America's First Black President Seriously Damaging Race Relations

Me -- funny? I know I am but what are you?

Because he woke up this morning is not an answer. What has he done to you personally? and you say:

"He has single handed, divided this country on race" -- how so?

So let me get this straight-- Bush was going for peace and unity for all? Where were you during those enduring years?

Seriously, you should stop playing 'mind game' with Beck...(bad association)

smellit ....

guess your not a christian ?

yes Jesus really was a liberal..

He did say that if one were to follow him to give up ALL they had. He never said it was a sin to be wealthy but that the wealthy had a responsibility to take care of the poor , the sick , ect... not sometimes , not just at holidays either.

as for government ? he said render onto Caesar what is Caesars and onto God what is Gods. So when taxes are due ? don't belly ache. it's the price of caring for the poor ( since studies show we aren't charitable enough to do so all year round ) and it's the result of living in a structured society as we do. Don't like it ? Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you. And fyi taxes are lower now than they were years ago by far !! try looking up what the tax rates were during WWII and be thankful !

The Pharisees and those who rejected Christ and crucified him were the conservatives (conservatives love the death penalty). Christ was as liberal as you can get, and the righteous Christians, after Christ departed, practiced socialism. Acts chapter 4 details how the people "were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that bought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common" and "neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need."

I am not crazy nor paranoid and I do NOT hate the President, however, when I heard his speech to the Urban League proclaiming "better education for black, hispanic and American Indian children" it stopped me in my tracks. What about white, chinese and all other children? It would behoove our non-racial President to include ALL children for better education. And, what about the rant "we are free but not equal"?

"What about white, chinese and all other children?"

What about them? The president WAS addressing the urban league after all. Would you rather him speak in blank terms with no specifics?

I have no doubt that whatever president Obama says, wherever he may say it, and to whom he may address it will never be adequate for you.

"it stopped me in my tracks" LOLOL!! I am shocked...SHOCKED!!! that you found his speech inadequate. In fact, It stopped me in my tracks!! Hahahahahahahah!!!!

The Urban League is about hispanics and American Indians? Since when? So, it proves my point - so, if he was addressing a white group he would have only said "better education for whites"? But, since there is no such thing as an all white group...........oh, the KKK, but I doubt he would be addressing them.

Your continued effort to paint president Obama as somehow racially intolerant because he failed to mention every ethnic group known to reside in the U.S. is laughable. I laughed after it stopped me in my tracks.

As for "all white groups", they do indeed exist. The KKK, the White Aryan Resistance ( WAR ), The National Alliance ( another white supremist group ), and the Republicans in the Arizona State legislature: http://news.jornal.us/article-5005.NeoNaziAZ-GOP-connection-exposed-through-Racist-Anti-Immigrant-Law.html

Have you given any thought that maybe the reason the president said "better education for black, Hispanic and American Indian children" is because his administration has that as an educational goal?

No....you haven't.

How much of yours is he spreading?

Too much. He's spreading what little you have as well. I didn't vote for this Moron, You did. Sit back and watch the crash, It's coming soon. Oh, By the way, I would have voted for Condi Rice If She would have run so save your breath about racism.

I didn't call it racism, you did -- I call it IGNORANCE because that what it is when people refuse to understand things and people outside of their comfort zone and narrow vision.

Grasps the concept?

Tom

#7- So you must be in that 281 percentile which represents the top 1% of the nation. If not, you are being snookered and don't know it. You should do a whole lotta research my man...

Tom

In the event you have NO idea what I'm talking about, this should give you a clue. After viewing, put youself in the graft and see where you fit. Keep in mind, this is a study over the past 30 years, since 1979, Reagan came into office in 80. Do a google and see which party control congress the most during that time. Don't take my word... Investigate for yourself, you might wise up...

no Tom ... exactly how much of your wealth has Obama spread ?

you part of that top 10% ? quit yer whining. man up. pay your taxes which are far lower than those paid during WW2. those real Americans paid and didn't cry.

