you all are a bunch of idiots! just because a black person voted for obama it makes them a racist?? then does this mean all white people who voted for a white person s also a racist? everyone has a right to vote so they can vote for whoever they want.fuck the racist talk - americans, your country is in trouble. why don't you pull your heads out of your asses and do something instead of just sittng around calling people racists!
Re: Jamie – I made that statement because it's quite obvious to any American person with less than half a brain that it's a race issue. Of course it will always be a race issue! if it was a Mexican up there instead of obama, it will STILL be a race issue. Do ya understand what I'm saying? I am not in denial of reality here.
Black political leaders have never looked beyond the color line, just think of Al Sharpton when I'm speaking. He's the only loudest policital black leader right now who cries Bloody Murder over anything that has to do with a black and white person. Like I said, blacks have a hard time looking beyond the color line more than whites. And, color is exactly what Obama represents for the black people of America. Another black man who gives them more power to bitch and whine about other race not treating them accordingly. That mental attitude has really ruined blacks in America because you can see it passed down from generation to generation with that bad attitude.
oh lookie…all of Hollywood is Democratic..go figure!
Re: Jamie – Oh that what you're calling it…. an education? Chris Rock ranting about how white men are destroying the world and keeping the black man down is NOT an education. He's just filling the room with more hate and continuing to divide people. It adds to the resentment that is already there. As for admitting that whites are racists, all I have to say is that it's not a one way street. Blacks will always walk with a chip on the shoulder b/c they feel powerless, therefore they will always have a prejudice against the whites. They are bigots as well. But it's true that they play the color card when it's convenient (i.e. Mark Furhman is a racist therefore OJ didn't kill his wife!!). I'm not trying to rehash the past, but just trying to enlighten you on why white people are getting tired of it all. I'll say it again, if Imus made the same comments about white chics being HO's with nappy hair … he would've never been fired. Where the hell is our "white" al sharpton and jesse jackson? and where's our "white" history month? Maybe when the labels come off then people won't feel so divided. Just some food for thought Jamie.
Geezus, what a load of horse shit. First of all , blacks only voting for Obama, IS racist if you're only voting for him based on the color of his skin, not because he's the most qualified to run OUR country. I personally have no issues with him, however I feel he is to inexperienced at this point to effectively do the job. I do however think it's high time we had some radical changes. There are so many things wrong with this country right now, and all you can worry about is who is giving money to which candidate? I call Bullshit. Think about a couple of things before you go spouting off at the keyboard. Do you want someone telling you, who you can marry? Would you want someone telling you what to do with your body? You might not give a shit about Health Care right now, but someday you will. What condition are the schools that children or future children attend? So race aside, who's going to ensure that these issues are not only addressed but corrected?
Re: K – This is by far the most intelligent post on here. Once everyone stops placing blame, and using the race card, we will all be better off. Hey heres a thought, pick the damn candidate that is going to best suit our countrys needs, instead of what the color of their skin is. WOW what a complicated process that is. I think the black Americans think if Obama is elected suddenly everything is going to be peachy keen. Well I hate to break it to ya, but regardless of color a shitty person is still going to be a shitty person. There isn't anything left that white Americans can give you to make your lives better. You have all the tools right there to make your lives better. Some use them , and some don't. But don't dare blame the whites for lack of them, because it's easier to play the race card.
the hardworking actor republicans in hollywood are probably scared they wont get hired if they donate to their party. another form of discrimination in this so called "democracy". hollywood is full of hairbrained lemmings who cant think for themselves and jump on any bandwagon du jour.
Blacks are ignorant, it is a fact…. Mexicans took all there jobs, >>>SING & DANCE 4 ME, & PLAY With A BALL…….. or complain about whitey as a comidian, it is so true,, god think about it….. All they did was complain & sell drugs, & lets not forget about Hip-Hop,,, DANCING HAS BEEN AROUND since Adam & eve, geeeeeeze… Im glad they were slaves, at least they had a purpose.
