Republican Intellect: Part 2
Posted by Bossip Staff
That band of dimwits over at the NBRA, National Black Republican Association, or a more fitting term – Nothing But Retarded A**holes – are about to unleash some detestable radio ads to discredit Barack Obama. This one is called “Arrogant Obama”:
“Bitter is what Obama called blacks and whites who love God. Racist is what Obama called his white grandmother who raised him and made sacrifices so Obama could get a good education and become a millionaire. Obama’s friends are terrorist Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright who said innocent Americans deserved to die on September 11th. Obama is an arrogant elitist who turned his back on poor blacks and his own country.”
They are wrong on so many levels. The Republican intellect knows no integrity. It’s pathetic how they try to spin filth out of thin air. Click here to listen to these weak-ass ads pieced together by those Uncle Toms for yourselves. SMH.
A little sumthin extra: Click HERE to watch Jay-Z give “President” Bush a proper send off at the end of this clip of his set in Glastonbury.

This ish is crazy!
Oh, by the way… 1st
FIRST! Dam it!
intresting
thats all
They must be on the John McCain payroll.
@Lush-Us Lipps
Dam, Dam Daaaaaaaam, You beat me to it.
Oh… 2nd
Thats the most ignorant thing I ever read….
-Well we all new they had plenty of tricks in the bag.
-After all, they’ve had ample time to come up with ‘Nuff’ ammunition while waiting for OBAMA and hillary to settle the score.
Why are you so shocked. What did you think they were going to try and do with him. If they tear each other down too get into that office what did you really think they were going to do with Obama. Don’t fall for their foolishness. Keep your eyes on the prize and don’t allow foolishness too ruin your day.
We all know who the next President of the United States of America is and there is no need to allow foolish men be it black or white tarnish nor destroy this experience for you. All things meant for evil shall be turned into good. Live your live with that as your motto and nothing else can come at you. As long as you have the most high as the head of your life who can harm you.
Proof that in 2008, with enough money, whites can still buy a house-n*gger or two.
@ Just Saying
sorry
…… hee, hee, hee, hee 
Whats scary is the simple minded *****s that live among us and feed into propaganda such as this.
Damn im in the Top 10…..
ugh i can never be 1st
shouts out to my Detroit Playas….come smoke with ya mans.
damn i need to be in the top 10
wow..!
Let more friends know this.
I will digg it to my Blog on a hot dating club ” casualseek.com ” which has lots of members who want to seek short-time relationship.
John McCain supporters STAND UP!
a damn shame – I tell ya…
it took long enough..using black people against black people, so they can always say ‘look your own people don’t like you’..wake up! Barack will be the next President
Hannibal, i knew you weren’t too far behind
McCain in 08 and ***** it 2012 as well is he lives that long! Obama is full of false hope. Yes we can means exactly what????????
Not surprised at all. We all know we can be our worst enemy. Nothing new here.
I was expecting something like this. I really was. It is a pure divide and conquor technique and has been working for years. But we as a country need to wake up and not let it happen this time. OBAMA ‘08. Uncle Tom’s always looks like fools when they are slapped in the fact that white people still view that as black. YOU ARE BEING USED NBRA!
“Yes We Can” means we can move past Bush and get new blood in the White House. The only false hope that will come is to those that think Obama will fix everything. He cannot and will not; actually no man can so I don’t put my faith in him, only in God, but I do believe he’s the best man for the job, and I will support him all the way. This is my opinion and I’m not going to debate it with Obama haters.
Yes We Can. Obama ‘08!
As always, we are always are WORSE enemy and the average person (don’t want to mention RACE) knows that. All they do is sit back and let us destroy ourselves. Get a CLUE – is what I would say to the NBRA.
thread gets derailed by racebaiter in 5,4,3,2…….
How many people are in the organization…like 5…so who cares what they say…
Why we can’t do right for our people I’ll never know…always wanna bring us down…even when they know this is the best man for office.
OT:
The Williams Sisters are playing each other @ Wimbledon Thursday…Who YOU wit?
Hannibal U funny…. there’s no McCains supporters here!!!
I never heard of the NBRA, thank goodness. I know quite a few black repubicans (not me) and most of them are supporting Obama!! The fools mentioned in that ad (like Afiya said, probably “5″) should at least get their facts straight. GOBAMA ‘08!!
@ Kevin
Yes we can change the current state of affairs, the way things are going.
@Im Just Me
Change is inevitable in a circles of life. We don’t need a politician to tell simple-minded citizens like you about change. Change is a natural process during a person’s growth.
These “Black Republicans” are just trying to be relevant. Who listens to them? Black people. Nope! White people. Nope. They have no influence whatsoever so let them continue making complete *****es of themselves. Even Collin Powell dismisses them.
YES WE CAN!!!! NOTHING and NO ONE will stop the Obama train come Nov. 2008!!!! Register to vote people!!!!
@ Afiya
Serena all the way!
Crabs in a barrel
McCain is my hero!
I will say this one thing, and go on, i still have not made a decision, but i usually do very good at discerning people and i’m sorry. their’s something very unsettling about obama. and i’m not sure exactly but i don’t trust him, it’s just something about him that doesn’t give me a good feeling.
THIS IZ WHY WE NEED OTHERS THAN SHARPTON AND JESSE……WE NEED A BLK MILITIA TO PUT THE FEAR OF GOD IN THESE TOMZ AMONG OUT PPL! AND LET US DEAL WITH THEY AZZ OUR WAY!
This dont suprise me whatsoever. People just dont wanna embrace change or positivity. People will never change. And its a damn shame that these people would pull some ish like this out their *****. GROW UP PEOPLE and get over it
AND IM NOT BACKING OBAMA UNTIL THAT NIGGR ADRESSES THE BLKZ WHO ARE BACKING HIS AZZ!…. AND HE WILL NEED THE BLK VOTE! MOS DEF!
@trs
I’mma go with Serena too…that chick is BAAAADDD!!!
this election will depend on ignorance vs. intelligence.
If you listen to any fool say any thing then you will perish….
@ Hannibal——-> I wrote this in another post but I think YOU should read it too…. Holla at me!
Typical republican, making a blanket statement with out knowing the facts or the REASONS behind some of the actions and paths that peopl take in life…. I bet you call environmentalist “Tree huggers too huh?? You say oohh ***** tha polar bears lets drill for oil and ***** up the land…..
Ya see I’ve seen both side of the fence, I grew up in the projects of D.C. and the hood of Selma Alabama….
I know how easy it is to take a different route.. NOT EVERYONE FROM THE “HOOD” is a DOPE DEALER or Gang Banger like YOU and your fellow republicans think…..
I’m living proof it….
SECONDLY… have you done research on your political party, the REPUBLICANS… adapted form the Roman style of Government )the Republic )—> a bunch of rich people that make slaves fight for their amusement and horde all the money for themselves and do questionable acts to young boys in bath houses…..
The same party that removed the Army from the south after the civil war and allowed the old slave masters to kill and maim black politicians and people in general?????????
forced them to work in cotton fields for shelter and housing….
The same party that fought to keep blacks as slaves and stole land that was given to them by their slave masters (the few that had a lil heart)?????
Yep thats your Republican party….
IS THAT WHAT YOU REPRESENT???????
DO YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND KNOW YOUR HISTORY…. thats how you can tell what why things are the way they are……
@Z
Why is McCain your HERO???
@ too sexy
Now I am not trying to start ish with you, but I feel obligated to ask the following: what is so unsettling about Obama, particularly when you consider McCain’s politics? I just want to get your opinion.
Jay-Z was definatly on point!
Not surprised at all. We all know we can be our worst enemy. Nothing new here.

