Since the first Democrat caucuses and primaries began in January, there has been a consistent media theme that it's acceptable for blacks to vote for Barack Obama because he's black, but racist for whites to vote for Hillary Clinton because she's white.
On Tuesday's "Morning Joe," MSNBC's Pat Buchanan exposed how utterly absurd and hypocritical this view is even as the Washington Post's Richard Cohen actually defended it.
What resulted was likely a far more honest discussion about race and racism in this nation than what Obama offered to the American people on March 18 when he tried to explain his connection to Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Without further ado, here were some of the highlights (video embedded right, grateful h/t Countdown to Hardball):
PAT BUCHANAN, MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST: Why did 92 percent of the black voters in Philadelphia vote for Barack Obama other than the fact that he's African-American?
RICHARD COHEN, WASHINGTON POST: Well, I agree that race is a factor on both sides. But, but, but to feel a sense of solidarity with, with someone of your own race or ethnic group, or whatever it is, that's one thing I understand, especially when it's going to be an historic moment. But to vote against somebody...
BUCHANAN: Okay, well here's the thing: suppose the voters in West Virginia felt a sense of solidarity with a white woman. Is that wrong? They voted for her.
COHEN: I don't think they voted for her, I think they voted against Barack Obama.
BUCHANAN: And you think the ones in Philadelphia however voted for good reasons, and the ones in West Virginia for bad reasons (laughing)?
Exactly! But there was more:
BUCHANAN: A lot of my voters, white voters, they're very bitter at the kind of comments that were made about the people in West Pennsylvania and like that, and they're saying, "What are you talking about? They're voting for that fellow because he's African-American, we're voting for our folks." What's wrong with that?
COHEN: Well, why are their folks white instead of say their folks represent their economic interests or their folks represent...
BUCHANAN: Well, what about Philadelphia? You think they're voting for Obama's healthcare plan?
COHEN: No, I don't. I think they're making, kind of like it's a vote about racial solidarity. It's a vote about can you get a black person to become the president of the United States after a hundred and something years after the Civil War, etc., etc., etc. It's the same reason that a lot of white people want Obama to become president, because it's a great historic statement. It's a statement of a kind of country we want to be.
Amazing. And this is what we can expect from the media once Obama is officially crowned the nominee: any white person that votes for John McCain is a racist.
Do yourself a favor and watch the entire video to fully understand the depths of this media hypocrisy.

Hypocritical Jargon
June 3, 2008 - 10:35 ET by MeanderingHypocritical to say the least. I love how people are really ONLY voting for Obama because it’s a statement that a African-American can be president a hundred something years after the civil war. Not because his policies are what America needs, not because he’s the best candidate, but because of his race. Yet they say race has nothing to do with it, unless you’re white that is. Nice job Buchanan!
So, according to Cohen,
June 3, 2008 - 10:37 ET by BDSo, according to Cohen, voting for a certain minority is okay regardless of qualification if the election will set a precedent in history? But voting for another minority is wrong because the historical precendent will not be as large a change?
Well aint that retarded thinking.....
I get the impression that there is a certain faction amongst liberals who would vote for a person in an irrecoverable coma on feeding machines, if that particular person were from a supposed victimized minority.
I Wonder What Cohen Would Say
June 3, 2008 - 17:05 ET by geoff.galeAbout Mr. Jindal down in Louisiana? An ethnic minority winning in a state that's predominantly black and white? Sounds subversive to me!

Let me get this straight
June 3, 2008 - 10:50 ET by KC MulvilleWhy does Cohen assume that white people must be voting against black people? Is it because he can't understand why anyone would vote for a white person when you could be voting for something historic, like a black man getting elected? Well, jeez, I don't know, how about for something historic like a woman getting elected? Maybe there's something to this misogynist complaint after all.
All I know is that Cohen has to admit that all those white people who didn't vote for Obama because he was black ... were all Democrats. We'll remember that when the fall comes and liberals like Cohen are charging that Republicans are racist.
Cover for the Racist blacks!

Come on people. Blacks are the most Racist SOB's in our Country!

