Some surprising white support for Obama
By Peter Bradley
If you pay a visit to Barack Obama’s http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4415, you will find a host of subgroups in the “People” section boosting his candidacy. The man who will help us overcome race has separate categories for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, Latinos, First Americans (he is not talking about the ancestors of Kennewick Man) and, of course, African Americans. If you are white and racist enough to notice you are not part of Obama’s rainbow, don’t worry. You can still join groups for students, women, veterans or the LGBT crowd.
If you are just what Obama notoriously called a “http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4201" who is not part of these groups, then you are out of luck. But maybe not for much longer.
A significant number of white race activists—they often call themselves “white nationalists”, analogous to black nationalists, Hispanic nationalists or Zionists and not the same thing as white supremacists—are supporting an Obama presidency as the lesser of two evils and, possibly, the catalyst for a wake up call for white America.
Newhouse News reporter Jonathan Tilove covered the 2008 American Renaissance conference in late February and quoted a number of whites who were ready to support the Senator from Illinois.”We are facing the election of Barack Obama, or, even worse, McCain,” said Sam Dickson, Atlanta attorney and longtime racial activist during his closing speech.
Maryland attorney Howard Fezell wondered if black racial loyalty to Obama could make some whites wonder why they can’t do the same. “Only white voters are expected to look beyond race,” he said.
Even Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance, praised Obama’s campaign strategy and stated that he does not know who he will vote for in November.
Paul Gottfried, who also spoke at the event, speculated that most of the over 250 people in attendance would most likely support Obama over McCain. “Better a black who is honest about who he is than a conservative who is really delivering the liberal agenda,” declared Gottfried.
There seem to be three main reasons for this unexpected support for Obama’s candidacy.
First: http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4337, immigration, official English, the Confederate flag, and other racially-tinged issues are, in fact, pretty much the same as Obama’s.
