Obama wins over notre dame

Wow, just wow??????? Hell, yeah I disagree with their politics...but that is not what makes them Uncle Toms. The fact that they failed to hold the Bush administration accountable, in all things, but especially things which impacted blacks and persons of color, negatively, specifically, and could continue being "mouthpieces" for the administration, is what makes them Uncle Toms.
I know it might be hard for you to understand, but the notion or the concept of "selling one down the river", still resonates within the black community. They simply forgot where they came from...and that is a big "no-no".

Could you do me a favor please? At the top of this forum is a link labeled "user CP". Click on that link, select "edit your details", scroll down to the bottom where it says "political leaning", and change it to something without the word "liberal". You are making me embarrassed to have the same leaning as you.

That's Ok Redress. We all have some crazies in our camp.
 
Kinda funny since if anyone is an "Uncle Tom" (or an "Oreo" for that matter) it would be Obama...


Obama is a privelaged white kid whose black half simply gave him skin tone. His life has been run by whites. His background is a white. His lifestyle is basically as a white. His education is as a white. The black half ran out on him when he was a kid.
Barring skin tone Obama for all practical purposes is a privileged white who has nothing in common with most blacks beyond outer skin color/hair type.


I think its safe to say the person who made the comment voted for Obama..I think its safe to say they voted for Obama based on the visual color of his skin.
They voted for what they call an Uncle Tom.

Please talk about what you know...not what you think you know.
All that you have said, is patently untrue, and speculation on your part.
You are not versed sufficiently to comment "intelligently" on his past or his makeup.
And you presume way too much. I voted for Obama, because he was the Democratic candidate, me being a staunch, proud Democrat. And liberal to boot.
 
You know, some things just become "given", after a while. He (Obama) is the freshest breath of air, in 8 whole years...but some folks are loathe to admit it, and some never will. I can accept that, with trepidation. However what they must admit is that the country, as a whole, approves of whatever it is he is doing, by wide margins (say 60-70%)...and one can argue all day about the rightness or the wrongness of it all, but the fact remains.
I'm hot, behind Gov. Rick Perry, continuing to discuss the remote possibility of Texas seceding the Union. He needs to be in a mental institution. And has the hopes of being in the running for 2012.....talk about the visible impotency in the presence of Sarah Palin, in a GOP conference, some months back. We had one P-whipped president...we hardly need a repeat.
Not to digress, but Kay Bailey Hutchinson, loon that she is, will beat him 'handily" in the next governor's race...if a Democrat doesn't appear to be the spoiler.


Someone please tell Jallman, that we hardly need an Uncle Tom in the Oval Office....speaking of Colin Powell or Condi Rice. Blacks in white-face, is all they are, although Colin Powell's mea culpa is promising and hopeful, that even Republicans can "see the light".





well if that's not a racist bigoted comment. :roll:
 
This thread should not be in Breaking News. It should be in Breaking Wind.

Before you start calling African Americans "Uncle Toms" you would be advised to read Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, so you at least have some familiarity with the character.
 
Nothing you said changes the fact that you call them uncle toms because their politics are different than yours. So shallow for one who thinks he's so knowledgeable.

I am knowledgeable. In many fields of endeavor. I'm the worst kind of N-word.
An intelligent, thinking one. Sorry to disappoint.
And you're, of course, entitled to your opinion, as it is.
 
Obama is no uncle tom either.

In terms of how its defined and how it is used in the real world to defame people..yeah he is.


The use I am referring to-

Uncle Tom

Uncle Tom is a term used by black people to try to convince other black people that working, education, living well, and setting a good example for their children is selling out.
Urban Dictionary: Uncle Tom

Apply that to the more PC definition you'll find in the more "mainstream" Dictionaries-

1 : a black who is overeager to win the approval of whites (as by obsequious behavior or uncritical acceptance of white values and goals)
2 : a member of a low-status group who is overly subservient to or cooperative with authority <the worst floor managers and supervisors by far are women…Some of them are regular Uncle Toms — Jane Fonda>
Uncle Tom - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

Use a dash of common sense and life experience in the USA and Obama is the commonly held view of what an Uncle Tom is.

I would like to bump this one more time so that it goes on the record that the first use of the "n-word" reference was by AS himself, further proving that intelligent discourse is being traded for histrionics, hysterics, and application of victimhood status with more alacrity and glee than we have ever seen before here at DP.

Heh, that is exactly what I was thinking when I noticed that reference.

Dammit, we got to stop agreeing on stuff...quick, let's talk stimulus package or torture...

Haven't seen much out of you I would label as intelligent. To me, the worst kind of "N-word" is the same as the worst kind of "W-word". That is, someone who won't take care of their family, won't work, and expects others to pick up the tab and clean up their messes. Are you one of those?

I can see your point but I find the applications of the two definitions to be a little distasteful despite the ring of truth it has to it.

Uh...no. I'm embarrassed by the tolerance of racists here. And all I see are folks coming to their defense. Nary a word of caution. Suspect, if you ask me.
I suggest that you, sir, are no liberal. Perhaps you should change your leaning to libertarian, or something. As they told me....suck it up.

The only racial slurs I've seen bandied about in this thread were by you. :shrug:

I've only seen one racist around here of late, and it's none of the people you claim it is.

kinda ironic the poster who is calling black folks "uncle toms" is accusing others of being "racists"....

Read it in high grammar school. I understand the concept, perfectly.
Colin Powell, Condie Rice and Michael Steele, among others, are Uncle Toms. And I didn't stutter. Problem?

Read it again. This time with your eyes open.

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Saying Redress is not a liberal has about as much credibility as suggesting that I am a liberal.

I'll give him a lot of guff for a lot of things, but he is who and what he says he is. Period. End of Sentence. End of Discussion.
 
Moderator's Warning:
Notice the topic folks? No one seems to be paying attention to it. So, here's the deal. Y'all need to get back on topic, pronto. No more personal attacks, no more accusations of racism, no more assessments of someone else's political affiliation, no more of any of the personal crap that I am seeing. If you do not comply, I will assist you by giving you some consequences to remind you.

And yes, this thread is real close to becoming Basement material. The person who sends it over the edge will get points to remember the incident by.

Thank you for you attention. No more problems, please.
