WellHell3,

I know the Kumbayyah or We Are The World songs are nice and I''''d like to sing them too. However, reality says that racism IS still an issue. We are not that far out of the Civil Rights Movement...that pushed many people to switch parties because they didn''''t support it. In fact, the original race card playing of recent memory was Nixon''''s Southern Strategy.

We can bury our heads in the SAND about racism if we want to. We do the same thing related to Social Security, the end of oil, etc. It doesn''''t make it go away, but as long as you say it isn''t so, you can deny it.

WellHell3,

It would not be surprising as it is estimated that 30% of white Americans have a recent African ancestor. There was so much mixing during slavery and many of the slaves stopped looking black. They moved away from where they were from and lied about their background. Some that were a bit darker lied that they were mixed with Southern European ancestry or part Native American. It wouldn''''t be so shocking.

I''m sure there are, but I don''t think it''s true of those presidents back then.

It''s not the color or race of the man that makes him, it''s his ACTIONS!

Much to the chagrin of most of the Obscamma honkers, we are mixing more and more...and to the majority of Americans...nobody cares! And to promote otherwise is a total lie against the people of your country!

And to use racism for political gain is SCUM!

Bush-boy said that Iraqis would greet U.S. soldiers as "liberators." McCain''''''''s plan for Iraq is for the U.S. to continue to occupy the country for, in his words, "perhaps another 100 years." We''''''''ve already blown off over a half trillion dollars in Iraq. A 100 more years of this could get really expensive.

Money well spent! Saddam Hussein is gone, as well as 20,000 or so terrorists! Spend some more, let''s go the rest of ''em!

Irony. Some of the people who have been the biggest racists EVER are now worried about racism. Hilarious.

Hilarious isn''t it? And some can''t seem to see that Obscamma is one of them!

These people are complete idiots who know nothing of American history.


"Several presidents were allegedly of mixed European and African ancestry, which by U.S. reckoning would designate them as African-American. See The Five Negro Presidents by J.A. Rogers and Six Black Presidents: Black Blood, White Masks by Auset Bakhufu.

Thomas Jefferson
Andrew Jackson
Abraham Lincoln
Warren Harding
Dwight Eisenhower"

That''''s 3 Republicans and 2 Democrats!

You''re going to present this mess as TRUTH when it is written by somebody with the name Bakhufu?

I know the bull ***** about Jefferson is a total myth, and I suspect the rest is too!

But honk on! Who gives a *****! All these men are dead!

meanbiker,

Is this the first time you''re worried about having a racist president, because I figure we''ve already had more that were than not?

"Wow the McSame trolls are busy on this board are they not? deacon20081"

Didn''t you read? The McCain campaign is giving them points for postings! They can trade them in like Green Stamps! McCain even posts talking points they can cut and paste!

With all due respect, if a black man were to win the Presidency, whites would lose all control of the USA.

Are you ready for that??

======

If by "whites", you mean "Republicans", then yes, I''m ready for that.
If by "whites", you mean "selfish me-first types", then yes, I''m ready for that.
If by "whites", you mean "racists", then yes, I''m ready for that.

I have hope that Obama will lead a new trend of justice, hope, and cooperation.

YEAH, BUT..

PUT IT INTO PERSPECTIVE...

LIBERALS OF 200/100/ EVEN 50 YEARS AGO LOOK EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE TODAY BY COMAPRISON WITH THE MODERN LIBERALS OF 2008...

THE USA HAS GONE TOO FAR WITH LIBERALISM AND IT THREATENS TO DESTROY THE FABRIC OF OUR SOCIETY. LIBERALS ARE LITERALLY QUESTIONING OUR SOCIETY OUT-OF-EXISTANCE.

DON''T LIKE TRADITION? CHANGE IT. DON''T LIKE YOUR GENDER? CHANGE IT. DON''T LIKE UNEQUALNESS? CHANGE IT.

C''MON, DON''T BE DUMB... SLAVERY WAS BAD- SO WE CHANGED THAT. BUT ABORTION IS PRETTY BAD TOO- SO WHY ARE LIBERALS FOR IT? ETC.

"CHANGE" IS GETTING TOO FAST AND TOO SOON IN AMERICA...

THAT IS WHY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS DOOMED IN THE LONG-RUN -- EXTREMISM.

;)

This story has a distinct hint of the Rove odor. "A Race War" that''s what we need to tell the people!
Reminds me of Bush and his "Mushroom Cloud" Propaganda.

jMcGivray and Dashortround, while it was liberal ideals that drove our forfathers to fight for independence your lame attempt to somehow compare the modern American liberal to those from history is not true. Your opinion lacks perspective and the comparison is completely false.
