Re: Just a speech?
So why arent they being taught? Because they are black???? C'mon, give me a reason why the basic golden rule is lacking there.
What resentment? I have nothing against anyone who works hard and pushes themselves to become a better person. Black or white, it doesnt matter. Ok,maybe I am resentful. But it isnt against any one race. It is against people who are lazy and take everything they can and not give back. Nothing to do with color.
And sorry, but you cant tell me that a guy who is that hateful and made those racist comments only did it in ONE sermon that Obama just "happened" to be absent from.

Because they are raised in an environment where learning how to hotwire a car is a more common basic skill. Because that's how the generation's before them achieved wealth and status when the traditional ways weren't available to them.

Re: Just a speech?
Ok, tell that to every black grandmom I have met who reprimand their grandkids and demand respect. Somehow they get it but it hasnt crossed over to the general public. They treat their families completely different than they do the policeman or the teacher. In every black family I know, you DONT disrespect Grandma!

If brain surgery were the only means of escaping poverty could you teach me Queen? Could I teach my children? The values you and I take for granted are just as foreign to a 16 year single black mother of two who was taught by her 16 year single black mother who learned from her 16 year old single black mother.

How many black families do you really know? If I really try I might be able to come up with a dozen and none of them were raised in the inner city ghetto.

Re: Just a speech?
Would you like me to give you their names and addresses? I grew up in an area that is well mixed. And it is now ranked #9 in the country in Money Magazine. My schools are top ranked. So much so that kids from all over the country that were minorities were brought in and housed here in the ABC house (A Better Chance) and were able to get a great education. But only minorities were given that chance. But I guess only minorities live in poverty and the ghetto and they are the only ones that are supposed to get that chance, right?
Anyway, yes, my actual neighborhood is very nice but our school had the neighboring townships included. So there were plenty of blacks that I went to school with. Many I am still friends with today. Some went bad and others excelled because they wanted to get out of where they lived. I have many clients that I sell homes to that are black. I sell houses in the ghetto and I have no issues with it. No, I dont like going there at nite but I dont want to get shot.
You obviously didnt grow up in an area with many minorites, therefore you really cant say that your Mom got a job that she wouldnt have if she were black. Maybe she would have, maybe not.

Re: Just a speech?
It's called survival of the FITtest. It sucks if you come from a long line of folks teaching you poor survival skills... really, it does. But it doesn't mean that society owes you better. Take it up with your mom or grandmom or whoever passed on such poor life skills.
By the way, Tanning Queen, since your Cherokee.... can you hook me up with some peyote???

Re: Just a speech?
Ok, so brain surgery is the only way out of poverty. Good thing I am white and didnt have to learn that to survive in life.

Again you're wrong.

And again some things are over your head. I'm done. Believe what you believe and don't ever consider anything else.

Re: Just a speech?
Oh, and yes he did get rid of the endorsement from the church. It was on his website and now it isnt.
If you wife called me a dirty injun or whatever you said, Once, I wouldnt blame you, if she repeatedly said negative things about m race, then yes, I would have an issue w ith you too because you married her, you stand by her. You obviously arent offended enough to divorce her over it. It is one thing to disagree on the color of your couch, but if you deeply disagree with a huge issue, like race, then I doubt you would be together.
