www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2013/11/14/obama_needs_his_friends_back_120660.htmlThis 'dyed in the blood' 'Obamatowner' has made an early jump. He apparently has decided he likes his journalism career better then making dentures for a living. (What's the story about the shoemakers kids having no shoes?) Anyway. 'E.J' has seen the the chicken guts and the tea leaves and is now trying to get a seat on 'Miss Hillary's' press bus. Watch for dozens of 'West Coast' LIB media types to become addicted to pastrami on rye in the next couple of years. There are many reasons why Obama's presidency has failed. The most obvious is he was hired for the job based solely on the fact that he has the same color skin as his base. That's not a "racist" observation. It's an honest conclusion. No honest person can claim had a White woman got the nomination over a Black man that the Black turn-out would have been anywhere near what it was. In 016 if a Black person with a grade nine education and zero work experience were to run against any White person who do you honestly think the Black community would vote for? Gold Star! You got it in one! The most recent polls show Blacks approve of Obama's job performance at 75% whereas in the same polls the national approval rate for Obama is 39%. Anyone like to explain this huge discrepancy other than 'Black racism'?

The most recent polls show Blacks approve of Obama's job performance at 75% whereas in the same polls the national approval rate for Obama is 39%. Anyone like to explain this huge discrepancy other than 'Black racism'? African-Americans have overwhelmingly supported Democrats averaging 90% or better for a long, long time because of their perception of the apparent anti-black agenda of the Republican Party. Check every recent presidential election where African-Americans have overwhelmingly supported the Democratic candidate. Also obvious from the recent 2008 and 2012 presidential elections is the African-American perception of apparent anti-black Republican agenda that drove up their support for a Democrat over a Republican.
The actual change in the "black" vote was so insignificant as to not affect the election. It was "whites and Hispanics" that elected Obama and it wasn't because he was black. To claim otherwise is an insult to the American voters.
When over 90% of African-Americans are going to vote for ANY Democrat over a Republican it has nothing to do with race but instead has everything to do with political agendas between the two parties.
If there was any "racial" connection related to the election of President Obama it would be for those few voters that had to overcome their personal prejudice against blacks before they would vote for him. This is very much like the election of JFK where voters had to overcome anti-Catholic prejudice to elect him. JFK would have won by a significantly larger majority had he a been Protestant and not a Catholic. The same is unquestionable true related to Obama's race. Had he been a white Democrat more people would have voted for him.
What is surprising is that Obama's approval rating is so low (i.e. only 75%) with African-Americans that have been overwhelmingly supportive of Democrats basically since the civil rights movement era.

Explain why an essentially 'failing race' will always vote, as you say about 90% LIB. There is no other racial demographic that 'block votes' this way There must be a reason. The LIB party has convinced the Black community that their only chance of making sure the welfare cheques/food stamps/free cell phones/ free housing/free medical/free dental/free legal aid continues to flow down from the 'Big Rock Candy Mountain' is to keep voting LIB. Never mind the fact that Obama has had five years to help the Black community and has decided to go golfing instead. Hillary is waiting in the wings. She'll put on a nice big bright dress with big flowers on it and head on down to those S. Baptist churches the day after the 014 elections. There she will somehow forget how to speak english and will instead discover Ebonics as her second language. Honest to GOD if I were a Black man and I saw how the LIBs continue to 'play' Blacks for their votes with impunity I'd be sickened. Even dear old race whore Jackson decried the fact that 'once again the LIBs have gone to the well'.

Don't people know how to read history or does it just pass through empty brain cavities?
So let's see, after a history that started with slavery, followed by overt racism under the law along with being subjected to acts of terrorism and murder where law enforcement was all too often complicit, and then after overt racism under the law ended after almost 200 years in American, blacks have been subjected to continuous discrimination denying equality of economic opportunity that every history book and every study without any exceptions documents African-Americans are a "failing race" in the minds of some conservatives?
I have to assume these same people blame the woman that is the victim of rape by stating she had no moral character.
And why would African-Americans vote almost exclusively for Democrats? How about the simple fact that 8 out of 10 Republicans express explicit anti-black racial prejudice. For the vast majority of Republicans if they want to really see why Blacks overwhelmingly support Democrats it's as simple as looking in the mirror.
African-Americans don't support Democrats because the Democrats are especially good for them but instead because Republicans are especially bad for them.

