I Can't Believe People Don't Understand The Very Questioning If Something Is Racist, Is A Big No-No
Edited on Sun Jan-13-08 02:17 AM by fightindonkey
The fact that his campaign and supporters have turned this into everything racial, they've destroyed Barack's chances of ever winning. People do not want to hear claims of everything being racial. Even once turns people off. I can't believe that they haven't learned from history, what you do not do in front of the public. It looks like heavy chips on the shoulders of him and his supporters. The public see the race card pulled once, they will vote for whomever is running against you. Leave it to the typical PC race-card pulling crowd, not able to take a hint. Even if you thought something was racial, you are better off not saying anything during a campaign. If something is believed to be racial, the public would pick it up on it's own. The constant manipulating and breaking down any criticism as racist, makes Obama look even weaker, and people do not want to hear it. The race card is not allowed to be played in a campaign. You call racism once in this, and the public, no matter what, gets the hint of the race card. It's a losing matter period for the candidate. His supporters are having fun throwing race into the equation about everything. They have just lost it for themselves, and him. Dems do the dumbest things and still haven't learned what the public hates to hear, and won't stand for. Obama looks like a big baby, clutching onto race, as to why you shouldn't be critical of him. No one wants to be a racist.

2. Maybe. But don't count on it.
Don't count on anything this season.

I honestly haven't seen any non-Hillary people questioning the timing of this assault. I do see them piling on the "racism" of Bill and Hil and all their people. That I have seen. Takes a lot to make people doff their rose-colored glasses.

5. But, what if the Claims of Racism are true?
In a so-called Democratic Society?
Which ostensibly doesn't allow for Racism to tarnish the Fabric's Flair in any way shape nor form?

Syke! Just kidding! ...disregard those questions.

Plus I always laugh at Blackfolk who just don't Understand how, this being a White man's Country, means you can not and WILL NOT ever see success/get ahead by reminding us Caucasoids of how we have to Lie, Cheat, and Discriminate in order to compete against Black people.

I try to tell them that, as well as what you seem to allude to in your Thread's topic;

Whether their Racism claims are true or not, we Caucasoids just DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT here, this is 2008 not 1968. Obama is half-White, and considering that part of his heritage derives from Kansas, he should've been cognizant of this reality.

18. This is how they act on DU huh? When they can't sta...
stand truth that someone brings?

Where did I lie?

Where did I offer mistruths?

Where did my opinion go astray from this Culture?

Please, let me know, instead of attacking me for my view...geezuz

And you all wonder why Repubs were able to LITERALLY steal the past two elections from us.

I hope this isn't really one of those *neo-con Fascists site* in disguise, that specialize in 'Silencing Folk' who bring opinions that they don't appreciate...is it?

Remember, as a Democratic, that *Courage is priceless* no matter what.

21. people do not want to hear cries of sexism. Even once is too much
talk of ganging up on "girls' turns voters voters off. Whining and hiding behind a man turns people off. It looks pathetic, like a woman is a little girl baby and can't handle anything.

27. I can't believe how many things are wrong with this post.
1. We're not allowed to ask if something's racist? That's a "big no-no," is it? Okay then, boss!

2. What the hell are you referring to? When has Obama accused anyone of being racist? Provide a link, please.

3. By the way, it's "racist," not "racial."

Who do you support, David Duke?
