Is is not known that the VAST majority of blacks do? There are far more black men who work and pay taxes vote and father children there are black men who do not. There are far more black people who contribute to our way of life than there blacks who do not. Do some people not realize this? Is it fair to lump in every positive black person in America to those who is not? No. Just as it is not fair to say that every white person is a serial killer, or a white collar criminal, or a neo-nazi. We tend to generalize in this country a little too much, forgetting that every race and every nationality have factions that are negative. You come up with a bad black guy and I an guarentee you I can come up with a white guy who has done much more wrong, so white folk should quit throwing stones in the glasshouse that is America.

Lieberman: I Won't Be McCain's VP

If you go thru the history of US, many a time has a PRESIDENT stood for the anthem and not put his hand over his heart. So... We are to conclude that white people are now expecting Barack Obama to go out of his way to LOOK patriotic, so he can be percieved as patriotic. Proof positive that blacks must do MORE to be seen as equal in this society, even when running for president. Please note that Hillary Clinton has NEVER been seen or photographed with a flag lapel pin. At the time Obama was getting the most flak about the lapel pin thing, he was in a pitched battle with Mrs. Clinton. Not once did ANYBODY, not the media, not anyone contributing to TOPIX mention it EXCEPT those who supported Obama. Still, this opinion will be ignored by those who feel that Obama must drape himself in red, white and blue to be as patriotic as someone who does not wear the flag at all.

Ecclestone: Hamilton isn't the best in F1.

Tell me about the day when Jaques V. EVER had to put up with racial taunts by Spanish fans. Tell me about the day when Jaques V. EVER had to put up with a teammate who conspired against him winning races and poles. Tell me about the day when Jaques V. EVER had to put up with people complaining that he did not deserve his ride due to his relationship with Frank Williams. Waiting... Waiting... Waiting... Stop this. You are talking about two totally DIFFERENT circumstances here. The compairisons are not valid, and I do not have to comment on JV. (Thursday Jul 17 | post #278)

Sam... Has any white guy who rails agains Affirmative Action actually looked at the stats? The largest working force in the US is?????? WHITE MALES! White males dominate those postions that actually HIRE people for positions in sector of the American working environment. Now don't tell me that you are one of those individuals who actually believes that white men do not discriminate. The vast majority of companies in the US are owned, run by, and regulated by, you guessed it - WHITE MALES. What most white males do not understand is that Affirmative Action actually was put in place not as a quota system, but mainly as a vehicle to promote the process of applicants actually being interviewed for jobs that were never even offered to them. Not just Blacks, but Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, and WHITE WOMEN. So when you rail against AA, reccognize that you are saying the same thing about White Women that you are saying about blacks and other races. You are not only sounding racist, you are also sounding SEXIST. The reason why is because you do not understand or cannot comprehend how widespread the practice of exclusion in the workplace has been. There have been just as many lawsuits made against companies on behalf of white women as there has been by other minorities due to favorable hiring practices by white males. Don't believe me? GOOGLE "Affirmative Action White Female" READ SOMETHING and make an INFORMED opinion. Don't reduce yourself to being just another ignorant, bitter white guy who does not either understand how America works, or does not care. You're one of the guys who give "WHITE MAN" a bad name.

2008 Presidential Election

Olbermann: Can McCain Be Trusted? McCain's Flip-Flops

On three seperate occasions in the last few weeks, McCain has refered to the Czech Republic as Czechoslovakia. True. He has confused Suni vs. Shite during a speech in ISRAEL. He has denied: That he said ecconomics was not his strong suit. That he favored being in Iraq for a hundred years. That stuff was caught on tape by the way. Now, McCain is for the course of action to end hostilities in IRAQ and divert forces to Afganistan - The SAME plan that Barack Obama has been endorcing for at least a half a year! That's right, Barack Obama was right not to vote for the war in Iraq, and now it seems that he was right on the REAL emphisis of our forces should have been concentrated in the place al Quida are ACTUALLY IN! Obama has been consistant and RIGHT McCain has been inconsistant and well... Less than so. Plus, he cannot differenciate the difference between the 1960's Green Bay Packers and the Pitsburgh Steelers of the 1070's. John McCain - Not good enough to be presiden in 2000 - Not good enough to be president NOW. (Thursday Jul 17 | post #329)

Team Obama rips New Yorker Mag for off-color caricatures

No, you don't. That is what you HOPE he is. That is what you WANT him to be, because you are afraid of a black man becoming president of the US, and you are looking for anything you can get to stop this movement. Your problem is the constitution. Get it changed before November. That is about the only way you are going to stop an Obama presidency. (Thursday Jul 17 | post #187)

Team Obama rips New Yorker Mag for off-color caricatures

What are you... clueless? On the one hand you have Karl Rove telling America that Barack Obama is a "country club" type. Hillary Clinton called Obama "elitist. " You are calling him a HOOD RAT! Just another instance where whites do not know how to color this guy, and because of it they are more confused as to how to combat his campaign. Nobdody is going to buy that Obama is some inner-city hood rat when he speaks about black responsibility. NOBODY but you. The inner-city problem is a problem that in no way reflects what and who Barack Obama is. To say so makes you look stoopid for saying so. Nice try. On second thought... short of nice.
