A black columnist on Barrack Obama

I got no problem with that, but there is a lot of stuff taken out of context in that article and people are likely going to take it as all fact and spread it around adding to the whole mis-information problem.

Welcome to politics.
 
Is this a "Don't hate the player, hate the game" type of statement? I hate both and refuse to play.

Seems like a poor excuse to continue it.....

Continue what.
Comments were made that all blacks would vote for Obama.
I posted this to show that was not true.
The name of the game is to figure out the BS from the facts. We used to have the news reporters to do that for us. Now they are all about the ratings. Their ratings is why i think they will turn on Obama in a couple months, once the newness wears off.
This game has been being played for 200 years.
Do you expect the dems or the republicans to talk about their opponents and say how great they are?

The funny thing is, even Hiliary was saying Obama was getting free pass from the press.

The game is politics, and spreading half-truths, the players are the people playing the politics game. So when I say "continue it" I am talking about continuing the game of politics.

I would expect our government leaders to be of high moral standing and to do what is best for ALL the people in America. Seems those expectations are too high unfortunately. I don't expect them to be all azz kissers, but I would hope they could actually focus on America from time to time, a little more honesty and truthfulness couldn't hurt either.

If the world is what we make of it, why have we made it this way?

Why?
That is simple.
Politicians make promises, the more they make the more votes they get.
That is one reason I am so down on Obama, lots of promises and no way to make em happen.

Sometimes people vote against someone instead of voting for someone.
That has pretty much been the case for the last 25 years. The down side to that is you don't really know what your getting.

The other side is politicians get tunnel vision. They loose touch with what is really going on. We need term limits. Get the old and stale out and get people in that are fresh and ready to work. Too bad the current politicians have blocked every effert to do this. Unless the ENTIRE US votes in term limits it won't work.

That won't happen, why? People like Ted Kennedy have POWER. They get lots of government projects for their districts, the people like that and don't care what the politician is actually doing to the country.

I didn't see any "We's" in your response?:confused:

ok, allow me to be more specific.
People are too lazy to do their homework and just buy the BS the politicians feed them.

The politicians are clueless as to what is really happening and thus make stupid decisions.

The media are too busy pushing their own agenda and not doing their civic duty.

As a result of the medias inability to do it's job to report the truth, the general public doesn't get the facts or the truth.

Thus "WE" end up in the mess we are in.

Getting closer, but not there yet.:p

Say it.... saayy iitttt...
 
:light:
is it ok to say black?


Better to say Black, than African American...

Many africans are white, prolly the minority are black. Plus African is not a race, but a person from Africa.. Which Oprah is not from/.

Kinda like sayin that if you are American, you are white.

Negro is the proper term for a black person... not nigga, or nignog, or ******...

Sorry for going off topic.

Sounds like The U.S. is gonna go through a revolution,
 
"it"
What exactly am I supposed to say?

I was hoping that in your explanation to the "why have we made it this way" question, that there would be some "we's" in your response. There weren't any. I was hoping you would say something instead of "we are in the mess we are in because of those people", like "we are in the mess we are in because we.....(fill in the blank).
