The racial imbalance....
IMHO is directly related to the fatherlessness in the African-American community. It would be nice to blame it on bigotry or any other host of things, but the lack of responsible parenting and good example setting for education and honest hard work (which leads to success in life) is sorely lacking in that community. It's very sad.
I thought he was bi-racial
I wish his parents were alive.
Racial predjucide.........
The following is from a pdf file of sermon from Barack Hussein Obama’s "spiritual mentor" as published in October 2003 issue of the Trinity United Church of Christ’s publication, "The Trumpet." (Published by the Reverend’s daughter.)
The sermon is really a wide ranging diatribe which includes, among other things, calls for US divestiture in Israel. But even amidst the Reverend’s many crackpot and racist statements, this one jumped out:
A Message From our PASTOR, Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., Senior Pastor
In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just “disappeared” as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns.
Again, Reverend Wright is the man that Mr. Obama claims got him interested in politics. He speaks of him as his political father and even his surrogate father.
Naw, Obama ain't prejudice!
He just loves to hang out with those that are.....right!!
I won't argue the racial part. sm
I agree with that. But you don't need to bring politics into it. You lose all credibility and, as I said, you lessen this little girl's death by using your own agenda. Try to focus on the tragedy and the fact that our society needs a major overhaul.
How little do you know? Nazi's are racial purists

Nothing racial at all in her post unless your mind put it there (sm)
I know plenty of white people in the situations she described above...was one of them when I was a child. And you know what, for many of the people in these programs, she is right they could work. One of my sisters is legitimately disabled and the other one just wants to sit on her butt, read love stories all day and cry poor mouth. They're all white. I don't see anything racist about that post at all, unless that is what you think yourself.
inappropriate racial remarks
 I agree Terri - that remark was extremely unappropriate and does not belong here, and unfortunately such a remark can be attributed to ignorance and hatred - which DEFINITELY DOES NOT BELONG HERE.
Such an intelligent remark from
nm
Boy, is that a laughable remark, *the
Fox News! And you claim to be unbiased! You knew you were never unbiased. Even the *regular news* have now admitted they were in favor of Obama during the campaign, as if it was not evident!
Is that why YOU remark on everyone's post?

Did you see Hilton's remark about
No wonder people think she may have lost her crown. Hilton wanted called her a Bi***, but he really wanted to say the "C" word. His video was shown on CNN. This guy needs to go. Who are the idiots who wanted Hilton for a judge anyway? THERE ARE JERKS!!!!
What an asinine remark..........
You have been obviously fed such asinine statements and propaganda by those around you that you were NEVER taught that Martin Luther King WAS A REPUBLICAN!!! Now, pick your mouth up off the floor and get over your racism crap. MLK knew all along what the true agenda of democrats have been all along and that was to keep them from EVER having civil rights... one document after another proves that.
You need to get your head out of a hole and do your homework!! MLK would be ashamed of the democrats.... he was never for any of this garbage they are dumping on the American people. He would know exactly who would pay the price and why....he was FOR freedom, which is why he stood with the Republican party!! CLUELESS!!
Do you even see how you took this post and made it into a racial epithet?
gt, I would recommend an immediate self-examination as to your thought processes.
Racial hatred. Yeah, like anyone who questions O
nm
It had no racial undertones, but to call O a clown and to
apologize to all clowns is really gross, especially when there is no justification for that, at least not yet.
I take back the whining remark. sm
I will replace it with pitiful.
black prez remark
My, how classy. That so-called retardate graduated Yale & Harvard. Now who's retarded? Bill Clinton is plenty of things, too, but stupid, retarded, etc. are things that I've never heard a conservative say...ever.
I'll let Chris Rock lie in the gutter with his money and his filthy mouth.
Class always speaks for itself.
There you go - another disgusting liberal remark
especially when this post wasn't directed towards you. You really need to keep your negative, nasty, cruel and disgusting remarks to yourself. Nobody is interested in your puney little snide remarks.
Here is a poignant remark by a black man...

Settle down - I was just poking fun at your remark.
Chill, chick. Seriously.
I was just commiserating with you and your 'names I've been called' remark. I don't take anything personally on this board. Why would I? And why would you?
You do realize what "LOL" means, right?
I don't know why you flew off the handle like that.
Maybe you need to take a few minutes away from the MB to just go out and enjoy life and get a little perspective.
I was a little surprised at the "snotsdale" remark
since I live in Arizona. I don't live in Scottsdale but have been there. Nice town with nice residents. Great shopping and restaurants too.
Thank you for your intelligent, logical remark...par for the course

Whether or not we are personally offended by his remark,
I think most can agree that it falls under that old catch-all phrase 'poor judgment.' I think much of his first 60 days has fit that category, I'm anticipating many more examples of it in the next four years. This is what happens when the man wanders too far from TelePrompTer and handlers.
Bush was considered a cowboy, Palin a hick, and both would have been publicly eviscerated by the big-3 networks for such a blunder - yet another example of their ineptness. Obama has been characterized as so smooth and sophisticated, and this is considered a simple 'off-the-cuff remark' or a harmless misspeak.
Should we all stop being weenies who are wounded by carelessly offensive remarks? Sure. I just would like an end to the double standard.
With the exception of accusing me of making this a racial issue,
yeah (head dropping), I admit it. I'd rather love than hate. I don't own rose-colored glasses or lovebeads, but I may just go and buy some, now that you mention it. I realize that's not how you prefer to live your life, but if you could just let go of some the anger and hatred, you'd be carrying around a much lighter load.
RACIAL ISSUE????? This is what you wrote (in case you deny it later again): Now you are trying to make this a racial issue. Next, you will say more blacks were killed in Vietnam than whites and it was all PLANNED! What a crock of lumpy brown stuff.
Out of that entire article, you got RACIAL ISSUE??????
Once again, you take something you IMAGINE in that twisted brain of yours, accept it as TRUTH and then ATTACK that fabricated truth, accusing me of saying more blacks were purposely killed in Vietnam, when the thought never crossed my mind. (Although I DO have to wonder how it got inside YOURS.)
As far as the truth, that's the only thing I DO want: The truth. I haven't gotten it from this president and I'm sure as heck not getting it from you and your buds.
Have a lovely evening. 
I made no racial comments, only saw the ugliness from "anybody would have"
and others referring to Harlem dumbells

