Well...in is video he did not confirm that. He said he had twin sons with a White woman. Anyhoo, I say do you and if you can pull it, then you can have it. I've been there, done that, got the T shirt and the coffee mug.

<quoted text>I wonder about you. For a minute you had me believing you are one of intelligence, yet I detect something altogether different.
We know color shouldn't be an issue. However keep it real. Whites are not voting for him because of the reasons Blacks are.I should say many whites or Blacks.
You speak about some of my arguments being immature, and I could sit up here and try to find all the large words one could not understand,and sugar coat the way I feel, but why should I. I am quite capable of conducting an intelligent conversation, however that gets old, when there has not been much intelligence shown on these posts. So get off my back brotha.
Also, I have always been told that Dr. King was shot in the neck. You are the first person that has ever said the chest. Are you certain of this?
FYI, often times the wheel that makes the noise gets the attention. Problem many Black folk have is they believe they must convience a white person of whats right and wrong. don't have to, don't need to. They are quite aware, and if you want to believe that you typing words of intelligence is the way to win them over then go for it. It works for you. But never get it confused that I am not capable of speaking in an intelligent manner.

No need to wonder. I'm pushing buttons myself because some of these arguments can get very boring and tedious. I've only checked out these blogs for about a week now, and I guess I will move on. Too much hate to waste life units on.
I heard a description of the MLK shooting on the 40 year anniversary and they said the bullet hit him in the heart, killing him almost instantaneously. I don't have any other facts to back it up, so sorry if I am wrong.
Take care

<quoted text>damn, you and I are on the same page. I asked him just about the same thing. But I bet you this guy has white very close to him, if he isn't. Somewhere he has some white dealings.

I don't care if he's Blasian. Be who you are on Topix. Hell its free speech. You can be disagreed with. I don't change my name within the same post to try to set people up., to be liars. If you do, thats insecurity on your part, so why would I take political talking points from insecure people changing their screen names.

I most rightfully don't care. My views are my views. I'm not here to convert, thats why I am not infiltrating any forums that make any reference to McCain in the title.

I am here to talk with people who share my experiences and if you don't share the majority of the experiences of the people who are Topix dealing with their candidate of choice...you get what you give.

Who cares??
Besides, Obama would be considered the first black president because he's had to face the same issues as one of full black decent would have to (I.E. racism).

With you presuming that you are a Sister. Let's just say this. He could be orange polka dot plaid and it would be better than voting for the DUMMY that stole his first election and the Clone that is following him.

I could give a rat's A what color he is he is a whole lot smater than that sack of hammers we have now.

Thank God there are people that know that only White men are not the only one with the ability to lead us

Obama is bi-racial, end of story. I really wish white people would recognize that the "one drop rule" is ignorant and racist and I really wish black people would realize biracial people do not want to be"claimed" like we are some piece of crap on the side of the road that needs to be helped,labeled,claimed or anything else...we (biracial people) can stand on our own,as our own racial group. And no, biracial people do NOT face the same racism that blacks face...we get racism from whites AND blacks...remeber, we were part of slavery too...except we had to serve our own fathers and siblings! Give me the fields instead of that anyday...but I digress,
The point is, when you have one black parent and one white parent you are biracial. Thats all there really is to it.

You are absolutely right. And my religious beliefs tell me that when the bible says "thou shalt not kill" then Im not going to kill.

NO MATTER your color we all bleed RED. NO ONE picks their parents...Obama and some others have made this all about color...I don't like him because of so many other reasons...NOT HIS COLOR.

<quoted text>the fact that this Black man, calls himself Black and another Black man, wants to call him something other than that is whats scary. Again, I must say once this man is out of the limelight, he is and will become really Black. You need to recognize.

OK. so we'll settle it here and now. Doesn't matter what your parents are. YOu can claim any race you want to. So the white boys that wear their pants below their butt and listen to rap music blasting in their ears, and talk like they're in the ghetto. They are really black. and all the white people who go to tanning booths, get dark, and then convince you that's their "natural" color. Yeah. They're black too. Then again, we have the black people who's great-great-great-great grandmother had hair that was so long, you could sit on it, and she was 100% Indian. and they will tell you how they are not black they are Indian. So, of course because they say they're Indian, they are. Let's not forget all the black people in New York, who learned to speak Spanish, and now they identify as "blatino." Of course they are..because they said it. What was I thinking. And, of course we ALL know that when you cross a lion with a tiger, you get a perfect little lion, because the lion's genes are dominant over the tigers.

I don't think that when black people talk to other black people, that they talk about his being part-white. I think what they talk about more is that, with him not being an actual descendant of black slaves, even the part of him that's black isn't REAL black.

If you're a black person, tell me if I'm right.

It really amazes me how many people are not able to grow.Mean Eugene should be called Narrow Minded Ned!!!Yes we are all Americans,but guess what....None of us came from here, unless your a mentally deprived Indian.Why don't you go back to where ever you came from if you don't like the diversity that America offers. Might not hurt to go through a little history lesson on how this great place was born and on what principals it was built.Obviously you don't have a clue.If you did you would have never written such an illiterate comment.

I love this comment. So true!!!! Even if I am white as a sheet, my whole neighborhood is a mixture of black,white and bi-racial people. I like them all for who they are. I feel the same about Obama..I like him for what he stands for. His brain,his heart and his intelligence

[Hello]

This article represents you:

"Enemies from within are destroying the United States of America. An unholy coalition of anti-White, anti-Christian liberals, socialists, feminists, homosexuals, jews [sic] and militant blacks have managed to seize control of our government and mass media. This gang of criminals and degenerates has declared war on the hard working, tax paying, White citizens … The American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan plan to change things for the better. We shall liberate our nation from these savage criminals and restore law and order to America."

I'm not sure what the difference is between "real" black, and "fake" black.

Oh! I get it. so if you are not descended from slaves, you are not "real black". Im learning a lot from this forum.