NO! NO! NO! chas, you are better than what you just said and so are most people. I am a Right Wing Christian Conservative and racism is unacceptable at any level, yet it exists in every single one of us, to one degree or another as a blight on the human condition.
That does not make it acceptable and we should reject it in ourselves while we decry it's expression in all others.
As I despise a black man or woman, I despise God's son and his daughter by doing so. Those who despise me for my whiteness are equally guilty.
In my thoughts I have failed, fail and will fail and therefore in my actions;;; but strive for perfection of thought in this as well as all things but I will never be perfect.
White Democrat leaders are the most racist SOB's
June 3, 2008 - 12:45 ET by Daniel BakerThey are the ones that tell the black community to be racist. They spin tales of all the racism that still exists.
Blacks probably have the highest percentage of racist population for any American ethnic group. Partly because of lash back from the years of racism in America, and partly because of break down of the Black family.
It is a subject that should be explored on mainstream media.

I have disagreed with you on more than one occasion, but this time I agree 100%.
However, if you think the liberal MSM is ever going to look into the truth about racism I'm afraid you are mistaken. Keeping racism alive works in favor of the scumbags in the media.
"Abstain from McCain"
A rather broad brush
June 3, 2008 - 11:25 ET by americaneagleI am an African American and I am not in the least racist, and your rant does nothig but further the long held belief that conservatives are racists. Listen to what you're saying: Since there are a majority of blacks voting for Obama AND since the members of that one church congregation stood and cheered the same rhetoric they have been cheering for years, then "Blacks are the most racist SOB's in our Country"?
How would you feel if I came on here and said, "Look at all the white hayseeds who have belonged to the Klan, and look at what Party David Duke belonged to. White conservative Republicans are the most racist SOB's in our Country!" Would you like the sound of that? No? Then what gives you the right to smear an entire race as a bunch of racists because some of them vote for a candidate you don't like or go to a church you don't approve of?
If conservatives really want to make inroads with black voters, I don't think the way to do it is to have self identified conservatives ranting about "all blacks" being any one thing is particularly constructive. Whatever happened to all the high flung rhetoric about judging a man by the content of his character? Or does that go out the window the moment any black or group of blacks does something you don't agree with?
Broad brush? Really?
June 3, 2008 - 11:49 ET by harqmanAmerEagle. From one broad brush to another huh. As it is okay for you to take the comments of one and apply them to the group!? The belief sir is that white people are racist, not conservatives. The racism we have all been talking about in the past months has come from and is exclusive to the Democratic party. Why you ask? Because they are the ones voting for Hillary and against Barry. Not conservatives. So it is the Dems that are doing all the "racist" voting right now.
His right to express his opinion sir comes from the Constitution of the United States of America. I will suggest but this one time that you give it a read. Second you have no idea sir what it is like to be white in America and risk being labeled a racist. For something like voting against Barak. I am going to vote against Barak. You know why? Because I am a white conservative. According to you, your people believe me to be a racist. How do black people walk down the street in say Jackson Mississippi and pick out the white conservatives? Or do they just assume that all the whites are conservative and thus racist.
Look sir at what you are saying. Broad brush indeed.

June 3, 2008 - 18:19 ET by the strugglerI'm with you.Right on
harqman
June 3, 2008 - 19:51 ET by americaneagleRead and comprehend, please! My comment was directed at one person who decided to call all blacks "the most racist SOB's in the Country", even though he cannot possibly know what all blacks think. I also did not label anyone as anything, I simply gave an example of what he was saying about all blacks by simply flipping it around. I think Rush likes to call it "Using absurdity to illustrate the absurd", since it is patently absurd for all blacks to labeled racists for voting for Obama, or because the congregants at Trinity UCC got excited at hearing their guest preach the same vitriol that their regular ministers preach, I decided to see how he would react to having all conservatives linked to the Klan or David Duke since they have been described as right-wing and Duke ran as a Republican for Senate. I suppose I struck a nerve, and now you should have a better understanding of how I feel when I hear people attempting to lump every black person into one monolithic entity.
And what, pray tell, does the Constitution have to do with this conversation? I have not attempted to tell anyone not to exercise their right to free speech, but I reserve the right to criticize and challenge speech that I find ignorant and disagreeable. And his post about all blacks as racists fits that bill perfectly, in my opinon.
Further, what does a black man walking in Jackson have to do with anything, and why do you think I care whom you vote for? I never said anyone was a racist, never accused anyone of it, and I take exception to your trying to put those words in my mouth, so to speak. If you stepped back and read what I actually wrote, instead of seeing what you obviously expect blacks to write (or say, or feel) you would realize that my ENTIRE point was that it is not fair to paint entire groups with a broad brush based on the actions of a precious few.
So the next time you want to try to take me to task, go back to the lessons that were taught in about 2nd grade and brush up on your comprehension skills, because they are obviously lacking!
As I was watching
June 3, 2008 - 12:19 ET by red_dragon311As I was watching Greta van whatever last night ( because she said there was new evidence on Drew peterson) she was speaking to a person from time.com and this person said of Rev Wright's rants that this is what happens in most black churches all the time but we are focused on this one because of Barack H-word Obama.
So let me ask you, if a person is voting FOR Barack H-word Obama just because he is black, how is that different from NOT voting for him just because he is black?
I'll wait to be called a racist for asking such a question