YO glok9n
WTF are you talking about??? come on man, you know the game…. What he supposed to do, stand up and say hey black people, thanks for your support?????
You know what he already did, just look at that pound he gave to his wife… That says allot in itself, if you know what I’m saying, being a N.eva I.gnorant G.ettin’ G.oals A.complished (*****) type person I think you are… feel me?
@ Wordzofaprophet:
“This dont suprise me whatsoever. People just dont wanna embrace change or positivity. People will never change.”
While the coons at NBRP truly are straight outta the ROOTS era, Obama’s nomination alone is proof that SOME people change.
@ Afiya
YES SHE IS!!!! I am in the process of watching her rack up another casualty on the court. She is murdering that chick!!! Serena will win this year.
obama is arrogant and elitist. i hope this false sense of black nationalism dies down real quick. how many times does he have to throw black folk under the bus before we realize he isnt our messiah?
I’m glad somebody said it. This is nothing but a conquer and divide technique that white America has been using against my people for far too long. It’s time we stand up and give America a wake up call to their bulls hit! I recently joined ColorofChange.org to help end all this vicious propaganda against Obama. Yes we can and we WILL!
I will say this one thing, and go on, i still have not made a decision, but i usually do very good at discerning people and i’m sorry. their’s something very unsettling about obama. and i’m not sure exactly but i don’t trust him, it’s just something about him that doesn’t give me a good feeling
__________________________________________________
Well good thing you don’t have to date him, just simply vote for him
as a matter of fact…….
I’m gonna re-post another one…..
@everybody
I’m not going to sit here and tell you who to vote for, but I will tell you this to help you out….
A president does not run a country, a president REPRESENTS a country, and makes decisions, and signs off on bills that effect the country.
Some presidents like Bush, sign bills that cut funding for public schools and take away P.E and after school programs.
Now what does that mean???? it means you need some one who has a GOOD thought process, Smart, Intelligent, and comp*****ionate…. (See bush and Mccain during Hurricane Katrina—> eating cake celebrating a birth day—> google it!!!! ( NO comp*****ion for american people… well “those” american people anyways….
NEXT… A president should not be disconnected with whats going on, they need to have some sort of understanding about how most people come up in AMERICA, like the way Obama went to Chicago, and helped with the poverty and hardship of the people when they closed all those factories….. Most senators instead went to fancy schools and did lil speeches and did their “{community work ” with rich college kids… hhmmmmmm… see the difference….
The CHANGE that they speak of is a CANGE OF MIND…. A change from someone who only cares about MONEY, Upper cl*****, and Themselves…. Thats how Bush is… Thats close to how Mccain is, althought Mccain is better than Bush, but Mccain would just be another “Puppet” (Mindless mound of flesh that does not think with comp*****ion. Just like Bush… )
Ya see Obama isn’t like that, he (from what I see) would THINK about signing off Billions for a war…. Yet our troops have had to purchase their OWN BODY ARMOR… HumVees with no ARMOR!!!! –War vets are all shell shocked with no health care, and many are homeless… many can’t work because they are shell shocked and can’t sleep… they are on their own when out of the military.—wheres tha billions at to help them???????
Many of them will be coming home soon and shooting people just because they haven’t had the right help and care and support after serving in the war.
Now they are auctioning off the Oils fields in the countries USA invaded for Bush….
Let’s not forget Bush ’s family busines is in OIL… He was once “friends ” with Osama’s family… he messeed up their money and *****ed their radical son off… Osama….. anyways, my point is…….
Shady Dummies do Shady dumb things….
I’m getting back to Mccain….
I challenge you to goto youtube or google video and search for “Mccain lies”…….Just type those 2 words and watch the many video clips…See all the interviews when he says one thing, then later in time says something EXACTLY OPPOSITE!!!
Is that who you want to represent you?????????????????????
We cannot say exactly what ANY president will do, but we can HOPE that at least they have enough morals, sense of decentcy, and respect for others, to make the right choices and lead our country…….
PEACE- Love -Honor -Intellect, and respect….. which candidate have you witnessed to have more of the 5?????
Let that marinate for a minute…..
toosexy
I will say this one thing, and go on, i still have not made a decision, but i usually do very good at discerning people and i’m sorry. their’s something very unsettling about obama. and i’m not sure exactly but i don’t trust him, it’s just something about him that doesn’t give me a good feeling.
So you would rather have another 4 years of Bush because McCain is pretty much the same person. What makes you so “unsettled” about him? Thats crazy. It doesnt matter who it is in my opinion, just not another damn republican who doesnt give a damn about you, me, or anyone who isnt in their tax bracket so i just dont understand what you mean by you dont trust him. So i take it that you would rather trust Bush if he could run again? Its just strange to me how you could be undecided at this point & be a sensible person who keeps up with current affairs.
there’s nothing more pathetic than a black republican. they’re not tough enough to deal with the everyday struggle of being a black american, so they wimp out by becoming modern day house negroes. Straight Up **********ness, for real.
OBAMA ‘08
Yall trippin on that messiah ish… who tha hell said that he was the messiah???.. that shows how disconnected you are with your spirituality, if you believe that….
@ BG
VERY GOOD INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
@dayg715
REAL TALK…
They thinkin’ on that house n!gger ish…
Just cause you Republican don’t change the fact of what they think about you… Just cause you kissin ***** in the “big house” don’t make you no better in their eyes than the field *****z….
mccain is just too damn old. and people are tired of that 1950’s mentality that republicans are trying to force everyone to live by. the one thing people like that fear more than anything else is CHANGE. Obama represents CHANGE. that’s why they hate him.
OBAMA ‘08
trs…
You are so welcome, I’m not even political… I’m just aware… Use the knowledge to level the playing field… Today is a new day… politicians can’t get away with lies like they use to… in the immortal words of ICE CUBE… ” we got tha lil hooker on tape” no disrespect to females either… Hooker meaning some one –male or female that tricks you into buying into some bull***** they are trying to sell to you…
I won’t call them Uncle Toms. They’re just blinded by the almighty dollar.
And after attending the Texas State Democratic Convention, and the joke that was the Black Caucus, there are several “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
I believe there are a lot of Black Democrats who are truly fighting for the Republican agenda, but they don’t have the money/clout/courage to switch parties. I saw some stuff go down in Austin that was done TO US BY US, and was shocked at how rigid and uncaring these so called BLACK LEADERS are supposed to be.
I’m honestly an independent, I believe that NO ONE has all of the answers, but registered as a Democrat for this WONDERFULLY EXCITING election season.
@BG
Thank you for your post. It’ 100% on point.
There was a time where I didn’t think John McCain wasn’t “all that bad”. Thats before I really checked up on where all the candidates stood on the issues. Anything has to be better than George Bush right? Wrong…
John McCain has admitted to not knowing ish about economics…one of the biggest issues in our country right now. He has admitted to not knowing a LOT.
The problem with Bush wasn’t that he was Republican…it was he didn’t listen to the American people when it came to making decisions. He did what was best for him, the rich…his buddies. Thats how we got into the war…thats why the economy is the way it is now.
This isn’t about partisanship…this is about who will make the best decisions for the country and its people. These black republicans are in the minority… a lot of black republicans are leaning towards Obama for the very reasons I mentioned. His policies are better for us and he really wants a big change out of the country…not like McCain who only wants to continue Bush’s f’ed up legacy.
*It’s
WhatsYoursIsMine…
Ya know what, you’re right, it’s not right to call them ALL Uncle Toms, but I wish we had some proof that they are not…. I’m sure some are exactly what you said…
OKAY, I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING EXCEPT “RETARTED” IS CORRECTLY SPELLED “RETARDED”
@knocked up had a beautiful baby boy
FASHO…! glad I could share…and help
@ BG
I feel you!!! I learned a little something something from your post, so keep it coming!! It sounds like you could teach those jigga boos at the NBRA a thing or two!!
Black republicans need pray.
Serena make me wanna holla, throw up both my hands!
As a Republican, I dont have to read or hear anything on this page to know I’m not voting for Obama, and I could care less what most of you poor, uneducated simpletons think. You are voting by race, without regard to the positions and policies Obama or any other Democrat puts into place. You identify with him because he’s black. Well guess who else is black? Kwame Kilpatrick is black. Marion Barry is black. Jesse Jackson is black. Al Sharpton is black. And the combined “blackness” of these f***in’ buffoons has gotten us where? We’ve actually REGRESSED since the civil rights movement. Abortion is wrong, negotiating with terrorist is a dummy move, taxing the wealthy and the people who create jobs will dig us into a deep recession, pulling out of Iraq immediately will throw that region into chaos, and pushing universal healthcare, open borders and other entitlements will drag this country further into a cultural and social dung hole.
I dont know why I’m ranting on Bossip though. Most of you can barely read…all you do is watch television and look at a nice looking well spoken black man and fall in love. Especially the women.
Black Republicans believe in self-sufficiency, self-determination, and reject a heavy role of government in our lives. We believe we can do it ourselves…we dont need white people to do it for us. We dont want a go**amn handout. We’ll make it on our own. It ain’t us who are the house ni**a’s. It’s you Democrats…
LOL ok let me say this yall, about me personally…. I work in the field of communication… happens to visual communication, yeah I went to school for it and all that… in order to enhance my natural talent, one thing I’ve learned is that the language dose not offend me, Its a means of COMMUNICATION… saying that I’m on here communicating, and I’m gonna spell some things wrong ,so pls forgive me and understand that I ‘m typing fast (I’m not a typist at all) and don’t care to spell check as long as people understand what I’m typing.. I’d rather draw it really but hey work wit what ya got….
Thanks for catching that btj… lol I like RETARDED better anyways, sounds better….
@ Realmatic
In the word of that famous cartoon character Bugs Bunny, Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Shat upppp”!
I’d burf a baby for Serena in a heart beat.
Wow…I ain’t surprised….some blacks just can not think for themselves. They still have to take a toke on ‘ol m*****a’s dyck every now and again to know that they are still breathing…good for them!
McCain supporter here..
and everything they said up above was spot on… It’s all true.. you can’t debate that..
Sometimes its hard to hear the truth
@BG! IM GETTING THEM GOALZ ACCOMPLISHED *****! YES I KNOW THE GAME SON…..THE PRIMARIES ARE OVER BRUH! OBAMA IZ IN THERE NOW…..HEZ COMING OFF AS ANY OTHER DEMOCRAT THAT USES THE NEGRO VOTE, AND MOVE TO HELP EVERYBODY EXCEPT OUR FOLKZ AND WHY NOT JUST ADDRESS KATRINA,THATZ WAS A SOCIAL ISSUE, SAVE THAT BULL***** BLK! GOOD INFO, BTW!
What is Obama gonna do for our country other than get his black ***** **********inated by some racist red neck?! Don’t u understand why Hilary is “Supporting” Obama, she knows that he will be killed by some white people and she will be next in line! McCain is the future!
Realmatic..
That is probably the most intelligent piece i’ve ever read on this site.. excellent…
@ BG TAKE A LOOK BACK AT THAT DAP SHE GAVE …IT WAS HER WHO SAID “GIVE ME SOME DAP” YOU-TUBE IT AND READ HER LIPS!! NOT HIZ OUT OF TOUCH AZZ! A SISTA AS 1ST LADY SOUNDZ GOOD BUT…..
@ Realmatic…
First off you are showing YOUR IGNORANCE.. to *****ume that every one posting is Poor and uneducated and simple is BAFOONISH on YOUR part.. It’s obvious that YOU DON”T READ… your fault… maybe you are too lazy? maybe you are ignorant? maybe you just don’t giv a *****… ALL TYPICAL THOUGHTS OF A DUMB***** REPUBLICAN ( not that all of them are)
Republicans allways want to bring race int o it…
How many times has the republicans said.. “oh Obama is where he is because of his color???????
They have NOTHING else to go on… NOTHING.. thats all you hear….
I challenge you to give me some info without bringing race into it?????????????????? YOU CAN”T!!!! YOU LOOSE….
“Black Republicans believe in self-sufficiency, self-determination, and reject a heavy role of government in our lives. We believe we can do it ourselves…we dont need white people to do it for us. We dont want a go**amn handout. We’ll make it on our own. It ain’t us who are the house ni**a’s. It’s you Democrats…”
you are full of it.. all you do is huddle up together and say ***** the rest of the world, it’s all about me (typical republican view)
then when you cross over to “the other side” you say heyy… I’m not like them, I’m like you.. ***** them.. now let me drink the pot liquor while you eatt the collard greens that my grand mother cooke d for you…
(thats going to go waaaaaay over your head , so I don’t expect you to understand Realmatic…..
Stillmatic could teach you some things homie.. go listen with your brain and not just with your ears…
@ ME
My respect level for you just went waaaaaaaaaay up…( not that I didn’t respect you as a person to begin with) I applaud you for actually reading with an open mind instead of being like reealmatic….
AND YOU TWO HOMOZ STEP- N- FETCH *****GITZ LIKE @REALMATIC AND @ME! ***** YOU AND MCCAIN! YOU PUT YOUR LIFE ON A OLD ***** THAT IZ GONNA SEND THIS COUNTRY INTO MORE PERIL GET THE ***** OUT OF HERE YOU PUNK ***** HOMOZ! *****KING GAS, OIL, FOOD, HOMES GOING UP AND YOU TWO BYTCHES IN HERE SUCKING MCCAIN ***** TALKING LIKE HEZ BETTER!
it’s so obvious they are trying to brainwash people.
@ME! YOUR THE REASON IM TAKING SNIPER FIRE! REALMATIC YOU TOO!
@REAL MATIC
DON’T GENERALIZE ON HERE, BUT I TOO AM A REPUBLICAN, AND A WOMAN AND A COLLEGE EDUCATED BLACK WOMAN. NOW, I WAS RAISED DEMOCRATIC, AND JUST HERE LATELY ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO AGO, I REALIZED SOMETHING, THAT DEMOCRATS ARE OPPOSITE OF EVERY THING I BELIEVE IN RELIGIOUSLY FIRST. THEY ARE EXTREMELY LIBERAL. NOW I AGREE WITH ALL OF YOUR THINGS YOU SAID ABOUT SPEAKING TO TERRORISTS, AND ALL THAT. BUT I THINK OUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RAISED IN IT TO, AND REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT ‘S BEHIND IT SO I HAVE STARTED SPREADING THE WORD. BECAUSE I THINK ALOT OF PEOPLE SEE HIM AS BLACK AND THAT;S IT BUT, BUT THAT REALLY DOESN’T HELP ME WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT I BELIEVE IN OR THE WAY THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON. SO AFTER RESEARCHING I CONSIDER MYSELF A CONSERVATIVE. DEMOCRATS CARE NOTHING MORE ABOUT YOU BLACKS THAN REPUBLICANS, OK . BUT THEY WERE SMART ABOUT IT, BECAUSE THEY SHELLED OUT PROGRAMS TO GET YOUR VOTE AND YOUR LOYALTY . EXP, WELFARE, MEDICAID AND SECTION 8 ALL OF THIS, AND I’M NOT *****G NOONE I HAVE USED THEM ALL ON MY WAY UP BUT IT WAS JUST A WAY TO MAKE US THINK THEY CARED, BUT IN ACTUALITY IT’S NOT CARING ITS ABOUT GETTING THE VOTE, I STILL HAVE NOT DECIDED LIKE I SAID EARLIER, I HAVE TO PRAY TO GOD FOR THE ANSWER. AND THAT’S WHAT I’M GOING TO DO.
@ Realmatic
What a bunch of BS!! I don’t even know where to begin!
“I don’t know why I’m ranting on Bossip though. Most of you can barely read.”
Give me a break!! I am so disgusted by that comment that I probably shouldn’t bother to address it. You must be one of those internet trolls that work for Bossip. Either that or you are a racist White man patrolling Black websites pretending to be Black so that you can spew your divisive, sanctimonious rhetoric and hope to clamor some votes for the GOP!! I would have a lot more respect for you if you would come correct without engaging in that stereotypical BS that is so representative of your party (IE calling Michelle Obama a “baby momma,” insinuating that Obama will be **********inated, conveniently using “Osama” in place of “Obama”).
I get tired of the Republican ilk stating that Democrats are looking for a handout!!! I hail from a family of STRONG, EDUCATED Black women, and I don’t look for a DIME from the government, except the income tax check that I earn every year!! I have TWO degrees, and thus, I don’t require government *****istance or “handouts” for anything! I believe in helping disadvantaged sectors of the population because unlike REPUBLICANS, I happen to give two *****s about the working cl*****, single mothers, and the uninsured!
For your information, abortion is a personal choice. If you don’t agree with it, then don’t have one.
As far as this comment: “Kwame Kilpatrick is black. Marion Barry is black. Jesse Jackson is black. Al Sharpton is black. And the combined “blackness” of these f***in’ buffoons has gotten us where?”
You know I actually had to laugh at you. Of course you would pick some of the most unsavory characters that you could possibly draw from. Undoubtedly, B. Obama is politically, morally, and intellectually out of their league, so what was your point?
Bottom line is this: you have a right to vote in any matter in which you see fit. I for one am voting for Obama, and I am doing so because I agree with his politics NOT because of the fact that he is Black. Frankly, his race is the proverbial “icing on the cake” but he would have my vote REGARDLESS because of his platform. Clearly, you are a lost cause, and therefore, your Republican Gods can have you. We deserve so much better and thus, we don’t want you anymore!!!
You call Democrats “house n****ers? I suggest you look in the mirror, because you are so intent on sucking the “master’s d*** that you can’t see what is right in front of you.” Please run back to your Republican master, ask him to drop his draws so that you can get on your job, and leave us in peace.
OBAMA 2008!!! YES WE CAN!!!!
WOW!!! Divide and conquer!!!
@ Realmatic & Me
THEY (THE POWERS THAT BE) ARE TRYING TO START A RACE WAR AND YOUR IGNORANCE IS HELPING TO FUEL THE FIRE. LOL…U GUYS ARE LAME.
Black Republicans believe in self-sufficiency, self-determination, and reject a heavy role of government in our lives. We believe we can do it ourselves…we dont need white people to do it for us. We dont want a go**amn handout. We’ll make it on our own. It ain’t us who are the house ni**a’s. It’s you Democrats…
***************************************************
REALMATIC,
Good post, you made some really valid points but you can’t expect poeple who are poorly educated and ignorant to be self sufficent and independant..Repuclicans talk about being independent while cutting education dollars and doing nothing to improve the state of poor people..The bad state of black people is a socio-economic problem because poor blacks aren’t getting the proper education, or soical services they need to be to be mentally, socially, or emotionally equipped to deal the real world or compete with higher educated whites..This whole system was designed for the failure of black people and men in paticular, it’s structured in a way that some people can’t help but to depend on welfare not because they want to be on it, don’t get me wrong we as black people sometimes do bring bad thngs on ourselves but you can’t blame everything wrong with black people on us being dependant on white people..When you look at the ghetto slum living conditions and dirt poor ***** education of some our people you can’t expect these people to excel in life.
And not all black people are voting for Barack just because he’s black, and some whites on the same hand are voting for McCain based on his race as well..
@TRS! SICKEM!
@ STEFANY! I LIKE THE WAY YOU PUT IT,WELL SAID STEF BOOGIE!
@ Glok9n
Thanks baby!!!
I try!! It just nauseates me to no end!!!!!
I’m sorry but everyone who thinks there is something wrong with being BLACK and REPUBLICAN is just ignorant. Just because Obama is black doesn’t mean black people have to love him. What if your core values, politics, and ideas are different? You’re OBLIGATED to vote and dare I say LOVE him just because you’re the same race? Please. What stupidity.
-A white person who, by the same logic, would be obligated to love politicians just because they’re white. what do you think about that?
these people are brainwashed…SMH
@trs,
hey no harm in conversating,
it’s the fact that i am a christian, and i think,you know i mean i know that i have a gift of discernment, and right now i can’t put a real grasp on it but something in my spirit just tells me this man ain’t right. and that’s number one.
now far as politics. i don’t agree with him on the no child left behind policy, i know its not perfect and some things need to be worked out. but i am happy my kids now get to go to a really good school and he’s against that.
also i am not for gay marriages. i think its against god’s word.
he’s also for the illegal immigrants who are causing more harm to our country than the war.
and i don’t like the fact that this man has just been a senator for maybe a year or two now, he doesn’t have experience.
now still their were some more things but i still don’t know, i have asked god to guide me and whoever he leads me to vote for i know that it was his will and i have done the right thing, now i won’t just vote for him cuz he’s black and that’s what scary alot of people who are voting this year are just going on that fact without researching things out. i recently just started voting but i take it serious i research and see what the candidates are about and obama did say that about being bitter, he said it, and now in this day and age we better be careful theirs an anti christ out their somewhere we don’t have to much longer so why voting is important i’m trying to get my life right with god, because nono of that will matter, democrat or republican.
@glok9n
I feel ya Son but it’s like this, he has to win.. he has to be a politician now.. he can’t just be all about blacks… he is half white, lets not forget, his moms is white.. but anyway that don’t mean nuttin right now, what I’m saying is Katrina is a sore spot for America as a whole. So he can’t just bring that up… I’m sure he would have handled it differently…. He has to win people ove rand walk a tight rope, when he gets in office, he will do the right thing…. now on tha pound thing, yeah his wife initiated it, but is’nt that a part of being black in America? Having a strong beautiful woman to have your back, keep you rooted and show love, love to each other, as well as present the solid foundation of family values… that says allot …in one pound…
@ Hannibal
You are eating yourself, like Hannibal lecter (sp) you are thinking just the way that “THEY” want you to think.. just be positive and live your life, pray and don’t believe in that Bull***** hype.. oh he’s black, they will **********inate him ish… change your mind, get ya mind right (in tha words of Master P)
Open minds with positivity STAND UP!……
aiight yall I’m out to lunch, but I’ll be back like the Terminater who has killed many people in movies and TV, but now is a Gov’t official who sends a man to death after he has rehabilitated himself in prison and helped keep youth from joining in on gang violence… Like Ronald Reagan an actor turned Politician that let crack flow thru the streets in order to suppress the people… let me stop.. lol
Most black people live democratic districts within cities and towns around this country. If you look at the conditions of the schools, parks, playgrounds, lack of businesses, and the high crime rates, you will see all the great and wonderful things that steadfast loyalty to the Democratic Party has gotten for black folks in this country. You people need to wake up and realize that government and Democrats are not the answer to your problems, they are the cause of them. Follow your Rap Star Idols and learn what hard work and self-reliance can do for you.
I am not a republican or democrat but for the sake of being able to cast a vote in the Illinois primary election I choose Democrat and voted for Obama.
Truthfully his color has alot to do with it, considering as one mentioned in an earlier post- a president represents America. Color alone isn’t the only reason. Look around you ladies and gentleman; this is no longer the America of years ago. We are in troubled times. Economically we are suffering and we need someone who can be humble enough to admit that we are struggling but also strong enough to mend relationships with foreign leaders. America has been deemed the “Bully” by many countries who have lost countless men and women at the hands of “former leaders”
IMO a 72 year old war vet is too disconnected with the people of this country to effectively represent the highest position in the country (aside from the FED chairman)
ALSO PEOPLE YOU DON’T HAVE TO STAY POOR, AND YOU DONT’ HAVE TO BE A DRUGGIE TO WHERE YOU’LL TRY EVERYTHING AND GET HOOKED, WE CAN’T BLAME OTHERS FOR EVERYTHING, ***** AND THE WAY I SEE STUFF SOME BLACKS WILL MAKE YOU WANNA UNDERSTAND THE WAY SOME PEOPLE THINK ABOUT US. YOU CAN BE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE, YOU CAN CHANGE YOU ENVIROMENT YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR MENTALITY. SO EVEN IF OBAMA GETS IN OR NOT. YES YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR OWN DANM SELF. START WITH YOURSELF LETS TELL OUR KIDS HOW IMPORTANT SCHOOL IS INSTEAD OF THE NEW JORDANS OR INSTEAD OF THE HAIR COLORS AT 15 INSTEAD OF THE YOUNG GIRL WALKING AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD LOOKING LIKE PROSTITUTES BUT THEIR MOTHERS BUYING IT. START WITH YOUSELF YES YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR SITUATION.
@ TooSexy
You know what, I FULLY respect your ideals and beliefs. I too, was raised Christian, so I can understand where you are coming from. I am a Democrat and I don’t agree with some of your opinions, but I don’t have qualms with you for your political affiliation. At least you aren’t casting aspersions on people’s character based on whether they are a registered Republican or Democrat. If you have prayed to God and God has answered, then who I am I to attempt to argue with that?
type of thinking, I don’t know where to begin…
However I’m not shocked cause there are bloggers who post comments
on this site who seem to have developed the same slave
mentality that a racist WASP would be proud of.
one more thing b4 I break….
I just read suumthin by
@toosexy
it made me think.
BTW the all caps thing is hard to read , I’m not raggin on you tho…
but anyways….
You know what I realized??????????????????????????????????????
It’s not about Republican or democrat, it’s about one man to represent our country, vs. another man to represent tour country
