Ben Stein: Obama Is ‘The Most Racist President There Has Ever Been In America’

Conservative pundit Ben Stein, author of How to Really Ruin Your Financial Life and Portfolio, made the jaw dropping accusation on Sunday that President Obama is the most racist president ever.

With Republicans, if you are black and bring up your race then you’re the racist.

On Fox News’ “America’s News HQ,” Stein claimed that it’s Democrats and the White House that have tried to make this election about race.

Noticeably absent in his allegation was the racist tea party rhetoric we’ve all grown so accustomed to since 2010 — the California mayor who sent out e-mail he sent depicting the White House lawn planted with watermelons — the tea party images depicting Obama as an African witchdoctor — and the casual use of the N word.

But never mind all that because according to Stein, it’s Obama’s fault because he’s a scary black man who had the audacity to cautiously mention his race.

“What the White House is trying to do is racialize all politics and especially trying to tell the Africa-American voter that the GOP is against letting them have a chance at a good life in this economy, and that’s just a complete lie,” Stein said. “I watch with fascination ? with incredible fascination ? all the stories about how the Democratic politicians, especially Hillary, are trying to whip up the African-American vote and say, ?Oh the Republicans have policies against black people in terms of the economy.’ But there are no such policies.”

“It’s all a way to racialize voting in this country,” Stein remarked. “This president is the most racist president there has ever been in America. He is purposely trying to use race to divide Americans.”

It’s not the gutting of the Civil Rights Act by Conservative justices sitting on the Supreme Court, or voter suppression efforts which bring us back to the Jim Crow-era: It’s Obama.
