Comments on: Should We Want a Black President? http://dissidentvoice.org/2007/05/should-we-want-a-black-president/ a radical newsletter in the struggle for peace and social justice Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:27:33 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Al http://dissidentvoice.org/2007/05/should-we-want-a-black-president/#comment-19819 Al Sun, 04 May 2008 07:01:28 +0000 http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2007/05/should-we-want-a-black-president/#comment-19819 Ok, For those of you that dont feel there is racism in America go to the Blog pages all over the internet. Ok Both democrates have good points and bad. Although i personally feel that this country is making a mistake I feel that the election is all about race its funny most Whites are saying i'm voting republican or i'm voteing hmm lets see whos around me ok Hillary or in a black crowd i'm voteing Obama. Most Blacks are just plain voting Obama and the funny part is most Blacks are about as good at giving thier reasons for voting as Obama is at giving answers for questions about the Issues. No your right racism Not in America... If he wins were in trouble if he loses were in trouble. Honestly he should run as an independent then all could vote for him that really wanted him and no one can blame anything if he loses. but then how would anyone prove that it was his skin that made him loose. Just like win a black American loses thier job the first thing they scream is Racism if the super delegates vote against him he will scream injustice then he will go give revered White something else to preach hate of our country about. I say Barrack run as an Independent the you as well as Mccain can run against the only canidate who really has the guts to run this country truth is We the people dont know how to be un-bias personally I try to fight racism I grew up in a Mixed family but I find it hard to support someone who did drugs and attended whites church and has advisors that took part in Bombings, and I find it disturbing when black America overlooks these facts just to get someone into office that is black? look I want to be fair and honnestly I think I will not vote this election just to wash my hands of this and I urge all americans if you feel that you must vote for someone because of skin color just dont vote. i'm sure you will be disapointed Al Ok,

I had no idea. I heard him on the radio and I read some of his statements and he sounds as white as Hillary or all the other white lying opportunists. Chappelle (of the eponymous show) would auction him off as white together with Ms Rice and Michael Jackson.... Obama is black?!?

Barak has expressed racist ignoring racial views by insinuating he doesn't have any, and Margaret made that point by quoting, "“There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America - there’s the United States of America.”, then pointing out the obvious institutional racism that Obama will not notice when he makes Cosbyesque statements. Using the subjective reality begging statement, "We all have our opinions, don´t we"? Not only shows a cog dis fear of truth, but as well renders whatever you previously said to that same heap.

Let´s take the first issue. Are you saying that the art of Bullshitology is strictly for white possible canidates and the nerve of Obama mastering it as well? As far as his ability or inability to convince the white voter that one of his ridgit concerns would be a UNITED america respectful of all nationalities and races (which would be an incredible feat for any president let alone one of color) and TRUE JUSTICE for all its citizens. You say "Blacks" will, as usual support the Democtic candidate, no I say they will surely vote for Obama just by what he professes to believe....a unified strong America for all of us without "cream on top" illusions that have plagued progress for us all. Íf anything else, he´s worth a try. You know as well as I that there is always a way to radify everthing. His loyalty to Blacks and Whites would depend on positive support of the right persons. If they want him to suceed and support him, he may well do so or fall depending on american principles and idiology. He doesn´t need to express his view on *Racism* you already know the answer to that one as I do. If you are saying that is he willing to function as a...let´s say a Clarence Thomas (for lack of a more viril candidate), in order to get approval by those who do not want to change things, I think that would not be the main issue of this person. Why is having to put your head through the hole and having eggs thrown at your face a pre-requisit for american politics? You went for the "Juggerler" as most persons who would seem to be against a possible "JUST" person who appears to be interested in bringing american values to the forefront and administrating successful political agendas with americans in mind and not just rogue personal and political gains. Anyone who has read this article would plainly see a rooted bias in all that what said and not cast it off as a mere political opinion. We all have our opinions, don´t we? I think it would be more constructive on your part to refocus on the aspects of positive change rather than quoting what the "System" in it´s present state dictates that you say and do.
