Barack Obama isn’t just a communist – he’s a vile racist into the bargain

President Obama has officially backed a plan for a racially-based quota system of punishment in US schools which will see disproportionately more white, Asian and Oriental pupils being disciplined than blacks. Yes, that’s right – if, say, black pupils at a particular school commit the same number of infringements as all the other racial groups put together, and the number of “black” and “other” pupils are the same, fewer black pupils will be punished than those from other ethnic backgrounds.

Which, of course, means that Barack Obama is a racist, because he wants people to be treated differently on the basis of what they are rather than what they do. In a way, of course, he’s simply following his party’s rich tradition of treating people differently on the basis of skin colour – after all, Southern Democrats spent decades trying to deny blacks the vote, or the right to use the same restaurants and toilets as whites. The difference is that Democrats now want to treat kids with, say, white or yellow skin as second-class citizens.

This vile, filthy, morally deranged scheme perfectly encapsulates two major modern left-wing principles. The first is that groups who generally behave well and achieve things should be punished, while those who behave badly and fail should be rewarded – which, of course, is a recipe for a really decent, successful, just society. Second, if the world won’t conform to your cherished, left-wing notions of how it should be, simply close your eyes and pretend that’s how it really is! Blacks aren’t really behaving worse at school than those pesky, high-achieving Asians – just look at our shiny new figures! 

Now, left-wing politicians introducing stupid, counter-productive schemes is hardly a surprise, but what’s genuinely puzzling is that a black president should pursue policies which seem designed to consign increasing numbers of black kids to the scrap-heap. How can teaching them that actions have no consequences and that being black means getting away with stuff other people get punished for possibly help prepare them for adult life? Is Obama’s racism all-encompassing – i.e. he hates whites for what he imagines they’ve done to black people over the years, and he wants to punish blacks for not responding appropriately to fifty years of guilt-based government interference by achieving economic parity with whites?

In a recent executive order, Obama established a President’s Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for African Americans. You don’t need me to tell you what sort of incompetent, malevolent, self-satisfied jerks will be involved in this sinister, fascistic nonsense.

I have to admit that this story’s a few weeks old - I missed it because I was on holiday - but when I read about in American Thinker (the article is here) it struck me as so bizarre, so outrageous, a red mist descended, and I just had to vent. Mind you, if you want to witness some real venting (for starters, the President is characterised as a ”race-baiting pimp”), try this item on PJTV:



When Obama was elected, that great man Thomas Sowell predicted that he would be the most socialistic president in US history – and that the military might have to step in and remove him from office in order to save the United States. At the time, I thought the old boy had somewhat lost the plot. Now I’m not so sure. We’re talking about America. AMERICA! How in the name of God did it come to be led by someone who evidently hates everything it stands for?

And no matter how dull and wooden and unconvincing Mitt Romney is – and, by God, is he ever - how can Barack Obama possibly still be ahead in the polls?
