-realism:

GOP OFFICIAL REMOVED FOR RACIAL REMARKS

Posted 9/28/2008 3:24 PM

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The spokeswoman for the Republican Party in Nevada’s most populous county was removed from her post Saturday, after she said the Democratic Party made black people “dependent on the government.”

Didi Lima, the Clark County GOP communications director, also was removed from her volunteer role as a Hispanic community liaison for Republican John McCain’s presidential campaign over the remarks made earlier in the day while working at a McCain campaign booth.

“We don’t want (Hispanics) to become the new African-American community,” Lima told The Associated Press.  “And that’s what the Democratic Party is going to do to them, create more programs and give them handouts, food stamps and checks for this and checks for that. We don’t want that.”

“I’m very much afraid that the Democratic Party is going to do the same thing that they did with the African-American culture and make them all dependent on the government and we don’t want that,” she said.

In August, Lima was named co-chair of McCain’s Nevada Hispanic Leadership Team, which aimed to reach out to a crucial voting bloc in a state where polls show McCain in a dead heat with Barack Obama.

“Didi Lima is no longer a part of this campaign, her comments don’t reflect Senator McCain’s beliefs and are not tolerated on his campaign,” McCain spokesman Rick Gorka said after learning about her remarks.

Lima is the second Republican Party official to land in hot water this week over comments perceived as inflaming tensions between blacks and Hispanics.  The chairman of the Republican Party in New Mexico’s most populous county resigned Thursday, nearly a week after saying “Hispanics consider themselves above blacks” and won’t vote for Obama.  Fernando C. de Baca had been urged to resign for days by members of his own party.

Clark County Republican Party Chairman Bernie Zadrowski said he was “appalled” by Lima’s remarks.  Lima was appointed party spokeswoman in late July.  “She was speaking for herself, not the Clark County Republican Party,” Zadrowski said.  “And she won’t be speaking for the Clark County Republican Party any more.”

Obama campaign spokeswoman Kirsten Searer said the remarks were “proof of how out of touch John McCain and Republicans are with the issues facing all Americans today.”

Yes, indeed.  Out of touch with the issues facing all non-White Americans: namely their “social and economic justice” (read communism) at our expense.

Wonderful.  I do enjoy taking a detour from VDare and Steve Sailer’s site to visit the more bitter, childish segment of American race “realism” here.  I realize objective analysis is less important than satisfying the people who want to ‘knock those darn uppity blacks down a peg’ and whine about black men stealing their women (try to hide it better next time), so I suppose I can’t place any blame on you.  If you ever find any actual evidence that Senator Obama is less intelligent than Palin, feel free to present it. 

Ah, I forget I’m speaking to an apparent Palin supporter.  “You betcha!” *wink*

Youre approach to accessing Obama as a affirmative action baby is ignorant. Had it ever occured to you that some black’s are intellectually superior than there white counterparts. Affirmative action has been most helpful to white women and feminists groups as a oppose to blacks. Check the stats! Most people of color that have achieved great lengths in America have endured many trial and tribulations just to get there. It is alot harder when you are not carrying the back pack of white privilege. However it is not your fault for feeling this way you and your thoughts are a product of systemic racism. God Bless America!

Decades ago, when White Americans were permitted possession of healthy racial attitudes, the Saturday Evening Post published humorous stories of Niggers who, having heard impressive words of which they did not know the meaning, used them in elaborate discourse that was, of course, hilariously ludicrous. Perhaps Tiffany Allen could help revive this traditional form of amusement by posting regularly at MR.

Interesting narrative friend. How long did it take your superior mind to come up with that. But i understand that you are a disgruntled citizen who probably feels strangled by the economy, abandoned by the government following a distrust for those in power that goes well beyond that of the typical angry voter. Your psychology is simple and
infantile. I know you do you know X.  Riddle me this do you know who you are? Care to

Yes indeed, I do feel totally abandoned by the US government, strangled by the US economy and, having sung, at a recent British High Commission party at which I was a guest, an asymmetrical duet (Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond) with a Cabinet Minister of the country in which I currently reside, I do feel a distrust of those in power, or at least of their command of musicality.

Please forgive the apparent self-indulgence, GW, but apropos my factual mention of the Saturday Evening Post’s feature of yore, I have just seen on BBC TV a Black female interviewer asking the CEO of Volvo whether the geographical diversity of his company’s sales operations “buffeted” Volvo against the US economic downturn. The Swedish CEO hesitated for a moment and although English is not his second language he quickly processed the racial alien’s ignorant solecism and answered her as if she had used the correct word, “buffered”. Poor old niggerfuxated BBC.

