Rupert Murdoch suggests Obama isn’t ‘real black president’

Murdoch does not share a heritage with Black people who were brought to America to serve as plantation slaves but Obama will forever share that heritage, so when Murdoch say these racially filled words he is talking about Blacks globally and he is doing it in a way that signal “talking down to black folks”.

Murdoch was praising Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson and his wife on Twitter on Wednesday evening when he wrote: “Ben and Candy Carson terrific”. Rupert Murdoch, who founded the News Corp. media empire that includes Fox News Channel, apologized on Thursday for a Twitter message suggesting that President Barack Obama isn’t a “real black president”.

What will make a man like Murdoch suggest that President Obama is not a “real black president”?

Take the time he tried to explain the pain that black Americans felt when a jury acquitted George Zimmerman of murdering Trayvon Martin.

This led readers to a recent piece by Jennifer Senior at New York magazine: “The Paradox of the First Black President”.

Fox News’ Greg Jarrett asked if Obama was “stoking racial tension”. He also acknowledged the obvious about President Obama.

And why shouldn’t a white president bear just as much responsibility for addressing this national issue?

“I did note that Mr. Murdoch tweeted an apology this morning”.

“Apologies!” he tweeted. “No offence meant. No offense meant. Personally find both men charming”.

“I say kudos to Rep. McCarthy for putting others before himself”, the retired neurosurgeon said on CNN’s “Wolf”.

The gun rights fanatic who believes Black Lives Matter is divisive and Obamacare is evil speaks their language.

Meanwhile, blacks – even a few conservative blacks – who once revered Carson are scratching their heads, wondering if the icon who served as a role model to countless young people fell and bumped his.

The candidate did not change his response: “I can simply say that I’ll take him at his word”.

“There’s more unemployment, more poverty”, Carson charged, “and I believe that’s what he was really referring to”. I think there are so many more important issues to deal with.

“Well, he’s the president and he’s black”, Carson said.

According to Murdoch, the media “underestimates” Carson, and the soft-spoken doctor may be closer to front-runner Donald Trump than anyone realizes.
