its been used numerous times but even that quote doesnt equate to racism
Still waiting for the racist quote. Where is it?
I see you like to move goal posts. You stated that the original quote never called him that, I supplied you with the quote, and now you want a different quote. My turn, what is it about our POTUS, whom is a Ivy league educated attorney, makes you equate him with lack of education, violence, gangs, drugs, and poverty. I don't know about you, but when I think of Harvard, law, University of Chicago, the White House, those images don't pop in my mind.

Certainly you would agree that one needs to keep to the topic correct? If "ghetto goon" is RACIST, then YOU must find the RACIST quote and not ANY quote.
Are you able to find this mysterious racist quote becuase up to now you havent been.

How about words like ACORN, unions, thuggery, class envy, always blaming someone else, (even police officers), the ends justify the means attitude, take from person A etc and there are many examples which could equite Obama to "ghetto" actions and NONE of that deals with race.
You left wingers are so public with your display of racism that its beyond ridiculous.

How has Obama displayed thuggery. What class is he envious of? When is he always blaming someone else? The ends justify the means = ghetto?? The rest of the words you threw out , ACORN, etc.. make no sense to me and I don't see the relevance.
Of course you don't see the relevance, you couldn't see the difference between an approval rating percentage and a vote percentage.
Sorry, I don't see the connection between unions and ghettos. If anything, ghettos, with high unemployment have little do with with labor unions. I'm getting the inclination that many believe that ghetto is just another word for liberal. If that's the case, then I agree it's not a racist statement, just extremely ignorant.
Y'know, there's a reason why I'm against affirmative action, race based scholarships, and the like, but have many black friends.
It's simple really. They know I'm not a racist. In fact, they know the very reason why I hate those programs are these.
1. I have great respect for my black colleagues. To think they would need a hand up from anyone would be racist.
2. To condone positive racism is to invite negative racism.
3. If I fail, or get passed up by a person of color, I want to KNOW it's because they were better than me. I don't even want to wonder if it was an AA thing. They don't deserve that and neither do I.
People are people. The sooner everyone realizes that, the sooner we can tell the powers that be "Sorry F'ers, you now have one less thing to use to divide us. What else ya got?"
Yet folks like yourself have no problem with nepotism or cronyism which are far more pervasive in the workplace (and in life) than a minority getting ahead due to affirmative action. Or is nepotism and cronyism more acceptable because its another White person who has been promoted or earns more money than you. Do you view nepotism and cronyism as someone getting a "hand up"? When you asked your frat brother or Uncle Joe to help you get your foot in the door of his company was that a "hand up" or fair to the people who had not inside contacts to help them get the job?
