Granny in Georgia September 09, 2009 23:54:13No They are worse+11I think he has polarized the racies like no one else in history! We had made great strides before he, and Rev. Wright as well as others, made the most racist comments I've heard in my lifetime. He and his associates still make subtle comments aimed at dividing us. Don't forget the "beer summitt"!

IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT OBAMA IS BLACK, BECAUSE HIS (BLACK) SKIN COLOR, ALONG WITH CAUSTIC IDEOLOGY OF THE (WHITE) LIBERAL LEFT, WILL FOREVER BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE DOWNFALL OF FREEDOM.
So either this much racial tension has always been there and is now being exposed or stupid people are misusing the word when one disagrees with Obama.
I personally think it's being misused.
Like some politically correct person telling me the word "thug" is racist. WTF?
Soon we won't be able to use words like "cracker", "apple", "chink"...damn! Might as well resort to sign language then cuz there won't be one word we can use without being accused of being racist.
"If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother (any fellow or man), he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother (any fellow or man), whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother (any fellow or man)." (1st John 4:20-21)
"On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbour?” In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other...

So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he travelled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ “Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” ( Luke 10: 25-37).
and the ones making it worse are the ones who continue to say that all blacks, muslims, jews, etc are evil.
You can't really make a skin color a culture or an ideology, yet many try, but all it does is further entrench the racism meme in the "collective conscience" of the public at large.
On the night of the election there were black people running around downtown chanting Obama-Obama,we are finally gonna get ours, one man actually looked at me and my girl friend as we walked out of a resturant and said
what you gonna do now white boy and blew a kiss at my girlfriend. Hum.....So I live in an area known as the University area, close to campus with a lot of rental homes and alot of families. Crime has spiked severly, that I do not blame on Obama
but I do contribute it to the confidence gained by the race card being played. Look I own a small construction business I would never ask someone to do anything that I first would'nt do myself. I have employed lots of young men in the
construction mangement program so they could get hours for their degree, I pay my taxes, have my own health insurance, a mortgage, vehicle payment...etc, etc. I have no goverment assistance. There is a mom and pops grocery store
up the road from my house called the city market, nicknamed the shity market, nasty place somewhere to stop when you don't feel like going across town to H...

up the road from my house called the city market, nicknamed the shity market, nasty place somewhere to stop when you don't feel like going across town to Harris T. or Krogers. The first of the month DAMN, you would think that place
was the Vatican 2 min after mass let out. Black people with their american flag credit cards, buying groceries, I'm not talking about the elderly or disabled, which I am all for them having assistance if they need it. Im
talking about people in their 20's and 30's. Young able bodied adults, whom the following week are in there buying lotto, and scratch off tickets. So has the race issue gotten better or worse, I say worse, a hundred fold. All of these young blacks that think Obama is going to help you and the black race
you just bowed down to a master of the same color, he is going to do nothing but make you more dependent on handouts and government assistance. There is going to come a point when us providers are going to say enough is enough
and you mouchers will have no more. Our jail system is over populated, medicade, welfare, they even offer damn cell phones to people on govt assistance in NC what kind insentive is that for them to better themselves?
The whole "what you gonna do now white boy" thing still pisses me off to this day. Yes I have become racist. And to these young blacks that live off of government assistance and support Obama as your president and savior watch alittle bit of the tv program Save the children fund where you can sponser children in
Africa, try it please maybe you will realize how good things are here in America and maybe you might thank a tax payer for what you have. And not the man who is destroying America from the inside out.
So is he making it better. I don't think so, but he is causing people to address it. Not for any reason in particular other than he is our first black president. I really don't want it to be about race but about the man and the direction he is taking this country.
Yes, I was told one time in my life, that I can spoil a wet dream.
Absolutely not! They shoe is now on the other foot. Bye: Adam Troy
I remember the days of separate buses and separate water fountains and a sign by the cash register down at the store that said that American Indians could not buy beer.
These idiots today haven't the first damned clue what it meant to their grandparents to fight and struggle and keep on keeping on despite it all. They are a disgrace. Martin Luther King did not dream of a world where the Black Man would reign supreme. He dreamed of a nation where the color of my skin or your's or Joe the plumber's did not make a darn to anybody.
