Slavery/Racism: Some Questions

[rightwinger]

There were a number who were, understandably, proud of Obama for the same reason you are, Faulty.


It will be interesting to see if he gets the same percent of the black vote this time, having proven to be an embarrassment to blacks, Democrats, Liberals, and everyone else.

Do you really think blacks are embarrassed by President Obama?

You are usually better than this blatant regurgitation of rightwing propaganda

Why don't you ask some of the folks on that list....

OK, I will...

Are any of you embarrassed by President Obama?

If you are, reply in this thread

I'm glad Obama won, because the first president my 5 year old grandson ever recognized and is able to name is a black man. You people have absolutely no clue what that means to the black community.

He will get an even larger number of black voters and the percentage will be 98%, once again. He will also get a larger percentage of Latino votes and get over 85% of their vote.

Some of us really don't care that he is half-white (not black), We don't choose presidents based upon the color of their skin nor choose to admire or not admire somebody based upon the melanin content in their skin.
It sounds as if you would think differently about him if he were an albino.

And some of us weren't raised as second class citizens

How Mr Obama's family, Salt Jones' family or your family raised their children is beyond my control.
You didn't address my point, but I addressed your pointless.

Looks like Dr. King's dream is nowhere near fruition. It keeps getting sabotaged by his fellow blacks.

I guess you didn't take to the color-bind society. "his fellow blacks"?

I was raised to crush anyone that stood in my way of achieving my goals and I raised my kids that way.

Set your goals, work for your goals, rely on yourself and don't let anyone tell you can't achieve what you set your mind to.

Your point is easy to make when you were raised in a society that allowed you to go to any school that you wanted, allowed you to stay at any hotel or eat at any restaurant. It is easy for you when you never were told that you were dirty or not worthy of socializing with the white upper class

Those who were raised in such an environment can rightfully be proud that someone of their race was elected President. For you to call them racist for being proud shows how callous you really are

Pu-leeeeeezze!
I don't know if I can stomach another of your "Look what an exceptional person I am" posts.

For the truth, see post #57.

I’ll bet you haven’t been this excited since your first Amway meeting.

I didn't call anybody racist, Please cease and desist from claiming that lie.

I wasn't allowed to attend any school I wanted to, I had to attend the public schools in my neighborhood. We were too poor to stay in hotels or eat at restaurants when I was growing up.

I was raised to work collaboratively with others to achieve my goals, not to crush them, yet at the same time, to rely upon myself. I raised my children the same way. so far, they are happy and successful.

No, it sounds like being raised by black liberal, lifelong NAACP, gun owning, segregated school attending descendants of slaves. I would never dishonor my parents or any of my ancestors by voting for a conservative.

P.S. I voted for Micheal Steele, but he's not conservative.

Fuck Dr. King's dream. How'd that work for him?

He's infinitely more respected than you are. He's secured a place in history.

You will live on in a Google cache only. You're one server farm power failure away from eternal anonymity.

Dr. King fought for civil rights for black Americans. You shit on his accomplishments.

And yet, with one broad brush you are able to brush aside three hundred years of racist history and berate someone who is proud that someone of their race was finally elected President

Barack Obama is "infinitely more respected than me. He's secured a place in history", does that make him great?

Nah, I have kids and grandkids. I will live until the end of time.

I shit on a false belief in a color-blind society, as does every single black civil rights activist who worked with Dr. King, Lowery, Abernathy, Shuttlesworth, Lewis, etc.
