Obama Not Black?

[Brandon Rhea]

A woman on The Colbert Report just said that Barack Obama is not black because he is not the descendant of a slave, has not suffered and has not lived the "black experience".

My ears are bleeding.

Yet another example of the unlimited stupidity that continues to decimate our planet.

That woman appears to like segregation.

Indeed. Black people have to be equal to whites, which is obviously true since we all deserve to be free and to be treated equal, but then you're allowed to slice and dice the blacks into other groups?

I mean, rednecks and white people pretending to be black piss me off, but I don't say they're not white.

He's talking about the idiots who say he's not black.

 

[Enishi]

So... this women is a republican?

 

[Brandon Rhea]

I believe she was a Democrat.

I just forgot to mention that this woman is black as well.

 

[Matt]

Well unless she was a slave she is talking bollocks

I believe obama's black parent was from kenya , I bet living there was a damn sight harder then in america.

Indeed, also I'm sure this woman must realize the people of the United States would rather have a educated man run for President than one of the "******" from the ghetto.

The ignorance that I pick up from this post is astonishing. By saying that, you are declassing the african americans who are not educated for any reason, whether by choice or inability (lack of funds, etc.). You must realize that if a black child living in a ghetto had the oppertunities as a middle class child, black or white, then he wouldn't grow up differently at all, despite his characteristic differences. Also, I resent your use of that word, even if you were not meaning it in a durogatorive way.

 

[Matt]

Hardly, it is commen sense. Would you want a person of black, latino or white colour to be in power if they were as intelligent as a fruit bat...No of course you wouldn't.

Also are you black?

It appears he was using it in the way that which black people call other black people. IE the rappers who present that image to those who live in the ghetto and act like morons. Their education has nothing to do with their attitude toward their fellow man, IMO. Though, I don't think we want to dwell on this topic for very long, racism sucks.

 

[Brandon Rhea]

Indeed. No matter what we say, because of the double standard everyone on this site will look like a prick by the time this conversation is over.

 

[barrill]

Are you serious? She said that on national television?

 

[Brandon Rhea]

If Comedy Central is considered national television, then yeah she did.

 

[barrill]

Wow, create some more arguments and ish.

EDIT: Not you, the women, lol.

 

[Brandon Rhea]

I was just about to be like "wtf did I do?"

 

[barrill]

Haha yeahh, if I was talkin about you then I'd be the one makin arguments. And ish.
