Maybe you should be honest with yourself.

As for me, I am being honest.


I use my real name on here do you?

I apologize, using my real name on here, when I am wrong, do you?

The President is not racist.

I will get on with life.

BTW, here is how trickle down econimics work in this case.

Republicans are in control. They table the subject of health care reform for now and work on the economy. Fixing the economy will mean more jobs. More jobs mean more people are working. More people working mean more tax income, more tax income means less worries about other things like where are we gonna get money for social security. More people employed means more people with health coverage. Better economy means more businesses can provide the coverage.

I know there are exceptions, but it seems to me the most important issue was not health care reform, but the economy

Why does that make you so angry that you are willing to use the race card? As I said, this is politics. Were you this angry when Bush was disrespected? Clinton?

You think any black folks hated Bush cuz he was white? How about the Nation of Islam? Where you angry with them when they tried to accuse Bush of intentionally trying to harm black folks in New Orleans?

Again, has nothing to do with race

Prax, thanks for the dialogue.


I think I am done with this thread.

I don't think anyone here can understand what I'm trying to say.

Besides, I started the thread stating that it was my opinion. I think I have tried very hard, but I am still unsuccessful in putting into words the reason why I started this thread.


Just know that I don't hate or love anyone on the solely basis of their skin color. Neither do I condone such thinking and behavior. Character is much more important-- most important!

I understand it's your opinion. Respectfully though I think your opinion is subjective

I believe that "most" of what gets throw out as "racist" is nothing more than the centuries old "haves vs. have nots."

The mindset of the "have nots" is to get more of the pie from the "haves". The mindset of the "haves" is to protect what they have.

The "have nots" favor socialism as an equalizer.

The "haves" favor capitalism and hard work because that how most of them achieved their fortune. Those that inherited wealth want to keep things the same as they are so they can keep their wealth.

JD, you may never see things from the other sides point of view because perception is reality. There are perceptions that I have about things that I can't shake because they have become part of my DNA. We are all that way.

Some blacks may think that rich or well off whites are racist until proven innocent, just as some whites think poor blacks are racist until proven innocent. The cycle never ends.

You know the interesting thing I have perceived? The most racist people I have known are poor whites and wealthy blacks! Go figure that one out!

One of my employees, a Mexican lady's grandmother wouldn't have anything to do with her when she was a little girl because she was born with blue eyes and reddish hair.
