I remember the feeling I had after a friend invited me to go see Obama at a local college while he was campaigning for presidential election. I’m not deeply involved in politics and I don’t pretend to be an expert on the subject, but I do remember the energy in the auditorium that day. “A Change We Can Believe In”, that was the slogan and listening to an intelligent, articulate man that looked like me yet spoke so passionately and eloquently just made me proud and happy that I was able to experience a moment like that. My only regret was that I didn’t bring my kids. Looking around the auditorium that day there were people of every race and age, I surely didn’t think South Carolinian’s would get behind a man of his pigment but I was wrong. I met many people that were not only behind his grass roots movement but they were passionate about it, truly it was a great moment that I stumbled upon almost on accident. Truthfully, despite all the enthusiasm I never thought America would elect a black man as president. Obama proved though that he’s much more than just a black man, he created a movement. He used grass roots organization, social media, and his impassioned speeches to propel himself into the White House. I was stunned and pleasantly surprised when he was elected and I remember watching it with my kids, it was a moment that I’ll never forget. I’m not going to debate what it actually meant or means to black people, but I know what it doesn’t mean….
Racism isn’t dead!
Electing President Obama didn’t magically erase all the hatred and racism that some people in America will always have and embrace. President Obama is in a tough spot, he can’t seem too black and he’s not white so he has to try and toe the line and remain in the gray area. Being “too black” and trying to address all the issues of black America will definately hurt his chances of re-election. Every move he makes is scrutinized like no other president in history. I’ve never heard the rapper/actor Common referred to as a gangster rapper until Michelle Obama invited him to the White House for a poetry reading and the President was attacked for him being chosen.President Obama is attacked for the most frivolous things, could you imagine if he would have publicly defended Troy Davis? We seem to expect him to fix and stand up for everything ever done to black people in America and some are just waiting for him to try so they have more ammunition. He hasn’t just been called a bad president, instead he’s been called a terrorist. They don’t just attack his policies, instead they attack him as a person.
There are many people and parties (Republican, Tea, Fox News, and others) that believe they have the right to disrespect our President in a way that has NEVER been seen or tolerated before. We have in my opinion one of the most dynamic, well spoken, educated, articulate, and passionate Presidents in the history of America yet despite all those factors he’s treated like Rodney Dangerfield (no respect). There’s no way this should be tolerated, but it is just because of the color of his skin. I hear rumblings but no outcry for any fair treatment and respect when it comes to the leader of our country which is beyond disappointing. Our own people such as Tavis Smiley and Cornell West have even launched personal attacks as well as attacks on his policies. To me the message is clear, Obama is our president, but he’s still considered just another Negro to some people and they will go out of their way to try and “put him in his place”. Below are some examples of the blatant disrespect that to me shows race relations are no better now with a black President as they were without one:
- Speaker John A. Boehner became what historians say was the first ever to tell a sitting president that no, he could not deliver an address to a joint session of Congress on the date of his choice. On Thursday, Representative Joe Walsh said in a Twitter message that he would fly home to Illinois rather than serve as “a prop of another one of the president’s speeches.”
- Donald Trump continually publically challenged that Obama was even a U.S. citizen.
- MSNBC’s Mark Halperin called Obama “a dick” in an interview on The Morning Joe show.
- Rep. Doug Lamborn went on a local radio show and said that being associated with President Obama was like being stuck to a “tar baby.”
- Rep. Joe Wilson yelled out “You lie!” to Obama during a Congressional speech.
- GOP House, prompted by Tea Party-refuses to raise debt ceiling. (Aug 2011) It had been done 69 times since 1962 without incident. 7 times during Bush II and 18 times during Reagan. Suddenly now a new precedent is set a first in American history.
- One term Congressman Joe Walsh announced on national television that he wouldn’t be attending Obama’s September 8th speech.
- The shouts of the Tea party “We want our country back!”
- Former Fox News host Glen Beck declaring on the air that the president “hates white people” and “the white culture”
- Rush Limbaugh saying he wants to see the president fail.
- Congressman Mitch McConnell boldly proclaimed that he wants to be Senate Majority leader to make sure Obama is a one-term president.
- Newt Gingrich referring to Obama as “the food stamp president” and saying that Obama “knows how to get the whole country to resemble Detroit”
- And then there’s this Colorado billboard that depicts President Obama as a gay terrorist, Mexican gangster devil worshipper.
- Or the Iowa billboard that compares him to Hitler.
- Or maybe Hank Williams Jr. comparing him to Hitler in an interview.
Or maybe this youtube video will make it clearer:
I’m sure these aren’t the only examples of the blatant, racist disrespect President Obama has received, just like I’m sure some would say these things aren’t racist at all but I know better. Regardless of his policies, the state of the economy, or the United States as a whole Presidents in this country have always had a level of respect. These and other attacks aren’t political they’re personal.
There’s other Presidents, then there’s President Obama, the Presidential Negro or at least that’s the way some people will always see and react to him just based on the color of his skin. Welcome to The American Way, the more things change the more they stay the same what a shame. It’s tough being black in America regardless of your status, money, or title but I’m sure some people still don’t believe it.
