"Get That Worthless Nigger Out Of The White House"

The sentiments of some Americans became apparent when Barack Obama was in Denver in 2008 for a huge rally at Invesco stadium.  Three men were arrested for plotting to shoot him.  One of the perpetrators was quoted as saying, "He don't belong in political office. Blacks don't belong in political office. He ought to be shot."

 The racist sentiments became more strident as Obama advanced his plan for affordable health care.  Those of us who were alarmed at the growing racist demonstrations and attitudes among the Tea Party were exchanging links to such Internet sites as this one:

Get That Worthless Nigger Out Of The White House

With each passing day I become more and more enraged that such a stupid, worthless coon is in the White House for God's sake! He's a global embarrassment and a very high security risk for the nation itself.
 
Seldom have I run across such an arrogant, conceited, yet utterly stupid ghetto buck masquerading as a human. He's the perfect definition of "uppity nigger." It's like when blacks shave their heads to look more human. If they went around with their natural nappy head of nigger hair, white women would be much less likely to look upon them as human, and they'd get a lot less white women. Blacks do their level best to hide who they really are, even to the point of wearing western Caucasian suits. But it's like putting a dog turd in a hotdog bun. One bite tells it all.

Using language a bit more sanitized, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell announced to the nation that his and his party's main mission would be to carry out the agenda set in this crude blog:  to get Obama out of the White House.  

People who tracked the racist revival in America decided not to spread word of these incidents, thinking that they were most likely the angered expressions of a few extremists and nothing positive could be served by amplifying their voices.

Then Mitt Romney began his  bid for the presidency, and his main point of attack was exactly those points announced in the bold face first paragraph of that blog above.  He harped on allegations  and insistences that Obama was incompetent, clueless, obsequious, and unable to understand the business of creating jobs and representing the nation.  His criticisms followed all the racist dogma held so dearly by white supremacists.

When it was pointed out to his minions that their criticism of Obama was following the old patterns of racism, they responded that they were criticizing his policies, not his person, and contended that charges that their exercises in free speech were racist was unfair.  But when pressed on what they found wrong with Obama's policies, they responded what was wrong was that they were Obama's policies. 

While Romney has not attributed the faults he alleges of Obama directly to race, his lead surrogate John Sununu has.  He has said that Obama doesn't know how to be an American , a flaw in his essential makeup.  He openly contended that Colin Powell's endorsement of Obama was a matter of race.  It's that old racist contention that if you give blacks an inch, they'll take over the world.  

In 2008, those expressing racist attitudes were a very large minority.  Those attitudes are now held by a majority, according to an Associated Press survey reported in the Washington Post:

  In all, 51 percent of Americans now express explicit anti-black attitudes, compared with 48 percent in a similar 2008 survey. When measured by an implicit racial attitudes test, the number of Americans with anti-black sentiments jumped to 56 percent, up from 49 percent during the last presidential election. In both tests, the share of Americans expressing pro-black attitudes fell.

 Mitt Romney has displayed what he regards as leadership.  If he is elected president, we now know exactly what he means as he helps Americans take their country back and re-establish its place in the world. They've taken it back to Jim Crow and are now in the majority.
