Your statement speaks for itself. First of all, my comments are meant to keep you aware of the fact that while you "pretend" to overlook the fact that Obama IS Black, the racial references to his being Islamic instead of American, with the continuous reference to his middle name, that if he isn't Islamic, he's certainly a "communist" and if he isn't a commie, he HAS to be a Socialist, right?
Teeny, I am going to try to reason with you. First of all, I do not pretend to overlook the fact that Obama is black, you miss the point altogether, what I am saying is that blackness should have nothing to do with whether the man is qualified for the office, nor should it have anything to do with his character or policital views. It should be based upon character and his personal beliefs.
Quote:As far as the 3 virtually "black" people you mentioned, as in the head of the republican party, Ms. Rice and Justice Thomas, they are 3 "certified" PAID "OREOS"! Black on the outside, WHITE on the inside. If you haven't lived as a Black person for the last 200 years, you don't have a "clue"! 3 known "SELLOUTS" of the African-American Community, while prominent in all things politics, irrelevant in the Black Community. They are in the spotlight, only to justify a "white" world, they would LOVE to immerse themselves in.
Wow, what a crock, teeny. This is where you are going wrong. Even Bill Cosby got into trouble for saying black kids should study. Are you of the philosophy that studying, working, staying married, being responsible, believing in individual rights, responsibilities, etc., that is too white? Listen teeny, you are not going to convince me that Jessie Jackson and his definition of blackness also includes being a Democrat, a socialist, a big government that says you can't do diddly without the government helping the blacks. Teeny, you seem to be confirming that blackness is somehow intertwined with politics, with being a liberal Democrat, so you accuse Thomas and other conservative black people of being "oreos." That is not only repugnant, it is just plain stupid, teeny.
Quote:What do I mean? They HATE the fact, they were unfortunately born into the Black race. They hate Blacks more than Whites hate Blacks. I don't mean ALL whites. They are in the minority. I'm talking whites, who parade as legislators, tv personalities and talk radio broadcasters because they feel an entitlement, artificially created in the 18th century, to justify slavery and to perpetuate a sense of superiority against ANYONE not like them. Remember the "macaca" reference to a hispanic-American that was native-born, but the Virginian making the reference, was too ignorant to realize just how diverse this country was/is. You tell me!
Total and absolute nonsense. Where do you get that nonsense. I take you as a more intelligent person than that. Did your parents or friends poison you with that? You do not need to live forever with the mistaken idea that blackness and being proud of it includes the idea that government and the white man owes you a living, owes you a handout, and all the rest of the crap. Grow up, teeny. The race baiters like Jessie Jackson want to keep the black race on the plantation so that the white man can feed them and take care of them as long as their lousy political party can run the plantation. The surprise for the party this last election was that the using of Obama for their ends, it backfired on them and Obama rose up and beat their own, the high and mighty Hillary. I was glad to see her lose by the way.
Quote:ke you want to totally ignore the fact that "race" drives politics in every facet of American life. Do any of you remember the "skinheads" that paraded through Skokie, IL, to rile up the Jews living there? Else why is there such an anti everything in referece to the 1st Black President? Obama wants bi-partisanship in Washington. Instead, he gets negative everything from the ultra-conservative, far right wing of Republicans and so-called "Blue Dog" Democrats, whatever they are. Just let a Black person give their opinion on anything and like this group, you want to "ignore", deny and repudiate anyone for driving the "race" card, as you call it.
As long as I'm in this group, I won't let you forget it! As smart as they appear to be, Bill and Hillary Clinton are as "racists" as the right wing they deplore. Clinton balanced the budget, off the backs of poor whites and blacks, a group HE came from, changing welfare as WE know it and while some Blacks still drool over Bill and Hillary, they showed their TRUE colors, during the race for the presidency. They are LOST to progressives whites and Blacks like me, forever! So go on, call me whatever you like. You know I know what time it is, so ignore history. You're doomed to repeat it!
Teeny, you show some ability to reason, but if you will ever get yourself off the plantation and stop thinking that the government owes you something because of the sins you refuse to stop holding on to, then you might see the light. People like Justice Thomas and Michael Steele, and other conservative blacks are very proud of being black, but more than that - they are very proud of having character without regards to color, and they are convinced that they are good and worthy individuals as good as any other person in this country that can succeed based upon their own hard work and character, not because they think the government or the white people owe them something.
My advice to you, teeny, is to get over your color and concentrate on your own character. It sounds to me like you have succeeded, and hopefully you attribute it to your own character and hard work, not because somebody owed you something. This "oreo" accusation of fellow citizens is a total and absolute disgrace.
