KKK endorses McCain: "A black President would go against just about everything we stand for"

You're very welcome. I can also predict the future too, but for that, I need payment upfront.

based on your psychological talents, I would keep my day job if I was you.

That's the only reason why I think America can't be run by Obama. All won't respect him because of color. If he starts special groups for African Americans it will cause alot of retaliation and outbreaks. Scary what this world has come to.

Wow. Unbelievably ignorant answer, dude! Definitively so, eh? The sole reason why he can't "run" the government. Because "all won't respect him". When was the last time a sitting president was respected by "all"?

Your right. Proof of that is the reelection of a scum bag like Marion Barry. This is what I love about America. How certain races, well one in particular actually, has no problem voting in a thug like Marion Barry again, because of the color of his skin, but whenever anyone addresses race that is white, then they are ignorant, bigot, racist etc etc etc etc...

Scope, my girlie. Scope. You're missing it; and, telling from your response and spelling, I don't blame you for not getting it. Not only are you showing your bigoted colours, lassie, you can't seem to get past the fact that, if you can look past the race issue... and with respect to public morality, Marion Barry and Barack Obama have little or nothing in common.

Like I said... I don't blame you for being ignorant.

Is that supposed to bother me? "Oh no! Someone I don't know, will likely never meet and whose opinion means nothing to me has insulted me on a message board!" Whatever shall I do?

yes, it should bother you to your core. It should bother you so much you won't be able to sleep, EVER!

kinda like calling boo-yah a girl when boo-yah is a guy?

You have to admit - the comparison between those two organisations was trite and a glaring example of PC relativism.

[Sheriff Uling 3]

Can you blame their logic though?

Haha. Exactly. Does the NAACP endorse whites?

Eventhough the NAACP is not a hate group, Lucky is absolutely correct. I don't ever remember hearing/reading about the NAACP endorsing whites.

The NAACP routinely endorses (mostly) Democratic candidates - usually white, since black candidates usually don't exist in every race.

IMO the NAACP has supported the Democratic Party. Therefore, the NAACP’s support of whites has been due to political pandering by both the white candidates and the NAACP (of course, not in all cases, but I have not viewed their support of white candidates as genuine).

Not really - only if you compare today's NAACP and the pre-1970 KKK.

The modern-day Klan is not about vigilante violence or lynching.

It's the same thing with "white pride" - there's nothing wrong with the idea per se,

but people can't see past the label and the horrific past events associated with it.

You might have some excellent points and maybe you're very intelligent and well versed on this subject; however, you won't reach anyone by insulting them.

you mistake me for someone who was trying to reach them.

So in other words, you were merely attempting to flaunt you "superior knowledge" while acting exceptionally rude.

nope, in other words I didn't give a rat's a_s_s if they are reached or not.

Why do you care so much?

To be honest, I don't really care. I'm just have a difficult time understanding why you would go to the trouble of replying to someone else if you didn't at least have some objective a bit more noteworthy than "Look at me! Look at me! I'm so smart and you're so dumb!"

I think its more important to look at the opposite... not why one is smarter than another but rather why another acts like a buffoon aka foolish if not really in the know as to a particular issue.

I never endorsed the KKK or any such organization through any of my comments. People like the KKK $hitbags of yesteryear should have all been tortured then killed...that's my opinion on them. Any white supremacists of today who promote the same hatred should get the same treatment.

My unpopular opinion, however, is that I'm tired of hearing that it's white peoples' fault that black people have it so bad. In this day and age in the US, anybody who wants to succeed can succeed. Yes, some may have a tougher path to a good life (father who walked out, raised in a poor neighborhood, surrounded by drugs, etc.), but the opportunity is there. In the end, every person is responsible for their own actions and their own life. If you sit around and complain all the time, you may feel good about yourself for getting your opinion out there. But at the end of the day, complaining doesn't pay the bills and it doesn't take care of your family. There are plenty of opportunities to succeed and do the right thing here in the US. Anyone with the drive and determination and the willingness to push away negative influences can succeed. Nearly everyone in this country knows the difference between right and wrong. The haves and have nots are usually separated by their decisions and drive to succeed.

I dated a few black women before I met my wife. One thing I came to realize, after all the conversations that I overheard between the friends and family of the women I dated, is that none of them could have a conversation amongst themselves without making at least one or two generalizations about different races. This was nearly EVERY conversation! They don't want color of skin to be important, but they couldn't stop talking about it. If I had a dollar for every time I heard phrases like "You know how white people are", "All white people...", "Man, white people crack me up...", "Man, white people are so dumb....", "I can't stand white people...", "Why the hell is she wit' a white dude?".......... This is personal experience. If you want to say I'm racist for bringing it up, that's your decision. Another thing that amazes me is how many of these women's friends and family I heard blaming other people for their own decisions and situations. After a while, it got really old. All different kinds of people from all different races do it, but it amazed me how many of the black people I met did it and how often they did it. My friends and family and I had spent all our lives never paying attention to anyone's race, so it was a bit of a shock. I grew up never paying really any attention to race because it didn't matter to me what color someone was. If they were a good person, I'd hang out with them. If they were bitter, I'd go my separate way and let them continue to be miserable whether they were white, black, Hispanic, Asian, etc., etc. One thing I got out of my experience of "going black" is that a vast majority of blacks that I came in contact with don't want anything to do with whites and are disgusted by white people. If they don't want anything to do with me, that's their decision and I'm not going to waste one breath trying to change them. Notice I didn't say all blacks though. There are plenty of quality black people out there who aren't racist. They are the people I choose to associate with. There are definitely some whites out there who think the same way about blacks, but I don't associate myself with them. White or black, if you're a miserable person, you're a miserable PERSON. Maybe blacks have good reason to be upset with some white people. I've never been black, so I haven't experienced some of the things they maybe have. But if a black person is racist, it's not because of anything I've ever done to them. That's what I really don't get...I've heard a lot personally about how evil I am because I'm white, and I've heard a lot of the victim "poor me" being thrown out there. I haven't experienced what they have, but in my life race has never meant anything other than the color of one's skin. I don't get how it can dominate someone's life like it does to so many of the black people I've met. If you take a look at the black people who are happy, they're not the ones consumed by racial issues and living on the victim mentality. The happiest black people are the ones who have decided to grab life by the balls and live life to the fullest. They take responsibility, contribute, and ignore the color of people's skin. Same thing goes for white people. I think you'll generally find that white supremacists are probably really miserable people. One of my best friends, who is black, will tell you without hesitation that black people are WAYYYYYYY more racist than white people.

But, Maybe they should consider a name change...I'm thinking NAAWP! :lol:

Good for your personal experiences. Seem that there are lots of personal experiences here in OT along the same lines.

All you gotta do is put things into the proper context and not assume anything until you actually have enough to base an actual argument upon- not conjecture based on limited life experiences. I think at this point merging to the personal expertise thread could be OK as well.

How many personal experiences do you need to "base an actual argument" on?

"Lots" is clearly not enough.
