MSNBC has yet again played the race card to demonize not even criticism, butmerely unsympathetic portrayal, of Barack Obama as racist after an AP writer waslambasted for accurately transcribing Obama’s Black Caucus speech.
During his speech, Obama attempted to fool theblack audience into thinking he was one of them and not a paid teleprompterreader for Wall Street by dropping the g’s at the end of his words.
“Take off your bedroom slippers. Put on your marching shoes,” Obama lectured the audience. “Shake it off. Stop complainin’. Stop grumblin’. Stop cryin’. We are going to press on. We have work to do.”
However, after the Associated Press accurately transcribed Obama’s dropped g’s, MSNBC aired a debate segment asking whether thedecision not to “clean up” Obama’s words was “racist”.
“On MSNBC, the African-American author KarenHunter complained the news service transcribed Obama’s speech without cleaningit up as other outlets did–specifically including the “dropped g’s,” reportsYahoo News.
“Hunter called the AP’s version “inherentlyracist,” sparring with New Republic contributing editor and noted linguisticsexpert John McWhorter, who argued the g-less version “is actually the correctone,” noting that the president’s victory in the 2008 election was due, in part,to how effortlessly “he can switch into that [black] dialect.”
It goes without saying that Hunter’s claim iscompletely ridiculous. Obama’s dropping of his g’s was blatantly deliberate. Ifthe AP had “cleaned up” his speech it would have been completely misleading andinaccurate.
Hunter claimed the AP transcriber didn’t “fix”Obama’s grammar because of the color of his skin, while failing to mention thefact that transcripts of George W. Bush’s speeches were routinely transcribed(accurately) by including dropped g’s and other idiosyncratic styles of speech.She then ventured further into the realms of absurdity, claiming the AP writerwas using a secret “code” through which to express his racism.
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
“Normally, I lean toward the clean-it-up school ofquote transcribing—for everyone,” AP transcriber Mark Smith told Mediaite. “Butin this case, the President appeared to be making such a point of dropping Gs,and doing so in a rhythmic fashion, that for me to insert them would run clearlycounter to his meaning. I believe I was respecting his intent in this. Certainlydisrespect was the last thing I intended.”
It’s not the first time Hunter has used herplatform at MSNBC to imply a failure to observe complete obedience to Obama isracist. Two years ago, shesaid that people who “disrespected” Obama by being critical of his mandatoryhealth care plan were racist.
As we have documented on numerous occasions, theestablishment likes to play the race card in characterizing any criticism, oreven any portrayal that could be considered unsympathetic, of Obama as racist.MSNBC has proven itself adept at this dirty trick.
Duringan appearance on MSNBC’s The Last Word recently, talkinghead Richard Wolffe mused that Republican opposition to Obama making a speech ona date that clashed with a presidential debate was down to “the color of hisskin�.
Back during the Obama Joker poster era, whendepictions of the President as the fictional character out of Batman were deemed racist by the establishment media despite identical images beingproduced of Bush as the Joker for years before, MSNBChost Carlos Watson insinuated that calling Obama a “socialist� to criticizehis big government agenda was secret code for a racist slur.
Of course, the ultimate irony of all this isObama’s attempt to come across as a working class black man by dropping lettersas the end of his words. In reality, Obama’s background is about as ‘blackworking class’ as the Queen of England. He enjoyeda predominantly white, privileged, middle class upbringingand had none ofthe hardships of the black working man he tries so desperately to impersonate ina bid to re-connect with black voters whoare abandoning Obama in droves.
