[pesante5]

[BetterThanAThesis]

Wow you totally skipped over the sousaphones.

Asshole.

[003charles]

Awesome

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

Obama the first half-caste biracial mixed-race president not black

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste dony you know that in america if you have one drop of black blood in you you're black.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 Thats fucking sick and satanic. In africa with out any idiotic one-drop-rule all Biracial people are considerd as White to the vast black native africans and in South-Africa they are coloured which means mixed-race. Obama is far from bieng the first Black president make no mistake and dont be fooled by this brain-washing american news-media Obama is most definitley NOT Black. He is half-caste.

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste well bthat's africa in america as long as you're half black half anything you're black. and since you're in africa it shouldnt matter to you

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 Yes it does matter to me and every other african because it is our fucking race that is mentioned in a White peoples biracial children. This is why so many of us Africans hate african-americans because unlike us they are not Indapendant we africans have always had black representitives to represent our race and nation like Nelson-Mandela and Robert-Mugabe where is black americans have White peoples biracial children representing them and other quadroons who are basicaly White.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 Ontil the black american race stops depending on White people and there biracial children to victorsize them in political power then you will never have a Black president. Obama is the White mans deception the White america news-media is using there fellow half-white children brothers and sisters to decieve the world and the black african race by diluting mixed people into our race to try and replace mixed people with black people to kill our african black/brown race and cultu

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste that's where you're wrong America dpes have history and we do have culture in fact we have multiple number culters in America. and alot of people have left Africa over the years to come to America over the years

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 Yes mainly just to study but once there studies are finished they return to the mother-land. The lie that the american news-media is feeding the peoplr is a lie and they are trying to make us feel and think that there is no more racism in america when this clearley shows racism at its best.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 I agree that Obama has made history in becoming amricas first half-caste biracial mixed-race president but not Black when he is just as much White to there is no difference in calling him the 44th White president since he belongs to the White race too. But Obama is really continue where his White ancestors left off he is related to seven-former White american presidents 2 who happend to be former president George-Bush and vice-president dick-chaney so he is continue where

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 His White ancestors left off.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 We refuse to belive the lie America has no history or culture. And the satanic slave-one-blood-drop-rule is pure evil .

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste there is history in america. let's see our founding fathers, the civil war, the war of independence, buffalo soldiers, ww1 and ww2, vietnam war, our HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITYS have a lot of history, THE DAY SLAVERY WAS MADE ILLIGEAL, MARTIN LUTHER KING JR, all of the famous musicians from AMERICA who have gone over sees and HELPED your country get BETTER SCHOOLS AND HEALTHCARE and a hell of a whole lot more i could say

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 The only history you have is War and callanizing other countries thats not history thats crimes againts humanity. The main point is that your history victory with your president is a LIE in open arms.

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste as well as the tuskegee airmen, harriet tubman, madam c. j. walker, rosa parks, the bus boycott, oprah whinfrey. stop focusing on the negative and look at the POSITIVE. America is known as the LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES!!! and if we did so bad how come we are a developed country and you guys are still an undeveloped country

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 Because Europe took everything that Africa had they even took the Engines out of the cars when leaving let alone all the minerals and diamonds oil thy stole everything that Africa had and put it into Europe thats why Europe is so developed because its all stolen African property.

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste if that's true then how come no one has done anything about it. its never to late to claim whats yours in my opinion

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 That would mean civil war when England was in controle of the african countries they took all the minerals how do take back what happend hundreds of years ago well for some countrues its 50-years and for others they are still under british rule.

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste i didnt know some of the countries are still under british rule i thought had stopped long before i was born

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 No some still are under british rule and Ethiopia was the only african country that was never ruled or collanized by Europe b.c before christ its in the archives.

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste if i offended you about the america stuff i apologize but i will always defend my country when someone tries to do talk bad about except when it comes to bush cause he was a bad president hell they threw shoes at him but i want to learn more about africa. more so the country of egypt, nigeria, and morroco

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 Are you White american or Black . Where does your roots from if so .

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste im black. completely black. my family was around during the slave trade except that the slave master changed our last name to mccloney. and we've had that name ever since. the white mccloneys still exist but they live in the northern part of the united states. we tried getting in contact with them but since they dont like black people they dont want to talk to us. but like i said im black. my ancestors come from africa but dont know where.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 Ok thats not your faulth its the old slave owner devils for taking your right-full culture and ancestorial belonings. 