Dem or Rep. The facts are out there to show you who a better leader is… open your eyes…..
Did you watch the speech that Hillary and Obama did in UNITY…. well the first guy to introduce them was a REPUBLICAN, and he didn’t even ook like your reg. Republican, he said that he was thinking about voting for Obama, even though he had been a Republican for over 30 yrs or sumthin’… WOW!!!!!! does that open some eyes for you???
Don’t vote based on being a Republican or Democrat, or how they look or their color of skin… now age is a factor when you can’t remember what you said or why you are here ( i’m just stating the facts google it!–> Mccain lies)
Vote for who YOU think best represents a smart intelligent leader that is for America as a WHOLE, not just rich or poor or black or white or male or female….
The world will be a much better place…
I’m an independent and made no commitments to being a democrat or republican, but listening to the policies alone how could anyone want to vote for McCain? It’s very obvious that he doesn’t know what to do to uplift our economy because anytime they ask him about it he talks about Obama. Why not talk about yours? Why when asked about when do he see the troops coming home he answers “that’s not my concern”? This is the man you support? The one who knows nothing about the economy, has no resolution to healthcare, wants to continue putting our troops in a war that no longer has nothing to do with 9/11. I guess since it’s not your children being sent away or coming home in body bags then it’s okay with you.
@Afiya
I am joking. I just wanted to raise someone’s blood pressure.
The republicans are just afraid that if the poor get equal opportunies, it will effect them. They like the country being imbalanced, because the cycle will continue the sameway it’s been going for years. The majority of the people who are born RICH/MIDDLECL*****, will die RICH/MIDDLECL*****,and the majority people who were born poor will DIE POOR.
This country is is not designed for growth, and the rich have no problem with it, because it’s harder for a poor man to become rich, so that leave more money for the rich. However if this country become balanced, poor ppl will have an equal opportunity as the wealthy and because of that, the wealthy will have to WORK HARDER to stay wealthy.
Right now the RICH in this country is like a person on welfare, they don’t have to work hard when they are born wealthy. Things are past down, a poor man isnt competition. On top of that they are relaxed because there is only a small percentage of poor people who die wealthy. This leave more money for the rich to become richer.
so all that hand out talk is bull*****, people just want a equal opportunity (for-real) and a equal chance to be educated like people who come from better communities. Poor people struggle to get proper education in this country.
@ Lady Architect
LOVE the new haircut!!! YOU BETTA WORK!!!
I can’t believe how ignorant the majority of you are. YOU are the problem with the black community. Not McCain, Bush or the republican party. It’s typical. If a fellow black has a different opinion than he’s an Uncle Tom. We constantly attack each other as soon as someone thinks differently than the majority. I’m a registered independent and will NEVER vote for someone just because of they’re black. Would you have voted for Colin Powell if he ran, because he was going to run as a Republican?
The funny thing is that you think Obama cares more for you personally and he doesn’t. He’s a freakin politician! He’s in “the game” and you can’t even get in the game without being a bit dirty.
What if you’re black and anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage and you make a good living and don’t want to be taxed out the a**. We as a people should be able to dialouge with each other without resorting to name calling when someone disagrees.
Same dumb ni**ers that was given high fives when the OJ verdict came down, KNOWING that MF just murdered two innocent people. Think for YOURSELF!
@toosexy,
I can respect your positions and opinions, but I have to totally disagree.
I think the the No Child Left Behind policy is one of the worst things that has happen to urban school districts. Take a look around any major city’s district and you can see the devastating effects its having. Dropout and failure rates have hit an all time high, and funding for inner city schools have dried up. This was GWB’s way of destroying inner city schools.
As far as gays are concerned, I don’t believe anyone’s sexual preferences/orientation has anyplace in politics, and is nothing more than a divisive tactic. What people do in their bedrooms and their lifestyles is between them and God–not them, God, McCain or Obama. To me personally, I think sexual orientation in politics is just another tactic to discriminate, which is unconstitutional and “ungodly”.
And how immigrants is causing more harm than the war is beyond me. George Bush is the one who opened the floodgates to allow more immigrants to come over here to work for pennies, which is pushing US citizens out of jobs. At the same time, he is also the one that keeps on p*****ing enormous amounts of spending money for the war, yet, we are damn near in a depression.
Unless people are mega-rich and are benefitting tremendously from George Bush’s policies, I don’t see how anyone–Black, white, yellow, or purple–can support any policy of his.
LOL @ Z…gurl…
@ My own man
Great post. I totally agree.
Shut the hell up Bossip. So now it’s “pathetic” to spin filth out of thin air? Take a look in the mirror. So a black person can’t be a republican? What’s wrong if they want to actually do some research and follow a candidate they truly believe in instead of jumping on the bandwagon of the candidate who’s “making it rain on these hoes”? You guys are are retarded. Stick to celebrity gossip…..because you have no business in the smart folk arena.
@AND, BG SORRY YOU GUYS BUT I LOVE THE CAPS, BUT I WILL TONE IT DOWN.
@and now i would like to know how the child left behind acts caused this, and really because i am a person who listens and then makes a decisison, i have never really gotten how it affects the whole system, i just know that my kids got to go to a better school which i love it,they are exposed to diff. things and people. but i would like some insight on that because i really don’t know the behind the scene thing. before my kids was being taught everything but education and how quickly i saw this when they went to the new school and it took my a honor roll student time to catch up you can really see the diff.
@bg, yes that’s right i agree with you its about the best leader.
also i didn’t say that i agreed with bush on every policy but as far as the war, at first i was against it but something came to my spirit and it said their has always been wars, wars are needed, who are we to say that that land\people didn’t deserve to be free. i mean people have to die and i thank god that their are people who are called and put here for that. now i was talking to a mom who said her son was interested in going to the navy or some but she was like i wouldn’t go fight for *****, and all this, but when i thought about it thank god their are some who will while you chilling and eating and wathching tv, all because their are some who will and has. we had to fight to become free. if their wasn’t wars some of the things you go about everyday doing without thinking would not be so. so i’m saying that those people had to be brought out just like god had brought us out and others by ways we can’t understand. in the bible god speaks of wars, so we need to understand that everything happening now is so prohecy related and YES THAT WAR is too.
I truly believe that both parties have great ideas, and both parties have horrible ideas. As an independent, I couldn’t see myself voting Republican in this election. This is my 3rd presidential election, and I haven’t voted Republican in any of them. I don’t believe in voting for a straight ticket on my state and local level, but I believe this will be the first election in which I do so. I felt as if I was betraying myself and what I was raised to believe in by registering as a Democrat to parti*****te in the Primary and Caucus here in Texas, but I am glad I did.
What really bothers me is how so many people focus on how these issues are in the BLACK COMMUNITY. NEWSFLASH: As an American, I see it all. Black kids aren’t the only ones out following negative fads, I see White girls imitating Paris Hilton and the other celebutrash everyday with their bodies exposed and hanging all over men and not at a teen place where they can study and fellowship amongst their age group. I see children of immigrants running around in a culture shock trying to emulate Black culture, and then switch to acting like white kids when they get to college/into the workforce.
America, as a whole, has faced some tough years. Our current President’s cabinet (because let’s face it, the President is a talking head: I’ve learned that much over the past 8 years) has done some crazy things to this country. What shocks me is how fast they did it. I understand inflation is a part of the circle of Economics or whatever, but a lot of people have to open their eyes and choose what needs to be done in this country. Obama can’t save the world in 8 years, and he won’t be able to do it 4, but he can be the catalyst for change.
I think people should really research where both candidates stand and how they have voted while in their Senate careers. I was a HUGE John McCain fan, even met him a few years ago, and loved to hear him speak. Now that he’s running for President, I’m seeing a side of him that’s very unsettling. I’ve researched his voting record, and he’s not the “Republican Maverick” that people used to try to make him out to be. Keep in mind, this same man was going to switch parties so he could be Kerry’s running mate. I believe McCain intends to end up in the Oval Office “by any means/party necessary.” Each candidate is going to vote along his party’s lines, because that’s how you stay strong.
Everyone has a right to vote and be represented in whichever party they believes fits their beliefs, I just don’t believe the Republicans are going to be a strong party over the next 4 years. People need to keep in mind that when you vote for a candidate, you’re voting for their party’s platform, not that individual.
And TooSexy, girl, you keep praying. You vote based on who’s in your heart and in your head as the best party for our country over the next 4 years. I wish people from both parties would stop and look before they vote.
As for the other people who want to say, “N!gga this, n!gga that, just shut up. It’s just some fake posters I believe, probably the same person posting over and over, trying to get their point across. Be original, say something worthwhile without having to throw insults in it. If you really have something to say, present the facts and MAYBE I’ll read your posts and take them seriously.
Truthfully, a lot of the people who are criticizing me are speaking out of their a** and off of pure stupid, ignorant emotion. Exactly what I would expect.
I am black and was born as poor as anyone here, without a pot to ***** in or a window to throw it out of. I was homeless multiple times throughout my childhood. I was taught a work ethic by my parents and to value education. When other kids were taking free lunches in middle school, I worked behind the counter and earned mine rather than take a free one. That’s what I’m about. When ni**a’s was smokin weed in the halls of my high school, I was getting my grades up and ignoring their dumb a**es.
You dems still have that slave mentality. First it was Kennedy…and our grandparents and parents still act like John F. Kennedy is still alive and reppin’ black folks. Then it was Clinton…y’all were on him and Hillary until Barack came along. And what has all that d**k ridin’ got you? Black men dont go to college and about 25-30% are caught up in the crim justice system. Black women are the most disrespected group of women on Earth. Following the failed policies of the democrats has gotten you less than nothing…but they like you and smile in your face and talk a good game so they must be on your side right?
Open your eyes and get hip to the games you f’ing idiots. You’re being played.
You can say what you want about me. Call me a tom, call me a sell-out…I’m whatever you say I am. I’m a college grad. I have a professional degree. I make a good living and when I talk, it means something. It carries weight. I have money. I can do things. I have a say in this world. I have education. People listen to me because I matter.
What about you? Who listens to you? What have you done in this life?
What I really am though, is a guy that’s tired of trying to educate a bunch of stupid peasants being duped by the white liberal elite.
So go ahead and put your trust and blind faith into Barack the Magical Negro. Abortions for everyone. An influx of illegals to further drain your already thin inner city tax dollar and drive up crime. More illegitimate black children growing up without dads . This is the reality of the Democratic politics. But at least they smile at you and give those nice little entitlements and talk a good game right?
If u vote for mc cain get ready for da end of da world!!!
@whatsyoursismine
WORD!
@… THERE ARE TOO MANY @’S TO GO @!!!
It’s funny how black republicans use all of the “entitlements” this country has to offer, and then when they “make it” they protest the very same programs!!!
It’s funny how black repub’s don’t notice that millions more white people benefit from those programs than blacks do!
It’s funny how black repub’s claim morality as mantra but have no problem with millions of people being jobless, poor, hungry, sick, under educated, homeless, discriminated, etc.
Not to mention having no problem with fabricating a sham war(s) to go kill tens of thousands of innocent people!
It’s funny to see how black repub’s loose thier “blackness” as they rise into elite circles.
It’s funny that some “person” on this site would imply that Barak Obama was the anti-Christ.
It’s sad…
@realmatic
WORD SON!
I don’t get why we as blacks are so in the pockets of Dems in the first place. You all were heeping praise and noone could say anything bad about Bill Clinton 8,9 years ago, but today you realize how he and his party feels about us, now you hate him. Hillary and the Dems launched such racist, evil things on Barack and Republicans get blamed. Want to know why we don’t have a majority mom/dad households in our Community, AFDC, created by Democrats! That party has systematically destroyed our communities and we still vote 90% for them. I’m one of the Lucky 10% that doesn’t. The teachers unions support Dems every year and our schools are continuing to suffer. We need to look out the box and ask what has changed. Barack will bring the same socialist policies as Jimmy Carter, Clinton, and other Democrat Loonies!
REALMATIC-Keep speaking the truth. Oh yeah, i bet people on here who said we went to Iraq for Oil are wondering where its at cuz I just paid 4.19/gal. I forgot, ever since Pelosi and Reid took over the Congress, gas prices start rising but if I think like a close minded person, i’d say Bush is the reason.
@DA TRUFF
It’s funny how black republicans use all of the “entitlements” this country has to offer, and then when they “make it” they protest the very same programs!!!
It’s funny how black repub’s don’t notice that millions more white people benefit from those programs than blacks do!
WELL WHICH IS IT? SHOULD WE KEEP THE PROGRAMS GOING BECAUSE BLACKS BENIFIT< OR SHOULD WE GET RID OF THEM BECAUSE MORE WHITE PEOPLE BENEFIT?
It’s funny to see how black repub’s loose thier “blackness” as they rise into elite circles.
“LOOSE THIER BLACKNESS”? I THINK YOU MEANT “LOSE THEIR BLACKNESS”. LIKE THAT’S EVEN POSSIBLE. IT SEEMS YOU THAT YOU THINK THERE’S ONLY ONE “TYPE” OF BLACKNESS. RACISTS WHITES THINK THAT TOO.
@ Da Truff Hurtz
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You had some good points.
The ignorant race baiter who wrote this article just made my day. So the black Republicans are R-E-T-A-R-T-E-D, huh? Invest in a dictionary, genius. Did you mean RETARDED? You bottom feeders will print any ridiculous propaganda, as long as it feeds into your misguided logic. Never ceases to amaze me. I pity you because you really just don’t get it.
black repubs belieive that black people will never be able to live up to whites so they down the community in their politics and put it on democrats that their the reason for problums in the black community rich black people must know that there fellow rich white friends see them as an exception a rare out of many and if they did not have all that cash they would just be regular old negros to them you got to ne dumb to be black and a republican they don’t give a sh*t about you they don’t even attempt to get the black vote even some of share the same views
One of the main problems here is allowing you shuck-and-jive democrats define what black is. Your leadership has failed and those that have supported these leaders have failed. We’ve followed the Kennedy’s and the Clintons and those like them to our physical and spirtual death. We’ve allowed the Kwame Kilpatricks and the Marion Barry’s to lead us to the abyss. We’ve supported them through their crack smoking, their fiscal mismanagement and malfeasance and their tawdry sexual affairs. And when some of us have stood up and called these dumb a-holes out, we’ve been called Toms and Sellouts.
No more. It’s a new day. You ignoramuses who will blindly follow M*****a Clinton and M*****a Kennedy and M*****a Obama can stay on the plantation. Stay in the house. Keep eating their scraps and staying obedient. Y’all go ahead and keep reppin’ that bulls**t victim mentality that Al Sharpton has pushed and Jesse Jackson has pushed and the rest of these clowns.
The rest of us, the REAL black people, will work hard, fight, and define ourselves by our self-sufficiency, education, intellect, ambition, will, and desire to be free of government involvement in our lives and the moral depravity of dem party politics. That’s what being black is about.
First, totally off-topic, but the Williams sisters are playing each other Thursday? Yippee! Love them
Second, I skimmed through most of the posts, but in regards to black voters, the Obama campaign has embarked on a widescale effort to target African Americans. The below is from a recent story in the Wall Street Journal:
“For Sen. Obama, the registration initiative is at the fore, especially since the main reason for low black turnout is low registration. The U.S. Census Bureau says that while registered black voters turn out at a rate generally even with white counterparts, qualified African-Americans register at a lower rate nationally — 68% to 75% for whites. The gap is particularly stark in the battleground state of Florida, where only 53% of eligible blacks were registered in 2004, compared with 71% of whites. In Virginia, it was 58% to 72%.
If Sen. Obama can achieve registration parity, the effect could be significant, since African-Americans traditionally vote Democratic about 90% of the time.”
More on the campaign outreach:
“Nationally, the Obama campaign is training 3,000 volunteers to conduct voter-registration drives as part of its “Obama Fellows” program. These volunteers pledged to work 30 hours a week for six weeks this summer, focusing on blacks, Latinos and young voters in select states.
Among those states is Florida, which President Bush won by 380,000 votes four years ago and 537 votes in 2000. Four hundred Obama Fellows are targeting an estimated 500,000 qualified African-Americans who sat out the 2004 election. These efforts may be aided by recent law changes there, where the governor has made it easier for convicted felons to regain their voting rights.”
Realmatic
really i hope you enjoy what you work for i frankly i’m not impressed you not the only poor person who has become somtehing how does that make you more vauluble than anyone else here black people work hard go to school and graduate from college your comming off a less imformative and more cheeky
Get ready. You know the Republicans aren’t just going to roll over and let Obama win. They will destroy the economy first so he has no chance of success.
GOD’s will is going to be what it’s going to be! All we can do is go cast our vote and pray to GOD this whole nation doesn’t go str8 to HELL!!
The one thing I can say I’m thankful for is that we live in a country that has a multiparty system. I look at what’s going on in Zimbabwe and thank the Lord that we are least allowed to vote and caucus and primary and whatever else we feel needs to get the job done. It may be horribly flawed, but I know that I can go to the polls without thugs/militia members coming after my family.
@lalalalovely
I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!
I personally don’t mix politics and religion because I feel NO ONE can represent my faith but me..I don’t think it’s fair to ask a candidate to speak for me religously because at the end of the day these people are human..George Bush played the religion ticket in the 2004 election and once he got in office we didn’t hear anything else about religion, gays or abortion..How can you condemn one politician for abortions and gay rights and support another who believes in war and *****ing on the poor, I never usderstand that..The thing about republicans is they judge the entire world based on their Christian veiws, while forgetting other religions exist outside of Christanity, everyone doesn’t share your Christian views, not saying they worship the devil..As far as gays and abortions are concerned, I don’t understand why are people so concerned with another persons personal life to begin with, I don’t care what you do with your sex life or body as long as you’re not hurting me physically, or financially it’s really none of my business..The gay/abortion issue is a no win situation no matter how you look at it.
@Kevin
You’re supporting McCain, dearheart? Let’s chat.
On another note, I heard on NPR this morning that there’s a chance that Colin Powell may endorse Obama. The possibility was mentioned in an op-ed in The Washington Post, and there’s continued speculation about which way he’s leaning since he has complimented Obama on more than one occasion, despite his friendship with McCain. I think he still feels the sting of how he was treated by the Bush administration.
@Realmatic…check out lp.org
It’s “coming” and “valuable”. I’ll let your other spelling and grammar mistakes p***** as typos. Thanks for the speech on education though.
@STEPHANY I WILL PRAY FOR YOU, THEIR ARE NO OTHER THAN GOD HIS SELF NO OTHER RELIGIONS THAT COUNT NO OTHER GODS AND THAT’S WHY WE MESSED UP NOW. AND WHY PEOPLE CARE BECAUSE THIS NATION WAS BUILT ON GOD THAT’S WHY, WE ARE A BLESSED NATION IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW , AND THINKING THE WAY YOU DO IS THE REASON WE ARE BEING CURSED NOW ,CUZ NOONE CARES AS LONG AS ITS NOT AFFECTING THEM THAT’S THE WRONG ATTITUDE TO HAVE. HE MADE THIS NATION STRONG FOR A REASON AND NOW WE WANT HIM OUT AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE WILL NOT FORCE HIMSELF AND HE KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN BUT DID YOU? BECAUSE YOU WANTED GOD OUT THE SCHOOLS NOW THE SCHOOLS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE, YOU WANTED HIM OFF THE MONEY NOW ITS LOSING ITS VALUE, OUR FOOD IS DRYING OUT AND BEING POISONED WITH ALL KINDS OF THINGS. READ.
Sydney-
I LOVE NPR! The guy I’m seeing has started listening to it while he works at night, and we can discuss what we heard on News and Notes. He fills me in when I miss it because of school. I heard part of that commentary on Powell possibly endorsing Obama. I can’t wait to see what former members of Bush’s cabinet will have to say after it’s all said and done.
We need to get more of us listening to NPR and reading alternative news sources. My two new favorite blogs (besides Bossip) are Jack and Jill Politics and Michelle Obama Watch. I have to stay off Huffington Post, I won’t allow myself a login ID because I’ll get to arguing and lose my job.
@STEPHANY AND ALSO WHAT PEOPLE IN THE BEDROOM DOING IS AFFECTING MY KIDS NOW, BECAUSE PEOPLE FEEL ITS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO NOW I CAN’T HARLY LET MY KIDS WATCH TV FROM GIRLS KISSING GIRLS , BOYS KISSING BOYS, SO ITS AFFECTING ALOT OF THINGS IT’S NOT STAYING IN THE BEDROOM.
OK! I’VE CHANGED MY MIND!!!
@ TOOSEXY… YOU ARE RIGHT!
@ REALMATIC… YOU ARE RIGHT!
I NOW HAVE SOME SOLUTIONS…….
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS NOTHING & BLACK PEOPLE DESERVE NOTHING!!!
THE DEM PARTY SHOULD BE OUTLAWED! ALL WHITES WHO DO NOT CONVERT WILL BE EXECUTED, JAILED, OR DRAFTED TO FIGHT IN ALL THE NEW “PROPHECY” WARS.
FREE BLACKS (THOSE NOT IN C.J. SYSTEM) WILL BE GIVEN THE OPTION TO GO BACK TO AFRICA OR STAY HERE AS SLAVE LABOR.
THEY WILL BE RESTRICTED TO SPECIAL AREAS AWAY FROM NORMAL SOCIETY.
EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE FOR THE TOP 10% OR “Petty Bourgeoisie” CONSISTING OF: KEY ELITES, SPECIAL NEEDS SKILLS, ATHLETES, ARTISTS & ENTERTAINERS.
“OPERATION WETBACK” WILL ROUND UP EVERY ILLEGAL ALIEN IN THE U.S. FOR PROSECUTION.
THE SICK, OLD, YOUNG & IGNORANT WILL BE DEPORTED.
THOSE HEALTHY ENOUGH WILL BE PUT TO WORK WITH THE BLACKS BUT BE DEPORTED AS THEY AGE OR BECOME ILL.
ALL GOVERNMENT ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS WILL BE CANCELLED!!!
THE REMAINING WHITE REPUBLICANS WILL NOT NEED THEM.
THE AMERICAN THAT WAS FOUNDED IN 1776 WILL BE REBORN!!!
PS: THESE ARE MY IDEAS SO DON’T TRY TO CLAIM THEM!
@TOOSEXY YOU AZZ IZ DEAD WRONG AND YOU KNOW IT!REPUB VALUES DONT HAVE ***** TO DO WITH YOUR BLK AZZ, WAKE UP SISTA!
@ TRS
Your posts were very informative and spoke volumes. I have to agree with you.
@trs
WOW…no comment, you said it all!
WHY YOU WONT YOU NIGGROZ AND LATINOZ FORM OUR OWN PARTY AND SAY ***** THE DEMZ AND REPUKS?! WHEN WILL YOU NIGGRZ GONNA GET OFF WHITEYZ COATTAIL…..MAN! STOP DEPENDING ON THESE FOLKS!
@GLOK9N
MY BLACK *****, I CAN ALMOST BET YOUR JUST VOTING CUZ HE’S BLACK, BUT I’M VOTING WITH WHO MATCHES MY BELIEFS AND THAT’S NOT A CRIME, IT’S ABOUT THESE TWO CANDIDATES IF IT WAS A DEMOCRAT WHO HAD THE IDEAS AND BELIEFS THAT I AGREED WITH THEN I WOULD VOTE FOR HIM ALSO I STILL SAID THAT I WASN’T FOR SURE YET, I WILL PRAY AND LET GOD GUIDE ME, SO I DONT’ MIND CONVERSATING BUT IF YOU WANNA CALL NAMES AND STUFF LIKE THAT THEN DON’T ADDRESS ME.
@WhatsYoursIsMine
Girl, we’re twins! lol I check Jack and Jill Politics and The Huffington Post religiously. I’ve also been on Michelle Obama Watch (that was started by the creator of What About Our Daughters, by the way).
As for NPR, that’s my daily staple — I detest most of today’s music, so that helps me get through my commute, and I always learn something new every morning. The segment this morning with Juan Williams was interesting. If Powell does endorse Obama, that would send shockwaves through the GOP, I think.
What happened on News and Notes today? Do you know? I don’t get to listen to it during the day, but I receive the daily e-mails — I love Farai Chideya.
Do you also read Politico?
@WhatsYoursIsMine
Did you see the new design of Jack and Jill Politics, by the way? They revamped the site over the weekend.
@ trs
THANX!!!
SO DID YOU WHEN ROASTING “rEALMATIC” @ 1:09pm!!!
@ JUST4DAHELLOFIT AND ROXIE
Thank you so much for speaking out!!! I am glad to know that there are some folks out there with common sense.
OMABA ‘08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like I said before, NO ONE can stop the Obama train!
@TRS AND 5 DOTZ! KEEP SPITTING THAT WISDOM, ILL PRAY YOU FEEL ENERGIZED AT ALL TIMES WE NEED YOU HERE! I LOVE KNOWLEDGE COMING FROM MY PPL!
@DA TRUTH HURTS AND TRS
I REALLY WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT OBAMA PROMISES?

