some people do some of everything

some hate OBama for doing the same things as other presidents before him did without earning the same type of hatred

SOME have that hypocritical and extreme difference in PERSONAL VIRULENCE Against him, with the only difference being his RACE

,,if that reality causes some to become defensive,, perhaps they should do some inner soul searching as to why....

just a suggestion


Oh?

What other president criticized conservatives as bitterly clinging to their guns and Bibles?

What other president has told people who started their own businesses "You didn't build that"?

What other president signed into law legislation that had absolutely no bipartisan support?

What other president keeps promoting legislation that has cost people their insurance policies?

Have you really eliminated the possibility that something other than racism is driving the opposition to President Obama's policies?


what other president criticized single mothers as being 'welfare queens driving cadillacs'? the American hero , Reagan

what other presidential candidate has said that those who support OBama,, 47percent of AMERICANS,, are victims dependent upon government with a sense of entitlement? Romney,,

what president passed civil rights act with NO SUPPORT From southern republicans? President Johnson

what president promoted legislation that put black males in jail at disproportionate rates? Ronald Reagan, war on drugs


as I was saying though,, through the tit for tat, I can find similar 'offenses' whatever you name,, and yet for those Presidents I don't feel HATRED

and for those who feel a similar HATRED for those Presidents , I have respect for their consistency

and those who don't HATE the others for their policies and choices, I will continue to charge with hypocrisy and very likely racism,,since the only difference between the men being compared is their RACE

are you eliminating the possibility that many reasons INCLUDING Racsim drives the opposition to this president? but mostly racism drives the HATRED (personal vitriol) for this president?


So all that you have shown is that the 2 party system is prone to corruption and vice and could care less about the peoples opinion on anything.

Your messiah is the worst of the bunch, he has declared the American public, its service personnel and veterans as terrorists because they oppose his policy.

No other POTUS has ever played the the race card, or been black, but this dimwit is abusing the privilege and bringing shame and division among ALL minority peoples, even foreigners.

His legacy....

1st to spy on ALL Americans
1st to claim the right to kill Americans without due process
Did so to a 17 yr old on foreign soil
Targeted opposition party with alphabet agencies
Subverted investigations of his past as well as recent scandals
Raised taxes while destroying jobs
Rules by edict
Bypasses congress
unconstitutionally exempts some from laws, but not all
Appoints tzars to head depts while congress is still in session
Expands, not ends, policies he swore while campaigning would be his first official act
Sat on the UN while serving as POTUS....serving 2 masters (3 actually.... none of which are the American public)?
Broken every campaign promise that got him elected
Stained the Nobel prize with the blood of innocents
Apologized for American superiority
Bowed to a foreign dictator
Is costing millions of Americans their healthcare and jobs
and every day it seems there is something new!

This narcissist is not racist, he's a bigot, unprincipled, divisive, unqualified, apologetic, delusional, aanti-American and hates everyone but his financial backers ..... mainly Soros and Ayres.... 2 anti-American socialists by self proclaimation!

What's not to disagree with?

Oh, but I'm just racist!


easily lead by emotion with little requirement for evidence or proof , is more what I Was thinking,,

and those who have an actual seemingly PERSONAL HATRED for the man, that they haven't had for other Presidents merely over a disagreement in policy,, which leads me to also believe, being that the only difference is the race, they are driven by RACISM


Apparently, you never noticed all of the PERSONAL HATRED that plenty of liberal Democrats had for President GWB when he was in the Oval Office, hatred that they didn't have for other Presidents merely over a disagreement in policy.



actually, no I didn't,, I think the only thing that came close was hatred over the war,, but those had similar hatred about presidents in the past who went to war,, like, Vietnam for instance

I didn't see an inconsistency in those feelings,,,,

In fact, I mostly saw him ridiculed and made jokes of due to his uncanny knack for fumbling with the English language,,,

I find it rather sad that George was called an idiot for that. There are plenty of people who are very intelligent who just shouldn't give speeches. Either because they get nervous or they just suck at knowing what to really say. I don't know him personally so I can't say if he's really smart of totally retarded. But I won't say one or the other because he messed up on speeches. I've heard Obama has done the same with speeches he had no script for and I'm sure every president, unless there was one that refused to give speeches has flubbed their share. I'm sure even with a script in front of me I would certainly mess up numerous time because I'm really tired all the time. hahaha