And now I need a drink, because I realize no matter what I or my kids do or accomplish some ignorant people will still go out of their way to try and show us we’re just negroes too. While pointing out that America elected President Obama, The Presidential Negro or at least that’s how he’s treated….
No comment
hell yeah i noticed it. i was arguing with some white people on fb for denying it. smh
i totally agree, and what a shame, he’s had more good ideas than bad, which is better than most of previous Presidents
It is only proof that our “post racial” society is a myth.
Nixon?
TRUE TRUE! I hear black’s say. “I will not support him, I don’t care what color he is” for some its because They feel he is just a pawn for the white man. Others don’t support because he’s yet to fulfill allot of promises. But people Obama NEVER stood a chance. How in the hell can he get ANYTHING done w no, or very little support?!
Yes and i have yet to understand the hating amongst people of color. Then again the crabs in the barrel thing has always been big with us. We hate each other way more than anyone else!
This is pathetic and shameful.
But wait, wait!!! Because we have a Black President, racism is over. We’re in a post-racial society now. You didn’t get the memo from Hannity & Limbaugh??
And most of it stems from the very nature of his nationality! Do you think they were to let a Black man fix this country. If it looks like the worst idea ever- electing a Black president! Then maybe…just maybe, it will NEVER happen again. At least NOT for a long time! I hope He gets another term Just to PISS
allot of haters off:) If every Black person in this country get off THEIR Duffs n vote for him, Just in spite, he could win. I suspect there’d be another Florida issue, making Sure he doesn’t!
We Black progressives have to stay active in the 2012 elections so President Obama wins re-election.
Yes and especiall Blacxk folk.JEALOUSY raise its ugly head again.
Racism will ride that ignorant, bigoted wave for as lonnnnnng as possible. Unfortunately, its NOT dying any time soon! However, we have come a long way- There’s NO denying that, I mean just the very fact we even have a Black president that we are discussing now, proves that!
@Janice, not in this country ever again… even if he wins a second term, they will never let it happen again
They hate him because he’s what they fear the most… A God Fearing Black Person with Knowledge & Power! LMBO….prejudice idiots comes in all colors shapes & sizes!
i dont know why he is struggling to pass that job bill. i dont get it. everyone knows that jobs needs to be created but nobody is doing nothing about it.
obamas jobs plan to benefit hispanics no whites ,blacks or otherwise need to apply a paper from the v a called the reader http://www.rutherfordreader.com
Totally agree
Yes I have noticed Kissy, makes me just SMDH
I’m almost hopin the he’ll lose so that ALL these 21st Century HATIN’, KNOW IT ALL NEGROS, get a little taste of Slavery, cause that’s EXACTLY what’s going to happen if ANY of the GOP/TEA PA PARTY gets elected! Maybe Black Fok really need to SUFFER for a WHILE, cause we can be some Dumb #$#!&%^$^%# at times!!!!!!
SLAVES!!!!!
Yes he is…They would’ve never disrespected ANY of the other presidents they way that they do him. & they do it out in the open. Congressmen & such…It’s ridiculous!!!
An Arab threw a shoe at Geo W Bush. Can it get lower than that on a world stage?
It has to do with the promised of “Hope and Change” getting subsumed by the standard corporate dickswallowing. His race or skin color or whatever else is not a factor.
That’s how I view “THEIR” non support of the president. “Making it seem like the worst
idea this country’s ever had (electing a black), to
ensure it will NEVER happen
again” his presidency, in some aspects, has divided this country even more so! It seems to me, every time this country takes a few steps toward ending Racism (notice I stated “a few steps”), something happens that throws us all the way backwards, and divides us even more than we were before. It’s really sad when you think about it. I knew his presidency would be yet another divide, I knew it…. slowly – VERY slowly, but surely Racism will dye out in this country! I hope o live
“I hope I live long enough to ENJOY IT”
Can’t win for trying. He’s disrespected by the majority cause of his race and he’s disrespected by his race cause a lot of us feel he hasn’t done enough for us! When he won the general election this one line from his speech, “I am the president for ALL the people” remember that and get off your Ass, OBAMA 2012!!
These same self hating negros will probably vote for uncle ruckus, ooops I mean Herman Cain. Smh.
Ha, that is the FUNNIEST BULLSHI* I’VE HEARD ALLLLLL WEEK. ” His skim color has NOTHING to do w it” my as*
Skin”
They fear Obama and black people in general. Black people built this country, and Obama only represent black america dominating the political field just like sports, music, and everything else we put our hands on. He will get a second term because all of those disrespect will be used a fuel for fire for his next successful campaign.
Yes and educated and celebrated ones too, like Tavis Smiley, Danny Glover, Bob Johnson, etc!
“An Arab threw a shoe at Geo W Bush. Can it get lower than that on a world stage?” 2 shoes and no one was fired from the secret service………wth?
