In the aftermath of Barack Obama's massive victory in the South Carolina Democratic primary, the notion that "race doesn't matter" has become popular and widespread. The Southern Avenger explains why race not only matters, but how it pertains to the 2008 presidential campaign.

  • @bluegrassreb Nah, typical that a black man, when he is a criminal, is always judged by the "one drop rule". That is to say if you are half black, nobody cares that you are half white. You are considered black. Now that a black man is the president of the US, now we go digging to see how much white he has in him. O.J. Simpson is part white. Gonna take credit for him too?

  • GOOD VID, THANKS FOR TELLING THE TRUTH

  • SA sounds horribly collectivist in this video, where is the logic in saying you are "X", when it is the individual who decides who he truly is.

  • he says race does not matter in the sence of judging someone in more than just their race

  • That's real! "Race" matters, but it's not important as far as what defines an individual; only ethnicity and nationality define who a person really is. (I'm not sayin people won't define u based on "race", I'm saying that it's not relevant to what really makes a person who they are). Nobody is who they r because of "race"; we r who we r because of ethnicity/nationality! Check out my video "Why Race Isn't Important [Only Ethnicity]".

  • The question is not whether race matters, the question is whether it should matter.

  • Hey, SA, how do you feel about transgendered people? Are they also just "nutty"? A lot of radical feminists, btw, are transgenderphobic. See watch?v=5p6iwSPpFyI

  • The problem here is assigning to qualities of persons they did not choose the aspect of being objectively real. But race has no mind-independent existence. So you leave race for people to choose, so that even a seemingly white person could call himself black or vice versa. Otherwise u simply r a racist – which has much more 2 do with holding muddled and incorrect beliefs about objective reality than with being a bad person wishing harm 2 others, though the latter often follows the former.

  • not to mention...dinner. lmao

  • @joe00727 cold feet and back aches...
