Reverend Eric Lee’s Anti-Semitism: A Personal Story [video]
I have no way of telling whether the apology is sincere or not. I don’t wish to pile on, but I recently read about some passages from Obama’s biography “The Audacity of Hope” which I’m excerpting below from American Thinker on March 18, 2008:
On p. 94-95 [of Obama's "biography", "The Audacity of Hope", he describes an effective tactic to deal with White people:
It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved - such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time.
Hmmm. This forces one to think twice about potential practitioners of this particular art form. I've also read many Jewish blogs pondering whether Obama will be friend or foe to Jews and especially to Israel -- here's a disquieting article featured at Drudge about Obama's rhetoric on Israel (no sudden moves!), and his extremely close associations with notorious Islam apologists such as Edward Said, or terror confused "academics" such as Rashid Khalid who once quipped: "Our people [Palestinians] can’t distinguish between resistance and terrorism. We’re fighting for the liberation of our land from an occupation.”
I cringe when I read Jewish posts or articles explaining all of this away like so much unimportant dross. There seems to be a much more thorough, cohesive, and sinister narrative being shared privately among blacks, and sometimes exposed, perhaps inadvertently, publicly as in the case of Lee above.
We’re always encouraged by terror apologists, America bashers, anti-semites, etc. to take note of “context” and “nuance”.
To my way of thinking, the “nuance” of ever more shocking revelations about the tone and content of vitriol among blacks, and the context of apologies by the likes of Lee above, or Obama’s assurances to Americans that he’s not anti-American, or to Jews that he’s not an enemy of Israel begin to ring slightly hollow. But that’s just me.
