I ought to be enjoying this, watching these dittoheads twisting in the wind of their own bellyaching. But it's sad; creepy and sad and not a little bewildering. So much foul feeling in the service of so much delusion and fear, and so pointless. Their chapter is closing - for a while, anyway - and I ought to be enjoying their furious self-abuse. But it is really, really, just too sad.

Actually, I've never seen "Roots," but I know enough to guess you watch it backwards so that it has a happy ending




I didn't think that Anything could,would 'Top' the "Getting closer to Your Truth, all
have already Seen It ,Know it."

However? ^ Quote? "Backwards = Happy Ending" ?


Now...I can Laugh, All Through Out the Day. (only having to 'Refer Back To'...)

I think how could you own slaves and you was a slave yourself,these white men fought to be free and and said all men are equal and still own slaves.They didn't pay the black race nothing.We stand for freedom and justice but at the sametime treat another human being like nothing. Go get my water Tobe!!!

I know more Caucasions who are for Obama than African Americans! Wow! It's true while on a business trip to an Air Force base I listened to the discussions as the current Air Force times had it's interview with Obama with a discussion of the effects of his policies on the AF.

Like a fly on the wall I listened and found more white service personnel favoring Obama than black personnel. This includes white and black service men and women from E-3 to O-3. I had no contact with very junior or very senior members due to my job. The black service members were very adamant that Obama was scum. I was surprised at their attitude and even more surprised when I realized the whites were for Obama because of altruistic reasons and not for anything they could verbalize.

Racism, does not exist in the middle class working demographic of Air Force personnel. I doubt it exists much at all outside of closed door meetings at hidden locations.

I could care less if the candidates are pink. Heres the real issues at hand!


Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:

CAPITAL GAINS TAX :

MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples).
McCain does not propose any change in the
existing home sales income tax.

OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales.
How does this affect you?
If you sell your home and make a profit,
you will pay 28% of your gain in taxes.
If you are heading toward retirement and would like to
down-size your home, or move into a retirement community,
28% of the money you make from your home
will go to taxes.

This proposal will adversely affect the elderly, who are
counting on the income from their homes
as part of their retirement income.

DIVIDEND TAX:

MCCAIN 15% (no change)
OBAMA 39.6%

How will this affect you?
If you have any money invested in the stock market,
IRAs, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance,
retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends,
you will now be paying nearly 40% in taxes on the money you earned,
if Obama becomes president.
Experts predict that higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains
would crash the stock market, while doing absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.

INCOME TAX:

MCCAIN (no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250

OBAMA
(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750

Under Obama, your taxes will more than double!
How does thi s affect you?
No explanation needed. This is pretty straight forward.

INHERITANCE TAX:

MCCAIN 0% (No change - Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax

How does this affect you?
Many families have lost businesses,
farms and ranches and homes
that have been in their families for generations
because they could not afford the inheritance tax.
What you leave your loved ones in your will,
they will lose to these taxes.

NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA:
· New government taxes proposed on
homes that are more than
2400 square feet
· New gasoline taxes
(as if gas wasn't high enough already)
· New taxes on natural resources consumption
(heating, gas, water, electricity)
· New taxes on retirement accounts
and last but not least....
· New taxes to pay for socialized medicine
so we can receive the same level of medical care
As other third-world countries!!!

thats the way it is supposed to work, but given his career choices, his stance on most issues and the theology of his church I don't see him being concerned with ALL U.S. Citizens...

I guess george w bush represents African Americans and the blue-collar workers who didn't get their jobs or education through family connections!

I am tired of people say black people use the race card. Do you think we walk around this world thinking ....We are black....I am black...No. It is not until white people...all people remind us that we are black and it seems that they want to remind us we are beneath them. I feel sad for the people that do this to me because I can truly see them. The igonorance, the fear in them. People like that will not survive the evoutionary chain. Because people, we are so much more than color. Obama will be a fine leader. He will not mess it up any worse than the past presidents. If Obama win you should burn your flag, the US needs a new one anyways.

Getting a little overly dramatic there. I don't remind anyone of their race, color or creed. Maybe some do, but most don't. Depends what box o rocks you are talking to.

When faced with emotional strain, frustration or anger ...White and Black use the race card.

Sometimes legitimately (job promotions, discrimination, denial of service, disparate treatment, etc.) and sometimes illegitimately (simple disagreements, clash of values, differences in attitude, lifestyle, etc.).

It's a new world. The racists are dying off fast.

