What's it gonna be? If some black person did make a public complaint, then there would be 10 threads by the usual anti-black rabble rouser's saying that blacks are always complaining.

Or there are the "Dems focus too much on race" threads....but take a look at all of the race threads on this forum. Damn near all started by conservatives. Hell, the same race baiters couldn't wait to make a thread about CHICKEN of all things!

So tell me again...who focuses on race all the time in reality?
Its pretty much an all volunteer staff, maybe some of you brothas should step up.

Maybe the question should be "who is more hypocritical about race".

Really? Who should care?
When companies are fined for not being diverse enough, then it DOES matter.

And here we go w/ the counterproductive name calling.

I'm using that picture to try to help illustrate the truth of who Obama is so other black people hopefully won't be fooled. He doesn't care about black people beyond the elections - he never has.

You got a white lefty liberal on CNN saying "F****** N*****" live on TV for goodness sakes. Where's Al and Jesse? Is CNN losing sponsors? Why? Because it's really not about black people to liberals - we are just tools to get to the end goal which is winning the next election.

Ultimately, I want black people to make money, and succeed, and have a good life where we don't kill ourselves in the process. To get there, we have to deal with the truth about what's going on.

You can doubt my blackness and call names all you want - but the truth is what it is and Obama doesn't care about black people despite what he says. Except - when he needs blacks to fan the flames of racism in order to silence or guilt white working conservatives - then we are useful. Think about it - no focus on jobs, no economic incentives, black businesses ignored - but when Trayvon is killed, now he looks like you - now he needs you.
I don't know what black people expect, there are more pressing problems than tending to black peoples needs, like the economy, if that fails, we're all screwed, including black people.

Ah yes, the KKK reference. What, you've used up your monthly allotment of nazi references?

Obama's thinking "I don't need no diversity... I only want the best talent....diversity is for peons and losers"

Yet the “army of twenty-somethings” campaign manager Jim Messina has assembled in the president’s hometown is almost uniformly white, according to photos contained in a detailed BuzzFeed report Monday.
Further examination of the Obama’s campaign’s Tumblr site over the past month reveals very few black individuals—apart from the president and his wife, Michelle—in the pictures posted in the feed.

One of the only featured pictures to include a black individual is one from a recent White House visit by Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols.
The revelation is potentially embarrassing for the first African-American president and the party he leads.

In August 2011, Obama signed an executive order requiring federal agencies to develop plans for improving workforce diversity.

Oh..so now the conversation should change, huh? Hmmmm

So you don't like the answer when i ask who brings up race time and time again on C-D, which means that I have to change the wording so that the answer MIGHT come out the way you like it?

Nah...doesn't matter. On matters of hypocrisy, the right wing is just as guilty...actually more.

Don't worry about what we expect. When we want you to know, we'll tell you. And of course, that'll never happen.

Worry about your own folks.

Nope - just a black person who is against liberalism. That's all.
