so glad I wasnt a negro living in the jim crow days,,,,so glad my parents and grandparents survived it and taught me about survival as a result,,, Try being opposite of black in these Obama days explain what its like? did OBama send out a memo to make people start behaving differently towards each other? when you go into establishments are they suspicious you may steal, do they follow you around? when you talk about gun ownership or how many guns you have do people immediately assume you are a felon? When you have voted for the past several presidents were you accused of doing it ONLY because of their race? do whites no longer hold 90 percent of tenured faculty positions and receive 94 percent of government contracts? are white men with high school diplomas no longer more likely to be hired than black men with college degrees? are white men with criminal records no longer more likely than black men without to be called back for job interviews? are white youth no longer less likely to be arrested and incarcerated for drug use than black youth? tell me what has become so bad for NON whites in this past 18 months?

so glad I wasnt a negro living in the jim crow days,,,,so glad my parents and grandparents survived it and taught me about survival as a result,,, Try being opposite of black in these Obama days Shoot, white folks have absolutely no clue what it is like to be discriminated against for their skin color. It would be an interesting social experiment to see how they would act in that scenerio. I bet it wouldn't bode well for whoever the dominant race was But yet they expect and demand to be able to do it to other races even today. I don't care what the rules of this site are whether or not this is taken as an insult or whatever... Your own personal ignorance knows no limits! Some of us have lived the nightmare of reverse racism and yet you choose to believe it never happens. You refuse to listen. You are as much a part of the problem as anyone guilty of really being racist! Is this what you see when you look at your fellow white person??? This is what you make yourself out to look like in this fray... You sure generalize pretty mean!

And he is doing everything to make this a depression. Please do remember what FDR tried to do and look at the parallels. You can not throw money at this problem especially when we do not have it. Also social programs more often than not fail and have money siphoned off of them by profiteering politicians and their friends! $50 billion MORE on top of a huge deficit to Union Jobs to rebuild our infrastructure? Why not save us some money and mobilize the Army Corps of Engineers and let them do the work. That is what they are for! Union Labor is a HUGE money bleed!

I personally think that there should be a time limit for anyone on welfare. Same thing goes for unemployment. There are tons of jobs out there, even if they are working in a fast food restaurant. I don't believe that anyone should be paid to sit at home. I also support the drug tests for those on welfare along with mandatory birthcontrol. If you can't support the ones you have then you should be having anymore. I think the idea of housing for those that continue to stay unemployed and on welfare is a good idea. Just my opinion. Valid opinion...you are speaking about China right? To the topic, I heard a candidate in Florida said the same T-baggery thing last week. Egads~!!!! hmmm, tea baggin' now there is a way for them to make some extra cash on the side. Wonder if they can buy that with food stamps.

Obama stopped us from going into depression, hopefully. In my opinion it is funny to see simpy white folks talk about being discriminated against in a country that has been completely controlled by whites for whites the majority of the two hundred years it has been here. Let some white folks take the kind of discrimination that has been dealt out to non whites by whites in this country and they would be ready to kill everyone. White folks in this country have absolutely no understanding of what it is like to be a non white in this country and yet they speak up on it all the time, making themselves look foolish.

Obama has done this country good and will continue to be a good leader for the time he is here. He has shown to me that he was worth the vote.

You just love preaching the same ignorance as Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton, Don't Cha? So when are we going to have to wear badges identifying us as the disenfranchised population like Hitler did to Jews and Homosexuals in the 1930s? You are just so out to give us a taste of "our own" medicine. Damn if you are just not one of the most ignorant people I have met yet! Your very words mark you as one of the very same people who keeps drawing the "Us and Them" lines. You make these animals look a lot more civil and smarter than you come off... repeatedly. Us White Folk? Oh Yes MA'AM! Shall I dance a happy little jig for you too? Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbtttttttt! Howz about i get the horse and carriage from around the back Ma'am? Hiyuck! Uh hu hu hu hui hu! What?!?! I'm White? AH DAMN! NO MORE WELFARE CHECKS FOR ME!

welfare is not race specific, it is INCOME specific as to the rest, while I dont always agree with the approach, Dragoness point is valid and logical there are SOME white folks who feel they know about being 'black' in America to the point that they will actually tell actual black people what black people think or how black people feel or how black people act many non muslims do the same to muslims many non christians do the same to christians which is, of course, as silly as me insisting that I know as well or better than a man what its like living as a man....