For anyone who’s interested, there’s a wealth of material on Obama’s position on a variety of issues and more about his campaign at www(dot)barackobama(dot)com.
You can also sign up for e-mail updates on Obama’s site, which I’ve found to be very useful. Unfortunately, I missed the deadline last night to contribute in time for his June financial reporting deadline.
@ DA TRUFF HURTZ
ooooo I like that one!! Very good points
VOTE LIBERTARIAN: lp.org
@TOOSEXY! OBAMA CANT PROMISE US ***** ONLY THE ALMIGHTY CAN DO THAT! NO ONE SAID HE WAS THE MESSIAH,HEZ A BREATH OF FRESH AIR! YOU AS ABLK WOMAN WULD RATHER GO AFTER McCAIN THIS MAN OFFERS YOU NOTHING BUT THE SAME OL BUSH POLITICS AND YOU ASKING WHAT CAN OBAMA DO FOR YOU!? SHAME ON YOU! REPUBS DONT GIVE A ***** ABOUT YOU! JUST NEED YOUR BLK VOTE YOUR SKIN COLOR WILL NOT EVER GET YOU EXCEPTED!
I have never had any respect for any black person that is *****ociated with the republican party. These negroes still have the mentally of serving their white masters on the plantation. Therefore, they will slime Obama for the sake of their racist plantation masters. They are so pathetic.
@ MY OWN MAN!
YOU ARE RIGHT!
I DID MEAN “LOSE”…
AND, THERE IS ONLY ONE KIND OF BLACKNESS. IT’S THE BLACKNESS THAT ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE AND WORKS WITH THEM TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL STATE OF BLACK LIFE!
IT DOES NOT SIMPLY DISS & DISMISS…
YOU NEVER HEAR OF CONDI RICE, CLARENCE THOMAS, LARRY ELDER, JC WATTS & THE REST REACHING BACK.
BILL COSBY, CORNELL WEST, OPRAH WINFREY, AND YES: BARAK OBAMA & MANY MORE, ARE ALWAYS LIFTING AS THEY CLIMB.
THAT’S BLACKNESS!!!!!!!
YOU WOULD RATHER… DAMN!
@TOOSEXY
My point is you can’t force religion down someone’s throat or make people stop being gay just because you believe it’s wrong, if that’s the case you might as well put gays in jail, and if you take abortion rights away women they will find other unsafe alternatives to terminate pregnacies..You can always relate current world events to the Bible people and
scolars have been doing that since for ever..I work with a lady who is gay and married to a woman, I don’t understand it and could never do it but what can I do to change this person, nothing..That’s her God given right to love who she chooses or even go to hell if she wants to..It’s not just taking religion out of school that messing up the school system, but it goes back to the parents & taeachers not doing thier jobs and the lack of social/psychological services that are available to our youth and our poor black youth in paticular.
@ Sydney-
YES! I love the new Jack and Jill background! And I’m on Politico under “Bashley”. I haven’t posted on there in a minute. I’m trying to reason with people on this site and feel I am wasting my time.
I did find an ex boyfriend on Politico, I was 20 and had just dropped out of school when I proofread this graduate thesis, and a lot of his opinions that were in his thesis are coming to fruition, and he posts similar stuff on Politico. He tripped out when I discovered it was him and sent him a message.
We had a bad breakup, so I’m tempted to contact his old university and say that he’s posting published material without their written consent. I know it’s so sad that I can’t be more vengeful than that.
@GLOK9N
HOW CAN YOU TELL SOMEONE WHY THEY VOTING A CERTAIN WAY AND YOU CALL ME EMOTIONAL AND YOU CAN’T EVEN CARRY ON A CONVERSATION WITHOUT YOUR EMOTIONS CLEARLY GETTING IN THE WAY. I TALK TO DEMOCRATS EVERYDAY AT WORK AND WE HAVE THIS SAME CONVO WITH OUT CALLING EACH OTHER BLACK AZZES CUZ WE ALL KNOW WHAT COLOR WE ARE. AND ALSO I AM SO FAR FROM IGNORANCE IT AIN’T FUNNY, ITS IGNORANT TO THINK THAT BARACK IS NOT A POLITICAN AND JUST BECAUSE OF THAT FACT ALONE HE IS NOT INNOCENT HE HAS TO BE RESEARCHED AND LOOKED UP JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CANDIDATE. NOW I ALREADY SAID THAT I WASN’T DECIDED YET IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT BUT THE WAY YOU TALKING BELIEVE ME YOU ARE NOT GAINING HIM ANY NEW SUPPORTERS. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CAUTIOUS PERSON AND NOT A FOLLOWER I WILL MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS AND NOT SCARED TO CHANGE OR LISTEN TO OTHERS AND STILL DECIDE SO MISS ME WITH YOUR KIND OF TALK I ONLY TALK TO PEOPLE WHO NO HOW TO ENGAGE IN A HEALHTY CONVO, AGREEING OR DISAGREEING SO THERE YOU HAVE IT.
@THE TRUTH HURTZ! THATZ WHY THE TRUTH HURTZ! PREACH ON MY BROTHER!
@ TooSexy
Thanks for expanding your horizons and asking for clarification on Osama’s policies.
Obama’s economic policies are part of the reason that he has my vote. Obama wants an additional $50 billion stimulus package and has called for a $10 billion dollar fund to *****ist with the prevention of foreclosure for “at-risk” homeowners. He has proposed government subsidized health coverage and *****istance for workers who lose their jobs because of downsizing or outsourcing. Also, Obama would invest $1 billion over five years in transitional jobs and career programs to help low-income Americans succeed in the work force.
Our grandparents won’t pay income taxes if they make under 50,000/year under Obama’s platform. Obama also advocates a $4,000/year college tax credit for 100 hours of community service. This is all on top of an income-tax cut of up to $1,000 for each working family.
Bottom line: B. OBAMA is providing a caveat for the middle cl***** to scale the astronomical wall that his been erected between the rich and the middle cl***** during 8 years of the Bush administration.
I can’t begin to discuss his entire platform, but these are just a few of the many ideals that have convinced me to vote for Obama,
Barr: Congress abandons Liberty and Privacy
July 1st, 2008 by Jason Pye
Writing over at the Huffington Post, Bob Barr explains how Congress has sold out Liberty and the American People with the recent FISA deal:
Given the facts that the war is open-ended–when will terrorism actually be “defeated”?–and that the American homeland is a battlefield, the president essentially claimed to possess unlimited power. The Republican Congress simply went along. When it came to oversight of the executive, GOP legislators acted in unison, supporting their political party over our liberty.
Unfortunately, the Democratic Congress has been little better. As is evident from the leadership’s decision to surrender to the administration and approve a FISA “compromise” that allows the president to keep these unnecessary and dangerous powers.
The bipartisan measure would allow the government to listen to millions of phone calls by Americans without an individualized warrant and based on nothing more than a belief that one party to a phone call or an e-mail is located in another country. Surely the Constitution demands some accountability for the executive branch.
The law would offer greater protection when a particular American was expressly targeted, but even then the proposed rules fall short of the Fourth Amendment’s requirements. The Constitution’s protection against unreasonable search and seizure is part of our nation’s freedom foundation, not superfluous verbiage.
Moreover, the FISA amendments would immunize telephone companies from law-breaking, protecting them against lawsuits for helping the government conduct warrantless searches. Past cases would be dismissed. So much for expecting people to obey America’s fundamental law.
It is important to note that both Barack Obama and John McCain support this legislation that undermines our constitutionally protected rights.
@STEPHANY BUT I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT CHANGING GAYS I SAID BASED ON WHAT I BELIEVE IN THAT’S ONE OF MY THINGS I LOOK AT BEFORE VOTING JUST LIKE SOME PEOPLE FOCUS ON THE ECONOMY THE WAR THIER ARE DIFF. THINGS PEOPLE LOOK AT, BUT STILL I KNOW THAT I CAN’T CHANGE A PERSON BUT I DON’T HAVE TO VOTE FOR A PRESIDENT THAT WILL ALLOW GAY UNIONS. AND FOR AS THE SCHOOLS PARENTS AND TEACHERS HAVE JUST NOT STOP DOING THE JOB,BUT THEIR STILL WASN’T THIS MUCH KILLING GOING ON IN SCHOOLS, DON’T DENY IT. WE NEED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT’S GOING ON. NOTHING IS JUST BECAUSE. AND ALSO ITS NOT A GOD GIVEN RIGHT DON’T PUT GOD IN THAT WHEN HE CLEARLY STATES THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS AN ADBOMINATION.
@ TOOSEXY! SISTA IM LIKE THIS EVERYDAY…. AND YOU DO SEEM EMOTIONAL, OK LETZ FORGET OBAMA IS BLK OR HALF, WHAT DO YOU AS A BLK WOMAN THINK THAT THESE REPUBS ARE GONNA DO TO ACTUALLY HELP YOU? DO TELL!
Bossip: the high school bathroom of the internet. Instead of sticking to what your good at: booty pics & following the latest rap/convict artist news; you have decided to be this Obama free ad *****e.
IT’s real sad when presented with facts about this a back bench Chicago politican now elevated to M*****iah status; you resort to schoolyard taunts and name calling.
Till I see this fraud turn water in to wine, I’m 100% against turning over the control of my nation to a guy who hangs with terrorists, has a wife that is a loose cannon, and a church that curses the nation he wishes to lead.
Bossip’s kool aid drinking & race baiting has been going on all year. it’s sad & will bring me nothing but joy when your bubble bursts and this fraud is sent packing back to that cesspool called Chicago. The community he’s organized so well…..
HA!
WHAT HAS MCCAIN EVER DONE TO HELP BLK PPL SOMEBODY EXPLAIN!?
@GLOK9 THEY ALL PROMISE SOMETHING, ALSO I HAVE NEVER STATED THAT I WAS A MCCAIN SUPPORTER.
@TRS THANKS I WILL LOOK FURTHER IN TO THAT. LIKE I SAID I HAVE YET MADE A DECISION SO I APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK.
LMAO @ WhatsYoursIsMine
Girl, leave that man alone, lol. I have to look for you on Politico. I haven’t posted there yet, but I get the daily updates. Have you read Michelle’s Princeton thesis yet? Politico posted it a while back, but I haven’t read it yet. I think the attacks on her are so shameful — my friends and I talked about it last weekend and how we as black women felt very offended by what she’s experiencing.
I’ll be back — have a meeting.
@ TooSexy
Also, McCain has publically come out and said that “economics is not [his] strong suit.” Do we really want a future president who openly acknowledges that he does not have the know-how to address the debacle that has become the US economy?
Note that this is the same guy who said that bringing our troops home from Iraq is “not too important!”
Like I said, we have a right to vote for whom we wish but think on it!
@GLOK9 I JUST GOT YOUR POST NOW IF YOU LOOK BACK I SAID THAT THE MAIN REASON I DECIDED TO NOT GO DEMO, WAS BECAUSE THEY ARE EXTREMELY LIBERAL THAT ‘S MY PROBLEM ANYTHING GOES. FORGET WHAT THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON FORGET GOD TAKE HIM OUT THE SCHOOLS NOW THE SCHOOLS ARE BATTLE FEILDS TAKE HIM OFF MONEY NOW OUR MONEY IS LOSING FACE VALUE TAKE THE COMMANDMENTS DOWN. ALL THIS NOW YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT BUT I’M BACK GOD, IT REALLY DOEN’T MATTER WHO WIN TO BE HONEST BUT I’M NOT BACKING ANYONE WHO REFUSES GOD AND HIS TEACHINGS. SO THAT’S THAT, THAT’S WHY I SAID I WILL PRAY AND GET MY ANSWER OBAMA IS STILL A POLITICAN DON’T FORGET.
I’m an independant whose number 1 priority is getting us the hell out of Iraq. I wish to God McClain would do that, but he isn’t. My vote is therefore going to Obama. I wish he had more experience, but everyone has to start somewhere.
And he’s getting us the hell out of Iraq!!!
TOO SEXY! YOU WITH RALPH NADDER OR WHAT?! THEN WHY ARE WE HAVING THIS DEBATE?
I meant McCain
@zeigeit…
how fast do you think obama will get us out of iraq?
@ glok9n…
THANX!
I SEE YOU ARE LOCKED IN BATTLE WITH (toosexy)…
YOU AND THE REST KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT.
KEEP IT CLEAN THO… TAKE THE HIGH ROAD!
@TRS I DID HEAR HIM SAY THAT AND I DIDN’T GO ALONG WITH THAT THAT;S WHY I’M AT A STAND STILL WHERE I NEED HELP TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE, ALSO DID YOU READ MY EARLIER POST ABOUT WARS, IF YOU DIDN’T PLEASE SCROLL BACK UP AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK HONESTLY.ITS THE ONE WHERE I ADDRESSED 3 PEOPLE IT’S UP KINDA FAR BUT I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR FEEDBACK ON THAT. JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK, I HAVE A TENDENCY OF THINKING DEEPER AND INCORPORATING THE BIBLE INTO THE TIMES AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST DONT UNDERSTAND. SO LET ME KNOW.
@GLOK9 THAT WAS FUNNY I DONT KNOW WHY WE HAVING THIS DEBATE. JUST TO P***** THE TIME I GUESS.
@zeigeit, he shouldn’t be STARTING at the White House.
@TOO SEXY! SINCE YOU BELIEVE IN THE ALMIGHTY YOU SHOULD NOT VOTE AT ALL RIGHT …BECAUSE HEZ AGAINST THIS SYTEM …CORRECT! HEZ GOING TO DESTROY THIS SYSTEM OF THINGS! LIKE THIS GOVERNMENT, AND OBAMA IS FRIENDS WITH THE ELITE OF THE WORLD! WOULD THAT MAKE HIM THE ANTI- CHRIST TO YOU!?
Is getting out of Iraq within a year unrealistic? My brother is there now and he hates it. Loves his country, but hates being there. He’s only 19.
@Sydney-
I believe the wives on both sides get attacked in the elections. I feel sorry for Cindy McCain and her past, but she’s going to be open to a lot of scrutiny, especially for their party. I think this election is going to be messy on the Republican side.
I do want to read her thesis. I’ve read snippets of it that were “carefully chosen for public consumption”, but I want to read all of it.
@GLOK9
NO THE SYSTEM HAS TURNED ON HIM BY LIBERALS AND THAT’S WHY THIS WORLD IS HEADED STRAIGHT TO HELL DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK KATRINA AND THE TSUNAMI’S ARE JUST MISHAPS DO YOU REALLY? DO YOU THINK ALL THE CHOAS IN THIS WORLD IS JUST A PHASE AND OBAMA OR MCAIN CAN MAKE IT BETTER, REALLY? NOW I DON’T KNOW WHO OBAMA IS FRIENDS WITH, BUT HE SURE POPPED OUT OF NOWHERE AND IS BEIND GLORIFIED LIKE THE MESSIAH.
@TRUTH HURTZ! I ALWAYZ TRY TO, BUT “TOOSEXY” IZ MY SISTA AND I WOULD ALWAYS RESPECT THAT!
@WHATEVER I AGREE
THIS IS SUCH DIALOG I’M LOVING IT.
@TOOSEXY! P***** THE TIME HUH? YOU FUNNY!LOL!
GREAT DIALOG
toosexy,
I really enjoy your comments because they are not defensive or out of sight in any way and I respect that. I did some research on the no child left behind act so I can give you some insight on it. I too thought at first that the act was a great contribution to our education system. Unfortunately the number of successful students have gone down at record numbers not because children are being lazy, but because there’s not enough time for teachers to cater to their students at different speeds like they use. The funding promised has not been given so after school programs are cut, AP vs applied courses are mended into one, and the focus of the school is solely to teach the kids how to p***** the test rather than teach them how to solve and understand the test, giving them the ability to p*****. Teachers are so underpaid to where they are replacing teachers with adjuncts or teaching *****istants that have 2 or more jobs. Like I said the funding promised for more programs and thing were never given as promised. I’m very happy for you and your children and to be honest you could’ve gotten them into a better school on your own. I went to elementary-middle school in nyc. They tried to put me in a district school that my parents didn’t want me in. They spent a whole summer in board of education meetings, and went up to the school they wanted me in themselves. They got the request forms, went back to the board of ed and I had to take an exam to prove that I can handle the top two public middle schools in Brooklyn. After all said and done I attended the top middle school in Brooklyn on the strength of my parents first fighting and running all over the place and then p*****ing the exam. There are ways to get around, we just have to research and be open to it.
@zeigeit
i do not think it is…i also do not think obama will be ending the war that fast.
he has my respect,gratitude and prayers…i hope he and his fellow warriors come home safely soon..
@GLOK9 I WILL DEF. LOOK MORE INTO OBAMA, I JUST WANT TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION, I DON’T LIKE WHAT MCCAIN SAID ABOUT THE ECONOMY I NOT REALLY FEELING VOTING FOR HIM. SO I STILL HAVE A LITTLE LONGER TO THINK IT THRU
Glok9n@”WHAT HAS MCCAIN EVER DONE TO HELP BLK PPL SOMEBODY EXPLAIN!”
He showed some of us a invention called, a caps lock button…..
@ Realmatic
@ Iwas4guiliani
Speak.
My people, in all fairness, please visit the National Black Republican *****ociations’s website and see that many historic liberal heroes of color were/are Republican.
The NBRA advocates black education, black marriage, black self-sufficiency, and black home ownership. These are principles we are in dire need of as a people. Our upliftment need not be divisive.
Obama is A NEW DAY because Democrats have for too long taken our people for granted and have maintained a status quo where our people have been the backs for everyone else to climb up on. IMHO, Obama is the New Day Party because the Democratic Party really doesn’t desserve him and are lucky to have him.
Liberals have for too long celebrated, romaticized and profitted from black mediocrity and ghettoization.
Please note that a lot of Black Republicans are supporting and voting for Obama. And further note that Obama himself holds and represents a lot of Republican values.
IMHO, McCain has shown Obama a great deal more regard and respect than the liberal Clintons, who directed straight-up overt racist attacks at Obama and black people at large. Bill Clinton compared Obama to a Car Thief!!! (“So, because someone’s not a car thief, does that mean they should be president”) I’m still mad at that one. Not even the Klan is so blatant and brazen these days.
Our people can be DIVERSE and DISAGREE and still be UNITED.
Yes We Can.
@WhatsYoursIsMine
I’m back. . .Yes, in writing, both wives would be attacked, but it seems that the attacks on Michelle Obama, particularly by Fox News, have been more frequent, extreme, and vicious in their racial overtones. And I have yet to read much in depth about Cindy McCain’s past troubles, other than what the overseas press has reported (I also check the BBC and the Times.) I feel that Michelle has been held to greater scrutiny, but that’s just my opinion. Also, I recently read a Pew center poll that found that public opinion of Michelle is more negative than of Cindy.
Politico has Michelle’s entire thesis posted, I believe.
BTW, has anyone mentioned the NRA’s upcoming m*****ive campaign against Obama?
*Pew Center*
@TIGER! ILL THANK HIM FOR THAT ***** CUZ IM HIGH AS A ***** …..IF IT WERENT FOR THIS INVENTION I WOULDNT SEE ***** ! LOL!…..
@TOOSEXY! YOU DO THAT THEN SEXY…. USE YOUR GODLY SENSE TO MAKE THAT CHOICE!
@LADY THAT’S FUNNY CUZ I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT ABOUT YOUR POSTS. NOW I UNDERSTAND MORE, I’M NOT GOING TO LIE I AM JUST IN THE LAST FEW YEARS CHANGING MY WORLD AND I’M LEARING, I REALLY DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO DO IT AND TO BE HONEST NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOLS, WELL NOT IN THE FASION AS FOR AS SCORES AND ALL THAT BECAUSE THE SCHOOL MY KIS WERE ATTENDING WERE ON THE LIST 2 YEARS BEFORE I ACTUALLY WAS LIKE I’M GOING TO UTILIZE THIS PROGRAM. BUT NOW I KNOW NO MATTER WHAT MY KIDS WILL GO TO WHERE I FEEL THEY ARE BEING EDUCATED. LADY, YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE HOW FURTHER ALONG THE LESSONS WERE AND HOW FAR MY CHILD WAS BEHIND TO BE AS SMART AS HE WAS\IS. HE’S NOW FINE, AN EXCELLENT READER,I KNOW HERE IN ALABAMA THEY MAKE YOU PAY TO CHANGE YOUR KIDS TO A SCHOOL THAT YOUR NOT ZONED FOR. BUT THEIR ARE WAYS FOR EVERY THING AND EVEN NOW WHEN I THINK ABOUT MOVING I NOW INCORPORATE THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND THINGS LIKE THAT. IT DOESN’T TAKE A POLITICAN TO TELL YOU YES WE CAN. SO DO YOU THINK THAT THAT POLICY CAN BE CORRECTED OR IS IT JUST A WASTE.
This may be another helpful site for some of you as well — CNN has an online Election Center with a side-by-side *****ysis of McCain and Obama’s stances on issues from the economy to Iraq.
www(dot)cnn(dot)com/ELECTION/2008/
Oh, and WhatsYoursIsMine, I’ve also visited Real Clear Politics, The Drudge Report, and the Daily Kos.
sorry for the caps guys i try to remember.
@TIGER! ILL THANK HIM FOR THAT ***** CUZ IM HIGH AS A ***** …..IF IT WERENT FOR THIS INVENTION I WOULDNT SEE ***** ! LOL!…..
that was too funny!!!!!
listen yall. the system AS IT IS is not working for us. AGREED? agreed.
the two parties are in cahoots and its up to individuals to take care of themselves.
I’ve been all over. I’ve campaigned for dems, supported repubs, and after seeing all my (admittedly few) years have allowed me to see I’m a THIRD PARTY man.
an independent, liberal leaning libertarian.
black, educated, disillusioned, revitalized, and empowered. We are not going to see radical ‘change’ any time soon. but if we let the people in power know that the two-card-monte that is our current system is being exposed for the sham it is we can see change for the future
all you people that want to vote for Barack simply because he is black are FINE with me. that *****s important. I want young black people to realize that there is no limit to what they can do
but all of you who are interested in issues and how our government is conducting itself should at least do some research into the Libertarian party to expand your horizons. not convert, just expand.
@ TooSexy
You know you did have a valid point. You and I both agree that “people deserve to be free.” Having said that, think on this: why do you think that the United States has ignored the plight of so many other nations that have deserved to “be free,” where millions died in vain!!! IE:
1. Rwanda
2. The Congo
3. The Sudan
This past week we just heard stories about how our brother and sisters in Zimbabwe are getting their hands and fingers chopped off because they stand in opposition of Muguabe and refuse to cast their ballots in support of his dictatorship!!!! Has the US given their right to freedom a second glance?
Why is it so important to invest billions into saving Iraq when there are so many other issues (IE the AIDS epidemic, world hunger, and African genocide) that we can invest our efforts in? How are these efforts paramount to our political or economic success? The answer: Iraq and Iran are worth billions of oil dollars…and our president and his family are internationally recognized for being “oil men!” They have exerted their efforts in areas that *****ure them the greatest financial returns. War = debt = billions for the powers that be (IE bankers, arms dealers, oil magnates, etc).
Yes, thank God that there are Americans out there who enlist in the military and fight our battles in combat for us. Bush dispatched our troops and declared war on Iraq in the same breath that he stated that Sadam had WMDs. This tactic fed off of the culture of fear that permeated our nation as a result of 9/11. As it turns out, after we invaded, we weren’t able to locate any WMDs !!!
What I am trying to say is that YES, everyone deserves to be free. This is the right of all sentient beings. Iraq is not the only other nation that deserves our humanitarian and military aid. So why are we picking our battles? The billions that we have invested in this war could have been better served at the homefront. I don’t feel that homeland security has reaped the benefits of our international terrorism in any way, shape, or form.
It’s all about political agenda!! That is also part of the reason that Obama has my vote.
@ too Sexy
Here’s another example of how The No Child Left Behind program fails. Alot of urban universities have after-school programs for working parents etc. These programs received healthy grants in the past and were not in the business of oficially raising test scores, they were denied funding because of this, thus leaving these parents in the lurch.
Now tell me this, inner city parents trying to further themselves by getting an education rely on some of these social programs that we as tax payers pay into. Tell me there isn’t an all out attack on poor people, regardless of race.
An earlier post stated that Barack wants to tax the rich, why not! They sure tax the hell out of the poor. Look up the federal reserve on Youtube, it’s privately held not federally operated like the gov’t would have us believe.
@BadNewsBrown…preach it!
The Black Rep. *****oc. just doesn’t appeal to blacks and definately not poor blacks..Why don’t they take their self sufficent indpendent message to the street, and to some of our poor black neighborhoods, why don’t they act as mentors to some of these misguided young black men who are lost..Having the attitude “Get yours like I got mine” does not work for everyone..The thing about Black Republicans is they come off as being uppity intellects who are out of touch with the working cl***** people, a lot of my veiws are conservative and I’m all for being educated and independent, but you have to take a certain approach when trying to get a message to a certain cl***** of people. Maybe black republicans intentions are good but their approach is wrong.
@WhatsYoursIsMine
Hey, I just found the link on Politico for Michelle’s thesis, www(dot)politico(dot)com/news/stories/0208/8642(dot)html
Speaking of black conservatives, I was very surprised to read Armstrong Williams’ observations recently on Obama. He was complimentary. And below is a quote from J.C. Watts in U.S. News & World Report:
“I’m a free agent,” says Watts, who is one of the only two black Republicans to serve in the House of Representatives since the 1930s. “I wouldn’t just vote for a Republican candidate just because they are Republican, no more than I would vote for a black candidate just because they’re black.” For Watts it’s not the historical nature of the race that leaves him undecided, it’s frustration toward his own party. “African-American Republicans in the faith community are the most forgotten demographic in the Republican Party,” Watts says. And he hopes the GOP will allot more resources toward attracting black voters.
Yeh I see what you mean about having to pay to go outside of your district which is messed up. The reprecussions of me goin outside of my district was that I didn’t get a free bus travel p***** because they looked at as I created my own traveling incovenience so I walked to school since it was about 3/4 a mile. I also found out that another girl in my area did the same so we walked together and carpooled when the weather was really bad with our parents taking turns. I think the policy can be corrected but, the economy is terrible so there’s no funding to begin the corrections at the moment. The best thing to do is to try and hire a tutor for your child and keep encouraging them to keep some type of motivation. Pretty much keep them away from the tv and have them read or make games out of things dealing with education. I don’t have any kids yet, but I often took care of my little bro and sis after school while my parents were at work.
Many poor people should realize that everything learned is written somewhere. Donald Trump and half of these rich people read books about real estate and stock. You can find these books at a library, online, and even go to Barnes and *****le and read for free. Spend about a half hour each day taking notes learning how to watch the stock market. Just because our markets go down doesn’t mean the rich lose their money because they know when to buy and sell and wen to pull out.
@ Stefany
I totally agree with you, the BRA does need to tweak their message if their intended demographic is indeed the downtrodden African American. Their “one size fits all approach” indeed makes them appear out of touch with the community.
I use to think that too to some extent, why don’t they just work harder, get an education or get a better job. Not everyone deals with their external influences the same way, if that was the case we would all be affluent.
This is another example of how those shaky scales work!!!

