Yes, the OP's question is VERY hypothetical. There are a LOT of white people who don't like Romney:
- elderly people on Medicare
- people who work in public sector jobs involving education, public health, and social services ... convenient places for snobs to make cuts
- people who can't relate to "silver spoons"
- people who don't want a Mormon in the White House (more pragmatic than racist)
- young people who are more individualistic than ever before

Want to debate the subject?

Start a new thread 'and' be ready!

What lie am I spreading? Also what does Sharpton and Jackson have to do with this subject, are you about to tell me that they are black folks leaders that all of us black folks follow?

People on this board says that democrats are on the plantation all the time on this board, and don't forget that your dear Mr. Romney said this just the other night:

" I understand how difficult it can be for an African-American in today’s society. In fact, I can relate to black people very well indeed. My ancestors once owned slaves, and it is in my lineage to work closely with the black community. However, just because they were freed over a century ago doesn’t mean they can now be freeloaders. They need to be told to work hard, and the incentives just aren’t there for them anymore. When I’m president I plan to work closely with the black community to bring a sense of pride and work ethic back into view for them"

The democratic party back then were the republicans, but you already knew that. The reason why 85% of African Americans don't vote or the GOP is because of he insults, you can not go around telling people they live in a plantation, they can't think for themselves and calling them freeloaders and expect for them to vote for you. It's common sense really..
^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^
The whole mess was a lie or do you just espouse the talking points of Sharpton and Jackson automatically?

I had to look twice because I almost thought that you had plagiarized one of Jackson's speeches!

There is nothing wrong with what Romney said .. Most blacks are still on the plantations except it isn't the Republican plantation .. it is the plantation of the race baiters who earn their living in spreading, 'exactly' what they want (and what you just did),

And the race baiters align themselves with the Dimmies!

Bolding mine.

Thank you for providing yet another example showing that what Unique said is correct. not that we don't have

Bryan Fischer,

Newt Gingrich,

Rick Santorum,

Herman Cain, and

Allen West

... among others as more prominent examples, but still, thanks.

Since we like quotes so much .. allow me:

Quote:
You better believe that if people like Al Sharpton and Melissa Harris-Perry can be frequent guest and host on MSNBC.I.A. (GE capital) they're more than likely being paid to block for Obama. This is all part of the race-card/white-guilt campaign strategy that Obama and his minions are slowly unveiling before the run up to the brutal 2012 elections.

Quote:
The House Negro -in- Chief punked Black people at that CBC gathering.

While he's taking our freedoms, property, pay & benefits, all we have left is our dignity.

The Shoe Shiner -in- Chief must not be allowed to get away with this. We MUST throw our full support behind Tavis Smiley, and implore CORNEL WEST to double down on his call for a primary challenge to this president, and RUN HIMSELF!

I could probably count on one hand the number of times Obama has said the words "black" or "African-American" in speeches since January 2009.

I don't think he would know a real African-American if his chauffeur ran over one on the way to the golf course.

What senior, white or black, would vote for a team that wants to go to a medical insurance voucher system that does not guarantee an insurance company coverage? Why vote for a Ryan plan and get $8k for insurance and have every insurance company turn you down because you have a pre-existing condition as most seniors have. One day in the hospital today is at least $5000 and climbing. Without the guarantee of Medicare seniors would lose everything at their first major illness.

On the subject of racism; there is no doubt the the republican party has declared war on a black man. Southern republican evangelist were flabbergasted to see a black man elected and have set out to oust him since the first day. Our republican congress has set on their laurels and done nothing while Americans have suffered all for the purpose of ousting President Obama. That's racism, plain and simple.

I wish that we were allowed to call forum parrots idiots .. but we're not so ... I'll just let the parrots speak for themselves and let the others decide.

Thank you! Talking about I copied Mr. Jackson's speech, I don't even listen to Mr. Sharpton or Mr.Jackson. The right just don't like to tell the truth..