So let's agree that Whites throughout history, throughout the world are/have a "prejudice" against Blacks. I'm sure you'll agree with that. I agree with that. Certainly across Europe and Asia and India this is true. You haven't lived until you see how Blacks are treated in say France. There must be an explanation beyond "Whites hate Blacks' all over the world. That's not an explanation it's an observation based on fact. So please offer up the reason/s why Whites around the world don't like Blacks. Who do you think the Blacks in Africa hate more than anyone? American Blacks! Yes the LIBs in the US get the Black vote unconditionally, whether or not the LIBs ever actually do anything to help the Black community b/c the Black community keeps buying the LIB promises that never happen.....except for the free stuff. After every election after the Black voter block has turned out for the LIBs the LIBs in turn have much better things to do than actually help the Black community. So in your words the DEMs aren't especially "good for the [Blacks]" but the REPs are even worse. WOW! Now that there is real 'racism'. The Black race globally is experiencing the inevitable reality of 'Social Darwinism'. The strong always survive and the weak never do. Not in the long run.

It's extremely hard to discuss prejudice and discrimination with those that have little or no academic knowledge of the psychological causes. Let it suffice to say that people identify with the 'group' they are a member of and typically disparage those of other groups be it race, ethnic heritage, religion, social status, ideology, gender, age, etc., based upon stereotyping of groups. People seek to establish their own self-esteem in relation to others and the easiest way of accomplishing this it by holding a lower opinion of others based upon group identification.
For example a Protestant would typically believe that the Protestant religion is superior to the Catholic religion, which is why they're a Protestant, and based upon this they would believe they are superior to a person that's a Catholic that chose an 'inferior' form of Christianity. Both the Protestant and the Catholic would tend to believe they're superior to the atheist that has no religious beliefs thinking they're superior based upon the 'morality' that their religion teaches and that they believe the atheist lacks because the atheists morality is not based upon the "word of God" which they hold to be superior to secular morality. They assume that they are superior based upon group identification which results in prejudice against member of other groups.
They will go to great lengths to rationalize their beliefs of superiority over other groups. For example far too often I've read where people have been disparaging of blacks by citing crime statistics, standardized IQ test score, and a lack of economic success in rationalizing that 'blacks' are inherently inferior to whites. The problem is that this is a rationalization that fails to take into account that social and economic discrimination is the root underlying cause of the crime statistics, lower IQ test scores, and lack of economic success for blacks. They will go so far as the claim that many of these surface characteristics also exist in 'black' African nations while ignoring the fact that it's the residual effect of 'white" colonialism where the 'white' ruling class exploited the people and resources of the nation to the point that it will take centuries for those living there to overcome the negative effects of racist colonialism.
I realize that I'm 'talking to the hand" fundamentally because prejudice runs deep and will prevent many from ever seeking to overcome that prejudice. They rationalize it all away saying "I'm not prejudiced" but, in fact, we all are. We cannot eliminate our prejudice and at best we can seek to overcome the rationalizations behind it and work to prevent our prejudice from turning into discrimination.
The first step is really quite apparent. The day a person stops believing that others, based upon group stereotyping, is inferior in any respects is the first day they begin to overcome their prejudice. The problem with this is that the person loses their false self-esteem based upon "relativism" where they consider themselves to be superior to another person based upon group identification. The "Protestant" religion is not superior to the "Catholic" of "Muslim" religion nor are any of these superior to no religious beliefs at all. The "White" person is not superior to the "Black" person or the "Native-American" person or the "Oriental" person. The "Male" is not superior to the "Female" nor is the "Young" superior to the "Old" nor the "skinny" superior to the "fat" nor is the "conservative" superior to the "liberal" nor is the "rich" superior to the "poor" as all are equal when it comes to the person. All of these are invidious criteria based upon stereotyping where the person is rationalizing their superiority to enhance their own false self-esteem.
But I am "talking to the hand" and I'm not so naïve to believe otherwise. People are fundamentally very reluctant psychologically to giving up their false beliefs in their own superiority over others based upon stereotyping of groups incorrectly believing it lessens them as a person when, in fact, it makes them a better person.

