by bigdaddy5
Bigdaddy5 is starting a new "PEOPLE'S PARTY",this party requires you to first pledge to look at a person for what they say and do and not look at ther color!Any takers?

Seems to me that the only person here who is obsessed with color is YOU, Big D.......

And what are you griping about?? Obama pretty much has the dem nomination.

Ironically, bigotdaddy, you do not apply for your own party. You frequently judge people based on their race (and religion, you anti-Semitic bastard).

Hurricane I have tried to be nice to your young inexperienced ASS so let me say this as best aa I can without being crued "KISS MY SWEET BLACK ASS"

You insult me, yet you don't try to disprove my statement. That's because you know I'm right - you are a racist.

I'm with Hrothgar....what are you griping about? If color was such an issue, then Obama wouldn't still be in this race...
Re: NEW AMERICA
by Hrothgar

Once again, Big D, the only "Bitter Folk" here is Y-O-U.

Since you think I don't "get it", perhaps you'd be kind enough to explain "it" to this poor, un-edju-ma-ka-ted whitey-honkey cracker boy?

I'll be sitting here, waiting for your enlightened response, clinging to my religion and my gun, showing antipathy for people who don't look like me.......

Makes no sense.
by Hrothgar

Obama, a Black American, all but has the dem nomination wrapped up.

Why then, is Big Daddy so angry? You'd think he'd be happy! Looking to the future! Full of promise!

Could it be that, if Obama, a Black American, a minority, just happens to win, then all notions/claims of America being a racist nation towards Blacks goes flying out the window? Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Big D have less to complain about?

Really too simplistic to say that BD is angry over the possible prospect of having nothing more to bitch about.

I never saw Jim Crow's obituary anywhere, and racism is not dead in America. I even have to occasionally hear it from my wife, at which times I uncharacteristically chew her ass out royally.

To say that a black man running for office in a country where white peckerheads still have the majority of the population will not encounter racial bias is a bit of a stretch. Obama will not get many votes simply for no other reason than he is black.

Especially in the South and so-called red states.

This is just a sad fact of life.

I have said before, and I think BD would bear me out on this, that there is a different mindset in the black community than in the white one. This is only inevitable, given our nation's history on race relations.

I will endeavor to make no value judgement here, but there is a very fundamental difference in attitudes here, and this is something that only time will change.

If it ever does change.

BigDaddy, for years you make everything a color/race issue and you have some nerve to say WE should take a pledge to judge a person on what they say and do and not their color.

As others have said, why don't you take that pledge? For once, put your money where your mouth is!

He's never going to do it, Anthony. In fact, he'll probably have the gall to call you a racist for pointing out his hypocrisy.

Re: NEW AMERICA
by AnthonyEditor
Hurricane, you're probably right. Or he'll do what he normally does when someone points out a truthful fault in one of his postings: Either sidestep it and talk about something else or just ignore it. Maybe he can take a pledge of directly responding to people too.

Thank you Rob for speaking with such eloquence and reason. The world is not black and white but thinking is so much easier by just drawing lines and squawking about the guys that are on the other side. I am glad we had , have the United Nations. I am glad that my country has been made up of many nationalities , colors and food s. What a wonderful diverse accumulaton of people and ideas. and foods. I really have got to work on that diet.
Re: NEW AMERICA

You might not need to worry about the diet.

With gas and food prices on the rise, the body fat reserve may be a blessing is disguise.

I agree that diversity makes us a stronger people. but it would also seem to be a frequent source of controversy. Ah well, at least it keeps life from becoming too boring.

Maybe BD should start a tourist resort in the 'Hood for Whitey. With all the standard ghetto amenities. Let them come in for a week (instead of just driving through with windows rolled up) to get a first-hand taste of how the other half lives, so to speak.

Assuming that the tourist types survived the experience (make them sign liability waivers, BD), they might come away with a different understanding of the situation.

It really is a different world, and for many, would probably be the education of a lifetime.
