Responses to Obama's famous "race speech"???

[BIG BROTHER]

Hey guys I know this isn't news anymore but I was wondering if you know of any good responses to Barack Obama's (Current president of Amerikkka) race speech were he basically tells to the black community to stop crying about racism and that they should get over it because the usa is not a racist country anymore and denouncing racism is having an excuse to be a failure in life.

So yea I was hoping that Chomsky or some or person had a good response. The reason I did this is because my mother in law who knows I'm a communist sent me an email with that speech:lol::lol::lol: and i wanna send her one with a good comeback:D

Still though, individual blacks won't get anywhere if they laze around with the assumption that everything in America is completely 'racis' and therefore they have absolutely no chance in life. While most may be relatively more impoverished and disadvantaged vis-a-vis the white consensus, there is still no excuse not to put effort forth to become a productive citizen. They might just have to play the hand that they are dealt for the time being.

There is still racism in the USA, no doubt, but the racism cuts both ways in this country. You won't be able to have a truly egalitarian and race-free society until you get rid of the black-on-white racism as well. So yeah, since no living black today ever was a slave, and only the very oldest have mature memories of the segregation Era, it is arguably fair to say that contemporary blacks for the most part need to think about just getting over it and stop blaming whites for all of their problems. The government, in fact, makes quite an effort to accommodate blacks with all sorts of those quota programs(Hiring mostly all minorities for entry-level civil service provisions.) When is the last time you have seen a white mailman under the age of 40?

Also with modified "diversity history" in school textbooks.

There is nothing original with another "pound cake speech." But the truth is that nothing is going to change for blacks if they continue with the whiny victim mentality.

Deroulede (http://www.revleft.com/vb/../member.php?u=25723) says: "blacks won't get anywhere if they laze around"

What do you suppose "whites" "asians" "rich blacks" "women" "gays" "people over 6' tall" should do? Screw you, you don't know what black people should do! We are not some group that has a shared experience.

I don't know what any group larger that several million people "should do" besides smashing racism and fighting for communism.

But Wait......... I thought that we were all one unified people(the human race.) So you state therefore that there are separate ethnic groups. So black people can have thier own special ethnic status? That would not be true communism if you had favored ethnic groups.

Is the goal worldwide communism or black privilege/revenge?

At the very least, blacks should do something besides sitting on their @$$. I credit the ones who engage in some sort of useful occupation as opposed to languishing in the sedentary stereotype.

And could you define more clearly what you mean by just "smash racism?" Just a few details please.

Users on revleft don't talk like that.

No one can forget about history, or is history racist as well because it shows how much 'blacks' have suffered?
When ever you create a system of slavery, you create a bazillion problems in the present and then in the future. Brazil is another example of a country that is paying the price of slavery, where current descendants of slaves have as much as what their descendants had.

Your post was quite ignorant.

Obama's speech could've been much better if it had taken at least some class perspective on it. From what I remember, he presented race as something that just fell out of the sky for some reason, infected us all, and still lives to this day. He also seems like the guy who believes racism was challenged in the USA like this: Martin Luther King was a great guy, along with Lincoln, and eventually they convinced the whole world racism was bad. Nobody talks about the IWW, the anarchists, and the various radical workers' movements that struggled against racism.
