Hell, I'm TDY in Texas this week and there are poor white folks all over the place. You don't even have to go searching for it.
Stereotype I guess. You're correct. There are poor people everywhere.

I think a lot impressions of African Americans is based on what people see on TV,in the News,casual observations or black passersby. I think people who fear and loathe black people don't have any contact with them. They believe that black people have these supper powers that allow them to see into your soul and ascertain if you are a racist or not. So by coming on an anonymous forum they can keep their distance from a black person but at the same time find out why do black people say ax instead of ask.

I know many, many nice black people, but their overall culture leaves a lot to be desired.
Bolded for irony.

The rest of your post wasn't worth responding to.

Listen to Rush Limbaugh and you will know why they come here in droves.

I listened to him in the car for about 10min yesterday, he must have mentioned race and Obama around 100 times in that window.

You mean you managed to tolerate listening to that big bag of wind for 10 minutes? I'm lucky if I can tolerate 1 minute of his dribble.

Yea...drives me nuts. Last thing i wanna hear from people is them talking about their negligible Indian ancestry. Most folks know damn well they're lying, but think it lends credibility to their arguments.

I've spent a weekend or two in that region...mostly the Kentucky and Virginia area. I thought the folks were quite nice. They don't have much, but they seemed friendly enough.

I have to disagree with you there....all of these threads have different topics. They're about black people and voting and Obama and.....well you know what I mean..they have different titles.


93% of blacks voted for Obama

98% of Black Women Age 18-29 Voted For Obama


Black Voters Look To Leverage Loyal

Do blacks support Obama because he's black?

Blacks vote for Obama because........?

Why do blacks continue to vote for Democrats?

Why do most blacks back Obama?

Is it racist when blacks vote for Obama?

Is it racist for 90% of Blacks in MS to vote for Obama?

Virtually 100% of blacks will vote for Obama

Will Blacks vote for Obama in 2012?

Wow. It's more than I thought and that's probably just a handful. And those are just the thread titles; not the posts themselves.