So in your opinion Blacks feel superior to Whites and Asians b/c they hold a lower opinion of Whites and Asians as a way of "establishing their own self esteem". That's what you just claimed. Rubbish. I agree with you that Black IQ test scores are generally lower than for Whites. Don't bother attempting to claim IQ scores are skewed in favor of Whites/Asians. Medical science using 'MRI' have proven that the average brain size of Asians is larger than Whites and the average brain size of Whites is larger than Blacks. Not so coincidently Asians score higher than Whites and Whites score higher than Blacks in every IQ test given. Interesting to note that the IQ test was basically designed to be given to Western Europeans which meant there was a 'built in bias' against Asians and Blacks. The Asians, in spite of what should be considered as having a disadvantage STILL scored higher than Western White Europeans. That is a scientific fact of life. Before the MRI there were many theories attempting to explain why Blacks generally scored lower on IQ tests. That debate is over now. The advent of the MRI in measuring brain size pretty much ended the 'All races are intellectually equal" argument among the credible science community. www.news-medical.net/news/2005/04/26/9530.aspxYour "White colonialism" claim to explain why Blacks in Africa, or anywhere else, generally live in squaller and with endemic violence is also 'eight grade' rubbish. Note: For thousands of years long before any White man set foot on African soil there have been non-stop tribal wars. Do you really think the civil/tribal wars going on now, or in the recent past or the waring factions are taking a little break in say: Somalia/Nigeria/S. Sudan/Algeria/The Gambi/Senegal/Uganda/Congo/C.A.R./Mali/Tunisia/Chad/Ethiopia/Djibouti/Eritrea/Comoros/Niger/Rwanda/Burundi/Kenya/Tanzania/Benin/Burkina/Cote d Ivoire/Gambia/Guinea/Sierra Leone/W. Sahara/Zimbabwe/Swaziland/Lesotho/Mozambique/Angola/Malawi/Zambia/Bissau.....did I miss any? are the fault of 'The White Man'? No one's that stupid. Yes in some cases 'The Dreaded White Man' was wholly or partially responsible for some of the tribal conflict in the past but today it's pretty much 100% on the Blacks themselves.......like it was before any White' man showed up. Note: I assume in your grade eight social studies book it mentioned that the slaves sold originally to the Dutch and Portuguese and Spanish and later to the British were slaves from neighboring tribes that some Black chef sold for a piece of broken mirror and a hand full of glass beads. Time to except reality. Some 'races' are superior mentally to other races. Still can't except that reality? Spend some time going over the studies of brain measurements determined by MRI. Or maybe you don't believe brain size has any relationship to IQ. Your grade eight social studies book likely wasn't published before MRI. It's actually quite amusing how you put up posts claiming one thing and then inevitably contradict yourself: Example: You claim in your first para. that all groups "stereotype" other groups "to establish their own self esteem". I assume by that statement you mean "all groups" do this as a sort of natural group survival instinct. Otherwise why do it right? I mean there must be some logical reason why "all groups" do this right? Then later you say: "The day a person [group of 'persons'] stops believing that others, based upon group stereotyping, is inferior in any respects is the first day they begin to overcome their prejudice". So in fact you are claiming that "all groups stereotype in order to establish [maintain] their own self (redundant BTW) esteem yet you call for these same people [groups] not to do so b/c the are "false beliefs". You can't work out which end is up pal. You do this habitually. You're one of these silly LIBs who believe "everyone deserves to get a Gold Medal". They don't. Not in the real world. FYI I hold two degrees. You know, the ones where you attend an accredited actual university for fours to earn the first one and another two years to earn the second. First one a B.Ed, second a B.A majoring in English Literature and then World History. I had dozens of 'you' attend my first year/first semester classes and spout off based on what they learned in elementary school........like you do. Had you handed in a paper like your post I would have put a nice big red line across it. "Needs more research"

