And your issues (angle) 9 time out of 10 times is essentially "Blacks are inferior to Whites" Auntie Tom.

Enough said. 🙄They don't have to tell you the truth as long as it's funny.
It really doesn't matter at all how 'black' Obama is. To parrot myself, anyone who really gives credence to exactly how black Obama is really doesn't deserve to vote if their judgment is going to be clouded by race.

you see it as inferior or superior, i never stated that...but if that's the only thing you understood then my point of view must have been lost in translation, even though we are speaking the same language, uhm.
Re: Obama not black?

I was watching a rerun of the Colbert Report and he had a guest that came on disputing Obama's "blackness". She claimed that since his father immigrated here from Kenya is 1959 (I think that's what she said) that he is not the same as those who are considered "black" in America today. According to this woman, "black" people are the descendants of West African slaves brought to America. Since Obama isn't the descendant of a African slave, he is not "black". African-American, but not black.Now I have a problem with this. She says this under the guise that she wants to respect Obama's unique and rich heritage of being the son of a Kenyan immigrant but please. It seems like people look for ways to hate each other. Obama didn't "go through the same hardships" black people in America went through.
As far as I know, no black people alive today were ever slaves. What's the point in giving Obama another label, and pretty much calling him unworthy of being black?
I must admit it would be cool to have a black American President, but to an extent I dont think it would change much. To be fair I dont think Mandela did that much for black people in S.Africa, alot of them still live in alot of poverty now.
At the end of the day it doesnt matter what race you are if you are a compassionate human being you would be able to get the job done and relate to people.
To be quite honest im getting sick and fed up with Black Americans telling people they dont understand. I was on another forum and I was saying that I was interested in taking the beliefs of the Vikings as my religon. Of course I was told I was a sell out and I didnt understand what it felt like to be told I was inferior because I was black.
The fact that I was black didnt matter, I still didnt understand. They didnt listen to anything I had to say, I was a sellout and thats that.
The fact that I was sticking up for African culture was neither here nor there.

And that is why the vast majority of American voters are stu... no, I won't generalise and be unfair, because I don't think it is nearly that bad, and I really don't think it is the "vast majority." But maybe I am being naive.
However it is disappointing and somewhat disheartening to hear about "race votes" - being voted for or against based on race. Heaven forbid the voters don't see a color to approve or disapprove in the white house and actually vote on the qualities of the person as a leader - because by damn color is neither here nor there when it comes to that.
"This is a political election people", I feel like saying, "not a freaking trip down to the hardware store to find a color that matches the drapes." To think a capable, intelligent, worthy person might face an up hill battle because "The vast majority of American voters give a shit" about his/her color and lack the maturity to look beyond that really is depressing.
Originally posted by Imperial_SamuraI believe a poll by a major news source asked "If your party were to nominate a qualified black person for President, would you vote for him?" A same poll asked about women. I think the numbers were 98% for blacks and high 80s% for women.

Of course, I think the key words there are "your party." Even worse than the possibility of race voters are those that continue to vote party-line 😬

The mentality is the same and that's why THEY (republican party) get along, but since YOU ONLY SEE RACE(clumping all negro looking people as the same, as coming from SLAVERY, you use the word UNCLE TOM WHICH IS A BLACK American EXPERIENCE, not a Haitian, Jamacian (Collen Powel), South American (Peru or Brazil), or African, or British-Africana, etc, they aren't UNCLE TOMS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T COME FROM THAT KIND OF CATEGORY FOR SLAVERY, you see them as unlce toms BECAUSE YOU CLUMP them as one, I don't, I see the dynamics of people.
ZOMG SRSLY!?!?!?!?!1211
i wasnt calling him an uncle tom. maybe if you read past half the first sentence you would see that
oh i forgot, you're mentally challenged. my apologies. carry on

How do you know that? She could have been a comedian. 🙄 It is just a comedy show after all.

I'm fairly sure from your posts that you don't watch the show yourself, so why are you bothering to argue? 😬

Your point of view is usually very clear no matter how you sugar coat it or how utterly insane it may be. Just about everything you post dictates that blacks are sub-par in comparison to whites, that is of course if you don't go off on some insane tangent about hi-tech space-angels or rape causing third eyes, but even then at times those bizarre tangents have something to do with blacks being inferior. But hey, that's your point of view so proceed.

Colbert is not the only comedian on the show, I have seen the show enough times to know for a fact that you are not correct. He does have real people on his show, however, he also has other people who are actors or comedians who are there to help set up the comedy. My point is, you should enjoy the show, but never take it too seriously.
Originally posted by ShakyamunisonThere are 2 other comedians that appear periodically, but they're obviously not real people. Everyone else is real.

And even though you shouldn't take it seriously (both Colbert and Jon Stewart make that point very clear), they do make good points on their shows.

So, you are agreeing with me? 😕
I did not see the lady who said Obama is not black, but it could be one of two scenarios, she is there to set up some joke, or she’s some nut they found, and they just could not resist putting her on.

Sadly, she represents a sizable number of blacks who are criticizing Obama for his lack of 'black-ness' as if it's something he can change. 🙄
