Racism is Alive and Well!

except in bf's world i guess. those ever so classy republicans:

Look, Ron, INDIVIDUALS can be idiots, morons, and racists.

Just as you prove that one person can be a fool, yet an entire nation not be completely foolish, this individual proves only that there are individual racists. Does this student control our country? No. Is he representive of our nation? NO.

I don't see racism in his statements, he is just pointing out that Obama "doesn't look like the other Presidential candidates."

nice try.

skull full of mush, he paid the price

have you seen some of the cartoons of Condi Rice over the years?

very insensitive.......

Have you seen some of the "Classy" Liberal posts on The Daily Kooks and the Democratic Underground???

Those people are hardly 21 year old college students!

we are not talking about extremist groups, we are talking about university political groups. i'm sure that you don't want to start a peeing contest about the relative depravity of extremist blogs...or maybe you do.

were these cartoons authored by leaders of college democrat groups?

no these were mainstream media outlets, don't you think that is worse since it is so much more pervasive in society?

This just goes to show that people make comments that make the whole look bad.

wait, you mean they made caricatures of her? i can't imagine that they'd do that to anybody...

what it really goes to show that the argument that racism really isn't that big of a deal in politics is a lie.

And what about sexism???

Hmmm....seems to me I have heard Obama state he does not look like any past presidential candidate!

oh i think that it exists bigtime.

Didn't he say that he doesn't look like the President on the Dollar Bill???


Which makes sense because Washington is on the Dollar Bill!

here is one example of what seems very offensive racially:

that she's a parrot?

here are references to many more of Dr. Rice, most of these are nationally syndicated, unlike some young skull full of mush at a small college..........

Dr. Rice does not have big lips idiot!

so is your point to back up bf in saying that racism doesn't exist or what? or is this "your side does it, too!"

the kid was the future of the republican party.

Did you write that as a moderator, or as a BOL poster?

you are on thin ice, amlb.

are you a fortuneteller now? My point was there are much more egregious examples of racism then some skull full of mush on a small college campi.

did you read the description of the cartoons at seaspot? Aunt Jemima, house servants - really?

until you get a clear posting as me in the mod role, consider me no different that you

in other words, Obama can say he looks different, but no one else can? or only non-college replican leaders can't? I'm confused about the double standard at play here...

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.

what figure of speech is that you are employing?

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....

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?


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

whats your point, ringo? i'm assuming that you mean that blacks already know about the importance of making that they have education available to them.

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?

cause he's not getting any? (hint...shower to shower each day, helps keep odor away...)

happy, wtf are you talking about?


you and him are united against liberals. don't play judas with him like you do with w.

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:

http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2006/aug/06081505.html


works against aids, see the pic of Clinton and Gates?

how'd it work in the palin case?

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.

for huge pale:

equivocate much?

extrapolating, since none of the 10 Commandments or 613 Precepts of the Old Testament worked out to well either, lets throw out all of Judeo-Christian teachings......

we will all be followers of Zillogisms..........

feel free to teach at home, pale. abstinence-only is also usually effective for 6th and 7th graders (as would be no education at all).

there is no extrapolating. bristol got pregnant. perhaps her pregnancy is another mission from God.

Ron, you are no longer worth communicating with. Welcome to being ignored.

awesome! you are pretty annoying to deal with, bf.

yeah, this has gotten out of hand, so its may be time to lock it down before tempers flare

unlike the abstinence only thread that got dumped last night...
