Who does Barak think he’s fooling? |
March 18th, 2008 by darkroseToday, Barak Obama spoke in Philadelphia. Some of the things he said weren’t just downright hysterical, they were dangerous by design, and makes me quite sick that this man might eventually become President. He opened his speech with a brief diatribe about slavery. Seriously. Let’s discard the fact that many of the founding fathers/Constitution framers were also slaveowners. Let’s forget the fact that Thomas Jefferson, who famously penned the Declaration of Independence, was rumored to have had a slave mistress, and even fathered some of her children. Let’s just ignore the fact that the reason why the question of slavery was not decided in the constitution was because the south wanted slaves to count as citizens (and thus would get more representation/power in the federal government) and the NORTH did not want them to count as citizens at ALL! Do we really want a president who can’t even get his facts straight about a 220 year old document that is supposed to be the cornerstone of our society here in the US?
Great. So I should expect Obama, if elected president, to immediately abolish Equal Opportunity for blacks, the minority requirements for government contracts/contractors [pdf, just an example], the revocation of the non-profit status of the NAACP, and the general abolition of any/all federal, state, and local minority programs that might be in place? Yeah, right.
Martyr. Your ancestors were slaves. So were mine (and I’m not black). Get over it. I did.
I never disagreed with the pastors I had at my church. And you know what? If I did, I would have left the church and sought a new one. There’s only about 1,000 of them in the county I live in, I’m sure I could find SOME church that wouldn’t spout such hatred and vitrol. I’m sure I could find SOME church that didn’t gave Louis Farrakhan a Lifetime Achievement Award. I’m sure I could find SOME CHURCH out there that does not advocate a “Black Value System” that, amongst other things, advocates the “Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness””. I’m sure I could find a church that doesn’t liken prison to a concentration camp (hint: don’t want to go do jail? DON’T BREAK THE FREAKING LAW!!). I certainly wouldn’t put up with it for twenty years if I didn’t agree with it. Actions speak louder than words, Barak..Just sayin’.
Whoa there, Barak..Since you were just in Philly I’m going to use that town as an example. South Philly is full of Italians. North East Philly is full of Irish. North Philly is full of blacks and Latinos. West Philly is almost exclusively black. Schools exist in the neighborhoods and they should serve the neighborhood in which they exist. I don’t see why a child in South Philly should be forced to go to a school in North Philly. For what? Diversification? For example, the school I went to when I was in grammar school still exists and does not serve children more than a couple miles away. Now if you’re referring to educational quality, well does that reflect on the school system/teachers, the schools themselves, or the students and the parenting (or lack of) that the students receive? How does the culture play into this equation, or is it simply a case of a black kid not going to a white school? How will this solve anything?
Equal is equal. I know plenty of the whitest white boys you’ll ever meet who can’t get credit, get turned down for good jobs, etc. It isn’t just a black thing and what you’re saying and alluding to in this entire diatribe is that it is exclusively a black/race thing. Bullshit. I make less than the median income in the county in which I live. Let’s talk about wealth redistribution, shall we? Oh wait, that’s a Hillary thing, and I’m not black, right?
So the Italian and Irish workers at the turn of the century who literally built the great city of New York with their own hands, brick by brick, stone by stone, pillar by pillar, didn’t claw and bite their way? You don’t think I’m fighting to pay my bills in a low-ish paying job? It’s all about minorities? White folk go to jail too, Barak.
Thank you for at least acknowledging that us “po’ white folk” don’t get a fair shake at times, often because of programs that are supposed to somehow foster “equality”.
Great, then never, EVER mention slavery, how the black man has it so bad, etc. ever again. That would be moving on. Most people, myself included, are sick and tired of being passed up for promotions, jobs, government programs, etc because the black community is having those things handed to them on a silver platter. The Constitution guarantees us Life, Liberty, and the PURSUIT of happiness. The PURSUIT of happiness.
So much wrong with this. What ails the black community is they now have a sense of entitlement, propogated by programs such as equal opportunity, minority contract granting, etc. They feel they are somehow owed these things. For what, transgressions from over 140 years ago? In the past, I have offered to pay slave reparations to any American slave alive that has been legally owned by an American slave-owner. Considering the oldest person alive (as of this writing) is 114 years old (b. Apr 20, 1893), I think that we can safely say that there are no living slaves able to collect on my reparation offer. No one alive today has ever been a legal slave in the United States. I think the irony in this is had because Obama spends way, WAY too much time speaking of unity and equal rights, but in the end, it’s not about equal rights for people regardless of race, it’s about championing the cause for the black community. Equal Opportunity still exists. Government contracts are still granted to minority run businesses because of race over price, minorities still have many, MANY advantages that a typical white man does not have, and so on. TRUE unity would abolish these things, and The irony of the fact that he chose Philadelphia, the city where the former mayor John Street said “Let me tell you: The brothers and sisters are running this city! Oh yes, running it! Don’t let nobody fool you; we are in charge of the City of Brotherly Love. We are in charge!” in his acceptance speech is not lost as well. Discrimination and racism is a 2-way street, Barak. → No CommentsTags: Rants |
Is Obama really right for the US? |
March 3rd, 2008 by darkroseIn a recent speech in Texas, Barak Obama proudly proclaimed the following:
I do not even know where to begin with this. Let me get this straight. Washington is responsible for oil companies making record profits. Washington is somehow responsible for OPEC policy? Washington is somehow responsible for the credit crunch? Washington must have sat down and engaged in predatory lending practices, too. You know, because they just wanted to profiteer and collect commission/closing fees. Washington also apparently told consumers to go out and amass great debt, so much that the little guys can’t pay it off. You know, because Washington is responsible for everything bad in this world. Now, let’s tackle the second part. Under Bush’s tax relief plan, the greatest percentage of relief goes to the lowest earners. It’s a PERCENTAGE. Everyone should have the burden of paying taxes. Anyway, how is it fair that someone like say, Donald Trump, would be compelled to give away his fortune to the rivet guy working on his latest hotel? How is it fair that The Don would be compelled to pay taxes, yet that riveter guy doesn’t have to? We do not live in Soviet Russia, Barak. A capitalist society demands that there be a top of the food chain and a bottom of the food chain. Even the most service-driven society is going to need ditch diggers. → 2 CommentsTags: Rants |
This weekend sucked. |
November 5th, 2007 by darkroseSo the asshats at the CBS affiliate cut off the Jags game with 9 minutes left and the Jags down 14 points. For a “more compelling” 12 point game. Tom “Golden Boy” Brady managed to rally his team to score 14 points in 9 minutes. Forget that the Jags were not able to stop anyone and the offense sucked..but weirder things have happened in a game (what about Houston scoring 25 unanswered points a few weeks back?). The point is they put a crawl out that said that it was a network decision. Come to find out, it wasn’t: rather it was an equipment problem. Still grossly unacceptable that they switched a home market away from the game win, lose, or draw. Fred Taylor needs just 13 yards to hit 10,000. I don’t want to think about what would have happened to that poor (sic) TV station should he have hit that milestone while we watched Chad Johnson of the Bungles lying motionless on the field in the Cincy-Buffalo game. Then we have the Clots/Belicheats playing for the masters of cheatdom in the NFL. Belicheat almost lost the game, but the holy camcorder prevailed. Indy will no doubt blame the skipping piped-in crowd noise to explain this one. |
