Obama is also the last black President........ at least for a very long while
Ping.
Rearden, I pretty much put things the way I like but I will consider your opinion, as a matter of fact I will spend the rest of life wondering just how would Rearden write this
The biggest problem for any black conservative is getting the media to even acknowledge their existence. When Alan Keyes ran in 2000, the media completely ignored him. They would do the same with Cain or West.
Media doesn’t care what the race is....they tow the line for the democrate candidate regardless of color.
Amen, amen.
People want to be able to criticize their president’s policies without being called a racist.
I don’t think America will elect another black president for a long, long time.
On the long line of Presidents, only Obama will be a smudge on that line. We will not see another black(he's half white)President in America's existence.
The next black president ... will be a republican.
No, you’re wrong. I remember an article in 2000 in some mainstream newspaper—like the NYTimes or Washington Post—that reviewed the candidates in each party. At that time there were about 7 or 8 Republicans vying for the nomination. The article did about a paragraph on each candidate, and was fairly objective for a mainstream newspaper. But when it came to Keyes, they only mentioned his name in passing. No paragraph, not even a sentence was devoted to him. And that treatment continued through the convention. It was as if he didn’t exist. This is how the MSM handles a black conservative candidate. For them, this is political correctness. In my opinion, it’s the worst kind of racism.
LOL, what a great reply, thank you for choosing to deal with my rant with humor and sarcasm.
The hyphenated American stuff has been grating on me for a while though. I was talking with a friend about this very thing the other day. She says that she thought that people, such as people who are black or Mexican, or Irish, etc., considered it a sign of respect to be referred to in such a manner. I consider it bigoted and not showing respect due to the USA.
Why aren’t people called American Irish or American Africans? What would people like myself be labeled as, my earliest known ancestors arrived here from Ireland in the 18th century. Since then, there have been people from nearly everywhere in Europe, some blacks of uncertain heritage, Seneca’s and Mohawk Indians, and Russians.
We always call ourselves Southern Rednecks if we’re lucky, Northern Yankee’s if we’re not, but always first and foremost as Americans. We have too much family in the ground all over the world to do otherwise.
You put things anyway you damn well please, that’s your right as an American.
Knit picking Media isn’t going to work Giotto....people who make elections a race issue have not yet come into the current times.
Keep your eye on him. There’s only one poll that counts. He does need to do something to drum up some press though.
I have hated the term since first hearing it, that was many years ago
at 60 I have lived through about all of them, screw’em, if they are Americans say so, if not go back to your first choice
Not really. What the election of Obama has done is show that the emperor really has no clothes. That race and race issues is a one way street and only work so long as whites sit down and shut up. That most blacks, Hispanics and any other race is very racial at their core. It has allowed whites some sort of racial voice, a voice that has been beat down and dormant for a very long time, to speak up about all this racial BS that is being crammed down our throats all in the name of 'equality'. Non whites and Marxist have been using race as a battering ram for decades and it is only when whites say wait a minute that it becomes an issue. It is all good as long as it benefits non whites. A one way street that way too many whites have bought into. They welcome, or at the very least ignore the destruction of our culture, history and in fact of us all the while allowing and participating in the promotion of all other cultures and races.
If race is such a non-issue then lets do away with ALL race groups today.
If you don’t view things by race, then there was nothing to feel pride about. I knew Obama was a fraud, a communist, and someone who voted to allow babies to die on cold stainless steel operating room tables.
I felt nothing but disgust at his election.
This is not about any color......it’s about ending the corruption moogly the man child has started......it was the title that I was addressing not the color...
Who is going to have the courage to expose him. Someone in the media? Someone in the Dem party? Someone in the Republican party? Someone in Tea Party? Someone in the military? So far, all have failed.
When Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the United States, even those who opposed his liberal policies secretly had a fleeting moment of patriotic pride.
...........................................................
Is she crazy?? Pride?? I knew the day he was sworn in what we were facing. I worked in Washington DC under Marion Barry, I saw Atlanta, Philadelphia, Zimbabwe.
I knew we were in trouble from the start.I think in the back of their mind most Americans did, but hoped for the best. The best isn’t what we got.
