In my discussions with my parents and others of their generation, the main problem they had was not the ability to prosper. There problem was not receiving the same justice, access to capital and allowed to enjoy the fruits of their labor. When a black community was successful they were undermined by the white establishment. Examples are destruction of property, unfair zoning practices and construction of freeways through the community. The main purpose of the civil rights movement was to have a level playing field.

And yes, I have the same anger toward Black racists as well. There actions and rhetoric are just as, and in some cases more, destructive to the Black community. They deflect our failures away from ourselves and try to pin them on others. This stifles self improvement and encourages the victim mentality.

Barak Hussain Obama’s momma is white, his dad was not an American but Kenyan.

So, would Obama only get 20 acres and half-a-mule?

Since a mule is half horse and half ass, he took the later and not a very proud one at that.

TheSitRep on February 24, 2008 at 7:08 AM

I know all of this (my father is Kenyan Luo too; BTW you spelled ‘Hussein’ incorrectly). There are plenty of black Americans with Arabic given/adopted name. (Ahmad Rashad ring a bell?) You haven’t said anything that makes him not African American, as it were.

What do non-sentient animals have to do with the subject?

Alinsky was a critic of a passive and ineffective mainstream liberalism. In Rules for Radicals, he argued that the most effective means are whatever will achieve the desired ends, and that an intermediate end for radicals should be democracy because of its relative ease to work within to achieve other ends of social justice.

Don’t forget, his main role model in community organization efforts was Saul Alinsky, who I believe also may have been influential in Hillary’s early molding process. They do have that in common.

Same old, same old…soaring rhetoric, blame whitey diatribes, America can’t do it without us, the white man stole our ancient knowledge…I could go on but you have heard it all before.

What?

It must be Saturday night.

What you have here is a bunch of black bigots. Hate has always been colorblind. Fortunately, so is love.

On a different topic: Barrack bin Laden is still 100% socialist drivel….

This is divisive and revealing. The fact that Bubba Redneck feels comfortable expressing it indicates how pervasive his retrograde thinking is. More importantly, attacking a potential U.S. President as equal to one of our worst enemies is despicable.

I don’t condone the lefty-attacks on my President as a war criminal. I also reject any such attacks on a potential POTUS.

If I wasn’t clear Bubba, your language is problematic. You represent the old, dead, branches of a once great party. But I don’t worry, because the right roots run deep and a new crop of clear-thinking conservatives is emerging.

You’re low hanging fruit. Pluck. Chomp. (Spit out the seeds.) You’re done.

1. Careful son, calling language

problematic

starts you down a slippery slope towards censorship. Before you know it you’ll be having people in re-education camps, rather like the North Vietnamese did to the South Vietnamese after 1975. As a voter I will address any candidate for any of this nation’s elected offices by any name I see fit; it is called freedom of speech. If the Left can refer to President’s Regean, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. as Hitler clones I can fire back at their candidates. Last I checked, Hitler was no friend of the United States. As Mr. Obama’s views are socialistic and I find socialism to be an enemy of freedom and this nation and all of Western civilization, well why not have a little fun with Mr. Barrack Hussien Obama. Also, if he does become President and remove our troops from Iraq then that will play into Osama’s hands. On the plus side though, his wife will be proud of America.
2. “This is divisive and revealing.” What, that blacks can be bigots? That blacks can hate? Bigotry has, and will always be, colorblind; anyone can be a bigot.
3. Do not read into my post that I am calling Barrack a bigot. I am not as there is no evidence I have seen of him being one. The original post dealt with him not attending the event. Good for the Socialist. He is still 100% socialist drivel.
3.

I believe this all stems from the immense guilt that Americans collectively feel about our racist history.

Guilt!?! Dude, speak for yourself! I have zero guilt! This country has dealt with racism out in the open since its founding and have more times than not sided with the “All men are created equal” side. Have we been perfect, no, but then humans aren’t. If you have guilt over slavery than free a slave…….wait, all done.

Whatever. I’m off to catch some WPT.

Just stating the obvious. I apologize if objective observation my blatant bias makes you uncomfortable.

Heh. That’s going to make you dizzy.

Ah, flipping better than good J Kerry — I give that one a 7.4 for effort…

Bradky on February 24, 2008 at 12:15 AM

Yet dislike for one black person gives you the moral superiority to condemn any other black person for having genuine interest in fixing the problems of the community… how very noble of you…

Just stating the obvious. I apologize if objective observation makes you uncomfortable. AntiSemitism tends to send mixed messages about the actual goal.

Considering the GOP is predominantly white does this qualify as an abomination?

you do realize this was the 2006 meeting. Cosby and Williams had not published their books yet. Yet dislike for one black person gives you the moral superiority to condemn any other black person for having genuine interest in fixing the problems of the community… how very noble of you…

All black or all white conferences are an abomination. Enough!!

Jack and Coke anyone? They’re on the house.

Bradky on February 23, 2008 at 11:11 PM

I could be wrong but I have seen little similarity between the Cosby/Williams combo and Louis Farrakhan. Appealing to the black community to pool efforts so black kids can get a decent education, compete in the job market, and have a constructive social fabric, is light years removed from the hate and victimhood that race hustlers like Farrakahn and Jesse Jackson push. Talk about yer soft bigotry of low expectations, it doesn’t come any more pure. Real life dictates these kids have to compete in the job market. Give them the tools and they will be fine. Keep reminding them that they are owed because they’re black, and the cycle repeats. All black or all white conferences are an abomination. Enough!!

no, he gets nothing, because HE’S NOT AFRICAN-AMERICAN. he has none of that history in his ancestry AT ALL. it just goes to show… (fill in the rest yourselves).

Michelle Obama provided an insight into the black psyche when she wrote her thesis ….

volsense on February 23, 2008 at 11:44 AM

So Michelle Obama speaks for all blacks? Hmm

As long as there is a State of the Black Union, we will never achieve true racial equality in this country. MLK would be ashamed of his fellow blacks who support this divisive, racist event, and so am I.

fourstringfuror on February 23, 2008 at 4:04 PM

Out of the mouths of babes…
You might be interested to know that in the recent book by Bill Cosby and Juan Williams they both appeal to blacks to collectively pull together in order to help the community.

Yet when a group of blacks get together in that spirit there are some who feel threatened by it. You are one of that group.

Must be It is a miserable life, trolling sites, living my life vicariously on the internet.. desperately wishing people would take a twenty something shut-in seriously . . .

grow up junior.

He absolutely wanted skin color to be an issue, but he longed for the day when it no longer needed to be talked about.

Nonfactor on February 23, 2008 at 5:49 PM

Muslims feel the same way about Islam/submission.
One cannot create unity from within the realms of division. First, remove the division (skin colour), then resolve the real issues.

(The catering is better, too.)

Harness those flapping jaws and a few houses could have been rehabbed with all the wasted energy.

They need to exploit their real opportunities not complain about the imperfections of the world.

They could have been born in Kenya, and been burned to death last month in their local African church by their black neighbors.

Or born a Hutu or a Tutsi, and gotten slaughtered en masse a decade ago by their rampaging black neighbors.

This fixation on skin color as a determinant of behavior is asinine.

Get to work, and stop yer whining.

Content of character, not melanin count is the point.

Yes.
