Well, just put Mitt Romney in an ad, addressed to white voters, titled Whites for Romney, and use "inside" phrases about country clubs and church deacons instead of barbershops and church captains...what do you think people would say?

I'm actually kind of astonished that this would be produced it is so blatantly racist. The double standard that is in this country makes me very sad. Things will never improve as long as it exists.
 
I think some need to learn the difference between what is a racially targeted ad vs. what is racist.

But if that lack of understanding makes it easier for you to hate on our black president, go for it.
 
I applaud Perham for implementing his deflection tactic so early in the day...my defenses aren't up and boiling before my first cup of coffee.
 
The economic conditions for Black Americans has been so bad during this presidency that he has to do something to get this voting block motivated. I expect you will see a lot of racially divisive stuff out there as the election gets closer to help to get his base motivated and buying in to his tired old lines.
 
I would have HOPED BO would be for all Americans and not exlude any.
I hoped in vain.
Calling the election of 2012 another moment in African American history is an "us against them" moment.
" Vote for me " because I am an African American.

It is sad and shameful for a man who is supposed to be the president of us all to put out this kind of ad.
 
A hundred years from now, this pathetic excuse for a human being (let alone President) will be known as one of America's biggest mistakes. Most likely THE biggest.

And just as we are perplexed at the following Hitler enjoyed, people will wonder what in the hell the Perhams and satchels of the world were thinking.
 
My company does not allow me to view certain videos from places is it a PAC, Super PACA or the Official Obama Campaign? Remember he has not control over what a PAC or Super PAC produces....

Not defending him, just wanting to be fair and I can't see the ad.
 
major- It is not really an ad. It is a statement by BO speaking directly into a camera (he speaks a lot in the 3rd person which is pretty funny). He is asking black voters to vote BO and to get involved in the election process.

I don't know that it is downright racist but he does say, directly, that voting for him is a vote to make things equal for blacks. He doesn't specifically say (maybe Perham is really BO!!) that not voting for him will make things unequal for blacks but the implication is pretty easy to follow.

It is shameless.
 
I find that strange, why would he be pandering to his base unless they are starting to listen to the 25% unemployment rate by African American Men and realize that he is the Trojan Horse African American. Maybe the DNC is starting to lose the vice grip on the African American voting bloc, that they have had for almost 60 years...

Does anyone know if he did any ads like this in 2008 or for any of his State or US Senate races?
 
What I'm saying is, the only thing they're worried about with African American vote is that they will stay home and not vote at all. They're not worried about a switch to the GOP.
 
Left is correct. BO knows that the more blacks that actually vote, the better his chances as he will get a very high percentage of black votes. He is trying to fight apathy not a weakening hold on his base.
 
It would only not be racist if it is okay for a white candidate to speak directly to whites in the same manner, bringing up points such as the much higher casualties white Americans have suffered than other races in every war fought by the USA, the greater amount of the country's tax base paid by the white race than other races and how much better whites do as a race on intellegence tests than other races.

If not, then yeah it is a racist message.
 
That makes sense, I guess the second time around would not be as historic as the first.

Wouldn't the same be true for those white votes that voted for Obama just because he was black and they wanted to be part of something historic?

For the first time ever we had over 50 million votes for both candidates, if was by far and away the largest turn out ever.

I think this will be a more interesting discussion after we see the demographic results after the 2012 election.

hmmm
 
or as I think they were pointing out lethargic.

I am not sure I will go to the polls and vote in November...... I will be voting in the Texas Republican Race for Cruz, Gingrich and anybody running against Dr. Burgess!!!!!
 
uh
Only 95%?
I guess there are more dominants than anyone thought.

As had been pointed out this kind of call for blacks to vote for the brutha BO does signal unease in BO's camp, maybe not necessarily the worry that Smart African Americans will not vote for BO this time but that Bo will lose some of the white guilt.

It is still an offensive ad.
 
Ha.

Ha ha.

Not racist.

Responding to race's place in politics, especially in the self-identification of a major portion of his constituency? Yes.

A double standard is not racist, or necessarily inappropriate. The grasp some of you have of the concepts of race and racism is child like. So facile and unaware.

I think the assumption that he is trying to get his base going is correct. He does not want African Americans in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida staying home.
