These people need to stop mau-mauing for some white guilt trip payback and direct their energy towards reparation of the black family. When illegitimacy rates are around 70% NO amount of money spent on programs will stop the downward slide. Like some pathetic cargo cult, the reparations movement is looking for something that will never, ever come to pass.

...AND...

WE see the "Barack insane Obama" bigots think they don't need the welfare Hillbillies, Hick's, Rednecks, Crackers, Briars, and the NASCAR Crowd for votes and Now poor white Trailer Trash People, Muslim Women that must sit in the back of the bus and Rev. Manning and Jesse Jackson's Klan, and the Military vote... LMFAO!!!

AND NOW... Native and Black Reparations and more Racial Divide, to buy votes with your money!

Obama's "Hope and Polarizing Change"... Larry Sinclair, Rev. Manning, Jesse Jackson, Uncle wRight, the Clintons, disrespected Muslim and Hillary women, snubbed soldiers, Christian voters, and millions of White Road Kill voters. Two States of disenfranchised Florida and Michigan votes and 13 million Ostracized registered Democrat Appalachian voters the Obama Bigots call Racists and Common Sense Democrat voters who can't believe, thrown under Obama's skanky bus that... "WILL VOTE HILLARY 08"...

The Polls of Hope are never Honest or wRight... Polls of Hope ARE for the "Hopelessly Obama enslaved"...

Obama states that he is against reparations and is for improving education and improving the schools. Help me out here. What good does it do to continue to pour money into a school system that is totally broken? The teachers want hazardous duty and combat pay just for showing up. Police stations are operating within the schools just to keep the peace. Obama is totally misguided, education and discipline has to start in the home. What does he plan on doing about the single parent families where the children are totally out of control ? What are his plans for stopping Black on Black crime ? What are his plans to reduce the incarceration of young blacks (12% of the entire black population between the ages of 20-34)? What are his plans to improve the graduation rates of Blacks in the school system ?All I am hearing from Obama is a subtle accusation that the white race has not done enough for the minority population. The problem is that we as a nation are still treating the welfare people as slaves with all the welfare, and Affirmative Action programs. Welfare citizens accept the handouts and hate the majority for making it so easy for them to barely survive. Come on Obama, get some balls and start telling what it is going to take to turn your community around.

The "Hoods of Liberalism"

It seems everyone is "BLAMED" for the shambles, division and social irresponsibility of Black Society. The Inner City Hoods - Ghetto's - The Wards of New Orleans and Houston are in with its violence and families in des-Repair. MIA and AWOL Fathers, Weak Family Values, "High Black Abortion Rates", drugs, addictions, high "School Drop Out Rates", misogyny, murders Black Killing Black, and a real host of other and virulent racist problems, "EXCEPT" for black leaders, Race Cop Al Sharpton, a Fascist Farrakhan and other Bigots, like Rev wRight, Spit Ball Jesse Jackson and Whoopi Goldberg who cherish the "N-WORD" and "TERRORIZE" black & white America, engaged in this ignominious behavior and try not to change, except only to fleece, exploit and $$ profit $$ by their brainwashed, enslaved broods...

"The Racist Teachers and Keepers of Bigoted Hate"

"Liberalism" blames, offends, threatens and terrorizes America with "Aberrant Liberal Values".

The "Fascist of Liberalism"

Inner city schools are detention camps for inner city youth and their ONLY purpose is the provide fat union jobs with lavish benefits and retirements to teachers and union drones.

Again Obama is talking down to Blacks. To expect "Black Kids" who spend time in these dreadful public institutions (established by "Progressive" Liberal politicians) can't read their own diplomas, have no employable skills, speak aberrant english and most make their living by joining gangs, pursuing a life of crime, pushing drugs, prostitution and/or end up in jail or prison, enslaved by the system...

I just can't imagine black people of the Inner City Hoods - Ghetto's and Wards even trying to learn Spanish.

Change even Jesse can't believe in!

Polls of Hope are never Honest or wRight... Polls of Hope are for the "Hopelessly Obama enslaved"...

I think some idiots here need to stop with the Limbaugh talking points. "Liberalism is the devil" etc. please look at the data for yourselves it speaks volumes. Look at the poorest states in the union they are Red states. Roosevelt had to help us get out of the depression, everytime there has been real economic growth in the middle class (not corporations) check what party was in power.
Some folks have been bamboozled by conservative talk radio that you wouldnt know facts and truth even if you tried. Its unhealthy to only hear from one side. Just google and find out what party is best for the middle class or what party is the real spender and deficit lover...Find out for yourselves dont be brainwashed.

