Oklahoma GOP Lawmaker: 'Blacks' Don’t Work As Hard As White People

[peejay 327]

Which white President had to prove his eligibility for office?

They all do. Not anyone can be president. The constitution spells out the eligibility requirements.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

So why is there this birther nonsense?

So why is there this birther nonsense?

Why do some people believe NASA's moonwalks were staged in a studio? Why do people believe GWB and Cheney were behind 9/11? Why do people believe FDR knew about and let the Japs attack Pearl Harbor to rouse the American public into WWII? The list goes on.

But the Left acts as if this birther nonsense is "mainstream" and that it is a Republican plot. The only people that harp on it and keep it alive is the liberal Left. As far as Trump goes...as far as I'm concerned he is a businessman with a sideline in the entertainment business. Why should the president cough up his long form birth certificate because of Trump? Why do it at all? It always was a non-issue. Most conservatives are not birthers.

The President had long met the Constitutionally prescribed eligibility requirements. You know why this is still an issue and why there are legislatures passing statutes based on this birther idiocy. You know why it happens. You don't want to say it but you know why it occurs. Because a black guy broke into the White House. That's the only reason for all this garbage.

In a still somewhat racist country, sometimes it takes some counterweight to even things out. Again, just look at this whole birther #######, the now newly inflaming debate about the whether there was any academic justification for the President to be able to attend some of the nation's finest schools. Can you sit there and tell me with a straight face that either of these debates would ever have taken place if this President was white?

He has never released his grades, and supposedly even admitted he wasn't always an academic star, so I say it's natural to question what is withheld. While you may see them as pointless drivel, each issue surrounding the president is by his own hand and refusal to release information, and not just 'cos he's black'.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

He graduated summa cum laude. That ought to be good enough, no?

Obama isn't just any black guy. His dad was a foreigner and he spent a lot of his life living outside the USA. Most Americans have no idea about citizenship requirements. A lot of Americans still believe all a foreigner has to do to become an automatic US citizen is to marry an American.

The fact is that Obama's mother was an American and it never really mattered where he was born. Children are born to American parents all over the world and they are just as "native" American as if the kid was born here in the USA.

This issue should have been cleared up a long time ago by the mainstream news media through educating the public instead of becoming the media circus it has become.

Well thats not addressing the topic of "how he got up to bat".

His home run hit of summa cum laude is secondary.

I'm not really interested but if his performance there was so grand.... why not release his papers for others to see how fairly he was judged in that regard?

If Bush was charged with getting help from Daddy, suggesting he could not do it on his own.... what is so far fetched about speculating Obama "Had a little help too"?

Where is the proof Bush got kid glove, or special treatment?

I believe Obama, from his own admission, stated he was a poor student at times.

YOu are so sure it has to do with race..... but only when it's Obama.

Got news for you Dude, it's politics and nothing more.

Affirmative action had a time and place where it was appropriate. Now is not that time anymore though.

Its such a pleasure to see you grow as a person. Its nice to know my efforts are not in vain.

I guess on this issue simple English evades you. I really wonder why. If its any indication you feel like this towards minorities as you do towards gays then we have all the ijformation we need. Let us re-phrase:

If you have been discriminated upon feel free to bring it up using anti-discrimination law. It wouldn't be the first time 'conflicting' laws were put against each other. Heck you may even have a Supreme Court case!

That is... If you have the fortitude and intelligence to prove a systematic pattern of racial discrimination against hard working whites by the status quo. You probably don't on either factor though .

You included yourself into this convo, so I'm going to take it for granted you have a clue. Please prove me correct.

You make those smart a$$ post like you don't know which direction the wind is blowing. There have been guys with family's barely getting by. They went to night school taking welding, math, and blue prints so that they could get into the union and make a better life for them and their family. They aced all the test in regards to getting into the apprenticeship yet they were totally f*cked over for the fact the union needed to make their quota.

Now I know you don't give two sh*ts about any of these guys seeing how your a racist, but these guys worked their ####### off.

[Zero Sum 305]

I do too. But a not insignificant portion of the Real American population does not.

Dear God what to do with people that have no desire to know fact.

Dude, America is still a pretty racist country. The tea baggers and more specifically the birthers bring that to light. They cannot stand the fact that black man occupies the White House. That's what all this ####### is all about. Which white President had to prove his eligibility for office?

It infuriates them more senseless than they already are. Hence its a good idea these laws stay in place. If anything jusy to make them even more upset.

Danno, you get more and more absurd with each passing day. If he did so well in school why didn't he show is papers? Are you seriously that illinformed? Are you so blinded by your partisan hackery that you didn't know that he did release them? He had to submit his birth certificate to the federal election commission. Now I wonder why you only focus on President Obama, and not McCain, who admittedly was born in a foreign country. Could it be your unabashed bigotry? Nope, I think it's more likely your partisan political ties.

Its such a pleasure to see you grow as a person. Its nice to know my efforts are not in vain.

Is this open mic night or something? When I want to learn about legos, or pokemon, I'll ask you, but for political insight, I will stick to the news.
