good grief
what an insulting comment to make Obama needs to TRY and be president, I know he has not done very well at that job so far but he needs to try and quit insulting white women and black men
what a totally ignorant man he is
I have a feeling you're insulted when Obama brushes his teeth.

I feel like a lot of times, I'm listening to my elderly father and his caretaker while they rant about that black ************* in the white house. That whole generation.

Senior citizen hater. Just because some one is right-wing, and elderly, they must be racist.

Give it a rest.

I hate Obama's policies. I'm so racist I wanted Herman Cain to be president.

Doesn't President Obama realize the USA is so racist they elected a black man president.

Quit calling others racist and realize that most people do judge others by the content of their character.

INNOCENT!

Now you know. Don't you feel silly!
There's a difference and you know it. Why don't the verdict forms have a box to check for 'INNOCENT'?

There's a reason.

Unless - you also think OJ is innocent. Perhaps you do. The jury spoke after all.

Let's really talk about that. You go first.
Blacks in the ghetto commit crimes because they can't afford to live in decent middle class neighborhoods & go to White schools.

That will be his argument watch & see.

Of course.

But Trayvon made poorer ones. And they resulted in his death.

Attacking, knocking down, and beating someone who has not attacked you, is a VERY poor decision.

BTW, it's also a crime - the ONLY crime that was committed that night.

I suppose it's possible that Zimmerman is equal opportunity sociopath/stalker/murderer. Or maybe he was engaging in a little racial profiling.

Regardless, Obama was discussing the lens through which black people view the world.
There is zero, nada, zilch worth of evidence to show it. So until then, bringing race into this is bs.

Regardless.....I cont care. We've heard it a million times before. I dont care what lens they look through. That sounds like a problem with them, no one else. If them looking through that everything as skin color, that shows their biggest problem is looking at the world through skin color. The evidence in this case shows there was no racism involved. I think he shouldve said, quit looking through the world through your black colored lens and start owning up to your own issues.

Don't be so self-absorbed; I wasn't referring specifically to you.

All I have seen on this forum - with regard to Obama's speech today is that it was racist. So perhaps you should direct your comments to them.

Just because non-bigots voted President Obama into office doesn't mean that this country is no longer continually being cursed with bigots. Racism exists in this country and acting indifferent to it is not an effective way for you to be part of the solution. Racists are racists and are targeted here.

Acknowledge this and do something about it. You "hate" Obama's policies, so chances are you, like the bigoted segment of this country you have more in common with than not, are part of the problem.

The fact that you wanted Herman Cain to be president doesn't mean that you are not a bigot, and it doesn't mean that you work to combat racism.

[quote=Ringo1;30571063]I thought he gave a thoughtful and calming speech ~ trying to unite, not divide.

Every time the subject of race comes up - it's now 'race baiting'. An effective tool at ending any and all communication on the subject.

President Obama is right - the next generation sees things soo differently.[/quote
