Discriminations

Robinson is probably correct that some people will take race and/or the perception that "they" won't let him get elected as a reason for not voting for Barack. But I'd be surprised if many of the "they" accusers vote anyway. He forgot to mention that there will be quite a few people who will vote for him because he is black. I'm white and I honestly can say that he was on my short-list of people I would like to see more of until he started addressing his vague plans for racial equalization.

Black isn't a problem for me. Having Hussein as a middle name isn't a problem for me. Being a Democrat isn't a problem for me. So why won't I vote for Barack? He plans to create equality through economics and has unrealistic ideas about an Iraq pullout for starters. Apparently he also has a vision of America that will come to fruition the day he is inaugurated that he hasn't shared with the American public yet and given his vague answers to questions so far he probably won't.

I'm white, and I won't vote for Obama because I can think of almost nothing that he supports that i do.

Give me JC Watts, Michael Steele, or Condi Rice and I'll be glad to consider/enthusiaticly cast my vote for one of them.

How is it that Barack is "black" rather than "white"? He has one black parent and one white parent and was primarily raised by his white mother and white grandparents. I'd have to say by objective standards he is more white than black.

How would the African National Congress (ANC) classify him under their standards?

By the way, why is Tiger Woods always claimed to be "black" and not "asian"? Doesn't his mother count?

Eddy - have you heard of the US 1 drop rule - 1 drop of Black Afrikan blood makes you a Black Afrikan?

Freeman,

You have to understand. Many of these conservatives want to "whitewash" America's satanic history regarding hypodescent and miscegenation laws. They don't want the WHOLE truth to come out.

Bad public relations.

Freeman -- While I was aware of that past standard, I didn't realize contemporary blacks still endorsed that rule. I suppose you like that rule because it's beneficial for affirmative action purposes.

Cobra -- you've lowered your standards to invoke "satanic" imagery. It comes across as an implicit admission of an inability to make any meaningful argument.

If you insist on claiming that the current disabilities of blacks are somehow traced to events several hundred years ago, why not offer some proof of "disability transfer"? Find a YouTube video showing the intergenerational transfer of the "legacy of slavery". Offer proof of any culture's transmission of disability to their great-great-great-grandchildren. The Chinese, Jews, Irish, -- pick anyone!

If black disability is somehow transferred intergenerationally from parent to child by mysterious processes, one would presume that black children with two parents would receive twice the disability than the child with only one parent. Yet aren't the disabilities claimed to be associated with the "legacy of slavery" stronger with single parent children? How could that be?

Black failure is overwhelmingly a self-inflicted injury. Blaming "whitey" serves as merely a convenient excuse. If you insist on claiming contemporary blacks are somehow hobbled by Civil War era treatment, feel free to offer something in the way of proof other than wild self-serving imaginative conjecture.

P.S. Freeman -- sorry I didn't take the opportunity to demonstrate sexism against women.

"They don't want the WHOLE truth to come out."

For someone who supports the same racist practices that he claims America hides (snort), Cobra sure seems upset.

Isn't it a shame that Cobra and Freeman are the face of black America on this website? Is there anyone who can argue the interests of the black community without threats, racial hatred and revenge being the central theme?

Is there anyone representing the black community who can state that racism, race hatred, racial discrimination and so on is just wrong, without arguing "except for when blacks do it"?

Mikem - Just for clarity - Supporters of Anti-Affirmative Action like the Ku Klux Klan define Affirmative Action programs as racist & sexist against the US' most dominant social group White European-American Males.
I don't define Affirmative Action as racist or sexist - I define it as justified moral solutions to give Women & People of Color an opportunity based upon population measures to receive education & contracts because they are & were discriminated against because of sexism against Women & racism against People of Color because the US is a sexist & racist nation against Women & People of Color

Once again, Freeman, you are lying.

Black gangs outnumber white gangs by a factor of 10-1.

So, you owe me for the depradations of black gangsters.

Pay up.

So the ? is why do people go to Church? Isn't it supposed to be based upon morality? Isn't the Supreme Being concerned about all of humanity & all of human history? So why would 1 who attends an organization that claims to seek morality yet refuses to apply the lessons of morality to 1's personal life, affairs & beliefs? Did not the Supreme Being create all of humanity?
If the US clearly & explicitly taught its mythology that "this is a White European-American Male supremacy system", then people could not complain that the system is un= to Women because of sexism & People of Color because of racism.
But the US is hypocritical because its legal documents & mythology teach that all people are = in the eyes of the law - but that is not the case.
