While I am no fan of racist right wingers I have to call you on saying they are the only ones for which race is a factor.

There are plenty of liberals, blacks, latinos and people of all other races and parties who are racists.

It is unfair and just plain wrong to say white republicans are the only ones talking about race in this election year.

That maybe but they aren't the one
saying ignorant racist things at present.

The Powell endorsement has put the final nail in the McCain coffin.

And the best part is, Powell is a Republican.

McCain tried to shrug it off today as no big deal but the fact of the matter is, McCain was really hoping Powell would endorse him.

Too bad, so sad.

Okay,I have to raise this point.

While I hate that one American would say it about another American "kill him" is not racist. It is violent, criminal and objectionable but it is not racist.

I am sorry Lynann, but the extreme emotional response is in fact because of his race. I don't remember this type of behavior happening in anyother election. do you?

I agree Lynann.It's more of a propaganda thing but I do feel if they could get away with "uppity you know what" they would say it.

:smile:Darlin, the basic point Im trying to make is that 99% of the time these people are the ones labeling THEMSELVES as being rascist by their own words.:smile:

I might vote for him because he was a General in the Army, BUT not if he's on the democrate ticket..


My Lord!!! He's 71 years old, he could die tomorrow!

Isn't that what they say about McCain?


If Obama is elected, will blacks stop asking for 40 acres and a mule? Will the NAACP go away? I mean once a black man has achieved the highest position in the Country, will all this talk about unfairness to blacks go away?

Or will some blacks still continue to use their color as a crutch?
surprisedThere are sooooooooooooooooo many things wrong with what you just said historically and factually.slapheadWhy dont you stop using your race as a crutch?spockYou white republicans are the ones who keep talking about race.slapheadIts all you.shadesIf you dont wanna be called a rascist then stop saying rascist things.shadesIts just that simple.shadesI dont know why you people cant understand that.spock Its all about race with you people but Obamas supporters represent the diversity of America.biggrinYou folks are the ones being racial.:laughing: Nobody is labeling you right wingers as rascist except your own words.bigsmile Your labeling yourselves.laugh


Again, Outstanding job!!!:thumbsup:


Come on white people follow me!

Here are the lyrics of Ludacris' Obama Song

I'm back on it like I just signed my record deal
Yeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet, it got sex appeal
Never should have hated
You never should've doubted him
With a slot in the president's iPod Obama shattered 'em

Said I handled his biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer
Better yet put him in office, make me your vice president
Hillary hated on you, so that ***** is irrelevant

Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
If you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!
And all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my man

You can't stop what's bout to happen, we bout to make history
The first black president is destined and it's meant to be
The threats ain't fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
So get off your ass, black people, it's time to get out and vote!

Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified
McCain don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and I throw 'em like candy wrap
'cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents

Get out and vote or the end will be near
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!
'cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!