The funniest thing about slavery is??? ____ we didn't run into the jungle and capture you in Africa,,, YOUR OWN PEOPLE SOLD YOU TOO US 4 A BETTER LIFE,,,,,,,,,, YES, YOUR OWN BLACK AFRICAN PEOPLE, why do you think they call it the slave "trade"…… THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY US, go Vote 4 Musslim Obama….. YOUR KIDS FUTURE WILL BE SO FUCKED, who is he??? think!!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! WE ARE IN 2008 AND THEIR IS STILL RACISM AND DESCRIMINTION. WHEN IT COMES TO RACES I AM COLOURBLIND EVERYONE IS EQUAL TO ME! OBAMA IS MUSLIM! WHO CARES!!!! HE IS NOT MORE OR A TERROIST THAN BUSH IS ALREADY! THE ONLY TERROIST ISEE IS BUSH GOING TO OTHER COUNTRIES SUCH AS IRAK AND KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE FOR OIL! I HOPE OBAMA WINS! IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE STATES. BUT I KNOW IT WONT WORK BECAUSE OF ALL THIS DESCRIMINATION!
read Melisa #133 " vote Kim Kardiashian" on page one at the moment,,,,, The man is a musslim, his father & grandfather are radicals….. he chooses the weak, black people….. blacks have the weakest minds, the guy is wrong he was not BORN HERE, STUPID AFRICAN MONKEYS
Re: costamesaboy – Re: costamesaboy – YOU ARE FUCKING STUPID! WHY WERE THEY TRADING BLACK PEOPLE! BECAUSE WHITE PEOPLE DECIDED THEY WERE ANIMALS!! NO SHIT THEY HAD TO TRADE THEM HOW WOULD THEY SURVIVE YOU ARE FUCKING STUPID! YOU ARE THE MOST IGNORANT AND STUPID PERSON! THIS IS WHY THE WORLD ISNT GOING ANYWHERE BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU!
Re: costamesaboy – ANYWAYS THE WORLD IS CHANGING NOW AND MORE PEOPLE ARE MIXING SOON THEIR WILL BE NO MORE WHITE PEOPLE . I THINK THE WORLD NEEDS A CHANGE. LOOK AT WHAT HAS BEEN SAID SO FAR HERE. ITS REALLY A SHAME THAT PEOPLE EVEN THING LIKE THIS.
Re: DUMBASS – Re: HYBRID – _____________ you people are animals, & the true 100% whites will never blend in with you, ever!!!! ____once you cross the line with us your out!!!,,, we don't care if you do, but you will never be with us AGAIN after that,,, that is why people are so jealous of us,, WE HAVE THE STRONGEST BLOOD LINES 100% _________once you go black, you Can't come back, is the real saying!! later buddy, keep dreaming & throw on a Chris Rock Tape
Re: HYBRID – Even if everyone was mixed, what ever race they look more like or gravitate towards more, my example is Kimora Lee Simmons is half black/half asian/half something else. She gravitates towards more of her black identity. She donates to the black communities, she surrounds herself with black celebrities, she talks with the black attitude, she marries a black man, she dates a black man. Do ya see her dating an asian or whatever other mix she is??? Do ya see her donating to the other half of her?? do ya see her claiming her other identities??? NOPE! Race will always play a card in everything.
Re: K – Again, of course you dont understand, your white, its a struggle being black, its a privilege to be white, not that blacks want to be you. Why do you keep bringing up Al Sharpton, he doesnt represent the black race? First of all, from what Ive seen is that he fights for equality in justice, do you not want everyone to be equal since you seem to have a problem with him.OJ, actually not all blacks believed he was innocent, again you're assuming and he doesnt represent black people as I hope Don Imus and Kramer dont represent your views.BTW, Don Imus got 40 million dollars from CBS after being fired and he got hired on a satellite radio, even better because he can say what he wants for even more money, had he been black, his career wouldve been over. You got OJ now, so he didnt get away with anything and as far as Mark Fuhrman, he committed Perjury and he's a law enforcement officer, he didnt serve a day in jail,
Re: costamesaboy – you You probably listen to rap music and hip hop . So why you talking. Whats so good about being white? and why does it matter what colour you are?!?!?! you are probably that kind of person no one likes and cares about! Youre white good for you! So am I. What do you find is wrong about being black anyways? give me one good reason. Anyways their shouldnt be because we are all human beings.
