Pat Boone asks Obama to empathize with Dylann Roof as he echoes Charleston gunmans racist fearsPat Boone is sick of racism at least, hes sick of people pointing it out.
The conservative commentator and one-time teen idol complained that President Barack Obama pointed out the racial element in every highly publicized killing of an unarmed black person by a white police officer or vigilante, reported Right Wing Watch.
Mr. President! For Gods sake, and Americas sake, quit so often calling crimes that involve a black person racist! said Boone, who was best known for his sanitized versions of rock songs by black artists in the 1950s, in a column posted online by World Net Daily.
Boone said he was deeply disappointed that Obama, the nations first black president, continued to discuss racial issues.
As the president who came to office, a black man promising to bring people together, a man ideally suited for that job since you were born both black and white, you had a God-given chance to actually proclaim and demonstrate that racial divides and prejudice had greatly diminished and that our society was truly becoming colorblind, the former pop singer complained.

See? Problems always go away if you don't talk about them!
By the way, all these tumors on my body, tiredness, and weight loss? As long as nobody suggests I have 'cancer', I should be fine!

(31,241 posts)sentiments with their silence. They can't "rock the boat" when it comes to issues of race. I would have had much more respect for Tim Scott had he lead the charge to take down the flag, and followed it up with calls for sensible gun control, but as a black Republican he can't, because that would make his white supporters feel uncomfortable.
There seems to be a growing movement in the country to declare racism over. "Colorblind" is one of those cute useless words with absolutely no substantive meaning at all.
Pat Boone isn't the only white man who would like to never to have to deal with this issue, but at least he's honest about it. Racist f**k.