@BADNEWSBRN! YOU GOT THAT RIGHT TWO SIDE OF ONE COIN,LEFT WING RIGHT WING SAME BIRD! SPEAK THE TRUTH BAD NEWS!
@trs yea that’s true some things just can’t be explained but i feel that to their hatred for isral played a big part in their demise. but i can’t even begin to think of something of my own knowledge to answer that. @bb thanks, i guess you have to think about how it affects everything but i asked lady this also do you think it can be changed or it is just a complete waste?
TRS@ We have done more for Africa than the rest of the world put together. Africa’s problem is they keep in power the Mugabe’s & Charles Taylor’s & Amin’s. Much like here at home,the wounds are self inflicted.
bb@ Obama is preaching the same old cl***** warfare crap Karl Marx was pushing 100 years ago. The problem is local education districts controled by teachers unions & the one party politics that have run those systems into the ground for 50+ years.
IM OUT! THANK YOU TO ALL MY BLK GENIUSES IN THIS FORUM, ITZ BEEN ENLIGHTENING AND A HONOR TO BE AMONG YOUR BRILLIANCE! TIME TO GET MY DRIZZINK ON!
I’m gone good evening everyone
hey i gotta go to i enjoyed this a whole lot, i might go home and holler at yall but i doubt it its something about being at work on the computer, be safe.
@BadNewsBrown
Co-sign!
CAIN WAS A REPUBLICAN…
HE RESPONDED “AM I MY BROTHERS KEEPER”? WHEN ASKED WHERE WAS ABEL.
THAT’S THE SAME RESPONSE REPUB’S GIVE WHEN ASKED THE PLIGHT OF THIER FELLOW MAN IN THIS COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD.
I think that WHEN (not if) Obama becomes President there will be alot of mad people around even to the point were they will use violence to suppress their pain whinch is sad b/c it pains me to see that there are still people out there that not what races to mix together. Ads like this one will only get badder as election time comes about. SMH. I will always ride for Obama but I really I’m starting to feel for his safety. SMGDM.
@ too sexy
It has some good elements, but many bad ones as well. I don’t work in education, and I wouldn’t dare to suggest what would work for them, because I’m sure I wouldn’t get it right.
@ Tiger
If you had someone chopping off your hands and/or fingers, threatining your life, or raping your Mothers, Sisters, or Aunts en m*****e in order to steal your vote chances are that you wouldn’t be able to keep the Mugabe’s or Amin’s out of power either. I don’t have the time to argue what the US has or has not done for Africa, but all I see is promises that have yet to be delivered (in terms of aid, etc). Nevertheless, I respect your opinion.
I hope that everyone enjoys their day! It’s been real!
The secret service will be working overtime when Obama gets elected!!
Their “one size fits all approach” indeed makes them appear out of touch with the community.
*********************************************
Thank you BB,
Although some can work their way up from the streets, get educated and be successful that just doesn’t work for every black person in America..I know a lot of educated brothas with no criminal records who still struggle in coporate Amerikkka, not because their not educated or qualified or but just because they’re black..Clarence Thomas rags to riches story just don’t work for all black men, how many black supreme justices are there? He’s the only spot sitting on the board..Sometimes the system only works for those highly educated blacks who share their same lilly white views..Some of these black republicans act like blacks are just sitting around in the welfare line waiting on a hand out or we’re waiting on Barack to put on is super save a ***** cape and take us to the promise land..Like I said I agree with some of their veiws but the BRA has a serious image problem with black America.
Trs@ That why Americans have a 2nd Amendment. It’s not about duck hunting. Muagbe 30 years ago was seen as a “Obama” of his time. Now he’s become worse than Rhodesia leaders ever were. Too Bad Obama think guns & bibles are campaign jokes. Well the jokes on him…..
Stefany@ Notice how *****ody else needs “mentors?” See any Korean Mentors? See any Polish mentors? See any Puerto Rican mentors? You don’t need mentors to till you to comb your hair & stop wearing jeans 10 times your size. You don’t need mentors to tell you if you are on the Maury show “ten” times for a paternity test, your screwed up. Stay in school, eat your vegetables your mommy gives you, stay within the 10 Commandments & drop the looser guys; Do that most folks get through life with little drama.
Stefany,
If anyone’s elitist I think they definitely fit the bill. Look at Clarence’s wife, he couldn’t find a sister to marry, oh no I think often times they too have identity crisis when time and time again they go out of their way to prove to corporate and white America “see I’m not like them.”
I currently hold a professional position in corporate America and it’s a daily struggle maintaining my identity here. I have black colleagues willing to do whatever it takes to jump through hoops to shake that preconceived perception we think whites have of us, but I refuse to be bogged down with all that ducking and diving, b’cus my integrity isn’t for sale.
Tiger-
People of all races have mentors. Read about foreign leaders and who influenced them. More often than not, they also worked for them at some point.
Sorry Steffany, Bossip is pushing the guy in the cape theory….
they go out of their way to prove to corporate and white America “see I’m not like them

