Whoa, where'd that come from?

I was using the link you provided.

THen address the observations of the link I provided. How a president can address ALL BLACK Americans and telling them he needs them as blacks to continue his fight. Ya think any other president could get away with rallying whites only to his cause and to encourage whites to keep fighting......for anything

The link provides the answer.  Underemployment of blacks, motivate yourself to fight for jobs and the jobs bill.

Obviously, if they find jobs it's a terrible thing for the economy?

Are you suggesting the president thinks an unemployed white person is somehow any less tragic than an unemployed black person? Shouldn't  ALL Americans that do not have jobs be an issue, or just black Americans?


oh and you forgot to answer this

Ya think any other president could get away with rallying whites only to his cause and to encourage whites to keep fighting......for anything

Okay, so the guy goes out and says "quit bitching and get out there and work"...

...and that's racist because they are all black?

...and he's doing it to support the jobs bill for all americans...and that's racist?



This is off topic anyway

Not racist if working within the rules of LSO's.

Highlighting again you inability to understand these groups have rules governing their behavior.

Highlighting the same answer from page 5...

So you maintain that a whites only group within our govt. that champions whites only issues, would not be considered racist....Well so much for "realities". moving on Pug.

"Some of these folks in Congress would love to see us as second-class citizens. Some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me ... hanging on a tree," Carson said, according to the audio."


Now here we have a member of the Congressional BLACK Caucus calling the tea party racist, and not only that, but goes as far to claim that the tea party wants to see blacks hanging from a tree..

First of all, if there is any racism here it is the existence of the Congressional BLACK Caucus in the first place.


"And earlier Wednesday, Jason Tomsci, a Carson aide, said the congressman's sentiments were valid. “Members of the tea party are holding up a lot of things that the president wants to do and want to gut critical services and programs that they know are important to African Americans as well as Latinos and other minorities," Tomsci said." 

Secondly, to concern yourself with issues relating to ONLY minorities and not all Americans is also racist.

Unless of course a white congressman can come out and say he champions issues that only concern white people. I guess that would be racist huh?

That's funny because I know I tea party member who happens to be black. Some people are ridiculous.

Yeah well, that irony of a blacks only organization within our govt. accusing others of congress of being racist because they belong to the tea party is the what I have been addressing and what everyone else chooses to ignore, dismiss or deflect.

Nope you have committed to answering questions that were never asked of you. Try answering the ones that were directly asked.

and what would yours or the NAACP's or the CBC's, or Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson, or Maxine Waters or blacks in general "interpretation" be of a whites only group within our govt. that champions whites only issues.

My opinions are directed toward double standards ( ya know, the issue you refuse to address), among races, NOT race itself.


and as I said, you would make a great politician with your bullshit.

Holy Fuck!! Now quoting the president just as he spoke is now considered racist!

Imagine that, the president speaking only to blacks at a racist organization's function is not what is racist, the reporter that quoted him is, for not cleaning up what the president said.

but you're right Pug, no way would a whites only organization championing whites only issues, be considered racist.