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste if i talk to them they might talk cause im the type of person that everyone can like and sometimes love. i went to a an almost white high school and th teachers at that school were prejudece. the minute they put they eyes on me they thought i was a problem child cause im a black teenager, but once they saw how well behaved i shut them up so i know how to deal with those kinds of people. my mom is black but she can pass for white, but she still experience prejudeceness.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 But how can your mother be black and pass for White I dont understand she is either black white or half-caste or Quadroon quater-caste like damien-marley.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 This victory is a Lie thats all that can be said about it the truth of God is the truth of God and the news media should clearly tell the truth and says he biracial mixed-race or half-caste mulato not Black.

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste she's black but she has very bright skin. its only slightly darker than a white persons skin color. she took after her mom's side of the family thats why i said she could pass for white cause her skin color is so bright

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 So does she have White blood from the slave past no offence my friend im just curiouse because no black/brown african has a skin pigmentation like that onles they are albino africans. I take it that your family is mixed yes.

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste she took after her mom's side of the family and they are very bright skinned people i never met my grandmother cause she died when my mom was tweleve years of age so i dont know a whole lot about my grandmothers side of the family but my entire family does have some other bloodlines but only because of marriage. we do have native american blood in our vains though. its really strong blood to cause alot of my family fought off stuff that couldve killed them

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste to answer your question she's not white at all thats how blacks from louisiana are we call them creole.

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 So if you have native-indian blood then you can pass for an actual african-american unlike Obama or most half-caste people or Blacks in america thats good.

[TheDragonmaster18]

@OBAMAisHalfCaste my grandfather had that blood to and he fought off seven major strokes that couldve killed him but 3 years ago a minor one took him out. but he was old an weak and was starting to slow down

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

@TheDragonmaster18 May he R.I.P.

[QueenDann]

Howard University had the nerve to play Diana Ross's "The Boss" for Obama. I was jumping out of my seat for this one. This was so sweet. I'm form the south and grow up around black college bands rocking like Howard University. The band was great and the sisters were high stepping! Right On Howard!! You represented in a black proud way!!

[ktmarzett]

Well done Howard you all were rockin! I am so proud!

[skittlesj526]

I don't think I would've marched behind America's Band!! FAMU set the tone and the bar exceedingly HIGH!!

[TomazHilton]

Lies

[goindown71]

TRUTH

[BPrideful]

An alum told me that HU has been invited to several but did not accept.

[ch5289]

We have a BLACK PREZ!!! It's really not about him being black, but he is the best man for the job! I love Barack! I heard this is the first time Howard got to perform for an inauguaration. I hope that's just a rumor. If it isn't, that's a shame

[eMthegymnast]

our sub teacher told us when they passed by obama and they do rim taps they the DM winked at teh president instead of saluting liek they were supposed to, ad is now removed from his drum major postiion :(

[DisorderlyDoc]

that was for a different band, he got suspended.

[Vamply]

Yeah, you got the wrong band sweetie! It wasn't Howard. Do a little more research before you post lies.

[deangelo398]

No you do a little more research because it was Howard,in was in the band.Gosh !!!! So you should reresearch.Just a correction.

[lexiepooh4u]

the band to do what?

[deangelo398]

No I was in the band. I know HU when I see them.I was correcting Vamply who said that wasnt Howard.

[spartangirl]

dangelo398 you need to follow the convo. Vamply was replying to eMthegymnast who said that a DM got suspended for winking at Obama during the parade. That was NOT a Howard DM that got suspended. The drum major who was suspended was from the Cleveland Firefighter's Memorial Pipes & Drums.

[deangelo398]

OOPs my bad , I will publicly apologize to Vamply,I am a man and will admit my fault,just looking at it in plain site I thought the whole convo related to others saying that HU didnt march in the parade.But thank you.

[deangelo398]

My apologies,i thought you were one of the ones who was saying that Howard wasnt at the parade but after reading what started the convo you were not ,so my apologies to you in regards to my initial comment.

[ScherzoFFF]

Good job Showtime!

[jc2007rose]

[ATLASUBrave0307]

[IYield62]

Nice!! Nice!! Howard guys did a great job! luv your energy!! I'm from FAMU in the 80's we were closer to your size and when everyone is marching it looks nice. The HBCU's represented and Obama was proud. The Hater's had problems with the HBCU's Showtime style but the crowd loved them!!

[fall98]

I'm M4 alumni and just wanted to say you guys did a great job! All of our HBCU's represented!

[Keypinitreel]
