Obama's positive message of Race Relations. Yes we can!

"MIKE HUCKABEE: There are two different stories -- one is Obama’s reaction, the other one is the Rev. Wright’s speech itself. And I think that, you know, Obama has handled this about as well as anybody could. And I agree, it’s a very historic speech. I think that it was an important one and one that he had to deliver, and he couldn’t wait. The sooner he made it, maybe the quicker that this becomes less of the issue. Otherwise, it was the only thing that was the issue in his entire campaign. And I thought he handled it very, very well.

And he made the point, and I think it's a valid one, that you can't hold the candidate responsible for everything that people around him may say or do. You just can't -- whether it's me, whether it's Obama, anybody else. But he did distance himself from the very vitriolic statements."

Way to go MIKE!

The fact is NO politician has ever has made such an enlightened speech on race relations. A new generation is challlenging the old tired status quo.

their both aliens, look at the ears

Yes we can talk about what pisses us off,,, Dont be afraid, there is alot to go around...

By the time it's all said and done, the Klinton's will have Hussein thrown under a bus.

This whole damned mess is just heatin' up!

Make your anger personal. No need to spout off statistics. Yeck!

I was robbed of my fire crackers by 2 or 3 indians when I was 10 years old.

Once I was riding my bicycle in a black neighborhood, and was almost run over by a black kid on his bicycle, only because I was white.

Ever since I have held a distrust for indians and blacks.

Funny,,,, white people have screwed me all over this side of Sunday, yet I dont distrust them...

Yep, the ol status quo being the entitlement of an entire segment of society to be openly racist, while the others are called racists...

Enlightened??? That was a "How do I salvage my political career speech". Oh, I got it. I will throw my white grandmother under the bus and state that she represents the average white person...

I am glad as hell that all this stuff came to light. Now the are starting to wake up and they are pissed...

Were you personally discriminated against? Is that why you are angry? Or is it because ou preceive discrimination? Explain your anger, citizen.



It is my opinion it was enlightened, yes. Most definately the first time it has been duscussed on the national stage, especially by a presidential candidtae. Do you think the media will expose it?, do you think the other candidtaes will weigh in? Will you?

catchy song... were you at that demonstration? Are you eating Hash, while black people eat T-bones? Is that what you see?

It seems whites are better at complaining.

Any African Americans out there?

Exposed. The dream is over.

This is your chance, citizens. Show what GLP is made of. Lead the way. Take that first baby step...

It's either love your neighbor, or the way of eternal hell and damnation.

What?

No doubt these folks were also men or women. Do you distrust them too?

We were kids. but memories are strong, especially when it is reinforced by your buddies...

We all become adults.

But what's your anger, citizen?

I LIKE YOUR STYLE OP. I'm with you!

Uh, my anger doesn't have to do with race because I don't judge people solely based on their skin color or nation of origin. But I did not have the same childhood experiences as you I guess.

Well then take a seat, citizen. Try not to provoke anybody with your perfection...

I didn't say I was perfect. I sad that my anger/distrust did not stem from racial issues. I did not say that I was without anger or distrust.

But for the record, I think he's doing more dividing than bringing together.

well maybe I am too harsh on you. You can still participate by relating any experience you have had with other races...

What impressed you, positively or negatively...

I wont judge you, I promise...

White men are the most supressed. Obama will just make it worse. Black, Hispanics and white women have it easy. I remember seeing a newpaper articale in my local paper. We want you for the NCPD (nassau county police department) if yur black hispanic or a women. Affirmitive action with everything else black and other minorites have.

When whites are the minority do you reall expect blacks and hispanics to be nice to us like we are to them? I doubt it. Whites won't have affrimative action, welfare,etc.

I know a NYPD cop he told me a story about how a black guy in the ghetto had 7 kids and they live in a shithole. Yet the nigger dad come in with a fur coat gold and a escalde in the drive way. The cop asked how he got all that stuff he repiled "welfare nigga, I get koney fromt the government for my kids I might have a few more." Cops said why don't you just get a job. The black guy said i didn get no ejamacation so i sell rocks. That is a true story the cop told me himself.

Hey, there you go. Whiney white men piss me off.

You are splitting hairs as far as I can see. You're sngry, brother. So you can sit with the best of us....

First of all, this isnt a thread ABOUT Obama but about race relations...

Please express your "non-racial" anger or (inpiration) around that.

Okay?

There were plenty of bitching Africans in that video. They actually tried to intimidate a white neighborhood where two black criminals were shot by a white guy. Didnt work out too well for them. Google "Joe Horn Pasadena"

We have many very intelligent, hard working, well dressed, respectable african american men working for our company. They blow any stereotypes out of the water.

Try to keep the expletives to a minimum, please.

It seems you are basing your anger on hearsay and unrealistic hypotheticals.

Have you any earthy first hand accounts to share with us?

Okay. So what was the message those marchers were giving to that neighborhood. And why?

Obama is all rhetoric. What the hell does he think ht's going to do about race relations? He hasn't seen the inside of a ghetto except from behind the tinted windows of his limo.

Race relations need to be solved on an individual basis.
I don't want this poseur's hands in every single moral issue which will just lead to more laws, more taxes, and less freedom.
We don't need more laws. We simply need fair enforcement of what already exists. No special exemptions for celebrities or wall street bankers.

Which marchers the black ones or the white ones from the neighborhood?
