So Obama hates blacks and whites? They need to get their stories straight.

[milkgodnl]

It certainly a curiosity that the head of the Republican Party, Michael Steele, is now arguing for quotas ..

[benjaminbor30]

yeah there was definitely a reason Marylanders didn't elect him to the Senate in 2006...

Man, is this guy stupid. Patterson is running in an election year, where there will be congressional elections all over the state. He would be a drag on the ticket. Corzine ran in an off year. There was no ticket to drag down. Duh.

lmao....nice subscription to the RNC / GOP channel....seems i struck a nerve.....michael says "what up"....LMAO

[bart11114]

No Corzine and Patterson's numbers aren't the same. In fact Patterson makes Corzine look good. And who is Mr. "I'm gonna bring minorities back to the GOP with Fried Chicken" to talk on that?

steele and other black conservatves / republicans are desperately trying to create a wedge between obama and the black community.....they did it early on during the campaign saying he wasn't black enough...cuz he was half white...etc....all the while steele and other GOP house negroes go out at do the bidding of racist republicans and try to appeal to the racists in their base

[jshooper]

steele is a desperate pathetic opportunist....HE IS AN UNCLE TOM....he shamelessly tries to appeal to racist white conservatives behind the scenes....on radio and on fox....but then when in "mixed" company he tries to desperately get black people's interest...by using street slang....and as a black person i can say that most of us know that he's full of shit...and a sellout

[someperson111]

BINGO. The Pres has no right to tell someone not to run, the voters have that right and will excercise it

I'm not doing "research" .

I related my personal experiences of black racism against blacks. And it's even more fun to point out the liberal and black hypocrisies, when it comes to their own finances, health, family, etc

From the beginning I related anecdotal evidence from racist blacks. You repeatedly mention that your "blackness" gives you more experiences to draw from. I don't deny that, but at the same time it doesn't take away from the experience of the override the examples I gave.

[antimarxism]

I've known blacks from many socio-economic classes. I'm not sure why you assume I don't.

I gave you examples of more "elitist" blacks (and enjoy relating them to elitists such as Obama).

And when I discussed how affirmative action doesn't apply to liberals and blacks, I have seen no difference in socio-economic classes to have this particular attitude.

Most of my associations now are with middle to upper class, due to my work and networking requirements. But most of my past was lower

[antimarxism]

When someone makes a racist statement, I typically don't probe them. My grandfather made racist statements for years, (and was generally negative against everyone so maybe not the best example). To this day I've never gotten any deeper on the issue with him, nevertheless gotten deeper with other bus owners, chamb of comm meetings, clubs, social situations, neighbors, etc..

Nice strawman though with you writing "Blacks" (as in ALL blacks). You've intentionally done this throughtout.