I understand that too

I just think, kind of like you expect a doctor to be able to speak intelligibly about medical topics

people expect a president to be able to speak intelligibly about political topics


,,considering how well leaders of other countries grasp and speak the language it is quite embarrassing when our own does not,,,

I am concerned however with INSTITUTIONAL racism , if there is a cultural acceptance of certain stereotypes and attitudes that validate those in powers of oppression to continue to oppress,,


You are correct to say "if", because you keep referring to something that may not be as nearly as bad as you make it out to be.

Meanwhile, real acts of modern-day racism remain ignored because of who is committing the acts.

African-American economist Thomas Sowell writes the following.

For American society, a dangerous polarization has set in. Signs of this polarization over the years include opposite reactions between blacks and whites to verdicts in the O.J. Simpson murder case, the "rape" charges against Duke University students, and trials resulting from the beating of Rodney King and the death of Trayvon Martin.

More dangerous than these highly publicized episodes over the years are innumerable organized and unprovoked physical attacks on whites by young black gangs in shopping malls, on beaches and in other public places all across the country today.

While some of these attacks make it into the media as isolated incidents, the nationwide pattern of organized black on white attacks by thugs remains invisible in the mainstream media, with the notable exception of Bill O'Reilly on the Fox News Channel.

Even when these attacks are accompanied by shouts of anti-white rhetoric and exultant laughter at the carnage, the racial makeup of the attackers and their victims is usually ignored by the media, and public officials often deny that race has anything to do with what happened.

These attacks have sent many people to the hospital, and some have died, but the attacks are often carried out in a festive atmosphere. What are called "troubled youths," in this and other contexts, are often in fact young people enjoying themselves greatly by creating big trouble for others.

Some of these many attacks are covered in detail in a book titled "White Girl Bleed A Lot" by Colin Flaherty. It was a phrase that I recognized immediately, from my own previous research.

That phrase was uttered by one of a group of black attackers who descended on a group of whites at a July 4th fireworks show in Milwaukee. But what happened there was not unique, either in itself or in the efforts of police and political authorities to play down what happened -- and to say that race had nothing to do with it.

When the Chicago Tribune was criticized for editing out the race of the attackers in a series of similar organized attacks in Chicago, it replied that race was irrelevant. Yet race is not considered irrelevant when indignantly editorializing on a disproportionate number of young black males arrested and imprisoned.

Sowell has his own agenda so it isn't unbiased nor do all black folks have the same view of what the issues are for blacks in this country. They are still digging out from the damage done to their families and societies from slavery. Many have different views on how they can fix it. Some is constructive, some is off the wall bat shyte. One thing for sure, whites, who are most definitely ignorant of how to fix these problems reading the blacks who voice their opinions on these problems have very little constructive views to add to the conversation because they can't speak on what they don't know.

The problem with black on white crime for some people is "you do understand their frustration and anger". After observing the white prejudice I have seen against black folks, I personally know I would be in jail for a or a few very heinous crime/s if I were born black in this country. The issue I have is, were they instigated by some racists whites? Most likely yea, just from what I have seen. White racism is the norm in this country. It is taught from birth to whites and isn't identified as racism to the children. These whites go through their life perpetrating these racisms on whoever non white is lucky enough to have to deal with them. It sucks to be non white in this country.

Willow, you don't have a clue as to what you are talking about. Try backing up your statements with some facts for validity.
Best thing for you is to not post and keep your ignorant comments to yourself.

and those who have an actual seemingly PERSONAL HATRED for the man, that they haven't had for other Presidents merely over a disagreement in policy,, which leads me to also believe, being that the only difference is the race, they are driven by RACISM


Apparently, you never noticed all of the PERSONAL HATRED that plenty of liberal Democrats had for President GWB when he was in the Oval Office, hatred that they didn't have for other Presidents merely over a disagreement in policy.



actually, no I didn't,, I think the only thing that came close was hatred over the war,, but those had similar hatred about presidents in the past who went to war,, like, Vietnam for instance

I didn't see an inconsistency in those feelings,,,,

In fact, I mostly saw him ridiculed and made jokes of due to his uncanny knack for fumbling with the English language,,,





i guess obama wanting to burn syria was ok with you then... sounds like you have a conflict with your messiah.. or, what you just posted was a lie...


