I’m not sure which is more shocking, that 31% of whites actually have a positive opinion of Obama, or that only 83% of blacks do. Rim shot...

Seriously, if 83% of blacks can see nothing wrong with Obama, that speaks for itself.

It doesn’t make me feel angry with blacks, it serously makes me sympathetic to them. Folks, we have done as much as we can to help. You have got to do the rest yourselves, and comprehension skills are a must.

Sherri Shepherd and Whoopi Goldberg admitted there is a double standard, but added there should be.

And this is why Blacks can't be made fun of for interpreting the Bible literally, right?

[SpaceBar]

I cannot ever recall an asian (chinese/japanese/korean/philippines etc) bemoaning their lot in life for being asian in America, or suggesting they were put down by "the man". Whoopi should be ashamed of herself for obsessing on the color of her skin in the very nation that provided the opportunities for her successes, and trying to foist her faulty victimistic world view on others.

Sherri Shepherd said she uses the word "as a term of endearment," but said to Barbara Walters "I don’t want to hear it coming out of your mouth."

Am I ever glad that she said that second part, because I was about to start using the word, you know, as a term of endearment.

So you think whites in America are NAZIs and Blacks in American are akin to the Jews under Hitler.

Thanks for making your views known up front. I’m sure a lot less time will be wasted on you than would have been otherwise.

People live in the same world and have similar needs. ‘Waiting for government to take of me’ is an ideal more prevalent among African Americans when the votes are tallied. It’s also rather prevalent with elitist white liberal types. They like to control the people, anyway they can.

Whoopi Goldbeg has inspired a new tagline.

Traveling between those two worlds can be confusing.

[gridlock]

If 95% of one group vote for a candidate who happens to be of their race and another 45% of another group vote for that same candidate, which group is showing racist tendencies. Do people think that 95% of whites would vote for a candidate like Barack Obama if he happened to be white?

Yes we do. Whoopi and her ilk live in a fantasy world.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Some analogies hold water.

Some...not so much.

[ClearCase_guy]

the other side will cease to care what the first side thinks about anything.

I'm there. Been there for awhile. I am who I am. I'm not a bad person. Other people are who they are -- and some of them are uncivilized barbarians who can't manage very well outside a state of nature.

"My mother could not go and vote in the United States of America, the place of her birth."

Whoopi was born in 1955, in New York City. Her mother is reported to have been a nurse and teacher. Her father, who eventually left the family, was a clergyman. Since when were blacks not allowed to vote in New York City? She's a friggin' liar or she's doing heroin again.

[Riodacat]

Huh? Are you saying whites are out of touch?

Of course..
It's never the majority who can accurately assess the state of relations with a minority group (the bulk of whom are invisible to society at large).. It is always the minority groups opinion (right or wrong) which determines that state...
But have no fear, in 100 years we'll be the minority and then our opinion will be the correct one..

[Alouette]

And in a completely unrelated story, 55% of Germans in 1938 felt relations with their Jewish neighbours were good or very good.
And the Jews in Germany,,,,,, not so much.

And your point is...?

[strange1]

SHEPHERD: I can use it as a term of endearment.

WALTERS: But if I used it...

SHEPHERD: I don’t want to hear it come out of your mouth.

Hippo-crit....

This woman who is named after a fart toy (no, Im not joking, look it up) does live in a different world-one where she has had at least 6 abortions and an affair with a married man whose wife had had a stroke due to childbirth.(Ted Dansen)

[raptor29]

Whoopi Goldberg is a complete no-talent, with no measurable skills or appeal. Hollywood can prop up anyone they want and this loser is just one of the lucky (or well-connected) ones who gets the support. Why anything she says matters to anyone is beyond me.

Boy, I'll say.

Nice crib, Whoopi.
