AGREED!

FAKE AGREEMENT!

LOL! It's ludicrous to think that someone with the screen name "Non-Obamian-American " is an open-minded person.

Now it's POSSIBLE - but highly unlikely, in my opinion. Moreover, there are parts of the USA, where white people consider it an insult to be corrected or supervised or even assisted (in terms of charity) by a black person.

It interferes with the ideology of white supremacy.

No, it doesn't - and normally I don't take that approach EXCEPT when *first approached* with sarcasm, sneers or insults.
The person I replied to (she, I think) has launched an extensive campaign of slander, villification and hatred against Obama for WEEKS, if not months. I've kept an eye on her posts for quite some time.
This is rabid Goebbels-style propaganda, disinformation and hatred she's been spreading. So, no, I don't feel charitable towards her because I'm confident of a complete absence of good will on her part.
An open-minded or civil person is someone with whom I'd use an entirely different tone because I'd see him/her as one whose mind could be changed after an exchange of views.

I, for one am not convinced by the "WHOLESALE-MARKETING " campaign of B.H. Obama as a valid, choice for OUR potential President. Does your offer of civility and good-will extend to people like myself or only to those who've not already decided?

Mr.Harrison, do you believe that the long ago pirate slave traders could have even taken those strong black folk captive? I dont think so, our brothers were sold into slavery by our tribal chiefs for possibly some beads & shiny things.
A pityful sitaution at that time, tho we must let go & set examples for our youth. Stop gangs, mama should have husband, husband should have a job, kids should be shown good examples. This is true for whities & latins too.Lets all work together, no mo blaming, lets just do it.

Are eggheads those people with education? If so I agree! But you left out the group of people that are tired of the haters. Not all uneducated people are stupid. Some have not had the opportunity to receive a university education. It's SO expensive. Obama would like to change that.

Who would foot the bill for university education, the overburdened tax payer?? whats wrong with working your way thru school? I know some bros & sisters that did just that. You would appreciate education more, if you worked for it. Not just expect a free ride !

Start by cleaning up the gettos you all created, straighten out you youth, I could go on, but I know that nothing would change with obama at the helm, but our working middle class folks would become much poorer....

Another example of White Ignorance (or non-black ignorance) self-righteously parading itself on a national stage.

If you were educated in sociology or political science, you wouldn't have said "...cleaning up the ghettoes that you all created..." because the "ghetto" as we know it is something created by WHITE FOLKS.

The term "ghetto" originally comes from Europe with an emphasis on Eastern Europe, especially Poland. That is where the Nazis herded all Jews they could find into segregated urban neighborhoods where they awaited deportation and extermination during the 1940s. Those horrible neighborhoods were called "ghettoes."

And, no, the Jews did not create them EITHER. They were forced into them.

Slavery and slave-trading aren't issues in the Obama campaign so far as I've heard. Now if you've DRAGGED them into a discussion yourself, that's a little different, right??

You're really R-E-A-C-H-I-N-G Harrisson.

How about the Obamanation address his own democRat Party's legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, lynching, etc?
Only politically inept, history illiterate, trinket promised fools fall for Obama...because they stand for nothing. Just like Obama's inability to stand up and remove himself and his family from the presence of a two-bit preacher butt spewing an entire congregation with anti-American hate...for 20 years. And on top of that the jerk has an issue wearing an American Flag? Despicable.

Not from someone who spews insinuations out of his/her ass about blacks having created the ghettoes they live in. LOL! That just tells me that we're dealing with one more uneducated American who knows little to nothing about American history or African-American history....

but THINKS she knows a lot after listening to a Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity broadcast. Sorry, that ain't gonna cut it.

Gonna have to hit the books to know what the hell you're talking about.

I'm trying to set the record straight and explain to ignorant people (you may be one) that the ghetto is not something that black folks created because they thought it would be a fun place to live.

I'm trying to explain to ignorant people where the word itself COMES from. That it stands for discrimination and segregation that is a centuries-old tradition in Western life - from Europe of the 1600s up to Nazi-occupied Poland in the 1940s, and on up to modern Chicago and D.C. today.

If I've made a mistake, please feel free to correct me.

Maybe people who disagree with you are not quite as ingnorant as you think they are.

European ghetto's were imposed on the people living in them.

But blacks in 21st Century America are free to live where ever the want.

LOL! Are you really naive or dumb enough to believe the last sentence of your quote???

I'm giving you one last chance to think it over and not prove yourself clueless beyond belief.
