Rep. Cleaver: White President Could Be Pushed More Than What We Would Push Obama To Do
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Missouri) on getting something done about high black unemployment: “A white president, frankly, could be pushed a great deal more than we would push President Obama because nobody would accuse him or her of having partiality towards African-Americans. So its a tough spot and it also mean we still have a long way to go in terms of race relations in this country and the President has, I think, moved through these troubled waters about as well as any African-American could become the first black president.”
In other words, Beaver Cleaver just admitted to treating Obama with affirmative action kid gloves.
The truth of the matter is that the CBC wouldn’t be “pushing” a white Democrat President, either. And they wouldn’t be pushing a Republican President in this situation, they would be blaming him or her for the entirety of the problem.
On top of that, how is it possible for the CBC to push a President to do anything? What magic bullet does the CBC have to solve black unemployment or any unemployment? The only thing they could do is to clamp down on cheap labor Hispanic immigration, but the CBC is for amnesty and open borders. Many of the causes of black unemployment are the fault of unemployed blacks themselves, and those are causes that no politician of any color could solve.