Re: datesun – Actally, she's asian and black, her mother is asian. She does claim both sides of her. Both her children have asian name and she's also proud of her asian culture, to deny that side, she would be denying herself. Shje frequenty shows her daughter's their asian culture in everything that they do and also incorporates that side into her clothing line. She just doesnt deny her black side either, unless you have a problem with that.
Re: hybrid – ______-gosh, i didn't mean to hurt your feelings…. It is just a game, man… Haven't you been to jail or anything, be proud of your race, i have no problems w- blacks, you stupid simpleton, but i'm white & can trace my roots i luv it….. latinos are proud & so on!!! __ it is just a game man…… time 4 a beer at the bar, later buddy… btw my ex is Asian,,, nobody gives me shit!!!___ America is fun c/ya
Re: datesun – actually she embraces both sides of her culture which are asian and black, her mother is asian. Both her children have asian names and she incorporates her asian culture into her home and clothing lines, she just doesnt deny her black side either unless you have a problem with that.
Re: costamesaboy – Oh yes it really is a game! hahaha NOT! you really got issues! You think its funny to make jokes like that!? Ridiculous! I bet you try to go tanning.. lol what a stupid guy you are
I vote for Obama.
Tyra looks like a man who got a bad sex change and the doctors are still not finished!LOL HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHBioatch!
Re: Jamie – Seems like you didn't read my post nor understood a single word of it. Obviously, i didn't state about having a problem with her embracing whatever half she considers herself more. As a matter of fact, all she has done is named her kids little asian names, hardly any more than that. Once again, I already posted about her and don't need to repost again on the same subject matter. she was just a pebble exampleto a much BIGGER picture, which you are blind to thus far.
Im black and im muslim……………………….and i jus wanna tell all u shit heads that not all muslims are terrorist ……………….n same way women favour a female leader black people would favour a black president….it aint nothing beign racist and this is d 1st time a black man has ever gotten this near for presidence, hence the black actors contributin to him probably contributed to white pple b4…..werent called racist then…….
Re: datesun – I understood everything that you said. You stated that she doesnt claim her other side, did you not? I responded to that statement.
I AM A POLITICAL SCIENTIST & ENJOY Sociology,,,,,,, i must respond one last time before this screen dissapeers 4 ever & go back 2 work tommorro………. AMERICA, IS THE LAND OF THE FREE & an experiment..of free will, like god gave to us, opportunitys dropping at your feet!!!!___ Re: Hybrid – ____sorry to let you down, i'm 3 stoplights from the beach, lived here most of my life, have had natural tan all my life… i enjoy nature & have been swmming in this same ocean since i was 3 years old… i surf & all that whiteboy shit,,,,, have no desire to look or be black like you inner city people,,,,,,,,,,Costa Mesa Ca. is the Retail capital for the "boardsport industry",,,, Cali is very territorial & yes, life is a game, your the only one not playing?!
You know I've never been one to get into racial debates, because to me they are pointless. However I've read so much bullshit on here it's unreal. Black people can't be racist? Oh please, the hell they can't. Just listen to Chris Rock. He's constantly pointing out that the white man did this, and the white man did that. Oprah is one of the biggest racist on TV. Yes white people are racist as well. But if you stop and think about it, we are racist because we are constantly being punished for something that people did a hundred or so years ago. Nothing we do is ever enough. Nothing we do is ever right. There is no white history month, because it would send the black people in a fit of rage. There is no united white people college fund. There is no white miss america pagent, there is no required white people count in places of employment. If black people are tired of being treated as less than equal , put away the God damn race card, stop expecting us to apologize for something that happened over a hundred years ago, and use the resources, to make a better life for yourself, and your future generations.
