Obama’s Senate Seat Is For Blacks Only…

A long time ago in this country there were truly disgusting practices that involved our society having whites only lunch counters, drinking fountains and seating on buses. The signs that read “Whites Only” reflect a particularly bad time i…

It would appear, Laura Washington, is a racist. No, wait, just ignore the first three words of this comment.

Blacks say we should follow MLK’s dream and judge people on content of character, not color. But, it seems blacks such as Laura Washington are the first to decry racism and want to use their color for leverage. Can’t have it both ways! This country will never get past racism if people like Ms. Washington keep churning it up.

This IS about the continued balkanization of American poloitics by a radical portion of the population that make an extremely large amount of money. This money is made by victimisation and dis-empowerment of the people within their own ethnic ranks. Think for a moment how foul that is. It puts everyone involved into false archetypes. I can guarantee that the fear that these people feel colors every thing that they think or feel with false facts and outright lying to support their skewed view on life. these kinds of people are to be pitied not published.

The question has been asked a million times and I’ll ask it again. What would the outcry be if an official deemed that a “white” seat?

How long do we whites have to sit around and be bullied by blacks? I’m tired of it and I want to start seeing some reparations. It’s time to give back to the white man. We built this great country and it is being stolen by the black man. I want some free money, maybe a casino for my people and freedom from being disparaged for the color of my skin.

I am African-American, but I don’t vote because of color. Just like I wouldn’t want some other person not to vote for Obama just because he is black. I didn’t vote for Obama because I don’t agree with his socialist or moral ideas. I am no longer a resident of Chicago, but as an former employee of the Chicago Park District. I would vote for Claypool. He was a great leader when he was my boss. He would definitely not stand for corruption!
Just my thoughts.

Why would a faction with less than 15% of the population be in favor of a fair and free vote? I feel Laura Washington and the clergymen deserved an Orwell award for their contribution to the perversion of the word “racism.” http://fishwrangler.blogspot.com/2008/12/another-orwell-award-winner.html
