Too bad rednecks don't have a think tank, it would be an excellent source for getting that data.

Independent thought :biglaugh: All Rush or Hannity has to do is call Obama Mesiah and the next day the internet lights up with that name.

Google threats against Obama - over 5,500,000.

Theres a few for you but since they are from various media sources your going to come back and say its the "liberal" media.

I guess Lincoln might have had more people wish him dead.

The nerve of Obama to run for Pres. He's uppity ;)

Oh great, now the pot has offended the kettle. What kind of world do we live in when even kitchen items are judged unfairly by one another based on the color of their outsides? Isn't it what's on the inside of the kettle that really matters?

For the record, I really like kettle corn.

poor jimmy
 
why bother arguing with Jimmy. He doesn't believe there are real people who still consider blacks second class citizens. Or he believes that there are more black racist than white ones. or he believes that you can't believe anything because some "liberal" might have made it up. Jimmy also believes he's an "independent", not a republican. So is Joe Lieberman. Joe turns his head to the right, he can just make out Jimmy in the distance:doh:

wrong, I believe that there are people that believe blacks are second class citizens. I also believe they have a right to believe that. Its not illegal to be racist. I also know that more than half the country voted for a black man.
I absoultely do agree that there are more black racists than white ones. How can you are argue there are not? There are more black only churches, black only television stations and black only magazines. Culturally, it appears that blacks seek segregation more than whites.
An once again, I'll challenge you to define what makes me to the right of Liberman? Is it my disdain for organized religion, my support of gay rights? My lifelong involvement at many levels with other races?

It is you my friend that only thinks what your political party does.

you can also take that in another direction too....try opening up a Male Only anything....yet there are Women Only gyms everywhere.

A lot of times the only reason its a Racist/Sexist issue is because of the person screaming it.

I remember having an argument with my sister-in-law about the fact that her company just hired a guy doing the same thing as her for more money.

I said it was business not sexism....she'd been there like 7 years getting standard cost of living increases.....while the job market was dictaing over the years that this person should be making this much. Thats why he got more.

She said then why don't they raise her pay....I said thats not what a business does...if you want salary increases you need to be willing to walk.....she didn't buy it and claimed it was sexist.....so is it?...or is it just business.

if a (enter race here) guy gets fired is it racist...or is it because he was always late/sick.....or his numbers down? If he claims its a race issue....then it sends up a red flag and is now a race issue.....even though it was a performance issue....seen that happen a few times.

Can't always just say the White Males are the problem......it exists in ALL walks of life.

Well said TDF. I think we will have a few case studies coming up at the end of the NFL season that will mirror very closely the discussion at hand. It appears that:

1. Romeo Crennel
2. Marvin Lewis
3. Herm Edwards

All three african american, all three may be on the chopping block after this season. Edwards and Lewis are a combined 3-19 and Crennel has apparently "lost" the team. If all three are fired (because they suck) I am really interested in seeing what the black community will say. There has historically been a knee-jerk "racism" reaction. Does anybody think that America electing Barak Obama will lessen some of the blow? Should it? What say you?

The Dad Fisherman 12-04-2008 12:27 PM

There in lies the problem.....it should only matter to them, nobody else. if they come out and say we got fired because we suck.....that should be the end of it.

you know what 2 chuckleheads will turn it into a race thing....