Well we will see if the tax cuts the middle class has had will stay! The demo several months ago stated they need the votes but they may not be able to continue the tax cuts for the dying middle class. Bills have to be paid, and we all know the rich have the means to jump thru the loopholes. That why a flat tax would get us all not just the middle. Quit acting like the rich are going to all these taxes...really you think with all their money they are going to pay taxes when they have the cpas and "deductions" to get them out of it thats funny, I have some land for you to...

Sure he "could". But unlike your beloved Bush...he wants everyone to have a decent life...not just the top 2%. You guys keep it up with the bashing...makes the Dems. look even better. Which they are..btw. The likes of Glenn Beck are fanning the hatred and bigotry in this nation. Let alone that blowhard Limbaugh!!

Excellent. FR on its way!!!

Sorry I do not agree with the racist part. That card is old and has been dealt to many times. Deflection

Kiss kiss baby....you are correct!

Kiss kiss baby....you are correct!

Mmmmmmm thank you zuzu. Great way to begin a a Sunday!

Goober is a good name for you. You are one. Have a nice day "Goober".

Goober is a good name for you. You are one. Have a nice day "Goober".

Thanks Tom, I like it too. I chose it to honor George Wahington Carver because I love peanuts.You might want to google his name you'll be surprised what you'll learn.

Do you guys really believe that we would want our Country to fall apart because we supposedly are hoping Obama fails cause he is half black? Get a life! That is a crazy premise. A lot of you just can't come up with anything better to say. And, I loved the one about Jesus being liberal! OMG

magnoliaave

"I loved the one about Jesus being liberal! OMG"

If the world had to place Jesus in one political camp, the facts definitely say he would be a "liberal", as opposed to a conservative. Not an independent, who is too timid to stick to any guns of conviction and runs to the middle in every discussion, not a conservative, who worships at the feet of golden calves ( The Bull / Bears of Wall Street ) but definitely a liberal. A person who is concerned about the less fortunate, the inequality of a tilted playing field, and the ravages of unfettered greed upon the masses.

Where would you place Jesus politicaly??

As a matter of fact magnolia, it is a declared goal of the right wing loudmouthed pundits and congressional leaders and many Viners, to do whatever it takes to make this president fail. You can live in denial but can't deny the monumental efforts by the notorious conservatives to come up with more despicable means to stop this administration from succeeding. Every day the fright right comes up with more contemptible efforts to destroy this President which directly impacts your quality of life.

You all have made up your own worlds. You are saying that conservatives are against the teachings of Jesus and you are so far from the truth. Only liberals help the poor, only liberals care about the weak, only liberals do good - bull! You use Jesus' teachings and most of you don't even believe in Him.

Do you guys really believe that we would want our Country to fall apart because we supposedly are hoping Obama fails cause he is half black?

Hmmm, let's take a stroll down history lane and listen into this Southerner in, oh say, 1859:

"Do you guys really believe that we'd plunge this country into civil war just because that Abe Lincoln fella wants to abolish slavery?"

magnoliaave

"Only liberals help the poor, only liberals care about the weak, only liberals do good - bull! You use Jesus' teachings and most of you don't even believe in Him."

Well....I guess we all know what you think of liberals, huh?

I'll ask you again: Take the typical well known conservative attributes and apply them to Jesus. I've done that with the typical well known liberal attributes, and so far...nothing from you.

C'mon......let's hear your version.

You can pull your head out from between your lehs now, Justin. Blowin' one's own horn ain't a pretty sight.

Yea, Justin, just like I don't read Soph's seeds any longer --a left wing nut!

goober

Why the slur against Justin?

I thought the same thing when I read the title, but couldn't guess which rightwingnut publication it might have been from.

I agree with your comments regarding how our first black president frightens conservatives like nothing else can, and I think Justin would agree, so I'm at a loss for why you'd attack his comment.

You owe him an apology.

I will now retreat to a neutral corner for a time out and most humbly apologies to Justin and everyone else for engaging my keyboard before my brain. And thank you for the heads-up AZPADDY. And yes I owe one to Justin!!!

If only politicians would follow your example!

