Barack Obama says, "...typical white person."

We should stick to getting drunk, fighting, and impregnating our wives.

My ex-wife rarely drank, was a workaholic, and didn't have much of a temper.

I do drink too much. But I work around 10 hours per day and don't have much of a temper.

compared to the current temporary occupant of the white house and the news media already elected slum lord lawyer mouth piece obama....hell yes! CP would be a distinct improvment!!

What is his government CV? What impression would a typical American D) that takes an active interest in politics and what not have of Powell? Has he had significant public roles for people to have an idea of his politics, ethics, beliefs etc?

My people were enslaved by the Roman Empire. I want reparations.

As were mine, We should petition the Italian Government.

This doesn't really make sense.

It's a racial issue, not a cultural one. Blacks are a minority race of society. Irish (being white) are not. So the fact that Irish don't whine like blacks has little bearing unless they were in the minority like blacks, or instead of blacks.

It is a cultural issue. The Chinese don't dwell on the past and bitch about it. I don't see blacks from the islands or Africa bitching. It's the African American culture, not the color of the person. Being mistreated is being mistreated. Everyone has to put the past behind them and move on. Otherwise you just stay in the same shitty situation.

Back when I was attending Ohio State there was a huge brawl in the minority student union because the African-Americans wanted to take more space from the Native Americans because their suffering was greater and they had more to overcome. You also don't see latinos playing the race card in the same African Americans do it. They don't seem to have a hispanic Al Sharpton.

Bullshit. The African-Americans never had a whole continent taken away from them.

A lot of folks around here are jumping on the bandwagon that he is unqualified, racist, etc. I don't agree with that, and I am picking apart those arguments.

I have not changed my political stripes but if Barack Obama keeps Hillary from getting the nom he will be one of my heroes for life.

I think he is unqualified, and I think he's more liberal than Hillary. You obviously do not agree?
