On the premiere of Saturday Night Live this past weekend, there was sketch where Obama visits the rest of the networks he "missed" on his media tour. In the sketch, seen below, SNL mocks Glenn Beck as an irrational, ignorant, and generally clueless extremist.
First off, let's admit it's hilarious. Yet the implication of it concerning political discourse and the mainstream media is disheartening. Beck is one of the only pundits with a large scale audience that voices unabashedly honest problems with racialism and modern liberalism. Is the guy somewhat of a wacko? Possibly, but the veracity of one's statements derive directly from those statements, not the authority of the individual making them.
By incessantly mocking right-wing zealots like Beck, the MSM dismisses his opinions and concerns without actively engaging with them. When Beck called Obama as a racist with a "deep-seated hatred for white people", the MSM responded by lambasting his character and pulling sponsorship. Yet, as members of the Steveosphere can attest to, such a claim is surely supported by a substantial amount of evidence. Further, associating Obama's policies or Obama himself with those of socialist regimes is often viewed as ideological rhetoric and fear-mongering. But, the parallels and the expedite manner in which Obama has accrued power over private industry make such a relationship rather convincing.
The MSM undermines these viewpoints not by actually opposing them logically, but by simply mocking and denigrating them as foolishness. Perhaps, such derision galvanizes those who hold these opinions. Such a situation drips with irony and surely isn't the intended goal of the people perpetrating such mockery.

The mainstream (skank) media has taken sides against HBD ideas. It is also obstinately and blindly pro-Obama.
In other words, the media is setting itself up to reap a whirlwind of backlash when reality proves the media abysmally wrong on a multitude of issues. A total crash in media credibility is not unlikely, if the revelations of media ineptitude and lack of honesty and integrity occur in close succession.
With all the rampant stupidity and hubris of this administration, you'd think SNL would spend the whole time mocking Obama, and not his critics. But they don't. Gee, why is that?
Leaving aside the question as to whether or not President Obama hates the diverse white American peoples, we can certainly inquire into other aspects of his mind & heart by examining the meaning of some of his remarks.
For example, his validation of "acting white" in 2004 revealed a profound insensitivity about the diversity among white Americans, and demonstrated a sense of supremacy on his part toward white Americans that gave rise to his implicit claim that he has the right to endorse the position that white Americans lack all diversity, and that young black Americans are right in such a characterization. "Acting white" is a supremacist slur against white Americans, not studious black students by other black students.
Another example was his 2008 reference to a "typical white person." People in American lose jobs when using that formula to describe Mexicans, blacks, Asians, etc. Yet Obama was given a pass on his observable commitment to a sense of supremacy which permitted him to consign all white Americans to a single model. I don't think this is hate, but making such a description definitely shows that he lacks sensitivity toward white Americans and that he claims the right to announce our lack of diversity to the nation which is nothing but ignorance combined with his sense of personal supremacy.
And, of course, his 2009 mixing into the Cambridge scandal with an announcement about the facts of an interaction between a black professor and a white law enforcement officer made it completely clear that he has a supremacy complex so profound that he is untroubled by discerning facts from no-facts.
Obama isn't hateful, he's just a supremacist.
