Rav,
I agree, it's not worth getting into a flame war. Clinton lost. That pleases me greatly. That it pisses you off to no end is merely a bonus.
So you are vindictive toward me. Interesting.

Rav,

Do you agree that the social and economic position that whites have today was due largely due in part to those thing which happened in the past, for example, slavery, Jim Crow legislation which systematically excluded blacks political and economically? If blacks cannot have reparations based on what happened in the past, whites should *NOT* have the social position that they have today because that position too was based on events that happened in the past. Whats good for the goose is damn sure good for the gander also.
I know, y7ou would rather just forget the whole thing and ignore that part of history.
Proof please?..... Oh that's right, you have none. Quit making stupid assumptions....
But you are not black, so you do not understand the stigma that it has caused. When blacks were freed from slavery they were stymied as second class citizens and worse. Today, that stigma still exists and bigotry thrives.
Thanks for the History lesson, I've already had this one.
There has been no qualifying event to redeem that piece of history or the decades and generations of brutality and discrimination. There is still discord. So you would rather every black person shut up about it so you will not feel an ounce of shame, but our history as a nation is not as noble as you would like to pretend.
Just like Hillary could have made her point without interjecting the adjective "white" multiple times.
But who cares, it's all water under the bridge now.![]()
Thanks, Ravi for finding the ssentence in context.
Yes, regardless if my memory failed me, (and I still think he said something remarkably similar in one of the debates, BTW) my point is still 100%
correct.
Taken out of context that sentence is sure to mislead one about what Obama's intent and meaning was.
In fact, taken out of context it means exactly the opposite of his intended meaning, does it not?
His complaint was that we are being distracted by the media pouncing on gaffes, NOT that he was directing his staff to pounce on them to hurt Hillary.
I don't know what you call such a thing as pulling such a sentence out of context, like this.
But I call that sort of thing intellectual dishonesty.
Nice.. wow.. second time in one thread that someones had their proverbial ass handed to em...
But you were raised to be a dumbass that believes everything he reads on the internet without taking a moment to doublecheck its validity..."...I was not raised to be dumbass that's going to cough up money I don't have to pay for something that happened 150 years ago that I had no part in...."
What nation's history is noble by your standards?
But you were raised to be a dumbass that believes everything he reads on the internet without taking a moment to doublecheck its validity...
As a matter of fact, I should not feel an ounce of shame. {snip} I also have family members who are black
Just curious ... how is one raised that causes them to troll a thread?![]()
Two things must have happened...
You must have first spent your life as republican and,
You must reside under the village bridge..
I see no sense in making people who (as well as their parents and parents before them) have never owned slaves pay money to people who have never been slaves.

Obama's Campaign team PROMOTED LIES regarding racism and Hillary....then his followers and the Media.....
His TEAM of campaign workers continually emailed the Meida and used the Media OVER AND OVER AGAIN to smear the Hillary camp with a racism taint.
They did this...Obama workers and supporters promoted it and Obama too, with sly comments here and there....he's a smart man, HE KNEW EXACTLY how to use the race card and get ALL BLACKS behind him and HATING both Hillary and Bill....
That may or may not all be true, but none of that has a thing to do with what I was talking BrianH's post to task for.
I was taking BrianH's post apart because it was so obviously DESIGNED to mislead us to think that OBAMA was a supporter of reparations.
Obama clearly does NOT support reparations
I suspect that BrianH already knew that which is exactly why he took what OBAMA said out of context.
In either case, whether he knew it or not, he should have checked before insinuating that Obama supports reparations, BEFORE HE MADE THAT CHARGE on this board
Hence my charge that the post was intellectually dishonest
So the more Black people that *marry* into your family the less shame you should feel?
Just being a jackass, no need to respond.

You might want to reread the thread, Edi. Methinks you are a bit confused.
