Since you are insinuating that I am prejudiced...

I am in a very long-term relationship with a man that I intend to spend the rest of my life with. I have 2 back brother-in-laws and a black son-in-law. I have 2 mixed grandchildren, 4 mixed nieces and nephews, and 4 mixed "stepchildren". I am most certainly not prejudiced.
I made that comment about not being prejudiced because a lot of people will accuse you of being prejudiced if you speak negatively in any way about black people. I do not feel like it is just a black people problem, I do not feel like it is every black man, but it is a problem with black people.
In just my family, I have an ex-brother-in-law who now has 7 children and pays no child support for any of them and only spends time with my nieces and nephews about 3 times a year and NEVER sees 2 of his children at all; I have an ex-brother-in-law who has 3 children, pays no child support, had his rights to my nephew legally taken away by the courts and he does not spend any time with his other 2 children; I have an ex-son-in-law who now has 5 children and 1 coming soon and he only pays child support to my daughter because they were married and it was ordered in the divorce, but never has even acknowledged the youngest of their children in the last year (saw her for 1 hour afte she was born and in the past year has never even said her name, calls her "that girl"), never has seen 2 of his other children at all and does not pay them child support.
But on the good side - I have a son-in-law who has taken it upon himself to become my grandson and granddaughter's "daddy" because their dad is not trying to be in their life any more than calling my daughter repeatedly and asking for his child support back to "fix his car", "to pay my power bill", "to buy some gas".
On the other hand, I have a brother-in-law now that has adopted my nephew and is wonderful with him and his biological child - spending time with them on the ballfields, at the school plays, at the dance recitals, going to church, etc.
I have a brother-in-law who has taken it upon himself to help my other sister with her 2 children and be the involved "father" in their life where their biological father is not.
No, I am not prejudiced... just see the world as it is!

How is that prejudiced?
I don't believe in what he stands for. Therefore, I don't like Barrack Obama for president. So one reason I'm voting for McCain is to try and keep Obama out of the White House. So my one reason for voting for McCain is simply Barrack Obama. Nothing racist about that. Get over yourself!
Seriously.....how many race cards did Obama's campaign hand out for people to use....because...DANG!
I have seen this and I do think his minister is prejudiced (sm)
However, I don't choose to lower myself to that standard and become prejudiced myself as well. Prejudice is wrong in any direction.
They're not prejudiced....
LOL!!! ;-)
So what are you insinuating?
Stop this nonsense. Why can't we have an INTELLIGENT conversation on this board anymore?
You know what? I don't give a rat's patooty anymore. I am done with this board and all the mean, nasty, small minded people. My mental health is worth a whole lot more to me than the lunacy I have witnessed on this board of late.
I feel sorry for those of you who feel compelled to come here day in and day out and fight with each other over basically nothing.... "I'm a better American than you"..."No! I'm a better American than you."
I hope that someday you will see your way off this board and back to real life.
So long. It used to be fun...but that was a LONG time ago.
I wish you all the best.
No one's insinuating anything. In your words,
This rhetoric is hate-filled bigotry at its worst. These lies will do nothing to advance the success of your party. Stupid is too kind. Ignorant would be more accurate.
You're just prejudiced. That is not based in fact...
Just because you say that's what he'll do, doesn't make it so.
You just wish he was as bad as you think he is.
Fact is that he's kept you safe in your own country for over 7 years.
But you'll never admit it.
Are you insinuating that Obama is a communist?
What the heck are you drinking or smoking? Sam thinks he a socialist, you think he is a communist, and the reality is he is a highly-educated, well-qualified democrat presidential candidate that could possibly be the best thing this country has seen in at least 8 years!
Insinuating?? We're stating it as a fact!!!

Any kind of inflammatory insinuating remarks
for the sole purpose of misleading uneducated voters, in my eyes, is a deliberate act of desperation by a group that has absolutely no integrity at all. Someone who is so vile as to suggest that Obama would endanger our troops if he is elected is less than human. Barack Obama wants nothing more than to get our poor troops out of an endless, senseless situation. If I wasn't so disgusted by that kind of mindless drivel that many of you are so willing to bow down to, I could almost feel sorry for you.