I don't have a messiah in politics, messiah is perfect, I recognize that no politician is,,,



quite the contrary,


I think his haters were wanting or expecting or demanding a messiah


'wanting' to do something and acquiring sufficient support and evidence to do it , are separate issues

your quote:

so it's ok to want to go to war, but not to actually do it...whoa

Funny... I see racism against blacks, and racism against whites. Sexism against men, and sexism against women. The only policy that can be put forth is the requirement that one cannot favor a particular sex/or race, over the other (which is supposedly a law in place). Even this is tough to uphold, as they are mostly based on assumptions. Micromanaging these situations likely result in the reverse effect. A white man and black woman apply for the same job, and have the same credentials. Employer decides to flip a coin and the white man gets a job. Looks like racism, but it's not.

In fact most people i know would hire the black woman for fear of lawsuits. Wouldn't that be racism as well?

One thing for sure, whites, who are most definitely ignorant of how to fix these problems reading the blacks who voice their opinions on these problems have very little constructive views to add to the conversation because they can't speak on what they don't know.

The problem with black on white crime for some people is "you do understand their frustration and anger". After observing the white prejudice I have seen against black folks, I personally know I would be in jail for a or a few very heinous crime/s if I were born black in this country. The issue I have is, were they instigated by some racists whites? Most likely yea, just from what I have seen. White racism is the norm in this country. It is taught from birth to whites and isn't identified as racism to the children. These whites go through their life perpetrating these racisms on whoever non white is lucky enough to have to deal with them. It sucks to be non white in this country.



Willow, you don't have a clue as to what you are talking about. Try backing up your statements with some facts for validity.
Best thing for you is to not post and keep your ignorant comments to yourself.


Actually you are projecting your own issues on me. You address yours first thanks.



Someone needs to project something on you and it's not issues.ill

Do NOT make posts personal. Keep the posts on the discussion and not the posters.

From this point, warnings will be sent

I just wanted to say that when I first saw the name of the post. My first thought was it wasn't hidden well enough since someone found it. hahaha

I actually had a bigger laugh at the title of a documentary on Netflix called the secrets of the secret service. How secret could they be if they're in that documentary and on Netflix? lol

and those who have an actual seemingly PERSONAL HATRED for the man, that they haven't had for other Presidents merely over a disagreement in policy,, which leads me to also believe, being that the only difference is the race, they are driven by RACISM


Apparently, you never noticed all of the PERSONAL HATRED that plenty of liberal Democrats had for President GWB when he was in the Oval Office, hatred that they didn't have for other Presidents merely over a disagreement in policy.



actually, no I didn't,, I think the only thing that came close was hatred over the war,, but those had similar hatred about presidents in the past who went to war,, like, Vietnam for instance

I didn't see an inconsistency in those feelings,,,,

In fact, I mostly saw him ridiculed and made jokes of due to his uncanny knack for fumbling with the English language,,,





i guess obama wanting to burn syria was ok with you then... sounds like you have a conflict with your messiah.. or, what you just posted was a lie...


I don't have a messiah in politics, messiah is perfect, I recognize that no politician is,,,



quite the contrary,


I think his haters were wanting or expecting or demanding a messiah


'wanting' to do something and acquiring sufficient support and evidence to do it , are separate issues


your contradicting yourself... barry wanted to go to war in syria, but yet your ok with it... congress was the only thing that stooped it...and your still ok with barry...

your quote:

"actually, no I didn't,, I think the only thing that came close was hatred over the war,, but those had similar hatred about presidents in the past who went to war,,"

so it's ok to want to go to war, but not to actually do it...whoa


who said IM ok with war in Syria,,,?

when did OBama say he wanted to go to 'war with Syria'?

there is no contradiction of things that were not said

presidents who WENT TO WAR,,,what war did OBama begin,,,?





nonetheless, whether you remember it or not, barry wanted to go help the rebels, which means war, regards of what libs want to call it... the same people we are at war with now, and he's been giving them weapons for a while now, the al quida and the taliban...
