Tuesday

[Black-Francis]

And in your mind she specifically wished that because he's black, right?

Because she's never made an inflammatory comment about a white politician, right?

How about you believe what you want to believe and I will believe what I want to believe......You can't seriously tell me she/it made her "######" six letters for a reason. At least admit she/it was trying to be controversial with that statement.....Hey hats off to her/it....It worked!

IF you're not a liberal, then you shouldn't take offense when I make a general observation *about* liberals, because I'm obviously not talking about you.

Right?

I'm not gay but I take offense when people use teh word ###. I'm not black but I get offended when people use ######. I'm not arabic, but I get offended when people use the term raghead.

But I can see how it works. So long as the people you are offending aren't around, it makes it ok to generalize and use #### logic to encompass a large group.

That's pretty funny. Anything else about me you want to conjecture?

I love you!

As Inauguration day approaches, I seem to feel a sense of apathy. Tuesday means nothing to me and I really don't plan on watching any of the events scheduled for that day.

What are your plans for Tuesday?

I didn't plan on going but I was offered decent tickets to the swearing-in so I'm going for that and I'm going to get to watch as the Obama's escort Former President (to be) and Laura Bush to the helo at the east side of the Capital for their farewell. After that, it's back to the Metro.

I find it sad that a racial slur is the only 6-letter word you know.

Anyway, I was kind of excited about a black president if for nothing else than it would shut up the baiters who insist that America is filled with KKK members and blacks can never achieve against racism.

Now I realize that we will not be able to criticize Obama for anything he does, like we would a white president, because said screamers will STILL cry racism.

So I'm totally over the history of this election and don't find it to be much of an accomplishment, since the race hustlers have convinced me that it's not.

Vrai:

Come on! You honestly were excited about a black president because you thought (and cared?) that extreme positions on race would be abated?

As far as President-elect Obama, your statement is interesting in that it come from the negative vs. the positive. What is your position on those who would applaud the accomplishments of Mr. Obama? Do you think they are only applauding because of his color? Again, I think your views are based on observations of extremist positions vs. a consideration of a majority opinion.

Lastly, (slapping you to your senses) I know you are a strong enough individual to withstand these extremists and look at the accomplishments of this nation. It doesn't matter whether you supported Mr. Obama. What matters is that in your lifetime and mine we have come from a nation where people of color have come from the back of the bus to the head of state. That is a journey worth recognizing and applauding. Not as African Americans, Irish-Americans, or any other hyphenated American but as AMERICANS!

Why didn't it put an "F" at the beginning of ######......It knew what it was doing.....Come on Vrai, I am not stupid!

....name me some more bad words with 6 letters.

why not put an n?

I have never seen you defend someone so much.....Are you sure you are not Sonsie?

That's my whole point.....It did not add a letter because it wanted to be controversial.....

....please name me more six letter words that are derogatory and need to be "bleeped"......

Backatcha!

You must be a good bit older than I am, because I do not remember a time when blacks did not have the same opportunities as whites. The black kids in my kindergarten class - yes, that would be when I was 5 years old - drank from the same water fountain as the white kids and used the same restroom, not to mention ate in the same cafeteria, and none of us thought a thing about it. And I find it hard to believe that Lincoln, NE was the *only* non-racial city in America.

What is your position on those who would applaud the accomplishments of Mr. Obama? Do you think they are only applauding because of his color?

If a white man had accomplished what Obama has accomplished, would it be noteworthy?

There's your answer.

 

[vraiblonde]

....please name me more six letter words that are derogatory and need to be "bleeped"......

You will notice that the "censored" letters are x - the system filter uses #. So Sonsie obviously self-censored and the filter didn't do it for her. That 6-letter word could be literally anything.

But you feel free to believe what you want. I'll just point and laugh.

Obama is white as well.....so the answer is yes.

honestly
I also saw the n word.
but I also realize thats more on me than it is on her.

personally though, I dont care what color he is, I do however care about his political thoughts, and for that reason and that reason only I can not fall behind him and worship.

I did however cast a vote for Allen Keyes way back when he was trying his hand at the presidential run. Problem with him that I saw?
1) he was republican and would never gain the democrat vote.
2) he was black, and would never gain 100% of the republican white vote.

why I honestly think obama won? (remember, he had no track record, good or bad)
1) he was democrat and easily took the dem vote because of it.
2) he was black and easily took the majority of the non dem or on the line black voters
3) he was black and he certainly took the vote from the guilty whites that wanted to prove they were not racist.

those that voted against him did so for one of two reasons.
1) hes black.
2) his political ideals.

a certain degree of racism is natural I think, owning your opinion and being willing to discuss it vs hiding it is the difference.

Ok.....keep telling yourself that.....I know you are not stupid Vrai!!!

We all already know how much hate Sonsie is capable of......so if that's what you want to think....so be it!!

.

Really? I remember that when I was in the 2nd grade schools were integrated. I remember the buses pulling up with all of those new black kids. I remember how afraid I was.

Opportunity most definitely changed in my lifetime and I am a good bit younger than you.
