I've been saying the same thing for the past 6 months...What? That 'Obama is the first black candidate'?
What? That 'Obama is the first black candidate'?Actually, he's not the first "black" candidate. OBama is no more black than Tiger Woods or Mariah Carey. I was labeled a racist for saying that, but it is what it is. To say that OBama is black is to deny one half of his heritage (his mom). That's how I would see it with my own children.

With respect to the cartoon, I've been debating with people who are voting for Obama simply because he's the first "black" candidate. Please don't tell me that you actually believe that the record number of newly registered black voters is reflective of the issues that Obama believes in? :o ???
Heck, we have a Halfrican American who is on the verge of being elected president.
Aren't you voting for the Halfrican American for president?
I'm familiar with a country that allowed an immigrant African to move here, create a halfrican, have that kid educated
Will you be voting for a Halfrican American for president in November,
the fact he is a Halfrican American hasn't hurt him at all.
I find it interesting that some now want to make an issue of Obama being a Halfrican American,
I've previously called him Halfrican
Too many bigots in this country for a Halfrican American to get elected president.
I heard Olbermann talking about the "Halfrican American"
I hope I didn't offend our Halfrican American candidate for president.
I interact with more "Halfrican Americans" than you
when was the last time you were in a room full of Halfrican Americans?
No way a Halfrican American wins in 08.
What? You're saying Obama is not a "black" man?

He ain't passing, that's for sure.

Martin Luther King hmmmm. A person who believed in non-violent change?oh yea, he would vote McBush :D Because he would see the truth in the neocon message that Obama is a Halfrican, not black, not white. He would buy into Colossus and BB's racist stereotype of Obama meant to bubble up racist feelings about Obama from both sides... Ding Ding Ding... :)
Would he have supported McBush?
In ref to the cartoon, of course Dr King would have supported Obama for reason not to do with race, and one can only assume anyone who feels otherwise is not familiar with the words and teachings of Dr. King.
Apart from McCain's use of racist slurs, admitted hatred of people and history of adultery that we can assume a man like King would overlook, there would be 2 main issues.
Nonviolence was a huge premise of his, he strongly opposed the Vietnam War, and other aspects of US foreign policy that are far more closely aligned with the singer of "bomb bomb bomb Iran". That alone would have put him with Obama as far as his stance on Iraq.
A quote of his I always liked: "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death". He spoke on that issue many times, in great detail. He would be closely aligned with Obama on that.
His work for the civil rights struggle overshadows all his other work, most of which inherently ties in with Obama's platform - antiwar, less gov spending on wars and more on people.
::)I didn't know they were running for president. I must keep on top of these things.
soooooooo, what category would Mariah Carey, Halle Berry, Corbin Bleu, and the like fit under? ??? ??? ??? They are all just like Barack Obama!
::)
You're a closet racist, I'm a gun toting jerk.
Now thats what I call Fair and Balanced.LOL
haha
I didn't know they were running for president. I must keep on top of these things.Nevermind, bro. Either you missed my point or don't really care to understand what I'm saying. It's all good.

Why not? The record number of previously registered Republican voters who will be pulling that lever for him in November is reflective of the issues that Obama believes in, why can't Black Americans feel the same way. Are you saying that Blacks and Republicans can't believe in the same thing? Now who is being racist? MLK's message is a good one, and needs to be heard by many, ...especially those who agree with Obama on the issues, detest the BushMccain policies, but just can't seem to bring themselves to vote for a Black man. they would rather choose a man who has demonstrated his willingness to break God's laws, as well as man's, use his influence to hijack justice, allow his wife to live as an addict for 3 years without flinching etc., etc., ...but he'd be a better president because he's white? ::) Newly registered Black voters doesn't necessarily mean they're all voting for Obama. I'm sure men like Keyes will be voting for BushMcCain. what we have is a pivotal election... one where America finds herself on the precipice. Whoever is elected will either bring her back from the edge of ruin (Obama) or take her over the cliff once and for all (Bush McCain)
Newly registered first time voters are an awakened electorate keen to take part in the democratic process as respionsible citizens of America. This is simply democracy in action, ...people uniting in a common cause.
YOU GO GIRL!!! (http://www.jaguarenterprises.net/images/thumbup.gif) (http://www.jaguarenterprises.net/images/thumbup.gif)bi-polar moments, possibly? :-\ ??? :-\
(that's what I should have said) How you remain so calm in the face of such {I can't even type it} is beyond me.
I'm gonna sit back and let you carry the baton for a few laps around the track. You're good at it! :D
