I wonder, when B.O. was coming up, who gave him the most sh** about being a "half-breed? White's or blacks?

And, how come being half black makes you black? Is it that, in order to be white, one must be "pure?" :roll:

There are so many, subliminal, racial factors surronding this presidency, who can keep up?

Actually from the newscasts I saw it was whites giving him **** for being a "half-breed". Besides half-breed is a derogatory term and I would appreciate if you not use it anymore. Now what you just said sounded rather bigoted.
 
You are correct. By definition only white males with a job or on retirement can be a racist.

Strawman. That's not even close to what I said. I said people have been throwing the two terms around without even having a clue what they mean and how they don't fit. It seems you've already made your conclusion based on your personal feelings about the man and not about reality.
 
Bobo is not secretly a racist. I would opine that he is and always has been openly a racist.

Bobo can be understood by looking at his make up: Envy, hate and revenge.

And you would know this all too well what with your lovely open mind and affection for Muslims in the U.S.? I am of course referring to your posting of the so called "Freedom of Speech in the "new" muslim USA". I wonder, what bothers you more, Muslims living in the U.S. or an African American President? You know what:
This is ****ed up ..........
I agree, it is ****ed that so many people are either not honest enough about their prejudices, or ignorant to them.

Well, first and foremost, all due respect, but I could give 2 shi** what you find to be derogatory or not and I would appreciate you not suggesting what I should or should not say. So I guess that puts us at a stalemate. I used the term to make a point. A point you seemed to pick up on. Go cry somewhere else skippy.

That being said, moving on, that was my point exactly. I am certain it was the whites that gave Obama the most crap and if he has some inner racial scars over it I can totally understand. If he is apprehensive of white people, given our nature, and given his predicament, what's not to understand?

You didn't make a point. Otherwise you wouldn't have needed to use that derogatory term. That's like if I was to use the N-word and claim I was excused because I was making it a point. And yet he isn't the one being apprehensive. He's tried reaching across the aisle on multiple occasions to a party whose leaders consist primarily of white men. Obama isn't the one with the problem its the talking heads on TV like Beck and Pat Robertson who are making the bigoted, incendiary racist remarks

Did the quotation mark around the "word" in question not give you a clue skippy?

Take your politically correct whining and go hug some tree with it. You will turn blue in the face before you will convince anyone here, (of logical capability,) that I am the type person you allege.

You should know who you are talking about before you start making your opinionated allegations, short-timer. Or do you take your ques from the President?

Words on a screen leave a lot to the imagination. There are no voice tones, facial expressions or other tools we use in face-to-face communicating. Therefore, we use "quote marks" or italics or some other method when we are stepping off the path, to make a point, using sarcasm, or many other cybor-tools at our disposal (ie: smileys, etc.)

But since your new here, I'm gonna give you a pass. But you should know what and who your talking about before you go blowing out your piehole Jr.

I agree. What's your point?

I agree. Except you forgot to mention Limbaugh, Houlter, Hannity, O'reilly. Again, what's your point son?

Putting it in quotes doesn't make it any less offensive it would be the same as if I talked about Oreilly being a "mick" and put it in quotes. No less offensive. Actually tree hugging had more to do with environmentalism than being pc, try not to conflate the two separate forms of activism.

Yeah because he just sends out notices to everyone on how to talk.

I understand that but still you could have made your point without using a slang derogatory term.

Limbaugh isn't on TV that's why I didn't include him. Beck and Robertson have been pretty recent and should be fresh on everyone's minds. Coulter is just an idiot I don't think we should even give her mention or else everyone will have to shower afterwards. Hannity I haven't seen be so much a racist but the dropout buffoon he comes across as

You said "N-word!" (<---- notice the quotes? :mrgreen:)

You RACIST you! :rofl
 
No, but maybe you are. If you see someone extending their hand in effort to halt racism (whether it backfired or not) as racist, than maybe you are secretly racist. No, you're probably just really paranoid.



Please refrain from attacking other members of DP
 
It's so many shades of gray to figure out what feelings he truly has that I have nearly come to the conclusion that I no longer give a damn.

Everyone knows that Obama took the side of the black prof. from Cambridge and condemned the police without even having the facts so my question begs to be asked:

Read you own poll results. Your anti Obama side is out of touch with most Americans by almost a 3 to 1 margin.

