"Trayvon Martin could have been me." President Obama MrFarstrider - 19/07/2013 11:27:21 PM 1401 Views
My interpretation is that he's being incredibly racist...against blacks A Deathwatch Guard - 19/07/2013 11:52:37 PM 728 Views
I think you're right MrFarstrider - 19/07/2013 11:54:41 PM 676 Views
From the litlle I heard on NPR I had a couple real problems with it random thoughts - 20/07/2013 12:53:40 AM 682 Views
Would he just shut up about it already? *pukes a little in mouth* *NM* everynametaken - 20/07/2013 04:20:07 AM 302 Views
Yeah. As someone who voted for Obama and would do so again, this is embarrassing. Ghavrel - 20/07/2013 10:10:53 AM 595 Views
Ditto. Except I didn't vote for him a second time. everynametaken - 21/07/2013 01:34:54 AM 692 Views
Does it matter now? Martin is still dead and Zimmerman will stay free. It's over. Tom - 20/07/2013 04:24:43 AM 603 Views
It makes a great deal of difference MrFarstrider - 20/07/2013 04:40:55 AM 644 Views
C'mon guys. It's sounding very "I'm not a racist, I swear!" in here. nossy - 20/07/2013 03:32:08 PM 779 Views
I can't like your reply enough. *NM* Rebekah - 20/07/2013 03:42:00 PM 309 Views
"I am not a racist I swear it" is what we are reduced for not agreeing on race random thoughts - 20/07/2013 04:44:52 PM 644 Views
No. As I'll say to Isaac in a minute, I'll apologize for lumping everyone in nossy - 20/07/2013 08:06:49 PM 626 Views
for me his about what will work not what is fair random thoughts - 22/07/2013 06:06:13 PM 703 Views
It has to be both. Period. Nobody will accept someone else trying to change them nossy - 22/07/2013 07:29:15 PM 676 Views
sorry I don't see where he says a change in behaviour is part of the solution random thoughts - 23/07/2013 06:29:16 PM 576 Views
He did not talk about the case nossy - 23/07/2013 07:32:44 PM 595 Views
A touch over the top don't you think? Isaac - 20/07/2013 05:20:21 PM 614 Views
One comment, maybe. If anyone has taken offense nossy - 20/07/2013 09:09:45 PM 626 Views
Re: One comment, maybe. If anyone has taken offense Isaac - 20/07/2013 11:53:08 PM 653 Views
As mentioned nossy - 21/07/2013 12:18:14 AM 696 Views
Re: As mentioned Isaac - 21/07/2013 02:25:30 PM 613 Views
You just EXACTLY quoted the point I was making MrFarstrider - 20/07/2013 06:04:25 PM 690 Views
Em... not so sure I did. nossy - 20/07/2013 10:19:54 PM 545 Views
I think he's wrong for continuing to talk about it, and doing so in this manner A Deathwatch Guard - 21/07/2013 06:59:11 AM 720 Views
We will also have to agree to disagree. nossy - 21/07/2013 10:25:13 AM 725 Views
There are more important things for him to be focusing on, I think. That said, I think you're right. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/07/2013 08:16:34 AM 298 Views
There will always be something "more important." *NM* nossy - 21/07/2013 10:25:46 AM 273 Views
That's specious reasoning. Ghavrel - 21/07/2013 12:02:17 PM 576 Views
It is if you sidestep my point. nossy - 21/07/2013 05:15:19 PM 554 Views
I am of two minds on the issue. *edit* Avendesora - 21/07/2013 02:04:48 PM 630 Views
Well, that's good. I feel like I'm working on 3 or 4 at this point. nossy - 21/07/2013 05:41:21 PM 675 Views
People do forget that he's only half black - and more importantly, not "African American" at all. Legolas - 21/07/2013 07:08:28 PM 565 Views
I'm one of those annoying people who corrects others with "biracial". Avendesora - 22/07/2013 08:03:10 PM 700 Views
That's not appropriate. Obama identifies as black. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/07/2013 06:22:06 AM 331 Views
So do lots of white kids. nossy - 23/07/2013 08:50:12 AM 534 Views
It is the truth, though. Ghavrel - 23/07/2013 06:30:53 PM 592 Views
I do not agree. nossy - 23/07/2013 07:06:33 PM 616 Views
Because he has publicly said that he has lived the life of a black man. Ghavrel - 24/07/2013 06:12:27 AM 523 Views
I'm not saying he hasn't. In fact, I've said too many times in this thread that he has. nossy - 24/07/2013 08:21:04 AM 707 Views
Re: I'm not saying he hasn't. In fact, I've said too many times in this thread that he has. Avendesora - 24/07/2013 02:22:58 PM 616 Views
I know, and I find that weird. Avendesora - 23/07/2013 12:57:39 PM 631 Views
This is a complex issue. Avendesora - 23/07/2013 01:09:00 PM 549 Views
Because he looks black, he's been treated like a black person. Ghavrel - 23/07/2013 06:28:41 PM 545 Views
Yes nossy - 23/07/2013 07:11:54 PM 711 Views
Re: Because he looks black, he's been treated like a black person. Avendesora - 23/07/2013 11:31:03 PM 539 Views
Yes, Obama was raised by white people. Wikipedia says so, so it must be true! *NM* Macharius - 24/07/2013 04:16:31 AM 311 Views
Perusing. Avendesora - 24/07/2013 04:02:53 AM 612 Views
That makes sense. Generally, though, one should go by whatever the person in question identifies as. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/07/2013 06:13:28 AM 291 Views
I noticed the press wasn't aboard with idea when it came to Zimmerman random thoughts - 24/07/2013 12:49:00 PM 581 Views
Which is silly, because anyone can be racist. You are right, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/07/2013 10:32:55 PM 283 Views
No, only white people can be racist. /sarcasm Macharius - 25/07/2013 04:38:13 PM 618 Views
No, not really. Ghavrel - 26/07/2013 07:40:45 AM 536 Views
I've thought about this a lot recently (prejudice + power = racism). nossy - 26/07/2013 10:36:16 AM 782 Views
so some liberal ivory tower racist redefined the word to mean they were no racist random thoughts - 26/07/2013 01:16:48 PM 597 Views
My reply to Nossy above. Avendesora - 24/07/2013 02:25:49 PM 574 Views
As always, the voice of reason when I am about to discount the US as fucking mental. *NM* ironclad - 21/07/2013 03:17:15 PM 282 Views
That's not very nice. MrFarstrider - 21/07/2013 09:03:55 PM 640 Views
No, probably not. ironclad - 21/07/2013 10:01:36 PM 591 Views
Its unfortunate you see us the way you do MrFarstrider - 22/07/2013 06:05:30 AM 657 Views
So Obama smoked weed, punched school bus drivers, and got arrested for theft? Anonymous2000 - 21/07/2013 05:10:26 AM 577 Views
No, but he could have. jh - 21/07/2013 01:08:26 PM 547 Views