Excellent point BB!

Stefany@ Notice how *****ody else needs “mentors?” See any Korean Mentors? See any Polish mentors? See any Puerto Rican mentors? You don’t need mentors to till you to comb your hair & stop wearing jeans 10 times your size. You don’t need mentors to tell you if you are on the Maury show “ten” times for a paternity test, your screwed up. Stay in school, eat your vegetables your mommy gives you, stay within the 10 Commandments & drop the looser guys; Do that most folks get through life with little drama.
@TIGER,
And no other race has went through the bull***** that the African has either, of course every race has it’s its struggles but what other race has been enslaved,hanged, raped, had their religous sanctuary burned to the ground, spit on! Like I said every race has issues but blacks have been treated more harshly than any other race on the planet and we’re suffering..And life isn’t that easy as eat your vegetables and stay in school.
hey,cool???
If Rev. Wright is Obama’s idea of a mentor? I’ll p***** on him and his election.
SO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR FUN RIGHT NOW??
WOW!

@blkbandit(Check me out!)
Obama has a right to be arrogant and elitist , you cannot get to be president with low self esteem, can you? You have to think you are the best, and he is one of them. He is intelligent, well spoken, and a role model for all men worldwide. he takes care of his family and loves his wife as well.
Obama does not have to bring himself down for anyone. You are just jealous and a hater
@Realmatics dumb-*****ed excerpt:
Abortion is wrong, negotiating with terrorist is a dummy move, taxing the wealthy and the people who create jobs will dig us into a deep recession, pulling out of Iraq immediately will throw that region into chaos, and pushing universal healthcare, open borders and other entitlements will drag this country further into a cultural and social dung hole.
—————————————————
The Bush Administration recently signed an agreement with North Korea, debatably the one of the most dangerous nuclear capable terrorist nations on the planet, and has had an undersecretary of the State Department “speaking” with IRAN for the past year. Nonetheless, you ignore this fact and blindly condemn Sen. Obama’s stance that we open dialogue–as we have for decades–with our enemies. Next,Do you make individually over $250K/yr, then you don’t benefit from the BUSH tax cuts. Sen. Obama plan cuts taxes for Americans making less than $250K/yr. while restoring the pre-bush tax rates for corporations and on individuals making over $250K (a 4% increase from 35% max rate to 39%). By the way only 5% of Americans or 2.5million out of 100 million tax payers fit that category. Additionally, the Bush tax cuts–that McCain would like to continue–roll back in 2010, the deficit created by them and “balloon payment” for those cuts must be paid back…irregardless who is in Office at the time. One would be hard pressed to argue that any of the Bush/McCain tax cuts for corporations have worked over the past 7 1/2 years. Frankly, most economist agree; We are in a recession, fool!! And you want to simplify the issue with ignorance…daaamn!!
Now, about our troop withdrawal somehow throwing the region into Chaos. Our destruction of the Iraqi infastructure–governing, social & educational–under the guise of, first containing Sadaams WMD’s, then liberating the Iraqi people–took care of that a long time ago. BUSH/McCain, continue to ignore where the original enemy is battling us–Afghanistan. Our troops are stretched out, compromising our National Security. Anyway, Who are we fighting there? the Iraqi forces, many referred to as “TSI”–The Sons of Iraq–have been compromised with flip-flops in loyalty among it’s ranks and hierarchy, between U.S & Sunni and Sheite factions. The argument to continue in Iraq is no longer fueled by blinding fear mongering rehtoric. $162 billion in spending woke many of us up!!
We are a nation of immigrants, many great Americans were 1st generation from there homeland. One of the most popular Republican Governors, Arnold Schwarzzenegar is an immigrant. John McCain is flip-flopping and taking a position contrary to the immigration bill he himself sponsored in 2004!! WTF is that!
Listen, Realmatic/idiot, apparently you don’t read much and have fallen victim to the insidious and ludicrous practice of using unsubstantiated “Faux News” sound bites as do*****ented truth!
Wake up, yo! You’re headed in circle, ending with your head up your own azz!!!
@ Realmatic
Wow I rarely get offended on these blogs when someone (particularly a male) calls a woman a *****, w*****, ***** and any other sexist, racial, unintelligent epithat. Today however you have offended me in a way that is hard for me to put in to words. First of all let me start by saying that if you read a lot of these blog entries, you will see that there are educated people on here with intelligent things to say. For you to make the remark “poor, uneducated simpletons”…you’re *****uming that we don’t know the issues at hand, we don’t know what is at stake for this country, that we don’t want better for ourselves, that we want to be stuck in a society that is totally dependent on a handout from the government, that we are not “aware” of what Obama has to face when and if he does get into the Whitehouse. No one is saying that he is perfect or that he’s the “negro saviour”, nor are we saying that his political platform suits all the needs of the American people, yes American people not just black folks, we just want a change. Only time will tell what’s going to happen in the future, but in the meantime, I encourage everyone to vote for who you think is going to move this country forward, not hold us back or keep us where we are. Realmatic, I challenge you to be more open minded and less offensive when comment on these issues, because you only implicate yourself as a “poor, uneducated, simpleton”. Peace to you man.
Stefany@ Ever hear of some folks called Native Americans? I think they might dissagree… Jews,Chinese & others would as well. Point is, *****ody has asked you to pick cotton lately. Stop trying to use that as a crutch. Black America needs to grow up and stop trying live this hip hop dream Bossip & BET keeps feeding us everyday.
On another note: Brohers and Sisters, this whole “house *****/field *****” rap is indicative a an *****imliation to a broader problem. Let’s not buy into the Thomas Lynch mentality. Truth be told niether the field slave or the house slave was the real problem…it was the Foreman slave. The ***** m*****a gave extras for whippin others with the whip in the field & preventing from running off.”Go git that *****, Tom. You wanna keep that hey bed and them shoes don’t cha?!” LMAO
Although, I realize and admit we are not monolithic in our beliefs or affiliations, NBRA or any other black person with any intelligence NOT voting on Sen. Obama should be ridiculed and shunned by the rest of us. If not for there ignorance, but certianly for there blindness!
@ Tiger
OMG!!! YOU FIGURED IT OUT!!! ONLY BLACKS HAVE MENTORS.
ALL OTHER RACES, COLORS & CREEDS DON’T NEED THEM. THEY ALL DO IT ON THIER OWN WITH NO HELP & NO PROBLEMS!!!
NO OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS HAVE ANY SUPPORT SYSTEMS.
NO OTHER’S HAVE ANY SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS TO *****IT THEM, INFORM THEM OR PROTECT THEM.
THEY ALL DO IT INDIVIDUALLY, INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHERS!!!
THEY DON’T GIVE OR GET HELP… EVER!!!
AMAZING
Great dialogue today!
@2cute4U don’t get so easily offended, everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Hey Stefany
if you didn’t know this, i’ll let you in on a little secret.. EVERY culture has been enslaved at some point in time… blacks, white europeans, asians, africans, polish, russians… So please don’t play the blame game.. because every culture has been enslaved at some point in time…

