In your world, your define it by what whites think, hence your perverse view of just about everything. And you wonder why you are lost.

I was born in 67, so I was hardly in the position to fight. But I bet I did more as a baby shyttin my clothes then you've done your whole life. Look at you; a fraud in the worse way, your cloak revealed every time you post. Only thing you were probably fighting for is a better position in the soup line with the rest of the UncleToms of that generation. Those who fought during that time, don't have the stomach for licking the boots of whitey, whereas you find it a mainstay in your cognitive diet.

No wonder you love Obama so much, both of you talk a good game, but have nothing to show for it. Yet, you are so quick to blame white folk for many of our problems, when you won't even use the God given talent and inalienable rights you have.
all this because i disagree on a point? sad. i have had enough disrespect. i'm out.

There are candidates other than the ones the media throw in our face 24/7, however more footwork is required to find out about them (i.e., Cynthia McKinney of the Green Party). Sure, the likelihood of a third-party victory is low, but personally, I'd rather support someone who I know will cater to my interests rather than a media (read "corporate") favorite who does not represent the systemic change that is needed in this country.

Interesting....

They are actually more alike than you think:

1. Both support illegal immigration
2. Both support the Iraq and Afghanistan occupations by continuing to fund it.
3. Both support 'less taxes breaks for the rich'.
4. Both support privatized health insurance.
5. Both support increase child care assitance.
6. Both support housing income assistance for low income families.

I have a question for Obama supporters: If you had the choice to vote for Obama or Cynthia McKinney, who would you vote for and why? Disregard who you believe is or isn't electable, or who you believe whites would vote for, who would you vote for?

Thank you.

Peace Bro. Meroe... I think your question deserves it's own thread. I encourage you to post a new thread on it.

Your Sis,
