[Update:<\/strong> On Martin Luther King Day, Fox Nation decided to move this racially provocative article to the top of their web page with some curious modifications. See below.]<\/em><\/p>\n

The race-baiters at Fox Nation have extracted a single sentence from an extensive (over 16,600 words) article in the New Yorker<\/a> about President Obama. The obvious intent of this journalistic malpractice is to deliberately convey the false impression that Obama is playing both the victim and the race card.<\/p>\n

Now, if this was all that Obama said, he would be unarguably correct. There is no end to the proof of racial animus that has been directed at our nation’s first African-American president. Many of his bigoted opponents barely disguise their racist tendencies. So Obama could not be faulted for observing something that is so indisputably true.<\/p>\n

However, as you might already have guessed, that is not all that Obama said. Here is the full quote from the New Yorker’s article:<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s no doubt that there\u2019s some folks who just really dislike me because they don\u2019t like the idea of a black President,\u201d Obama said. \u201cNow, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I\u2019m a black President.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So does that sound like a victim or a realist? The New Yorker went on to note the evidence of broad based biases that are reflected in the national character.<\/p>\n

“Obama lost among white voters in 2012 by a margin greater than any victor in American history. The popular opposition to the Administration comes largely from older whites who feel threatened, underemployed, overlooked, and disdained in a globalized economy and in an increasingly diverse country. Obama\u2019s drop in the polls in 2013 was especially grave among white voters.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nevertheless, they quote Obama defending his critics and warning that their reservations about him should be judged on their merit, not on historical prejudices.<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s important for progressives not to dismiss out of hand arguments against my Presidency or the Democratic Party or Bill Clinton or anybody just because there\u2019s some overlap between those criticisms and the criticisms that traditionally were directed against those who were trying to bring about greater equality for African-Americans.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite the exceedingly tolerant tone of Obama’s words, the Fox Nationalists knew that their out of context fragment would inflame their audience. And that was their purpose. As evident in the comments on the Fox Nation website, the response was predominately negative and critical of Obama whom they accused of being a thin-skinned, racially motivated, whiner. So…mission accomplished Fox. You successfully riled up a rabble of dimwitted racists just as you hoped. Not that that’s a particularly difficult achievement given the substandard confederacy of dunces that you cultivate.<\/p>\n

[Update}<\/strong> Not satisfied with ordinary, everyday race-baiting, the Fox Nationalists chose to take this bigotry-inciting article and boost it to the top of their web page. And notice the modifications they made to make sure none of their cognitively-challenged readers would miss the point: They colored Obama’s name and the word’s “I’m Black”<\/em> a bright commie red. And they underlined the words “Don’t Like Me,”<\/em> So happy MLK Day, from Fox News.<\/p>\n