I've been living and paying
June 3, 2008 - 12:42 ET by ChasvsI've been living and paying for the sins of the past for over 50 years. I've seen "affirmative action" take jobs away from qualified Whites and given to unqualified Blacks.
I agree there are some Blacks I know who are not Racist. But my experience has shown me there are more racist among them than those who are not.
BHO himself said his church is typical of the black churches in America. If that's so, then please tell me why are they cheering for the racist rants? Is that typical behaviour? Is that not racist? That doesn't happen in ANY church I've ever been associated with.
Is our lord and savior BHO telling us a lie?
Racist numbers are..........
June 3, 2008 - 13:33 ET by harqmanThe numbers of racists in each group are probably pretty close. But black people can call out a white person, or say something racist and couch it in "our 400 years of history....bla bla bla bla!" And the whole world goes "yes yes that is so true. 400 years bla bla bla."
And the black guy is off the hook to race bait another day. A white guys says something even close to racism and the frick'n world come to a screeching halt. Imus. Racist? I don't think so. Over the top stupid thing to say? You bet. The Duke case. Yea let's not even get started there. A Dem prosecutor attacking white kids on a lie. Where were the forced apologies from uncle al and jessie? No where to be found. So we get to see black racists all the time. Because they don't have to pay a price. Name on that has. Sharpton and Jackson have both gotten rich being racists.
Speaking of gone, American Eagle? Are you still playing with us or did you just drop your race bait and leave?
Don't be afraid of this white conservative. Trust me, as a Marine I understand the concept of judging a man by his character.
I have other things to do...
June 3, 2008 - 20:39 ET by americaneagleI have better things to do than spend all day at NB arguing with you, but don't ever think that you are able to scare me away. As a matter of fact take a look up the page and you will see that I have responded to you at length.
And only an idiot with poor reading comprehension skills could take what I wrote previously as race-baiting. If you like I will explain my original post in language you can understand.
It is wrong to paint anyone with a broad brush and it is wrong to impute an entire race/ethnicity with racism because of the actions of a few. By bringing up David Duke and the Klan, I was attempting to show you how absolutely absurd it is to do that and it obviously pushed the same button in you that the "racist blacks" line pushed in me. Welcome to the world of being broad brushed, Marine! It's not so fun when it's you getting smeared, is it?
As for the Constitution, I have two copies and have read them quite a few times. And you know what, I don't see anywhere in there that it is unconstitutional for me to disagree with someone else's opinion. In fact, I think the right to free speech is universal last time I checked. You have a right to say what you want, but you don't have a right to not be challenged on it. If you want to call me a "race-baiter" you had better come with better than that.
And one other thing, if my post was so filled with race baiting, why is it that only two people read it that way? If it was truly race baiting, don't you think that someone, anyone else would have noticed it?
Yeah, me too.
I've been going to black churches a long time
June 3, 2008 - 20:21 ET by americaneagleI have been going to black churches for nearly my entire life, and I have never heard such talk coming from any pulpit I have been near. Do you simply take the line that this is typical behavior as gospel because it is what BHO says, or because the media tries to package it that way? If you are going to judge blacks and the black church on what the media report, or how the media tries to spin things, why are you even at NB? You should know by now that there is no one line of thinking for blacks, that there is no one black leader, and that blacks are not some unthinking monolith! To do that is to buy into the racist mantra that "all blacks are x, y, or z" and allows you to not deal with blacks simply as individuals.
Just think about what you said about knowing some blacks that are not racists, but finding that most blacks are (a clear paraphrase of your words). Do you not know how racist that sounds, to say that most blacks are racists...even though you are in no position to say that. But you seem to have decided that most blacks are racists and you view the world through that particular prism; and just like blacks that are prepared to see racism everywhere in society, you have prepared yourself to see racism in your interactions with blacks...whether it exists or not. When you lock into a mindset that sees anyone as a member of a group first and foremost, you deprive yourself of the ability to know them as individuals and you allow yourself to paint them according to your personal prejudices.

