Still 6 months to go and things are turning nasty. The US Presidential race is turing into an almighty bitch fight between the different camps. And it is starting to look as if the Republicans are turning into the thris dog that is going to make of with the bone. Obama and Hillary’s in-fighting is doing the Democrats no favours. Personally we don’t give a fuck who wins, as long as that dollar stays low and we can keep on buying those lovely tech products from across the ocean with a 30% price discount. Oh, almost forgot, this post is about Obama’s race speech. Looks really good and stuff, watch it, you might learn something. Or not.
Yep, this man’s gonna be President of (12% of) the United States of America…
Mr “Unity” Obama’s a fine speaker, I’ll say that for him. I listened to 15 minutes of it and was very impressed. I bet he’s hoping that the potential scandal involving him and Larry Sinclair having gay sex remains under the mainstream radar for now:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVeFVtcdSYY
Regarding slavery, if you go back thousands of years, there’s been plenty of white on white slavery—it just so happens that in the modern era the white man has had a plentiful supply of black slaves from Africa to exploit (sold ironically to them by other black tribes). So, certain grievances can’t always be put down to racial attitudes. As with most things, it’s to do with self-aggrandizement and financial exploitation.
What a laugh. The people who signed the declaration of independence where as much land owners and ‘tyrannical’ as the apparent powers they were trying to escape. You’ll notice every other country in the world abolished slavery without batting an eyelid, only the US has such a rich focus on the subject due to the Souths determination to retain ownership of another human being.
Good speech. Open, honest and refreshing. He’ll end up shot going for that appraoch.
One of the best Smoke Screen Speakers and shell game players to come along in a long time no doubt about it.
Impressive comments - I’m glad that the people here don’t seem all giddy and breathless with the ‘new messiah’ and his nonsense.
Impressive indeed...well except this nugget of bubble wisdom:
“You’ll notice every other country in the world abolished slavery”
Yea. Sure.
Okay, civilised country then. Even the French. Patting each other on the back for gifting something that is “enshrined” in your constitution is the weakest reason for treating everybody equally - especially when it seems that the only reason they are considered equal is purely because of the constitution and not due to commonly held beliefs.
Americans should shut the fuck up about race (or sex) and focus on the political motivations of the inbred tards being put forward for election as currently this whole election process is being treated as another back patting session “Like, OMG, the president is black/a woman - how far have we come! God bless America and its institution that allows even black/women to have power.”
I see that the double standard still remains in america. If he is white he will get a hall pass and considers the savior of America. If he is black then you talk about hangings and executions. White america will stick behind the racist, sexist rants of the “Great Pat Robertson and Jerry Farwell”, but they are considered good upstanding americans. That is why there is no hope for america because the majority does not want unity. Just keep the jungle bunnies in place. Always happens when a conservative republican is put back in office.
Your credibility is destroyed here “Just keep the jungle bunnies in place. Always happens when a conservative republican is put back in office.”
Generalizing Americans based on one impression/thing you “heard”, is just as uneducated as you believe Americans are.
Okay, here’s my thing. It almost seems like the black population is segregating itself out of society here. What, with the push to legitimize “ebonics” to create new tests designed to assist in comprehension for inner city school children and all…
You don’t see rednecks pushing to legitimize “hick” to aid their comprehension…
Ultimately, though, enabling school children to speak in a dialect which is prevalent in a very small sub-sector of America only serves to segregate them out of the rest of America.
