What's the difference between these two statements?

[Freewill]

I think it is time we have a black man as President.

I think it is time we have a white man as President.

 

[California Girl]

Both are racist.

 

[Wry Catcher]

Both are racist.

You really don't understand.

 

[Cammmpbell]

I think it is time we have a black man as President.

I think it is time we have a white man as President.

 

[Moonglow]

Both statements are contradictory to a free society where race plays no part in the interaction and operation of the polis.

 

[California Girl]

Both are racist.

You really don't understand.

Yea, I do. I apply the same standard to everyone - regardless of race, color, creed or gender.

If one is racist, both are racist. It is you who doesn't 'understand'. No surprise.

 

[tjvh]

What's the difference? One sentence refers to George Washington, and the other refers to Bill Clinton.

 

[Freewill]

So if I am reading correctly then all the excitement about BO being the first black president was nothing more then racism?

 

[Cammmpbell]

Both are racist.

You really don't understand.

Yea, I do. I apply the same standard to everyone - regardless of race, color, creed or gender.

If one is racist, both are racist. It is you who doesn't 'understand'. No surprise.

Who gives a phiddler's phuck about some foolish strawman concept anyway?

Are you trying to say that if it is said that a person votes just because a person is black that is not received differently then if a person votes for a person just because they are white? Or is there a difference between voting for a black person then there is voting for the opponet of a black person who is white?

If I said I was voting for Romney because he was white I would get destroyed for being a racist, when people actually did say that about Obama it was looked upon as historical, and groundbreaking. Groundbreaking because those who accepted that sort of reverse prejudice set race relations back nearly a decade.

Do people, like birds and other animals, tend to flock with people that look and behave like they do? I think so. So for a black man to vote for a black man would, in my opinion, be similar to someone voting for a man because he is a democrat? In other words they are assuming the person holds the same morals or ideals as they do because they are black or a democrat?

I'm saying the OP has his/her head up their ass for even suggesting that rediculous concept. Even the red necked bastards in Mississippi and Alabama could have come up with better than that.

What was suggested in the OP?

 

[BBCAmerica]

I think it is time we have a black man as President.

I think it is time we have a white man as President.

To the GOP the first is racist the second is ok. The dens think the second is racist

 

[OODA_Loop]

So if I am reading correctly then all the excitement about BO being the first black president was nothing more then racism?

With his race as the primary identifier. Certainly.

 

[copsnrobbers]

If the Race talk continues the shits going to hit the fan.

 

[Freewill]

If the Race talk continues the shits going to hit the fan.

Can't ignore a problem and expect it to go away.

Negged by this Alabama redneck bastard.

I think it is time we have a black man as President.

I think it is time we have a white man as President.

Both are incredibly shallow and simplistic.

The PC Police would call the second one racist and try to destroy the person who said it.
