i would love to see someone puch her in the mouth

[fauxpromises]

@daveyt925 Wait, how's this guy racist? He was annoyed that she was telling him he needs to think the same as the far-left NAACP just because they are black and he is black. That would piss me off too.

[daveyt925]

My question is this ... forget this racist black man.... does the "normal" chamber of commerce refuse to help blacks ? and how about the "BLACK" chamber of commerce ... do they help white people? ... so all of you racist POS blacks that want your own organizations but still force yourself on the original organization.... As a white man i want a scholarship from the United Negro College Fund.. then i want the BLACK chamber of commerce to assist me in business development!!!!

but u wont...

[daveyt925]

wow you are some incredibly stupid people .... brainwashed by media ... watch the first 30 seconds again ... who is being rude!!!?!?!?!?!!?.... then listen to the text of conversation ... So let me get this straight ... in discussing any issue ... if u give a list of examples to support your argument, then you are not allowed to include Blacks without that being the only focus ... ignore the 6 other examples and pull the race card like "you people" do everytime u lose a debate!!!!!

This is sad. Black people think liberals are for them...no they're not. They're for keeping minorities with their hands out and depending on the gov't or their livelihoods. Elitist liberals think that minorities are poor, unfortunately souls. And she was being condescending. Black has nothing to do with energy just like he said. He's like where are you getting this? She's like, "You poor little black thing let me show you where you're wrong." Pfft!

The Senate and Congress should be ashamed for their ignorance, denial, lies and general incompetence regarding climate change. Get educated here: ClimateProgress . org -- ClimateCodeRed . net -- It's deeply irresponsible to not take substantial action to prevent further catastrophic climate change. BeyondNuclear . org -- EverythingNuclear . org -- ucsusa . org/nuclear_power/ -- nirs . org -- thebulletin . org -- NukeFree . org -- uspirg . org -- Greed for energy is poisoning future generations.

@TheMainEvent321 Most definitely! Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!

[robertquentincobb]

@Naiym1 Right ON!!

[robertquentincobb]

Right on Brother! Harry Alford . This is just another EVIL-Condescending Elitist! Attempting to pit A positive Black War Hero! Against his own Black community! But It Backfired you Dumb Ass Bimbo! This is a classic Political (Bait and Switch) technique to Separate Blacks and have them Fight each other!! Thus: WE are not Worried about the NAACP -half as much- as WE are about EVIL Liberals like Boxer!!
