Remember, Mr. Trump said there won't be another black President for a long time - I don't know why Ben Carson has not dropped out yet. Mr. Trump's insight would hopefully dissuade the likes of Alan West from running for President.

LOL I was thinking that since last night the moderators were grilling Donald Trump they should have ask him:

"Do you think Carson has zero chance of winning the primary because he is black?" Maybe they are saving that one for the next debate.

Now if Carson won he would be actually the first black president. American idiots of all races forget Obama is half white.

Do you need a hankie? Apparently no GOP candidate could defeat Obama in 2008 & 2012. I guess Conservatives couldn't get it through their thick skulls too and unable to defeat a no talent community organizer

"The jackals bray; but the caravan moves on." (Anonymous)

The management of the wealth of the nation, as opposed to the conduct of the wealthy, had little to do with the problem. The collection of Chicago gangsters and elitist bi-coastal snobs that put "Barry-O and the WonderPets" into power have turned the nation into an economic basket case mostly interested in pandering to cultural misfits and losers.

If the entire system collapsed again, there are plenty of people out there who know how to restart things. But they probably will keep it on a small scale, because they would immediately become a target for those who think they have a better way -- if they're only given more power.

We may have to choose between continued stagnation -- or continued betrayal and abandonment of the principles that served us well, until recently. And that is the most disturbing thought of them all.

i dont like obamas politics, i didnt like carters politics, i didnt like most of clintons politics, that does not make me a jerk, or a racist, it makes me a conservative.

now i cannot say whether or not i like these people though, since i have never met them. who knows perhaps the four of us could be good drinking buddies if we were to meet in real life.

When did they pass laws making it illegal to hate someone for who they are and what they stand for rather what they are?

so the working theory of this thread is America is racist because it elected a black man twice but wont (in the future that has not happened) because America is racist...


(yea, I said that twice...)

So the whole non-Marxist, non-race baiting, non American hating world is composed of jerks? What a twisted little damp squib you are.

Every day you get to look in the mirror and learn all about jerks. Must give you a warm fuzzy feeling.

American is more racist when the politician name "Barack Obama" becomes president. Since my 30 years in the US, I have seen more racism here in the 5 to 8 years than my first 20 here.

If you want less racism, listen to Morgan Freeman. Don't worry, Freeman is black.
