Pookie and Ray Ray isn't racist it's funny but Obama would play the race card if the others said it. |
|
Still, we shouldn't contribute to the race dividing by pretending it's racist when anybody says it including Obama.

If he wants to talk to Pookie, he better start addressing her as Miss Pookie and Cousin Ray Ray, ain't blood.. that's mister or Sir.. Obama offended me and all of my in-laws... asshat 2 coming to you.

9. Thank you... It is offensive no matter who you are.. it assumes people |
|
in the south are slow and lazy and too stupid to think for themselves... like they don't know to go vote.

4. pulling more shit out of your..... |
|
you haven't a clue what Obama would do, but as usual you make a claim with no foundation.
You need a big fat pizza pie in the eye.

7. It sounds like he is encouraging "the black folks" to get out the vote. |
|
I don't think anybody else would we allowed to do it quite that way.

8. I thought it was an interesting moment in the debate when Obama pointed out that John wants whites |

Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 02:58 PM by bigtree
to vote for him, and John had to remind him that blacks and women and others were included in that. Certainly Obama seems less restrained in his racial overtones-- perhaps by nature of his blackness. But, I can see that he needs to be mindful that many 'white' Americans don't like to be labeled or grouped together under one ideology, belief, or affiliation.
The pookie, ray-ray thing, I think is funny. I think many in SC will understand and take it with the humor intended.