The real point is , Christina, both parties are so screwed up that neither side will admit any wrong doing, but most of these people will continue spitting up irrational justifications just to see their party win.

The illegitmacy issue is the fault of the woman. Why is she having unprotected sex with a man that already does not support his other kids? Why does she have unprotected sex with a man that has no job? Why does she have unprotected sex with so many partners that she doesn't know who is the baby's daddy?

Why are my taxes financing all of this unprotected sex? Our welfare system should have a limit on the number of kids that the taxpayers will support per claimant for benefits. After the woman reaches the limit, any future children born to her should not be the taxpayers responsibility and the mother should be rendered infertile.

According to a portion of this article: Obama stated, "If we have a program, for example, of universal health care, that will disproportionately affect people of color, because they're disproportionately uninsured," Obama said. "If we've got an agenda that says every child in America should get - should be able to go to college, regardless of income, that will disproportionately affect people of color, because it's oftentimes our children who can't afford to go to college."

There many different races of people who can't afford college...not just the black race. They blacks have MORE opportunities than other races because they ARE black. What about the United Negro College Fund? But, they ARE losing ground with regards to their minority status and they are losing it to the Hispanic population.

Health coverage? AIDS has been talked about for many years and having unprotected sex should not fall on the taxpayers when the uninsured contracts HIV/AIDS or STD's. I will acknowledge the innocent acquiring of HIV/AIDS and STD's in the cases of tranfusions or rape, but a police report of being raped must be filed and a matter of record, as well as medical records of having received a blood transfusion, prior to the date of the diagnosis.

Besides the logistical impossibility of figuring out who and who is not even eligible for reparations (my father is the descendant of slaves, my mother is the descendant of Irish immigrants, do I qualify?), I would also ask those who support reparations, what do you think this will actually do? How does a token check account for centuries of subjugation? Many large firms, and banks in particular, benefited from slavery - are they going to pay for this too?

In Texas a few years back, there was a study on attendance at the state's top public universities. The most underrepresented groups were poor urban blacks, and poor urban whites. Subsequently Texas changed its education laws with the support of urban democrats and rural republicans. Shifting policy to open opportunities to economically disadvantaged kids can absolutely be color-blind and at the same time benefit a number of historically disadvantaged groups. To me that makes more sense than arbitrarily deciding who has been a "victim" and cutting a one-time check.

I honestly believe that the so-called Negro, must become conscious. We are in a dreamworld state of extistence where we are happy to be led where others "decide" that they want to take us. I remember when all our people wanted to do was to make the race look good. We wanted to shine for each other! Now since we have assimilated into Euro-American culture and values, we have become spiritually, morally, and consciously dead. The walking-dead, devoid of self-knowledge, and it is our fault! We are the ones who became comfortable with bullshit tokens. We can change it if we want to change it! Sen. Barack Obama is one man, to put the entire weight of a race of people on his back is unjust. We must help the man, by helping ourselves. Let's get back to the consciousness of our ancestors. Every last one of us have an role-model in our families that cut through the distortions of miseducation to pave the way foward. That is why we are here today! Our grandparents who bought homes, and raised families on an inkling of what we earn today! We've got to make some sacrifices, we've got to give up this European materialism, and get back to what is real, what is right. What we know we have to do! We have become more and more unconscious in our dealings with each other, that is the only thing that has changed. Whites have not changed their attitudes toward us, to them we are something to be "tolerated". We have stopped loving each other, and have become unconscious. For this sin, we have become a dying race of people. Can we stop the bleeding? Will we stop the bleeding? Will we begin to love each other again, and lift ourselves upto consciousness? It is up to us.

Only an idiot would think this country owes them anything- You should only get out of it what you put in it, and for our welfare society people that means nothing.

If you don't like it here- theres always a shack for rent in Africa- or check out some other great places to stay like Haiti- Dominican Republic- China

If you aint bustin' your chops on the job then the only thing owed you is minimum wage for minimal work ethics

Obama for decades has favored reparations. In 2007 he endorsed a 20-year incumbent who spent her whole career as a representative spewing venom about what whites owe blacks. A fellow representaive on the same Chicago Council said, "forget the mule, I want 40 acres and a Lexus"
Obama used his (half) black credentials to become a community organizer in southside Chicago

"Webster": community organizer - a race-baiter who prospers by keeping a segment of the population oppressed while pretending to lift them up; arousing racial anxieties to better one's position. See also Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright, NAACP, Louis Fara...(hell, even Daniel Webster can't spell everything)

Whitey, kiss your a$$ goodbye if Obama wins ... and Ludicrus paints the White House black
