The quote above was supposedly from Barack Obama’s white girlfriend when he was a young man after they came out of a theater – one of the many racial things that were formative to Barack Obama’s life as told in the work of fiction called “Dreams from my father”.
Someone finally got around to tracking down this girlfriend, who denies that this event ever happened – and when confronted with that, the President of the United States admits it wasn’t true – it was a composite of several different white girlfriends he had (or just something Bill Ayers made up while writing Barack Obama’s autobiography).
The typical take on “right wing” talk radio about this went in two directions – how Barack Obama just makes up stories about his life that weren’t true (like his mother decided to get pregnant in response to the uprising in Selma Alabama that wouldn’t occur until 3 years after he was born – echos of Hillary Clinton saying she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary) or contrasting how little “the media” is curious about finding the truth of the life of Barack Obama while searching for every tiny thing they can about Mitt Romney, even going to the point of making things up that they wish are true and reporting them as fact.
John Derbyshire has an entirely different take and I think he’s exactly correct based on what we know and my own experiences. In his 20s, he knew he was going to be in politics and do something big (his KGB handler told him that!)… In order to be credible in the Black Communisty, you can’t have a white wife – period. Most of the reason OJ Simpson got off was not because of the police (although that was a good excuse), but anger by the black women on the jury that OJ’s wife was white and deserved what happened to her. [this is my point, not Derbyshire’s]. Much of the outrage directed at Clarence Thomas from the Black Communisty was not only his politics but his white wife.
So allow me to spin a possible conversation that is more likely than what Barack’s book said, following the theme laid down by Mr Derbyshire
She: Barack?
Barack: Yes dear?
She: I love you.
Barack: I know that
She: [you were supposed to say I love you back] So where is this thing going?
Barack: What thing is that?
She: You know…. us… I love you, but I’m not sure where our relationship is headed
Barack: I see… well where do you want it to go?
She: I don’t know…. Can you see a possibility that we’ll get married some day and have a family? I would really hope that might be possible. [so I can cancel my appointment at Planned Parenthood]
Barack: No, that’s not possible. You know that I have plans to become a leader in the black community and they’ll never accept me having a white wife
She: Oh, I see. I’m glad you told me that. I wish I could be black, but I can’t be. if that’s how you see your future, then I guess you don’t see me as part of that future.
Barack: Yes, that’s the way it is.
She: I’m glad we got that out in the open – can you take me home now?
Barack: Does that mean no sex tonight?
She: Yes – please take me home and I’ll think about what you said to me tonight
I’m pretty sure the following happened to me in real life, but it may well have been from TV or a movie – the human memory isn’t as reliable as we want to think, but I’m sure it has happened as much as Barack Obama’s story is true… it goes like this:
Black man: Hello cute thing!
White woman: Hey there!
Black Man: Are you a racist?
White woman: Certainly not!
Black man: I don’t believe that. You’re white after all.
White Woman: No really, I’m not
Black man: There is one way to prove that – have sex with me – if you have sex with me, then I’ll believe you aren’t a racist.
White Woman: I’m not having sex with you, but it’s not because you’re black – it’s because I don’t have sex with guys I barely know
Black Man: See, I knew you were a racist
White Woman: No honest! At times I wish I was a black woman, but I’m not. I am what I am, but it’s not an excuse for not having sex with you
[….]
And so it goes – the brainwashing is so thorough that women feel a need to deny their own racial identity, otheriwise it’s just a matter of time until we turn into Nazi Germany!
