Tweety is teaching kids fear and hate.
But if there is a race war in America, it will not be because of one person, not even Trump. A race war in America will be because people are stupid enough to misunderstand a man like Obama, stupid enough to think he is racist, and stupid enough to hate him when he tries to be fair and unite our peoples.
People choose to hate Obama and disrespect him (and Michelle) because he is an "uppity black man" who confronted them, dared to confront whites with facts and truth about stupid police . . . and THEIR racism, anger, and disgust for weak and poor peoples of all races, creeds, and sexual preference.
Obama was President of the United States not by accident. If Trump deserves respect, Obama deserves as much.
"How to understand Trump’s condemnation of ‘all types of racism’"
Philip Bump August 12, 2018
". . . condemning racism in any form seems noncontroversial. Of course racism should be condemned. What makes Trump’s comments questionable, though, is that it goes out of its way to include a condemnation of “all types” of racism, instead of simply condemning “racism.” By pointedly adding “all types,” he’s implicitly raising the question of which types of racism might be overlooked unless they were included. And a natural answer to that question is perceived racism against white people."
Trump feels like white people, the ones in power over all people of color in America, are threatened by people of color. Wow!
"According to Woodward’s book, after Trump got pilloried for his “many sides” comment, his aides talked him into condemning anti-black racism more unambiguously, which he did by decrying the “KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups.” But then a Fox News reporter claimed Trump had made a “course correction,” prompting Trump to explode. “I didn’t do anything wrong in the first place,” he raged, lamenting that he’d been “forced” to “apologize,” adding: “I’m never going to do anything like that again.”"
It's wrong to think that people of color can threaten whites, and there is a huge amount of evidence telling the opposite is true. But Trump/Tweety has decided white people are threatened, and white people believe it too!
"There is an idea, prevalent among some groups, that white Americans face systematic discrimination that’s comparable to — if not worse than — the racial discrimination faced by other groups. A Public Religion Research Institute poll conducted in May 2017 found that “[m]ore than half (52 percent) of white working-class Americans believe discrimination against whites is as big a problem as discrimination against blacks and other minorities.” Among working-class Americans aged 65 and older, nearly 6 in 10 held that view."
Is reverse racism a thing? Is it real and can you show me how blacks and other people of color oppress whites? What is "white victimhood?"
"A HuffPost/YouGov poll conducted in 2016 found that Trump voters were more likely to believe that white people faced a lot of discrimination than they were to say that Muslim or black people did."
OMG! Ignore the facts and truth.
"This sense of aggrievement is not exclusive to the white working class or to Trump voters, of course. It’s also a theme that runs through racist and white-nationalist rhetoric. A sense that white Americans are disadvantaged or being held to stricter, more exacting standards than other groups is central to the perceived need to protect white Americans, which is, fundamentally, what white nationalism is about. We’ve heard this rhetoric a lot of late, this idea that white America needs to be defended."
It is hard to reason with people who ignore the facts and truth and reality.
"Obama: “rabid nationalism” and racist ideology lead to civil war.
In delivering the Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture today in Johannesburg, South Africa, former President Barack Obama warned about the rise of right-wing nationalism around the world. “Strongman politics are ascendant, suddenly,” he said. “Those in power seek to undermine every institution or norm that gives democracy meaning.”
“Look at history. Looks at the facts,” he said. “The fact that countries which rely on rabid nationalism and xenophobia and doctrines of tribal, racial, or religious superiority as their main organizing principle—the thing that holds people together—eventually those countries find themselves consumed by civil war or external war. Check the history books.”"

"The Myth of Reverse Racism"
The idea of white victimhood is increasingly central to the debate over affirmative action.
Vann R. Newkirk II Aug 5, 2017
https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2017/08/myth-of-reverse-racism/535689/
". . . America’s annual heated argument about affirmative action has begun anew, this time against the background of racial tensions that have helped define the early goings of the Trump presidency. As always, those tensions and long-held beliefs about racial advantages rule the debate."
White are victims? What racial advantages do blacks have?
Oh, it's Asians too?!
"As my colleague Alia Wong notes, that debate is still hamstrung by a number of misconceptions about affirmative action, including the tendency to flatten issues pertaining to Asian Americans. These misconceptions are often exploited to serve the interests of white resentment that’s surrounded the use of race in job and university-application processes since the 1960s. To quote a 1995 Boston College Third World Law Journal article: “The deployment of Asian Americans as an exemplary group in race relations is nothing new. The model minority myth of Asian Americans has been used since the Sixties to denigrate other nonwhites.”"
Discrimination against white people is perceived based on what?