@AND I WONDER WHO DO YOU PRAY TO ?
You pure IDIOT! LMAO You dummy, that post from "White People will be Extinct!" was a racist post AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE stupid!!! You clearly didn't read it but maybe you can't read so…
I was reading the comments thinking, "Why do some people think "White People Will be Extinct" was posted by a black person?" Because that's just how stupid you are! READ THE COMMENT BEFOREHAND!
Re: CM – There is a limit to how much you can give.
Re: costamesaboy – dont get tanned youre gonna be black OH NO!!! youre so pathetic
Re: WTF – You obviously inheirited those same racists thoughts from 100 years ago that you try to seperate yourself from, Oprah's racist over half her employees are white, but god forbid she supports blacks. In regards to Miss America,thats a white pageant , you can count the black women on one hand if they compete. Black history month, our school books are full of white history thats learned in schools throughout the nation, throughout the year, the only blacked talked about in books is MLK. I bet youi dont know much about black history as blacks know about yours. Some of these companies that your ancestors got rich off of that slaves built and inheirited down to you so you can have a comfortable future is why we have a Negro college fund.
All the SELF CONGRATULATORY HOLLWOOD IDIOTS………..You all SUCK AS bad AS YOUR GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS…..ACT that is what you are PAID to do…KEEP YOUR COKE PACKED NOSES OUT OF POLITICS….ELITISM…THATS WHAT YOU Practice…..You PREACH in the name of helping the little guy, but that is because you all have so much $$$$$$
If you busted your ass, 50 - 60 hrs a week and made 160k a year and the GOVT TOOK 35% of it……..You wouldn't be so quick to support the DEMS who want PROGRAMS FOR THOSE WHO ARE TOO STUPID OR LAZY TO HELP THEMSELVES…………..Death to the Liberals
Re: To WTF – Oh please. No one has handed my anything. I EARNED everything I have. I paid my own way to college, working 2 sometimes 3 jobs to do. I had the same opportunities as every other human being in this country. I have NO problem with any one supporting black people. I have an issue with announcing on practically every show, she's a proud black women. If Kelly Ripa were to get on National tV and announce she was a proud white woman, she's surely be critized for being racist. There are far more ethnic women involved in the pagent than a handful. Please don't assume you know anything about what I do or don't know about black history. Oh btw, did I forget to mention that while I might be a white girl from the midwest, my step father is black. He's the one that enstilled in me that color shouldn't be a factor into any decision. He find the Negro college fund appalling. EVERYONE should be entitled to an education, regardless of color. It's things like such as that, that continue to further seperate our nation. and until people realize the options are out there for everyone racism will prevail.
Re: Jamie – Once again, did I not state she doesn't claim her side. Where in there do u see me say claim??? I said GRAVITATE.. Do you understand what that means??? I'm done here. I've stated my mind and proud to have done that! Moving along now.
Re: datesun – Right here : do ya see her claiming her other identities??? NOPE! Race will always play a card in everything.
Re: WTF – What you earned, we had to work twice as hard and still didn't have all the opportunities that you had. Stepfather is black, okay, you know more than the entire culture does and he reprsents all of us, okay. Did you want to attend a black university or college, I think not, because that's what the United Negro College fund is for, don't know if you knew or not. You know the Miss America pageant is your pageant and it's a handful of black women who've won, whether you admit it or not. Black women were always told they were not pretty enough, their skin is to dark, their lips are too big, they have curves, etc etc. They've just started making black barbies and dolls not too long ago, that's what it means to be a proud black women since you couldn't just ask. Being proud doensn't mean that our race is superior, see that's what you guy's mean when you say it.