This is not a scientific pole and can be cheated on. Why don't you look at Obama's real approval numbers and get back to us.
 
Except for those that want socialism, the entire nation is beginning to see Bobo for the dangerous fool he is.

I've seen this word thrown around so freely that most people don't even seem to know what it means. Also communism and fascism are thrown around as if they were interchangeable. There is no push towards socialism and never has been in this country.

Actually I never said the Nword. There's a difference between that and the actual word. Besides I didn't call you a racist I said the word you used was bigoted

True that.

There are those that advocate socialism but what Bobo and crew are trying to bring forth is an American version of fascism, not, repeat, NOT Communism or socialism. Fascism.

So you went from socialism to fascism. Make up your mind. So how is what Obama is doing fascism?
 
It seems to be all prominent blacks think about these days. Racism is a business that makes money, so it must be kept alive. Just ask Jackson and Sharpton.

Funny I was thinking pretty much the same thing while listening to the Rev Sharpton going on about the Gates issue without one mention on how it is a police relations problem with the entire public and not just a single race issue.

Still I can not blame him for attempting to continue to make money as we all need an income.
 
Everyone knows that Obama took the side of the black prof. from Cambridge and condemned the police without even having the facts so my question begs to be asked:

Which part are we voting on? That he's a racist or that it's a secret?
 
Talking points? How about the last band of thieves who made a disaster of things? As for you counting Czars did you lose count under Dubya? He had many more Czars and most of the Czars under Obama have dual roles and have been confirmed by the senate.

The chickens did come home to roost. The CIA has a term for it, its called blowback and a lot of it we experienced during the last administration in follow up to Reagan's foreign policies.

Did I have to be in support of the previous thieves to not be supporting the current ones? :2razz:

Really why does it happen so often, I mean that any time anyone seems to have any issues with what is happening now that it is somehow twisted by going backward to show some sort of shame or something through claims one must have supported the previous group completely.

It just is not so, period.

Do I prefer GWB's way of sticking to his guns over BHO's continued flip flopping... well sure, and I also understood the reasoning (the more real ones not the popular ones lol) behind the "war" and its accompanying expense much better than the current plans and their expense that are many, many times the amount, but still that does not make me a supporter of either "band of thieves" and I actually had as many if not more issues against the previous group than things I supported them on.

Still the fact that I am not a 100% GWB supporter without question still should not affect anyone accepting the genuine honesty of my questioning or distrust of what the current administration is up to.

The reason I went into such detail in a thread with RACIST in the title is that I am tired of anyone who is not in full support of stripping the remaining wealth from our middle or working class being labeled a racist.

Just because someone is not supporting the total redistribution of the previous redistribution(s) of the past of the wealth of the working class to both the top and lowest ends does not mean they are a friggin racist.

Actually I am finding the resistance to this current redistribution attempt to be a clear sign that racism is truly becoming "classism" as those who are out there working for what they have seem to be harboring some serious bigotry towards those who are both taking it from them (the politicians of all parties) and receiving it (those who are not willing to work for what they have, and also those who are at the top skimming from everyone and funding the costs of lobbying to make the many changes that took us to where we are today "screwed").

So maybe much of the remaining so called racism in our country is not as some would think, and is more about class than it is about color or ones nationality.
 
You are correct. By definition only white males with a job or on retirement can be a racist.

Interesting comment.

Would seem completely true if you buy into the BS fed to us by the politically correct and drive by media.

Problem is that the majority of people seem to believe that the BS is the problem, and fully understand what racism truly is.

Still why do we continue to accept this continued attack on our freedoms, and allow ourselves to be stifled? I wish I had the answer, but I think it has something to do with being too busy working and that is something that the convenient relationship between the very top and very bottom seems to avoid totally.

What I want to ask is when will you middle class white guys wake the frig up? :doh:2wave:
 
Which part are we voting on? That he's a racist or that it's a secret?

Interesting point there Jerry :cool:

It was almost like he was just defending a friend with who had shared similar thoughts, beliefs, and ways and just spoke from the heart or his true beliefs without thinking it through first.

I do not fault anyone for being honest (especially in the politics game) but if anyone in a position of authority with the power to actually solve or even just help the underlying problems of how the police interact with the public etc has their vision clouded by predetermined prejudice or notions then it would seem a waste of very good potential.
