Did Obama Call Whites the “Enemy?”
Did President Obama really mean whites when he called his opponents the “enemy?” Or was he “just” referring to Republicans?
Observers all across the political spectrum have asked this question as America went to the polls under a cloud of racial insults and overt black mobilization by Obama.
A week ago, Obama was speaking in an interview with Univision radio in which he sought to persuade Hispanics to vote for Democratic candidates instead of Republicans.
“If Latinos sit out the election instead of, ‘we’re going to punish our enemies and we’re going to reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us’ — if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s going to be harder,” Obama said.
While Republicans played down the racial aspect of the comment and tried to make out he was talking only about Republicans (which in itself is bad enough, considering other Americans to be the “enemy”) the reality is that Obama was talking in explicitly racial terms.
After all, he was talking directly to Hispanics and not the general public, about issues which directly affect Latinos, and the “upsurge in voting is also a clear reference to the large nonwhite turnout in his favour which took place in 2008.
This is not the first time that Obama has spoken directly to nonwhites to encourage them to vote as a racial block. In April this year, a video broadcast put onto his official site specifically called on “African-Americans and Latinos” to come out and vote in the current elections in order to secure “our” victories.
Now, who was the “our” to which he was referring? Was it that of white Americans? Or was it the blacks and Latinos he was specifically addressing?
When Obama last addressed the Congressional Black Caucus, he continued with his overtly racial mobilization request.
“I need everybody here to go back to your neighborhoods, to go back to your workplaces, to go to the churches, and go to the barbershops, and go to the beauty shops. And tell them we’ve got more work to do,” Obama said.
The “barbershops” reference was a clear indication that he meant black, as that formed an important part of his 2008 campaign.
Defenders of Obama say that he was talking about Republicans. It is however strange that he never actually mentioned them, referring to only to “the other side.” Which “side” would that have been, bearing in mind that he was talking to a blacks-only organization?
Or, conversely, what would the media’s reaction have been if a white president had addressed a “white congressional caucus” and told them to get as many whites out to vote to “stop the enemy” from winning.
It is obvious that extreme double standards are at work today and that there is one law for white Americans, and another law for everyone else.

Although I agree with all the comments, we need to remember that the real people in power, behind the scenes, only care about control(ok money and power as well). They achieve this with, among other tactics, divide and conquer and fear strategies. Obama is just a pawn in the game and that game has been being played for centuries now.

That's one of the problems, it isn't his country.
Your're absolutely right and I stand corrected. The fact is that very few blacks in this country have any patriotism or any appreciation for the founding fathers or great achievements this nation has made in world history and to a degree this mentality is understandable when one thinks of the institution of slavery and the means in which their ancestors were brought to this country. But then on the other hand, where else in the world could blacks today be given not only the oppertunities they have in this country, but the racial previledges they have over the very ones whose ancestors enslaved them. And what do they do with it? They throw it all away through whining and making undeserved demands. It's like I've said many times before, ENOUGH will never be ENOUGH!
I am amazed not by Obama, but by people who thought, and still do, that he would be a "color blind" president.
Recall how he was being groomed for election, and his association with Rev. Wright came to the surface. That issue was handled in the usual predictable way, but I've never forgotten the fact that Obama and his wife had been eager Wright followers. But how quickly the public accepted the lame attempts to bury this fact and have now forgotten that Wright was spewing his venom for years while the Obamas sat quitely soaking it in.
I have yet to hear Obama say anything complimentary about the white people in this country. Of course everyone knows what he means when he couches his words carefully, as in the article above. He delivers a speech such as this with a calm demeanor and a smooth voice (one of his greatest assets as a speaker) so as to make the message appear to be non-threatening.
This man, who rose from obscurity and was groomed and prepped beforehand to become the main multicultural candidate, did not come to be president by chance. IMO he represents the deliberate move to change forever the makeup of our Nation. I only wish the American people had paid more attention during this last election. I'm not saying McCain should have been elected, but more research into the background of candidates and what their core beliefs consist of should be something every voter needs to do before pressing that button in the voting booth.
I believe that he was referring to white people. In this particular case he used code words. I find it abhorrent that he keeps getting away with such outright racist provocations and it's shocking if not hypocritical of everything both parties have tried to do in terms of keeping any knowledge of race from being a subject, yet, this only seems to be the case for white people.
The Democrats and Republicans have one set of rules they want whites to follow (not to mobilize, organize, demand our people be represented) and another for everyone else.
Obama goes about calling on blacks to vote, Hispanics to batter their enemy, and none of this is called racism? Why? If a white president (esepcially with as many racist connections as Obama) went about calling whites to batter their enemy, the enemy of their race, he'd be called out by the liberal media. Where is the outrage? This kind of talk creates racism, division, but is only acceptable if non-whites are the ones doing or being encouraged to do it.
Why are you surprised? Who exactly do you expect to stop him?
Use this as an opportunity to get a consistent message out there. Antiracist is a code word for antiwhite.
