Isn’t an Arab of Semitic heritage? I thought his father was African.
Black people who cheered for OJ did so because the “evidence” was not evidence at all
There's a lot of white people on death row with a lot less evidence than the prosecution had in the OJ trial. OJ was found innocent because of the defense playing the race card. The jury never even heard the evidence.
And Maryland, the big lib state, had a chance to elect a black governor last election and did not.
Because Steele was a REPUBLICAN,thats why he was defeated,not cause he was black.
Had he fallen in line with the liberal agenda or even played moderate Democrat,he would have been elected.
The liberals still had a chance to vote for him. What was the black vote break down for Steele?
Lots of people on FR keep tossing around the statistic that Obama is 7/16 Arab, but exactly what is the evidence for this? Does it even make sense, given the tribal background and appearance of his father, that the father could possibly have been 7/8 Arab?
His father, evidently according to Kenyan law, is an Arab.
OJ grew up in the housing projects of Potrero Hill and went to Galileo High,a very integrated school at the time.
I grew up in and around San Francisco.I hate to generalize but many black men in San Francisco tend to gravitate toward white women or see them as the ideal phenotype.Even in the early Sixties,you would see numerous black male-white female couples.I wonder if this social tendency influenced OJ.
Its true there are many black Arabs.That part of the world has a long history of trade and slave raiding by Arabs since the Eighth Century.
Yet Obama’s dad certainly doesn’t LOOK like a traditional Arab.Do you say that because he was a Muslim?
Its kind of a running joke among black women that the brothers will hit on a white woman,”Eight to Eighty,blind,crippled or crazy”.
Not sure it THATS so but you do see a lot of black men with VERY rotund white women.
Of course,beauty standards for many black men include”healthy,big boned”women so maybe thats understandable.
Within the last 10 days. I've searched back to 31 July so far, haven't found it yet. It's there, never fear.
See post 73.
Obama has never acknowledged any Arab background.I don’t think its anything that would derail his Presidential ambitions,however or influence many votes.
He had no choice who his parents were.
That's asinine.
And it's also a damned lie.
Maybe, but I worked with several black women who were certain that he did it the night it happened. They were equally sure that the "ho" deserved it.
Don’t fool yourself-those women know whats happening.They just are under the illusion that”having a man”is worth putting up with the cheating.
Black women collaborate in their own oppression since most have such low self esteem.And forget about all those”tough bad ass sistas”nonsense.Its all a front to hide a lot of hurt and pain.
“Personally,I felt little emotion at the acquital.”
Me either. I was surprised but that’s about it.
“No,society has not”moved beyond all that”.Lots of these old angers just fester and marinate until the appropriate time when they explode with vehemence.”
Seems extremely one-sided. Besides, what “old angers” does anyone under the age of 60 really have? A few white guys got away with murder 50 years ago? When can we expect these “old angers” to subside? Ever?
I’m sorry but that’s just a lame excuse for acting in a hateful manner.
I think its something twisted in the human condition that keeps these age old racial animosities alive.
For example,in my forty years on and off working in urban schools,I have seen way more INTRA racial hate and anger than the other way around.Black kids will pound the crap out of each other,harass black females and call each other the worst kind of names but as soon as a Mexican or Asian does something against a black kid,its on-the blacks all unite against “the other”.
I went to all white schools.Most white kids talked bad about”the niggers”but would run away real fast if they saw four or more blacks together.The big prejudice back then was against Jews.Lots of the Italian and Irish kids didn’t think much of the”kikes”.Jealousy in my opinion.The Jewish kids dominated the honor rolls in the same ways Asian kids do today.
