All this does not negate the fact that Obama and his campaign used his skin tone to falsely portray him as a member of a specific racial group in order to propel his political campaign to "historic".

Are you saying that Obama could have run his campaign as him being white?

I have a problem with this term. I have used it, and have been corrected on it.

If someone hates or discriminates someone that is of a different race, it isn't reverse racism, it is just place racism.

I think some people have coined the term "reverse racism" to mean something less.

Like if a black is a against a white it is coined "reverse racism" like it is something more honorable that a white against a black which is termed "racism".

The term is just a consolidation of ideas. If there is a better term I would like to hear it. But the two racist whites and racist blacks have a distinct different basis on the whole.

I think he is trying that he could not have. I could care less if he was black or white. I would have still voted for him.

Originally we had three races: caucasion, negroid, and Asiatic. The fact that we've managed to concoct all these "races" (mulatto, Arab, Jew (thanks Hitler), Latino, etc.) illustrates just how stupid the very concept of "race" really is.

Racism? I know that may be a shocker, but whether you are black or white and discriminate against another race, shouldn't that be racism?

Their are reasons to identify race because certain diseases affect certain races exclusively, eg sickle cell anemia. To do what Hitler did well there are also certain diseases that effect people of German origin exclusively as well. Every race has their cross to bear in this respect and no one is better than the other.

It is racism however one cuts it. But they distinctly based on different concepts.

This is the result of the closer ancestoral ties of those who historically shared a geographical region, not "race." The allusion to Hitler was for his invention of the "Jewish Race."

Really?

Then what is Obama historic for being?




Quite a feat to have never noticed such a thing being pushed in everyones face for 2 years.


...........

Did Obama really run on his skin color?
Click to expand...

Yes, it was a central part of his entire campaign theme.
.

Can you prove it?
Click to expand...

Its been covered for 2 years.


Do you really think black people are so stupid that they can be cowtowed by a politician into believing he's black when he's not?
Click to expand...

Nope. I think they expect to benefit from him and if he doesn't deliver to their satisfaction he will become an Uncle Tom, Oreo, or whatever catchy name they would call him. I don't believe most blacks even view him as black.


Are you trying to tell me that this is not a black man?

Try his mother.

I don't disagree on this, and frankly, I am sickened by this.

A white person being discriminated against by a minority shouldn't be placed in a category of "reverse racism" but racism.

To me the term "reverse racism" means the other minority discriminated against the white is somehow justified.

I know I have been "trained' to use the term "reverse racism' but when people point out to me I used it, I feel bad.

Personally I think it is a whole lot of history we have to deal with and the racism issue really stinks. People can never be right about it unless they say it smells like rotten eggs.

You're 100% correct.

You'll find the liberals here will always try to find a way to play the race card when you mention someones heritage that isn't caucasian.

Yes, so he has black and white in his skin color.

Much like a Puggle is both a Pug and a Beagle.
Click to expand...

No, his skin color is brown.

You can compare him to a mixed breed dog if you so choose.
 
EgoffTib said:
So he's brown. Most "black" people are actually brown. Your point is what, again?
Click to expand...

No, he's mulatto, his skin color is brown.

Please show the data to substantiate your claim that most black people are actually brown.

My point was in response to your misinformed assertion (quoted below) that he has black and white in his skin color.