You dare attempt to validate that ignorance? PISHAW! EVERYBODY THINKS THEY KNOW HOW THE OTHER GUY LIVES!!!! I can clearly see two people that dearly need to get over themselves. There are always some simps who will take advantage of anything. look at all those Katrinians who had to be evicted from the FEMA temporary housing after living in it for FOUR YEARS! Look at how many Katrinains got boob Jobs, new Escallades, all kinds of groovy consumer goods and yet DID NOT USE THE MONEY TO RELOCATE OR FIX THEIR HOMES! the statistics did not lie as well as the investigations into the matter. There were whites in the mix but a larger number of them were BLACK people milking the system. Racist is me forcing Black people to adopt my life style, choice of music, and religion, jobs and a host of other things. Frankly if Rap is their thing groovy. I could care less. I don't like Rap but I ain't trying to impose a Prohibiton against it. I don't care how they want to live as long as they are contributing something to our lives besides a ghetto attitude, committing crime, and a open hand demanding their welfare check! God what ignorance! You set your own arguments WAY Back with this one statement! How do I know about living in Black America? I GREW UP IN IT! I am so tired of hearing all these pseudo intellectuals and their wannabe intellectual diatribes of the flaws in society! Wanna see me get all back to my roots here? I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks among BLACKS in a community that turned black around me! There was no love for my whiteness. Don't take me for some hillbilly from the Ozarks! I grew up in LA and seen a lot of **** that never makes the news. You and dragoness are tag team dummies! You will never admit all the ideals you two hold are doomed to fail to human nature! HOLY SHART! Valid AND Logical? By what fallacious reasoning do you come to that conclusion? And you act like most of us are just picking on Blacks? WHITE TRAILER TRASH MAKES IT A POINT OF GETTING FREE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT THROUGH WELFARE! THEY LEARN TO MANIPULATE THE SYSTEM JUST LIKE MANY BLACK PEOPLE DO! I KNOW PEOPLE WHO DO THIS FROM SEVERAL RACIAL DEMOGRAPHICS! IF ALL THESE POOR PEOPLE SPENT AS MUCH ENERGY TRYING TO FIND A JOB RATHER THEN SPEND THEIR TIME TRYING TO GET EXTENSIONS ON THEIR HAND OUTS AND BLAMING EVERYTHING AROUND THEM (ECONOMY, POLITICS, THE WHITE MAN) FOR THEIR FAILURE TO FIND WORK THEY WOULD HAVE JOBS BY NOW! So could the two of you please do us all a favor and come up with a real valid argument or just SHUT UP already? The proof of my arguments is right in front of you and the two of you REFUSE to acknowledge it! All you can do is refute me with snitty little comments with no substance. Suddenly the issue of the poor breaks down to racism? GET OVER YOUR SELVES PLEASE!

You lived in black america? how outrageous,, you lived in a black COMMUNITY as a white person,, that is not a BLACK AMERICA and I will not shut up,(must have touched a nerve) but to be honest, it is YOUR post that correlated race with poverty,,,,remember this 'What?!?! I'm White? AH DAMN! NO MORE WELFARE CHECKS FOR ME! ' apparently SOME people do correlate welfare to race,,,and I am not one of them as I was correcting that racist correlation,,, REMEMBER THIS? ' I don't care how they want to live as long as they are contributing something to our lives besides a ghetto attitude, committing crime, and a open hand demanding their welfare check! ' ARE THESE THINGS THAT ONLY BLACK PEOPLE DO? I am not snitty, nor a dummy, but your posts paint you as a scorned man with a limited view of life, based only in the ONE community of black people you grew up around,,,, I have been black all my life, raised by black people, lived in many BLACK communities and been to many events, traveled in circles with black people and attended occasions with BLACK people,,, however you wish to assert some superior knowledge about 'BLACK' people based upon your isolated experiences around some of them it falls very short to my experience BEING one of them. Not once have I been here belittling white people or any other as a group of people, not once have I claimed some special knowledge about what people not like me are like(people who are white, or male, or catholic, for instance). The name calling and the presumptuous statements posted in these threads is NOT representative of most people I know in real life, thank God. Most people I know, black, white, and other are decent and trying to do the best for their family and make no blanket assumption about any who reach out for help,, I was not raised with such arrogance, but perhaps that makes me an exception for a black woman,,, since you learned so much about us in that ONE community,, why dont you tell me?
