Quantcast

I have a question. I keep hearing many white and black people calling The President our First Black President. Can anybody explain the with any honesty? He is of Mixed Blood. The pigment of his skin is black. That does not make the man.

It seems to me, that black is not the overriding factor in this case. So if you a born of a black skinned father, and a white skinned more, or the other way around. Or a red skinned and a brown skinned parent, does that make you red or brown as far as your skin color identity is concerned. Would your skin color be the predominate factor as to who you are. Or would how you act have more prominence?

Judging or identifying somebody solely by their skin color to me is degrading, and dishonest. Because from many of our discoveries about the origin of man, we most likely came from a very narrow Gean pool and that it is most likely that the predominate skin color was dark brown or black. So does being identified as White, Black, Brown, Red, Light Skinned, Dark Skinned, Yellow, have anything to do with what kind of Human Being your are. And the fact that you are better than the person standing next to you is?

The pigment of ones skin does not dictate who they are, or what they are. It has nothing to do with your Honesty, Integrity, Ability to Learn, or anything else that makes you a human being. Your can take the most indigent tribe in any jungle, and teach them to learn more than what they already have learned. That is the capability given us by having a brain and being able to think in a complex manner. And not just react to ones surroundings. Its called Thinking, And its most powerful when you use it to learn and adapt to your surroundings.

So my question goes back to this, If our President is a Human Being, and an American Citizen, duly elected. should he still be identified as the first Black President when in fact he is of mixed blood, and his skin color has nothing to does with the presidency. And their is nothing in our Constitution that defines the person that may hold that office as being Black, Red, Yellow, White, Mixed Colors, or anything else than the President of the United States.

Is it something special and exciting that our current president has dark skin. Sure it is, As we just as well can have a woman, or a man of any predominate skin color holding the office. That does not make them any more or any less a good president or a bad one. I am sorry folks but your skin color does not make you more or less a good person. It does not make you more or less capable of learning, and it does not make you more or less honest.

There are things in life that make you what you are, they are not your skin color, your ethnicity, sexual orientation, sexual preference, gender, race, creed, religion, or non religion that makes your who you are. Honesty, Integrity, Morality, can not be regulated or legislated by any government, political party, or ideology. And that is a fact.

So its about time we started thinking for ourselves, and demanding that our government act accordingly.Right now it has lost its way, its turned to being an evil government. You noticed I did not say Nation. Because I have to agree with President Reagan that Communism and Communist run countries are Evil not by nature, but by decree. The ideology is what is Evil. And I would go so far as to suggest that Islam in its form, that has not evolved in centuries is just as Evil. And the Catholic, Christian, Judaic, Hindu, and any other religion throughout history had had their Evil moments, and leaders.

I also believe that mankind is not born evil, that it is taught. Just as hate and racism is. If one believes in a God, that is their choice, just as it is their choice to not believe. If you are taught from birth that your bad, or evil. Or you are taught to hate your fellow man because they have dark skin or light skin or because they believe one thing and you don't. Then it keeps the hate and racism going. And for many that is the way they like it. You keep a society divided, or one group pitted against another, there is but these reasons. Power,Wealth,Control.

So it does not matter what the Presidents Skin Color is. What matters is he and has he run this country will any efficiency. Does his performance as our President Mean anything to anybody. Or will you fall back on what you've been taught. Follow the Party Line, March to the drum of ignorance and stupidity. Or will you for probably the first time in your life, as Am I better off today, than I was last year, the year before or four years ago? Is my government operating within the confines of our Constitution. Or is it not? What Freedoms and Liberties have I lost in the last three and a half years? Does my government have the right to should it tell me what I should be doing 24/7 in my life. Should I expect my government to do everything for me from deciding if I live or dies in the womb? To when I die? What I eat, when I eat? When I drink and when I don't? Do you expect your government to treat you as a child your entire life?

I think if you are honest with yourself, I mean really honest, and not so ate up with hate and your bias and bigoted ideologies. That the Answer would be no. I live in a Constitutional Republic, why in the hell should I not act like it. Knowledge is Power, and those who us the power to control you are a much smaller minority in this country than you think. Its called, use your own knowledge and the power of thought to change that to the positive. Learn the truth, facts, whatever you want to call it. As questions of your government, don't turn you head from it. And don't stick your head in the ground. It does not matter what your skin color is, what matters is are you an American. That is all that matters.

Our government is nothing but a tool, one that we elect. Its no different than our making a tool. We make it for a purpose, to serve us, The Citizens of this country. Not for the benefit or Illegal Aliens, Not for the benefit of the United Nations, Not for the benefit of another country. And sure as hell not for the benefit of the Powerful who use their knowledge to keep us divided, and under control.
You!

    I think that the skin colour is first related to the geographical origin and the climatic conditions there. Character, nature, views and brains do not depend on the aspect of the skin, but on every individual personality. In this, I agree with the questioner.

    I totally agree, and wish that all American Citizens did. The big problem is that the Government thinks its something to play with instead of follow as it was meant to be.

    Because the fact that he uses his black side to buy votes, and to keep them crying that they are the victims. And personally I think it would have made MLK sick to his stomach. And in case you have not noticed it's still an Illegal substance in most parts of the country.

    He's not using his black side to gain votes. It's the black community obsessing over the fact that he is. Personally, I'm black, and If I weren't I minor I'd vote for him just because he represents my beliefs.

    And also, there is nothing wrong with black people being happy about having a black president. Not to be racist or generalize, but white people have NO IDEA what it's like to be a black minority in country where black people have been historically undervalued and oppressed, and then have one of their own achieve to the highest position in that very country. Believe me, if he was an Asian president the Asian community would also be ecstatic and willing to vote for him. Same with all other minority groups including Native Americans.

    You should also take note of the fact that no black person voted for Herman Cain just because he's black...everyone knows he's an idiot. Same with Condi Rice. All the adults I know hate her guts.

    To look at it another way, why is a white piece of paper, snow or white paint not the color of ANY human being? People are not the color of coal for that matter either. Color means one thing for everything EXCEPT humans, then it tends to have another meaning. Talk about degrading.
