Yes, let's not be like Roland Martin, and use racial demagoguery to score political points.

If you post how about making an honest post!

On "your" flip side of the coin there are people that agree with Obama 100%, they don't disagree with him on a single thing?

Pray tell, where are these people?

Better yet can you supply a link to their website maybe?

Okay, get back to me, will ya.

Like I said let's stop pretending it's not there, better yet refute the "totality" of what I said.

Stop being silly!

Yet another unsubstantiated correlation. Oh, and it has nothing to do with denigration based on race, does it. Certainly to support such a claim about parent involvement in a child's education, economics would be the key factor.

Are you hoping for a race war or something? Nothing but a conclusion based on hysterics.

There is nothing silly about racism, as practiced by Mr. Martin and defended by you. I find it sad.

There is plenty to criticize in Obama's non-plan (actually written by Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Rahm Emannuel and David Axelrod -- all of whom share one charateristic -- I'll let you guess it), without bringing race into the equation.

Attempting to smear its critics by referring to the color of their skin is nothing more than a pathetic diversionary tactic. Mr. Martin should eschew such tactics. So should you.

Maybe the only people who are even aware that Barry wants to use the school kids to help him push his fascist agenda are the few who actually give a duce about what goes on at school in the first place.

Hmmmm, what percentage of blacks support 0bama, I think its something like 70% or so.

Wow, what a gold mine, a journalist could write story after story, commenting on the racial disparity between 0bama supporters and non supporters, and spin the racial disparity as if it were a sure sign of racism.

The silliness is when people like you will attempt to take a statement that is factual on it's face and somehow attempt to make it untrue because you don't like it!

He said the opposition is "mainly white"
Is this accurate or not!

Of course it's accurate.

What the hell are you talking about "plan" it's a school speech.

Oh I forgot, to people like you it's part of the "socialist Indoctrination Plan".


Most of the people in the NAACP are black.

Oh my God, I'm racist against my own people I said the word "black".

Most of the opposition against Obama's school speech are white.

Oh my God, I'm racist against white people because I just said "white".

See how silly your line of reasoning is, just because someone says "Black" or "White" does not make them racist!

It has everything to do with it. If you have 100 people and 10 are of one race and 90 are of another (I know those aren't the break down of race but, just keeping the thought simple), then it is only logical that if a group of this population are against something the majority of them or going to be from the race of 90. Understand?

The article says the opposition is "LARGELY WHITE".... hence the demographic breakdown correlation.