All whites are affirmative action babies because you are the beneficiaries of the oppressed peoples.
There is no pale face that has not benefited from being white in social and economic circles over color. Therefore who are the real affirmative action babies? The question of the article address the stereotypical racist belief that Obama is somehow lazy and seeks to take unearned advantage of affirmative action. You are no innocent here, and that is why you are outraged that some black will actually even out the playing field and strip you of your undeserved
privileges. I also noticed the comparison between senator palin and Obama, as if they were running for the same office. The women is a prop and a embarrassment to the white race. Is this the best you have to offer!

Tiffany,

A negro population in a European society is and has always been a burden financially, miscegenatively and criminally.  Europeans make beautiful societies in which concepts such as equality and freedom and charity arise.  Look at Sub-Saharan Africa.  Look at Haiti.  What are the common values and noumenal goods there?  Look at any concentration of negroes, and explain to me how a favourable comparison with Europeans is possible?

Why are Europeans so keen to get away from negroes?  Do you really think those who flee from negro areas to live in safe white areas are racists or oppressors?  Look to your racial nature for the answers, Tiffany.  Live with the truth of yourselves, and stop blaming others for it.

Posted by Al Ross on October 24, 2008, 11:47 PM | #

Sarah Palin’s candidacy is a product of the cultural Marxist identity politics and not in any way related to the Jeffersonian democracy of which the US was once proud.

Pestilential Africans are invading White homelands at a disgustingly high rate and the cost to Whites of hosting backward, violence-prone, low average IQ, Black interlopers can be estimated by noting the expense which (mainly) White US taxpayers must reluctantly bear for sharing citizenship with Niggers. This Black financial burden includes, inter alia, demographically disproportionate welfare expenditure, ditto criminal justice system outlays, ditto incarceration costs, not to mention the monetary (and of course physical and psychological) damage to the mostly White victims of the stupid Congoids.

The matter of reparations is one that has been planted in the muddled minds of Niggers by Jewish lawyers looking, as usual, for that multi-billion dollar class action suit and more especially for that contingency - based fee payday. In fact, reparations are due from Blacks to Whites. This is because, over the past 35 years, around 12000 Blacks have been murdered by Whites and (bear in mind the greatly differing population percentages, Miss Allen) approximately 36000 Whites have been murdered by Blacks. Now if each life is, actuarially speaking, worth 1 million dollars compensation to next-of-kin, then Whites are owed 24 billion dollars net by Blacks.

When might the cheque be expected, Miss Allen?

GW:

miscegenatively

I think the “burden” is equal on that score GW, by mathematical necessity.

Al Ross:

In fact, reparations are due from Blacks to Whites.

Didn’t someone - GW, Prozium, or JWH, judging by the pithiness, make a wonderful contribution to the MR Lexicon? -
Reparations: taking from the one people that didn’t benefit from slavery and giving to the the one people that did.

‘possibly’, of course.

I didnt mention another burdensome financial cost to Whites for the privilege of being Blacks’ favourite crime victims, viz., education. Educational expenditure, especially in its tertiary form, is for so many Niggers a complete waste of White taxpayers’ money as only a very small percentage of them are intellectually capable of the academic work required, (and of those deemed so by academe’s hopeless, affirmative action supporting liberals, a goodly number drop out) so hard-earned cash is poured into that Black Hole.

Posted by snax on October 25, 2008, 03:48 AM | #

Re: miscegenatively

Another MR coinage according to google. Used once before by GW, but by no-one else online anywhere ever. A behaviour can theoretically be miscegenative, but no-one seems willing to say “he / she is behaving miscegenatively”. Perhaps because it isn’t easy to pronounce, perhaps because there are cruder alternatives, perhaps because one simply doesn’t say such things.

Odd, because “miscegenative” turns up all over, although GW at westbiop tops the list on google UK. Other top ten google-hits include skadi, time.com, stormfront and the LA Times.

Nothing is wrong one might think with focusing critically on one own race and racial backround and makeup. At times, however, this effort becomes distorted. The student of race decides that his or her own race is superior, or the bearer of a unique destiny. Then all other races become irrelevant, drags, or outright threats. The rise of paramiltary so called patriot groups and other espousing white supremacists such as yourself illustrate how this can happen. Views holding that wasps simply are the possessors of certain traits \ law abidingness, caution, diplomacy, reason so on and so on is out of touch with reality and untrue. However people are their ideas and i suppose you have a right to exist unfortunately. Fact of the matter is a Barack Obama is the leader of the free world and much deserving of it. God Bless America and all the free minds in it !

Yet Tiff global comparisons of crime, corruption, government transparency etc routinely put ‘WASP’ countries at the top of the list, top being better. Now how would that be?

Do you think Congo or Zimbabwe outperform Denamrk or Ireland on any of the qualities you listed.

Anyhow Obama’s problems start now.

What to do? Cant start looting the white man’s wealth too soon for the black folks, that would be too obvious. But if he doesnt get on with that at some point their disillusion will begin to set in. No second term.
