Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~ Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~ Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~ Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~ “When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.” If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain. Winston Churchill |

Or is it the Zimmerman game, where he was categorized as "white" so therefore Barry is just "black"? I suppose the good news is that this administration has played out the race card, at least for me, mine and lots of other "crackers" I know. Call me a racist, I don't give a shit. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified." |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 50115609 Hong Kong 11/23/2013 11:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A biography of President Obama being studied by at least one fourth-grade class has received criticism for glossing over negative aspects of the president, painting white voters as likely racists and highlighting the commander-in-chief’s early identity struggles by focusing on his teenage drug use. Quoting: Gypsy Priest The book, “Barack Obama,” was published by Lerner Publishing in 2010 as part of their series “History Maker Bios.” All presidents going back to Richard Nixon -- except George W. Bush -- were the subjects of similar biographies published by Lerner, which did not respond to questions from FoxNews.com. Critics also say the new Obama book is biased, pointing to a passage that reads, “but some people said Americans weren’t ready for that much change. Sure Barack was a nice fellow, they said. But white voters would never vote for a black president.” "As he got older, he started smoking and drinking. Was that what it meant to be black?" - "Barack Obama," a biography read by fourth-graders Kyle Olson, founder of the conservative Education Action Group Foundation and EAGnews.org, said that is a problem. “I have no problem with kids learning about Barack Obama ... he’s the President of the United States," said Olson. "However, the book teaches fourth graders that white voters didn’t want to vote for black men.” Asked whether the sentence could also be interpreted as simply noting that some people said that white voters would be racist, he agreed but said such nuance could easily be lost on fourth-graders. [link to www.foxnews.com] The book doesn't tech that at all. You cannot subject the whole world to the ranting mind of a butt hurt victim wannabe. Whites who constantly cry about racial-guilt based issues are the worst kind of fucking cry babies ever. You can twist and construe things all you want, the statement does;t imply that whites ALL had a problem with voting for a Black President, but if you think for a sec on that NO WHITES had a problem with Obama being a black president you are fucking cluelessly ignorant to the real world. Fourth graders don't do "nuance" unless they are instructed, the only person instructing how this sentence should be read are the very same people endlessly crying about Obama being black, doing black things, saying black things, etc etc etc. |

The white guilt instigators need to let it go and move on. Racism will never end (that goes for all races) and everyone knows it. The instigators are just playing on the word for all it's worth. Nothing wrong with teaching children to judge others on actions, on who they are as a person, but to point out "racism" isn't instructive, it's divisive, just my opinion. |
