Reverse racism isn't racism to the mainstream media

Then candidate Sen Barack Obama took his campaign to a New Black Panther Party rally and march in 2007. If you are unfamiliar with this group, the NBPP is essentially the black version of the KKK.

More details of the event are found here Web Link

The White House refuses to confirm whether the Malik Shabazz on the 2009 White House visitors log is NBPP chairman Malik Shabazz.

Just imagine if George Bush had a KKK leader visit him in the White House, that alone would be a top news headline nationally. Imagine, if any of our GOP candidates marched, spoke, or showed up at a KKK rally today. What would the media do? Again, top headlines.

More info here Web Link

Our mainstream media is totally silent on this story.

The double standard never changes, as long as the liberals control the media and the media selectively covers items that fit with their agenda.

Geez jimf01, just when I thought you had something unbiased and intelligent to offer... and, there you go again.

That's right, Jim, don't let your anti-racist bias shine any light on the amateur in chief.

Heh, good point Steve. Mike - is my opposition to racists your problem? Is my opposition to Barack Obama associating himself with racists your problem?

Is being opposed to racism unintelligent? I will grant you, I am biased here. I have a real problem with this. But apparently you do not.

Now, what some of our fellow commenters on the extreme left would do at this point is turn around and call you the racist. If you to not denounce racism for what it is, and you obviously support President Obama, then that makes you the racist, right? Just following the logic of the extreme leftists who comment here so frequently.

And where are they today? Just like you, they are in fact the ones with nothing intelligent to say.
