Slaves were brought over by Northern ship owners after they bought the slaves from their own countrymen.

Well, if they are both doing the same thing I would prefer to watch Romney do it. He is better looking and I think his wife will make a fine First Lady.

BTW does anyone know how tall Obama and Romney are? Statistics say the taller candidate usually wins.

That was Romney's goal to begin with. To go there, to be offensive and paternalist, and then wear it as a badge of honor for the bigots who run his party. That way he could shore up his conservative credentials at a time when many of them were wavering.

Played like a yo-yo.

Rush called it straight!

14 percent unemployment

He killed vouchers for poor inner city black kids to go to decent schools, so that he could help the teachers unions!

He's allowing more poor illegals to stay here to compete with blacks for jobs!!

He supports gay marriage!!

This is all of the stuff that black folk hate!!


Now you tell me that if the President were white and a Republican, that the NAACP and 96 percent of blacks would be wanting him back in office?

I guess you consider the NAACP bigots since they gave him a standing ovation. They must really enjoy being offended and treated paternally.

Loony lefties unite!

Probably making a joke, but it wasn't "plantation owners" that started bring African slaves to the Americas.

The economic advantage America needed to catch up to Europe??

Nearly all of the great genres of music America has? The hundreds of inventions by blacks? What do you mean? You don't want any black people in America?

African slaves were not treated the same as American slaves. Slaves were often obtained through war. Similar to other civilizations. Slaves were often able to work off their debts and even were often part of the family and enjoyed their meals with the family they were working for.

Yea right, Give me a break. You are claiming Romney went to speak to the NAACP to give them a racist speech so they would act (Toward Romney) like a bunch of Obama pandering bigots, and then he (ROMNEY ) could scream "racsist" ? Have I got it about right ? No credit for showing up (in what he knew
was a hostile environment ) to give the speech & try to get his ideas across ?

You do realize they invited him there don't you ? You also know that you are just stating the Democratic
party responce as well, Huh ? Obama didn't even show up, he just sent Biden.

Well, heres my take on it. Right or Wrong, it took guts just to go give the speech. I didn't see any racical bias there. I didn't see him change his policy or back away from anything he has allready stated.
I don't see him making a big deal out of it today.

Limbaugh is just another white Al Sharpton. I see no reason for either side to bring race into this election. I hought Obama was 1/2 white, so, in reality all this "race baiting" is absurd. Why can't we just
make this election about issues ?