"Data show that many Americans do perceive reverse racism to be a significant societal problem. A 2016 Public Religion Research Institute poll indicates that half of all Americans, 57 percent of all white people, and 66 percent of the white working-class believe that discrimination against white people is as big a problem in America as discrimination against black people."
What are the facts of how people of color and the government is oppressing whites? Of course, it seems the history of America's oppression of people of color is not the fault of anyone alive today, right? History, humbug! Oppression, humbug!
"Fears of reverse racism fly in the face of data. White students still make up almost three-quarters of all private external scholarship recipients in four-year bachelor’s programs, almost two-thirds of all institutional grants and scholarship recipients, and over three-quarters of all merit-based grants and scholarships, although white people only make up about 62 percent of the college student population and about half of all people under 19. White students are more likely than black, Latino, and Asian students to receive scholarships.
Also, existing data suggest that race-conscious admissions policies are the main factors keeping overall enrollment roughly representative of America’s racial demographics. A FiveThirtyEight analysis from 2015 found that colleges in states with affirmative-action bans are less representative of the state’s demographics than colleges that are still allowed to consider race. Other simulations suggest that replacing race-conscious policies with colorblind policies that take into account applicants’ socioeconomic status yields less racial diversity on college campuses."
The cancer is treated by affirmative action to ease continuing oppression of people of color, including Asians. The treatment, Affirmative Action, is not the cancer, it is a medicine/treatment designed to defeat and kill the cancer of racism.
"A 1993 article in this magazine by Stanley Fish perhaps best describes the paradox of that grievance. “Reverse racism is a cogent description of affirmative action,” Fish wrote, “only if one considers the cancer of racism to be morally and medically indistinguishable from the therapy we apply to it.” The current debate provides a showcase on just how—despite all evidence—the cancer and remedy have converged."
Young man thinks America will never be united again. He has not read, or perhaps not understood the history of America, our fear of people of color, the general paranoia of white people, so he does not know we have been divided before. He also overlooks just how divided we were as the Civil War started and ended.
The young man thinks blacks like being fatherless is cool because rap says it is cool is racist, and stupid. No kid says he's glad daddy left, and they do NOT think it is cool that dad left.
How was Obama racist? If calling white cops stupid who did something stupid is racist, then you are a fool. If a white President calls out blacks, THAT is racist at times, but not always. Dito Obama.
"Whose President Was He? Barack Obama brushed aside the critics who hated him for his skin color—but failed to see the racial confrontation they foretold."
By MICHAEL ERIC DYSON January/February 2016
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/barack-obama-race-relations-213493
"Millions of ordinary white citizens and right-wing critics didn’t cotton to our first black president’s chutzpah in capturing the highest office in the land—and they have been unleashing venom ever since. Signs at early protests spoke volumes: “Obama’s Plan: White Slavery” and “The American Taxpayers Are the Jews for Obama’s Ovens.” Some played on racist stereotypes: “Obama: What You Talkin’ About, Willis? Spend My Money.” Others tagged him “Traitor to the Constitution” and “Sambo,” or played on his ancestral homeland: “Ken-ya Trust Obama?”"
The examples above are of American racism, so how was OBAMA racist?
"I believe it was the blowback Obama received when, just months after his inauguration, he controversially claimed police had “acted stupidly” in arresting Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. for disorderly conduct outside his own home, that nailed shut for the president the coffin of honest racial engagement. And it was curious, and hurtful, that Obama responded at times to the criticism by scolding black folk in public for making excuses he said were holding them back."
OK, Obama was blunt at times, but how was Obama racist? Was he racist because he called some police stupid? Nope. That is not racist. It was a fact that the police he criticized for questioning a black man entering his home that these police WERE stupid.
"Santorum: Obama exacerbated racism"
By Luis Sanchez - 06/03/18 01:18 PM EDT
http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/390465-santorum-obama-exacerbated-racism
It's no surprise an Evangelical like Santorum who has absolutely NO idea about blackness tries his idea on Obama's racism. It's bold for this white guy to try out an opinion on racism. Santorum just proves he is another white man who is stupid about the black experience and being black.
"Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (R) said on Sunday that former President Obama “exacerbated racism” by taking the position against the police every time a person of color was involved in a high-profile incident during his presidency."
Really? This stuff cannot be made up! lol!
So if a person calls out the police and he is black, it is racism? Ha! THAT IS A JOKE! AND DUMB! What if Obama called out police stupidity and he was white?
"Winds of Change"
Barack Obama did not write in 2006 that "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/coil-of-rage/
Read the article ass holes! Obama has never been the racist you say he was and is . . . because he is not a man who is so cowardly as to hate people for their race. He does not fear people for their race. It is stupid to say Obama was racist.
Obama, obviously, was NOT racist. Tweety is obviously racist.