I think we just notice it more because Black people bought into the, “Obama as savior,” myth. Do we forget all of the, “Dubya’s a dumb@ss,” editorials and monologues? Obama is just having more issues with expectations and lack of perceived backbone in dealing with congress and accountability. We knew that ethnicity and his name would be used as an issue, so those aren’t a surprise. It’s just funny how NOW people are pulling the, “You can’t expect the government to solve your problems!” card, now when before we’d be aghast at the insinuation. Also annoyed the hell out of me when Black ppl were climbing over each other to label Bill Clinton as, “The 1st Black President!” solely based on weed smoking, love of fast food and cheating on his wife. Forgetting his liberal use of the death penalty and general apathy in regards to generally perceived, “Black,” issues. He was, “cool,” though so that was enough. I have yet to see a president that didn’t deserve some level of ambivalence. Look at his record of actions and find a significant difference between his policies and Bush. You accept the title, you have to expect the bile and it doesn’t make anyone less, “Black,” to question authority just because it’s a little darker hued.
thats bullshit bush is the most disrespected president obama is close behind him but bush has goten the most heat out of anybody
Obama is a figurehead just like any other president.. He really doesn’t have any control.. People just don’t believe this.. I would never talk about Obama.. I am proud of him. Even if I had something bad to say about him I would keep it to myself.. Slavery once existed, there was never supposed to be a Black President, Obama does what little they allow him to do. He’s just a black man at the end of the day. One that should be respected and admired.

@ Greg, that was an Arab! Our president is disrespected by his own People! And as someone put it above, “and they do it in the open”

Yes I did and do notice that President Obama is highly disrespected by Americans….I LOVE MY PRESIDENT!!!!
To alot of people he is just another rich politician. You can’t expect people to care for him just because he is black.
please believe racism aint goin no dam where long as ignorance exists-and we knw that aint goin nowhr-
He is commander and chief…and I will vote for him next election, rather he is a puppet or not rather he win or loose he will always be my president. He to me represent motivation.
The article doesn’t say ppl should care about him because he’s black, he should be respected like any other president in the history of the U.S. & not attacked personally. He can’t pass the job bill or any other bill by himself..

some of the biggest racists in the WORLD are right here in the US. It’s all about race! racist whites, blacks, chinese, mexicans. Just a bunch of racists with nothing better to do than to be, well, racists. Everything we do, see, touch and smell has a racist spin. can’t vote for who you want to, because some racist will say something about that. can’t eat certain foods because some backwards racist has something to say about that. It’s the country we live in. Enjoy!

And Black ppl aren’t gonna vote for Cain, simply because he’s Republican. True Progressives would be looking either towards the CBC acting as a true independent organization, as opposed to Massuh’s recruiting office, or force the two parties to EARN our votes rather than simply, “Yassuh,”-ing all the way to the booth every year. We refuse to support or even build an urban economic base, yet wonder why NEITHER party even acknowledges us. Democrats know we’re not going anywhere, while Republicans know we will never vote for them regardless, and we’re never gonna demand anything from either, so why would they care one way or the other? And slavery’s BEEN in effect. Check your paycheck, the welfare office and the overcrowded prisons we gleefully jump into in order to provide Mastercard and apparel companies free labor. I’m not saying vote Romney or Cain or Bachman. Just point out an actual candidate who WILL benefit. So far, I don’t see it.

And how are Black ppl, “disrespecting,” him? By asking why he disregards Black ppl in policy and speeches? For shame! And exactly true; the president is a figurehead with little if any power. Why jan, does it matter whether black people support him in his powerlessness or not? A milquetoast is a milquetoast whether you tell it it’s pretty or not.

I agree! Alot of ppl never gave obama a chance from the jump. They looked for him to fail. Some ppl looked for him to perform a miracle in the short 3 yrs he was in office after YEARS of screw up on bush behalf. Be realistic!! He is doing the best he can
“Why, then….”
NO I DID NOT
Dave Chappelle for President.

@Janice You did see the correction right? Hilarious, if misplaced comeback, though. As anyone will tell you though: Namecalling and the sort just confirm that a relevant argument isn’t there. By all means though, if it makes you feel better(and more importantly, distracts from the discussion), have at it.

And I wouldn’t expect any non- black’s to believe any different. Shouldn’t Even be allowed to.comments on this! So you KNOW NOTHING of being Black in American. Get the fuc* outta here…

I’m English and I do not understand how people expect him to rectify 8 years of terror at the hands of Bush, within a 4 year term… Are people that naive?!!

Ppl and their ignorance smh speaking on a situation they have no idea about
Does anyone notice that racism will never stop.
A few typos in my last comment!
Racism will be here until the day we die! Its not going anywhere due to ignorance. Its EVERYWHERE honestly i think obama being in tha white house just brought it out more
@ Kissy I’m very confused at how you could say that you are aware that Presidents have no control but then at the same time say you are proud of him? Why are you proud? Proud of the fact that he is a tool of the Ruling class of Banking families? He doesn’t care about any of us regardless of color. He is a man with good oratory skills who happens to be a part of a royal bloodline. That’s it. The rhetoric in his speeches have matched up almost identical to Hitler’s (who was also an oratory tool for the Elite) speeches if you translate them. Doesn’t make any sense to me why anyone would trust any U.S. President if they actually look at the facts.
