Horowitz: Obama ‘Would Never Be President if He Weren’t Black’
Far-right activist David Horowitz has been out promoting his new book, Radicals: Portraits of a Destructive Passion, and told conservative talk show host Steve Deace yesterday that President Obama, much like professor Cornel West, is taken seriously simply because he is black. During an incoherent rant, Horowitz asserted that Obama “would never be president if he weren’t black” as no one with the same “curious background and radicalism would ever have been nominated, let alone elected president if he weren’t black.” “Part of the racism of our society is if you’re black you can get away with murder,” Horowitz concludes.

Maybe. Anything is possible.

But I think the much greater part of racism in our country is privileged white fuckwidgets who say shit like "Part of the racism of our society is if you’re black you can get away with murder."