:)

I agree it would be AZPADDY, however, I have long maintained and posted here on the vine and espoused to anyone who would listen. Why do we expect it from politicians what we don't expect of ourselves and our peers? Unless certain behavior or conduct has been criminalized there are no societal repercussions for immoral and unethical conduct.

Even a "broken" clock is right twice a day.

( just for the record.....:) )

But a broken record (the American Sphincter) isn't even right twice a decade.

That's easy. It's really just the one thing:

Being President While Black.

This is to no one in particular.........but you know who you are.

To you who are the most envious of all on here...you cant say it any clearer....you are racists.

What happened baby....did your woman ...or maybe dear old mom found love with a black man who treated her right? It happens....especially if it was running from someone who sounds like a real prick, who is all into himself, and against everything he doesnt know about that is good or different in the world.

It amazes me that anyone can not find a better life other than to hate a race. So they take so much time to try and trash other people and have not learned first to judge people on a one by one basis for the things they may have done to you personally ...then get past it,and try to be a decent human being.

I am a Psychologist , and have worked with people for 33 years...and yet have always wondered about certain types of people. not related, living miles apart,not influenced by each other , yet they have the same illness of the mind that makes them say, act, behave like sub humans....with no concept of the fact that all people ...in fact all animals too have compassion, understanding, kindness, and a need to embrace all living things.

But the sect you seem to belong to is unfeeling, and very bitter toward people you don't even know.

You classify in your mind that there is a problem you can not conquer so instead of simply leaving a puzzle unsolved ...and accepting that....you hate the puzzle. You can not accept that you are the misfit, but others see it and it leads to a very unhappy life for you.

Except for those who share your ignorance you have no other peers and lose out on a lot of quality life. If only for the purpose of education one should examine and learn the good in everything as well as the bad...yet the select group you belong to is incapable of doing that. For it is a choice you make...and you actually feel justified.

Some of the people you hate live a substandard life style, which in fact is not their choice...but it is all they have. They see what others have and long for it too, but be it the area and it's economy,or the lack of education, or poverty or because there is nothing they can do about it....it is not a great life, and hatred is not something they need to top it off.This applies to so many whites too.

You have my sympathy, but no understanding of those who don't want to learn or ever accept what they can not change. I would spend the rest of my life...from 80 on.... to try and find a way to see what makes you tick...but..alas I simply do not care... I accept that you are a freak of nature ..perhaps not of your own free will...or choice. I have learned long ago to ignore the possibilty that you will change and I go forward in my life. I know most blacks do not give you or your opinions a thought ....and it is your loss.

You know something ? They don't even want you in their lives. Who does?

I do not write this because I have a need to try to change you ..or answer you back...but perhaps it is of benifit to someone else to think about all of what I have to say who does want to learn more.. This old Dalmation still responds to the firebell of worldly ignorance.....and run off to the fire alarms of human frailties....in the hope that just one other person learns something.

The friendship requests I get tells me it works!

OH dear God!! What have the white folks done to improve anything that isn't white?

In my opinion...racism/bash Obama is a stupid fad that is taking over the right. You know..lets all swoon for American Idol finalists..movie stars. Lets all get skinny and get buns of steel...lets all talk trash about the Congress and President. This country needs to GROW UP!!

Not too long ago...it wasn't proper to bash the sitting President. But I guess if he is a black man..."fair game"? Jim Crowe would be so proud of you rightwingers!!!

American Thinker, Faux News..News Max...........all the same ilk.

Have you noticed, though, that most of the people he hired when he became president was black? Interesting huh?

Hmmm and did you notice that most of the people President Bush and prior Presidents hired were white? Very interesting!

What' really going on?

Ohhh how profound! Nobel prize for literature? ...Never ...

Most of the people president Obama hired were black? I have looked at the picture of Obama's Cabinetand if you count POTUS himself you have four (maybe five if one of the women is light complected). I had never looked at who the president picked before based on race I had always looked at skill. It turns out there are 4 not including the president. I guess we don't ever check our opinions against facts as that would just be crazy that our opinion could be wrong; that we could be wrong.
