Obamas campaign has degenerated into fodder for material for a blacksploitation movie.

Affirmative action was started by Nixon to counter democrat Wilson in 1912 for kicking out all blacks in federal jobs.

I''m guessing the majority here has NO problem with an NFL franchise being called the "REDSKINS"???????? In the nations capital no less.

How about a team called the "*****"...would that be ok.

From my standpoint it just goes to show that if you have the blessing of "white skin" priviledge you''ll never "GET IT".

people of color don''''t hate other people of color. darker people of color envy lighter people of color.

Google the black/white zebra thing and see for yourself...Blacks don''t accept them and whites don''t accept them...
And as far as the silly over the top fainting thing...That just gives credence to McCains "celebrity" commercial with hilton and spears...

The democrats started the KKK. The last 30-40 years democrats have controlled the inner-cities and they are still complaining about the same things. They were pro slavery then and still are.

"I am so very, very proud of my people," she said. "Although I know a lot have suffered way more than we have, it''s like having some kind of arriving."

How nice for her. If she was white she would be called a racist for that remark. Also, I wonder how she feels about her people arriving under the rule of Mugabe in Zimbabwe. Do you think the blacks call him a racist or is this not possible since he is black as well? If you took a boat to Africa today and said get on and come to America, work for me all your life and your decendants will be free to do as they please after the REAL Africans would be lining up quicker than the 100m Gold medal winner to get the hell out of Africa.

As a senator Kennedy voted against the 1957 civil rights act as did Al Gore''s dad. Kennedy was opposed to the 1963 march on washington organized by a black republican Phillip Randolph. Kennedy had his brother have MLK wiretapped and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a communist. Stop drinking the koolaid the dems have been serving you and wake up.

In many senses Kennedy was damned if he did and damned if he did not. If he helped the African Americans in the South, he lost the support of the powerful Democrats there. If he did nothing he faced world-wide condemnation especially after the scenes vividly seen in Birmingham.

Mcvet, get a book, one with words not pictures, on civil rights since 1859 and read it.

Don''t have to... You see unlike a 6th grade drop out like yourself I listened and learned in school. Now follow along with me here. When the Democrat Party pushed the Southern Fascist out, Tricky Dicky went down and cut a deal with them. THEY now reside in the Republican Party and control it. THAT''s common Knowledge. Liberal Republican''s like Lincoln, Roosevelt and so many others no longer reside in the GOP... In fact not many reside there anymore except extremist! Now let me hear ya... Tell you what IF you are really good, I''ll see if I can get you a Confederate Flag Pin!! Ready?? SIEG HEIL McBush ROFLMAO

I''ve noticed you fascist do this often. Is it that you think people do not read the post of the person you attempt to appear superior too? LOL Have any of you ever thought about addressing the position of the person posting? By the way, there''s a wave headed your way... you''d better be scouting around for a rock! SIEG HEIL McBUSH

In American football, the Washington Redskins were the last of the big teams to refuse to sign African Americans. Their stadium was federally funded and Kennedy ordered that they were no longer allowed to use the stadium and would have to find a new one. The team very quickly signed up African American players.

More on Kennedy:

Kennedy appointed his brother (Robert) as Attorney General which put him at the head of the Justice Department. Their tactic was to use the law courts as a way of enforcing already passed civil rights legislation. No southern court could really argue against laws that were already in print - though they were very good at interpreting the law in a cavalier way !! The Justice Department brought 57 law suits against local officials for obstructing African Americans who wished to register their right to vote.

What has he proven himself to lead? And for Kennedy who fought against civil rights in the 60''''s, you are in terrible need of some history lessons.

Posted by tothestars2 at 03:05 PM : Aug 28, 2008

Now sparky I don''t have to have a history lesson, I was there!! LOL You should ask Blacks about Kennedy as well. Now hold on to your swastika!! Tonight you and the fascist party are going to get a REAL lesson in why you shouldn''t win with hate.

Someone here believes Kennedy did nothing for civil rights.

Kennedy put pressure on federal government organisations to employ more African Americans in America%u2019s equivalent of Britain%u2019s Civil Service. Any who were employed were usually in the lowest paid posts and in jobs that had little prospect of professional progress. The FBI only employed 48 African Americans out of a total of 13,649 and these 48 were nearly all chauffeurs. Kennedy did more than any president before him to have more African Americans appointed to federal government posts. In total, he appointed 40 to senior federal positions including five as federal judges.
