Obama: I'm Sorry Americans are LOSING Insurance

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Yes, African-American implies he is less than 100% American. We agree on that one.

Thank you. You get it..All I am saying is you can't think one is ok but the other is not.

They are basically the same thing

We should all be simply American

People who support the whole African-American ####### are just as guilty

They will spring up and you will be the flag bearer

That's a stupid thing to say even for you.

I have never used the misnomer African-American when referring to a black person.

There will be no birther movement surrounding Ted Cruz. Everyone knows he was born in another country, but his mother's American, so that's the end of that story.

Yet someone else whose mother is American but was born in THIS country... is still thought to be a foreigner who shouldn't be President.

Boggles the mind how that kind of "logic" works.

Doesn't boggle the mind at all. One of the two is black and the other is not. Thus one is subject to birtherism and the other is not. That's how that works.The birthers are racists. Plain and simple.

But people keep telling me that they're just talking about his heritage and it shouldn't be offensive!

Those people are either kidding themselves, or they are delusional or stupid or any combination of the three.

I have met black persons who tried to 'correct' me and reminded me they were African-Americans, but they fell short of convincing me of their argument when I asked them to name three countries in Africa, or point to Africa in a world map, or tell me in which African language they are fluent.

People? What? Not 'The People' again.

When I use the label, I want people to find it offensive. If it happens, then great ! If it doesn't happen, well, poo, I've missed an opportunity for stirring the pot.

Well, you're a troll, so that makes sense.

I disagree. Teddie has p|ssed off many Texans during his first 7 months in office, and it takes time for those fellas to get going with the retribution and revenge.

So, give it a bit o time, watch this space for more updates, remembering that there are many Texans who'll get to Teddie inspite of their lack of The Twitter and other internet resources.

OK ? OK !

1) That's my point. Thanks.

2) Definition of Shrew = "A woman with a violent, scolding, or nagging temperament; a scold." I decided to word associate after I watched her Benghazi testimony. BUT...you may be right...I try to advance my behavior & unlearn some of the negative lessons I was taught ...here & there...I will give it some thought & modify if I conclude it is "negative sexism" or "degrading sexism". In other words - IMO - sexism is reality in many ways - but, when sexism is used to degrade women or a woman = that's wrong. I will give it some thought. Thanks for expressing your observation.

In relation to posters calling Obama 'the Kenyan' I don't see how it is the same. If someone else were writing in on behalf of the posters? But that isn't what's happening is it?

If you disagree with Clinton politically that's fine, call her what you like. Of course if those names take the form of sexist language (the English language is inherently biased against women) and a focus on her looks and sex life, that is clearly sexist.