As I've said it's hard to discuss a subject with those that have little or no academic knowledge. I person that had this knowledge would know that discrimination in society destroys the self-esteem of the oppressed.
As I also noted those with prejudice will go to great lengths to rationalize their prejudice.
History, not genetics, establishes that "Race" is a construct of the "Racist" as fundamentally there's only one race and it's the Human Race. All human beings share over 99.9% of DNA and cosmetic differences such as skin color have no relationship to intelligence.
The single factor most responsible of differences in IQ test scores is "motivation" which can account for an average of 15-20 point difference in the test score. Oppression destroys the motivation of those being oppressed and has been the accepted reason for why "blacks" worldwide have lower average IQ test scores. The belief that there is a "genetic" difference that causes blacks to score lower on IQ tests (i.e. be of lower intelligence) is propaganda being promoted by those with anti-black racial prejudice as they attempt to rationalize their "superiority" over blacks.
Anyone that hasn't figured this out yet really needs "check their prejudice at the door" and to do a little more academic research. As I've also noted though those with prejudice typically won't do this because it means giving up their false feeling of superiority and false self-esteem that they are "better" than someone else based upon in invidious criteria such as skin color. It really does take a lot of personal motivation to overcome prejudice because a person needs to abandon their own self-ego in order to be open to the fact that their prejudice is distorting the truth.
But I know I'm "talking to the hand" because those with prejudice are going to read an article or study that supports their personal prejudice and stop right there saying, "See, I'm right" as opposed to looking deeper into the subject to find out if prejudice was behind the study. Is the study a "half-truth" and when it comes to race because generally they are because "race" is predominately a historical social construct and not a biological difference between humans.
For those that want to overcome their personal prejudice a good place to start is with the basic assumption that anything we might believe that one group is superior or inferior to any other group based upon race, religion, ethnic heritage, social class, gender or other invidious criteria is erroneous and go from there. When we fully investigate the matter I've never found any cases of where one person was superior to another person based upon the stereotyping of a group.

Then I guess you've never watched an NBA game. Thanks for being honest enough to agree that globally Blacks have lower IQs than Asians and Whites. That's a start. Some 'races' are generally better at certain things then other races. Why? Next time you see any one other than a Black person winning the NY marathon please let me know. Never going to happen. Why? Is it 'racism' to point that out? So you are claiming that the reason a Black kid born within a predominately Black culture, say in a small village in Darfur will score lower is b/c the kid isn't "motivated"? Then how do you explain that the kids born in other cultures under the same economic circumstances throughout Asia will have higher IQs? You did not address the fact that the entire continent of Africa is a caldron of Black on Black tribal violence that has been going on for centuries before any White man arrived and continues to this day. Explain why. Every inner city in the US is a microcosm of what's happening in Africa among Blacks. What's the first thing any Black says after being arrested? "I wasn't thinking". MRIs have proven how brain size relates to IQ and soon science will be able to isolate the gene that causes HPD which is the number one factor in Black on Black violence. HPD is endemic in every Black community in the world. Just as diabetes is. Are you aware that according to medical scientists four our of five Black women in the US are over weight or obese? Or do you believe this number is the result of scientific "prejudice"? You are talking nonsense when you claim "studies" that prove Blacks have lower IQs are "prejudice". I agree that many many 'Whites' and Asians are 'racist' towards Blacks for whatever reason/s. I agree that this 'racism' is in part keeping Blacks from 'getting ahead'. So this is 'life' here now today. It's not going to ever change as far as there being some sort of great global change within White/Asian cultures wherein Blacks are going to be thought of differently. In fact as the world becomes increasingly more and more competitive those with less 'motivation' are being more and more marginalized. It happening more and more. Now when tens of thousands of Blacks are killing each other in some jungle hell hole in Africa it's back page news in Asian/Western media. The prevailing thought now is : "It's what they do to each other no matter how many millions we spend trying to help them. They've been doing it to each other for centuries. And the millions always end up in the pockets of the local tribal chefs. These chefs are increasingly seen living in luxury beach homes hundreds of miles from where their 'people' are putting burning tires around each others necks". Increasingly those Western 'White-guilt' 'millions' have dried up. I know first hand of a local water well drilling company whose owners decided to take a drilling rig to Africa to drill/cap free water wells and install hand pumps in local villages without any fresh water. They spent about fours years going over there during the 'dry season' and drilled hundreds of shallow wells. They left never to return b/c every bit of metal in every well was stolen basically the moment the rig left. BTW, the rig was an old one and was left each year to be used the next year. The entire rig was destroyed by looters. Multiply this by tens of thousands of 'Whites' trying help the Blacks. The 'White guilt' charity tap is being turned off forever. Now the only people who will go anywhere near Africa are the Chinese business men who have already pretty much bought all of Africa's natural resources for...............a piece of broken glass and a hand full of glass beads. And what has happened to the Blacks sitting on top of these researches? They are being used as slaves to harvest the resources for a daily hand full of white flour/trans fats/sugar and salt. When diabetes and accidents make working impossible these Blacks go home to die. No Chinese medical clinics BTW.

