(KTUL) — A statement by U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) about President Obama is being called “racist” from Virginia’s NAACP State Conference.

Coburn stated, “His (President Obama) intent isn’t to destroy. It’s to create dependency because it worked so well for him. As an African American male, coming through the progress of everything he experienced, he got tremendous benefit through a lot of these programs. So he believes in them.”

The Virginia State Conference calls the comments racist. They say that, “People like Coburn attempt to create the myth that only African (Black) people receive food stamps or other forms of public assistance. White women do as well along with Wall Street, the banks, the auto industry, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, and many others that live on the public dole to the tune of trillions of dollars over time.”

“Coburn implies that the President benefited from this dependency on the government. White males have been the beneficiaries of the greatest affirmative action program in U.S. history. Yet, the face of government programs is the African welfare queen and now the President himself. This kind of racist propaganda is perpetuated through those with a platform to tell their lies to the people. The comments of Senator Tom Coburn are unconscionable, unfathomable and unacceptable. They should be condemned by all, especially those in the Republican Party. The Virginia State Conference NAACP condemns these remarks that are racist to the core!”
