Primarily the significance of never electing another politician based on affirmative action or because it’s “historic” because the results will likely be as bad as what we’re currently experiencing.
Vote based on merit and a history of adherence to the Constitution.
I disagree.
Obastard’s entire political career has been handled, massaged, funded and pushed by the likes of Ayers, Farrakhan and other hardcore leftists, racists and Moslems. He was enthusiastically endorsed by the CPUSA.
The propaganda they created fooled idiots into voting for him. The reason Hitlery backed out is because of death threats and actual hits against Gwatney and a news woman. And dirty tactics at the state Dem level. (I loathe Hitlery as much as I loathe 0bastard, just to make it clear.)
And without voter fraud, he might not have won the first time, and certainly would not have won the second time, despite the elites forcing Romneypuke down our throats.
While I disagree with Obama’s politics it is still very significant in US history for a black man to become president in the USA. In living memory the african american was openly discriminated against as a matter of law in many states.
It is perfectly understandable, to me anyway, that there would still be animosity due to the way in which they suffered not so long ago in our country.
Are you serious? That there is LEGITIMATE and therefore UNDERSTANDABLE animosity amongst black people because of SLAVERY? Or being discriminated against legally which stopped in the mid 1960’s? IOW you are swallowing racist/leftist horse crap.
The one and only reason black people have animosity is because it’s been drilled into them since infancy by leftists, the Dems, the leftist controlled governemnt/education system and the like.
You are assuming the purported parents of 0bastard are his actual parents.
Wrong assumption.
It is a huge hoax. And Arpaio and Zullo’s upcoming press conference will be very interesting.
I suspect Obama's 'chip on the shoulder' thing will bring about real discussions on race in the coming years AND an end to affirmative action. In the long run that will be best for all races living in the United States. Obama and Holder being jerks will help all of us in the long run... odd as that might sound.
I think you’re finding conspiracies where they aren’t.
Obama leveraged Hillary’s unpopularity, donors’ desire for a sharp contrast with George Bush, and a massive black turnout in primaries and caucuses to edge out Hillary for the nomination. He got lucky that the economic crisis and the Palin debacle ended up making McCain look like Mr. Wrong to swing voters, added in that same massive black turnout, et voila.
Of course Obama got the position to run for President with the help of long-term backers, some of them very distasteful. ANYONE who rises from the middle class to the Presidency does so with the help of powerful and effective friends and sponsors who talent-spotted them very young. Clinton’s backers did more for him sooner and boy, some of them probably would make you take another look at Bill Ayers in terms of the quality of their character.
The “nice smart young black man” moment in time is one that wasn’t even necessarily going to be Obama’s. If Cory Booker had been able to beat Sharpe James four years earlier, he would have become Governor of New Jersey in 2005 rather than Corzine, and more likely him that Obama to have had that moment.
You haven’t been reading the right threads.
I'd agree with you if we were but one generation removed from slavery or even the era of the democrat imposed Jim Crow laws. What bothers me is the process of unraveling much of the civil rights abuses that once existed that I lived through and helped work for in the 60's. During my college years in the late 60s and in the south we experienced a great social revolution, as most people know. And during that time there was an aggressive movement towards a color blind society.
I sincerely feel that we were very close to letting old ways die with the cold hearted hangers on of a generation that needed to become a part of our history, not our future. But, the opportunists that saw money to be made and power to be gained like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Shiela Jackson-Lee stepped up and exploited their own people for the purpose of personal gain. In the process they set relations back and opened the door for charlatans like Barack and Michelle Obama to play a duplicitous game of political espionage against the people they claim to have compassion for.
Similar to what herpes did for sex.
They would NOT like the way I would teach it.
I like that analogy.
Its fascinating to me that you don’t see how an african american man who lived through the discrimination that only ended in the 1960’s would not still harbor animosity today. Nor how his son, having heard what his father lived through from his fathers on lips might still be up set about it.
Why is reality a threat to your positions ?
A great idea!
It would simply underscore that the worst stereotypes about the criminal bent of the "movin' on up" president, and the negative consequences, and his African tribal administration were --- if anything --- grossly underestimated.
No amount of propaganda can trump reality.
It's not like they have the ability to do anything about it.
It is what it is!
The mid 60s were 50 years ago. Black people today are trained from infancy, as I noted, to hate white people and blame all suffering and misery and failure and white peoples’ mistreatment of them.
This is all fiction. But it’s instilled in them for now 50 years since legal racial discrimination. So the reason why any black people feel hatred or vengefulness towards whites, or feel that they are victims, is because of propaganda, and not because they themselves have actually suffered at the hands of bigoted white people.
Why is fact a threat to your position?
And even if an elderly black person who suffered from racial discrimination when it was legal still harbors hatred, there is something really wrong with his character. Anyone who holds grudges for something that happened 50 years ago has a miserable consciousness.
I’m not referring to crimes, vicious torture or anything like that, but separate water fountains, signs saying “no blacks can apply/are served here” etc.
I’m amazed that you think that people who may have suffered legally 50 or more years ago are now justified to hate white people who have not caused the discriminatory laws.
Just wow.
Your viewpoint is exactly why one group of people slaughter another group of people, just because one group’s grandfathers were cruel to the other group’s grandfathers.
And any discriminatory laws were not written or voted on by anyone alive now, unless there are a few ancient state legislators around they can get angry at. Or US congressmen, in the case of discriminatory fed law.
What do you want me to think, in order not to be a “bigot” in your eyes? That I should like affirmative action? Welfare for ever? Lie on the street and let angry black people beat on me? What payment should I suffer due to the discriminatory acts or words of OTHER PEOPLE - not me - 50 and more years ago?
