I found out where the racial divide came from

[Bawanna]

I think a lot of it is because so many have raved about how wonderful it is to have a "black" president. I myself am completely color blind. Tyranny doesn't have a color.

Todays Bingo of the day goes to deadeye.

I can't find a single person that voted for him that will admit it now, well actually that's not true. I found 3 that admitted it proudly. But I don't know how many people have suggested that if we didnt' elect him the whole country would be considered racist!

I know a friend of my wife's who refused to vote for Bush II because she thought his eyes were too close together, I'm serious as a heart attack here, that was her true thinking and she couldn't be converted.

I think a positive IQ, proof of employment, and no record of living off the government teet for more than say a year should be required to vote.

I too really am color blind but I can spot a moron from quite a ways off.

Socially, there has always been division between to 2 races in America, to greater or lesser degrees at different points in time. Most evident in the south, but also seen in northern states. Many whites just have a problem accepting blacks as their equal. Lately blacks haven't helped this image, with the emergence of the Rap and Gang culture, ebonics, and mindless violence. Then you have people like no so Sharpton, and Jesse Jr. who make their living from stirring up racial divisions. Welfare and other social programs helped to decimate the black family unit, giving us todays culture of baby-daddys and baby-mamas. Also many blacks are always going to think that the white man owes them something over slavery, so they will gladly sit on their butts and collect those govt. checks. Not that collecting govt. checks is limited to blacks. Then there is the general lack of jobs affecting everyone, but hitting uneducated blacks the hardest. The education system doesn't help, they just pass everyone on to the next grade, qualified or not. Can't hurt the kid's self esteem. Kids don't want to learn anyway, since they all going to be rap or music stars, or big time gangstas, or pro ball players. And of course kicking God out of the classroom doesn't help them learn any moral values, now it's all "if it feels right do it". And you have many that use their skin color as an excuse for their failures in life.

As far as blacks leaving the Republican Party, there are several reason. Part of it has to do with Republicans seeking Southern Democrat, or Dixiecrat votes. Some has to do with Republicans taking the black vote for granted. Some has to do with the policies of Goldwater when he got the Republican nomination for the Presidential Election in 68. Some has to do with policies during the depression. There are other reasons these are a few of the biggest.

Hussein Obama is a Bi Racial Racist Muslim pretending to be a Black Man pretending to be an American Citizen pretending to be a Christian who for a short time pretended to be a US Senator and now is pretending to be President of the United States.....Funny thing is how many people he's been able to fool for this long and how many people still think he's God....

Well put.

We call him a mulatto. His children are quadroons.

The term mulatto also refers to the offspring of a horse and donkey, which we shorten to mule.
The term quadroon was formerly used to signify a rather dull witted individual.

Taken a step further, I suppose you could use the horse-donkey mix as an analogy to say the President is half assed!
