Yeah the blind optimism turning every defeat into a victory. Gotta love politics. So he comes in 5th in a repub primary and suddenly he's a viable 3rd party candidate?? He knows he can't win anything as a 3rd party, thats why he's trying to get the repub nomination.

Somehow I get the feeling that next January after the next president is sworn into office, people will still be talking about how Paul was robbed by the MSM and that his revolution is working.

Is he? Tell me, is it because he says he's black or just the time-honored antebellum tradition that one corpuscle of black blood pollutes any other ancestry you might have?

maybe this will help clear the confusion:


Quote:
High yellow, occasionally simply yellow (dialect: yaller, yeller), is a term for very light-skinned African-Americans. The term was in common use in the United States at the end of the 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century, and appears in many popular songs of the era, such as "The Yellow Rose of Texas".

"High" derives from the fact that these individuals are so light skinned, they often pass for white. Many high yellows are as light skinned as Europeans, and even lighter than some Europeans. Their specific skin hue is generally not caused by albinism, contrary to popular belief, but theorized to be caused by a level of a mixture with Europeans and chance inheritance of melanin-production regulating genes from the white ancestors. In other cases, some African-descending individuals simply have natural lighter-skinned genes than most other Africans, without biracial admixturing.[1]

He didn't make the rules - he's playing by them. Where's your hatred of Tiger Woods been?

You're clouding the issue. It's not Obama's version of his heritage vs. reality...it's the idiots who are going to vote for him because of it.

I would agree that is a discussion-issue, it's not the one I was addressing though.

I call bull$hit on this one.

I distinctly remember a few years ago when some reporter from Jet or the like grabbed Tiger after a major win and asked him how he felt being an African American dominating a predominantly White sport.

Tiger got immediately and visibly annoyed and reminded the guy that he was half Asian (Thai?) as well.

The "interview" pretty much ended right there.

It's not "hatred" of mixed people. It's irritation at how disengenous it is for an individual to completely disavow half of one's heritage in order to use the other half to get ahead in the world.

The only thing Black about Obama is his name. Didn't his White Mother and Grandfather do the vast majority of the parenting while he was growing up?

Barack Obama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


In the memoir, (Dreams from My Father.[19]) Obama describes his experiences growing up in his mother's American middle class family. His knowledge about his African father, who returned once for a brief visit in 1971, came mainly through family stories and photographs.[14]

Yup. Misrepresentation.

The Political Scene: The Candidate: The New Yorker

-Obama, then in his late twenties, hardly knew his father and never met his grandfather

Their respective struggles in the world ended painfully, in bitter loneliness. Beside their graves, Obama, a middle-class American, both mourns and, for the first time, understands his African forebears.

(his desire for a future in politics likely fueled his "understanding")


Besides - did anybody see this guy dance on the Ellen Show? (It was a clip from E's "The Soup". I swear.) I've got more rhythm. (the preceding racial stereotype was an attempt, albeit a poor one, at satirical humor. **** you AND your attorneys.)

Oh, and my Sicilian Dad, in July, is darker than Obama....

Where you getting "hatred" from pal? Wait I know. You're own twisted psyche.

If you want to vote for someone who, if "Caucasian," wouldn't have the qualifications to be dog catcher, simply because it makes you feel better about your (bigoted) self, be my guest bud. I have no such insecurities.

Whenever the name gets mentioned you're there with a "bla bla bla because he's black." Might not be hate, but it's something along those lines

I'm sorry you're so threatened by a successful black man who speaks well. I have no such insecurities. (For the record though, I didn't caucus for him)

That's because he probably has got some black blood in him

Seriously though...Obama doesn't look anymore white to me than Colin Powell. If someone that looked exactly like Obama were to come up to you on the street kick you in the balls and run away how would you describe him to the police? As a white man? I think most people would say it was a black man that kicked them in the balls. If people weren't aware that his mom was white...he'd be classified as black by most people based his looks/features.
