August 13, 200916 yr the fact: Obama became the first african-american to became president of the United States... I was talking to a guy... a few months ago... having a normal conversation... I asked him about his country... : "Well, I live in a free country, very beautiful, and My president Is Barack Obama (Maybe he thought i live in a cave) , and I'm very proud to say that My president is Black!" Dude!... South Africa's President is black too... What's the big deal? Showing that aspect only tells me that people still care about the roots of the population (black or white)... you know what i mean? SO, do you agree with me saying that this is another sign of racialism? Maybe I'm wrong... :nice:
August 13, 200916 yr I think the fact that people make any kind of a big deal about a black president is a bit racist. If it wasn't racist, they wouldn't care.
August 13, 200916 yr 1) Africa doesn't have a president. 2) Racialism is not what you call it. 3) Of course that statement shows racism, he is judging the president based on the color of his skin. By definition that is a racist statement.

August 13, 200916 yr i think you are right... people tend to make a big deal of things that would not do in other cases (just change the fact he is black, what if he were blind, do you ever heard about a president that is blind?, why can't they be presidents if they are well prepared just because they have some handicap they can't be presidents?) and that is a racial comment, a big step back if you ask me, don't we have broke those things already? then why to make a big deal of it, don't we should see it as a normal thing instead of highlight it? :thinking: btw Africa is a continent not a single country.

By definition that is a racist statement. South Africa does... anyway...I was giving an example :nice:
August 13, 200916 yr You're right in the sense that it shouldn't be a big deal, but it is really, so it's good that it was celebrated
August 13, 200916 yr Author i think you are right... people tend to make a big deal of things that would not do in other cases (just change the fact he is black, what if he were blind, do you ever heard about a president that is blind?, why can't they be presidents if they are well prepared just because they have some handicap they can't be presidents?) and that is a racial comment, a big step back if you ask me, don't we have broke those things already? then why to make a big deal of it, don't we should see it as a normal thing instead of highlight it? :thinking: btw Africa is a continent not a single country. When it comes to that.. i dont think so... :thinking: you cant compare... And, I know... my mistake..

I'm sorry, but did you just compare being blind to being black? What a fucking ridiculous thing to say, really.
August 13, 200916 yr I'm sorry, but did you just compare being blind to being black? What a fucking ridiculous thing to say, really. Yeah,it's as if she is saying being black or blind are both handicaps.
August 13, 200916 yr Yeah,it's as if she is saying being black or blind are both handicaps. Not only that though, but blind people weren't made slaves and discriminated against were they? They don't have the history of hatred aimed towards them, they don't have the discrimination, fucking stupid I dunno Ivet, what is up with my sig?
August 13, 200916 yr I'm sorry, but did you just compare being blind to being black? What a fucking ridiculous thing to say, really. don't we have broke those judgamental chains we had? then why there can't be a president with some handicap? are they less person and less prepared just for that? is the same, don't black people were considered as inferior to the rest (white) just because of the colour of their skin?... it shouldn't mix with what that person is and how well prepare they are. if we think someone should or shouldn't be a president judging by their looks, then why we won't vote supermodels instead of current politicians? people should care of how well prepared they are or not (or how less liar they are), and not judge by other less important things. (and i won't keep that battle going).
August 13, 200916 yr Not only that though, but blind people weren't made slaves and discriminated against were they? They don't have the history of hatred aimed towards them, they don't have the discrimination, fucking stupid I dunno Ivet, what is up with my sig? Ah yeah,that's a good point there!!
August 13, 200916 yr Mishelle, you just learned something 90% of Americans don't know, congrats. I've been telling people this for a long time. If he weren't a smooth talking black guy, he wouldn't have been elected.

August 13, 200916 yr I dunno Nathan dear, that's why I'm asking. It's really ghet-to... J Dilla >^∞ you
August 13, 200916 yr if it didn't have the title i would've thought it was 50 Cent... doesn't have enough "ice" on his neck though.
August 13, 200916 yr Mishelle, you just learned something 90% of Americans don't know, congrats. I've been telling people this for a long time. If he weren't a smooth talking black guy, he wouldn't have been elected. I was surprised when he actually started pressing healthcare reform like he said he would, I just assumed he was a robot going "change... change... change" over and over and wouldn't do jackshit in office. But I agree, if he hadn't gone "change... change... change" he wouldn't've gotten elected.
August 13, 200916 yr Yeah well, 50 cent is a talentless piece of shit, J Dilla is a genius. They don't even do the same kind of thing.
August 13, 200916 yr When it comes to that.. i dont think so... :thinking: you cant compare... And, I know... my mistake.. magic magic the post has been edited. :rolleyes: don't you were debating if it was a racist comment of your friend? clearly is a racist comment what he said.
August 13, 200916 yr Author magic magic the post has been edited. :rolleyes: don't you were debating if it was a racist comment of your friend? clearly is a racist comment what he said. Of course... I underlined a part of your post... noticed?
August 13, 200916 yr Is it just me or do any of you people feel that minorities are going to dominate the office of the presidency for a while now? Next president's probably going to be a woman, after that probably a latino, then asians will want a shot. (This is all assuming America lasts another 20 years)
