“ETAB, Russians are very prejudiced against Blacks, I’m sorry, I can’t remember the word they use towards Blacks as derision, but it translates as Black Face. That is probably why they didn’t shake hands with Obama, he is considered a lower class human. It is doubly humorous, considering how Blacks have such an affinity for Marxism.”

That doesn’t wash given the treatment, enthusiastic treatment in fact, that Colin Powell, Secretary Rice, and several others have received from the same folks. Stick to your convenient stereotypes if you wish, but Obama has been sized up in Russia and elsewhere and will be manipulated like a puppet by those who recognize his psychological condition.

The old saw about Russian racism may hold true at some lower levels, but it doesn’t explain the way Obama was treated in this incident as well as several others. You’re missing some important interactions by sticking to a preconception. Buying that crap about racism being a lens to look at everything through is one of the lefts biggest weaknesses as it keeps them from seeing reality on many occasions. It also makes them easy to manipulate if you play to their preconceptions.

A suspension of analysis is one of the main goals of sloganeering. Now, the left has embedded slogans so deeply in their own thinking that they’re victims of their own tactics. The ablilty of many professors and pundits to look at the current situtation then yell “racism” is proof that they’ve suspended their ability to analyze. The longer they stick to a race based explaination for how people here and elsewhere react to Obama, the better. Doing so keeps them busy with counter-productive reactions.
