That violence has nothing to do with race. It is often people of the same race killing each other. Originally Posted by LazYes, black men killing other black men due to the things I listed!
I dont recall a sitting a governor Wagging a finger towards any president. Sorry COG you can't cover up the dissrespect displayed by Jan Brewer.
Also I dont recall any SOTU where the You Lie was yelled The republicans have been very disrespectful to the President and no way to dress it up. Originally Posted by Thatdude

Exactly, that is not at all what I said. I never said that racism, sexism, ageism or any other ism isn’t around. It will never disappear. It’s just the nature of man to judge. What I said is, let’s move along. The longer the bullshit race card is played, the longer there will be resentment towards race carders. Most people don’t have it against race, they have a rash on for race carders. Move along.
If you can’t move along from your race, try being a woman. Oppression due to race has been around since Colonial days. Oppression of women has been around since the dawn of time. And at that, without a specific protection under the Constitution we have closed the dollar gap significantly, albeit it mostly for the upper end of earners and beating your wife is finally illegal well kinda, but we’re getting there.
In Obama’s first run the race card was the elephant in the room that no one talked about. It was comical to watch the media dance around not saying anything about his race. It was like the ever-present elephant was interfering with their Obama-gasam. This time around, since he has no real record (other than healthcare which is in the courts and killing Bin Laden), and he’s not running against an even bigger looser – W, he’ll actually have to work for it. The race card will get played; it’ll get played big. Originally Posted by OliviaHoward

This picture has been brought up several times on this thread so I think it's substantive to the debate to some and open for discussion. I have taken the time to study it and Google the only video that I could find on the internets. What I'd like to ask is this:
He is a spoiled brat. He gets bent out of shape when he isn't treated as a super star. Originally Posted by texasjohn1965

As for Michelle's comment, would anybody have compained if nelson Mandela, or one of his kids, had said, on being made president, I am now proud of being south african? Even if he ddn;t say it, i'm sure he felt it. So Michelle's comment is very understandable.

WTF, how would you know they were shitty? have you been to that theater? He prolly had the best view, so he wouldn't be griping about that.

Auto Industry TARP
He has no real record Olivia really??? Olivia why don't you travel to any GM,Ford or Chrysler dealership and ask them how they viewed Obama and his policy towards the auto industry!!! Obama practically save the auto industry while you ha some Republicans who said the auto industry should just fail-keep in mind that if the auto industry would have been allowed to failed like some republicans wanted the UE rate would have been close to 20% because there are many other jobs that are directly and indirectly entwined with GM.
Oh and GM has repaid back their loans and what do you know- GM is the #1 selling car in the world- so Olivia tell the tens of thousands of auto-workers that Obama has no real record. Originally Posted by wellendowed1911
