“It was as if my very presence in the White House had triggered a deep-seated panic, a sense that the natural order had been disrupted,” Mr Obama writes. According to a copy of the book obtained by CNN, the former president’s new book deeply explores how the Republican party evolved during his eight years in office and reacted in response to his presidency. “For millions of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House, he promised an elixir for their racial anxiety,” in the first volume of his new memoir: A Promised Land.

It’s been almost four years since a half-black man was in the White House for eight years. Many of us have been relieved that his race-obsessed provocations were out of our lives but seeing how he’s making it all about himself (and race again), rightly to sell a book, a response was in order and so posted on Twitter.

I correctly emphasize half-black as there are always family dynamics that outsiders don’t understand and wisely don’t interject themselves in. Many non-blacks, especially younger types, have no idea of some of the dirty laundry that’s been stirring internally for decades so when they do chime in, it’s done to placate feelings of the near-total ignorant.

The dance scene in Spike Lee’s 1988 “School Daze” is a musical rendition of this internal “discussion”.

Liberals, especially those running the entertainment industry, clearly prefer light-skinned blacks. They’ve always been considered “non-threatening”. Look at the most well known black singers in the music industry and the vast majority are the light-skinned. Internal tension and resentment is understandable.

 
Despite his “charm”, it could be honestly debated if Barack Obama would’ve even been considered to be a viable presidential candidate if he was a dark-skinned black man.

He was wowed by Obama’s oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama — a ‘light-skinned’ African American ‘with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one’.
— Sen. Harry Reid on Obama’s “racial appeal”

I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.
— Sen. Joe Biden

Look at who’s possibly positioned to be the next Vice President of the United States. A light-skinned “woman of color” with no Negro dialect unless she wants to have one.

Sadly, the most incendiary race toxicity comes from the light-skinned who are constantly trying to prove their blackness.

2023: Rachael Rollins resigns as U.S. attorney after damning accusations of ‘abuse of authority’

Let’s not leave out the honorary mentions of a growing list of white people, “identifying” as blacks, trying to prove their “blackness”.

The media loves the halfricans, they are empowered, and will be in our faces as long as they’re useful to create as mush racial tumult as possible… in a non-threatening way.

The women of MSNBC are reshaping the television landscape

Now, while that looks great for all things women, equality, yada yada, this would not be considered a good thing if progressives couldn’t find a reason to piss on it, and given their propensity to call out anything non-inclusive, with good reason.

MSNBC proudly shared a Los Angeles Times article on Twitter boasting its female-dominated daytime programming, along with a photo of its five female daytime anchors. It was not lost on the public that all the women in the image were white.

The LA Times article was entitled “The Women Warriors of NBC” and detailed how five women – Stephanie Ruhle, Hallie Jackson, Andrea Mitchell, Katy Tur, and Nicolle Wallace — came to dominate its daytime programming. The article points out that this directive comes in light of criticism of the network for its “sluggish” investigation of sexual harassment claims at NBC.

Almost all of the tweet’s nearly 2,000 replies pointed out its lack of diversity. Soledad O’Brien, who previously worked for MSNBC and now hosts a weekly talk show produced by Hearst television, quoted the tweet and added, “Zero women of color in this picture.”

As context is everything when it comes to liberal hypocrisy, let’s not approach this as a one time case of a sensitivity misstep. This kind of thing has happened before and was celebrated.

Hillary Clinton attracts a rarity on the campaign trail — an overwhelmingly female press corps

With the exception of one who can play the people-of-color card when it best suits her, this bunch is all white as well and it appears to be a pattern that also happened where one would’ve least expected to see it, and it too was noticed.

Does the Obama Campaign Have a Diversity Problem?

Duh.

So, it would be unfair to single out MSNBC for favoring whites, especially white women, in selection for these high-paying gigs.

Liberals in media, in particular, appear to favor young and white, PERIOD. Remember this (again) when the sanctimonious, online or on our televisions, lecture Republicans and/or conservatives about anything “diversity”.

It’s not just a case of do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do; it’s clearly who MSNBC, CNN, and the broadcast news networks (thus their targeted demographics) prefer.