The ruling class is arrogant about their position in the world and have kept an extremely meticulous geneology of their entire lineage all the way back to the Pharoahs in Egypt. People don’t realize that all Presidents are part of the same bloodline whether it is cousins, brothers, uncles, grandfathers, etc. etc. All U.S. Presidents except one (Martin Van Buren) can be traced, in public records, back to John “Lackland” Plantagenet The King of England 1199 – 1216. Yes including Obama! You can’t become President without being part of the Royal Bloodline.
Our rights have been quickly deteriorating in the last decade especially after the Patriot Act was passed. This recent addition has Dictatorship written all over it! Doesn’t anyone have a problem with this? This is a clear violation of our Constitutional Rights!
This quote comes to mind. There is some argument whether Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin said it.
“People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both!”
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/05/us-cia-killlist-idUSTRE79475C20111005 Please take the time to examine this somebody? Reality doesn’t care what you think people. This is the TRUTH!
@Andrew did u just compare Obama to Hitler? That kills your whole argument…
@Andrew did u just compare Obama to Hitler? That kills your whole argument…
8 years of dumbassery, yes, but what has even been attempted to end the occupations, reverse
the money hemmorraging, practically stimulate job growth, etc? We need to get off of this kick off calling any black person being held to their word or their own set expectations, “hating.” Other people also don’t understand why, when an
entertainer perpetually
disrespects, on a worldwide
stage, his own people, he’s
revered, while anyone saying,
“Yo, that’s kinda foul…” is the, “Uncle Tom,” or, “hater.” Same principle. If Clinton, Mccain, etc, would’ve been placed in office, folks would have the same expectation of progress. His Blackness just means that they can count on endless soundbites of folks in the hood screaming, “Y’all just sayin’nat cuz he Black!” While statistics and examples prove his ineffectiveness. If he is just a figurehead, it would stand
to reason that his primary
purpose is to gauge how blindly
Black ppl will submit to certain programs if implemented by a Black face. Seems to work.
I understand completely why you would come to that conclusion Todd but you are wrong. They are both Talking heads used by more sinister figures in the background that hide themselves through proxy. Those figures own more than 60% of the worlds wealth. People like Obama or Hitler were both hand picked because of their oratory skills which are always needed to control the way the masses percieve reality.
Racism will DIE” like everything else. Believe it!
Here we go with this bloodline bullshit smh.
Bizarre doesn’t always equal false. Reality is stranger than fiction. Don’t rely on T.V. and newspapers to get your answers it’s all owned by the same people. It is simple to see if you aren’t too afraid to seek the truth. It’s not a pretty one but I would rather know the truth than be fed my whole perception of reality by a small group of Greedy and very Perverse individuals. It’s up to you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Look at the facts and ignore your emotions. Your emotions are enslaving you and keeping you from the truth!
@ Torrey very well said man very well said!
Was Hitler really handpicked or was it that once he got out of jail he knew what to say to rile up the masses?
@Andrew I read constantly but you cant just make comparisons based on speaking skills and ignore everything else Hitler did….
@ Tywon it’s all public information Tywon. You’d be doing me a great favor if you could set me straight on my ludicrous false beliefs. These people are so arrogant they don’t care if we know because they already have their tentacles in virtually everything! Go ahead and entertain yourself with the thought that I might just be right. I recommend it and it is public records so no one is stopping you but yourself. Good luck to you.
Hitler didn’t do it. He was just a tool to get the people to back the war for those who groomed Hitler as a Public Figure. Samething all of our Presidents do. Get the people to support wars which only benefit bankers and war profiteers abroad.
We are all simply batteries that power the military industrial complex so it can be used to completely subdue the entire world and eventually enslave it. We are all pawns who are funding this unknowingly. The orators job is to trick people into thinking it is the right thing to do by strategically demonizing the “enemy” and making the U.S. actions seem Altruistic in nature. Let it be known. I know it is a hard thing to swallow but I guarantee you it is true. Go out and prove me wrong.
YES…..
@Janice. Exactly who are you to say who can comment on any post? Please tell me how you can go from a discussion about disrespecting because of someones race and then you yourself are apparently racist. Its called hypocrit. Look it up. Cuz that’s you babygirl.
Everybody has a right to speak. Wheither they’re black white yellow pink blue whatever..you can’t say “racism will die” and then be a racist yourself. Its people like you that corrupt this world. I bet you and Bush woulda got along pretty good even tho according to you, you wouldn’t vote for a replublican if it was the only choice. Maybe you shouldn’t vote at all ever because its closed minded people like you that create this whole issue that everyone is talkin about now.