This issue is quite interesting. I am of bi-racial descent and am the descendant of slaves and slave owners. I American first, second and last. This was earned by the sacrifices of my ancestors. My problem with Obama is that he is an inerloper to all the sacrifices and accomplishments of black Americans who are descendants of slaves. There is major difference between a black American and Africans. First, Africans consider black American inferior because they sold us into slavery. Obama projects this attitude when he talks down to black American as noted by Jesse Jackson(even a blind squirel finds a nut!) It is hard to believe I agree with the most rightous Rev. but this time he was absolutely correct. Obama is running a scam on black Americans and we are falling for it hook, line and sinker. Don't forget that American hating wife of his who graduated from Princeton and Harvard and now makes $300,000 a year. If this country is racist and evil give me some what Obama's wife is taking.
White liberals also believe as most Africans and that why they are insulting us with this interloping euroweinie wanna be. Let look at some facts: black Americans have accomplished more in 150 years of freedom, interupted by Jim Crow, than the entire continent of Africa and that includes Arabs in the Middle East. Our GDP would rank our wealth number 12 in the world. We have excelled in every area of science, medicine, literature, socially, economically and many other fields of endeavor. In other words,"Obama you can haul your half Kenyan ass back to African or Europe to fullfil your dream of becoming a euroweinie eurotrash.
This country has advanced in the field of race relations in a historically unprecedented
manner. With the millions of highly educated accomplished black men and women in this country we can do much better than Barak Hussien Obama. White liberals get over your perceptions of black American. We have accomplish much in spite of what you people have done to schools in black communities. Education is the key to advanement in this country and you libs are destroying the hope and dreams of millions of black people. Whenever a lib gets a new wacked education experiement up their asses they don't go to the white suburban districts ,where thier children attend, they head right for the inner city.
The first real black president should be the descendant of slaves not some johnny come lately half African interloper. This would bring America's orginal sin to a healing full circle. Obama's ideas are wrong for this great country.I thank God every day for being an American. Obama - Wrong Man -Wrong Time -Wrong Period

I don't think its racism overt or covert. I think like everything in our ADD driven news they like the novelty of him and of Hilary. So instead of focusing on what he thinks on any particular topic the news loves that they have a minority candidate for thier team. Make no mistake its thier team, when last polled 90% of all news reporters were registered Democrats.

I personally feel he needs to be seasoned more as a polition. He only has had one term. I also am not fond of his tax everything plans. Lots of presidents from Kennedy to GW Bush have found that if you lower taxes people spend more and the government recieves more revenue.

I laugh my ass off when someone uses wikipedia as a source. Truly as hilarious as it is, inaccurate. And, to post a theory that is a hundred years or more old, to boot.

Following Jewish tradition, if a mother is jewish, then so is the kid. Perhaps we should refer to Obama as just another white democrat with strongly socialist tones and a tan.

And, if anyone hasn't heard Democrats or Obama using his "blackness" as a selling point during this campaign, then I would ask, "where have you been?" LOL. Keep it real, yo.

I think it's distasteful to ignore the 50% of caucasian genetics imparted on Senator Obama via his mother.

Well I guess stupid is as stupid does.

Yes, there are racists and haters in America, and in every other country on the face of this earth!

As a black woman, it's interesting for me to watch and hear how many white folks feel about a "black" men potentially becoming President. I call it "the other foot" theory......black folk have had to live under "white rule" forever and ever, and we managed to survive....if a Black man is elected President of these United States, white people will survive, too.

Did you guys forget that there are STILL more of YOU than there are of US in this country??????

Can't we all just get along, or at least try to????

We can get along, C-browne, but we have to choose it and do it with a will. Nothing is more challenging than getting along with other people.

That is why poor and middle class white people can be so easily manipulated by wealthy interests to speak out and vote against their own interests. Many of them are tricked into believing their lives should be nicer, easier, more of a pleasure than they are, because they are white and "entitled."

Because life is tough for everyone who works for a living, they will serve their own interests by finding common cause with their black, Hispanic, and elsewise poor and middle-class neighbors. But, to do that, they will have to surrender the poisonous fiction that "white makes right," a lie that Limbaugh and Savage and FAUXNOISE and the rest perpetuate in service to their moneyed puppeteers.

It's a trick on whiggers.

We have to point it out, over and over, until these frightened, frustrated folks understand who stands with them, and who uses them like rented mules. They'll do the right thing, just as soon as they see what it is.

Cheers!

For now...right ?
Have you seen the demographic trends in the US ?
Has it been "minorities" against the "majority" ? I assume that you agree that it has been ..right?
What about the demographics of the world ? Did you consider them lately ? In a globalised world with open borders ...isn't that what really counts?



Can't we all just get along, or at least try to????

I think we can , but , it really takes a concerted effort.


I call it "the other foot" theory......black folk have had to live under "white rule" forever and ever, and we managed to survive

Obama is slated by the establishment to be president , however if that's not good enough ...
You're free to live under black rule in Zimbabwe or South Africa ...
Any takers?

Obama is racist.

Obama is VERY racist, and it's going to end up costing him the election in the end. He's going to end up p!ssing off everyone, one race at a time.

I just wonder if Obama loses, because of his almost socialist leanings, how many will cry racism. When infact the reason most I have talked to that arn't voting for him can't stand his tax policies. They mention nothing of race. But as one post put it, it is being pushed as a selling point by his supporters. "The first black president." Tell me how many supporters of Obama have uttered this phrase?
I really couldn't care about the race or sex. I want someone that I agree with on policy issues and Obama and I don't see eye to eye.

Or senario two. Obama wins. Will those that think every white man is a potental racist ease up. Because by far the biggest voting block is white men. Because they were the ones that secured his win. I hope they won't see an enemy in every white man. While racism still exists and is terrible. I for my part try to treate everyman fairly. This is how I was taught. To judge a man on deeds not on skin. And will his supporters be able to see beyond his skin to see him not as the first black president but to see him as the 43rd president that happens to be black.

A MIX PERSON PICKS WHAT RACE THAT FITS THERE PERSONALITY
BEST

I don't see what the big deal is on the race issue Obama has a White mother and a Black father he is what you call (MIXED) Some people wish to choose a specific race they are some like to classify them self as simply MIXED. If Obama was married to white women he would probably be more likely to classify his self as white just depends on his personality and style.
