I understand southern rednecks very well .. and if I may .. I don't require white people .. even good well-meaning white people to school me about racism.
Why is it democrats haven't noticed such overwhelming racism when blacks talk about the injustice of the criminal system?
Where was all the outrage when African-American after African-American continued to be murdered by the police, including a 92 year-old woman quietly sitting alone in her home?
Now "racism" is being reduced to a centrist excuse for a failed campaign
So, there isn’t racism, but there is racism when you are confronted directly about it, but white people have no right to notice it, that’s false outrage or something. I seem to recall your feeling free to act as if white women required schooling from you on abortion rights, during the primary, but ok, whatever.
As I have already said, I make no apologies for supporting the man, and Onceler is right, it is like you want to believe the worst about the guy in every way. You completely ignored my post about the reasons why I do support him. And let me be clear: I’m a woman. If the ONLY issue separating McCain and Obama was that McCain wants to force me to bring a pregnancy resulting from a violent rape to term, and Obama doesn’t, I’d vote for Obama. Now, there are many other differences and I feel that the planetary crisis of global warming at least merits a mention from you, but you seem to believe that you get special dispensation to be kinda belligerent. . You don’t want to address what I said, because you have no answer for it, and so your tactic is to continue demanding answers from others.
Whatever your reasons are bac, let’s not pretend that just because you are black, you speak for blacks…anymore than I speak for whites. Millions of black people will vote for Obama, and if he wins, they will wake up the next morning, and for the first time in our history, be able to tell their children that they can be President some day, and to millions of people, that is going to mean something more than you want to say. I'm not black, but I can kinda guess at this, and you know why? Cause black people are human. I'm human. See?
For the most part, you speak for yourself, and your own group of people, just as when I speak of the anti-war crowd, I know something about what they want and think…but they are in no way representative of white people. For the most part, I speak for me and you speak for yourself, but you like to pretend that you are speaking for the black community, witness your constant claims of Obama losing support among blacks.
I really avoid arguing with you, because I like you, but sometimes you go too far in the way you talk to and about people. I’m not ashamed of voting for rights over my own body. And I don’t like you treating me as if I should be. It makes me angry, sorry if I make you angry in return, but sometimes I just can't ignore it.
