BTW, did you know Obama was Black?
 
Its amazing, he just said so today that he doesnt look like other Pres
candidates. How could we have missed it.

He's half black and half white. How can he claim exclusive identity with
just one race?

Tiger woods is more asian than black.

He can claim anything he wants. Doesn't make it true. Its not hard to
find several mutual exclusive remarks that have dripped from his lips.
He told one reporter that his remarks are just political rhetoric and he
doesn't really mean what he says. Nice huh. So now we have a guy that
has no accomplishments to speak of and we can't trust what he says when
he speaks his mind. This guy would make a great used car salesman or
assistant preacher for the good reverend Wright.

Are you forgetting the "one drop rule"? Or just this country's racist
past?

Do you still hold to that? Most thinking people today don't.

Bertie is part and parcel of this country's racism, as is Herring, if
you haven't noticed. When he was working as a substitute teacher,
Herring made all manner of disparaging remarks about the blacks in his
classroom, and until he began getting called out on it, he made all
sorts of disparaging remarks about the Latinos living down the street
from him.

So I suppose the inheritors of the GOP southern strategy are not
thinking people, eh?

BTW, do you know how many black delegates there were at the GOP convention?

The GOP is the party of white people.

To me people are people. I don't classify them by their skin color and
it has been proved that blood is blood regardless of the skin color of
the body the blood came from.

I wasn't being accusatory. I was just stating, historically, if you had
one drop of black blood, you were considered black. The remnants of Jim
Crow is still alive and well in this country.