I read Mein Kampf and one thing I know is that after he got out of jail behind the Beer Hall Putsch he wasn’t even allowed to speak in public. Hitler and his men raised a propaganda war to get folks on their side. IF not for the Great Depression, Hitler never would’ve been able to get the people to side with him no matter what a ruling class wanted. Stop being a revisionist and tell the truth and not this agent of misinformation mess.
DO folks know what the word racist means? So Samantha you would vote for Herman Cain? lmao Wow.
@Tywon lemmie just tell you that I’m actually a democrat and no matter what race I vote democrat. You can sit here and tell me everything that you have read and that’s great you’re intelligent woo hoo..but at the same time my point was that you can’t tell somebody just because they’re not african american that they can’t have the right to comment on something like this. I’m engaged to an african american and yes obviously I’m white so therefore I believe I have some knowldege on being disrespected just because of race. Oh and by the way, I most definitely do know what the word racist means.
You SAMANTHA ARE EXACTLY WHO I AM SPEAKING OF. YOU shouldn’t be commenting at all. I know so many closet racist. And you’re Probably one of them. Biatch…
BITCH I AM MARRIED TO a white man, biracial kids! In-laws. Sweety you are the racist bitch!
Slow your roll seriously, first of all how is it even possible that I was telling you what I read when you were not even a part of that convo? Now keep up with me here, I addressed you when I asked about Herman Cain. I could careless who you’re engaged too, I don’t recall asking.
Tywon! Its like beating an IGNORANT horse this bitch Samantha! Go vote for Cain in 2012 bitch! You, your comments, your IGNORANT vote are a non muthafkn factor!!
Bottom line is folks president obama had been disrespected since he took office. You can say bush was disrespected but he was never told to go back to a foreign country. Never asked to produce a birth certificate. Etc etc.
Oh yeah Samantha I believe is a tea party agent. Who is gonna marry a Tom Dubois. From the boondocks
The thing with Trump and the birth certificate issue was pretty much a modern day version of show me your papers. I can’t recall anyone in Congress ever disrespecting Bush the same way at any time. I guess folks see what they want.
Some People “see what they want” or pretend it isn’t there
Please excuse my language Kissy! Calling me out on something, and a a racist” of ALL people I am NOT. And that pissed me off! Whites are the only race I know that can marry someone of a different race (Samantha), and yet still be racist against the whole race. So When they say “I am engaged to a black man” etc or I have a black friend” means NOTHING at all.
It’s a disgrace even people who you talk to everyday who seem to be non racial have little race related remarks about the Prez..sick ass world..
I think he is the best president ever.. We vote again for him…
NE body talk against President Obama need too B BURNED to a STAKE or HUNG like they did my Ancestors!!!! Cll me Racist WHO cares BLACK POWER lmaO
I would like racism to die but unfortunately it’s immortal. Because she’s been around since the dawn of mankind. And has giving birth to many offsprings. Tribalism,bigotry,prejudice,bias, all of that will exist as time goes on. And it only takes one to display all of those symptoms. people like Samantha and that idiot who has that page where he disses black women are prime examples. You be the judge
WOAAAAAAAHH… See, this is why I stay away from the politics.. This was a good piece that you wrote TODD
@Kevin..this is the last comment that I have to say about any of this. First off I applogize to Jan for saying what I said to make it look as if I were racist. 2nd I am not an example of racism, being prejudice ect. I was simply stating my point that no matter what race they should be able to comment and have an opinion. I’m sorry for those of you who feel that I am racist because in the long run all that matters is that I know what I am and that’s REAL. I liked your comment Kevin because I think that putting me out there as one of the prime examples of racist people just shows how ignorant that you really are. You have never even spoken to me before but from 1 comment I had said I’m the target and the bad person for trying to only get 1 point across..smh..think what you want and again I’m truly sorry that you think me of all people is racist.
Well I know I am NOT a racist and don’t want to be called one! I wasn’t raised to ne ignorant, and just tolerate others just because.
Oh and let’s not forget that blacks are racist towards whites also..nobody sees that though..its always the other way around because blacks weren’t in the white house or anything to do with the U.S. before so they felt left out. When a white person walks into an all black school or even lives in all black community they’re considered trash to the blacks…that just shows who the REAL racist people are.
Then I also apologize!
BLACK POWER lmbaO okkkkkkk
Who the real racist ppl are?? Huh
BLACK POWER
I if you ever feel any prejudice from Blacks as a white person. Its usually in response to everything we know, have experienced and have been through. Were hating on simply because we are black. Keep in mind, we didn’t start this, we were brought over here and treated worse than an animal. And some people (due in part to continued race issues in this country), haven’t and can’t just get over it!
“Freedom of speech………just watch what you say.” Reminds me of all of the, “You’re not an American if you’re against invading Iraq and Afghanistan!” except a step beyond. We do our point of view no favors when we make an argument a, ‘Who can cuss the other person out louder,’ contest. Serves only to distract from the point being professed. That, and it just comes off as uncouth. The Trump accusation was a good, relevant example, which I thought Obama handled fairly well. Opposition, though is going to use ANYTHING available against an official they dislike. See: .Bush’s marblemouth, Clinton’s libido and lying, Reagan’s age/wife’s reliance on psychics, Carter’s perception as a milquetoast, Kennedy’s catholicism, etc. Obama’s just got a more overt point of attack. Not unexpected, but doesn’t excuse him from criticism anymore than it entities him to worship without the deeds to justify it.
