I know they have different political identifcations.Seems like you as well as other posters here seek only those who proponents who scream 'racist' for validity and a cover to bash Obama.Sort of like those falsely accused of cheating on their spouse but then say "Well if I'm gonna get accused for it all the time I might as well cheat". I wouldn't call some opponents of Obama racist but you and I both know that there are many both white and yes black who are racist and loathe a Black man being in the White House. Look at the daily hysteria that emanates not only on this forum but on blogs and Fox and talk radio and town halls and tea parties etc... Lets put it this way,VFTP is no ally of Obama but one would be crazy to call S/he racist because S/he has been consistent about big spending under both parties.But if you have a hard time criticizing the last eight years and yet object to Obama giving a speech to schoolchildren or that his middle name is Hussein like a number of posters refer to him by or that he is some Maoist trying to destroy the Constitution when we have something called the Patriot Act is perplexing for me and others and you will be scruntinized and probably labeled a racist.
so you are more than willing to hurl your handy race card without a shred of evidence.
Hey Gibbs I thought we are all Americans no matter our race? So isn't that your culture also?

SMDH @ EndZone. And to believe that this man is 52 years old and as ignorant as can be. I guess wisdom doesn't come with age in all cases.

Thirdly, judging by some of the stuff you DID just say in the post of yours I quoted, somebody somewhere has been filling your head with misinformation and falsehoods when it comes to black folk...we aren't all gangbangers, pro athletes, rappers, thugs, multiple baby-daddies, etc, as some would have you believe...some of us even grow up to be (wait for it) President Of The United States
"In fact, Devah Pager, a professor of sociology at Princeton University and faculty associate of the university's Office of Population Research, found in a pair of studies that a white felon was more likely to find a job than an African American with no criminal record at all"
I thought it was common knowledge that Asians as a whole score higher on the SAT than any other group. Any website comparing stats will point this out.
Is that what you got from that?I feel like Gen Powell when he gave a list of reasons for voting for Obama and specifically said it was not about race and the next day Limbaugh and the right dismissed that and said that it was blacks sticking together.
Here is a question. Why must we have a thread topic each time a righty feels they have been a target victim of a lefty pulling the racist card?Doesn't that resemble the kind of whining the right is always accusing blacks of doing?

Yes! Never state your own opinion! You must say what is expected of you!
lol I believe I did state my own opinion hence you seen letters in the box. Also when I said those calling people a racist are now hurting race relations is an opinion
Show me one post that does this. Provide a single scrap of evidence to back up this outright lie.
The TOS prevent using the word for people who do this.
Perhaps you've been called racist for participating in one hissy fit after another, and it's clear that the only reason you have is a blind, unreasoning hatred of the man. Perhaps it would help if you admitted that, for a start.
And here is the prime cause of confusion to you. You think that race and culture are the same thing.
Tell that to someone from the African continent when explaining the lifestyle of blacks in America.
I know there are distinct cultures here especially geographically. The reason I'm asking Gibbs is because there was a thread that was up a few months ago debating the hyphenated American in particularly African-American.Most on the right felt as though there should be no ?????-American and it causes further divide. These are the folks same who question why is there no "white history month" or White Entertainment Television.
See either way blacks will catch some flack.On one hand blacks shouldn't be able to identify themselves separately and there's no such thing as white America or black America we are all Americans, but if there is something wrong in the black community well then its that groups problem, no more "we are all one" and a sudden disassociation appears from those wanting us all under the American umbrella.
