Stunning lack of diversity in Obama campaign, photos reveal

A photo of Obama’s “army” originally posted on the campaign’s Tumblr site and run in conjunction with a BuzzFeed story on the Obama campaign reveals a stunning lack of diversity among the president’s Chicago staff.

The Obama campaign’s Chicago headquarters has it all—from Jack Daniels and Ping Pong to bouncy balls and ironic desk mementos.

Yet the “army of twenty-somethings” campaign manager Jim Messina has assembled in the president’s hometown is almost uniformly white, according to photos contained in a detailed BuzzFeed report Monday.

Further examination of the Obama’s campaign’s Tumblr site over the past month reveals very few black individuals—apart from the president and his wife, Michelle—in the pictures posted in the feed.

One of the only featured pictures to include a black individual is one from a recent White House visit by Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols....

Is it Obama campaign headquarters or a general assembly Occupuke meeting? Who knows.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has come under fire from African-American groups in recent years alleging that the party organization has failed to award contracts to black-owned business despite repeated pledges to advance the interests such firms.

Duh. You buy that shit they're selling you? The dempukes know how you're going to vote, they don't need you anymore. Wake up.

While you're at it AA groups, go take a look at the membership in the building trades unions (carpenters, steel workers, plumbers, sheet metal, etc) and tell me what you see. Then compare that to the SEIU membership. Go smell the coffee.

But I'm the racist. :rolleyes times ten:

Obama's campaign clearly lacks proportional representation of the community. Since any other enterprise that showed a similar disparity would be deemed guilty of racial discrimination, somebody ought to bring this obvious injustice to the attention of the Attorney General. Maybe the Landmark Legal Foundation should file a brief on behalf of any African Americans who have been unfairly discriminated against by the Obama campaign.
