Ben Stein doesn’t just think Obama is “the most racist president there has ever been in America,” he suggested African Americans are little more than dishonest racists for supporting him. He got only mild pushback from Fox host Shannon Bream
Like Mark Levin, who similarly lauded Republican policies toward African Americans on Fox, Stein’s underlying message was that blacks are too stupid – or, in this case possibly too racist – to get it.
Stein sounded like he was protesting a bit too much about GOP love for African Americans. After accusing the White House of “trying to racialize all politics,” Stein insisted, “there are no (Republican) policies” against African Americans. He called it “just nonsense” that Republicans are making life difficult for them.
It begs the question as to why Stein thinks they don’t vote Republican then. But host Shannon Bream didn’t ask.
To her credit, Bream did point out that African Americans see Republicans as cutting budgets and programs that “help poor folks.”
But Stein dismissed that as ridiculous. He claimed that Republicans “saved this economy.” (Just forget how the Great Recession started under George W. Bush and began recovering under Barack Obama.)
Stein continued, “Whatever little, tiny cuts they (the GOP) might have made here or there in welfare programs” were, according to Stein, insignificant. Tiny cuts? How about working to cut $40 billion from food stamps, $770 billion from Medicaid, and to repeal ObamaCare altogether?
Really showing how sympatico he was with African Americans, Stein declared, “This president is the most racist president there has ever been in America. He has purposely tried to use race to divide Americans.”
Again, that suggests that Obama’s high support in the black community signals that they are racist, too.
Bream offered that maybe the GOP should work to change African Americans’ perception of them but Stein clearly thinks it’s the African Americans who should do the changing. He said, “They’re allowed to feel however they want to feel but it’s basically just an excuse for saying, ‘Look, I’m gonna vote for President Obama ‘cause he’s my own race.' I mean, that’s what it basically comes down to."
Hard to believe they don’t see it that way, eh?

’Nuff said.
Seriously, Willy- Enjoy your ban, but try to think things out before you sock puppet your way back.
- twelve US Presidents were slaveholders
- Lincoln thought blacks were inferior to whites — and continued to think so even after signing the Emancipation Proclamation
- and Wilson screened D.W. Griffiths’ “Birth Of A Nation” at the White House