All I know is there will always no matter what be racism in this world and its up to each individual to choose how to deal with it when the time comes that they are either being considered racist or the opposite being hated on.
Gotta say though, I’ve NEVER seen a white person who came in being themselves anything but embraced by Black people, at least in school. Typically the opposite. Usually Black kids from another side of town are in danger just due to geography. Have actually seen girls get their faces slashed simply because they had long hair. ” Oh she think she cute!” All a white kid has to do is not be overtly racist and they automatically get a pass. That’s in most walks of life. Music, sports, acting, etc. See: Michael Rappaport, Mac Miller, Danity Kane, the most popular girls in predominantly Black schools, etc. Off topic, but relevant.
Not an attack, just an observation based on school experience, teaching and conversations with people in the environment.
@Torrey, it does happen the other way around too. When you’re use to only seeing your own race and then all of a sudden another race gets thrown in and mixed in with the crowd there’s always going to be an issue. Either the black kids hate cuz they’re not the same kind or the white kid feels threatened because there isn’t any of their kind there. Its a natural instinct to feel like everyone is going to be hating on you when you’re the only white person around. I know from expierences. I’m not saying you’re wrong because you’re right in a way. You just have to see it from both points of view.
Who thought racism didnt exist?
Of course. Again, speaking from experience. Other areas may be different. My experience has typically been that people tend to be victimized by their own more than others. Especially where people of color as protagonist are involved.
Well, I am gonna disagree. I feel it will go away- some day! May take another 100 yrs, but I believe it will happen. I’ve seen so many changes just in years on this earth! As opposed to everything I know, read about etc! We have come a long way. And there is no way Racism will exist forever. NO way! And I’ll throw this out there (experts predict that in about 100 yrs or so, there will be so many mix people – of all mixtures ie; Black/ white, Asian /black, Mexican /white, that we will not be able to tell what race 80% of the people are). This study was done a few yrs ago! Just in the 5 yrs my kids have attended their school (that was almost ALL white), has so many biracial kids now its unbelievable! So…maybe I am just being hopeful in my believing Racism will die. However, I see and have seen many changes! So that helps me remain optimistic. Hate and Racism is VERY ugly.
That study is a prediction of America’s future! Typo “I’ve seen so many changes just in my yrs on this earth”
Yes
It’s sad that most will not listen until the buses and trains come and pick them up to be killed at F.E.M.A camps. I’ll be praying that at least some will wake up. This is all happening right before our eyes and it blows my mind that no one can see it at all! This whole thread is mainly filled with people arguing and it’s all semantics or they are simply parroting what they have read in proganda books or heard on Television. God help us. I guess all you can do is pray.
@everybody….Duhhhhhh….blacks neva did get fair r equal treatment…gays and other minorities got dem. .we been waitn 4 how long???

@Kevin..I’m really curious as to why you think that the United States which as of right now still have a few rights will be bussed away to camps like Hitler had done?? Its actually an interesting theory and you’re set on believing it. Is there something that the world is missing and you know?? Unless there is a draft I can’t see them taking any americans anywhere they don’t want to go probably because we are more intelligent now then when Hitler was in control over there..there would be numerous boycots and ect..so please explain how we are all going to end up like the Jewish people and how Obama is like Hitler?? Ya know honestly Hitler was a genius. He was sick and demented but a real genius. He was educated and knew what he was doing. That’s the only reason he succeeded in his “master plan” that eventually got taken over anyways. So with the little power the president has I don’t see him in any way being associated with Hitler. I’m just simply asking you to explain you’re theories more because not only do they not make a lot of sence but they also are contradicting.
I’m sorry that was @ Andrew not Kevin. Sorry.
@Andrew can’t explain his theory because it makes no sense & proves the article correct. You can read every book in the world & still not have common sense, but everyones entitled to their opinions & beliefs…
Really Andrew? ” bused to FEMA camps to be killed”?! What world do you live in? Were you born in a different time? Suffering from post traumatic stress? Some of the things you say seem Just a little off- weird to me! Please explain more. Who is going to kill us? Isn’t Hitler, reincarnated as Obama…that has this wonderfully mastered plan? Inquiring minds REALLY want to know!
“Is it” not “isn’t”
Hide ya wife, hide ya kids!! LOL, my morning laugh!!
Kissy Yes he is SMH It agers us all but we have to let go@give it to God.
That’s so mess up….its to bad how ppl think now a days. Like they don’t know how too LOVE no matter what the situation is. Mess up.
