Our post racial president thinks al-Qaeda is racist.
Barack Obama was caught without his teleprompter and was asked about the Al Qaeda attack in Uganda that killed over 70 innocent people, including white missionaries from America:
Speaking about the Uganda bombings, the president said, "What you've seen in some of the statements that have been made by these terrorist organizations is that they do not regard African life as valuable in and of itself. They see it as a potential place where you can carry out ideological battles that kill innocents without regard to long-term consequences for their short-term tactical gains." ...
Explaining the president's comment, an administration official said Mr. Obama "references the fact that both U.S. intelligence and past al Qaeda actions make clear that al Qaeda - and the groups like al Shabaab that they inspire - do not value African life. The actions of al Qaeda and the groups that it has inspired show a willingness to sacrifice innocent African life to reach their targets." ... "In short," the official said, "al Qaeda is a racist organization that treats black Africans like cannon fodder and does not value human life."
The President refuses, again, to see that extremist Islam is the problem - not racism. Besides, he is wrong on the facts. AQ has Africans in its ranks. One is one of its up and coming leaders "the next Osama." Blacks masterminded the Embassy bombing and how about the attempted Christmas airplane bomber who was a black Nigerian who wanted to take down a plane filled with white people (was that racism, by the way)? Furthermore, black Muslims in Nigeria have no problem killing black Christians in that nation.
Does Barack Obama give a fig for facts?
Does this president see everything through a racial lens, regardless of the facts? Why is he always so quick to blame racism for others actions (for example, the Harvard incident between the policeman and Professor Gates)? He seems to impute racism where there is no racism.
So much for our post-racial President. We should have known that by now.
