The real problem with Americans and their disrespect for Obama—according to a Canadian

Hey, I apologized.

Did you? Admitting you're wrong is not the same as apologizing.

you really need attention don't you

Mmmm, no. You said you'd apologized for accusing me of being a racist, but you never apologized. And now you're glossing it over.

Playing the race card as you've done has become endemic lately in the US, mainly done by folks who have no substantive arguments or who are comfortable using hateful and vitriolic rhetoric when it's not justified. This describes what you've just stooped to.

Who played the race card? Me? You're joking, right?

You claimed I'd posted that virtually all black people voted for Obama. I never said that. You also apparently needed help translating my "white language". Nice.

Do these people represent all black people?

I know this thread is dead, but I've been away and want to respond. I never implied this represented all black people, and kind of resent that you are trying to make a point that I am lumping blacks together. I simply was relaying a first hand observation, and trying to add to the discussion where others brought up that sometimes some people think that certain blacks aren't "black enough."

And as I have pointed out before, you just love to respond to posts with questions.

Actually I want people to say what's on their minds, instead of twisting it with what they think is clever word play. But, after re-reading your post, I'll say that I took in in the wrong way. For that mistake, I'm sorry for the misstep.

I think it's a sad mentality that some people (black, white, whatever) think there are definitive traits that define what it means to be "black". Being well spoken and intelligent isn't specific to any one race. Ignorance is universal. It knows no boundaries.

No problem, Marvin. Just did not want that hanging out there.