There are numerous facts related to standardized IQ tests not the least of which is that they were never designed to measure general intelligence but instead focus on intelligence as it relates to formal education (their original purpose) and enterprise. The first mistake of the "racist" is to attempt to claim that an IQ test reflects the overall intelligence of the person that standardized IQ tests were never designed to measure.
The prejudice is NOT inherent in the standardized IQ tests but instead in the interpretation of the results of IQ testing. The APA has repeatedly stated this when it comes to "racist" interpretations of IQ test scores where conclusions are reached that a lower IQ score reflects intelligence differences between races (that are overwhelmingly a social construct). IQ tests reflect limited specific, not general, intelligent quotients for individuals.
Studies recognized by the APA have also established that many various factors play a huge role in effecting the test scores with "racial genetic differences" not being one of them. Motivation and early nutrition being prime examples of factors that are extremely influential in negatively affecting a person's IQ test scores and can produce variations of an average of 20 points on a standardized IQ test.
The "racist" uses voodoo science to rationalize their racism by misrepresenting scientific data and drawing invalid conclusions.

That's right. MRI results are "voodoo science". Asians and East Indian and 'European Whites' appear to have zero respect for Blacks world wide. What you need to do is explain why that is a fact. We both agree this is the case. There must be a reason right? Simply stating the obvious is NOT an answer BTW. Do Blacks behave differently then other races? Is that one of the reasons? It comes down to 'social Darwinism'. Like it or not. Blacks world wide are seen to be and behave differently than other races. I give the global Black community about twenty years. By then they will be marginalized to the point where they will be a post script in global history. Face it. The 'world' has basically turned it's back on Africa and the endemic Black on Black tribal warfare. Don't see anymore 'White Guilt' telethons begging for money to 'Save The Children' in Africa. All the money went into the pockets of Blacks who stole it and are now living in luxury thousands of miles from their 'people'.

Do you really believe 'Whitey" is to blame? The day is fast approaching when a couple of dozen of these 'young Black men' are going to face a little old Hell-Bitch' S. Korean lady in her son's convenience store with an AK45 on her lap. A thousand rounds and a mouth full of her life's saving. The S. Koreans in LA will never forget having to fight for their lives when hundreds of Blacks decided they wanted to loot and burn down Koreatown. Chirp

That's right. MRI results are "voodoo science". MRI results are not voodoo science but attempting to draw a correlation between the MRI results and general human intelligence that has never been measured is "voodoo" science. There isn't even a consensus in the scientific community as to what "general intelligence" is and lacking an accepted definition it can't be tested for. As I noted (and the APA also establishes) standardized IQ tests measure specific intelligence and not general human intelligence and are very limited in their interpretation as it can only be related to the specific intelligence being measured. There are no IQ tests that test whether anyone is actually more or less intelligent than someone else based upon overall human intelligence and never have been. A person with very low "academic intelligence" (that standardized IQ tests measure) might and often is very intelligent in other aspects of human intelligence that are never measured. By way of analogy it would be like measuring the thickness of the skin on an orange with our standardized IQ tests while ignoring the actual fruit of the orange. Does skin thickness matter? Of course but the fruit inside is far more important and we don't have any IQ tests that measure the fruit inside. The belief that blacks are less intelligent or that they're more prone to crime or other invidious generalizations based upon stereotyping are false and they reflect anti-black racial prejudice. If a person will not accept that simple fact they are the problem and not the solution to the problems of racial discrimination against blacks which is caused by anti-black racial prejudice.
