"I was surprised to hear him make a comment like that, because I thought he understood our people better," said Wider, who said she will vote for Obama in Saturday's South Carolina primary.
Our people?
Is that the same as "those people?"
If blacks insist on thinking of themselves as apart then others will think of them that way too.
The liberal game of playing the race card against conservatives has backfired on them in this election that pits liberal against liberal.

Not to worry - they are a separate race and will continue to be a separate race. They have different values, different genetic predisposition's and will always feel apart. Look to Africa to see the evolution of "black" politics. Somewhat different than in our country.

If you read Dr. King, and his feelings toward Israel and the separate Jewish state, you realize that he felt a separate black state or country would allow the black race to shine and show the whole world how it is to be done.

Blacks get insulted about everything. They make everything a racial issue but then you have these rappers call each other names and it's fine for them. If they do it, it's ok, if someone else does it, you have Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, Oprah, Jesse Jr. and the entire black community start complaining. That's how they are and how they will always be. Do you want a black as President? I don't think so, not with the history they have. No Thanks.

Actually the comment that seems to get the most bad response is the "fairy tale" comment. Which was meant to imply that Obama flip flopped on his opinion on the war. Why that is making a big deal in the black community is not because of the intended meaning, but the use of the term "fairy", and shows the black community's homophobia.

Blacks? I thought that because they were endangered and it had been proven that they were killing themselves off because they can't even stand thenselves, they weren't even a real consideration? Oh well I guess even these animals have a right to be given a chance to fail otherwise they would cry for another 500 hundred years that they can't do anything because they were slaves. God knows that has gotten old and yet they continue to prove they are worthless and unable of helpind themselves unless of course they can jump high and or run fast. Then again those few have proven to not be able to escape their maternal instincts to be failures. How depressing and what a waste of space and oxygen.

Obama says he wants to UNITE our country around our common values: Equality, Justice, and Liberty for ALL.
Obviously, the Clintons are great dividers.

United we stand, divided we fall. That's how "they" -- self-centered politicians and their rich corporate lobbyist freinds -- keep us ALL down by DIVIDING us.

Democracy is NOT something done TO us. Democracy is NOT something SOMEONE ELSE DOES FOR US. Democracy is something WE DO. To make Democracy work, you MUST PARTICIPATE. You must make your voice heard at a minimum through your vote.

We must DEMAND that politicians listen to We the People. We must tell them what we want and need and then HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. If we want of, for, and by the People, we better step up.

If you don't vote, you get what you deserve. It's time to TAKE BACK OUR DEMOCRACY.

It was a nickname given to me a long time ago when I was the only woman manager of a distribution center. The mostly men: semi-truck drivers, fork lift drivers, etc. gave me that name. I was a single mom and I ran the operation like I would a home -- multiple people with multiple schedules, needs, duties, levels of ability but all important. We broke company records for timeliness, efficiency, low sick leave usage, etc. My climb up the corporate ladder and current success had a lot to do with those guys in a day when my bosses expected me to fail because I was a woman and I was young. The bosses couldn't discriminate against me based on gender, but they could set me up to fail. Those fork lift drivers and truck drivers and heavy laborers enabled me to succeed. I wear the nickname they gave me with honor.

I am all for blacks getting ahead, and doing well. But I'm also tired of being blamed as a "whitey" for every slave owner that lived 200 years ago. Blacks just need to get over it and move ON. At times they seem to bring up race more than anyone - and it's getting tiring.

And now they vote in droves for the first time, just because a black man finally arrives as a candidate. That's a bunch of bunk.

I know many black people who are great -- hard working, good people, no problem. I also know whites who are jerks. It all depends on the person.

I wish racial divides and talk would just go away. We can't do anything about the past -- it is merely history now.

Yep. When people don't have valid, factual comments to make they resort to insults.(Sort of like some politicians)

Betsy,

It's about the HUMAN race. It's about the UNITED States of America.

There are many things that we allow to divide us as a country -- socio/eoonomic differences, educational differences, regional differences, religious differences, ethnic and racial differences. But we are all citizens with shared rights and responsibilites. We must work together for the common good or we are all doomed.

Being part Native American,I understand what your saying.
If anyone has been done wrong in this country it is the Native American's.
Remember the Trail of Tear's?
I just wish we could all get along and not talk about hanging's.That's just wrong.
We are all God's children.
I am not sure who I'll vote for,but I'm sure not voting for Clinton.

Daily Horoscope for January 8

Leo

Why are you still fighting, Leo? Everyone else went home a long time ago, but you're still here pounding your fists on the table. Although you don't want to admit it, accepting defeat may be your most practical option at this point. Sometimes it's just easier to move on than to keep up the fight. When you're forced to restructure, at least you have a chance to redefine. YouÕl get the opportunity to start with a clean slate, so use it to your advantage.
