Obama's opinion on Kanye West

[Fukinitupagain]

Also, I think there is a difference between thinking your race is superior to others and simply working towards leveling the playing field for a race that has historically been ostracized, beaten, murdered and forced into slavery.

Are you talking about the Irish? Maybe the American Indians? It was the indigenous people of South America, right? The Indians?... Everyone's been beaten up & takin advantage of at some point so either go back to commenting on Obama calling Kanye the jackass he is or shut up in this thread & make a new thread about your views on race/politics in this country. Either way people need to keep their personal sh!t to PM's & don't comment on political & social propoganda when all we are trying to do is have a laugh at a funny statement.

"Colored"!?!?! Seriously? Does your pathfinder make it up to 88mph so you travel back to the 50's and use that term?

 

88mph? Sh!t no. 75 was scary enough for me.

Sorry, It was a Back to the Future reference.

I didn't make this @!*% up dog, chill out. I didn't start it I was simply replying to something within this thread. Sorry I blew your mind with my infinite wisdom. I do appreciate you obviously skipping straight to my post and not reading anything before mine.

 

" Interesting I would have thought Obama would have backed Kayne like he did Michael Jordan and that black professor. It wouldn't be the first time Obama had played the race card. Seems like theres a lot of colored celebrities doing rebellious attention-getting things lately (Serena Williams). Enough is enough of this white guilt bull@!*%."

 

"hmm.. i think you're seeing something that isn't there.. hatred can be so powerful. good luck with that."

 

"No hatred here, just objective observation.

From Dreams of My Father: "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

From Dreams of My Father: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

From Dreams of My Father: "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."

From Dreams of My Father: ; "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

From Dreams of My Father: "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela."

From Dreams of My Father: "The emotions between the races could never be pure; even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart."

Response to a quote: "The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person..."

From Dreams of My Father: "That’s just how white folks will do you."

Campaign: "Earlier in my college career, there was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the Black community I was somehow obligated to this community and would utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost."

 

"for one, i have not read his book. for two, quotes are out of context. for three, he was raised in America.

 

out of all your quotes just 2 or 3 could be construed as racist without further text. "

 

"Racism by definition is simply cultivating the view that a certain race is superior to others. By that definition I would say all the quotes are racist, regardless of context. Plus I think he was raised in Hawaii; not really representative of mainstream US public opinion at the time."
