Right. Let me know more of this fairy tale land where racism no longer exists. LOL

You do realize that many of the people from the Jim Crow era are still alive, right?

Interesting. Projecting I implied racism no longer existed, and that "many of the people" from the Jim Crow era are still alive.

Considering I've been factually pointing out racism most certainly exists, as displayed by those racist bigots who see legitimate disagreement of the Presidents policies as being racist itself, I'm curious how you could make such a claim?

And then there is the "many of the people" comment, which implies the majority of people who supported Jim Crow laws up until 1964 are still alive, and still hold those racial segregationist beliefs. That would be some remarkably powerful and healthy 70-100 year old people

On the other hand, I have been commenting about the uninformed, so there may be an explanation for all that, that I should consider.

I was using "many" in its most used form - to mean a large number of. And there are. If you consider someone born in 1950 - that would only make them 64 (ie. a young politician).

And the only racism I've seen you acknowledge is racism against whites.

No, "many people" would imply there are more than a few number of people. "Many of the people" implies most are still living and still harbor the same beliefs they held 1/2 century ago. That's laughable.

The only racism I've seen is yours against whites, so why wouldn't I comment on those racist views? However, didn't you suggest I claimed no racism exists? Now you're writing I am admitting racism exists but just not including enough races?

You're illustrating quite handily the level of information present among those I referred to in previous posts.

What point are you trying to make? Just come out and say it instead of dancing around it.

That racism exists, and it's mostly against white people?

LOL

I'm guessing for some, it must be hard to let go of racial bias and actually comprehend what has been written.

If you think I'm dancing around something, I'm not sure further explanation will be any better at getting around the projection that is clouding your mind.

I'm asking you to just say it. Ready, set, go:

"Argument goes here".

Bet you're itching to see if I'll meet your bigoted stereotype.

Sorry Mr. Quixote, you're going to have to invent some other evil doers to exercise the racial prejudice you believe in. I'm not your guy.

Personally, I think racism exposes the simple minds of terribly disturbed simple minded people. It doesn't matter what race they are, or from what side of the ideological spectrum.

I also believe some of the greatest racists in the United States pray on those simple minds. That is evil in my book.

I guess we agree on something.
 
Mornin' CPW. :2wave:
Good thing Republicans aren't classified as a race......huh?

The GOP's base is old White males.

That's a shrinking demographic.
 
Neither. Our race relations have always been pretty ****ty in this country.
 
I promise that almost all of the problems have absolutely nothing to do with the color of his skin. But has a president ever been so disrespected since day 1 (since before day one actually)? It also doesn't remove me from society and from where I work, where I have personally heard people call him the n-word and personally heard them say they'd hang him, etc.

Can you not admit that there is a decent portion of the population that is still harboring racism - and that includes people in Congress?

Yes, every President by the opposing party. The only difference is everybody in the country can see it with social media and the 24/7 news cycle.

President Obama's blatant race-baiting pander to Hispanics has come at the expense of Black African Americans.

It was his choice to do so, which he did, more recently in his Obamnesty EO, for the sole sake of pandering to Hispanics in Florida in the hope of capturing Florida for the Democrat candidate for President in 2016 especially if Jeb Bush is the Republican candidate.

When more than 25% of all illegal aliens are NOT Hispanic, yet Obama only presents his Obamnesty details in a White House web page titled "President Obama and The Hispanic Community", he is clearly, blatantly, and egregiously race-baiting.

He knows that the jobs millions of illegal aliens take should they get Obamnesty will be significantly those jobs that Black African Americans have, undercutting them with plummeting wage scales.

But he does so anyway, pitting this race against that race, all for his political agenda.

This is simply the most recent example where Obama has pitted one race against another.

Obama singles out people by race and then gives them special treatment over other races.

That is simply wrong, and it has contributed to racial violence where poverty enclaves of Hispanics and Blacks overlap.

How is that even possible when "Hispanic" is not a race?
 
I believe he's helped.

When he was first elected, I know some folks (black and white) that speculated he would be assassinated before his inauguration.

As his term expires, they will have the shared experience of having a President of "their own" that had his ups and downs like any other.

He's been Presiding while black, is that help or hindrance? It certainly seems to have offended the more rancid right.

Shrinking demographics and shrinking numbers that affiliate with both parties.

Obama is a mixed race guy educated in Hawaii in a middle class setting. How could he have ever related to "Jamal in da hood"? Joe Biden said it best. "He's a clean cut guy".:lamo
 
Yes. He's clearly inflamed race relations. It's because he is so uppity....errrr.... 'arrogant'!

He's about as bad as Medgar Evers. That guy really hurt race relations in the South. It was all going so well before that.
