Or Al Sharpton (does Tawana Brawley ring a bell?) And what national office were either of them elected to?
Makes no difference whether or not someone is running for a national office; all are public figures or in the public eye. David Duke fyi was a former State Representative in Louisiana.
As long as you want to. You brought David Duke into this. We can play tit for tat all day long if you keep this up - or until I have to go back to work - whichever comes first.
What? Tit for tat? You turned someone asking for any one into someone elected for national office. You moved the goalposts. A lot.
exactly...I used to get upset when people called me a homophobe and a racist online..now it's like "YAWN, what else ya got?"
but how do you know which is which? if the possibility exists that you were let in based on your skin color how do you know if you got in based on something else? How can you honestly know if you 'won' if your opposition is forbidden to run?
You mean...if he cannot get into a school without relying on skin color.... The old Liberal pretense....Using race to get ahead is only OK when a leftist special voting block does it. Why does the left never, ever consider the possibility that it is both possible and preferable to get ahead on merit, skill and hard work?
Hey !! Over here, buddy. Pay attention. I said no one has played the race card more than Mr. Obama. I stand by that. By virtue of his position as POTUS, his use of it is more highly egregious and insidious than Sharpton and Jesse Jackson ever could achieve.
Failed deflection on your part. David Duke came and went long ago and has nothing to do with this. We're talking about NOW.
I see alot of Libs have short memories,no one remembers this during the campaign in 2008? Obama on Wednesday told a gymnasium full of people in Springfield, Mo., that McCain and President Bush will resort to scare tactics to maintain their hold on the White House because they have little else to offer voters. "Nobody thinks that Bush and McCain have a real answer to the challenges we face. So what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me," Obama said. "You know, 'He's not patriotic enough, he's got a funny name,' you know, 'He doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.'"
Seriously,what a crock of (*)(*)(*)(*).How long are you all going to beat that tired old rug?There are black and hispanic Tea Party groups nationwide,and guess what?They are growing and more and more are popping up because true Patriots come in all colors and we are sick of the Lefts Marxist garbage ruining our country and bankrupting it.But you all are too ignorant to admit the Tea Party is racist.Actually,ignorant is one word,more like DESPERATE to paint the Tea Party and Conservatives as racist because that is all you all have.And its all lies and demagoguery garbage.Look how many times the MSM was BUSTED trying to make Rick Perry look racist.And how much did that help your cause?Now Perry is ahead of Obama in Rasmussen polls 44% to 41%. Did all that race baiting by the MSM help Obama?No it didnt,so the race card crap is FAILING MISERABLY.
Gee thanks. I just said what many of you Conservative/Repub/**********s think. Actually it sounds like sour grapes too me, another white dude who didn't get a job and it had to be because of AA. So they hired her because she had a degree, not because of AA. So and the problem would be what? Is there anywhere that says she couldn't? All I am hearing basically is blah, blah, blah, blah. Funny that you didn't have these views until a black man hit the WH. How many white presidents and wives have enjoyed this lavish lifestyle at our expense. Did folks just become homeless, hungry and unemployed when Pres. Obama hit the WH? No, we have had these problems for decades and now all the problems in America are the fault of one little black man. Pathetic.
I don't believe that I implied you did. No, you need to do that. What you implied is that problems continue because black folks are pissed about slavery. Sometimes it does come from both sides, but one side has definitely been on the receiving end more than the other. True. Please lets not post unjust trials, because I could post a catalog of unjust trials. I keep hearing that one, but it amazes me that we haven't heard from one person that went there and felt intimidated and did not vote. Now shall I go through the history of black folks beind denied the right to vote. Yea you said, but so what it really doesn't prove anything.
OK. We get it. Blacks have had a hard time. But there is a Black president now, an MLK statue too. Don't act the eternal victim. Great men, such as MLK, didn't whine, they advanced by focusing on a greater dream made of the better character of all people. I never hear from Whites who feel victimized about the hundreds of thousands of their brethren who gave their life for the freedom of the slaves in the Civil War. Why? Because of the larger nature of freedom. Your people were made free by the blood of White people. I see little respect given such sacrifice. How much more blood, sacrifice and treasure will it take to even get a nod of appreciation? I do not require an answer to that. I do not mean to disrespect the memory of those who died so Blacks could rise up to set new standards. Whites gave their life and blood willingly to a greater cause because it was the right thing to do. They set right the contradiction between freedom and slavery.
I agree with you that its the blacks that continue to use 'race' via the baiting or the entitlement/reparation route that has kept societal relations in an uneasy state of flux. Calling the Tea Partiers a bunch of racists when all I ever see is a group of middle-aged concerned citizens fighting to end the gridlock that big government has on our livlihoods is at best counterproductive. But I have a differing view as to why race relations are at perhaps an all-time low. The problem in a nutshell is 'Multiculturalism'. That term itself screams out I won't assimilate into the American culture; that I will keep my old country language and my old country culture despite what you American traditionalists have to say on the matter. Multiculturalists also seek to revise and or distort of founders Constitution so as to create more modern day loopholes for their own multicultural/secular/socialist agendas to work. I know people don't like to hear this, but unforced segregation is the key to erasing this perpetual bad blood between the races or ethnicities. I grew up in a town just Northeast of Boston, Massachusetts in the 50s. We had a small segment of population called the French Village, another called Little Italy, the Chinese located over at Chinatown in Boston, also the Irish in "Southie" or South Boston, and the blacks resided in Roxbury. There was 'no' racism back in those days because everyone was content living among their own who they felt most comfortable with. Then came the advent of multiculturalism and the bussing desegregation in Boston in the early 1970s that has caused racial unrest which has led us to this dour time in America's bout with racial unrest.
I'm sorry show me where I made that assumption. Harvard is a college that is harder to be accepted to than lets say Georgia Perimeter College is it not. I am not saying that going to Harvard means you are smarter than everyone else, but please don't make it sound like going to Harvard is exactly like attending Augusta Technical College either.
you forgot that when a white person succeeds it's b/c 1. white privilege 2. good old boy network 3. discrimination 4. daddy
