Saying that apples are red is like saying that bananas are blue.

White Americans no matter what they do are never defined by the worst, it is an absurdity to even try.

Equality is a state of mind,not some rich black woman telling other blacks how pitiful they are and hinting its white peoples fault.She a liar and she is bad for black people.Look at what they have done to the young black men,with their race hustling evil.

You honestly don't get that calipoppy was illustrating a flaw in logic when she wrote that? It's called synechdoche. For the same reason that no one thinks that trailer parks define white culture, no one should think that inner-city ghettos define black culture.

Should'nt be any black cultutre or white culture,we built this nation together it should be American culture.We are losing it together too.Wake up and smell the takeover.

What's with all the "racist" and "bigot" nonsense?

So, it would be OK for a white person to makes these same observations?


Let's try it out...

Hey black people, stop ****in'-up in school, smoking weed all day and dreaming of a career in the NBA.


Not so PC when I say it, hmm?

That's not an example of a white person making the same observations. That's an ignorant person speaking in gross generalizations that can only stem from racist beliefs.

True,it use to be The United States of America now its the divided no mans land of south america,africa,asia,middle east etc,etc,etc..

No nation can survive if its not protected of its language,borders and culture. In case you have'nt noticed all the poor people in third world nations are being put here.Do you see any new jobs or plants opening up? No because they sold us out to NAFTA,CAFTA and Cina ,Japan many years ago.Mostly whites but blacks are right in there with them now.All men are greedy,color has nothing to do with it.

You are consistent in not responding to what is written. I don't care about your opinion about M. Obama, it is irrelevant. I don't about your race hustling rhetoric which is a thing that doesn't exist in the real world. M. Obama didn't blame any group.

Now please stick to the topic at hand.

Poor Whites out perform middle class Blacks academically as well. I suspect Mrs Obama is well acquainted with these facts hence the speech.
