the point is, your ilk claims that racism is simply some creation of the left. to your point, obama pointed it out, this safety school wannabe politician confirmed it.

No, he was not the future of the republican party any more than you are the future of the democratic party. He was a dumb jerk in college, just like you.

It seems to me that the "group" that always brings up race is the liberal democrats. I wonder why? Can't they think of Condi as the Secretary of State? Can't they think of Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court Justice? Can't they think of Barak H Obama as their Candidate? Why always are they looking at the color of their skin instead of their character?

I wonder....

FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line
Yes, and if Obama doesn't win the election or doesn't carry the south, we will once again be painted as racists instead of folks who just disagree with his political leanings. It will be the liberal media and the democrats who bring that charge.

Can you tell me when these ilk meetings are held? And where? I'd sure like to attend some and be involved in the process of creating these things you say I'm guilty of.

So just to confirm, you admit that Obama was guilty of a racist statement when he said that he "doesn't look like the typical POTUS candidate?" Or is teh college student the only one guilty of racism? For someone who demands answers quite frequently, you have a hard time providing them yourself.

Let's change the subject:

Chairman Ben S. Bernanke
Remarks on Historically Black Colleges and Universities
At the 2008 National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week Conference, Washington, D.C.
September 9, 2008

Good morning. I am very pleased to join you at this conference. As an economist, but also as a former professor, one-time school board member, spouse of a teacher, and parent of two young adults pursuing higher education, I am always glad to have an opportunity to speak about the importance of education to our nation's economy and our society. This morning I am especially pleased to highlight the past and continuing importance of the nation's historically black colleges and universities. Given my audience, I may be "preaching to the choir," so to speak, on this topic, but I trust that you will appreciate the sermon.

you are slow.

i admit that obama was pointing out racism that exists. what part of "obama pointed it out" didn't you understand?

Quote:
Or is teh college student the only one guilty of racism?

no, tons of people are guilty of it. in fact, your ilk such as bf claim that it basically doesn't exist anymore.

No, you're the slow one, still can't answer the question asked...it was a yes or no answer.

BF and I are polar opposites, I fail to see how he and I are "ilk-like." I've yet to see any credible conservative claim there is no racsim, and I've certainly made no such claim. Your broad sweeping generalizations are funny...

I have no point to make. Just offering up an alternative discussion to the baiting and bickering.

why are those that have never reviewed abstinence only curriculums or have no children experts on the subject?

sarah palin's daughter is pregnant at 17. abstinence-only definitely seems like it works. this is yet another mission-from-God that she is on.

here's an intellectual honesty gut check for you, huge: if philadelphia schools switch to abstinence-only education, what do you think happens to the teen pregnancy rate?

I'll refreash your memory...guess it is true about that short term memory loss...

This is a simple yes or no question.

United against liberals? Wow, when did that happen? Did I miss another meeting? I think you assume that my not wanting Obama to be President means I am anti-liberal. You are way off base...

here's an intellectual honesty gut check for you - if a failed entrepreneur returns to college, actually graduates, and gets a real job that pays him the $300k he expects, do you think he will be for wealth redistribution? What do you think his rallying cry will be then?

i don't answer questions that change the issue. sorry.

so your ranting against obama don't have an anti-liberal basis? is it just a racist basis then?

i have no problem with higher taxes with higher earnings, happy. that's a dead end for you.

rather parochial taking Philly isn't it?

here take a world view of abstinence only:

Once again, Ron, I do not deny that some people are still racists. Just as some people are still idiots. HOWEVER, I do deny that racism is still an impediment to gaining the American Dream. I do deny that racism is a significant block to getting into a good college, or even becoming a presidential nominee!

The people most responsible for continued racism at this point are people like the wrong reverend Wright, and his people that shout things like God Damn America, or hide behind old racist dogma against whites and segregate society.
