More and more Americans are becoming aware of the true history of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade (I differentiate it from the numerous other slave trades that happened and are still happening in history, ahem, Darfur). More Americans are also more willing to speak out on it.

Deal With It!
Do you honestly believe this bullcrap you just wrote...you are really a dim wit!!!...Africans STARTED the Trans Atlantic slave trade.

Wow, those ships they built sure look like European ships to me and most intelligent folk!!

Please just stop, no more. Go do your homework for school tomorrow.

No, sir or madam, it is you that needs to educate yourself. The slave trade existed in Africa long before the white man stepped onto the continent. Whites largely bought what Africans were selling. I know that's hard for you to deal with, but deal with it you must. The European ships were built by...Europeans. To buy what was captured largely by...Africans. A trade that existed LOOOOOOOOOOONG before Whites entered. Oddly, it still does. Strange, that. Terrible that facts kill your fantasy.

He is black. He's white too.

OHHHHH,I see,you are trapped in the past by the way white people used to judge blacks,I am sorry to read you cannot progress beyond that way of thinking.

And what would be the harm in that?
To me,it would seem to be a great thing,don't you think so???

Doesn't really matter much to me either way.
Yet again you attempt to deny reality!!!

Who is demanding that Obama identify himself as multi-racial..Black or White People??

Who determined one drop of black blood makes anyone else a black person.. Black or White people?

Which group of people have and continue to deny the black DNA in their blood.. Black or White people?

Which group of people to this very day, attempt to portray black people as less intelligent, less moral, less law abiding, etc..Black or White people?

The bottom line is that multi-racial blacks have been labled black in this country since slavery and up untill today, this is not a black line of thought; it is solely white.

Whites with black DNA are not about to change their status from white to multi-racial and we both know that, they will lose too much social standing.

So again why are sooo many white people adamant about only Barrack Obama being multi-racial and no other black people??!!...or other white people

First,

Well logically speaking he IS black....that must be hard for some people to deal with when you base your entire way of life on white skin and the societal
privileges that go with it.

posted in response to Oz in SC. not directed at you in any manner. Again opening your mouth before you know what's going on, I'm positive Oz can reply for himself, no need for a cyber-superman.

Then like a nosey sissy, you butt into the conversation with this usually ill informed crap that the dullards use when the other b.s. doesn't.



Let me restate this in a way for the dumb azzes that haven't the intellect (including you) in how the notion of white privilege is very much applicable to this topic.

White people and white people alone have made the determination that one drop of black blood ruins a white blood line; how arrogant of whites to make a determination of the human worth of another human being!!..but because of your whiteness or your Aryanism or your caucasianess, and your belief in the superiority of whiteness and the institutions that enforce that ideology until this day guarantee one thing and one thing alone; in any predominately white country, whites will maintain a position of privilege over every other race of people.

Again you jumped into an argument/topic that was over your head, and yes you do deserve and will receive this cyber back hand b!tck slap for being so stupid!!

To "parrot" a line means that the person stating such, has no clear meaning or understanding of the subject they are speaking of. How very arrogant of you to make such an assumption that I didn't know what I was speaking of, but again people like you usually talk out their rectum. I don't need to parrot anything, just stay in your square as a spectator until you are ready for the challenge of contributing a worthwhile response.
It also infers a dis-belief in the subject being discussed.
So for your childish challenge here is your answer: When disputing someone's view, opinion, etc and then stating that they are "parroting" strongly suggests a dis-belief in the statement made with the person you are verbally engaging. Cut out the Perry Mason bit, it doesn't work.

In response to your little feminine snark about stereotyping, take your own advice and don't stereotype me as a leftist. Live what you try to preach!!

For future reference no one "tries to assume", you either assume or you don't!!

So to sum it up...you responded to my post which was not directed at you. Failed to address any of it logically, assumed that I was parroting a line I couldn't comprehend, assumed I was a leftist, and then went off on a silly cyber challenge.

I have given you more time than you deserve, your "challenge" has been answered and I don't give a crap if you can't comprehend the nature of "white privilege", further more my point still stands.

If white people feel they have the standing to demand that this black man be labeled "multi-racial" then most blacks and whites would also have to adopt that racial class. I still don't see many white people rushing to do so...but then again I wouldn't give up that "privilege" either.

I'm done with you, you aren't worth anymore of my c/d time. Go argue with the other people you made silly rebuttals to.
WOWOWOWOW! I touched a nerve! Your name calling reveals you! I've noticed that those that call names do so because they have no argument. You are insecure. Oh, where does feminine come into play here? Oh, you're misogynistic also. You're a bigot, through and through, and I enjoy revealing that about you. Also, this is a public forum. I will comment on what I feel like. If you can't handle that, stop posting. You've embarrassed yourself by refusing to answer direct questions. Your words reveal an undeserved sense of self importance. "Cyber back slap"? Son, why don't you answer the questions and try win a debate first, then try the bragging later, by actually earning it. So far, you've just lost. In front of a wholllle bunch of people. Onward!

First, what part of this:

he truth is, is that if you are of mixed race, you are ...wait for it...mixed race. And yes, that includes many whites. I can't speak for all of them, because I am an individual white man"

do you not understand? Take your time with it, some are slower than others. You define that. Also, your pride is stinging right now, so deal with that. Then deal with the post. As you can see from my post, one can decipher that Barack is both black AND white. That is a scientific fact. It has nothing to do with your blanket racial assumptions about what ALL whites must be like. Your argument fails on fact and logic. Furthermore, if you understood my argument, you would see that I mentioned that racist whites from the past that used the one drop rule were wrong. What part of this:

"
First, all of those whites that believed in the 1 drop rule were wrong".

...did you not get the first? Don't worry, I'll repeat it. Once again, about the white privilege argument, I could write a dissertation on it, however, it's outside the scope of my post. Again, try not distracting the topic and actually answer the direct comments that contradict your arguments. You revealed yourself to be a woman hating, racist bigot. Congrats! You now have zero cred on this thread. Losing your temper like that...wow, that has to hurt. Small minds let that happen to them. You've basically been handled every which way in this debate, and I styled all over you doing it, too.

No idea....

Well,I do believe IQ tests do show that some races are better than others....Asians are top. As to the rest,facts are facts,if more people of a certain group are in prison,then that group would seem to be less law abiding.

Well...no actually it is you and other black posters who keep using this antiquated and wrong way of judging...not sure why...

I wanted my wife to claim her Cherokee heritage,we could get all sorts of benefits...
But seriously,you and some others seem to be your own worst enemies when it comes to race.
If you want a colorblind society(you do right???) then stop making your race such an issue.

In my case,because it is the facts that he IS mixed race,just like a lot of others who for some reason decide they are something else.....

Um, did you not see my previous post to you? They had a bustling slave trade that whites expanded on. Repeat yourself one more time and I will officially think you are retarded. I know you're strung up with angah! But, you can find the keys on your keyboard. Please make me think you're not as stupid as you come across as.
