I'm not sure why you're trying to paint me as a Democrat. My observation of black people is non-partisan and real. If anything, if I were a Dem, I would be politically correct and not acknowledge my observation.

It is Democrats who believe black people need Affirmative Action because they believe we can not make it without their help.
This I somewhat agree with.

I am not trying to paint you as a Democrat, I am just talking about how you think of black people like Democrats do.

you may have a real observation of some black people, but not an observation of black people as a whole.

Its not like he is speaking at a Black Panther rally, these are future doctors, lawyers, and CEOs.

Second of all, he was a UNITED STATES SENATOR then. Do you honestly believe he would attend a graduation commencement and throw caution to the wind because these are 'his people' and just completely go off?

Third, if there was anything worth a **** in this, McCain or even Clinton for that matter would have been all over it. It is 5 years old.

Well why dont you wait and see it first. If he indeed suggests that this country is a racist country were whites get rich by taking advantage of blacks, then youll know for a fact, that this was scrubbed before and done so for a reason.

I agree however the suspicion is raised when you don't mention a particular group (on purpose) and then pass it off by asking the "innocent" question "Is it racist or insensitive to".... I suspect you already know the answer to your question.

Just a question
It's not insensitive question. But asking it displays ignorance on the part of the questioner.

Just an answer.

NONE.

You are deeply confused.

What you do have is a survey that shows the personal choice of journalists in the media is to vote Democratic.

I would expect that. They have higher IQ, more educated, living in the North East and West Coast.

That says nothing about the product they put out.

That product is heavily affected by corporate ownership of their media company (their bosses) and their corporate customers.

That's why the MSM is dominated by right wing commentary despite what your brainwashing tells you.
Are you that dense that you need stats to prove it to you? How about the fact that this video was previously scrubbed of certain content that has not been seen by the public until tonight?

again. nobody cares about something that was said years ago.

you have a record to go after now, go after it instead of wasting time with soundbits that nobody cares about.

this is where the right gets in trouble. spend time on stupid stuff like this instead of attacking obama for what he is doing now as pres.

krauthammer said essentially the same thing last night on fox.

nobody cares.
I didn't make any comments about the tape. I mentioned him sitting in a racist church for 20 years. Again, no it is only the left that doesn't care what shaped Obama's character and his views on race.

So you think Dems really think blacks are helpless and need all the help they can get? You must subscribe to the belief that big government supports the black middle class and that without it, they would hardly have a middle class.

I agree with that second paragraph.

Just a question
Some do. Some don't.

I don't think every poor person has a problem with basic life skills.

It's a problem of being dysfunctional.

There's been suggestions that the Partiarch of the Rickett family which recently purchased the Chicago Cubs and who most people would probably consider an extreme extremist has been sitting on some sort of video and that he's been chomping at the bit to release it in an Obama attack ad. I doubt there's anything we don't know or already assume about the President's attendance at the United Church of Christ in Chicago that would cause us to change our votes for him. If such an attack ad does appear it will be yet another sign that the Romney/Ryan ticket is unable or unwilling to engage the President in the issues most impacting the country.
