Are All Black Americans Racist?

[Yukon.]

Americans both white and Negro really do love each other. They always have. Americans welcomed the Negro to their homeland - gave them work, a place to live, the Bible. They simply forgot that the Negro was not half ape and half man.

I think the LoneStar has to do with Texas...as you can see the logic does as well.

What?

Sounds like you're prejudice against Texans.

Since you can probably "Understand Obama" better than me, perhaps you can respond to an anomoly that puzzels me:

Many black leaders, MLK, Sharpton, Jackson, are also religious leaders. However, Barak Hussein seems to be able to avoid any religious alliance, yet still has widespread popularity among blacks.

How do you explain this?

You have made quite some assumptions.

Firstly, you ASSume he has "avoided any religious alliance." That's kinda loaded, it can mean a couple of things at least. Also it implies that one HAS to be "allied" to some religion to be in public office or to be POTUS. Then it implies that if that being the case Obama HASN'T "allied" with any.

None of which I feel are necessary in order to be a good President or to be a President in general. It's simply none of our business. As a Christian, I don't see anything that Obama has done or didn't do that was different to anything any of the previous Presidents has done in recent history in terms of spiritual matters. So its all bogus.

Do you major in minors Samson? Do you relish non-issues? Are you a mountain-of-molehills maker?

On the matter of Texas, its history speaks for itself, not to mention its current practices as far as blacks are concerned.

Black people are able to see Obama for who he is, a man under tremendous scrutiny, from even BEFORE he stepped foot in office. He was destined to be under attack, perhaps more so than any before him, simply for being who he is...the first black President. Let's face it...America still has a lot of "coming to grips" on the matter of race. That's the plain and simple truth. Obama has brought all the racists out of the closet and wood-work. We blacks are able to see him for what he's trying to do, which is help the country rise out of its quagmire that happened during Bush & Cheney's rule. He's simply trying to correct the mistakes. We blacks are more than willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I bet if you go to Texas you will find that a very high percentage of them STILL and always will feel very positive about Bush.

So I'm not sure what you're getting at. What were you getting at?

Quiet as its kept, there are plenty of us pale and sickly looking peeps out here who approve of what he's doing as well.
I'm very liberal, so I get a bit impatient, but I'm also interested in political science, so I know the reality of the "where" he works within.

This is true, and I don't nor will I ever deny this. I was simply answering Samson's question directly and addressing the black support of him. I believe in the black community, support is and always has been extraordinarily high. There is great support for Obama amongst liberals yes, but still not as high as in the black community.

I think its for many of the same reasons why Texans still love and support Bush, they simply identify with him. They love the fact that a Texan has made it to that stage of National and worldwide prominence. Plain and simple. I don't see why blacks can't have the same feelings about Obama and not be accused of racism. I mean...who have we been voting for all these decades, since whites allowed us to vote for POTUS in this country if not for white males?

Honestly, I didn't see it as arrogance. Like is attracted to like. I voted for a republican Mayor because he came from my neighborhood. Thought he'd understand and address the needs of that neighborhood because he was "one of our own."
Didn't work out that way, mind you. He moved to the swanky part of town the next day, and one of his first official acts was to ride a white horse (you just CAN'T make this shit up) to shut down the strip club he was a frequent visitor of. There's pictures (of him in the club), it's a fact.

 

[MarcATL]

Yeah...of course they did.

 

[MarcATL]

I blame my inability to get signed by the NFL on slavery.

See what this OAF is doing is not only diminishing racism today, but also diminishing slavery AND the lingering effects of it.

Great job. This is why the GOP has such a big problem with the black community...and other minority communities. They just. don't. get it.

 

[Lonestar_logic]

Blacks voted for Obama because he's black. Period!

Yeah...of course they did.

Guess you missed the Howard Stern video where they asked black supporters on how they felt about the issues, substituting McCain's platform for Obama's. Stern wasn't the only one to do this, I believe Hannity and others approached black Obama supporters the same way and got the same results. It shows that blacks support Obama not on the issues but on race. If you don't think blacks voted for Obama because of race then you are one stupid ****!

Wise up!

hasn't the premise of this thread been totally beaten to death by now?

 

[MarcATL]

Aren't you amongst the same set of people that get so upset when folks use vids from Jay Leno et al who show the average dumb American on the street as, well...dumb to bolster their claims that Americans are dumb?

LoL @ using a RW comedian such as Howard Stern to bolster your bogus already dug-in claims about blacks.

ROTFLMBAO!!!

 

[MarcATL]

hasn't the premise of this thread been totally beaten to death by now?

Firstly, what was the premise?

Secondly, what was the outcome?

As far as you're concerned that is.

 

[Ava]

How many of you feel that to be true?

Why/why not?

Expound....

No, not ALL of them. Just the angry and embittered ones who want power and control and reparations.

If 'like is attracted to like', how did Obama get elected? Because last time I checked, blacks were not a majority in the US. He got elected for a variety of reasons - one of which was his race. A lot of blacks voted for him on color. That's a fact. I don't actually criticize them for that - I think it's understandable. A lot of whites voted for him because he's black - and I don't criticize them for it either. Again, it's understandable - there is a debt by the majority to the minority in the US.... the majority owe minorities the same opportunities that the majority has traditionally had. I have no issue with that as a concept. My issue with Obama is his policies - not his color.

What really pisses me off is that we had an opportunity with his election - we had the chance to put race above politics.... which is something I fundamentally believe we need to do in order to get to that 'promised land' that MLK talked about.... Instead, it became an even bigger stick for the left to beat the right with. The use of the race card is getting totally out of control and I know a lot of black friends who are sick and tired of it.

 

[Trajan]

Blacks voted for Obama because he's black. Period!

Yeah...of course they did.

every black person I know and spoke to did, except one. Just my little world.

They all said the same thing- "I don't understand"...that what it came down to in the end. Okay doke.

Lets put that aside for a minute;

the sppt obama still enjoys among blacks, is hard for me to undetand, his sppt. has dropped accross every other demcographic bar none, yet, hes lost the least among blacks by a very noticeable and significant small statistic.

they have been very hard hit by the economic malaise we are in, much harder than some of the other demographics where his sppt. has eroded in fact ...yet, they still sppt. him at approx. 92%.


So, either one of 4 things is going on here;

1) his support has not eroded, as they don't care because hes black
2) his support has not eroded, as they don't care because hes a Democrat
3) his support has not eroded, as they don't care because hes Black and a Democrat
4) his support has not eroded, as they don't care because hes a Democratic and Black

If you have to inject race into a nonrace issue, YOU have the problem, not your opponent.
