Pretty sure I'd trade places with Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter, LeBron James, Ryan Howard, Alex Rodriguez, etc. Hell, I'd trade places with Tiger Woods!

There are lots of black people I'd trade places with, in fact.
Awe, let these race baiters keep their stereotypes, its the only thing that keeps them going on living their lives day by day.

Don't tell them that, then they can't make the irrelevant title of the thread their main means of attack.

LOL...when i say trade place, i don't mean trading assets.

No, you'd have to take their race along with the assets. Trust me dude, you can't wear these shoes. You wouldn't have the first clue about what you'd be getting into. I'd give it a week before you'd freak the hell out and jump off a building!

I'm sorry, do you know me? I don't believe you do. So, please don't presume to know what I would or wouldn't do.

I promise you, I *could* wear those shoes.

Hmmm... seems some are playing the "Woe is me; I'm black" card to deflect attention away from the Obama campaign's Pigford vote-buying scam.

Again, from The Hill...
Quote:
Supporters of Obama’s presidential campaign argued the then-Illinois senator’s move to resolve late Pigford claims would endear him to Southern black voters during the tough Democratic primary race against former Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.). At the time of the bill’s introduction in 2007, Obama was finding his footing as a candidate and polls suggested he was struggling to attract black voters. He later won almost unanimously among this group against Clinton and then in the general election against Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
CBC upset over Obama

Obama bought southern black votes via the Pigford II settlements. ...And Obama just recently added over $1 Billion more to the Pigford II payout fund to keep the CBC and black voters happy.

$50,000 ? you can't do crap with that . There are 3rd or 4th generation white farmers who are payiing out probally 10 times that in rent checks. you can barely put a up building with that. There are plenty of African Americans who's grandfathers were forced off their 40 acre farms by banks. some of them are dead. and these payments will go to heirs. It great that after screwing thousands of farmers out of their life ,they will all be able to buy a twenty five year old tractor.

The Sherrod deal was exposed for being a cut and paste job on her speech .and how many people really believe a black president needs to buy the Southern Black vote, ?

At the time it wasn't how many it was who.

The answer: Supporters of Obama’s presidential campaign. Why? Polls suggested he was struggling to attract black voters. The south loved the Clintons. Hillary Clinton was favored.

Didn't you read the article from The Hill linked earlier?

More on the vote-buying scam...
