A Message from a Reader on “Watermelons and Racism”
By Michael Lang on Mar 2, 2009 in INSIGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS
Editor’s Note: Every once in a while The Lang Report receives a comment on one of our articles that stands out and begs to be seen beyond the “comment page.” The comment below from Phil McCracken is one that we thought should be shared with the masses. As a reference, the original article that stirred Mr. McCracken to write is Watermelons on the White House Lawn!
It was widely stated, initially by the Obama administration, that this campaign was not about race. -It wasn’t? Really? This reminds me of the old joke about how us guys like saying that we like Playboy magazine because we like reading the articles.
Come on folks!! We’ve got Black Panthers in Philly guarding voting booths with billy-clubs, totally shoved under the carpet by the general media. We’ve got a record breaking demographic of African-Americans voting for Obama, of whom we can rest assured that a solid percentage never even voted before until now. We’ve got swing voters swayed by a biased media (of whom 85% of the public would agree on that bias)
Why all the interest all the sudden? If he and McCain were to swap political standpoints and opinion…it would not have changed the result. Obama would have still won. But it’s not about race. -Yeah right. It was ALL about race.
Racism is only an opinion nowadays people. It’s not going “keep anyone down” anymore from jobs or opportunities. We’ve got affirmative action, BET, NAACP, United Negro College Fund, and many others facets in place to protect only African-Americans.
Yeah, never mind about prosperity for the other ethnicities. And all the sudden, freedom of speech is getting thrown out the window. And who cares if he was a mayor. That’s not the point. He could have been a Joe-The-Plumber kind of guy and still would have received the same heat.
What’s worse? A guy who shares a bit of narrow-minded humor or a country that is slowly slipping into a censored, politically correct, mandated, and regulated society, where people get sued and fired from their jobs for expressing their 1st Amendment Rights?
I’ll be more than happy to suck it up and choose not to laugh at a joke if it means preserving our freedom of friggin’ speech!

What about the continuous attacks on anything that Obama wants to do? Isn’t that racism? I refuse to believe that the negativity by most right wing politicians and TV/Radio commentators have a base on the issues themselves. Yes, some are proven ignorants, but not all of them!