Re: costamesaboy – ya! i didn't ask for you biography! Im from Brazil. do you want me to tell you my life story too? lol dumbass! youre so funny. its like you just talk to talk. I think we should put you in the ghetto so you can know what it feels like after. Maybe only then you would understand. Cause I mean right now you're just talking. But can you walk the walk?
Re: HYBRID – checked it one last time eh'……… i don't know any portaguese, but "esta todo bien, via con dios mijo" well lil' brother this is it,,,, i've done some prison time in Arizona, so yes i can walk the walk… you seem pretty spiritual man, take care!!!
Re: To WTF – So because I am white, my 4.0 grade point average, came easier to me? Because I'm white my classes in college were easier for me? I wouldn't and don't consider anyone inferior. To be proud of who you are is wonderful, but WHY does it have to be I'm a proud black woman, or a proud white woman, why can't I just be proud to be a successful, educated WOMAN? Why does the color of someones skin have to be brought up in every topic? No I don't claim to know everything about the life my step dad has had to live. A lot of things he wouldn't share with us, because he wanted us to have deeper respect for humanity, but alot of things he did share so that we would learn from them. I heard the racist comments walking through the grocery store with him. the whispers from not just white people but also the black people. Why was he with that white woman, and who is this white kid calling him daddy. So yeah black people are just as racist as white people.
WELL COMO ASSHOLE NOT ALL BLACK PPL ARE VOTING FOR HIM, ITS ACTUALLY A LOT OF WHITE PPL THAT WANT HIM LIKE ME, THE BLACK FRIENDS I HAVE ARE ACTUALLY VOTING FOR HILLARY. YOU ARE THE REASON FOR DUMB ASS SHIT LIKE BUSH. FUCKIN ASSHOLE.
Re: WTF – I guess you're not comprehending what I said. We have to work twice as hard to get what we want out of life, whether in school, work, etc. etc. etc. Don't take everything so literal of what I'm saying and just see where I'm coming from. As far as black's being racist, it's not possible, blacks don't have enough power to be racist. I guess you didn't get it when I was talking about what it means to say I'm proud black woman, that's why I said you're not comprehending. Now blacks can be prejudice and that comes from struggling through life, now you're not going to understand that understandably because you're white, but don't try to argue with me about what blacks experience and the struggles that we go through every day. Also, because you experience certain thing's from some blacks, don't try to make a blanket statement and think that we all would respond to you being with your dad and your mom in the grocery store in the same manner. To me I could care less, that's your dad's choice, no sweat off of my back. I have a bi racial cousin, it doesn't matter to me, we treated his mom like she was part of the family.
Its really not about the color or race. But do you notice that eddie, tyra, chris rock and will smith all donated to obama. I believe that Obama and Ophrah have plans to rule the world or do something crazy.
Re: lala – So??? If you don't want a Black President then if Obama wins, move out of the country stupid!
Re: To WTF – saying blacks don't have the power to be racist is bullshit. If a black person says something offensive to white people it's prejudice, but if a white person says something offensive to a black person, it's racist? Logically speaking, how in the hell are they any different, other than black people say they don't have the power. I call bullshit. You have the power, to keep perpelling it, when some, not all black people use the race card. Black people, also have the power to stop it, by excepting that not every bump in their life is about race. White people can stop it, by accepting people for WHO they are, and not what they are. It's a two way street, that few seem to be on. It's sad really, because our country is in shambles, and this is the time when we ALL need to band together and vote for the best qualified candidate, to run our country. I like Obama, unfortunately I don't think he is experienced enough yet to run our country. In my opinion a perfect bill would be Clinton/OBama. I think that would give him the experience to run AND win the next go around.
obama is working with
osama and he wants to take
over the usa dont fall for his trap
dont vote for obama

Is that the standard amount? I find it odd that everyone gives under 5 grand… weird. That's not very much at all to these peeps. Especially big O. What gives? ; )
