[quote who="taltamir" comment="66"]let me say, when I came to the US from israel I had a very different view of what constituted a race...It took five years of every government form asking if I am "white, asian, latino, or african" for me to see a person and think "he is black"... I did a double take the first time I thought that... it did not make sense, since black skin is just a characteristic, just like blue eyes or blond hair... sure some ethnic groups are more likely to have them, but o

[quote who="Daiwa" comment="67"]I agree that race will never cease to be an issue until we at least stop officially quantifying it. It doesn't matter to the census whether your eyes are blue or green. Likewise, the color or your skin should have no impact on your opportunities. Those who wish to continue to collect this sort of information will insist that there is no other way to enforce anti-discrimination laws & regulations, but until we as a people start viewing race

[quote]The fact is that they didn't vote for Obama just because he was black, and I know that shatters your cries of victimhood, but it simply doesn't wash. What they were inspired by was that a black man could be so inspiring, intelligent and competent sounding and be running for President. Jackson is the perfect example and proof that black people do not vote for just any idiot who fronts up with black skin. They waited for one who had a lot of great qualities. And while you may not feel he

Barak Obama Snake Oil Salesman, extraordinaire in Democrat JoeUser Forums

Barak Obama If he were to step back in time to the 1800's would have been one of the most prolific snake oil salesmen of all times. He would have convinced any crowd that his product could, cure baldness, help women get pregnant, cure arthritis, mixed in feed fatten cattle overnight, help the skinny gain weight and the fat lose it. The man is a silver tongued devil he is. Some how he blinded the American people into buying a pig in a poke. He turned their eyes away from

[quote who="MasonM" comment="59"]Only when we can get to a point where racial categorization is not a political and social way of life can we look at a media report the day after a Black President is elected and see the headline 'Best Man Won!' instead of 'Black Man Won!'.I couldn't agree more.[/quote] I see once again we agree, Imagine that?

[quote who="pictoratus" comment="58"]I don't think there is any denying that race was a contributing factor in electing Obama; for some because of his race, for some in spiteof his race.What's missing in the discussion is the underlying theme now that he has been elected and for some was a subconcious force born of the desire to see a black president.That was the belief/feeling/hope that his election would somehow show that we, as a nation, had moved on from our racial past and were ready to

[quote who="MasonM" comment="57"]I know it's easier to believe that Obama won based on race than to believe that the country rejected your philosophy, but frankly I don't think Obama could have won just for being a black man. Who said he won based on race? I didn't see a single person post that. If you honestly believe that a great many people didn't vote for him solely because he is black you have your head in the sand. No, that isn't why he won, but it is a fact just the same. I'

[quote who="MasonM" comment="49"]Sadly a great many people did vote based solely upon race. Both ways. But then I guess it's no less stupid than those who vote on some single issue or other. Let's face it, the majority of voters don't vote based upon a thorough knowledge of the issues. I guess race is as good a stupid reason to vote as any. Frankly I'd much rather hear someone say they voted for someone because of their race as to just bleat "change!" without the slightest idea of exactl
