Re: Obama elected in my microcosm

I don't like Ralph Nader. His name sounds too much like a certain character from a certain 70-80s multi-oscar winning film.

Re: Obama elected in my microcosm

I hate to say it but the biggest enemy of the black race in america is the black culture thats sold to them through hip hop and shit, trying to be all gangster and repping the hood and shit like that. It just puts more blacks in jail and then they have less votes thus less say in our political process. Plus the CIA pretty much fucked them when they introduced crack in the 80's.

I never said white guilt was unjustified.

Making decisions based on race, however...

No, I disagree; the police and unjust drug laws do that for them, for the most part.

Yes you might not buy into it but you can't tell me their arn't some who buy into it. Good thats what everyone regardless of race should be striving for, to better the situation for themselves(and ideally everyone else).

Why do people "rep there hood"? I don't care all what the name of my street is. Oh shit ironwood what what!

Re: Obama elected in my microcosm

I have done nothing wrong to black people, so why should I feel guilty?

Of course I am not saying that the majority of white folks do not feel guilty. I'm quite sure they do.

From what I see, the things that keep the black man down are still coming from the white man. An outrageously overwhelming population of our prisons is consisted of minorities. Welfare breeds dependency, and with all of those black people in prison how can they step away from those checks? Half of these families don't have proper role models because the police threw their fathers in prison for having a little bit of whatever.

Now, to make people feel guilty for your position in life is just ludicrous. I don't care what hood you are from, there is someone out there who has it worse off than you do. Think about the real Africans who don't even have clothes or food.

I feel bad for any black person who actually think that Obama is helping them.

We are all born into this world with different scenarios. Some of us have hundreds of thousands of dollars in trust funds from our rich grand parents, while some of us have nothing at all, but there is nothing that can not be overcome.

Re: Obama elected in my microcosm

Without a doubt the race card was a big play in the last Presidential election. It seemed like people were so concerned with reaching the "First African-American President" milestone that they disregarded his presidential merits, policies, experience and voting record... or lack thereof. I don't personally give a rat's ass about what skin pigment our President has so long as they're a good person for the job as I perceive it... Though I don't think this trend came from 'guilt', per se, but more some kind of fanatic zeal to see a black President in office, a zeal which was certainly perpetuated by the MSM.

To me race is as pointless as everything else that people love to cling to which separates them from others. Political parties, religion, ethnic background, geographical location, sexual orientation... What does any of this have to do with the ability to think rationally and intelligently? Nothing. So why does it matter? It doesn't.

Yeah because of all the rappers who push that kind of lifestyle man. They get money, women and drugs, obviously someone else somewhere is going to want that to. Thats how it starts

Re: Obama elected in my microcosm

Obama is pure hollywood and imo thats why he got elected...
He is good looking, charming and a master of the media..

Compare that to the other choice given to people..
An old man speaking the same ol crap as the retarded cowboy before him..
Palin would have won the election imo if she had been on top of the ticket with McCain as no.2..
The US was crying out for change and Obama was the man..

I dont think guilt had that much to do with it..
Obama was the cool guy and people like to be on the cool guys team..

Re: Obama elected in my microcosm

I doubt any kind of guilt was the reason Barack won, I say it was the exact opposite. I saw a lot of openly racist perspectives from the general public, I never recalled seeing THAT much. I never heard anyone say something like "He shouldn't be qualified because he's a black man, but because he's muslim" "Muslims (or Kenyans) are terroists".

I know some of you are gonna flip your shit when I say this... but even SOME BLACK FOLKS didn't want to see him as president... lol.

I was leaning towards Ron Paul from the start, McCain was my tax bracket, but then when Sarah Palin jumped on the scene I became really scared.
