Obama '08?

Many people pass it off as okay, and the theory has even been put forth that anyone belonging to a minority cannot qualify as being a racist, but the fallacy of that theory should be obviously flawed.

1) I'd love for you to find a single post from any individual suggesting this.
2) This is not a part of democratic or liberal politics. Therefore irrelevant.

You're not just talking out of both sides of your mouth, you're talking out of your a$$. The theory is obviously flawed, but it just your strawman to frame Obama supporters in a negative way without ever having to identify a single person who subscribes to such a theory.

You need to look the word racist and racism up in any dictionary. Racism is one group in the MAJORITY, (whites), denying the rights of another group, in the minority, (blacks and others)! Whites have done it since we stepped on the Virginia shore in 1619.

By the way, I think the pictures show Clarence Thomas to have alot blacker skin than Obama

You may think this comment is cute or even funny and put in the smiley face, i take it as overtly offensive every bit as much as a KKK noose or burning cross and WAY over the edge. I am however, curious as to the origination of this thought. Is it from your mind or some other source?

I already answered this once, but after reading it again, comparing my comment to a KKK noose or burning cross, I will admit to being offended. You know what, dys, I have something to say to you. GET LOST. You are a pathetic member of A2K. Get lost and stay lost.

So I have just given you 2 examples of people saying that minorities cant be racist.

Thanks for the reply MM. You found two people who don't satisfy either of my criteria though. Those people aren't posting here on A2K to defend their ideas, and I don't need to defend their ideas. Those ideas additionally are not a part of the Democratic or liberal world view. Okie's point remains just straw.

If it's not clear, I agree with Okie that this theory is flawed. We diverge though when he wrongfully tries to associate this theory with...

Obama
Democrats at large

Certainly the theory has been put forth. It really hasn't gathered any momentum with any group.

the biggest differist between my posts and yours is that I welcome yours as being another opinion .........

No, it is quite pertinent, it is a theory I have heard for years, put forth by many people, where have you been Diest?

It has gathered alot of momentum, and in fact I think is a commonly held view by many black leaders or political figures. And that is precisely why some will say that people in the majority are disqualified from criticizing someone like Jeremiah Wright, and in fact if you do, you are the racist, not Wright. And this may even include blacks who criticize Wright. This is how ridiculous this has all become, and so far out of whack this is now.

interesting.... I don't necessarily agree with all of it.... but interesting.

No word specifically on Edwards, but 8% unsure.

More interesting is watching the republican polls. I'm not sure McCain is going to do so hot in the general.

Last Tuesday, Huckabee still gets 23%.
Today, McCain gets 33% followed close by 29% by of all people Guiliani.

"The Republican strategy of trying to link Mr. Childers to more liberal national Democratic figures fell short, as it did in Louisiana. Indeed, voters here were bombarded by advertisements equating Mr. Childers with Senator Barack Obama, a tactic intended to turn conservative whites away from Mr. Childers and which some politicians said played on white racial resentments… In the end, tying the white Democrat to the black presidential candidate may have helped Mr. Childers more than it hurt him, as campaign aides reported heavy black turnout, heavier than in a vote three weeks ago when he came within 400 votes of winning."

POLL: 29% OF DEMS WANT HILLARY TO RUN AS INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE... DEVELOPING...

I don't see it going anywhere. Hillary isn't an independent kind of candidate.

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. - Hours after being routed by Hillary Rodham Clinton in West Virginia, Barack Obama picked up two more superdelegates, offering fresh recognition from Democratic leaders of his inevitable nomination.