Every advanced civilization or “empire” takes about 200-250 years to collapse. It’s all throughout history. I made an example that you all obviously don’t understand so you look at it in a concrete way. Hitler was used for his oratory skills. Obama is used for his oratory skills. How does that automatically make Obama Hitler. They were both just tools for other people behind the scenes. They hide their true identity and how much of the world they possess through proxy. It seems like you are skimming when you read my comments. Maybe you didn’t even read anything I said. Maybe it’s too scary for you to even fathom. Everything I said makes perfect sense it’s just that you probably don’t have enough background information for it to sound correct to you.
If anyone would like to discuss this with me you can go ahead and message me if you would like. A thread like this is too disorganized to be typing pages of information on. Otherwise all I can hope is that you all will look into what I’m saying yourself.
Question: Did anyone notice that Obama is now able to execute people without due process, hold them indefinitely, and isn’t required to state what the person is being held for?
Okay once you affirm that that is true then I want you to go to the Patriot Act and read it. Especially the part that has redefined the term “Domestic Terrorist”.
The Government A.K.A The Banking Family Dynasty have entirely too much leeway when deciding who is a Terrorist. If they wanted to they could define anyone a Domestic Terrorist and their immediate family would be guilty by association. When this is happening and being reported on by the “Lamestream Media” all compliant sheeple will assume those people really are terrorists since they don’t have any close connection with that family. The U.N. Forces already have themselves stationed all over our Country and in Canada at over 800 F.E.M.A camps. They are fully operational, fully employed but no prisoners yet. Yes they do have gas incinerators. They have trains, buses, helicopters(for more important figures they want killed immediately) ready for transporting. Their dump sites have sturdy plastic coffins that can fit 3-5 people in one. They are all stacked out there in the open. A good 20% or more of the U.S. population knows about this but can’t get people to listen because they are too swept up in Mainstream News and T.V. (Hint: Smash your T.V. or don’t watch news at all!) The media depicts these people as extremists, out of control militias, etc etc. when the vast majority are patriotic individuals who have discovered how the banks are raping the world and the coming reduction of the world population. Cities are designed to herd people. They’ve had this plan in place a hundred years ago. The holocaust was just a sample of whats to come. Don’t allow these Arrogant Perverse Geniuses to lull you into complacency!
I just thought of one more thing. All of you who are conversing with me at all are close to realizing that I’m right. Don’t give up trying to prove me wrong. One thing I have noticed is that every single example or reason you have given to me to prove me wrong has come from your controlled school curriculm and/or the Monopolized Media News. 95% of the media is owned by the same people who have been orchestrating all of these wars, economic collapses, etc. They don’t air anything that isn’t in their best interest. People like me can’t get air time at all and if we do then it is slandered immediately. As long as the FCC is what it is our only chance for real info is pirate radio stations and grassroot movements. Turn off your T.V.’s. You are Zombies parroting everything you have been taught since infancy by the MAN UNCLE SAM. You’d better thing real good and hard about what I am saying because I very well might be the last warning sign for you before all the power shuts off and you suddenly realize that grocery stores only stock three days worth of food. I’ll pray that you wake up out of your media induced slumber and actually desire to see if I’m wrong. TURN OFF YOUR T.V.’S

@Andrew let’s say that everyone agrees with you..let’s just pretend that’s what’s happening, how exactly is it that we are suppose to stop all of this? By not watching the news? If what you’re saying is even slightly right turning off the news won’t do anything to save us. Ofcourse they only put out info that benefits them. That’s what every company does. Now don’t think that I’m believing this I just think that its quite a theory you have and id like to know exactly how you know so much about the supposive plan and not many others do. This is the first I’ve ever heard of anything this wild and I don’t even watch the news..soo its like you’re stating all these facts you say but yet don’t give a way to escape it. Are you saying this is the way the world will end?? Nobody knows when or how that will happen..id like to believe you because you seem intelligent same time the things you’re saying just don’t add up.
As far as domestic terrorist..we do have terrorist living in America..so therefore that’s why they could use that term. If you define a domestic terrorist it will give you the answer as to if they did commit a crime or not. We still have the judicial system ya know..and everyones suppose to be innocent UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. Like I said if this is true there would be plenty of protests going on and I haven’t seen 1 yet.
So apparently the people who supposivly know about all of this really don’t care because they aernt doing a thing to get it changed. So really think about it yourself..take a look at reality..
People know and they are protesting but the groups are so small they get smothered by the giant. I think the major problem you are having is not having a proper perspective as to how huge the giant is. If you don’t watch the news then why are you so swept up in it’s propaganda? The way you stated what Domestic Terrorist is is the exact way “They” want you to decipher it. People are too busy or too involved with mindless entertainment to pay close enough attention. That is a part of their plan as well. Look into the people who own the vast majority of the entertainment industry. We have been okaying the surrender of our rights rapidly over the last decade ever since the Patriot Act was signed into law. Read the redefinition of “Domestic Terrorist” all the way to the end. The constitution is nothing but a piece of paper. I think you should read all of my comments. Did you read the one about us being batteries. Here I’ll copy and paste it so you don’t have to scroll up.
