Talk Radio Host Notices Obama is Half-White
Talk radio host Martha Zoller has a good piece in the Dawson Times about the men and women who paved the way for President Obama to become the first President “who identifies himself as black.”
Zoller writes:
“Today, America will swear in the first president who identifies himself as black. In the early days of the campaign, when no one thought Obama had a chance, there was discussion among the “lions” of the civil rights movement on whether Barack was “black enough.” Early in the campaign, people like Al Sharpton questioned whether he was authentically black and later on Jesse Jackson said in a very colorful way that Barack was “talking down to black people.” Both men have since gotten onto the president-elect’s team, but there was a feeling that Barack Obama was an upstart, half-white man who had not paid his dues.”
She wants people like former US Representative J.C. Watts to get some of the credit:
“The real problem for Obama is that Democrats don’t know how to deal with race issues. They were the party of Jim Crow; they were the party of segregated schools. The biggest PR coup of the 20th century was that Democrats gave blacks the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Without the support of a majority of Republicans, the legislation wouldn’t pass. The Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act were wins for the American people, by the American Congress, but Democrats have taken and gotten all the credit.
Prior to the election of Barack Obama, all the powerful positions held by blacks that paved the way for the election of Barack Obama were appointed by Republicans. You can call it white guilt, but I don’t like to get into the heads of people. You can judge people on the actions and their words; you can’t read their minds. Colin Powell was plucked out to be the chairman of the Joint Chiefs and then was considered a viable presidential candidate in the Republican Party; he was the secretary of state for a Republican president. Condoleezza Rice was the national security adviser and secretary of state for a Republican president. It was these appointments by a Republican that laid the groundwork for a successful Barack Obama candidacy.
And let’s not forget our colleagues in the House of Representatives; when J.C. Watts was in the House as a Republican, he held higher positions of leadership than any of the Congressional Black Caucus Democrats ever did, with some of those members serving for 30 years or more. Republicans need not be afraid of their racial heritage and they need not be afraid to challenge President Barack Obama on his ideas and policies. If Republicans do not stand up to the attack on the free market system, our way of life will be gone.”
