I didn't realize it was a typo. With all the name calling now a days it could be a bad name. I still don't know what it is. I was just asking. ?????

I do have black neighbors who work very hard for a living.

I have never realized the division of the races till I started coming to city-data and now I see the name calling of black republicans. If you want Obama, just have to say he is no job creator.

If anyone wants to believe that the white people are all racists you can think that too. It is your choice.
OK I can see this isn't going to go anywhere, but I'll respond anyway. I don't think that Herman Cain or Allen West are Uncle Toms. I have repeatedly stated that, but you decided that I don't like them. I have nothing against white people, and all of my posts show that. You have decided that I don't like white people. I guess you know me better than I do.

I too never realized the division of races until I reached C-D. I have been all over the South and in the West as well. But nothing I heard or saw was nearly as bad as this.

I don't think that either candidate is strong, but I will not vote for Romney simply because he is the other option to Obama; that is not good reasoning. I don't like his track record, and I don't believe he should be in charge of the country. And still, I will vote to remove every politician that is currently in the Congress, because none of them are getting the job done. If you are that committed to changing the people in office, you should do the same.

Nah, everyone makes it a double standard. If he is (which I don't think so, so we'll have to disagree), then he's just joining every voter and every other politician that there is. Nothing new. Again, I don't understand why conservatives and liberals try to make the other side seem like the bad guy. Both sides are the bad guy, but neither wants to admit their own faults.

So for you to do something, the other side has to do something first. The Republicans call black Democrats names as well, but you aren't calling for a stop to that. Everyone needs to stop with the name calling and just let black people - or any person really - do what they want.

It's too simple for you....I'd call her a woman.....an American...a person with an opinion like everyone else.






""Never said her opinion was more important,"""


The why the designation "Black Lady" ??? Why is her color important?



"""it's just important, like anyone Else's.

Now tell me what is racist if one says Santa Claus---I am sure you can think of one. Seems everything is called racist now.
Yes, it is racist to refer to a black woman as "Black Lady" with capital letters as if she's a thing....

You must be seeing things. I put caps on the first letter to show respect like we do with any name. Your racism is making you see things that aren't there.

Well as long as their are people who write about an Uncle Ruckus the whites will be resented.. the problem I see is the LEADERS of the blacks agenda don't do a darn thing to mend racial relationships . I am learning they don't want to mend or have any kind of brotherhood blacks and whites. It is only a small number of people who have been liberated from their resentment. What a person feeds on they become.Some want to feed on the negatives of Uncle Ruckus.. Some don't feed on garbage and become what they want.

I have inlaws in South Texas that were staunch Democrats of several generations. They voted for him, too. I can't speak for them and who they'll vote for, but I can guess. They are probably hitting the martinis and wine, shocked, disillusioned very much and even a bit confused. They're the ones that have phoned hubby several times, blasting the current admin. for things and I hear hubby say something close to, "Don't grytch at me, he's YOUR president. I didn't vote for him!"

Funny how the phonecall is just about over once I hear that.
