Our country is in the ****ter because of decisions he and his ilk made, not because his skin is darker.

get over it already.

I don't think that you fully understand the situation. You have to look at the whole thing from another perspective. First of all there is a difference between the teabaggers and the teapartiers and apparently you like many others are confused between the two. The TRUE teapartiers are for a balanced budget and therefore SHOULD believe in equal/fair taxation of ALL of it's people and not just benefitting the rich. My other point is that the REAL teapartiers would be against all forms of excessive taxation from either party and not just anything that is proposed by one party. The TEABAGGERS sole agenda is get rid of the first black president under the guise of the teaparty. They ran on getting jobs but once they got in they held up everything for tax cuts for the rich and have yet to produce a viable job creation bill. They have totally disrespected OUR president before he was elected, before he signed off on any bill and even now there are racist overtones and threats on conservative talk radio and by republican chairmen (S.C)

It is easy to say that the blacks are "whinning" about racism if you are not black and the extremely high unemployment does not affect them, but try being black (or any other person) if you are faced with not feeding your family and at the same time the very things that are setup to prevent these things are being taken away by uncaring politicians who are getting paid by lobbyist to push their own agendas.

For the record there are things about this current administration that I do not agree with but what are the alternatives?

Palin-she is obviously out for the money and claims that she is not runinng but always pops up in polling places

Bachman- totally unelectable, does not know history, and constantly contradicts herself

Perry- Obvious liar and takes credit for something that he had nothing to do with (jobs in Texas)

Paul- great ideas but gets no respect from the republican party and will block any progressive ideas that he may have.

Where did I insinuate a physical or violent uprising or use "racial political jargon"?

OK Einstein, answer me this if you so kindly would, do you believe that black track athletes are better TRACK ATHLETES than white track athletes? A simple yes or no will do. Its a simple question.

Ok, I'll bite but what about those who don't fall into any of those categories? What is their excuse for their situation?

Btw, I don't know any whites that are remotely threaten by asians

I will join with the CBC and do all I can to protect my family from the tea party. Our future depends on it.
Yea the Tea Party is against Black Achievement... that is why the Tea Party got Col. Allen West elected.


EC, I have to give it to you. When you say something so blatantly false, you do it with utter bravado!

that being said why are the oil companies, farmers and other industries still getting subsidies while making record profits?

Do you think unemployment is a hand out?

Congressional Black Caucus' Dangerous Violent Rhetoric: Declares 'War' on Racist Tea Party, - YouTube!


Meanwhile it's the Left that has been calling on bank runs, not paying your mortgage and declared war on Wallstreet. They also have been the ones calling for civil unrest in the streets. I see their new tactic is to try and convince people it is actually the other side that is doing what they are.
To be fair, the Tea Party has been using a lot of inflammatory, in many cases, racist, language and rhetoric for the past two years.

I'm not complaining that the republicans are not pandering to blacks and latinos, what I'm saying is that they don't give a damn about them. There is a difference. Why pander knowing that you don't care?
