    No, I don't we are talking about the white/black issue. If president bush, purposely made a video....DIRECTLY talking to JUST the white population of this country it wouldn't and shouldn't be tolerated....PERIOD!

    If bush wanted to speak directly to Christians, I would have no problem with that...and perhaps he did...he was a Christian. But, if he had spoken directly to a race of people saying that he excepted their votes....that would be insanity.

    Now, flash forward to Obama....everything is accepted by the democrats....it's absolutely disgusting.

    This country is made up of all races, all Americans. Him singling one group out based on their race.....would to me make it two sets of Americans....one black and one white. The sad part is blacks don't even realize he is doing it. If I were black I would be insulted by this race baiting idiot.

    I am pretty sure black folks have already seen our fair share from 1776 until 2008.

    Barack Obama is the president of African America, but not of Working Class White America.

    Oh now we are ALL Americans, but when it comes to crime in the "Hood" it is a black folks problem.

    Its the American Way.

    Hmmm, but Dr. King was murdered by the right wing, spit on by the right wing, villified by the right wing. Now today every time we turn around it is the right wing, ie. Hannity, Boortz, etc. trying to quote Dr. King.

    If that is the case why are we still in 2012 talking about the "First black this or the first black that".

    Racism is when you believe that one race is superior, or inferior, to another.

    This is no more racist than the Knights of Columbus.

    So you are telling us Dr. King and Malcolm would be spreading the message of conservatives. Conservatives of 2012 are no different than conservatives of 1950.

    I have NEVER said that. Fail.



    Mr. King was murdered by a loan nutter, just like KennedyX2. Your point is without any substantiation. JFK by a communist nutter and RFK by an Islamic Nutter. The day you show me their links to others is the day you will have a point.

    You personally may not have said it, but it has been said many times by those of your ilk on this very forum.

    No Dr. King was not killed by a loan nutter, that is what we have been lead to believe.

    I don't have to show you anything, the history of that period speaks for itself. Even the Head of the FBI labeled Dr. King as the "most dangerous negro in america."

    This is the test. It's 100% dispositive, nothing more need be added.

    Congressional White Caucus

    National Association for the Advancement of White People

    United Cracker College Fund

    When it's done for blacks it's an admission that THEY ARE NOT EQUAL. They need some special spiff to compete where there are clearly inferior. I can't imagine a more racist formulation.

    And Obama is racist. That's been clear from before the election.

    Do you really have to make another thread about this? There's like 3 of them already, if you hate the fact that he made a group like this based on African-Americans (despite already having made other racial and ethnic groups on his website) then that's fine.

    'Race' card propaganda for the African American voters. Best thing to do is stay at home and have a beer/soda, and watch the remaining voters via the MSM, and watch their 'victory' again.

    I was referring to his launch of the "African Americans for Obama" campaign as redundant. He will likely get most of the black vote anyway so it's pointless.

    you frame the debate in that manner... I disagree. Black Americans are an ethnic group... just like Irish Americans are an ethnic group... but even moreso. Irish catholic Americans were treated like dog feces by WASP America when THEY got here as well... the big difference, their skin was white and they weren't owned as property... but their lives pretty much sucked out loud. And when one of their own made it to the white house... it was a magical day for them... just like it was a magical day for black Americans when THEIR man finally made it there. White Anglo Saxon Protestant Americans have ALWAYS run the show and they still do. For them to get all indignant about black Americans being excited about the presidency and for the first black president to speak to his ethnic group that had for so long been downtrodden and OWNED by WASP america... that's just plain ol' fear of the uppity black men who are gonna come take your women in the night... it's baseless and it is racist.

    Ah (*)(*)(*)(*) can you change my vote, using my iPhone and accidentally voted "no". I do very much agree Obama doing this is very very racist because if a white candidate had called on white people specifically in the same way Obama has called on blacks it would be considered very racist.