Thank God for a voice of reason on this site.
However do not expect these closed minds to open up for mere facts.
George Wallace was a Democrat who stood at the steps of Central AK High to prevent blacks from entering and blacks still vote Democrat.
Democrat leaders created the KKK and blacks still vote Democrat.
Democrats in Congress tried to stall civil rights legislation for years and blacks still vote Democrat.
Democrats in the South fought to prevent abolitionist from speaking in public and endorsed Jim Crow laws and black still vote Democrat.
I could go on, and on…
But blacks would still vote Democrat.
Fortunately I follow the precepts of Dr. ML King Jr, and I judge a person or candidate by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
You people are nothing but a bunch of bigots, and anyone who dares to disagree is dismissed as an Uncle Tom so that you do not have to debate the issues.
Shaking My Head
Correction to my previous post— I got Bull Connor mixed up with Wallace in my frustration.
Da truff hurz@ Lets put it this way. I’ve yet to see a fight at Country music Awards show or somebody bust a cap at the ALMA’s. Go to the Source Awards & it’s lots folks in need of “Mentoring.”
Most of white republicans are racist. and to those black republicans whitys wont still wont like you ***** just cause you are a republican. They still think you aint nothing but a nig**r.
I’ve found more racism on the bossip boards than at any GOP event.
Lawd, Lawd…We need to do better!!!! Just because we don’t agree, we should not attack each other. That is why other races are overtaking us, because if niccas don’t agree…niccas attack!! Fight it out in prayer, and at the voting booth.
@ WhatsYoursIsMine:
I wholly agree with you, but technically the definition of maverick in the dictionary is: Not conforming to accepted rules or standards. So, McCain is a maverick because he portrays himself as one thing, and as you pointed out, his voting record tells another story.
@Realmatic
OMG you are male me!!! I totally agree with you. You are a genius. Nothing more can be said, you have said it all.

WoW!!!
YOU JUST MISS, SHIFT & MOVE ON HUH?!?!?
EVEN THO YOU DID NOT RESPOND TO MINE, I WILL TO YOURS…
I’VE NEVER SEEN THE CMA’s OR THE ALMA’s SO i KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.
BUT WITH YOUR COMPARISON TO THE SOURCE AWARDS, I GUESS THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY COUNTRY, LATIN, OR ANY OTHER NON-BLACK ARTISTS WHO HAVE BEEN IN TROUBLE OR IN NEED OF “MENTORING”!!!
PS: *****ODY GOT TO “BUST A CAP” @ THE 2000 SOURCE AWARDS. THERE WAS AN IDIOTIC INCIDENT WITH A FEW MINOR INJURIES BUT (UNFORTUNATLY FOR SOME) NO CAPS.
@ Busybee
Using Democrat/Republican for anything 50+ years ago is sort of inaccurate and moot at this point (and I vote republican sometimes). During the civil war era, the Republicans were considered the “liberals” of that time, they were referred to as the Radical Republicans. The Republicans lost out and alienated the Black vote for generations to come due to Barry Goldwater/Richard Nixon and the “Southern Strategy”. The party has even come forth publically to apologize to blacks about it, the RNC chairmen Ken Mehlman did it in 2005(didnt get much or any media coverage tho). The Republicans still were using it in 2000 when Bush’s crew used it to ironically smear McCain in the south claiming he fathered a ***** black child…
That being said, this ad is very tasteless and sad. both candidates are fine men, love their country, and their reputations shouldnt be dragged through the mud like this. I hope Michael Steele who I voted for didnt cosign or play any part in this.
This Reminds Me Of A Saying, “If You Can’t Buy A Negro You Can Always Rent One”

@ ME,
If you read my post I clearly stated that ALL races have their struggles and I also stated in another post above that we as black people have brought some things on ourselves, I’m also well aware of the fact that the African wasn’t the only race enslaved you’re not telling me anything new. I’m far from playing the blame game sweetheart.
I agree. Just because Obama is BLACK I am NOT going to vote for him. If Obama was white half yall know you wouldn’t be riding his ***** like you are now. Obama ain’t doing ***** for gas prices, all he’s doin is taxing the rich and handing it over to the poor. I suggest the “poor” get a damn job or go to college if they want to make the money that I’m making. I am NOT working me ***** off for Obama to tax me more, HELL NO!! some of yall don’t care because yall aint making your money like we rich people are **not to brag**. But honestly, all yall “Obama” supporters need to calm your emotions because he isn’tgoing to win no matter what so sit back, relax and watch John Mccain win. BET has brainwashed you unintelligent people. AND the fact that Obama supports gays disgusts me, if you are a “Christian” you should be a Republican. GO MCCAIN!! I know yall hate me but it’s my opinion I dont vote for skin color I vote for ways.
And might I add, that it’s VERY unprofessional to take sides on a website blog. It just shows how ignorant you people are. It also shows that yall are little kids that need to grow up ..” “President” Bush”….how childish is that. Just because you may not like him you don’t have to be forceing to whole situation. amd becuase blacks are against Obama you call thme A**holes. C’mon, Idk how old yall are whose writing these post but know one thing, you’re being VERY ignorant so how about you grow the up. GO MCCAIN!!
They are so wrong.Lets pray for these ignorant people.
Obama your truth is so obvious…I am your supporter!!!love to Obama.

@DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!
You make a very valid point but if you notice other ethnic groups have something that the black race don’t have, “a family unit” if you look at Hispanics, Asians, Puerto Ricans, Indians they have a family unit and a support system..I don’t care how poor or uneducated they are they know the value of family and sticking together, when you see a Mexican or Chinese family most of the time you see a mother and father and you just don’t see a lot of that among poor black families because 9 times out of 10 it’s a absent father single mother househould..Having a family structure and a father present makes a world of difference in a childs life, having a support system is more valuable than being raised with money, that’s why other Ethnic groups don’t need mentors…And on the other hand that’s why a lot of these rich white kids are so fuc*ed up because they’re raised with a lot money and material things but their parents don’t pay them any attention.
This is also why other races can come to America and get ahead because they know the value of sticking together, they’re a lot more disciplined.
Neither party has lived up to their expectations in my opinion.
During the 70’s the USA had an energy crisis, yet we are still facing the same issue today.
Did you hear the story about China paid $22 Billion Dollars to get oil at the price of gas at $3.00 per gallon? If it is true, gas will continue to be higher than $3.00 per gallon.
If gas continues to rise, prices for other services and goods will continue to rise

Save your “your only voting for Brack because he’s black bull*****” like white poeple aren’t voting for McCain just because he’s white, what about all of that poor white trash who can’t even read who’s voting For McCain just because they don’t want a black man in office, so the race game goes both ways..And if Republicans are such high and mighty Christians why in the hell is America at war, if you’re such *****ing Christians you should be against killing, right?..And blacks being brainwashed by BET, spoken like a true idiot, you’re the fools being brainwashed just like in 2004 when Bush played your dumb *****es with that religon speech and once he got elected he didn’t do a damn thing for abortion or gay rights…And give me a damn break with that gay ***** because gays have been here since the beginning of time and will be with us always no matter who you put in office.

I agree. Obama has said some things that i thought were a little questionable, and sometimes im not sure if he’s just talking or if he’s really confident in what he’s saying. that could be said about anyone, not just Obama.
The last thing I want to see is America’s first black president fail. I’m not saying he will, nor do I want him to, but regardless of color, this is still politics.
@ Houston’s finest
Have you ever heard of the Working Poor? Theres some misinformation about the tax cut thing that needs to be addressed. The tax cuts have overwhelmingly benefited the rich compared to everyone else (McCain said it himself back then which is why he originally voted against it) and instead of the rich reinvesting it back into society for job growth (along with Corporate Welfare) they didnt do it enough, which IMO is partly why the economy is the way it is along with Bush and his Corporate Energy buddies dictating our Energy Policy. Usually I would vote republican and thus McCain, but with a HUGE debt to Japanese and Chinese banks due to a war on terror with no projected end AND rising, I’ll p*****. The man didnt even know the difference between a Shiite and Sunni and said Iran was funding Al Qaeda! This was in March of this year! WTF?! those dudes have NO idea what theyre doing over in the middle east man…
You should know that back in the day, most black people were Republicans. Also many of these “Black Republiklans” have forgotten where they came from and who they are. They’ve gone from Black to Green (and I don’t mean the environment). Many of you may say and feel WTF? But this is the true. To keep these ***** wipes under control, white folks fund special projects for them to keep pale faces best interests at heart. You this is why all of us are about to hear and feel the distraction that’s about to take place. There is much more than Obama being President at stake here. These nicca’s in the Black Republiklan party want to continue to get paid and not be *****ociated with the hood folks. This whole situation is like a drug dealer making $10 grand an hour and then having to go work at McDonalds for $7 bucks an hour. There are a lot of factors present that don’t want Obama in the White House and The White House is called that for a reason. Change when dealing with black folks is hard for white people to deal with. I wish Obama the best.

Bossip is doing exactly what they claim the black republicans are doing. Being divisive. If Barack was to see this page he would quickly repudiate and denounce Bossip…then what?
I am really sick of people downing other individuals because of their own views. People will look at us if we support Barack as dellusional and we look at others the same if they support another candidate. Neither one of us is wrong or right.
Bossip, get over it and move on. Stop calling other people Uncle Toms as pretend as though this site has educated people running it.
do you all really think black republicans came up with that ad? the CAUC*****IAn leadersip of the Republican party runs them. I understand that it’s a shame that CERTAIN blacks are voting for Obama because he’s black without having informed themselves about the issues or Obama’s ideals and background. But to say all people of color are voting for Obama because he’s black is ridiculous and an insult. also, there are planty of WHITES who will vote for McCain because he’s white without being informed. What about them?
lastly, it’s a shame that black republicans would beat up on another black who has so many merits such as Obama. Come on now. You don’t got to vote for him but credit where credit is due. Obama should make EVERYONE proud to be a person of color in America right now. repubican, independent or democrat Obama should make you proud to be an American period.

Before you vote ask yourself- “Are you better off than you were four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment than there was four years ago?”
im not going to vote anyways im going by the bible i aint trying get a sin for that mess.
@ real something anyways it seems very well to me when black men get a college degree and has a good career makeing good money yall dont know how to act and you brag and you act so dumb and childish. good for you and your degree thats great. my whole point is yall forget where yall come from and thats why god bring yo ***** up and bring you right back to where you was (broke) yall think money is every thing.
i have a college degree in my career working on my own business but it does not make me any better then any body i be talking ***** but for real it does not and i never forget where the hell i come from. humble i was taught to be humble and raised up to be happy for somebody who made they goals most black people was not raised that look at the hate in this world. my mother and father are not bitter so they raised the best woman they did and i turned out allmost close to perfect pretty much when i see how people liven they life. and people listen to you to be real only people listen to you if you are not a leader 99% chance your a follower *****ody gives a ***** what kinda degree you have not even white people. lol so in all that said yall gone fail hard black men in business yall think others give a damn about you when they could care less about yo monkey *****.

Speak.
My people, in all fairness, please visit the National Black Republican *****ociations’s website and see that many historic liberal heroes of color were/are Republican.
The NBRA advocates black education, black marriage, black self-sufficiency, and black home ownership. These are principles we are in dire need of as a people. Our upliftment need not be divisive.
Obama is A NEW DAY because Democrats have for too long taken our people for granted and have maintained a status quo where our people have been the backs for everyone else to climb up on. IMHO, Obama is the New Day Party because the Democratic Party really doesn’t desserve him and are lucky to have him.
Liberals have for too long celebrated, romaticized and profitted from black mediocrity and ghettoization.
Please note that a lot of Black Republicans are supporting and voting for Obama. And further note that Obama himself holds and represents a lot of Republican values.
IMHO, McCain has shown Obama a great deal more regard and respect than the liberal Clintons, who directed straight-up overt racist attacks at Obama and black people at large. Bill Clinton compared Obama to a Car Thief!!! (”So, because someone’s not a car thief, does that mean they should be president”) I’m still mad at that one. Not even the Klan is so blatant and brazen these days.
Our people can be DIVERSE and DISAGREE and still be UNITED.

Boycott? Come on now. You know black folks are scared of two things: Republicanism and Revolution. Bossip and Liberalism are safe and black folks will always support things that detroy them and will always destroy black people who stand up. I applaud your effort but your wasting your breath here. And this is the sad ***** truth.
The definitionn : THE BLACK REPUBLICAN!
1. a BLACK PERSON WHO: said in elementary school, why does everything have to be “black”
2. I won’t shop @ a black place “just because they’re black”,if the service is bad,i won’t tell the manager like i would those white places,i just won’t go back.
3. I think i’ll buy that nice blouse at the store on Ventura blvd.(when it’s the SAME blouse for the SAME PRICE on Crenshaw!
4.Will stop talking about black subjects,when they get in an elevator filled with whites…..whoa!
5.Love’s calling themselves…gulp!…BI-RACIAL! Then tries to explain it.
5.Refuses to give great customer service to other blacks–but will break their backs to help white customer’s.
6.Will move to a white neighborhood,in a house they hate…just to make a point. Then has to move out in 2yr.s because they signed and ARM (adusted rate mortgage!)
Oh…i could go on and on…..
We will always be our own undoing! Is self defeat–ism on our genes?
think
think
These “types” ARE republicans,eventhough they don’t vote that way…YET!
PEEP THIS!
How many on you bossip hater’s got on here and ranted&raved AGAINST OBAMA, then and only then,when he started to win,AND THEN WHITEY OK (validated-him) did you guys get on here and start with the “YES WE CAN” STUFF?
Let’s keep it real!
think
To black folks are scared of 2 things..
unfortunately you are correct!
When bossip had MAYA ANGLELOU under the moniker”
Hoe sit down…..people talked online,but stayed. I now pop in from time to time to see that most of those same people are haven’t left.I was one of the only people that boycotted. When i would come back, they censored me.
I told the poster’s that bossip was racist then. DO BLACK’S REALY CARE ABOUT RACISM…..NO! Most blacks are comfortable in a racist situation,because it means that they won’t be held accountable for their APATHY,and low expectation for themselves!It’s comfortable pointing the finger and playing the victim.