Idiotic remark from Barbara Bush
What a stupid remark from Barbara Bush. That whole family lacks compassion. Unbelieveable.
Barbara Bush: Things Working Out Very Well for Poor Evacuees from New Orleans
By E&P Staff
Published: September 05, 2005 7:25 PM ET updated 8:00 PM
NEW YORK Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, This is working very well for them.
The former First Lady's remarks were aired this evening on National Public Radio's Marketplace program.
She was part of a group in Houston today at the Astrodome that included her husband and former President Bill Clinton, who were chosen by her son, the current president, to head fundraising efforts for the recovery. Sen. Hilary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama were also present.
In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of evacuees to the Texas city, Barbara Bush said: Almost everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to Houston.
Then she added: What I’m hearing is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.
And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she chuckles slightly) is working very well for them.

OMG! What a ridiculous remark from....but that wasn't my point..sm
Thank God, tomorrow it will all be over.
Rush has made innumerable inflammatory racial comments
throughout his entire career and continues to do so to this day. It is not just one article (on the FAIR website no less). He has even been fired for racial comments before.
Brunson, I always read your posts with interest, and, although we do disagree on many things, I respect your opinion and your right to espouse your beliefs. You are knowledgeable, well spoken, and know why you hold your beliefs. However, in this case, I would have to say that even if he is not racist, he certainly says things that pander a segment of his audience that is, and those things are very well documented.
I agree, and am not an Obama supporter. Just tired of all the racial conflict sm
tired of everything being all about race. If they were both black candidates, then people could all just vote their conscience without even thinking about race.
And that was a crude, ignorant, presumptuous, pompous remark.....sm
which seems to abound with many on the right who are on the defensive regarding our situation, how we got here (hello, why weren't you screaming at Bush during two administrations as we all crashed and burned and thousands of lives were being lost in Iraq, an illegal, immoral, opportunistic war)??? You know absolutely NOTHING about me, my past, or my politics so please get some class and intelligence, frivolous, mindless attacks are soooooo overdone.

I speak English very well thank you, and the nasty little remark you made
regarding the usage of 'ebonics' and other insulting comments you have made is totally unwarranted and again a cowardly and racist stereotype you do not seem to have a problem posting on this board. You have repeatedly insulted many who post on this board with your racist bigoted rants and it is sickening. Yes, I am a black woman but more importantly I am an American and ALL people matter to me, regardless of party lines or color - not just a select few because we are all in this TOGETHER. But I am glad you have exposed yourself regarding your thoughts - just proves to many here that your bigotry, predjudice and hatred of people different from you definitely casts you in a light that is not flattering at all.

your remark is totally obsolete, low-class, belligerent ..sm
and not even worth reading, let alone answering.
Follow the example of Senator MrCain, a truly decent loser.
His today's statement made me respect him a lot!
Stop your imbecile tit-for-tat and choose a user name you coward!
A racial post shooting the finger. Must be a conservative thing. Point this out.
I just read the thread and don't know what the heck you guys are talking about.
Sounds like you are all just trying to be disagreeable, no wait that's why you continue to post on the LIBERAL board. I see, that's the point. Excuse me.
Like phoney food stamp flyers covered with racial stereotypes,
Obama Halloween ghost hung in effigy to greet 5-year old trick-or-treaters weren't there? How about straight from the horse's mouth? Books have been written on the subject. Here's just one excerpt:
1. McCains use of the anti-Asian slur "Gook" publicly for 27 years before dropping the term for his current presidential run.
2. McCain's endorsement of George Wallace Jr., a frequent speaker at white supremacist events.
3. His vote against establishing a holiday for MLK's birthday and another vote to rescind the holiday, turning hypocrite to say "I was wrong" at a campaign rally.
4. While answering a question about divorced fathers and child support, McCain called the children "tar babies."
There is certainly no shortage of example of racial hatred out of the McCain camp? I could research the subject some more if necessary to prove this point, but I think you get the general idea.
I am addressing racism in general & some of the racial words that were used on this board earlier (s
I am not an Obama supporter specifically because of his pastor's racial biases against white people and because I disagree with Obama's stance on partial birth abortion. I am against racism in all forms. I am against Obama's terrorist friends, I am very unhappy about the church Obama attended for 20 years. I am voting for McCain ONLY to vote against Obama because I do not want him to be our president. Both candidates have a lot of bad history & I wish there was another option. However, I love people of all races. You are making this into a racial election. I want to leave racial terms like "towelhead" and "oreo" and "halfbreed" off of this board. Do you find those words necessary to make your points? If so, your vocabulary and mind are obviously very limited.
it appears you lost your opinion or you wouldn't feel the need to remark on mine....nm
