To My Liberal Colleagues In The Media: Treat President Obama Like He Is The President - Not The “Black” President

Juan Williams of NPR was called a “house negro” by someone this blogger went to law school with, simply because Mr. Williams dared to criticize President Barack Obama - ironically, Mr. Williams voted for President Obama and has never voted Republican in his entire voting life. The gentleman who unfairly deemed Mr. Williams by the racial stereotype is Black, but White Liberals who defend the President, even when objective critique is warranted, are themselves racist.

It may not be the kind of racist vitriol you hear spewing from a Klan member, but although subtle, it is just as devastating and patronizing. It is also called paternalism; and no different from the proverbial pat on the back, which says, “good job, boy.” President Obama should be left to face the music like those presidents who were white – for when Liberals interfere with legitimate criticism and shut down dissent, when said dissent is supported by facts, they are, in essence, saying that he does not have the back bone to take the heat. How racist is that?

One of the greatest positions one can hold in law school is being the head of Law Review - one of the many positions our current President had in law school. Do you think that President Obama did not put in the time and study to achieve this position? What if the criteria were truncated because of his color; how isn’t that patronizing and racist? When White liberals interfere with legitimate criticism of our first Black President, they are saying, here comes the good liberal, whose help is integral, to help the Black President out of his predicament - how emasculating is that (it’s rhetorical).

When I was fifteen yeas old, I read the autobiography of Malcolm X, penned by the Alex Haley of “Roots” fame; there is one memorable sentence that’s apropos to the theme of this blog…where Malcolm opines that the difference between most Liberals and Republicans is that the Liberal will call the Black man the “N” word in the privacy of his or her room.  The truth is that no matter how great a job President Obama does, there are those who will hate him because he is Black. I pledge that because I do not see the “truth” as being relative, I will call out those racists too.