Cohen The Tasmanian Devil
June 3, 2008 - 11:22 ET by SickofLibsSpin, spin, spin, you whirling dervish! Cohen actually tied himself in a knot. This is a landmark clip for several reasons:
1) Buchanan said out loud, clearly and succinctly, the truth about the Obama rascist hypocrisy;
2) Mika actually kept her mouth shut close to two minutes, and did not interject a single yeah, hmm, right, ooh, or anything else.
3) We discover Mika "loves a little friction myself."
– "Mika is a human mockingbird, the annoying bird I have come to despise."
Well, then, I'm a racist!
June 3, 2008 - 11:23 ET by jefflebowskiAccording to the left, I am a racist! I define racist as a white person who doesn't do or say what blacks or the left wants them to do.
It is truly amazing to listen to these media fools fall all over themselves trying not to admit that blacks vote for Obama because he is black. And when they do admit it, it is because of some historical miracle taking place and not that they are racist.
I believe that this is good for us all. Finally, white people can come out from the political correct prisons we have been in for years and say what is on our minds concerning race issues. For the vast majority of us, our views on other races come from life experience, not some universal hate of other races thrust upon us as the MSM likes to believe.
Yes, I am a "racist" but I still won't vote for McCain!

I am sick and tired of msnbc and other talking heads attempting to guilt people into voting for Obama because he is half black...
It is NOT going to work...he is a LEFTIST...the reason why he will NOT win you dunderheads...simple as that...by the way where the heck were all of you when a black republican ran for Pres? Eh? You did your best to get rid of him...period...I am writing in Keyes this year, not because he is black, but because he is the best person to vote for, for me anyway....do not ever call me a racist....or anyone else, you use racism when it is convenient to you leftist slime-balls...don't be preaching to me about anything.
Pat did a great job with all of this today.
"Never murder your opponent when he is committing suicide." ~ W. Churchill
This is yet another reason
June 3, 2008 - 11:51 ET by ckc1227This is yet another reason why Obama should lose come November. No self-respecting white person is going to vote for him after having "you're racist" shoved down their throats for 4-5 more months, especially with the blatant racism coming from the people he associates with and the church he attended for 20 years. It's just not going to happen. If it does, then this country is already far more gone than we thought.
You could see how he was halted
June 3, 2008 - 12:05 ET by WhoIsJohnGaltby Pat's points and questions, illustrating of course the hypocrisy, but also the poorly thought out position that he has taken. When you start with a "feeling" and then try to justify it, you always get flummoxed, as he did. If you start with a well-reasoned position and think on the various aspects of it and come to a conclusion based on rational arguments, you KNOW the subject cold. That's why Libs are such poor debaters. They always get to a point where their argument is reduced to "...because I feel."
Reminds me of a liar being caught by a question that he didn't anticipate...remember Scott (whatshisname, murdered his wife/unborn son in California and threw them in the bay?)...he was being interviewed by Baba Wawa or some other twit, and she asked him a question about his alibi that he hadn't thought through. You could see the look on his face when he realized that this was a defining moment and he'd better answer properly...of course he didn't. It was very telling.
Another problem with libs is . . .
June 3, 2008 - 13:47 ET by WingletDriverthey are never challenged by their peers for their asinine beliefs. Ole Mika was jumping in the fray to save this dimwit from Pat's incisive questions. Why did it have to fall to Pat B. to make this man look as stupid as his position? Why did Mika B. pull him out of the hole he was digging?
Instead, this political hypothesis should have been quelled by any rational thinking person, liberal or conservative. But the MSM is so deluged with uncritical groupthink that this passes for genuine political insight. And Mika, rather than change her opinion based on critical flaws in this moron's hypothesis, tries to save this guy from reason and logic.
Let's move on and talk about real issues
June 3, 2008 - 12:28 ET by WisdomLook, here is how we end this ridiculous discussion that blacks are racist for voting Obama. The percentage of blacks supporting the Democratic candidate in this race is hardly different from the past election years. It has very little to do solely with the fact that he's black. Look at the facts.
http://www.gallup.co...
(African-Americans) have given every Democratic presidential candidate and incumbent since Lyndon Johnson in 1964 a consistent, and at times off the chart, percentage of their votes. They gave Democratic presidential candidates Al Gore and John Kerry nearly 90 percent of their vote, and those were white Democrats.
http://news.newameri...
I believe you might be
June 3, 2008 - 12:44 ET by BDI believe you might be missing the key fact, that being that 90% of African Americans are voting for one candidate over the other cadidate, when both are democrats and their published positions on the issues very almost not at all.
The salient fact is one candidate is black, the other is not.
Therefore, saying "But blacks as a group traditonally vote democrat" and thus this is not racist misses the point.
"Look, here is how we end