“We are all simply batteries that power the military industrial complex so it can be used to completely subdue the entire world and eventually enslave it. We are all pawns who are funding this unknowingly. The orators job is to trick people into thinking it is the right thing to do by strategically demonizing the “enemy” and making the U.S. actions seem Altruistic in nature.”
You can’t see that the way our media depicts terrorists is propaganda? Our media has embedded reporters who don’t control what they report. Investigate embedded reporters Samantha. They paint a picture for us that satisfies our conscience so we will continue to back wars. Simply working and cooperating in our country is what is funding the massacre of countless innocent people around the world. Most people wouldn’t cooperate if they new that the wars were designed to shift power and wealth to fewer and fewer hands. It is definitely not for our security that is for damn sure! It has gotten to the point that 1% of the world owns 99% of the wealth. With that kind of money you can do virtually anything.
All I can say to do is make a plan to get out of the city as quick as possible. Try to get off the power grid and find a place that has plenty of clean well water and resources like animals, fish, wood, etc. Learn to grow your own food. If what I am saying happens you won’t have rights to get out of the city. The executive orders will go into effect when a national emergency happens (such as earthquake, storm, bomb, dirty bomb, severe financial crisis etc.) I’m not gonna argue whether the emergency will be real or STAGED. Have you ever read the executive orders that are in place Samantha? Here’s a link. http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/eo/femalist.htm Every president since, I believe, Nixon, has signed these in agreement. Once there is an excuse to implement these orders we will be in a Draconian state so to speak. History shows that once a leaders attain this kind of power over their masses they don’t easily relinquish it. Feel free to message me if you would like. I could type for pages and can’t answer everyone’s questions. I definitely have answers for you guys though. You just have to be willing to take the time to discuss them freely without allowing you emotions to take over the debate. Remember I am wasting my time doing this out of concern, not to pretend to be smart like a lot of people on these comment boards do. Let’s find the truth and stop focusing on just winning the arguement. You Dig?
Here’s a good quote to think about.
“Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from depandece back again to bondage.” – Benjamin Disraeli

@ Janice glad you can recognize that! Most probably look at how long my comments are and just skip over or give up on reading them and just skim LML!!! 90% don’t even address anything I said HA!

Whelp My good friend Prima Donna, we’ll have to agree to disagree!
@Jan this is actually the first debate I’ve ever commented on. I read what people say but usually just keep the comments and who I agree and disagree with to myself. I didn’t know that Andrew had always did things like this though. Now @Andrew I’m not trying to win an argument all I’m doing is getting all the details to YOUR theory so that I might be able to understand where you are coming from. Its just far beyond anything I’ve ever heard of. Ever. I mean I heard a lot of different people discuss how the world will end but never that. If what you’re saying is true you would also be considering our goverment as communist at some point in time..which here we go back to Hitler..history does repeat itself. Ill give you that. At the same time like I said we have rights and there are too many people that have the knowledge now that those people back when Hitler was alive didn’t so there isn’t anyway that the goverment can do this to the citizens. That’s my view and honestly only some of what you are saying has a point. I mean really why would the goverment want us all in camps? We already work and pay taxes and the banks got bailed out 4 years ago when Bush ruined our country. That’s something that NOBODY can ever change my opinion on. When Clinton was president we weren’t even in half the debt we are now..not even close. Maybe in debt to other countries but not in our own. He knew what he was doing. A republican gets in there and now look where the world is at..this is off topic I know but I guess now I’m going back to the original topic. Before Bush became president the crime rate drug usage and violence weren’t nearly as high as it is now. Bush is also the cause of that. You can’t feed your family because there is no work so the only option is to sell what you have once that runs out you either steal or kill to protect and provide for your family. Again off topic but its the truth..Andrew I really don’t know what else to say because what your preaching goes against everything that we have ever known and there is no way with the intelligent people in our country today that they would let theirselves be controlled by that. Thanks for sharing though.
Did you even read what I said? Wow. Did anyone? Did you even look at the Executive orders in place? Do you think I don’t know how ridiculous this all sounds? I do. Everything you have told me in response is Media fed information. All you have been saying to me is what the majority are telling you. You can’t rely on the majority and no they are not smarter than in WWII. People have much lower I.Q.’s than ever before! You are parroting pure propaganda and you don’t even realize it. People don’t let all this happen. It happens without people noticing. That is hard to understand as well but it is quite genius how it is done. Study how the Manhattan Project worked. No one who worked on the atomic bomb knew that they were building an atomic bomb. It is because of specialization and compartmentalization that this is possible. Using their vast wealth and connections the Elite have turned the world into something like a giant Manhattan Project. Nobody knows what they are contributing to because they have been taught in a way that promotes tunnel vision and decreases critical thinking skills. Our curriculm in school has been heavily controlled since 1902 when Rockefeller started the GEB. What you need to do Samantha is to start questioning yourself more often. Challenge your own beliefs or what you automatically percieve as logical or illogical. You might be surprised at how much of what you think just is…. isn’t so. You are close to breaking free of mental slavery. Question everything including yourself.