NEWSFLASH FROM HUFFINGTON POST:
STEPHEN BALDWIN WILL LEAVE THE US IF OBAMA WINS!!!
*in sarcastic tone* OH NO! We can’t afford to lose Stephen Baldwin!!!!!
PUH-LEAZE! I’m sick of people threatening to leave if their party doesn’t win. I actually know a small handful of people who did leave the US after Bush won his 2nd term. I also know military members who chose not to extend their service time when he won in 2004. I’m sick of people saying, if this happens, I’ll do this. Stephen Baldwin be on some reality show in Spring of 2009, based in the US.

Although I’m an independent and third party man, i was down for voting for Barack as soon as Ron Paul bowed out.
the symbolism of his candidacy was enough for me.
but once I heard he is going to do nothing to roll back the gross abuse of power dubbed “THE PATRIOT ACT” by the current administration…I had to take pause.
here’s my issues:
*Energy (we should be on red alert to develop ALTERNATIVE ENERGY here in America AND start drilling our own oil instead of messing with foreign oil AND stop the American oil companies from gouging prices like they’re doing)
*Education (We need to do something to stop the Asian countries from kicking our *****es in test scores, to decrease teen pregnancy, to increase gun safety and awareness [not ban guns], and to do better for the earth God gave us)
*Environment (see education)
*Gun safety (see education)
*Economy (fair distribution of taxes [HA!], help out the rapidly disappearing middle cl*****)
*Civil/Constitutional Rights (no patriot act, reformation of IRS and Federal Reserve, continual dialogue on race relations)

@WhatsYoursIsMine
Good morning
Are you serious about Stephen Baldwin? I have to read that story. The Baldwins have enough problems of their own to overcome. SMH.
BTW, BlackAmericaWeb(dot)com has an interesting commentary today about the possible impact of Obama’s outreach to black voters on whites. Excerpt below:
“The Barack Obama campaign is devising a m*****ive, gr*****-roots strategy to mobilize a record number of black voters in November and build on the euphoria among African-Americans who want to elect the nation’s first black president.
Political experts say a high black turnout in the presidential election — perhaps more than 30 percent — could favor Obama and would help him win his unprecedented and historic bid for the White House.
But some Democratic strategists told BlackAmericaWeb.com that appealing directly to black voters is a slippery slope because Obama runs the risk of alienating white voters who have embraced his vision for a multi-cultural electorate as Obama continues to remind voters that he also half-white.”
@Tiray
You also are so on point.
But mind you though, some Black Republicans were the black kids, like me, who stood up to racism (no, racist white teacher, I can be the greatest and whatever I choose) and none of the safe liberal majority had our backs.
Some of us Black Republicans were the black kids who just can’t be down with the apathetic people pleasing go along with the majority ***** kissing of white liberals who instigate black infighting and then create “social programs” to rescue us from the very demise and status-quo-mediocrity they instigated for us in the first place under the false pretense of “great white liberal hope benevolence”. Don’t get this Black Republican started…
And trust, one doesn’t cancel out the other. I can be me and still I believe and say…
Obama 2008.
Yes We Can.
Because Black Republican believed Obama could even before Obama was born. Never settle for what they say they will permit you to have. And lets learn our whole history.
@WhatsYoursIsMine
Since you love Jack and Jill Politics, too, you’ve probably already seen this gem of a quote from one of my favorite conservative pundits (voice dripping with sarcasm) Shelby Steele, author of “Why We Are Excited About Obama and Why He Can’t Win.”
From TheAtlantic(dot)com:
Shelby Steele Hearts White People
01 Jul 2008 04:42 pm
Says on a panel “white Americans have made more moral progress in the last forty years than any people in the history of the human conditions.” I think this is the sort of thing that gets you invited back to tony gatherings at scenic resorts.
Stephen Baldwin is an ***** and an insult to real Republicans who know the real deal. He better start packing and call the moving company. Let him be on his way. Good riddance and safe travels.
Don’t sleep on the gr*****roots RFO (Republicans for Obama) action either. We are accessing places ordinarily not accessed and bringing the change we can believe in. We need all our people and all our resources to make it happen in 08-16. Yes We Can.
@Black Folks are Scared of Two Things. . .
Are you an Obamacan?
As for the crap the Repubs are spouting..I will say the same words Ice-T said to souljah boy…EAT A *****!
@Sydney
Yes I am and Yes We Can
@Black Folks are Scared of Two Things. . .
LOL, go on with your bad self!
FYI, another newsflash from The Huffington Post:
The co-host of a recent top-dollar fundraiser for Sen. John McCain oversaw the payment of roughly $1.7 million to a Colombian paramilitary group that is today designated a terrorist organization by the United States.
Carl H. Lindner Jr., the billionaire Cincinnati businessman, was CEO of Chiquita Brands International from 1984 to 2001, and remained on the company’s board of directors until May 2002. Beginning under his tenure, Chiquita executives paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (known by the Spanish acronym AUC), which is described by George Washington University’s National Security Archive as an “illegal right-wing anti-guerrilla group tied to many of the country’s most notorious civilian m*****acres.”
@TBird
You tell the Repubs to EAT A *****.
And this Repub is responding with I LOVE YOU.
Because I will not fall into the infighting trap. We in for this change and new day together.
At the end of the day we all want our people to be able to go to the doctor, get an education, be employed, own a home, and raise our families up.
Don’t let the labels fool you into thinking we enemies. You didn’t mean what you said. You saw the word Republican and mistook me for an ***** like Stephen Baldwin. And I can respect that but now you know. Unite not fight. Peace.
@Sydney-
I havne’t been able to look at much in the past hour or so. I’m a number cruncher so I’m trying to get my quarter ready before I leave for the holiday and I’m imagining all kind of career prospects that don’t involve wasting away behind a computer all day.
My grandmother’s little brother told me about Shelby Steele this morning, but I have to look that up. THANKS!
@ Black Folk are afraid of two things
How can you say you are Republican and vote for an obvious Liberal like Obama? Regardless of his color, or the symbolism, I disagree with Liberalism and I refuse to vote for anyone who is as far left as Obama. I am a Black Republican who still lives in “the Hood” even though I am also a business woman. I never left, and I constantly see reinforcement in my neighborhood that Liberalism is DESTROYING BLACK PEOPLE!
@busybee
liberalism isn’t destroying black people. black people are destroying black people. Jews are a HUGE bloc of the Democratic party and tend to be to the left. Now, aren’t Jews one of the most wealthy and powerful minority groups in the country? do some reading and you will find out Jews outnumber other minoirities when it comes to being company CEOs, presidents of universities, business owners, politicians. college professors. your argument has just been completely gutted.
Hmmm, A party That calls you “Nothing But Retarded A**holes” Or suggests in the words Mr. T bird,”to EAT A *****.” vs. one that judges by the content of character rather than melonin content…. Hmmmm so hard to choose???? ONe day the folks in the Jack***** party will wake up and stop to see what 60+ years of Democrat power has produced. Places like Newark, Detroit, DC, Chicago & Phila dephia…..

My post that you responded to was a SARCASTIC response to someone else!
EVERY: Ethnic & Racial group in this country has a mentoring system.
They all have people & organizations in place to help them.
The “FAMILY UNITS” you mentioned, ARE a mentoring system.
They also have doctors, lawyers, business ppl, politicians, entertainers, etc., that they rely on to *****ist them.
EVERYBODY HAS & NEEDS MENTORS!!!
PS: Oh yea, many Black people do have good family units that love & support. I’M IN ONE!
HOPE YOU ARE TOO…
@Busy Bee
You are very right!
I know Bossip bloggers will hate this, but IMHO, I feel Obama IS a Republican and is only a strategic liberal. This world may, as some say, not be ready for a black president BUT this world is REALLY NOT READY for a Black Conservative president.
IMO Obama’s life reads as a Conservative American Dream with a conscious effort *****erted to “appeal to and appear liberal” which a lot of Black Conservatives feel forced to do in order for cultural acceptance.
Also being biracial, his cultural allegiance and credibility are already additionally challenged by black people so “being liberal” is a chosen compromise. Make sense?
People say Black Conservatives are so called “Toms for the purpose of gaining social acceptance” when in actuality we are outcasts. And outcasts don’t win the presidency.
I agree the symbolism is important. I am also very disappointed in McCain as the Republican nominee. So many other better choices.
Thanks for the reply. I am interested in your thoughts.

What I can’t stand about Liberalism is the trickery of encouraging behavior in black folks that white liberals and their token black puppets would never entertain themselves.
Hillary Clinton would never have a baby outside of marriage. But it’s like liberals expect and uphold defeatin behavior as being “really” black.
Nothing makes a liberal madder then a black person defying stereotypes and not needing their help or hand out.
And I don’t man rich blacks I mean those of us who would rather work three menial jobs and go to school on the weekends than take a liberal hand out.
Which was proven by the vicious Clinton/liberal adversity to Obama. Why Obama identifies as liberal?!! I don’t know. But I guess I do know as I explained upthread. Black Republicans are outcasts and outcasts don’t become president and blak folks don’t support Black Republicans.
Even if Obama’s views and policies were exactly the same as hey are and he just called himself a Republican even just for a week, black folks would abandon him.
Liberalism is actually the path of least resistance for him.
**defeating behavior**
**And I don’t mean**
sorry for typos.
Let me just be the one to say that I was all to happy to hear JayZ speak his peace on Bush. For real what if he had dropped of his *****ing plane that would have indeed being something.
The Republicans are going to go all out, I was watching Rudy yesterday on CNN the situation room and based on that and several other interviews by key republicans the only two things they have going for them is race and experience. What I find nothing short of hilarious is that John McCain is experience cannot make up for lack of tact and ability to handle situations with high intellectual capacity and John McCain is lacking that. Call it as you want, I have a problem with someone who claims he has all of this foreign policy experience but cannot speak coherently. How are you expecting to negotiate with these people, what are you planning to do have a teleprompter over your head as you speak to them. Its ridiculous, If you cannot state your ideas in a logical manner without it being written out for you, I cannot believe in your ability to go into foreign affairs discussions and come out with the winning hand.
@ Caroliza..
I will keep this brief because I am busy…
Jews are wealthy because of a cultural work/savings ethic, not because they are Liberal. Liberalism supports aborting black babies (see recent Planned Parenthood scandal 2008). Liberalism props up underperforming public schools, welfare, Social Security, the so called War on Drugs and countless other idiot social programs. Liberalism supports gun-control, which has been proven to HURT inner-cities the most…So YOUR arguement, as you so artfully put it, “has been completely gutted”.

@busybee
you are an idiot. did i ever say jews are wealthy because they are liberal. read very slowly. the argument you made is as follow: liberalism is destroying black people. by the same logic: liberalism should also be destroying jews. trust me, sweetheart don’t try to school me on jews. i went to all an all-white natinoally ranked private university on the east coast with plenty of jews and got to see up close their work ethic and cultural unity makes them who they are. your argument about liberalism destroying blacks is bogus. I am an immigrant who is a moderate democrat. i am living the American dream in every possible way and do not believe liberalism is resopnsible for an ethnic group’s progress or lack of progress.
and yes i mispelled some words. i am sure you will try to use that to make some weak argument about my education. i was typying fast. but go ahead.
So sad….Y’all R tearing each other down 4 a party affiliations, who can do nothing 4U. Other races would never do this. Thats Y we remain to B the minority.
Funny…how we can rally around rocks, Alize, & government checks. But can’t agree to disagree.

@ DA TRUFF HURTZ,
I understood where you were coming from I guess my comment should have been directed more toward TIGER, I didn’t really like his comment about blacks needing mentoring, like is something bad and we’re the only race that has mentors, but that was the point I was trying to make, the family is a mentoring system but not everyone has a strong family unit to lean on that’s why mentoring is important.
IN ALL HONESTY,
We can’t blame the state of black people on the DEMOCRAT or REPUBLICAN party because they both have flaws and have failed us, neither is perfect or has a fool proof plan on how to deal with the state of Black America..If we look back far enough we can find areas where both parties have *****ted on blacks through out history, neither party gave a fu*k about us from the start..The truth is the African has been messed up from the very beginning since we were brought to this country and robbed of everything..Blacks have always been tolerated and never accepted by white America because the Constitution wasn’t written for us, hell we were still slaves when it was created..I totally agree with the Republicans message of INDEPENDENCE and SELF SUFFICIENCY but it’s not that easy for everyone to rise from the ashes of poverty, I also don’t agree with crippling individuals with handouts and too much gov. *****istance but you can’t just throw the poor and oppressed under the bus either..Blacks always have and always will be at a slight disadvantage in this country, even having a college degree and a clean criminal background doesn’t always guarantee an Afican American the same success and equal opportunities as whites..And we can’t deny the fact that there are ploys out here designed for the failure of black people, and NO I’m blaming the white man or playing the victim role.
We can go back and forth all day about who is right or wrong..Both parties have good ideas but neither has a solution to our problems.
@ Claroliza
First let me say that I have not yet stooped to attacking you personally. I don’t think I even need to say that I am not an idiot, so I will let that slide. To debate your point, Jews are not affected by Liberalism in the same way as Blacks because they are primary architects of many liberal policies, not the intended “beneficiaries”. They are not, for the most part, coming from the lower socio-economic cl***** that Blacks are. Therefore their iniative has not been dulled, as it has been in the case of blacks who have become dependent on social programs. They typically come from two parent households, which liberalism and the welfare system has discouraged in lower socio-economic communities (read black communities). Jews also tend to emphasize education, especially private education, far more than poor blacks, or other minorities. Jews can afford the education to get better jobs, and they promote social and business networking amongst themselves. For these reasons and many more, Jews are not affected in the same way by Liberalism. Please don’t try to school me about how Liberalism is not destroying blacks, as I grew up in one of the poorest, most gang infested areas in the country, which has been run for over forty years by black liberal Democrats. I am the product of two drug addicted parents, and was a Ward of the State for 18 years. I have dealt with Social Services on every level. I have also worked in Government and can not begin to tell you the waste involved in operating any government program. Strong families are the solution to problems in the black community, not more liberal programs.
I like how you try to focus on semantics instead of the issues I raised Claroliza…and the personal attacks were a nice touch as well:)
@busybee
i really feel sorry for you. Why are you blaming liberal democrats for problems in the African-American community? for the last time, if you follow your own logic then jews would be in the same boat as blacks and they are not. therefore, it might behoove you to realize that liberalism has nothing to do with the ills in the black community, but internal failings and cultural issues. i, for one, do believe in self-sufficiency, the power of education and taking responsibility for your personal welfare. GUESS WHAT? I AM NOT A JEW. my mother emigrated from Latin America knowing no english, without a husband or extended family and working menial jobs. she made $12,000 a year. yet my sibling and I graduated with top honors from high school, went to top private universities, studied abroad, own properties, stock, and broke into the upper middle cl***** in ONE generation. so, why didn’t liberalism take a hold of me like you claim it’s taking hold of African-Americans? because liberalism cannot ruin an ethnic group, THERE’S A BIGGER ISSUE at work! i hate it when people think there’s a silver bullet to a problem. it’s way more complex than that and you blaming liberalism shows you tendency to go for the easy answer.
claroliza,
You’re right, the problem with the black community isn’t liberalism it’s socio-economics and lack of education.