Dang, you got us Sherlock. What were we thinking?
Oh, by the way, of the two democrat candidates running for the democrat nomination, one black and one white, which one is getting 90% of the black vote?

When they get into that booth I don't care if they are the Chairman of Hillary's Campaign, if there's a black candidate, that's who they are gonna vote for. They can't NOT. The Republican Party can forget about the 200-300 black votes they usually get, they won't even get them this time!
They will vote for a convicted felon if he's black rather than a white candidate...it's as simple as that. And this isn't considered racist? Only when I say "I voted for the white guy" is it racist...

Far left insanity on race
June 3, 2008 - 15:38 ET by Parker1227In many universities it is taught that "racism" is only something that an oppressor group can do. Victim groups, being comprised of nothing but poor pathetic victims, are somehow automatically above racist proclivities or immune to this less evolved aspect of human nature.
This conveniently excuses and justifies the obvious institutionalized racism rampant throughout the Black community. (See: Rev. Wright and 10,000 other Black "leaders" who show daily contempt for King's dream.)
Obviously not all Black people are racist, but it would make sense that if almost all Whites are taught that is shameful to be race conscious, much less racist, while many Blacks are taught that race consciousness is a good thing and that it is impossible to be both Black and racist, then it just makes sense that a larger percentage of Blacks would feel comfortable expressing racist POVs.
Race based identity and grievance politics cause untold harm to people of all colors in this great nation.

Does reality count?
June 3, 2008 - 18:27 ET by w0tmIt appears to me we've had 40 years of a one-way vast improvement in race relations. When anything racist is said by someone who is black it canNOT be racist. As a minority, anything they say is inherently not racist (I think it was Jesse Jackson said that).
How do I ignore reality? Preachers spew the most racist harranges from the pulpit of a major big city mostly black attendance church and wild cheers, dancing and applause erupt from everyone in view of the TV screen and, from the sheer volume, NO one was sitting on their hands. NO boos; nothing other than loud cheers the hate-filled disgusting speech became. Was this an isolated incident? Are all black racists in this country members of this one single church and all of the other thousands of black atendancechurches filled with people who treat and judge people NOT by the color of their skin?
Find ONE major urban mostly white attendance church with anything like this in any sermon in the last 20 years. You will not! You will find thousands of healing sermons working to bring the races together to be as one as God intended. Only a KKK rally would equal any of these disgusting sermons. I"m sorry, I have to go by reality. Meaning what I saw and heard. We are told to ignore that! Assuming Obama wins, we will be FORCED to ignore that. "Politically Correct" will become law with severe punishment for those who speak or even think the truth.

Black vote for black,
June 3, 2008 - 20:10 ET by GregEBlack vote for black, hey no problem (or any minority). Not only no problem but celebrations all around.
White vote for white, racist, discriminatory, biggotted.
Typical liberal thinking. It's where everything is thanks to liberals. Those who claim to hate prejudice and discrimination, in principle, actually don't carry that principle they claim, because when that same prejudice and discrimination is in their favor, it's fine. That ain't principled.
Congressional Black Caucus, Diversity goal BS in the workplace, Affirmative Action, Quotas, etc....it's all discrimination, yet it's perfectly fine. Interesting. Let someone try to start a Congressional White Caucus and see what happens to them.
